    Island White Fish & BBQ Chicken Mix
    Kenny Y.

    Came here for a quick pick up lunch during my work week. It was past the lunch rush at around 3pm ish so it wasn't busy inside. The interior was pretty clean and orange colored walls all around. I ordered a two item combo with white fish and teriyaki chicken. My order came out in about 10 mins. Chicken was very fresh and white fish was super crunchy. It also came with tartar sauce, macaroni salad, and of course white rice. All things inside the place went so well together, like peas and carrots. A place with consistent yummy Hawaiian food that hits the spot!

    We were craving for Hawaiian food a few days ago and decided to go to Ono Hawaiian BBQ, the one on Valley Blvd. in Alhambra on Sunday. The ambiance was okay, but it was kind of too simple and dull. We ordered two Spam musubi ($6.99 each for 2 pieces), a Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mini meal ($11.29), a Kalua Pork plate lunch ($13.99), and a Kalua Combo ($14.49). My daughters liked the spam musubi, and we got two orders for them, so they each had two big pieces. The Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mini meal wasn't too mini; the portion was great with flavorful BBQ chicken, 1 scoop of rice, 1 scoop of macaroni salad, and vegetables. For my Kalua Pork plate lunch (Hawaii's version of pulled pork), I liked my slow-roasted shredded pulled pork with a bit of smoky flavor. It was served over steamed cabbage. The cabbage was a bit chewy, though. I wish the cabbage could be softer; maybe steam it a bit longer. For the Kalua Combo, besides the Kalua pork, you can pick the second choice of BBQ Chicken, Chicken Katsu, or Teriyaki Chicken. Hubby picked the Chicken Katsu. The portion was big, and it had 2 scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and steamed veggies. You can also customize to have the sides, such as 2 scoops of macaroni salad and one scoop of rice, and one scoop of steamed veggies. (Choose your sides up to 4 for the combo.) The staff was a bit impatient and kept saying "anything else" a few times after my hubby placed his order, but I hadn't ordered any other food for my daughters, my mom, and myself. Other than that, the food came out quickly.

    This place is always the best when it comes to the perfect and delicious Teriyaki Chicken. Hands down to the staff for a great and incredible service. The ambiance here was nice and welcoming. They had decorations of Hawaii and it felt like I was actually in Hawaii and it was nice. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and it's my #1 favorite food to eat. It was cooked to the perfect temperature and their serving size was actually a good portion size and I would definitely come back here. Thanks Ono Hawaiian BBQ

    There is an $8 special right now. 4 pieces of fish. Rice and salad. With a drink comes to under $13. It's really good. Nice restaurant. Helpful and friendly staff. Fairly quick service. Quiet doning area, good for quick meals. I didn't care for their tartar sauce but other sauces very good.

    The service here is wonderful and the food here is amazing & the ambience here is excellent

    Wish it had more beef

    Customer service was horrible, the speed of the food was great though. I had to wait for the cashier to finish a conversation with her friend. After ordering, the cashier decided to leave her station to talk to another friend who was eating. My meal was ready but the cashier was still busy talking for over 5 minutes to her friends. Two ordered were finished being made by the time she notice. I'm never coming back.

    I got a large drink with coke :)

    I decided to grab some Ono's for dinner for me and my husband since I had a coupon earlier today :) Ordering process: I was surprised but I was able to call and place my order for pick up. I called around 2:49 PM, placed the order, and the employee said my order would be ready in 10 or so minutes. The ordering process was soOoO easy since I didn't have to order in person and wait. They also have online ordering available as well, which I may use next time: https://order.onohawaiianbbq.com/ Food: ++Hawaiian BBQ Mix $14.99 - comes with BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef & Kalbi Short Ribs. You can also sub the BBQ chicken for chicken katsu, BBQ Beef or Teriyaki Chicken. -Plate Lunches include 2 scoops of rice, 1 scoop of our famous Macaroni Salad and vegetables. -Fortunately, none of the meat was charred too much. My BBQ chicken was a little toasty on the edges but it was still edible (and not as bad as the other reviews.. but I may have gotten lucky haha). -The two scoops of rice are kinda small, along with the amount of mac salad you get. Amongst the steamed veggies, there was a huge cabbage core that my husband ate lol. The kalbi short ribs were a little on the thinner side but it was properly seasoned. I had nothing to complain with the BBQ Beef. They don't give you too much meat but it's filling and just barely enough for me to share with my husband. ++Large Fountain Drink Coke - $2.69 -The drink size is pretty big. It's more than enough haha. You can choose from coke, diet coke, sprite, water, two Hi-C flavors, and I believe Fanta. Customer Service: It was good on the phone. When I called, I had asked for the Hawaiian BBQ plate and the employee asked me which one/plate, which threw me off. I wasn't looking at the menu since I was out and had been looking at the menu on my phone, but she finally realized I wanted the 'mix' haha. When I came inside the store to pick up, my order was ready.. so they were efficient and accurate on the timing. I handed the female employee my coupon and she had spent a little bit of time reading the coupon (I almost thought she wouldn't honor it). When she rang me up, I wasn't sure how much the Hawaiian BBQ Mix was for so I asked and she told me..but then she mentioned... it costs this much because you got a drink and then she kinda gave her manager a look. Yeah... well I knew that but I wanted to just make sure the cost was correct (you just never know!). Then the two workers (I'm assuming the manager + her) cracked a joke, and then I started feeling a little uncomfortable. Just a little thought, it was pretty pleasant and seamless until then. Cleanliness: The store was clean and a lot of indoor seating was available (since I came at such a random time in the afternoon). Yeah, I think I'll come back if I'm in the area and crave some Ono. I think this place is a hit or miss, but hopefully, they can be more consistent in the future!

    Cannot see chicken. Maybe there's nothing inside, just rice masubi

    Chicken masubi is wayy too small. You cant even see it. Its pure rice. No chicken. I will not come back to this store for my lunch break.

Food portions were good and food was fresh. Ordered 1 entree lunch plates and 1 entree breakfast plates, all were delicious. Spicy Garlic Shrimp wasn't spicy, I used sriracha to give the extra spice. Mac Salad was good, different version than your usual Hawaiian spot. It's a cross between a Hawaiian Mac salad with potato and egg. Macadamia nut pancakes were good. The pancake itself was fluffy and the cream tasted like a light macadamia vanilla cream custard, no syrup needed

    I've had this spot bookmarked for a while now and because I got some local food passport as a gift…read morerecently, it reminded me to make my way here. I got their two item breakfast plate with Portuguese sausage and steamed veggies with over-easy eggs; and a small pancakes as part of the passport offering. The breakfast plate was a bit bland, including their sausage, which is thinly sliced versus what I've seen on their Yelp page (inflation sized sausages). I mean, I get why there are soy sauce and hot sauce condiments readily available. My steamed veggies turned out to be veggies in a teriyaki sauce, which I guess was fine as it added more flavor to my breakfast plate. I don't have any authority to judge what good pancakes are since I never order it, but theirs was fluffy with a slightly sweetened cream sauce that reminds me of the custard in a cream puff pastry. But the pancakes were 1 1/2 times double the size of my head so it's huge! I barely made a dent in most of the food so I guess I have leftovers for days now. Service was good and the place had a nostalgic charm to it. If you're in search of ginormous portions in carbs for a reasonable price, then this is your place.

    Accidentally went there. I was looking for a car part at the O'Reilly auto parts that anchors this…read morestrip mall and decided to walk over to see the restaurant. While I was staring at the menu deciding whether I wanted to get anything, several people came and went with their orders and everyone told me to get the fried chicken. So, I went inside and got the fried chicken with macaroni salad. A few mintues later, I added a katsu musubi to the order. This is not fast-food. The wait is real. About 12 minutes. I then had probably about 10 minutes of driving before I sat down to eat. The fried chicken is delicious and has a great crispy/crunchy skin. There is a faint sweetness that coats the chicken. The meat was not super plump like some national-chain places (I think those places brine-injected the chicken). Depending on your preference, this might feel too dry to you. Their dipping sauce for the chicken is very tasty. If they just sold that in bottles, I'd come just to buy that for use at home! Speaking of preferences, the macaroni salad is also well made, but it's simple and might be disappointing if you're expecting some kind of flavor kick. I liked it very much, because it is in the style of the basic macaroni salad -- someone described it as going home to Hawaii for them -- and I think that's what it is. Portions were enough to split into two meals. So I had half of my chicken and the mac salad. I had planned to also only eat half of the musubi. But it was delicious and had a nice crunch which I'm sure would not have held up being kept in the fridge. I really enjoyed the musubi on its own, but also enjoyed taking turns with bites with that sauce added on. I stored the rest of the chicken and mac salad in the fridge and then had them for dinner 6 hours later. Despite being in the fridge, the chicken still had a bit of a crunchy bite to it - it wasn't a mushy soggy mess. Very friendly service. This is not a sit-down place you go to for a dining experience - just a solid place to get food to go that will be delicious. Now that I've had the fried chicken that everyone seems to recommend, I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.

The lady at the counter was super sweet and made small talk with me. I got my order which came out to $17.12 after tax. Food-wise, the fried chicken was indeed delicious! I loved the batter: it was shatteringly crisp. The chicken was tender and flavored well, but I loved the sauce that came with it! For the mac salad, I thought it was just okay. It tasted a bit plain from other mac salads I've tried, but the noodles were cooked perfectly. For the price, the portion size is okay, but I'm not complaining since the food was good. Overall, the friendly service and fried chicken is what makes me want to come back again! I definitely want to try their other offerings too. Would recommend!
