This place is conveniently located a few minutes away from me. Always bountiful amounts of food leftover and we usually get family style. My favorite is the bbq beef and chicken catsup, but honestly, I can't just eat those without rice and macaroni. read more

Small parking lot so you'll have to park in the Target or Mancini's area. No outdoor seating. I wanted to try their new hula guava pie. When we got home, we found that it was not included in our takeout order & I had to drive all the way back to get it corrected. Alejandra said it was our fault because we were supposed to grab the pie from the counter. However, she never said anything when she had taken our order. Never apologized either. Absolutely horrible service and I personally will never return. read more

GRAND REOPENING of this Colma store with a BOGO on any place, NO LIMIT! I saw families with bags of BOGO food, in fact some of the people in front of me right 5 plates and got 5 free! They are giving out random t-shirts and bags until they run out. It's one per individual or group which means let's suppose you went there with your friend and even if you ordered separately because you were near them you may or may not get a free gift. Like I had my own order and my friend had his own order with SEPERATE bills and they would not let him get a t-shirt because he was with me, which mad no sense. Super chaotic and I'm not saying it wasn't true, but there were some old ladies who said they were suffering from heat stroke and were able to cut the line and come inside. I think they cut down on this later because it looks like they were putting a place holder. The DIY sauce line was ridiculous and so was waiting for the food with confusion with the orders when people couldn't produce their receipts half an hour later, maybe they threw them away? Not sure but there were a lot of unhappy people. My seafood platter was not fully fried enough. I had to place the fried shrimp and fish into my airfryer to fry it up more. Also, the lady didn't hear me when I asked for substitute salad instead of rice. Oh well, deal with the crazy if you want. Still a good deal if you can get in and out in under half an hour. read more

Ordered a mini BBQ chicken for lunch for $14.27. It was filling for me because I'm a small eater. The amount of chicken and veggies makes for a balanced meal. I would say it's a decent fast casual lunch option with fast service but nothing amazing. read more

The island fire chicken brought me on a trip to the island where volcanoes were raging in an epic geological display of nature's most powerful forces. It was fire. It was gloriously spicy and awesome to behold. The leafy greens with its tangy, gingery yet light dressing toned down the heat just enough like the trees that that offer a respite from the raging heat. Yep, the meat was super tender and bountiful like a luau. I was invited to join in Ono's festivities, its culture, and its flavors. They were very quick with the prep too, as I was out of there in just a few minutes! The string of orders before me also were completed very quickly. The food and containers were still very hot when I took out the takeout containers. read more

Never noticed this location since the opening for the parking lot is slightly hidden in my opinion. The restaurant is clean, the service is fast and food comes out within 10-15mins. I did run into some communication issues with my order. I ordered two meals with the same exact items and somehow got different items for it and I didn't notice until after I got home. The chicken katsu was very thin and had more breading than meat and the short ribs were a bit tough. The bbq chicken and the macaroni salad was pretty good though. read more

Came here for the 1st time w/ family and it was good!! From ordering to getting our meal was about 15 minutes but it gave us time to get drinks and utensils and condiments. The place was busy but the staff is very good - taking orders and getting them out. The lemon chicken was excellent- loved the flavor! Kalbi short ribs was well flavored- loved the steam cabbage that came with it. Mac salad is better than most - lots of flavor and just enough mayo. Crispy shrimp - really good these guys know how to fry Chicken katsu- loved the breading just wish the chicken was cut a bit thicker ! Musubi - good grill on the spam and loved the sauce Over all a great meal - busy little place but they know how to handle a crowd. The food is good and you get more than enough to fill you up and in some cases have leftovers. read more

We went here for the grand re-opening on Friday, the line was pretty long but manageable. They had a special going on that day, buy one plate, get one free. The place hasn't changed that much in my opinion. My favorite bbq beef was amazing as usual. It was only missing the cabbage, but I can only imagine because it was crazy busy. Food was hot and fresh, on point as usual. I love the addition of the hula guava pie read more

After being closed for renovations for 5 months, Ono Colma has finally reopened, and I'm stoked! I got there about 5:15 pm Friday night to take advantage of their Grand Reopening BOGO deal. The line was out the door. However, from the time I got in line to the time I left, it was only about half an hour. They were very efficient and prepared for the mass amount of people they knew they would have. I still have the same complaint though...just the one sauce station. I grabbed my sauces after I ordered and didn't wait too long. But by the time I got my food, that sauce line was probably 10-15 deep. read more

I came by for their grand reopening BOGO. I was really impressed with how organized the event was. An employee came by to explain the promotion for those in line. From joining a ~20 person line to getting the food was about 30 minutes. I was surprised how good the food - this place had never been on my radar. I'd recommend dining in to appreciate how well fried their chicken katsu is. It is a bit pricey but they are generous with the protein and I had a good amount for takeaway. I think the menu is confusing and overwhelming where the tv scrolls through different platters and it jumps numbers (1, 2, 5, 47) for different combinations of meats. There was constantly a 8 people deep line for diy teriyaki sauce. Given the crowd though, I think the restaurant performed admirably in getting people in and out and all the staff were really nice and patient. The promotion was surprisingly generous with no limits on the BOGO. They gave us coupons too and I'll be back! read more

My first time trying this place out and I was pretty impressed. Inside there are plenty of tables and everything is very clean. They have cute island type decor. The menu covers your typical Hawaiian fast food options but one key thing I didn't see is the loco moco, which is a bummer. We got the island chicken plate, a chicken katsu mini meal, all with only mac salad. We also got an order of the crispy shrimp appetizer. All the fried food was nicely battered and fried, not overly greasy. The shrimp came as rings though, which was a bit odd and made me question how those were made. We didn't realize we would have to get our own katsu sauce, they don't put it in the bag for you for your to-go orders. Mac salad is delicious and pairs well with any of the dish options. This place always has offers and coupons to help you maximize savings on your meals, which is a nice incentive to keep you coming back. read more

A Taste of Excellence at Ono Restaurant, Colma! Stepping into Ono Restaurant in Colma was a fantastic decision, and I'm thrilled to share my experience! From the moment I walked in, the inviting ambiance set the stage for what turned out to be a truly delightful meal. If you're looking for a spot that consistently delivers, keep reading! My go-to order, the Grilled Chicken Breast, was, as always, absolutely delicious and utterly dependable - it truly never disappoints. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was exceptional. Nicole, who assisted me, was wonderful, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's clear that great food paired with attentive service makes all the difference. What truly impressed me was not just the delicious meal, but also the immaculate environment. Junior, the manager, is doing an outstanding job ensuring the place is sparkling clean, which definitely enhances the dining experience. With delicious food, great service, and a spotlessly clean setting, Ono Restaurant comes with my highest recommendation! read more

I genuinely enjoyed the food here and will definitely come back to try other plates on the menu! Came here on Tuesday night around 7pm and it wasn't too busy; food came out fast. I ordered the chicken combo which came with a generous portion of rice, mac salad, and chicken katsu and BBQ chicken over a bed of lettuce. Katsu was delicious and crispy and the BBQ chicken was tender and flavorful. Mac salad was also pretty solid. There was a self-serve sauce station for teriyaki and tonkatsu sauce which was a plus. Both sauces paired great with my order. You definitely get a good bang for your buck here. read more

Came back after a two year hiatus. Ordered the chicken katsu for dine in. Looks like the remodeled. Restaurant is clean. Katsu wasn't overly cooked so good to eat. They no longer provide edaname in their salad. We asked for a paper plate to split the box and they told us they don't give it out. Later someone came in to pick up their order and asked for plates and they gave it to them. Other than that food was ok. read more

I got the kalula pork and the fire island chicken. The total was around 31 dollars which is really pricy for just two meals. The service was fast and they call your number up when its ready. I came around 8:30 amd there were a handful of people still there. The food waa good tho, the fire island chicken was flavorful yet spicy. The kalula pork was good as well and you get a good amount of meat. Theres plenty of tables and good lighting. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch and had a great experience. The Island Fire Chicken was juicy, packed with flavor, and had just the right amount of heat. It paired well with the perfectly creamy macaroni salad, which had a nice balance of richness without being too heavy. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp, and it was just as flavorful--well-seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. The portions were satisfying, and the food definitely hit the spot for a Hawaiian plate lunch. read more

National SPAM Musubi Day Ono Hawaiian BBQ advertises 50% off an order of Spam Musubi, as described in their e-mail. Online orders through their website or App only, no walk in orders. So I tried to order online using their App as well as the website for the following locations, Colma and San Francisco. My order of (5) Spam Musubi came out to a total of $36.45, after applying the Online Code "SPAM 808" my total came out to $35.88 with a total discount of $3.65. Whatever happened to their 50% off discount after applying the Online Code "SPAM808". I called both locations and complained about their false advertising of 50% off discount, they told me that it was an online or App issue, and they have no further knowledge of the online order discount. read more

First, parking: they have about 15 spaces right outside the restaurant and generally not full. If it is, you can park at the lot next to it and walk over. While we have eaten plate lunches here, I'm only going to review my catering order experience since there doesn't seem to be any recent catering reviews. The catering menu can be a little confusing, so I'm hoping my experience will help. I needed to feed 18 of us and was going back and forth between the catering packages which goes from 10-12 people ($149.99) to 20-24 people ($249.99)... but I needed something in between. I opted for the ala carte of their catering menu instead. I ordered 1 small chicken tray ($35.99), 1 small beef tray ($50.99), 1 small rice ($16.99), and 1 small macaroni salad ($25.99). Service: Suzette helped answer a bunch of my questions patiently. She showed me the different pan sizes, asked the cooks to clarify the weight of the food I'd be getting, and ensured I'd be able to pick up early the following day close to opening time. Answers below... Quantity: The menu states that each small tray would feed 10-12, so I asked if there would be 12 scoops of rice and macaroni each and was told that they fill it to the top instead of counting scoops. Also, in theory, my 2 trays of protein should be enough to feed 20-24, but in reality, it was perfect to feed 18 (right in the middle). On the catering package menu for 10-12, you also get 2 small trays, but the employees also insist that it still only feeds 10-12, possibly because it's a safer answer (depending on how much food each person takes, of course). I did ask about the weight of each protein tray and was told that it's 4 lbs each weighed raw, which might help you decide what size to order. Each protein had veggies underneath made up of cooked broccoli and cabbage. At the end of the meal, there were a couple of pieces of meat and a small portion of macaroni salad left. Quality: Both meats were tasty and flavorful but not overly salty. Rice was nicely cooked and fluffy, and macaroni salad (which apparently also has tuna in it) was very yummy. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their plate lunches, and I would totally order this way again but with way more confidence! Food was ready on time for pick up, and they provided plates, utensils, napkins, and sauces. It all comes in a nice blue cardboard box for easy carrying (you can see a partial view on the top left of the photo). read more

I like Ono overall, but this review is for their catering meals/menu, specifically. I have ordered food from Ono's catering menu a number of times over the past decade-and-a-half (plus) and I keep going back to them for catering meals because it's consistently convenient and delicious. The prices are excellent for the quantity of food you receive and it's something that everyone can enjoy. I have yet to have one person (in all of the years I've been ordering from the Ono Catering menu) not find something they can not just eat, but *enjoy* eating. That said, if you're able to do so, I'd recommend making your own rice because what they charge for rice is absolutely insane. When it comes to sides, I recommend ordering a small tray of the Mac Salad, regardless of how many people you're feeding, as the quantity you receive in the small container is more than sufficient, given that it's not something everyone eats - and for the people who *do* eat it, it's not something they'll fill up on. I would also recommended ordering a small tray of the Aloha Salad (definitely ask for extra dressing!), as it's actually surprisingly delicious even though it looks super basic. (I'd recommend you trying it if you have not yet tried it.) If you can afford to splurge, I would recommend a large tray of their SPAM Musubi (I believe there are 50 SPAM Musubis in a large order). It's a HUGE hit every time I've ordered it - and it always goes REALLY quickly because it's both delicious and a super convenient "grab-and-go" item. (I always pull about 6-8 of them out of the tray before putting the tray out for the people I'm feeding so I can ensure I'm able to eat some once I finally get around to eating myself and so I can take some home for the next day.) As far as the meats are concerned, I have gotten the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken every time I've ordered catering from Ono because it's a consistent hit. Besides the Hawaiian BBQ chicken, I've gotten their Kalbi (short ribs), which are really good (coming from someone who is 1/2 Korean!) and their Katsu Chicken. One thing to note about the Katsu Chicken - in case you're wondering - is that despite its being fried and put in a sealed container with holes punched in the lid/cover, I have never found the breading to be soggy (and yes, the chicken has been hot when I've picked it up, so it's not like they let the chicken cool off to prevent it from being soggy and you end up receiving cold chicken). I don't know how they manage to keep the breading from getting soggy, but I do find it to be impressive that the chicken is crispy every time I get it. Lastly, although the Catering Menu states that Catering Orders have to be placed something like (at least) 48-72 hours prior to your event, I have called Ono literally a couple of hours in advance of the time I've needed food (in a pinch) and every single time, they've been able to accommodate my order. I can't guarantee you'll have the same experience if you order catering at the last minute, but I've done it a few times and they've always come through for me, which is yet one more reason for my 5-Star review. Anyway, I hope the information I've provided here helps if you're considering ordering food from Ono's Catering Menu. It's a great option for a good quantity of food at a reasonable price and final tip to note is that if requested, they will include plates, napkins and utensils with their catering orders at no cost, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to get those items or having to pay extra for them on top of what you're already spending on the food. * I don't have time to find pictures of some of my previous catering orders right now, but if I find some pictures later, I'll try to add them to this review. read more

I mean it's a chain, so it can only be so great, but I do like this place. They hook it up fat with huge portions and service is usually very quick to get you your food. I think the only real critique is the meat is not always as high quality as I wish. I've never gotten sick or anything, but sometimes you'll get some gristle or fat that is not that pleasant to eat, especially with the BBQ beef or chicken. At least the katsu hides it via the frying, but sometimes you get a piece of katsu that's basically just breading. Delicious breading, but just breading. I'd definitely go back, and I always do because the portions are so good, but you should know what to expect. Expect a lot of food that is about 7.5/10 and indulgent. read more

Disappointed with my portion for an Aloha Plate of BBQ Chicken. The regular plate has like 50% more meat. Why is this plate so little meat when the price is like a $0.50 difference? Service was great and fast. Restaurant was nice and clean. Plenty of workers. But this should be reviewed by management because you will lose loyal customers if you keep shrinking the portion of the serving to maximize profits. read more

Ono, what happened to the quality of your grilled chicken? Did you switch to a cheaper supplier? It has become quite disappointing. I ordered the grilled lemon pepper chicken, which is the same chicken used for the teriyaki. I usually order this meal 2-3 times a month at this location, and it has always been good. However, the last two times, the chicken has been awful. It tastes rubbery, like fake poultry, and has a slight odor. The quality is so poor that I couldn't eat more than two bites. I even tried offering some to my dog, and he refused to eat it, which is quite telling. It's concerning when a dog won't eat the chicken. I can't continue eating here; I can't trust restaurants that cut corners with their food suppliers. If you're ordering chicken katsu or similar dish that's doused in sauce, you probably won't notice theirs an issue. However, proceed with caution if you decide to continue eating here. read more

When I tell You I trusted this location to cater for a family party, they definitely DISAPPOINTED ME and my guests. It was so embarrassing. Food was inedible, it tasted a day old or the bottom of the bucket kind of food. The chicken, couldn't even tear it apart because it was so thin and hard, over cooked. The shrimp tasted like it was from Safeway lol and the fish I was too terrified to try the dish because of how the other fried food was. I spent $100+ and the only decent thing I received was the short ribs, rice, and mac. The only reason why I chose to cater from here is because with all my previous experiences I LOVED their food, it was good! But man I'm sorry I will not return to this place. read more

I used to go to Ono Hawaiian A LOT years ago. It was easy hearty takeout. Recently they mailed some BOGO coupons to my house and I noticed they have a couple of new items on the menu: Island fire chicken Melemele curry chicken Both items were spicy but the melemele curry was spicier yet the island fire chicken tasted better. Both were awesome as a salad with their shredded cabbage. The plate also comes with mac salad and rice but if you're trying to eat clean, this makes a great leftover fried rice for kiddo. We also got our standard island fried fish and chicken katsu. I mean you can't go wrong with the classics. Ordering was super easy. The wait wasn't that bad, maybe 10 minutes. You can wait comfortably in their large dining space. It's pretty clean too. The parking lot is a little small and always packed but I usually go around towards Target to avoid all the craziness. Hoping to get more BOGO coupons! At that price, it's an absolute steal!! read more

I'm surprised by the low rating here. This by far is the best Ono location I've been to. The online ordering process was easy and my food was ready on time for pickup as promised. I also ordered an extra item in-person, and the wait was not long at all. I didn't look at the food until I got home, but I could feel that they were packed! And I was right. So much food in each box and it all looked delicious. Melemele curry chicken (5/5): I'm loving this new item! The curry had a spicy kick that was so fragrant and addicting. I would order this again. Hawaiian bbq mix (4.5/5): short rib, bbq beef and bbq chicken. Such a classic dish and I always order this one. The meat juice mixing with the veggies was also delish! Wish there was a bit more beef though. Kalua combo (4/5): kalua pork and chicken katsu. This is my other go-to order. The kalua pork was a little dry this time, but the chicken katsu was juicy and crispy! read more

Worst customer service ever! I ordered my food on line at 1:43 pm - they handed my order at 2:27pm. My meal sat on their counter for more than 15 minutes before I received it.

If your order takes longer than expected, I would ask them to double check. Clearly they can seem to read the receipt properly. read more
