    Grand Opening today January 16, 2026
    Jack R.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Grand re-opening special..buy 1 get 1 free

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    chicken combo
    Sally Z.

    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.

    Their catering service is great. We've never had any issues and the taste of the food is always consistent.

    Kalua Pork Island Fire Chicken
    Sydney C.

    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.

    Urine smell and liquid in my meal so gross

    Ordered a chicken katsu plate and for some reason it had a bad unpleasant smell L&L is way better than this location

    I was craving seafood boil and could not justify driving an hour down to SJ and waiting in a…read moremassive line to get it, so I decided to try out Cajun Bowl again. I used the promotion on the website to get 2 free pounds of shrimp as well as the #7 combo (shrimp, mussels, crawfish). I got the combo in the super ultimate sauce. The flavor of the sauce was pretty good, and you get a lot of it in the bag. It was interesting because it had a bit of a tomato-y scent to it, almost like creamy spaghetti sauce, but it also reminded me of instant ramen flavoring (lol)?? I like that the sauce didn't taste as salty or as unhealthy as Boiling Crab's sauce, which has a ton of butter and leaves me chugging water afterwards. As for the seafood itself, the shrimp was good but a bit overcooked. My favorite part of shrimp is eating the heads, but these heads did not taste very good or fresh. Similarly, I got a few mussels that were closed which means they were dead before cooking and have to be tossed. I also wish they had a combo that was shrimp + mussels + clams because I don't really like crawfish. I do like that the combo comes with some sides, but the sausage pieces should definitely be bigger than some skinny slices. Overall taste of the bag was fine, and it was piping hot so seems like it was really freshly cooked when I picked up. Cajun Bowl hit the spot and I'm glad I have this option close to home!

The service was alright however the servers kept leaving us every few minutes and it took forever for them to take our order. We got the shrimp mac and cheese (spicy) and the 1lb of snow crab legs (mild) with the super ultimate sauce with an addition of sausage and broccoli. The shrimp mac and cheese was very delicious and the crab legs were large and meaty. While pretty good, the crab was a bit overcooked and the sauce we had gotten lacked a lot of flavour and was thick and pasty rather than seasoned well. The sausage was very good though. Overall the experience was quite nice but lacking in some departments.

Food is meant to be shared, but my group all got separate entrees. I ordered the garlic shrimp rice plate, which was filling just for one person. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough shrimp! Flavor was garlicky, but not salty enough. This is probably a good thing, since you can adjust to your own dietary preference. A bit on the oily side (hence filling), but that's to be expected with garlic shrimp. The night we went, there was a birthday party happening in their private room. It was really loud and noisy, so it was hard to hear folks. Our server was nice, but fortunately for us he spoke loud enough for us to hear him despite all the loud music! Parking can be tough as it's in a residential area of DC with most of the parking being residential. So you might need to walk! Overall, I give this place a solid 3.5 stars - tasty food and pretty good service. Knocking down half a star for a somewhat subpar (loud/noisy) ambiance. I'd probably go back again, but for take out only.

The server was pretty nice so that was a plus he was working the bar, he also served us chips and salsa which the chips were very stale so I only really ate a little bit As for the food the appetizer was about 16$ for only 2 small pieces as seen in the photo, was honestly disappointed. The burrito wasn't too bad but the salad with the burrito just seemed like they didn't know what else to put so they just put something random on it. The pina coloda was 10$ and it wasn't blended unfortunately. Though I should've requested that so I'm unsure if that's an option A bit disappointing was hoping this place would be good. Has potential though.
