    ONO? O-YES! It's slow livin on the island of Hawaii, but Ono Hawaiian BBQ is fast food island-style. You won't see workers dressed in grass skirts and coconuts; that would be a safety hazard and numerous lawsuits waiting to happen. However, the food does not disappoint as it is always fresh and flavorful. I appreciate that it is not the typical burger and fries joint. Yet the food can be enjoyed by all. Definitely a place that is good for families because they have items like Teriyaki Chicken, Crispy Shrimp and Pork Katsu that are all crowd-pleasers. Salad with the Sesame Ginger dressing is so simple yet refreshing. If you haven't had the macaroni salad, then you are missing out because it is a staple on the island and it is done right here on the mainland. This place even has a drive thru. Order ahead online and pick up so you don't have to drag the family out of the car. Unlike Yoko Ono, Ono Hawaiian BBQ makes you want to come back for more. Ono lives up to it's Hawaiian meaning, '"delicious, tasty, savory; to relish, crave; deliciousness, flavor, savor' Ono will have you saying 'Oh Yes!'

    If you're looking for a solid Hawaiian comfort food fix, Ono Hawaiian BBQ really delivers! I got the BBQ Chicken plate, and everything hit just right! The chicken was tender, juicy, and had that delicious smoky-charred flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet-savory sauce. The rice was sticky and fluffy--just how I like it--and I added some extra sauce on top (always add extra sauce) for that flavor boost. And the mac salad? Creamy, cool, and super satisfying (who knew that Mac salad would go with this). It balanced the plate beautifully. Generous portions, fast service, and consistently good food. Whether you're new to Hawaiian BBQ or it's your go-to, Ono always brings that aloha flavor, and it's always on point. 100%. Highly recommend if you're craving something hearty, tasty, and quick! Will definitely be back for another plate soon! Mahalo, Ono Hawaiian!

    My bf and I came here yesterday for lunch. I had the chicken and beef combo which came with the macaroni salad, rice, and veggies. Sooo good! My bf had the katsu plate with beef, rice, and veggies. He tore it up. The service was nice but didn't call out our order and just had our food sitting for a minute but it was still delicious. Nice sized portions and yummy. I'll be back.

    Who doesn't like a good plate lunch?? We ordered takeout from Ono before and really like how they cook their chicken and kalbi! We had recently come by for pick up from over the weekend and placed it. We did have to wait an additional 10 minutes for our pick-up, but the wait wasn't too bad, and they were very busy. The mac salad is fairly decent, but the chicken is so good. Either way, this location seems to have become more busy, so prepare for that

    Ono Hawaiian BBQ Celebrates its 98th Store with the Opening of its Newest Ground-Up Location in Gilbert, AZ The food & service was top notch! Atmosphere was clean, opening & bright. Greeted by two sweet staff members right as I walked in. Served with a smile & great conversations while I waited for my meal. Took it as a "to go" order. There were a few diners inside the restaurant & noticed the drive thru was packed. Had the Island Fire Chicken which is chicken slices marinated in their special blend of spices, then grilled with onions and tossed with their spicy Island Fire Sauce. It was fire LOL. Included with this meal is two generous scoops of white rice a delicious macaroni salad and choice of a side-which I went the Crab Rangoon (3 pcs) Faux crab meat and cream cheese in crispy wonton skins. They were good especially with their signature dipping sauce. Side counter has plenary or options for the grabbing! Ono's teriyaki & Katsu sauces, soy sauce, sriracha and more! Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a family-owned. Love to support these types or business. Will definitely be back!

    Love the taste of the meats the cabbage was soft but still had crunch and the rice was.....well plain white rice nothing ooooh aaaaah about that. There was flavor in the meat and I can eat the beef everyday!! Large portion to satisfy the craving now and leftovers later. Definitely will eat here again. Staff was also very friendly, quick and accurate. Great customer service.

    Reminds me of an elevated L&L. I pretty much only want to get Chicken Katsu because I can never…read morereplicate it from a restaurant. When I tried this place, we got a mini katsu and a plate. We were able to replace the sides with more rice at no extra charge for the plate which was really nice. Honestly, it was way too much rice, so next time I'd just omit the sides altogether if I was to reorder this. The mini katsu was more than enough as well. Each piece was perfectly crispy. I loved the steamed veggies. They were unseasoned and balanced out the katsu very well. Worth the price (which was very accurate to the meal and the quality).

    I'm giving this place a 4.2/5. It's pretty good for a Hawaiian BBQ spot…read more I got the Teriyaki chicken regular plate with all rice. The chicken was really good and cooked pretty much perfectly. It doesn't have that "char" to it that Hawaiian's cook it like (if you know, you know), but it was cooked almost perfectly imo. The rice wasn't a true Hawaiian sticky rice, but close enough. It almost had more of an Asian texture to it. But it was still good. There was a lot of food, of which I'd expect from a Hawaiian spot. The teriyaki sauce was pretty tasty. It wasn't the best teriyaki sauce I've ever had, but it's a lot better than Ono's Hawaiian BBQ (their chicken teriyaki is trash!). The service was good and fast! The inside was clean and tidy. Was it the best I've ever had? No. But it's good enough to share it with my friends, invite them to go, and go back myself. I'll need to try the chicken katsu and bbq short ribs next time.

    If you're craving the buttery, garlic shrimp from Hawaii, this place is pretty legit!!! I love L&L…read morebut I wanted to support a mom & pop shop and found this place. They also gave garlic chicken that tastes like mochiko chicken , guava cake and malasadas!!!! I tried their garlic shrimp and it was AMAZING.

It's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, and I've probably passed it a gazillion times and never even noticed it was there. My friend had called the day before to see if there was anything gluten-free on the menu. They were so helpful when we showed up. They had remembered her call and could tell her exactly what was gluten free. This is a very casual order at the counter kind of place. The dining room is simple, but that's okay because the focus is on the yummy food. They have single plates and double plates on the menu. I got a plate that had kalbi and kalua pork. It was served with white rice, macaroni salad, and kimchi. It was amazing! The pork tasted Smoky and delicious, the kalbi beef had just the right amount of sweetness to it. The macaroni salad was also perfect. I got quite a bit of food for my money. I was able to make it into two meals because there was no way I was going to finish it in one sitting. I really like Hawaiian food, and this one is so much better than some of the chain restaurants. It's slightly more in price, but it's 100% worth it. We sat and talked for a couple hours at least. While we were sitting, there was a period when every table was taken. So it does seem like quite a few people know about this place and come. I highly recommend it!

    We recently tried Hawaiian BBQ Nishikawa Ramen and it instantly became one of our favorite ramen…read morespots in town. We ordered the Beef & Chicken BBQ Plate, Nishikawa Black Ramen, Curry Ramen, Chicken Katsu Curry, and a Musubi. Every single dish was fantastic. The flavors were rich, portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. One thing that really stood out was the customer service. The staff was incredibly friendly and even let me sample the Tonkotsu ramen broth after we ordered. After trying it, I honestly wish I had ordered that ramen--it was outstanding! The restaurant itself was also impressive. The dining area was open, clean, and inviting, making for a very comfortable experience. My only criticism would be the pork chashu. While it was tender, it was a bit plain and could use more seasoning or flavor to match the rest of the dishes, which were excellent. Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. Between the delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly staff, Hawaiian BBQ Nishikawa Ramen has definitely earned a spot on our regular restaurant rotation. Highly recommended!

    Small uncrowded restaurant. I stopped with family and ordered the BBQ Katsu chicken combo meal…read more The price was affordable and the portions were large making the meal a good value. The portion was too big to eat and there was enough left over for a full lunch the next day. I will certainly go back and recommend to others.
