    Kalbi Short Ribs
    Lissa L.

    The yellow and blue interiors evoke images of the sea. Very cutesy and inviting. The decor is minimal but useful. The staff is friendly and the food is great. We got 2 kalbi short ribs and 1 garlic white fish for $54. Not bad! In this economy, that's amazing value for money.

    Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Plate, $11.99 prior to tax
    Vic C.

    This Ono Hawaiian BBQ eatery is located in the same plaza at Barnes & Noble and Victoria Secrets. They are on the opposite side and much closer to Sam's Club. My husband and I made online orders to pick up our meals this past Monday. My husband made his own order and I ordered the following for both my mother and I to share: Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Plate, $11.99 prior to tax- I figured my mom would prefer a grilled version of chicken, so I ordered this with her in mind. This entree comes with a large portion of chicken, three scoops of steamed white rice and a side of salad that is mostly shredded cabbage, carrots, purple onion and lettuce. Both my mom and I really liked the chicken and so did my husband (since he ordered a plate too). The salad was nice and hearty. I liked the flavor of it and prefer a green salad to be made with cabbage so that is can last for another day. Chicken Katsu Plate, $11.99 prior to tax- I ordered this for myself, which came with a lot of chicken. It also came with three scoops of steamed white rice and salad. If you want Katsu sauce or teriyaki sauce, you can fill up the plastic cups with them by the pick up area. I thought the chicken was pretty good. My mom also likes the chicken. The white rice for both this plate and the other one was cooked perfectly. --------------------------- (Total= $26.44 after tax) Our meals were ready when we came in. But we did wait a minute or two since the employee at the register, had her back towards us since she was looking at the kitchen. I think she may have been waiting for an order to be completed so she could pack it. The portion of food is quite a lot, which really surprised me. With these two plates, it could easily serve 3- 4 people (and yes we had leftovers). I have definitely underestimated Ono Hawaiian BBQ and would definitely consider ordering from them again in the future.

    My go-to late night 'snack,' stop. Due to the cold season, I'd like to munch on their Spam Musubi. Food: 5/5 delish....it's spam, who doesn't like spam? Lol cuz I do!!!! Service: 5/5 always friendly and helpful. Ambiance: 5/5 super cute overall decorated with Ono related art.... Parking is extremely convenient from free plaza parking. I'll be back again soon.

    Ono Hawaiian BBQ has Perfectly delicious Hawaiin plate  menu. The quantity is always huge and the taste is exceptional! I ordered the Island White Aloha plate and the Crispy Shrimp Aloha plate. Both of them were scrumptious and appetizing, and their sauce will add a nice kick to the flavor. I also orderd their crispy Crab Rangoon which is one of my favorite there. The place is always clean. It is busy with customers whenever you go , In addition to numerous pickup orders. The service is always fast despite their busyness. It is really a nice place to stop at and enjoy the savory food, fast and friendly service plus the affordable price.

    My katsu chicken. Really dry & kind of hard!
    Jenn R.

    Last time I went the meal was excellent and it was bbq chx version of Ono Keikei meal. This time, not so good. Ordered Katsu instead. OMG! Dry and nasty as heck!! Do NOT order the Katsu from here! Bleah! It was also the most miniscule serving of rice ever. I know it's a kids meal but there was a big space in the box. They could have easily given a bit more rice. The young woman at the counter was nice enough but management needs to clue their teams in about offers. She did not know about the online meal offer. This is why I got the KeiKei meal. No clear info on the $7 meal offer.

    Seeing what Fresh Young Coconut is all about
    Monica M.

    We always seem to get out of the house in that weird time of day between lunch and dinner. Too late and yet too early to eat something but - so musubi has become our go to snack when out and about. Ever the foodie my daughter chose a young coconut as her drink...and it was good, refreshing, and somewhere between savory and lightly sweet -- enough to hydrate and refresh at the same time. Service was prompt and the restaurant was tidy and clean. The musubi didn't disappoint- the rice was fresh, fluffy, and sticky; the spam was perfectly savory with slightly crispy edges. *chefs kiss*.

    Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Mini Meal
    Jon R.

    Hadn't been in a while, went in and the ladies at the counter were friendly and inviting wasn't too busy, food came out at a decent pace. The chicken katsu was good and the bbq chicken was tender. The beef was alright just a little stringy. Sauces tasted great, and the hot sauce was good. We came in because of a handed out coupon for a bowl / mini meal

    These two ribs were hidden underneath the 3rd good rib with meat. Look at how much fat to meat portion.
    Jennie W.

    If I could only put zero stars, then I would. It's funny how whoever prepared the food put half a scoop of each rice, half scoop of macaroni salad. And the meat that was served was half fat. It is not edible. And I would like to know which ever cook cooked this if they would feed that to their family or kids? Would they eat that? Also, the fact that I know the front cashier is supposed to double check the food I'm surprised they didn't notice how skimpy they scooped the rice and the macaroni salad. I've been coming here for a long time and every single time I order the ribs, they never get it right it's either too burned or too fatty. I'm pretty sure it's not about throwing away food, but they need to start bringing it up to upper management or something because that's not right serving the customers this. I cannot comment about the ambience since I did not eat, and it was a to go order.

    Nice, clean and large location. Employees are very friendly and helpful and the real reason why I was her was the food. The food is soooo good and fresh. No matter what you order, as each dish will definitely leave you craving a second serving IF the first serving didn't fill you up which is rare.

    My order said no rice mac salad on one veges ok. $38 for not reading comments!!! Shame on you Ono!!!

    As a fast food chain my expectations were low. I was very hungry, far from home and didn't want to spend a lot of money at a steakhouse or expensive restaurant. This day I think my iron was low because I was I was strongly craving beef but not a burger or anything like that. I decided to check Ono Hawaiian out since they claimed to have short ribs. 9.5 out of 10 only because they were tough close to the bone. But for the most part they were tender, flavorful, and a decent portion at a decent price. For 15 bucks I got a full dinner meal of short ribs, steamed cabbage, rice and macaroni salad that was freshly made. I was pleasantly surprised. I was really impressed with the macaroni salad because most chains serve premade when it comes to cole slaw or macaroni salad and has a bitter tattle and mushy texture. This was close to my mom and grand moms Mac salad. It was clean and plenty of seating and my order was hot and ready by the time I came from washing my hands. I will certainly order again.

A bit dry in certain pieces. The tray also comes with pickles, pickled onions, and slider rolls. I end up making a couple of brisket slider and they were great. They do offer ordering the meats by the pounds and you can order their sides in different sizes containers. Overall, great place for BBQ if you're in the area.

First off, I totally recommend the Canyon City Sampler if you can't decide what to get. It can easily feed 2-3 people (I'd say 3, but 2 if you both eat a lot). Here are my thoughts on the individual meats and sides: Pork Rib - WOW. It's so tender and fall-off-the-bone. Nice BBQ flavor and just so good. (5/5) BBQ Chicken - Tasty with a nice bite and tons of flavor. I added some extra BBQ sauce to make it even better. (4.5/5) Beef Brisket - Cooked really well with a great texture. Soft and easy to eat. (4.5/5) Pulled Pork - Very good, but my least favorite of the meats. A bit drier than the rest. (4/5) Cornbread - Tasty and served with flavored butter. It's not the moistest cornbread I've had, but it's still super good. Recommended! (4.5/5) Mash & Gravy - A classic done well. The gravy has a strong flavor and is made from the brisket drippings. Tasty. (4.5/5) This place is a total hidden gem tucked away in a random corner. They serve really good BBQ at what I'd consider a reasonable price. Parking - They have a small lot for 3-4 cars, but there's plenty of street parking.

Not very friendly and not really acknowledging the people that were standing waiting to be seated. Finally got a table, gave us menus and then 15 minutes go by and they haven't taken our order for drinks. As I look around there were 4 tables that had been seated, as well and no drink orders. We all waited about the same amount of time to get our drink orders. This unfortunately is why i took off 2 stars. To me, this unacceptable. After being seated and food came out, no one checked in until I needed a box and to pay. Did not feel welcomed and /or appreciated that I was supporting a small local business. Food- Brisket without the BBQ didn't have enough flavor. These types of meat don't need a hype man- the BBQ sauce. They need to be good on their own. Buuut Meat was tender. I read that their sausage is not great it's quite dry so I skipped it, my son had ordered ribs so I was going to steal from him, so I decided to get chicken- dark meat options. Chicken was very tasty, juicy and tender. It was the star of the dinner plate!!! Whaat!!! Their coleslaw- loved how everything was chopped nice and consistent- loved the Julienned green apples- again missing seasoning. DINNER ROLLS- Soooo fucken dry and not warmed up. I expect that level of hardness on my rolls when they are about to expire. Warm them up put them in a basket and give me butter. Such a small - perhaps minute action- but it was a huge miss. Other patrons were also commenting how bad the rolls were. We even joked, "death by dinner roll! " LOL. Cornbread- small portion but packed with flavor. I would say ease up on the Honey. I want to taste the corn bread too. It's unfortunate, I didn't have the experience others have had. Most likely not going to add it to my new restaurant rotation. There are other better options with better customer service.

The ribs were soft and tender, but again too salty. The chicken was good but kind of small. The coleslaw was on the vinegary side, which I did see other reviewers mention but I wasn't expecting this. It didn't taste like slaw anymore, more like a tangy cabbage salad. The potato salad was good the first few bites then it become overwhelming bc it's heavy in the mustard.
