    Hawaiian BBQ Mix
    Willy T.

    I think this is a pretty solid spot. I came here on a Friday night a week or two after they first opened and it was packed. People having trouble ordering caused a bit of a backup. I ordered a Hawaiian BBQ mix. The food came in just around 10 minutes. They have pumps for teriyaki and katsu suace. Napkins are given with the trays so if you are eating in you can't clean the table you claim until your food arrives. The meat itself was very tender. I like the mac salad a ton and wish that portion was bigger. The veggies in this order is mostly cabbage and a few pieces of broccoli. They don't overload on the rice which I appreciate.

    Nice Design. Hawaiian barbecue goodness. The environment was nice and the establishment was nice and tidy.

    What a classic experience. I haven't been here in a long time and both the food and service remain consistent throughout all of their branches. They answer your questions, tell you about the different items. When asked they go into detail and help you customize your plate for your liking. If you have a good appetite and ready to chow down, this is definitely some good comfort food. This branch had some different design elements that I haven't seen in other places before. Most of us know what the food looks like so I thought I would throw that picture up here just for some fun.

    Let me start by saying I enjoy Ono Hawaiian BBQ and their food. I have them in Los Angeles all the time so when I saw they opened one in my hometown of Lancaster I was very happy. Although, the two times I've been here they've shown an incompetence in management. The team here does not care about service and they all have attitudes. I'm one to always be compassionate and considerate even during long wait times anywhere, I'll never rush the service teams but this place has an attitude stemming from management. The first time I tried this Ono in Lancaster I asked the lady if I could have a minute to look at the menu. She gave me an "uhh" then when I said hello she didn't answer. I thought maybe she didn't hear me so I said I was ready. Nope, nothing. Then I even pulled out of the drive thru thinking it was the sensor that didn't detect I was there anymore like some drive thrus have. I pulled out and went to the left lane. Nothing. No response. Another car pulled up and they answered immediately. So I pulled up to the window and she looked annoyed and gave me an attitude. She said they don't take orders through the window but she told me while giving another "uhhh." This time today, the manager took our order. Worst attitude ever! I even asked how she's doing and she gave an attitude and asked me to pay. I figured she's having a bad day and I understood. She messed up my entire order. Gave me someone else's order entirely. I didn't realize until I got to the other side of the city! Almost 20 minutes away. I came back in and she gave her coworker a look like she knew what I was about to say. She gave me attitude and asked what I wanted. I told her she messed up my order and she immediately knew which one. She grabbed the bag from the back which had our correct order and she refunded my card then said she had to charge me for the correct food. I asked for a discount or anything since she made me drive back across the city. Without hesitation she said no and asked me to tap my card. I gave up, she was just disgusting. My brother was hungry so we just let it be. We noticed the food was cold and asked if they could heat it up. She said no but they could remake it then said it would take 30 minutes because it's backed up. She just kept making it difficult with the attitude. I'm always nice to any service team but the manager here is unprofessional, inconsiderate, and loves to waste people's time. Maybe she gets a thrill out of it, who knows at this point. Food was cold but good.

    Who could go wrong with Hawaiian BBQ! I had to stop by the other day because I was craving it! The bbq mix is my all time favorite when eating at any Hawaiian bbq spot and this place definitely did not disappoint! The meat was very flavorful and juicy and the rice and macaroni salad was fire Of course I had to get some spam musubi as well! Delicious! I also order a plate of chicken katsu, because why not?!? Everything was great! This is going to be my new Hawaiian bbq spot for sure!

    The beef plate with a combo salad. Also we for the Spam Musubi (2 pcs) and the chicken plate.

    There was so much food!! The service was quick and friendly. The food was decent, better than a fast food restaurant The area around the restaurant was clean and well-lit making it safe.

    Grand Opening Day - Interior
    Amy L.

    It's been long coming, but it is finally here -- the grand opening of Ono Hawaiian BBQ! The building itself is squeaky brand new and this location has a drive-through (very convenient). Once you walk in, you can tell the inside is very modern from the furniture. They also have plentiful of inside and outside sitting so they have options on how you want to enjoy your food. :D I got your standard Hawaiian BBQ, and it was delicious. Since I came on grand opening, they had a BOGO so I got 2 orders of the Hawaiian BBQ. What a steal.

    Bogo so awesome
    Berenis S.

    Great service and what a gem to finally have here in the AV. I love Ono and I'm so happy they are finally here. Congratulations to Ono for your grand opening. Today it was awesome because they have a bogo special going on and let me tell you it was worth the wait. I ordered the Hawaiian bbq mix and two kids meals. The flavor is very good and can't go wrong with the Mac salad. The employees are so nice and so kind. Overall it's beautiful in here. Can't wait to come back.

    Favorite place to eat but they're needing to be a little nicer to their customers. I will be back but may use drive through next time

All communication stopped when they asked me for a receipt number and I'd let them know that it likely had been thrown away but they had cameras they could check that possibly had a time stamp (given it was about 11:30 that day, info they already had, they could just use that info too). Management reached out for information rather than provide an explanation or solution. Over 5 emails were sent back and forth for really no reason. The point we reached was based on a weak effort towards customer engagement. Food was mediocre at best but given the experience I will not be coming back.

Out of the blue these fine people contacted me and asked if they could provide a meal at no cost for our crew. To say I was choked up is an understatement. It was such a moral boost for everyone!

I really like that the store has such a wide variety of merchandise, treats, and food. They carry everything from local honey and candy to turkey burgers and more unusual meats like alligator, venison, elk, and frog legs if you're brave enough to try them. They also have a lot of nostalgic items that you may recognize from childhood, which makes it a bittersweet but fun place to walk through. It's definitely a great spot if you want to take a little trip down memory lane. I usually like to stop by to buy candy or order some garlic fries. There's so much to look at that you could easily spend over an hour browsing while waiting for your food.

First of all... it's truly in the middle of nowhere, which somehow makes it even better. You pull up not knowing what to expect, and then suddenly it's everything.

There's also endless candy, nostalgic sodas, funnel cake, and Dole soft serve in just about every flavor you could want. But what really stands out is the selection of nostalgic toys, collector's items, and rare finds -- it's honestly mind-blowing. You can spend a lot of time just browsing and still not see everything. I always leave with more than I planned (in the best way), and it's become a must-stop every time we're passing through. And the date shake? Easily one of the best I've ever had. Inside, there's a café if you're in the mood for BBQ, plus a whole section of vintage toys and random collector finds that you didn't know you needed until you see them. It's the kind of place where you always leave with more than you planned -- in the best way. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, which just adds to the charm. This place never disappoints -- it's become a must-stop every time we're passing through.

The one star and not recommended reviews are right!…read moreNow granted, I am hormonal and 6mo pregnant so I make an effort to go with grace into potentially upsetting situations and at the end of the day grubhub refunded us and bad experiences just happen from time to time. But hell all the damn way to the MF nah, can I not warn people away from this place...they double charged us $140 for an incomplete and inedible order that took almost two hours to get. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EAT HERE, YOU ARE BETTER OFF AT A GAS STATION. Save your money. Options to consider instead: -A Costco hot dog ($1.50 w/ a drink vs $71 no drink) -Develop the ability to photosynthesize. -A well preserved cigarette on the sidewalk. -Gift a meal from this place to an enemy. I know the wait I'm in for with soulfood and I don't mind paying what's asked. I could go in about how I placed my order at 4:45 and did not walk out with my food until 6:30 because there was only one cook with mask hanging down, or how my order was still so incomplete that I was chased down to be handed lukewarm green beans and when I got home not one order had cornbread, or how the jambalaya was just tomato marinara weirdness and everything was blander than that Taylor Swift cover of Earth Wind & Fire, or how I saw store bought pies in their tins thrown on the stove. But what really matters is that I feel the need to at least got to the BBB site because this establishment is either disorganized to the point of reckless billing or just straight up thieving money. They should be ashamed to represent our community in ANY professional capacity. I selected the option to pay in cash through the app, but I didn't know it charged our cc from the grubhub account immediately. So when I arrived, I went to pay and the man pulled up my order and read it off exactly. Had to change the order because they were out of what I selected in app, so with the total change, I pay $70+ with a $100 and he's short change and promises to give me my $4 later. Wasn't a problem...until it was 6:00 and I still have no food or change and the man asks ME what one of the meals I ordered was. Um sir? Is it not on the ticket??? All that was on the 11th. Cut to today, theres a grubhub charge posted as of the 13th. I figured yelp glitched with grubhub somehow, because I selected cash and had to pay when went so I called grubhub. Grubhub refunded me immediately because it turns out even though I selected cash it charged my cc immediately and came through to the restaurant as PAID. This man went through my whole order and everything on a PAID TICKET and let me hand over cash. I even asked grubhub if the order would have come to them paid because of my selecting cash and she said YES, IT STILL WOULD HAVE SHOWN PAID. $140?! And I didn't even get the cornbread?!?! Never in my whole black like have I experienced blasphemy to this extent. What are yall a bank? I was so hot by the time I left I didn't even remember my $4. That's a dollar away from $5! It's a pandemic, people getting thrown to the streets and yall wanna scam people?! The desperation. Don't have a business you can't afford to manage properly, honestly. it was a hard day, my pregnant self was laying concrete and I just wanted to treat my family to some good food. I was so emotional about this at first I didnt want to post in anger. But today having to be refunded after finding out they knew I already paid was it. No one has time for these kind of shenanigans.
