    Hawaiian comfort food... no frills and ALL flavor!! I got the mixed plate, a glorious meat assortment featuring short ribs, beef, and chicken upgraded to white meat bc I'm picky like that. Everything was so good!! No complaints, except that I didn't order two plates. Service was faster than spam musubi disappearing at a potluck. Staff could maybe be more generous in giving out smiles. Parking is a game of the Hunger Games: Parking Edition.... may the odds be ever in your favor!! Aside from the horrible parking situation, I'd definitely recommend!!

    Chicken Katsu

    I came here for a quick lunch and the chicken katsu meal, hit the spot. The service was quick and efficient. Seating is limited which works best with small quick meals.

    All the rice in this pic was all I got in my plate while the other plates had massive two scoops

    Our go to whenever we are in the area! Their prices are still decent and they absolutely pack your plates which definitely makes it worth it. This is definitely my favorite on low carb days as I'll get a mixed plate with all veggies, always tasty, hot and fresh!

    Mix seafood plate

    I love Ono Hawaiian bbq! The food is great! I enjoy multiple dishes from there. My to go plates are the chicken Katsu and the fried seafood mix plate. The Mac salad is always good and I always have to order some spam musubi. The service is good most cashiers are polite. The ambiance is good music is just about right... Just wish the prices were a little bit lower. Still worth it though.

    Family meal for mom and dad to get their grub on

    We order from here quite often and they consistently give good service and ono grindz. We typically get the family meal with 3 entrees and rice, Mac salad and veggies for just below $60 to feed 4. Plenty of food and usually some lefties. Prices seem a little bit high but everything's gone up since Covid.

    Island White Fish

    Ordered the Ohana meal online and pick up time was in about 25 minutes, happy about that. This was the second time I've ordered this meal, and sadly it fell short. I ordered the chicken Katsu, white fish and the barbecue Hawaiian beef for my 3 proteins. The meal also comes with white rice, macaroni and veggies. Chicken Katsu, island white fish, rice and macaroni were all delicious. The veggies on the other hand, were disappointing. Nothing but cabbage and two broccoli florettes is what I was given. If I would've known, I would've removed the veggies and added more macaroni or rice , which was an option online. The Hawaiian barbecue beef had great flavor, but many chewy pieces. My first experience with the Ohana meal was a few years ago and was great. After this meal experience, I know what not to order in the future. Also, the island white fish description is very ambiguous. A description of what type of fish that is being served, would be very helpful online when ordering . After picking up the meal, I headed over to grab a couple of sauces, no option to add to your order online. I was given plenty forks and napkins, The meal says it feeds 3 to 4 people. I had plenty of leftovers and lots of cabbage! Hawaiian music is always enjoyable to hear playing here. Very limited parking, but a bigger parking lot is available across the way.

    This location is awesome ! Very friendly staff, and the interior is new and modern. Food portions are good and the quality is fresh. Great job Murrieta location!

    This is the picture i sent to DoorDash who delivered my food.
    hey h.

    I had ordered my food, everything was fine until midway through eating it i realized there was a maggot in my food. In complete shock i asked my husband who was also eating his own plate and he confirmed it was indeed a maggot. I'm so upset for two big reasons. #1 I'm pregnant so who tf wouldn't be upset and #2 Ono was truly one of my favorite spots. I'm still in shock I've tried calling the place multiple times but no answer. I don't know what to do.

    Always pleasant when ordering and no long wait . The parking is a little sparse but could be worse.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem in Menifee!…read more We were welcomed as soon as we walked in by our server, Micah who was amazing!! Very attentive, explained the menu, and gave solid recommendations. The restaurant is clean, spacious and clearly family‑owned, which gives it a warm, homey vibe. Mama's Kitchen is the real deal. It's not an all‑you‑can‑eat or cook‑your‑own type of spot. This is true Korean home cooking, made fresh by Mama herself in the kitchen. The name couldn't be more accurate. The menu offers a good variety of different dishes, which are big enough to share between 2 people. We ordered the Japchae and the Korean short ribs (Galbi), which came with steamed rice and five small plates of banchan. The dishes were the perfect amount for my mom and me to share. Everything was delicious. The Galbi was melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender, and the Japchae was seasoned just right with bulgogi and shiitake mushrooms. The banchans definitely hit the spot. I couldn't get enough of the fish cake, shredded daikon kimchi, and cucumber kimchi. The only thing I would suggest, is the size of their banchan! Their serving size were very small amounts. This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint. Mama even came out to check on us, welcomed us personally, and even took a picture with my Mama!! Overall I was quite pleased with our food, even my pickiest critic, my mom, gave it her official Mom's Stamp of Approval, so we'll definitely be back.

Katsu was listed as "giant" which was anything but that. It was large but super thin, almost felt like complaining. The mackerel was the star dish and grilled to absolute perfection and juicy, highly recommend. The rest of the dishes were pretty much just ok. A decent stop but the rating here appears too high IMHO

I wasn't aware during my visit that I was caught in the crossfire. Everything at this location tastes nasty. Let's just say Mr. Tendernism vouched for this place before his termination; well, that says a lot about his overall judgment on food. 100% forget anything about Mr. Tendernism and his sad story, because he clearly doesn't know anything about anything if he was guiding people this way. I remember an episode of the LATRYGUY also going to this destination, and even he vouched for this nonsense. Can't trust that fool either. The mac and cheese was some weird variation. The baked beans didn't really taste like baked beans. The meat was overly peppered. They for odd reasons, don't serve potato salad. Change that mac and cheese. Change your seasoning, or at least try. Include Potato Salad. And maybe your business will survive whatever it is going through. Sorry but facts.
