What's the point of having a time be 9 o'clock and they decide to close 15 minutes early. I can already tell that the GM's aren't happy about that 15 minutes early. I get you're supposed to wrap up and clean up the kitchen and everything else, but that starts after 9 o'clock I remember working food service and having to stay past closing so I could do the end of the day tasks. That's what you sign up for if they don't want to do their job and they don't want to stay open for the hours maybe they should reassess Ther scheduled hours and it was on March 3rd at 849 read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - This was me after writing my review clearly says 9 PM as their closing, but I guess they decide their own hours - Hawaiian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The food was delicious and the quantity they gave us was enough for two more meals. Their panko food items were crispy. read more

Tristan (guy) upfront was extremely rude. The bare minimum should be "Hi. Picking up? Here you go" He did not even do that. Not a single word spoken out loud. If it was just a once off and a bad day it be like that but when people are smiling and being nice walking up don't be rude. read more

Another review mentioned how warm it was in here, and I have to agree. The music was also pretty loud that ruined the ambiance. This left me more adapt to visit a different location in the future. Always love Ono for a quick drink and macaroni salad. Usually a friendly service for a grab-and-go location, but keep the heat of the dining room in mind. read more

Terrible food. Chicken was pink...asked to get remade and it was still pink. Cook was frustrated about having to remake it and was talking crap in spanish to the guy who works up front. read more

Love coming to Ono for the Korean Kalbi (short ribs). Comes with macaroni and salad and it is just the best. Sometimes you just get cravings and this place hits the spot. read more

Service isn't the best. The young woman manager attitude ! Needs an adjustment. The food good. We will go to the other one. Much friendlier place. read more

This location is horrible at making musubi. The spam looks uncooked with the smallest dab of sauce on it!!! Ugh I'm so disappointed! No flavor except the saltiness of the spam. I was craving this so bad because I've had amazing experiences at other locations and I'm pregnant lol but I know now not to go to the one around the corner from my house for it. Please do better or hire cooks that actually try. read more

Fantastic white fish. The salad dressing is scrumptious! Tartar sauce not my fave. Disappointed you cannot add notes on GrubHub. We called to request all salad no rice- assured that would be done. Nope. Huge scoops of rice. Perfect delivery for travelers. Thank you! read more

My friend and I had lunch there and it has great macaroni salad the way I know it would be tasting just like in Hawaii the teriyaki chicken was fantastic read more

I was not a fan of the food here. Although the chicken is tasty, we literally ordered a plate which pictured chicken with rice and broccoli and got breaded chicken and rice with no vegetables at all. Extremely basic food. I could have very easily made that meal at home so I see no point in spending money on this meal. I will likely never go back unless I'm in a pinch. read more

The food was delivered quickly. The 2-Entree Aloha Plate was huge (I'm 200lbs and can eat my fair share), salad was fresh, rice was perfectly cooked and the sauce on the meats was tasty. I would choice this place hands down over Panda Express, but maybe that's just me. 5-Stars for what it is. We had the food delivered so I can't speak the qualities of the physical location, interior or employment. read more

The food is awesome!! On 3/13, Elijah who took our order on a scale of 1 to 10... I rate his service and hospitality a 12 !!! KUDOS to Elijah for his outstanding customer service skills!!! read more

What a crap show this store is. In conjunction with door dash. The idiots can't ever get an order correct. Three out of three times incomplete orders delivered of course every one blames each other. When I call the store some kid can't even get me a mgr cause there is not one. lol. Of course someone is in charge. How does a company cooperate with door dash or vise versa. It's a joke. So for 100 bucks we got 25.00 worth of food burnt chicken and an oh well from ono. That sure is not the island Ohana vibe. Fraud at its best read more

We used to live down the street from here and have always loved eating here. Everything is made fresh daily here. So since our move to NE Mesa we don't come as often we just happened to be over on this side of town and decided to come in and grab some dinner to take home. We got the pork and beef it came with salad and steamed rice. I loved the beef it was soft, in bite size pieces, tender and the sauce it was cooked in had just the right amount of kick to it. Now the pork had a nice evenly balance of smokey flavor to it but I wish it had been cooked in a sauce also. Anyways the customer service was great, they had a good system of working together well and the restaurant itself was all around clean I've never had a bad experience here. read more

I'm updating my review because it's been years. This location has been inconsistent with portion size. I usually share a plate with my daughter. Sometimes it's a ton of food, sometimes it's a couple pieces of chicken. We generally order the katsu (my daughters favorite) but sometimes we get the combo which includes teriyaki & katsu chicken. Comes with rice, Mac salad and steamed veggies. My husband always gets the kalbi. Sometimes the pieces are super small, barely any meat on it. The main reason I deducted a star was based on service. I always order online and they have a "dedicated line" for online orders. Great! No, not great. I'm always standing there looking like a damn idiot, not being helped. Seriously, why have a line for people who have paid and ordered ahead of time when I simply could just stand in the same line as people ordering? Then I get up to the counter and almost always the cashier seems to have an attitude. How do you have Hawaiian in the name of your business but show zero aloha spirit? Maybe learn something about the culture in HI and put a smile on your faces! read more

ordered bbq and katsu take out, came home and no sauce with meal. not even teriyaki sauce. I basically got dry meat and dry rice. awful food and service! read more

This is the worst Hawaiian food I've ever had. I could have purchased the terriyaki chicken and beef from Panda Express for less and I would have had bigger portions for $3.00 less. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and beef plate. Small portions with cabbage under the meat to make it look like you got more. Way too dry and salty. Horrible waste of money. Go to Hapa, Moku, Big Islsnd, or L&L. Pass on Ono. The only thing that looks decent is their Katsu chicken. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Worst plate lunch ever.....Teriyaki Chicken/BBQ Beef - Hawaiian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I ordered takeout from this store about 5-6 times. I was sick and took time off to rest at home. Without any nutrition I was hungry today and purchased their food again and was very shocked after receiving it! The small amount of nut bone is not even 40% of the previous normal standard. To me, this is cheating! And you deceived a patient. It is shameful to deceive! I think there is something wrong with the management of this store. Several times before, I have clearly felt that the reduced quantity has inadvertently made me sick. During this period, the reduced quantity is unforgivable! It is recommended not to go to this store, maybe other branches are better! read more

Ambiance SUCKS BCUZ IT'S HOT! The people working there are fabulous. I can't BELIEVE the company isn't taking care of the AIR CONDITIONING IN ARIZONA!!! FOR OVER A YEAR!! That's the last time I was here. That's a health issue so that's CRAZY to me. That alone...I'll not coming back. What company has its employees work hard in a HOT HOT kitchen in freaking ARIZONA. We had to leave..too hot! Sorry your owners don't really care for you hard working employees! Talk about one-sided dedication...geez read more

Stopped by here for a quick bite - got a mini meal of BBQ chicken & double Mac salad. Appreciated the opportunity to customize my choices ...no issues ordering. Food was great, portions were huge! Ate inside & enjoyed the fun vibe of the interior ... would eat here again read more

Love coming here and getting my little taste of a Hawaii! I usually get the teriyaki chicken and white fish. That comes with steamed vegetables, rice and macaroni salad. Yummy! The cashier today was very nice and helpful. Inside the restaurant on the side area is the teriyaki sauce counter, cups and utensils. I used the teriyaki station and the pump was stuck. I asked a staff member to assist me. She was so nice. She took the pump in back and washed it all out and got it unstuck. That was so nice of her. read more

Best Hawaiian Barbecue in this area. The food is delicious and I would recommend the Spam Musubi. It isn't the cheapest but I would definitely recommend. read more

Food is great! As far as service goes they need more of a professional and organized staff. Hector failed to deliver invoice on time causing major delay on food ordered almost 30 minutes after it was placed. read more

I went to have a bite to eat and immediately got a refund once I went to get some condiments and this fella was on the floor in front of them and the drinks. The manager wasn't even there when this happened and an employee had to call for help on my refund. The employees didn't even know the mouse was there until I told them. Sadly no one even bothered to remove it as other consumers saw it too. I called corporate headquarters as this is a food, health, and safety concern and sent them these pictures too. I don't usually leave reviews, but no one should experience this buying food. I pray no one ends up sick and the health department investigates. I would give zero stars if I could. I posted photos on google reviews. read more

They double charged me $43.83 and refused to refund my money, don't order online or at all!

We got the Aloha plate to go and to be frank, I think the price is very reasonable for a portion like this with so many options of food and extra veggies and white rice. To me a plate like this is always a go-for. The Fire Chicken tastes amazing and I mean it, amazing! I love how they marinated these small pieces of chicken first to make them so rich with sauces. It's very Asian kind of subtle salty&sweet taste plus a bit of spice to it. That triple layers of taste is nothing but miraculous! Two bites and Honolulu is calling me! (I assume this is authentic since I haven't been to Hawaii before LOL) Fried fish is stardard-wise good for how beautiful it looks. I mean just look at this fine square piece of fish meat....Mmmm I think my relative Uncle Roger is going to "Fuyoo" this a lot! I really had a good experience in food being served at this place and I like the environment in this small neat place too. Love that they offer a self-service counter for as many sauces as you want to have. It's very friendly for to-go orders. I would totally recommend this place to you for a try, at least for the same food I got. 这是我吃过最接近我们东亚人口味的菜了。我点的这份两菜一份也就十四块多一点，在我看来这个价格比起同价位的其他店面质量要好不少。有饭有菜跟我们平时吃的盒饭真的差不多了。鸡肉一定要点我这个Fire Chicken的，味道真的很东亚，小甜小咸又有辣的口感，这才是好吃的菜才应该有的味道嘛！（有时候很不习惯美国菜要不是太甜就是太咸，不懂得中和一下口味）炸鱼排口感也很好，给的蔬菜是生的沙拉但是搭配起来吃也没什么问题。大家如果在附近找不到比较好的中餐的话我会推荐大家来尝尝这个。一定要点Aloha套餐的pick two，这样能尝到的菜也多样一点而且也实惠。我点的打包带走但是你也可以在里面吃，因为室内就餐环境也是很不错的。总的来说值得推荐！ read more

Good food. Not very good service. And make sure you order before you go in or you will be waiting a while. Well, even if you order before you still might be waiting when you get there. Good food though read more

The other reviews on here are silly! This place is definitely amazing. You can get sit down restaurant quality food within a few minutes for a range of $8 to $12 a dish. Highly recommend the Kalbi, island fire chicken, Chicken / Shrimp Katsu They recently remodeled the restaurant so it looks really hip and modern now. I would say that this location looks busy at most times of the day. We got our freshly cooked food within a few minutes of waiting. The dishes were loaded loaded rice, meat, and vegetables. The dish I had could feed two... Come hungry and you wont be disappointed! read more

MUST COME!!! This place is SO GOOD!! The decorations are very nice inside. The restaurant is very clean and the bathroom is clean. The customer service was phenomenal! They were explaining the menus well and were very patient with us even though they were busy. Kalbi Short Ribs: I LOVE THIS DISH! This one is my favorite! It is cooked perfectly and sauced very well. There are vegetables under the short ribs. The rice is soo tasty! I cannot think of a way to improve on this because it is so perfect! Chicken Katsu: This is perfect for crispy chicken lovers because you will not be disappointed!! We wish we got more!! We brought the extra food back home and it was still amazing! We put the Chicken Katsu in the toaster to heat it up! We will definitely be back! There were many restaurants in the area, but we are sooo happy we decided to come here! We wish they had more locations! read more

Food is always good here but the staff are also amazing. on June 15th some crazy guy came in while we were eating and got upset and threw his whole order at the kitchen staff. All the boys stayed very calm, walked away and handled the situation very well. did not deserve that at all especially working on Father's Day when they could be home with their family! read more

Love their food! Very good, nice service also. My order is always correct. Nice place to sit, looks like a surfing shack. LOL

A poor excuse for Hawaiian food, unless you're desperate. Service was slow. Facility was clean.

Every time I come to this place the food has never failed me. I always get the teriyaki chicken plate which brings a big variety of delicious food. As of today, I have gotten out of my comfort zone and decided to try a new plate called the beef and chicken combo. I would make this plate equivalent to my usual. It brought a big variety of tasty food with a large fountain drink. Now the only downside I would have to say about this location is they have everything set out for you to grab whatever you need except for napkins. Alongside with not so sanitary bathrooms. The customer service was good and was greeted in a positive matter. read more

This is some goooood food. Teriyaki Chicken? Chicken Katsu? Rice and Maceroni Salad with Cabbage? You don't have to say anymore we are here for it. This location is clean and maintains its "newness" it's frequented enough to stay in good business but not so crowded that it gets run down. The crew is freindly and service is prompt even when there is a line or it seems crowded. Me and my family have always enjoyed good food and service at this location. read more

I hate leaving a negative review, but this place has gone down hill over the last couple of years. The service, quality and quantity is all declining. I ate there last night and woke up with food poisoning. Checked the Maricopa county website for restaurant inspections and noticed they recently had 8 major violations! I unfortunately will not be returning to this location. read more
