I generally like Ono's but will not be returning to this specific location. My interaction with the staff was fine and they were polite but the person literally had their finger in their mouth and was picking their teeth in front of me. Maybe it was absent minded behavior but I don't want that person handling my food. read more

I'm a regular at this Ono Hawaiian location and honestly, it's one of my reliable go-to spots. The place is usually clean, has plenty of seating and most of the staff are polite and welcoming. Yes, food can take a little longer when they're busy, but that just tells me it's being made fresh so it's understandable and not a dealbreaker for me. When it's not busy, food is served very quickly. My go-to order is the BBQ mini meal with rice, no veggies, and extra mac salad because their mac salad is so good. Can't forget extra teriyaki sauce on the side! When I'm in the mood for something crispy, I go for the fried shrimp with some katsu sauce for dipping... SO good, every single time. read more

My family's go-to spot for the fish plate. The fried fish is always freshly made, great portions with leafy salad that now comes with croutons. The teriyaki sauce and katsu sauce goes well with the rice. The 3 scoops of rice is too much for the meal but I bring it home and eat it with my other meals. Service is fine. Sometimes we need to ask for the tartar sauce if it's missing from our bag but overall it is fine. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Smaller than last time - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Was very satisfied with the Hawaiian chicken plate although i do think there are other Hawaiian bbq mom and pop restaurants that provide better quality food. Don't get me wrong this place is always consistent with the taste and quality but in my opinion a bit overpriced for the amount of food you get. Overall i give this 4 stars. Ambiance is like any other fast food chain restaurant. If i'm ordering from here, more than likely getting take out. read more

I ordered online- which I LOVE! But the best part is that the associate, Pablo, he was so nice and approachable. One downer is the smell - everytime I come and get my food it smells like restroom, no bueno. read more

What I Ordered: -Hawaiian BBQ Mix $16.49 3 Mac/1 Veg Beatrice was very helpful in giving me the rundown of what's popular here. I decided to go with the Hawaiian BBQ Mix with 3 sides of Macaroni Salad and 1 side of vegetables. I heard that you could substitute the rice for Macaroni Salad, and I was sold. In hindsight, I should have ordered one side of rice as it would have paired well with all the meat, but the Macaroni Salad was pretty good. I will definitely be back to get this order again, as it was very delicious. read more

Haven't eaten at Ono Hawaiian for a while, so decided to order online / delivery with a special promo code. I ordered 4 chicken katsu plates. Chicken was crispy. Mac salad was okay, slightly bland. There was one tiny piece of broccoli with the bed of cabbage. Cabbage used to have more flavor, but this time tasted like it was steamed / boiled with no flavoring. Only BIG negative was, the sauce containers were half the size of what they once were. I normally use 2 of the older larger containers of sauce per order, so getting this smaller one left me kind of disappointed. After eating a few pieces of chicken, I was out of sauce. (Sad Face)... Eating chicken katsu by itself is very oily and unpleasant for the stomach. The website also does not have a place to request extra sauces or make special requests. Would I order again? Sure! But definitely have to get a lot more sauces. Maybe, I'll call the restaurant to have them add extra sauces to my delivery order. Hope they don't charge for extra sauces though. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Hawaiian BBQ Beef & chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

First of all, the Service and quality of food is poor. If you don't preorder, you'll be there for at least 30 minutes. Second, my husband got food poisoning from their teriyaki beef. He took two bites, turned green and threw it all up! It doesn't get any better at their other locations either. I got sick at the city of industry location. The chicken katsu looked like it was microwaved from yesterday's leftovers, and I could not keep it down. read more

This is a great spot and close to home. Always greeted with a smile & may I add Great service! Never disappoints. Their food is delicious. I love everything there :) read more

We were in the mood for some Hawaiian BBQ and saw that Ono was close by and a place we have been wanting to give a try so we went there to see how it compares to other places. We were immediately surprised by the atmosphere of this restaurant it was nicer than we were expecting and a lot bigger too so it was easy to find seating. We ordered crab rangoons, beef musubi, and the island fire chicken which we got pretty quick while still being fresh. The rangoons and musubi were pretty good nothing too special but the island fire chicken was definitely the star of the show. The sauce and the spice in the chicken were a lot more tastier than I was expecting and I thought, compared to some other Hawaiian bbq places I've been, it seemed higher quality. With the great friendly service and the great food at a substantial quality I would recommend this place when the Hawaiian bbq craving hits! read more

This Ono's is in the plaza with the Daiso not to be mistaken with the other plaza with the chipotle and panda express. I ordered a chicken katsu plate with no rice (all mac salad) with a large soda and 3 crab rangoons. The chicken katsu plate is definitely enough for two meals. Some of the other island favorites like the bbq beef and chicken are good for 3 meals. Personally, I like doing all mac salad because I can make rice at home. As far as I know, they do not charge you money to substitute the rice for mac salad. The crab rangoons are okay. It's not bad but tastes like a typical crab rangoon. One thing I really wish they had here is sriracha. I feel like that would be way better than hot sauce on my meal. The teriyaki sauce and the katsu sauce is super good, I recommend taking lots of those little cups home. Would I go here again? Yeah 100%. Although, I would recommend the business to get a sriracha bottle on the side because the hot sauce is not that good. read more

Chicken plate and mix plate were good. Cooked well and plenty of flavor. Portions are big. Price seems fair for what you get. Place is clean. Plenty of seating.

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken Katsu - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I usually love ono Hawaiian bbq, this is the first time going to this location, the atmosphere was nice but unfortunately it was such a disappointment. I got a Hawaiian bbq mix plate and order of spam masubi which is my usual order at the other ONOs. I'll start with the rice that was the only good part of the food. The Mac salad and the meats had a gross after taste. The spam from my spam masubi was raw straight out the can. :,( the service was fast but I would rather it be slower and my food cooked right read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Uncooked Spam Musubi (2 pcs) - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Located at 2201-A South Atlantic Blvd.in Monterey Park California. Located in a busy area with other businesses around. Parking can be challenging depending on time of the day but people come and go frequently so I would still say it's not discouraging to come and get the food you're craving for. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Neutral restroom all the way to the back. Plenty of seating area. Lots of choices on the menu. Chicken, beef, pork and sea food. Island favorites menu section are combos and mixes . My chicken katsu and crab rangoon are both delicious. Hawaiian BBQ mix plate looks so good and will surely try next time. For now, I'm good with my chicken katsu. Be back soon. read more

There is a quality control problem at this Ono. Don't bother to customize your order at this Ono. I have never had this problem at the other branches but this location doesn't pay attention. Every time I ask for two scoops of mac salad, I ALWAYS get two scoops of rice. It would not be a big deal but it has happened during the last 4 times I've ordered here. Sometimes the protein is burnt to a char. I'd drive further down to one closer to East LA. read more

I love ono Hawaiian bbq but I picked up a kids teriyaki chicken meal, the chicken was rubbery and flimsy... like one grill mark And the spam Masubi was ok, it was barely grilled too. I called to let them know but no one answers the phone Ticket number 99... threw my receipt away on the way out ‍ Maybe it's just this location? Idk read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - The chicken was rubbery :( - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

We tried the Island White Fish Aloha Plate, which is on special for $5.00! For a limited time only. Comes with 3 pieces of fish, steamed rice and salad. I was honestly truly surprised at how good this Plate was! Really delicious! The battered fish almost reminded me of tempura, which was such a pleasant surprise. Comes with teriyaki sauce which was very good. (Note: JJ got the same Plate, but with tartar sauce, and he loved it!) Steamed rice was perfect, and the salad was good too. Interior of the store is very clean and orderly. Service was friendly and very quick. Truly a great value--- great food at a great price--- Highly recommended! read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Island White Fish Aloha Plate $5.00 on special! - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

As a fast food chain the general expectation is usually quality control and speed but here they were above and beyond. I was greeted by a super friendly worker that was more than happy to explain to me the menu and recommended the best value for my cravings. The foods were on point and I just love the macaroni salad they make. They even put effort into interior improvement to give you the Hawaiian feel. What really got me to give it a 5 star rating is actually the plastic bags at the sauce bar. They were conveniently placed and thoughtfully rolled so that we can easily put take the sauces to-go. Food did get a bit cold when I got home through all the traffic. It is a bit difficult to reheat with the salad in the same box as the meat and rice. Definitely recommend to consume while still hot/warm. read more

If you go here, don't make the mistake I did in not checking your order before leaving. Craved spam musubi. 2 pieces is one order and it's approx $7. I waited ten minutes and once I received it, had to rush back to an office meeting. When I parked I opened to check the order and, as you can see, I was given spam musubi without the spam. I wasn't sure if it was a super thin slice so I smashed it and lo and behold, literally nothing but rice, a thin strip of teriyaki sauce, and soggy seaweed. Again, I probably could've gotten a refund or a new spam musubi with spam had I seen this beforehand, but alas. In general, maybe this shouldn't be the standard practice of a restaurant lol. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Menu item no. 1 - Hawaiian BBQ Chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I must admit that my expectations weren't high as many of these "Hawaiian BBQ" places are just okay. I came here because of a Yelp Elite Event so for the sake of transparency, part of my meal was a promo. With that said, I had the chicken katsu plate and I ordered a bbq beef plate and a mini teriyaki chicken plate. Katsu was good and portions generous. The BBQ beef and the Teri Chicken get high marks for flavor. Mac salad was good and who doesn't love carrots and cabbage as a side. Restaurant is okay with seating in the front and rear. I was impressed and pricing is in the wheelhouse for a quick dinner when I don't feel like cooking. I'll be back. read more

How have I never been here before?! This is my new favorite Hawaiian bbq place in Monterey Park! Everything is cooked to perfection. I ordered their kalua pork and chicken katsu combo plate, and we ate it all up so quickly! The Kalua pork is so juicy and tender, it melts in your mouth! The katsu is crispy outside but juicy inside, and their katsu sauce is good. Costs about $15 for this combo plate, which is a pretty good price for the amount of food you get. I've always been a big fan of Hawaiian bbq, and his place makes me wanna come back for more. read more

On the first visit with my 3 co workers, we placed our orders in line and thought we beat the lunch rush since there was 10 customers behind us. However, 30 minutes has passed and our orders weren't still ready as well as noticed the people behind us were all gone before us. We asked them what's the status and found out they messed up on our order. On my second visit, I had to order from here since my co worker requested this food for their birthday luncheon. I decided to order it online doing 2 family meals with additions as well as take advantage of the 20% off promo for ordering online. So I decided to place the order online 7 days early since it allowed you to do that. I called the day before to confirm my order and they said yes they have received it. I came right at 11:00 am for pick up and the order was not ready at all. They said due to order being rejected they didn't start making the order and something to do with the point of sale system error. The employee should've called me and let me know before arriving, but never did. Also, I didn't get the email till later. The employee told me to pay in store and I told them to honor the price since it wasn't my fault. The employee tried to bring it down to the price, but was only able to bring it to $97.41 instead of $96.77. I told her just go ahead to charge me and give me two sodas for it. I reminded her to make sure they separate the beef, chicken, veggies, and rice since it was for a birthday party, however, once I got them it wasn't so I luckily brought my own pan foils ahead of time to separate it in case they mess up the order. Overall experience is terrible and unorganized for being twice at the same location, but the food was really good. I rather go elsewhere than to have to deal with bad service and long wait again. read more

They gave me the wrong order. I ordered the katsu and bbq combo, specifically said number 44. But we got the bbq mix instead. By the time we realized, we were already home (to-go). So disappointed, we really wanted the katsu! The price on the screen said 11.49 but the rang us for 11.99. Whatever, not going to sweat it for 50 cents. They probably forgot to change the price on the menu. The food itself isn't that great, but it's so fast! I finished ordering and got my food within 5 minutes. It's not too expensive but honestly I can make better food at home, taste better and cheaper. But when the weather is hot and you don't feel like cooking, this is a good choice. read more

I came around 8:30 PM on a Thursday night after a long day of work. I ordered a BBQ Chicken Mini Meal and when I opened it at home, there was ONE PIECE OF CHICKEN and barely any vegetables.
