Kids Katsu chicken
Lisa W.

Keiki meal is where it's at. It's perfect for my baby. It has the right amount of meat and rice. The chicken katsu came with 5 pieces of katsu and steamed broccoli. Also my baby couldn't eat it all so I got the left overs.

Chicken Katsu Mini Meal
magali b.

I like that Ono has a mini meal because I don't like getting a lot of food that I can't finish. Their chicken katsu always hits the spot especially with their teriyaki sauce. Every time I go in I get helped right away and never have to wait too long for my food. The girls at the cashier are polite and friendly. I do think the restaurant can do a little better at keeping there tables clean.

The plastic I found in my meal and gagged on (I cleaned it for the picture )

If I could give it a 0 I would, I ordered pick up of the combo plate with the Mac salad and inside was a huge piece of plastic that I gagged on lol... they comped just the plate lmaoo they should of done my whole meal and given me a gift card and I still wouldn't go back... I should of just found the closest L and L (you can see in my photo the plastic piece after I washed it)

BBQ & Katsu Mix
Faye T.

Had the BBQ mix with katsu. Katsu was good, but the beef rib and sliced beef were ok, kinda chewy. Pricey for just 1 rib ($17). Staff looked like they didn't like being there - no greetings, no smile. The place has large clean seating area, bathroom could be cleaned, and had ample parking.

Chicken katsu/chips!
Tcchi M.

My hub likes their Beef ribs, and I like their Macaroni salad. Nowadays, eating out is quite expensive, but theirs isn't. Katsu, I don't recommend, unless you re-cook it to make Katsu Don. That way, you can omit deep frying part. Also, I LOVE their ginger? salad dressing, KILLER. B App!

Consistency is key. As far as my personal experience, this location has always been consistent with their quailty. Reading through some of the other reviews on here, it seems like maybe some of the stresses and pressures of the recent pandemic had some influence on some other yelper's experiences. . However, I feel like given the crazy circumstances restaurants faced and had to figure out how to navigate, some grace should be given to the employees and business owners during it all. . Personally I never noticed the rudeness that others have mentioned. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe I just appreciated the fact that there were businesses that did the best they could to stay open during such a weird time in our history. . All that said, I've always been happy with the quality of the food and the portion sizes. One dish in particular that I enjoy is their island fire chicken. Prior to discovering Ono, I used to enjoy a similar spicy chicken dish from a (relatively) nearby restaurant in San Jose, but their quality kept slipping and slipping to the point where I stopped going. (And that was pre 2020) Once I tried the island fire chicken from Ono, I had a new spot to get some great spicy chicken and haven't looked back! The other chicken options, pork, and beef have all been really tasty as well. . Don't forget to try their appetizers too! . My only reason for dropping one star is that when we get the aloha plates, the salad often doesn't have much dressing on it. However, the times when we ask for (and pay for) an extra to-go cup of dressing, the salads magically have an abundance of dressing on them. It's like entering the land flowing with milk and honey, but in this case it's their house dressing. (Don't get me wrong, the dressing tastes great) I just wish it was more consistent. The times we forget to ask for extra dressing we're often a little bummed at the lack of dressing. But you know what, that's a pretty small issue to have when everything else has held up and always turns out great.

Shrimp & BBQ Teriyaki Chicken Combo
Crystal M.

For their reasonable price, the quantity and quality of food, I'd say they deserve 5 stars for sure! They prepare food when we call in, chicken donkatsu and fried shrimps were still piping hot and crispy when we brought them home. They got the rice right and we get plenty of vegetables! Their only short comings would be the sauces. Teriyaki sauce was too gooey for my taste and the other sauce(BBQ?) lacked flavor. Oh, their macaroni salad is so addicting, the side portion was not enough, we ordered one extra serving :)

The beef was tough and chewy. I spit out most of it as inedible. The rice was clumpy and unappetizing.

Get your order in for Thanksgiving - they'll be open until 2pm!…read more My family and I have been here a couple of times and loved each time! All of the dishes were so delicious, portions are generous, and service is friendly! Dining area is clean and welcoming. We've had late lunches here and our favorites are: lechon belly; lumpia shanghai; sinigang; adobo; beef stew; pancit; longanisa; dinaguan; leche flan...yes - everything we've had is so good that I can't pick just a couple favorites! They are cash only but there is an ATM.

We were greeted with a smile by the owner, treated like royalty with a clean table, bottled waters, and pure joy. I was unable to eat anything due to a food allergy (they use soybean oil), but I recommend this restaurant for everyone who can eat the food safely. The owner prepared a plate with our Loved One's favorite dishes - she was HI-Japanese - so these were her 'comfort foods'. The dishes sampled were the ones we chose for the event. They included Pancet (meat & veg) and Fried Lumpia. We paid after our tasting & made arrangements for a 3rd party to pick up the dishes on the day of the event. Guests & family raved about the food. It was presented nicely and there was plenty for our large group. We send our gratitude to the owner & his attentive staff for providing exemplary customer service & food. Pick up was easy & everything was packaged for safe transport in a car. Some notes about the restaurant: It's located in a strip mall with ample parking. The place is practically spotless. The owner never stopped cleaning. Restaurant owners & managers, take note!! The menu is simple, but hearty and flavorful (according to my friend). If you're lucky, the dishwasher will serenade you as he works!!

Given the short…read moretimeframe and large order size, they delivered everything quickly while serving great quality food. The service was fast, organized and the food was consistently great. If you're looking for a catering food truck for a small lunch window that delivers high quality and very quick service, I HIGHLY recommend Fire and Rice. Their Hawaiian Asian fusion menu is unique and stands out compared to other Asian or poke trucks I've tried. The garlic shoyu chicken and tuna poke were my personal favorites. I tried some of my coworkers garlic shrimp & Miso tofu too...surprisingly pretty GOOD! With inflation being what it is, their food is absolutely worth the price, and they were also flexible and willing to work within our reasonable budget. I can't recommend them enough. For catering inquiries, It was a little difficult getting them on the phone so we played phone tag a lot. I suggest texting or emailing Micah or Jessica for the quickest response, as they're often busy on the truck or during service.

Got the kalua pig too and it was so tender. Everything comes with rice and it all just hits. But what really got me was the people running this thing. Super friendly, genuinely fun to talk to while you wait, and they actually help you figure out what to order if it's your first time. You can just tell they care. Line moved fast, portions were generous, left way too full and way too happy. Already planning to come back.

We finally arrived at Hanami Sushi for a Saturday dinner recently. The sushi restaurant is located in a nice plaza in Morgan Hill. Parking is easy and accessible in the large parking lot. The restaurant has a nice simple, modern decor. There is a sushi boat bar as soon as you walk in. Plenty of tables and booths are available for dine in. The vibe is family friendly. We ordered a 2 item bento box with teriyaki beef and tonkatsu, salmon nigiri, lion king roll, dragon roll, unagi nigiri, and Chardonnay wine. The food was delicious and tasty as usual. The teriyaki beef in my bento box was tender and juicy. Both the lion king roll and dragon roll was fresh and high quality. We enjoyed all the food. Overall our experience at Hanami Sushi was ok that night. The food was good and traditional. Price point of the rolls, nigiri, and wine was reasonably fair. Unfortunately the service was bleh. Our female server never really checked with us at all until she dropped the check at the end. No refill of waters, no greeting in the beginning, no checking in if everything was ok? We probably won't be coming for a while once again.
