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.

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

I've been waiting to try this place for a while but don't typically have a reason to be in Morgan…read moreHill. Finally decided to drop by on a Sunday afternoon. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress. She said we could sit wherever we wanted, asked if we've been in before, and told us about the specials. The interior is cozy, it kind of reminded me of dive bar vibes. They have a lot of drinks on tap and some frozen slushies. I opted for organic iced tea since I don't drink. When I went to the bathroom, I noticed one of the slushies was non-alcoholic so I might try that next time. We ordered the Bourbon Bacon Burger with Chili Cheese Fries and the Supreme wood-fired pizza. The burger was fantastic! The BBQ sauce was delicious, the bacon and onion rings were crispy, and the fries were great. I enjoyed the chili, but I didn't think the cheese sauce or sour cream really stood out. I thought the crust on the pizza was perfect, I really enjoyed the wood-fired vibe and fresh toppings. This would probably be my favorite pizza if they used better mozzarella. For now, Bizza is holding the top spot for me since they use Butcher's Son mozzarella, and in my opinion, it's the best vegan mozzarella sub I've ever had from pizza spots so far. Even though I have notes, I still think the overall meal was a home run and the staff were super friendly so they get 5-stars in my book.

I've been here before. Good food and they will usually substitute if they run out of something and…read moretry to make it delicious. This sandwich is my favorite. As for service it's really hard to tell who works there or is hanging out at the bar. The waiter that I didn't know was a waiter didn't even say anything when we walked in and I grabbed the menu myself and sat down with my family. Still nothing. We had a party of 4. Finally she came over about 10 minutes in, and asked for our order after seeing we had a menu. The gentleman that brought out meal out asked if everything looked right and asked if we needed anything. Partly thru our meal we were all so hott because it's 100 degrees outside and I guess they don't have Air conditioning so we were waiting for water, finally I went up myself with our glasses and asked for them to be filled. I waited there because I didn't want to risk her taking forever to bring the glasses back to our table. Again, great food but service from the waitress could be better.

Came in for mothers day dinner with my family. Made my reservation through OpenTable and I was able…read moreto get the timeslot that I wanted. It was nice that downtown wasn't too crowded and Willard Hicks wasn't overly crowded either. Ambience was casual and relaxed. We were seated at a booth and given waters and menus to look over. Ordered a couple of appetizers and then our entrées. APPETIZERS WH CRAB CAKES $20.00 FRESH LUMP CRAB, SWEET PEPPERS, CILANTRO, TARRAGON ON A BED OF BABY ARUGULA, SERVED WITH OUR CHIPOTLE AIOLI. Crab cakes were good and paired well with the salad greens that came with them. Would definitely return just for the crabcakes. COCONUT CRUSTED SHRIMP $20.00 COCONUT CRUSTED SHRIMP, SWEET PEPPERS, SCALLIONS. THAI CURRY BROTH, MANGO, MICRO GREENS, PEANUTS. The coconut shrimp were delicious. The coconut crust was crisp and golden brown, cooked to perfection. The broth with the mango and micro greens and peanuts paired very well with the shrimp. I just wish I had a spoon to scoop more of it up. Definitely coming back for this one too. ENTRÉES BLACKBERRY GLAZED FILET MIGNON $60.00 OUR 8OZ CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF FILET MIGNON, BLACKBERRY DEMI GLACE, FIRE ROASTED GRAPES, BLUE CHEESE, SERVED OVER A TRUFFLED PARSNIP PURÉE. This filet mignon was cooked to perfection. It cut perfectly and just melted in your mouth with every bite. The roasted grapes were a pleasant surprise and paired well and the blackberry Demi glaze gave it good flavor. SURF & TURF $78.00 FILET MIGNON, BUTTER-POACHED LOBSTER TAIL, TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES, ASPARAGUS, BÉARNAISE SAUCE. The surf and turf entrée was on their Mother's Day special menu. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and it just melted in your mouth with every bite. The tripled mashed potatoes were delicious, and the asparagus was cooked to perfection while having a little bit of crunch to it. DESSERT COOKIES AND FROZEN MILK $10.00 FRESHLY BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, WARM FROM THE OVEN, SERVED WITH A SCOOP OF OUR ICE CREAM. This dessert was a big portion with 2 giant cookies and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Cookies were crunchy and had a warm soft center. They paired well with the cookies and drizzle of chocolate. BUTTER CAKE $14.00 WARM BUTTER CAKE, FRESH STRAWBERRIES AND VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM. Butter cake was good and paired well with strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Customer service not bad, however, it could have been better.

We really liked the aesthetic and vibe to this restaurant. A good place to bring a date. The food…read morewas very solid . I was also slightly confused by the menu because it didn't match their website so we improvised when it was time to order.
