    What's left of the BBQ Combo
    Denzel L.

    Grabbin a quick din. I had a craving for Hawaiian BBQ so I pulled up to this new ONO Hawaiian BBQ. Got the BBQ combo dinner subbed rice with extra Mac + the crispy shrimp appetizer. The food was fresh and came out quickly. It was all well seasoned and delicious.

    The food was 'ok.' I just didn't think it was special. As a matter of fact, I like L&L much better than this place. I don't think I would come back. I got the Aloha plate which offers 2 items on their combo. I got the fire island chicken and bbq beef. The chicken was better than the beef, but both were only 'ok.'

    Great new South Lake location, 15 min walk from my house. Portion size comparable to other locations. I only wish I could choose ANY meat-seafood combo I like instead being limited to their set combos. (For example if you want galbi ribs you are limited to combos with bbq chicken only, no seafood or Island fire chicken either, which is a real bummer.) Also you cannot buy items a' la carte like you can at Panda. Having said that, the food is high quality and tastes great!

    Hawaiian BBQ Beef Musubi (2 pcs)
    Luis D.

    Decided to try Ono Hawaiian BBQ, recently opened near me. The first is conveniently located next to a donut shop, so carb away. The musubi were really good and not overstuffed with rice like some other places. The beef musubi is my favorite, really tender beef. The mini plate meals are plenty generous. The prices are good, so great value.

    Aloha plate with white fish and Island Fire Chicken; yum! However, portions were smaller than other Ono locations.

    The good: Taste was on point and comparable to other Ono locations. I ordered the aloha plate with white fish and island fire chicken to share. Service was friendly, fast, and efficient. One of the employees even brought an extra plate and fork because he knew we were sharing. All-in-all, it was a good experience. The only complaint I have is that the portion sizes seemed noticeably smaller here compared to other Ono locations. So while the location looks nice and the taste of the food is good, I would likely choose to go to one of the other locations to have larger portions. While my husband and I did have enough to eat, we definitely didn't come home with the customary leftovers. My honest rating for this location was 3.5 stars; however, the service and taste bumped it up to 4 rather than 3.

    We attended thier "Grand Opening" a couple of weeks ago ... We had a 2 for 1 mixed bbq plate with kalbi, chick & beef. Delicious. Super nice staff... Ribbon cutting .... Live dancers n musicians... Plus we were winners in thier raffle. We were spoiled & impressed! Five stars!!!!

    Opening Day for this location. Always good food! Quick friendly service. Front entrance from Lake. Back entrance by parking lot used as Exit only.

    Chicken katsu was still pink and slimy inside. Please cook it longer! Can easily get sick from raw chicken.
    christina l.

    Love this place but yesterday I notice the chicken katsu was undercooked and slimy inside. Please cook it bit longer and check it after cutting to make sure it's cooked throughly. Undercook chicken can easily get you sick

    Mini Chicken Katsu

    Like Zippy's back in Hawaii. Food is good and consistent. Price not bad. They give plenty. Counter girl took care of my order right away. Place is clean. Hawaiian music on the speakers. . I always get lunch here when I'm visiting and stocking up at Essence. Mini plate is nuff.

    Getting ready to dig into my Hawaiian BBQ Mix.

The clam chowder, especially, blew my mind…read more I usually don't get clam chowder because the soup tends to be too thick for my liking or the lack of variety in the chunks makes it boring, but the one that Fishwives make is opposite of that! It's not thick at all, and there's so much variety that keeps it interesting. Everything else was amazing as well. I enjoyed the variety of fish in the ceviche, and the branzino was cooked perfectly crispy. Nothing felt under or overdone. We also got the Fat Bastard and Baruchois oysters and Peruvian Scallops, and these were amazingly fresh. The sauces that came with these were also delicious. The Fat Bastard and the scallops already tasted great on their own, but the sauces were a nice way to mix up the flavors. Overall, this is a place I would return to, and I'd gladly tell my family or friends about Fishwives!

We tried four different paellas: Seafood, Seafood Noodle, Squid Ink, and the daily special (which I've sadly forgotten). I genuinely can't pick a favorite...they were all so incredible. I've had some pretty bad experiences with overly salty paella, even in Spain (!!!), so I was relieved Dos Besos wasn't that. Great selection of tapas as well. We basically ordered everything. The standouts for me were the Galician octopus, mushrooms in truffle cream, and the cured meats. But holy, everything was so good. I am not a huge fan of red wine but the sangria was fruity and went down smoothly. Desserts were also fantastic, I especially loved the torrijas. The chef, who's from Barcelona, was incredibly kind and came out personally to offer complimentary pan con tomate with our endless jamón orders. Incredible experience and I would love to come back every day if I had the financial means to.

We loved it when we had the owners, husband and wife on the floor. In our recent visit, the owners weren't there. No one came to check on us or refilled our water not at least till the very end of our dinner because they wanted to see if we wanted to order dessert. Now, we watched them bus other tables out in the patio with water and frequent visits. There were only a few tables occupied at the time so the restaurant wasn't busy and definitely has the capacity to serve. I will not be coming back again sadly. Customer service is what makes or breaks a restaurant for me.

HAKATA SET (Your choice of: Tonkotsu or Miso Ramen, comes with Mini Spicy Tuna Don, Chicken Karaage 2 pcs, Tsukemono) This was one of the set items for the lunch special. Chose the miso ramen. The miso ramen had a very strong white miso flavor. Didn't hate it, as I do love miso, but it was a little too much miso for my liking. Typical curly ramen and it was cooked well. Loved the jammy egg too. It was a soy marinated egg. There were also three pieces of chashu too! It was good, but slightly overcooked. The portion of the ramen was medium sized and was surprised they didn't bring a smaller size since it was a set meal. But happy they were generous! Spicy tuna don was a small bowl, but they gave a good portion of spicy tuna, which was delicious. Chicken karaage were two pieces of chicken and it was just okay. No tsukemono was served with the meal. Overall the meal was satisfying. I think the price was fair for what was given. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly and attentive customer service. No complaints! AMBIANCE / TABLES + SEATS Very calm and relaxing ambiance. It was quiet and no music was playing, which I liked. The restaurant was super clean and I liked how the tables were set. Large tables in the back and small tables were closer to the front. Bar seats on the side. It was a medium-sized restaurant, but the layout made it feel larger. Clean bathroom too. PARKING The closest and most logical parking spot was the one right across from the restaurant. School House Garage on 33 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91105. Rates: $1.00 first 2 hrs, $2.00 for each additional hour. $12 for the full day. I liked the set menu, it was good for the price and I would like to return to try their other lunch menu items, whether it would be a set menu or a la carte.

They have a lot of tables inside so it is great for small and large groups. The waiters were also fast even though they were busy. We ordered their Kung Pao Chicken, Fried Tofu, Beef Noodle, Shrimp w Walnut, and Vegetable w Garlic. We decided not to get lobster since it was pricey.

My family and I used to religiously eat lobster noodles whenever we made a trip down to SoCal. The pick of the bunch was 100% Newport Seafood- no negotiations, no contemplations. Unfortunately, the last handful of times have left me extremely disappointed and heavily annoyed. The cost and wait times do not reflect what is actually being provided and most of our food ends up being left behind because it simply isn't worth the calories. In all honestly, I've grown a phobia w/ that specific restaurant at this point because of the countless letdowns. My initial taste of Boston Lobster was about 3 years ago and I had the most enjoyable meal. Due to our LA trip coming to an end, my BD thought we should do it big with some lobster noodles- for good old time's sake. I absolutely refused to go anywhere unless we would be giving Boston Lobster a visit! Sure enough, they did not disappoint! Dinner for 3 adults and 1 toddler consisted of: *Boston House Special Lobster [no spice] + Garlic Noodles for an additional fee. Medium Size 5-6lbs minimally. *French Style Beef Cube *Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves We ate like mf'n KINGS!! Each and every dish was spectacular- even the greens! While we should have gone with the small sized lobster, I'm proud to say we went down with an honorable fight. Lmao!! The lobster was cooked to perfection- meat was sweet, succulent, and so darn tender. The garlic noodles soaked up all of the delicious lobster flavors and were not overcooked and mush. The bo luc lac was flavorful, juicy, and complimented the bed of lettuce, onions, & tomatoes so well. The snow pea leaves weren't tough and old- this truly was a simply yet magical dish. Service was on point and the staff continually came by to swap out our plates full of lobster shells. Above all, there was no wait with our initial arrival. Parking is easy given the fact that BL has a pretty big parking lot specifically for them. 5/5 stars!! We dropped over 3 bills here and it didn't even hurt. Lmao- this place is that damn good! Don't sleep on this joint, y'all. Boston Lobster is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine. This spot should be so much more hyped than it actually is!
