Food was delicious! Made to order and super fresh. The chicken katsu held its crispiness on the way home which I was impressed about. Disappointed that they forgot the katsu sauce though cause that's what is needed to complete the meal! Service could have been better. The cashier wasn't rude but wasn't friendly either. You can tell she was impatient about my ordering (and I wasn't even slow) and her tone wasn't nice either. Pros: -food was delicious -generous amount of protein per plate Cons: -busy parking lot -slightly rude service -one scoop of Mac salad was little -two scoops of rice were little too! -wish there were more broccoli in the vegetables portion In conclusion, I will stick to the temple city location because I've always had awesome and friendly service there!

waste my time

When I went in to place my order, there were only a few people waiting there.Then almost 30mins still waiting ,Waste my time ,Unfriendly toward Asians.The waiter's expression was impatient and his words showed discrimination.If this is a place that sells tacos even no english is fine.

Tha mac salad was good but that's all I could eat

I'm really disappointed with my experience here. According to my receipt, the employee who helped me was Daniela. From the start, she had a very unfriendly attitude and made me feel like I was inconveniencing her by ordering. She had an angry expression and was not welcoming at all. After placing my order, I went next door to grab food for my child and came back 20 minutes later to check if it was ready. When I asked if they had called my number yet, another employee reacted as if it were unreasonable for me to even ask, even though it had already been a while. Then, when it was time for my number to be called, she stood there repeating my number over and over, knowing it was mine and clearly just being rude. In total, I waited 30 minutes, which feels excessive for fast food. The restaurant was completely packed, and we had to wait 30 minutes just to get a table. Seeing how busy it was, I assumed the food would be worth the wait. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The chicken was extremely salty and basically inedible. I could only manage a few bites. We ended up leaving still hungry and very unhappy. Overall, this visit was a complete letdown.

Chicken combo plate
Magda N.

Ono always delivers with big serving of plate full of meat and rice. Chicken combo plate is always our go to. The hubby likes the bbq chicken and I like the chicken katsu. It's $13 per plate now Mac salad is solid as always. Really big cup of soda. No shame in sharing 1. Musubi's come in 2's and you can choose spam, beef, or chicken. Ratio of beef and rice is not too bad, but it is a lot of rice. You can probably get full from 2. Staffs are friendly and place looks nice and bright inside now.

Fish plate

After a long day at the snow we like to come here to eat. It's quick and delicious. I ordered fish. It was fresh and warm. They gave additional salad dressing so we can add and it was usually needed. I used to add katsu sauce to the salad when there used to be not enough dressing. Employees were friendly. My dad and I sat at the tables and devoured our food. It hits the spot.

Pickup area for online and prepaid orders

What's up: Grabbing food for dinner and it had been a while since we've had food from Ono. I'm craving some of their macaroni salad! Parking: Located in the Rosemead Place Shopping Center, parking can be difficult in that little corner where the Ono is located. If you're lucky, you might be able to snag a spot. If not, there's always more parking elsewhere if you don't mind a bit of walking. I usually park closer to the side with Cold Stone and Rose City Pizza and walk over...less parking frustration! Environment: Walking in, you'll see the order counter straight ahead. They have a few tables indoors where you can eat. Since we placed our order online, we went to the area marked with "Online and Prepaid Orders". After a short wait, I picked up my order and was off. What was ordered: - Hawaiian BBQ Chicken (yummy chicken and macaroni salad. Drizzle that teriyaki sauce for more yum) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The food at Ono was as good as I remembered. That macaroni salad gets me every time. Pick up was easy and I was out in no time. Credit cards are accepted.

Pick Two: Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki
Fanny C.

Ono's is so nostalgic to me because I use to get it after my collegiate games. I always get the pick two because I like the salad just a bit more than I do of the mac salad (unpopular opinion). Also no sauce on my salad! They packed my bowl and I was not able to finish all at once. Ate it the day after and it was still very good! The katsu was so crispy and I wish I ate more of that the first day of eating it so it stayed crispy. The location was very clean and food came out very fast. I will be coming back to Onos soon! Stop by this location!

Macaroni Salad and Spam Musubi. My first non- hospital meal, yay! Portions for both items are large and delicious.
Kim T.

I was craving Macaroni Salad and Spam Musubi. The portions here also huge! I finished the Macaroni Salad first. Afterwards, I ate the Spam Musubi the next day. The Macaroni Salad was decent. Good amount of pasta. However, the sauce mixed with it tasted weird. A bit too tangy. I would not get this again. Spam Musubi: Two of those were hella hefty! The rice was good and thick. The Spam was also tasty. Eating this made me missed my Mom. Service was delivered via Uber Eats with plenty of napkins.

I've always enjoyed onos and this place is no different. Picked up an online order at 7:30 and had no issues. They pack tons of sauce for you for pickup which is also nice. I tried out the bbq beef musubi for the first time and would say it's worth a try, personally feel like it's better than the spam musubi. For the mains I got the melemele curry chicken and it tasted like it had some Indian spices. Overall pretty good but don't know if I'd go to onos for that. The second main I had was the kalbi short ribs and they were fire as always. Overall a pretty good experience!

Island vibe as soon as you get in Small little local spot,…read moremakes it feel more authentic. Grab a menu and grab a table, then order at the register. Food came quick. Food portions were good and food was fresh. Ordered 1 entree lunch plates and 1 entree breakfast plates, all were delicious. Spicy Garlic Shrimp wasn't spicy, I used sriracha to give the extra spice. Mac Salad was good, different version than your usual Hawaiian spot. It's a cross between a Hawaiian Mac salad with potato and egg. Macadamia nut pancakes were good. The pancake itself was fluffy and the cream tasted like a light macadamia vanilla cream custard, no syrup needed

I've had this spot bookmarked for a while now and because I got some local food passport as a gift…read morerecently, it reminded me to make my way here. I got their two item breakfast plate with Portuguese sausage and steamed veggies with over-easy eggs; and a small pancakes as part of the passport offering. The breakfast plate was a bit bland, including their sausage, which is thinly sliced versus what I've seen on their Yelp page (inflation sized sausages). I mean, I get why there are soy sauce and hot sauce condiments readily available. My steamed veggies turned out to be veggies in a teriyaki sauce, which I guess was fine as it added more flavor to my breakfast plate. I don't have any authority to judge what good pancakes are since I never order it, but theirs was fluffy with a slightly sweetened cream sauce that reminds me of the custard in a cream puff pastry. But the pancakes were 1 1/2 times double the size of my head so it's huge! I barely made a dent in most of the food so I guess I have leftovers for days now. Service was good and the place had a nostalgic charm to it. If you're in search of ginormous portions in carbs for a reasonable price, then this is your place.

Accidentally went there. I was looking for a car part at the O'Reilly auto parts that anchors this…read morestrip mall and decided to walk over to see the restaurant. While I was staring at the menu deciding whether I wanted to get anything, several people came and went with their orders and everyone told me to get the fried chicken. So, I went inside and got the fried chicken with macaroni salad. A few mintues later, I added a katsu musubi to the order. This is not fast-food. The wait is real. About 12 minutes. I then had probably about 10 minutes of driving before I sat down to eat. The fried chicken is delicious and has a great crispy/crunchy skin. There is a faint sweetness that coats the chicken. The meat was not super plump like some national-chain places (I think those places brine-injected the chicken). Depending on your preference, this might feel too dry to you. Their dipping sauce for the chicken is very tasty. If they just sold that in bottles, I'd come just to buy that for use at home! Speaking of preferences, the macaroni salad is also well made, but it's simple and might be disappointing if you're expecting some kind of flavor kick. I liked it very much, because it is in the style of the basic macaroni salad -- someone described it as going home to Hawaii for them -- and I think that's what it is. Portions were enough to split into two meals. So I had half of my chicken and the mac salad. I had planned to also only eat half of the musubi. But it was delicious and had a nice crunch which I'm sure would not have held up being kept in the fridge. I really enjoyed the musubi on its own, but also enjoyed taking turns with bites with that sauce added on. I stored the rest of the chicken and mac salad in the fridge and then had them for dinner 6 hours later. Despite being in the fridge, the chicken still had a bit of a crunchy bite to it - it wasn't a mushy soggy mess. Very friendly service. This is not a sit-down place you go to for a dining experience - just a solid place to get food to go that will be delicious. Now that I've had the fried chicken that everyone seems to recommend, I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.

It is a small, unassuming little place with a free parking lot. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly, and I have to say, the service was great! The lady at the counter was super sweet and made small talk with me. I got my order which came out to $17.12 after tax. Food-wise, the fried chicken was indeed delicious! I loved the batter: it was shatteringly crisp. The chicken was tender and flavored well, but I loved the sauce that came with it! For the mac salad, I thought it was just okay. It tasted a bit plain from other mac salads I've tried, but the noodles were cooked perfectly. For the price, the portion size is okay, but I'm not complaining since the food was good. Overall, the friendly service and fried chicken is what makes me want to come back again! I definitely want to try their other offerings too. Would recommend!
