Chicken Combo
Cyl C.

Date of visit: August 6, 2025 Selections: Spam Musubi (2 pcs) Chicken Combo - Rice - Veggies - Macaroni salads - Hawaiian BBQ Chicken - Chicken Katsu Experience: I was craving some form of comfort food while I was heading home from an evening meeting. After looking through Trader Joe's and not finding anything to appease my appetite, I decided to walk over to Ono Hawaiian BBQ across the ways in the same plaza. It was about 30 minutes before closing time and there were two couples and a big group waiting for their orders/chilling. One of the cashiers came up to me once he saw me, but I wasn't ready yet and was stressing out lolz I finally went with the Chicken Combo instead of the Hawaiian BBQ Mix or the Seafood Mix, but will possibly try those next time. I also got a side order of spam musubi as well. I didn't have to wait too long for my order to be ready and was excited there was a sauce type station by the fountain drink station so I grabbed a little bit of everything. I ended up eating one of the spam musubi when I got in my car. Not the best, but still decent for my cravings. I ate my actual meal when I got home and definitely liked the katsu better than the bbq chicken. The katsu was pretty crunchy and went well with the macaroni salad. Definitely wasn't a fan of all the veggies hidden under the meat, but combining them with the rest of the meal helped me to eat my veggies lolz I only managed to finish half of my plate and saved the rest for my lunch at work the next day. Did finish off both spam musibi though. Overall, enjoyed my meal and planning to go back in the future!

Kalua pork combo with teriyaki chicken on veggies. The mayo macaroni/cheese was delicious.

Food is plentiful and not pricey but not what I want more of, like rice, veggies under the meat. The Kalbi combo was only one piece with shredded beef and pork slices. The Kalua pork combo with Teriyaki chicken was chopped pieces of pork rather than the picture shredded pulled meat. The taste is nothing like the Hawaiian Kahlua pig I expected. It was like flavored than cooked in its own juice. But the place is airy, clean, family friendly and comfortable. The staff are very nice and courteous.

Ordered Combo Plate and it was terrific! Great portion loved it had more cooked cabbage than white steamed rice and mac salad. Tge meat portions were hearty & plentiful portion. Took to go and when got home it was still steaming hot and fed 3 people!

Hawaiian BBQ Mix (Short Rib, BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef) enough for two people

Price: $$ ($11-$16) Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 I haven't been to Ono Hawaiian in a while and I was excited to found out that they just opened one in South Pasadena last year. The place is convenient and ample parking space available since it's situtated in a plaza. I could tell the interior of the restaurant is newly renovated and sparkling clean. The decoration matched the Hawaiian themed and plenty of communal table in the middle where patrons could dine and indulged their food. The staff was friendly and the price seems more reasonable than most of the restaurant in Pasadena area. The Food: Hawaiian BBQ Plate (short ribs, bbq chicken, bbq beef) was defitely my favorite. The portion was generous and could easily feed two people in my opinion, but I finished it alone (YES! It was that good). Everything was cooked to perfection even with the short rib, which I'm glad they were able to cooked it to my liking, slightly pink in the center makes it tender. The macaroni salad was everything that you expect from a Hawaiian BBQ joint, I wish they give me more. Overall, I'm very happy with my plate and my visit would not be the last.

A lovely place to get Hawaiian grills for a decent price. This location is pretty nice. The plates were good. I had the chicken ones. The meat was grilled well but mine has quite a lot of burnt parts to it. The spam was very good. Parking was a but hard to find since the complex was full of other shops too. Quick service and friendly server.

Small order of Mac Salad.

I was excited when I saw that Ono Hawaiian BBQ had opened in the shopping center where my mailbox is located. I'm a fan of Ono's Hawaiian plate lunches especially the Crispy Shrimp, which comes with rice, veggies, and their famous Mac Salad. I typically don't like mayonnaise but there is something about that Mac Salad that is irresistible. The Crab Rangoon is also exceptionally good. I popped in the other day to satisfy my mac salad craving. The place was clean and spacious. Plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside. The gal that helped me was friendly, and my order was ready quickly. *Located in a shopping center so there is plenty of free parking.

Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a fast-casual restaurant known for its Hawaiian plate lunches with locations in California and Arizona and, surprisingly, none in Hawaii! Ono Hawaiian BBQ celebrated the Grand Opening of its South Pasadena Location on October 13th, 2023, with a BOGO promotion, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Hawaiian dancing performances, $100 gift card giveaways, and coupons for future use! They also live-streamed the festivities on Instagram Live, which was super cool to see how crazy-packed it was! They have been busy all day because of the limited-time promotion of buy one, get one free, so there were long lines! While waiting in line, we could scan the QR code to access the menu. I know many older people were in line, and they had difficulty because they didn't know how to scan the QR code. I recommend a short link they could type in on their phone browser and/or paper menus for people to look at. I also checked the menu prior, so I knew what I wanted. I bought the Hawaiian BBQ Mix and Seafood Mix. It's been a while since I've had Ono Hawaiian BBQ, but it was good. The meat was a bit chewy, and a small portion was not edible. But overall, it was good. I think some small portions were too difficult to eat. It's in the same plaza as the new Silverlake Ramen and Jamba Juice, so there is plenty of parking in the plaza. Overall, it's a great addition to the neighborhood, and I wish Ono Hawaiian BBQ much success!

Opening Day October, Friday the 13th

Opening Day on October, Friday the 13th with a great BOGO deal. The staff was very busy, well organized and friendly. Nice decor. Received my order in less than 15min, quick service and order was correct. Ordered the Hawaiian mix, which is always large enough for a big appetite, everything was tasty and well prepared. The BOGO deal was A great start to this new location. They even handed out BOGO+other coupons to return again.

Beef and Chicken & Beef Combo

Great serving size with reasonable price. Recommended for meat lovers and especially those who like BBQ or honey sauce. Food processing is quick. No tips required.

This what she punch. Period

Was in the area and stopped by for a quick lunch. Haven't been in a while but was craving some…read moreFilipino food. They have a small market section where you can grab snacks, sauces, and pantry items, and then a hot food area where they serve ready to eat dishes. I got some pancit, longganisa, and lechon. The pancit was solid, the longganisa was juicy and had that sweet flavor, and the lechon was really good. Moist with super crispy skin. Definitely get the sauce with it, it helps cut through the richness. Also grabbed a turon to finish and it was delicious. Left super full and ready to knock out after. Solid spot if you're in the area and craving Filipino food.

Chaaste Family Market is located at 296 Allen Avenue #3 Pasadena California 91106. It is an…read moreauthentic Filipino family Market. This is a small Market that has a little bit of everything that you're looking for from Southeast Asia. It's like a 7-Eleven, Filipino style. It's fun to look at the various items available here. You will always end up with more than just what you were looking for. I enjoy the cracker nuts, dried mangoes, and specialty dried items. Their selection of items is always changing so I like to look at what's new and on display. I will sometimes ask the front counter what just came in. The Fresh Deli, located up a small incline to the left as you enter the market, is spectacular. The flavor of the food permeates the entrance to the market. They have an incredible selection of fresh made food. It is difficult to make a decision between the different items. I asked for some help from the gentleman behind the counter. I've dealt with Christian, Gabriel and Abraham and all three are knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to explain how some of the food was prepared and the special attention that was given to each individual item. I wanted to limit myself to two items. I decided on the special marinated Beef Caldereta and the Lechon Kawali. On another trip I decided to try the Pork Tochino and the Barbecue Chicken Skewers. I can't tell you how happy I am with the flavors of the food from the deli. Everything was done to perfection. The Chicken skewers were tender and moist with a great barbecue flavor. The Toccino had a nice marinade flavor and was not too sweet. The Lechon was tender and had enough fat to give it a great flavor and texture. I have to admit the Caldereta was my favorite. Great taste, texture, and just the right spices to give it a little kick. The rice and noodles were a perfect accompaniment. All the sauces I was given added to the flavor of all the dishes. At the cash register at the front counter I paid for my items and asked about other items coming in in the near future. I found out that they are not always sure what's going to become available but always looking for something that will make their customers happy. This is truly a family establishment. I found out that everybody there is related. They definitely give exceptional service and quality merchandise, and delicious food. I look forward to coming back and trying many other items both in their market area as well as the Deli.
