    SUPER YUMMY~ this is our second times here~!! PLUS I had to get two more boxes to take out~

    I ordered my son chicken katsu and the chicken was still pink. Went to the worker to ask if they can cook it more, he told me that the chicken will be pink but it's cooked. Umm, no it was raw! I told him I'm from Hawaii and we order chicken katsu all the time, he then proceeded to tell me that this is not an authentic Hawaiian restaurant, I get it, but to serve my son raw chicken is uncalled for. They took the plate back and he said he will ask the cooks to make a new one. I got my son's food back and it was literally still raw. They basically just reheated it in the microwave or something. We just threw it away, not worth going back and forth with it. Never again eating here.

    Great Food and it's a hit or miss on the cashier. Some could use a little more training but there's a youthful vibrant dirty-blonde haired kid that ALWAYS makes coming here worth the drive. I found out his name was Jessie tonight after visiting again... His customer service skills are beyond amazing! Wish more places had a Jessie in them! I live in the Merced area and I drive out here for the great food AND continue returning because of the great service Jessie gives. I usually order the family meal. The great thing is you can pick and choose from their extensive menu. I normally order the steamed veggies, White rice, crispy sliced chicken (Chicken Katsu), BBQ teriyaki chicken (no sauce). And then buy a coconut drink. Literally you sip from a nice long straw straight out of the actual coconut they offer. You take the coconut home to eat when your done. Yum I absolutely recommend this place, especially when the service from the kid is so great.

    BBQ plate with no rice and extra veggies (cabbage).

    Not a fancy restaurant but good for a fast meal! Ordered online and food ready at time promised. Food tasted fresh and order was correct even with our special requests. Employees pleasant. If you eat at the restaurant the atmosphere is not like transitional restaurants. Just tables in a big room. Also you order at the counter and pick up. Veggies consist of cabbage only. I like it but know that you will not be given carrots, etc. Also parking is terrible!! But they give you a lot of food so you may want to walk off the extra calories.

    Ordered a mini chicken bbq plate Got two small pieces of chicken Not a full scoop of rice and not a full scoop of Mac Not coming back to this location

    Wrong drinks. Should be two diet Cokes, and a sprite.

    Ordered on Uber eats. The driver that does not speak or read English is expected to fill the drink cups when they pick up the order from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Unacceptable!! He brought 3 large drinks filled with water, something dirty water looking and something orange. This was after hi to g around the building for where he dropped off my order. He didn't even follow the delivery instructions and you expect him to complete the food order! Absolutely unacceptable. Horrible customer service.

    Food was fantastic. Staff was great and had no problem not adding cabbage and adding extra Mac. Food was really good. They allow dining inside now. Will be returning again

    Shrimp & BBQ Chicken Combo with rice and veggies. Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken Pick Two Ahola Plate with all rice.
    Savannah M.

    Placed a 2 plate order for a scheduled pick up 2 hours in advance. When I arrived for my order, they were just putting it in the bag which made pick up easy. Everything I ordered was there when I checked! I ordered a Shrimp & BBQ Chicken Combo plate and a Pick Two Aloha plate with Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and Grilled Teriyaki Chicken. We opted for more rice instead of the salads which worked great because the rice was fantastic! The veggies in the combo plate was just cabbage, no broccoli. The Hawaiian BBQ Chicken was great, even as a leftover the next day. The Grilled Teriyaki Chicken pretty good too. My only complaint is with the shrimp. They were too greasy which kind of made them soggy. They weren't inedible but it might be a big deal to someone who wanted crispier shrimp. Each plate came with two sauces which was enough for our order. Overall it was a good meal for an average price.

    Why does this Tri-Tip have to be so ridiculously tender and juicy?!…read more Seriously... why even bother giving me a steak knife? This Tri-Tip was so tender I could've sliced it with an old butter knife from Grandma's kitchen drawer and never missed a beat. And the flavor? Absolutely unreal. I swear that cow was out in the pasture happily munching on fresh grass about two seconds before it made its way to my plate. Every bite tasted so fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor that it almost seemed unfair to every other Tri-Tip I've ever eaten. This wasn't just dinner--it was a full-blown meat experience. Tender, juicy, flavorful, and cooked so perfectly that it should probably come with a warning label: "Caution: May permanently ruin all future Tri-Tip for comparison purposes." 10/10. I'd gladly skip a salad, ignore my diet, and make questionable life decisions all over again for another plate of this masterpiece.

    I was really looking forward to trying Big Vic's BBQ because I've heard a lot of positive things…read more Unfortunately, my experience didn't quite meet my expectations. I ordered the pork belly sandwich, but it wasn't what I expected based on the menu. Instead of the tender, sliced pork belly I was anticipating, it came with three large chunks of meat covered in barbecue sauce. It honestly didn't resemble what I would typically consider a pork belly sandwich, and I found myself a little confused by the presentation. The macaroni and cheese had good flavor, although it seemed a bit dry and firm, as if it had been sitting for a while. I understand that everyone has different styles of barbecue, and this may have simply been an off day. I'm sharing this feedback in the hope that it's helpful, because I know many people speak highly of Big Vic's. I truly hope this was just an exception, and I'd be willing to give them another try in the future.

We traveled from Modesto, and after trying the food, I'd gladly make that trip again. Whether you're planning a special gathering or just looking for a reason to take a quick drive for incredible barbecue, this place is worth it. If you're dining in, the shady outdoor seating is the perfect spot to relax, enjoy your meal, and the welcoming atmosphere. We ordered enough to feed about 15-16 people, and every single person left happy. That's saying a lot because we have some pretty picky eaters in our family! The ribs were tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, while the mac and cheese quickly became the crowd favorite. You can tell there's real care and attention behind every dish...the flavors are bold without being overwhelming, and everything tastes homemade with its own unique touch. The staff was welcoming and friendly from start to finish, making the whole experience even better. Great barbecue has a way of bringing people together, and this meal did exactly that. Between celebrating the holiday and seeing everyone go back for seconds, it made our Fourth of July even more memorable.

    First and foremost I want to give a shout out to Ivan for making my baby brother's high school…read moregraduation so memorable. Thank you!!! This review has been drafted for a while and as I'm clearing my storage I reflected on our time here & it was memorable. The food was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed my steak, it was cooked to perfection. Mashed potatoes with gravy were amazing, & the sweet potato casserole was a great dessert. Only reason I held back on a 5 was that not everyone in my party had a great experience with their meals. The Mac & Cheese here is not ideal, it's missing some seasoning and more cheese. My hubby's ribs were overcooked but Ivan was quick to check in on us and correct our issues. The day we visited it was extremely packed and despite of that our server Ivan did a fabulous job checking in on us and we observed him helping many other customers all with a calming and friendly demeanor. It is very admirable to see someone maintain their composure when it's visibly chaotic from huge crowds. Great work, next time I'm in the area I will return.

We started with the Argentine empanadas served with bone marrow and chimichurri--two good-sized empanadas for $24. Great flavor and a solid way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the hanger steak cooked medium--it came out perfect. It was served with Roth Fries, which might honestly be the best garlic fries I've had in a long time. Fresh garlic, Parmesan, parsley... just done right. The steak was topped with chimichurri and came with two dipping sauces--everything worked. My wife ordered the Kung Pao Street Noodles with grilled prawns ($36), and she loved it. Overall, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a standout experience. Our waitress, Janet, was amazing--super attentive and helpful. Whenever I asked about dishes I saw coming out, she was more than happy to explain them. We'll definitely be back.
