BBQ chicken
Miranda M.

Absolutely delicious! The portion and quality of food is so worth the price! $12 for this whole bowl with macaroni salad and I was full even after splitting this with my boyfriend! Chicken is nicely grilled (no crazy seasoning with just right amount of grilling). Rice is also really sticky and soft and just right melts into your tongue!!! Service is a little slow because they only have one person working. But, the server was very friendly and utensils are provided at the counter. It's located in the middle of United noodles so vibes are always good! This reminds me of h-mart on the east coast, but more chill and community-oriented.

The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. My wife ordered the Garlic Shrimp with the Kalbi Short Ribs, and I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ and Garlic Shrimp. Everything was very flavorful and tasted fresh. The only thing I didn't like was that a lot of the tables needed to be wiped down, and there weren't even many people in the restaurant at the time. But once I mentioned it, she came right out and cleaned the tables off, so I appreciated that. Overall it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back.

This is a bit of an odd location, being inside of United Noodles, but the low key and casual vibes are perfect for a mid shopping trip lunch or just a quick stop while you are in the neighborhood. Simple counter service where they will bring food out to your table, this is an easy spot to go with kids or family. I got the chicken Katsu and Short ribs combo plate. It was a little pricey at nearly 25 bucks, but I will say it was enormous amount of food and ended up not finishing it. Could absolutely share with someone else and be very happy. The chicken katsu was nice and crisp on the outside without being overcooked, and the honey mustard/katsu sauces paired perfectly with the salty breading. The short ribs were the star of the show, sweet and tangy, absolutely the type of meat you crave until you go back. I am very much looking forward to returning next time I need to go to United Noodle for groceries, and maybe even before that.

Classic Loco Moco

I've been wanting to try Loco Moco so my husband brought me to Ono, we both got the original Loco Moco and shared the hurricane fries, we probably could have shared the Loco Moco because we both ended up super full before finishing the fries. It was good, I wish maybe there was a little more gravy but the flavors were all good, textures etc were all great. It's order & they give you a number type deal, grab your own cutlery & napkins. So low key casual and it's inside of an Asian grocery store just fyi, so grab some ramen and other Asian fare while you're there! (And coastal seafoods is around the corner too!)

Chicken Katsu

I had the privilege to try Hawaiian bbq for the first time in California. After that memorable and delicious experience, I HAD to see if Minnesota had any similar joints, especially as someone who loves Japanese cuisine e.g. chicken katsu. To my luck, I was happy to see one back in MN. Obviously I had to go and compare. Rice and macaroni were good and expected. Katsu sauce was a bit too tangy and sweet, although preference varies from others. However, I obviously had to focus on the main star: the Katsu. Compared and contrasted to the Hawaiian bbq based in California aforementioned: chicken was good and not too dry at all. The breading/panko could've used more gritty texture, more bite to it. Some of the breading didn't adhere properly to the chicken as well. Otherwise, not too bad at all. Ambiance is okay, did not expect it inside a grocery store. I wonder if this business expanded and has their own building in the Twin Cities to promote traffic.

First time having Hawaiian plates. We order 2 plates to share among 3 of us. Plenty of food for us to enjoy and still had leftovers. We had the beef ribs, chicken, and shrimp. We also ordered the noodles and eggs on the side. My favorite was the bbq chicken! The beef ribs were a little tough and what wasn't tough was fatty. The shrimp was ok. The macaroni salad was good. The noodles were amazing. I think when I return, I'll order the chicken plate and get noodles on the side. Definitely worth a try! The place is cute and the staff are friendly!

The service is amazing the food is full of flavor but word of advice eat the macaroni salad with the rice. Before I forget the restaurant is located in an asian or Korean grocery store sorry if I am incorrect about the ethnicity.

Fun BBQ flavors in the United Noodle grocery store. The portions are quite large. The BBQ was my fav and my bf loved the mac salad. The chicken katsu was crispy and tastes good with the sauce which they don't give you too much of. The rice is well seasoned and not dry. I love their spam masubi which is harder to find now.

Katsu & BBQ chicken combo plate
Kate M.

Oh man this place was good. Nestled right inside United Noodle. The food coming out of this place was delicious. I got the Katsu & BBQ chicken combo plate with rice and Mac salad. It was all great. I did a combo of dipping sauces to try- my favorite was the katsu sauce and guava BBQ. Laid back atmosphere, limited seating but had open spots for lunch during the week. Will definitely be back to try other things.

Bbq chicken and katsu plate

Having been to United noodles I finally got myself to try this restaurant inside. There was plenty of seating with cafeteria style tables and it didn't feel cramped at all since it's an open ceiling. You order and pay at the front which I appreciate and your order is brought out to your table. They have sparking water on their fountain machine which I enjoyed since I only got a cup for water but they do carry a variety of pop and Hawaiian style drinks. The food was a generous portion for the price ($15.50) and can definitely have enough for two meals. Food was decent and met expectations. After you eat you can shop around in the grocery store for lots of other goodies to take home.

I always love coming here, tucked away inside United Noodle, Ono Hawaiian Plates is a fantastic spot for a quick lunch or dinner. The food is served plate style with plenty of protein options, my go to is the Chicken Katsu and BBQ Chicken combo, but if you want to splurge the short rib is also excellent. It is amazing to have authentic Hawaiian flavors right here in Minnesota, and it is definitely worth checking out. The service is decent, and while the seating can feel cramped during peak lunch hours, that is only because the place gets busy. Overall, it is one of my favorite hidden gems in Minneapolis.

Chicken Katsu
Hailey C.

10/10 for the chicken katsu plate. $9 for a big plate of crispy chicken with the perfect amount of macaroni on the side. 7/10 for the poke bowl. The quality of the tuna isn't the best and there are a lot of sauces that overpowered the fish in my opinion. They are located inside the grocery store, and they play good kpop music! Service was good, very straight forward, and they bring the food to your table. Plenty of parking available.

North Loop location- amazing food and ambiance. Pet & kid friendly as well! Definitely will be back! Billy leid me ;)

Ever since 2020, the climate surrounding the George Floyd Square has changed dramatically, and this establishment has become an even stronger integral part of the community as the square itself had represented how the community thrives with its people. A lot of respect for the establishment from that perspective. In terms of food, I would say the soul food, which contained mostly sides, were the main highlight for me. The mac & cheese was salty enough. The fries were solid in a "you can't really go wrong with it" type of way. The candied yams had enough sweetness. The collard greens could taste better but standards must be lower when they're not homemade. I also enjoyed the catfish fillets as they were fried to preserve enough hotness and softness. A lot of what they served, they made on the spot, which was what may be causing longer wait for some. Meat-wise, a lot of items could use further improvement because they were too dry, such as the smoked wings and the beef brisket. The wings were dry to the point that they condensed and got extremely salty. The brisket relied a lot on the sauce and the existing fat on the meat for juiciness while the meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor or juice. As for the ribs, they had some seasoning, and tasted just fine, and weren't as dry. But I have had ribs in Texan barbeque places before and knew what "seasoned" ribs were like and therefore concluded that the ribs here were not spectacular. With all that said, however, I still will return here as often as I can because I love supporting this business. The person serving me was very hospitable and patient. I still got some pretty solid barbeque even if it's not Texas. Besides, outside just the barbeque food, the soul food was solid, like I had mentioned above.

Today I just got a HH slider ($5) and fries ($4) and it was delightful. The pulled pork is super well marinated, has just enough coleslaw on top to not overpower the meat, and the crispy fried onions add a nice crunch. Equally I was shocked by how much I liked the fries- shoestring with a perfect amount of salt and crunch to my likeness!!

While MN has already been won, (thus the lazy count) we still love trying new spots & looking for our next new favorite! We opted for the sliders to split and all 3 varieties were good. I love that the chicken was schnitzel style. We also added the slaw for $5 cuz i needed some roughage & it was pretty good. The first beer chosen, in the usual for my hubby, ran out mid-pour. It was his favorite of the 3. I was partial to my hefe & he liked his IPA 2nd best. All 3 beers were good or better. The space large, likely to accommodate the Target Field crowds but it was mighty quiet when we got there, between lunch & dinner and service was very attentive. All in all, a very solid stop.

I split a chicken plate and the vegan bowl (plus a side of yuca) with my partner. I can't eat dairy, and it was easy finding items that fit my needs.

The chicken plate as good too, especially the plantains, the rice and beans, and the sauce. The fried yuca was great too! Our server was great, super attentive.

We sat outside on the patio and it had great ambiance with multi-colored string lights overhead. I had the chicken in gravy and he had the catfish sandwich and they were both phenomenal. We also had a side of grits which were great too. The server was very friendly and answered all of our questions. You are supposed to order on the QR code outside which is the only thing I would change because I think it's much quicker and easier to just order with your server. It took more of his time for me to order using the QR code because I had to ask him several questions about how to do it. But aside from that I loved this restaurant and will definitely be back soon!

A few things I don't love before I move on to the things I did like - everything was so sweet! All of their rubs, on the chicken, the brisket, and ribs, were so sugary. And the baked beans were like half sugar I swear, which I was very disappointed by. Their baked beans were especially sweet, and just not very good, which is so disappointing as they can easily be way better! (Like who uses kidney beans in baked beans)??? And the smoked salmon was definitely not smoked, at all. I did really like the ribs, they had a nice flavor. And the pork candy was good but had some incredibly chewy pieces. The brisket was good, no choice of lean or fatty but what can you except in minnesota lol. I will say the mac and cheese was really awesome, and the overall food was great.

Walking up to…read morethe restaurant, it seemed like there would be a small wait, but luckily for us, a table just opened up as we walked through the doors. Even with how busy the place was, I didn't find the service to be too slow. The food took about 10 minutes to come out. Cheese Curds ($12.50) - Interesting curds. They're covered and fried in a leavened waffle batter, which gives a more airy type of crisp on the outside. It's more robust than normal cheese curd batter, but has that lighter and softer waffle crunch. The texture inside is right in between being soft and gooey but has enough firmness for a slight squeaky behavior. I actually don't prefer this texture - I massively prefer one extreme or the other, either completely squeaky, or completely softened and melted. The curds are all separated with some mini batter nubs spread around for extra crunch. The curds comes with a ranch dip that has fresh herbs in buttermilk and for some reason reminds me of thousand island in taste. (4/5) 18-hr Porketta ($17.50) + Fries Upgrade (+$2.50) - This is a very simple sandwich with Northbound's famous 18 hour porketta, some Swiss cheese melted on top, and finally some softened sliced onion in a brioche bun. The porketta is essentially pulled pork and is lean with basically no fat. It's seasoned well with a good fennel and spiced aroma The flavors are quite pronounced and while the pork is relatively tender for the cut, some fat would do some major justice. The fries are mediocre. They are clearly hand cut and fried in house, but they are a little underfried since the interiors are firm rather than fluffy and they are floppy in texture. Meh. The porketta comes with a sauce that's fruity, tangy, and acidic. It's surprisingly great for the cheese curds since the curds are so heavy and fatty. (4/5) Overall I found the food at Northbound to be good enough but nothing particularly outstanding. I certainly don't think it was worth the 45 minute round trip drive. but I wouldn't mind eating there again if I happened to be in the area in the future. Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5 Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms
