From the Poke to the owners I can't say enough about this place. The owners hail from Hawaii and are the nicest people. Always friendly and welcoming when you arrive and the food is spot on and a nice switch from the usual cuisines offered locally. I always get the poke, the salmon or tuna and both are always tasty and plentiful. Break out of the usual and give this place a try. read more

Ok, authentic Korean joint at Matawan?? I was skeptical, but the food blew me away. Every single dish was on point. The spicy pork bulgogi - so flavorful. The salmon - perfectly tender. Great portions as well. I need to try the wings (20 mins wait, but I'm sure it'll be worth it). Note: they're going to be closed for about a month, check with them before you dash to eat. read more

Wife and I got take out recently and were very pleased. Both of us got a Doshirak, which is a Korean lunch box. The Doshirak comes with your choice of protein plus japchae, mandoo, soup, salad, white rice, and edamame. I got spicy garlic chicken and my wife got beef bulgogi. Both of them were very good but my preference was the spicy garlic chicken. Price for the beef bulgogi was $20. Price for the spicy garlic chicken was $22. Those prices make you long for what it might have cost 5-6 years ago but these are different times. With everything that they give you, it feels like you're getting your money's worth. Definitely will revisit again. read more

Ono Korean BBQ is easily a new favorite of mine! I got to try the spicy pork bulgogi lunch box and I was super impressed. This dish comes with a variety of sides including soup, salad, rice, and more. Everything was great and the pork bulgogi was well done and had a smoky flavor. We also had the jumbo shrimp shumai as an appetizer. It comes out nice and hot, the filling is yummy and the exterior is the perfect amount of crunchy. This place easily provided the best customer service I have ever experienced. The employee here brought out food to our table very quickly, always checked on how we were doing, and went above and beyond in every way possible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is cozy and casual, but overall I really enjoyed dining here and I cannot wait to come back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Chicken katsu ... I was surprised when I I got my food because the guy across from me got the same thing and it look delicious.The chicken that I received was still discolored inside and look like it came from a freezer like Tyson or some brand like that. I was disappointed with that for the price I paid. Also my meal came with sautéed spinach and it was cold like they just took it out of the fridge. I had super high hopes for this place but came out disappointed. read more

Maybe this place is too authentic for me. I didn't love the flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Glorified take-out place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fried dumplings were nothing special, Had Beef Bulgogi for main course. The meat (rib-eye) was chewy. And that's a big no-no. That came with a bunch of sides, some were good, some just OK. The flavors were new to me. Maybe they would grow on me, but I will never know, because I won't be back. read more

Ono Korean Barbeque - Kal Kalbi Lunch Box. Ate half of it before the picture because it tasted so good - Korean Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

The owner is lovely -- very kind & generous woman. I chose the garlic chicken entree which comes with four sides, but she gave me a salad and japchae to try as well which were both great. I loved the soy potatoes and the kimchi the most. Their kimchi tasted very unique to me in the best way, it was a mild spice and had more of a garlic flavor to it which I really enjoyed. The chicken was crispy, garlicky, and delicious, I ate my whole plate. I will definitely be back again for this dish. read more

If you're looking for good size portions of authentic Korean food, this is the place. Found this place on accident, but it was a very happy one. They're platters are full to the brim with a different sides, meat and rice. It's honestly everything you can ask for in a meal. The service was absolutely wonderful, the woman at the register was telling us about which items were the best sellers, and how they were made. She also gave us recommendations on what drinks we should get along side our platters. Out of everything we tried the win for the night was definitely the spicy garlic chicken. Definitely a place I would want to come back to. The only downside is the seating wasn't super great and even if you were eating and you got takeout containers. read more

Food was absolutely amazing, the owners are warm and friendly! Can't wait to go back.

We tried them for delivery, everything was delicious! Veggie Bibimbap, chicken katsu, SO excited they offer both brown and black rice - black is our fav though$3 up-charge is a bit much, when an entire bag of black rice at Whole Foods is only $7 and definitely much cheaper at restaurant supply. Kimchi and all of the sides we tried were so good; braised potatoes, Japchae and especially loved the pickled Daikon which paired well with the fried chicken as it cuts the fat. Our only negatives - the high up-charge for brown or black rice, as well it's a $1.50 for a tiny side of sauce. Also, they packaged the nice crispy chicken katsu on-top of the hot, steamy rice so it was no longer crispy katsu.. please wrap it in foil or pack separate so you can enjoy that crispy chicken in take out. Can't wait to try some other dishes! Give them a try! read more

Food is pretty good. BUT, today when I dined in, they tried to charge me 20% automatic service charge, which is not announced beforehand or presented anywhere in the store. Background knowledge: there was no waiter/waitress, the owner brought our food and water. The OWNER wanted me to tip her for her service, which is absolutely insane and unreasonable to me. As the owner, you are making profits for selling your food already, and a tip is for underpaid waiters/waitresses to make up for their living wage. The most unacceptable thing in this unpleasant encounter was that when I argued about it, the owner blatantly rolled her eyes at me like I was the crazy one (yeah lady, I saw that). I am very disappointed in how the owner behaved today, and probably wont return in the future, not even for take-outs. read more

Obsessed. Oh how I wish this place was closer to Morristown. Can you guys have a second location? This place is heaven for me - all of my favorite foods. Ramen, rice cakes, bubble tea, kimchi, sushi/poke, dumplings. Delicious Asian comfort foods. I was in the area and I stopped in for lunch. I had the ra-bokki (ramen and rice cakes). Omg. Perfect sweet and spicy balance. Perfect chew on the rice cakes. Great portion where I was able to take a little home (love Korean left overs!). This place is amazing. More for take out, but they do have a decent amount of tables. Person who was working at the counter was very nice! Thank you for your delicious food!!! read more

First time I came a few months back it was good so I went to try again however I called over the phone for my exact order of kalbi bibimbap that I got last time but person on the phone confused it for beef kimbap somehow. Once I brought it up to the cashier she tried to say that's what I ordered on the phone and I informed her it wasn't; it was a completely different meat and meal unfortunately since it seemed she wasn't going to resolve it I was too hungry so I ended up taking it to give it a try however it wasn't very good. So I guess try at your own risk and possibly do online order and maybe you'll have more luck. read more

Ono Korean Barbeque - Garlic Chicken, Bubble Tea (16 oz) - Korean Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

I've been wanting to give this place a try for a while. I love Korean food and was happy that there was one in the area that I haven't tried yet. The restaurant is small, but comfortable. Along the leftmost wall are large framed pictures of food, while the ordering counter and kitchen is located on the right side of the place. Screens displaying the menu adorn the top of the wall behind the counter, but individual menus are given out to customers. This place is more like a hole-in-the wall kind of ambience and I love that because I know the food will be good. Daughter ordered the tuna and salmon poke with spicy chili oil. It was a lot spicier than daughter expected but she liked the burn that it gave her, anyway. While she loved the dish, she said that she's going to tone down the spice next time. LOL. The tuna and salmon poke were fresh. Hubs ordered seafood ramyun. He loved it and loved the fact that they don't use udon and used ramen, instead. He said that he likes jambong and loved this dish even more because ramen was used. Lastly, I ordered the beef bulgogi doshirak. I ordered it in a box because I was curious as to what was in it. Mandu dumplings were delicious. Beef bulgogi was delicious and the japchae was excellent, as well. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu! read more

Veryyyy interesting place. This is was my first time having Korean food so I was pretty fired up. We got a bunch of things the owner suggested to us so we can try the real stuff the food is verrry authentic and so was the vibe inside. They also have Korean wings which I will most likely try next time. Overall the food was very good but I just am not the biggest Korean bbq fan. If you are looking for authentic Lorena food in central jersey this seems like one of the better places to go too knowing that there aren't too many around us. read more

Delicious Korean food! Best in the area, never disappoints. Owners are super friendly and patient when asking questions about the food. Try the bibimbap! read more

Felt like trying something new so found this place. They have very cool dishes here. Had the chicken Katsu with rice and 4 sides. Was delicious! A little fatty but crunch so was good! My boyfriend had the bibimbap and he loved them, though too spicy. It was overall a nice experience but the service is a little slow, but there were only two Employees so it makes sense. Definitely filling. read more

Don't let the unassuming store front trick you...this place is a gem! We ordered takeout on the way to the beach and got the bibimbap and kalbi set. For the set we got to choose the bonchons and each one was delicious. The portions were super generous, we fed three people comfortably with the two orders. They have poke too but I think the Korean food is the way to go. read more

Soooooooo ono. My fave local takeout is a perfect blend of Korean BBQ with a Hawaiian twist. My usual go to is Spicy Pork. I love that you can choose your individual banchan. I wish we could have this every day. The meals are pretty generous, we can definitely get two meals from them. I haven't had a chance to try all the other menu items but look forward to it. Highly recommended if you're craving Korean food! Ps. They have bubble tea, but it is only in frozen slushy form. read more

I was so excited to find Ono Korean BBQ! I have family in Hawaii and we are constantly wishing for a delicious plate lunch. Tonight I had the pork tonkatsu entree which was delicious and plentiful. Everything is made to order. The pork was crispy and fresh. I could only eat half of it. I had kimchee, tofu, japchae and bean curd. All good japchae could use a little more flavor. The restaurant is clean and seats about 25 people (5-6) tables. While I was eating, several patrons came in but had to takeout because all the tables were full. I'm happy that business is good! I will definitely be back with my husband! PS. When you go in just take a seat. Someone will come take your order. read more

Ono is one of my favorite spots! I love the bibimbap which I get with brown rice and tofu. The veggies are bountiful and it gives you a nice variety in every bite. Their side dishes are also amazing- my favorites are the pickled radish and marinated potatoes. The lunch boxes are a great deal as well, my husband loves the BBQ chicken and chicken katsu (panko fried chicken). The vegetable dumpling appetizer is a must-have every time I order here. Overall I highly recommend this place for delicious food, great flavor, and fast takeout/delivery! read more

BEST Korean/Asian Takeout I've had in a while! I've heard nothing but great words about this place, so I knew I had to try it for myself. At first glance, everything on the menu looked delicious and I didn't know what to choose. I had ordered the SPICY BULGOGI, and my companion had ordered the POKE BOWL. The serving sizes were very generous, most especially that of the Spicy Bulgogi. The spice level did have a nice kick to it, but I especially enjoyed the various side dishes you were able to choose from for the item. I had gotten: Mac Salad, Fish Cake, Greens & Kimchi. I'm usually not a fan of Mac Salad, but I think this was my favorite side dish out of all of them. As for the Poke Bowl--although it may have lacked in an overload of sauces as compared to other Poke Places, the flavor most especially did not lack. The bowl was absolutely delicious and filled with various ingredients. Both were very enjoyable. I highly recommend these two dishes! I'm looking very forward to coming back soon! read more

When we first found this gem, we were ecstatic. It supplies two things that are very rare in this area: Korean food and bubble tea. Their bubble tea slushes are great, especially the thai ice tea flavor. The sides are delicious. Our favorites are the fish cakes, potatoes, and japchae (glass noodles). We usually double up on those. I highly recommend this spot to anyone. Would have taken some pics, but always forget to before eating the food :P read more

We ordered ahead thinking there was indoor seating however it's been removed so plan on eating at home but don't let that deter you because their food is wonderful. If you've never had Korean food get bimbimbap which is the best introduction because it has so many different flavors & textures and the portions are huge so you'll probably have leftovers. Can't wait to go back. read more

The food here is phenomenal! Came here with a group of 4 based on a recommendation from someone in our group. They frequent here, and I now see why. The food is just so fresh, tasty, and satisfying. We started off with some apps: dumplings, chicken wings, and seaweed...all which were amazing. I would actually order all three of them again. As far as food, I got the garlic chicken which was pure perfection. I got to try everyone else's food, and I surprisingly liked every single one. Nothing was short of delicious. I am usually the type of person to stick to one thing at a restaurant, for the most part, but this is the type of place you don't have to worry about not liking other dishes. It's all good! One of the best selling points is that this place is BYOB. The decoration is modest, and the space isn't that big, but its definitely an awesome place to go with friends or family. Definitely happy I was introduced to this place and i will definitely be coming here again. read more
