Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken Katsu Mini Meal

My cousin really liked this place so we swung by the drive thru to pick up some food. She got the…read moreChicken Katsu plate and I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Beef plate. Both plates also come with rice, veggies, and mac salad. You could also ask to substitute one of the rice scoops for a mac salad or vice versa for more rice. Wait time was a little long in the drive thru, there were a couple of cars in front of us while we were in line. It's probably because everything is made to order and there were many orders in line and inside.I can't comment on the service inside the place and the atmosphere there, so it will just be about the food. Everything we ordered was very delicious. I tried some of the Chicken Katsu and it was tasty, it had a nice crisp and it also came with katsu sauce too. But for me, the Hawaiian BBQ was the star of the show. The beef was flavorful, it was chewy, and I have no complaints. I'm also very particular about mac salad, but I really liked this one. It wasn't too sweet, sauce was light, and tasted slightly savory which I preferred. The veggies were a nice touch too, the cabbage was crunchy and refreshing. I would absolutely recommend this place to people if they want to get some hawaiian plate lunch or if they want to eat something good.

The delivery went well in a timely Manor Packaging was good,…read moreThe food was taste. The Mac salad and rice were also good. The BBQ meat in all 3 meals were taste BUT OVER. OOOKED &TOUGH that's why 3 stars

I'm from Hawaii and have been eating poke my entire life. Poke is my #1 favorite food, so here's my…read morehonest review of Tropicali. Even though some local Hawaiians have bashed this place, I don't think Tropicali is trying to be a mainland "poke salad bar." They understand what real poke is: marinated fish and rice. That said, they don't really have the traditional Hawaiian poke flavors, except for the Pele Bowl, which has a shoyu-based spicy mayo and wasabi flavor. I got the Cabo Bowl, which tasted like a mix of spicy mayo and Mexican-style spicy ceviche. It was definitely different, but still good. Personally, I prefer traditional Hawaii poke flavors, but I can understand why Tropicali is ranked so highly on Yelp. They have a great sense of aloha, and their poke is legitimate than what you usually find at most mainland poke spots.

If you're in Big Bear this is a must if you want some of the best poke around outside of Hawaii!!!…read moreThe moment you walk in you're greeted and the service is amazing. You first get in line and order your food and drinks while they make it. Then they'll call your name to pick it up. The ambiance is out of this world and super cool. The vibes are great and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Probably some of the best decor around at this restaurant. Now let's get to the food.. I ordered the KRAKATOA- salmon with spicy ahi and it was delicious! So fresh and clean and reminded me of being back home even though it was Big Bear. Also the island style cold brew was to die for! It has coco mac but which made the cold brew so good.. trust me give it a try if you love cold brews like me. This is a must try if you're in Big Bear, you won't get disappointed!!!

Who doesn't love a tiki cocktail? If you don't, I can only assume you just haven't met the right…read morerum yet. Tiki bars make my favorite drinks because they're built from layers of flavor, history, and pure tropical fantasy. The moment I take a sip, I feel like I've washed up on Gilligan's Island and the Professor is waiting for me and about to build me something out of coconuts and bamboo. Step inside and the world shifts: dim with warm lantern lighting, vintage exotica in the background, and instantly my mini vacation begins. The drinks are strong and sneaky. There's a kitchen serving Cantonese-inspired plates, which I fully intend to try next time because of course we showed up already full like amateurs. But it's a great excuse to come back...as if I needed one.

Came here on a Saturday around midnight for a quick cocktail. The bar closed at 1am so not many…read morepeople were there. We sat at the bar and gave our order to the tender (pain killer and another drink with coconut cream). There were 2 guys behind the bar and one of them dropped a bottle and it shattered everywhere. The guy who took our order started cleaning it up as the one who dropped it kept talking to another client at the bar railing. It took about 20 minutes for the guy to start making our 2 drinks and when we finally got them, it was waaaay to sweet, ended up drinking maybe a third of it, closed out and left. This morning we woke up to both of our stomachs upside down!

It's located in the Theron's Marketplace & Deli food hall. It's one of the stalls there and if…read morethere isn't someone there, one of the workers at the other stalls can run over to help you. That's what happened when we were there. For $15 you can get the XL plate and it comes with ALL the meat offered, rice, and mac salad. For the XL plate we got: 1) Teriyaki Chicken: -This did not come with enough sauce in with itself, so I had to take some of the sauce from the teriyaki beef side. -Chicken was kinda dry and not very appealing texturally for me. -A bit too chicken-y if that makes sense. This was my least fav of the meat trio. 2) Pulled Pork: -On its own, pretty dry but I can taste the kalua pork inspiration. Simple flavor, with very slight salt added to it. -But because of how dry it was, I had to rely on the mac salad to enhance this... 3) Teriyaki Beef: -Probably my favorite of the 3 meats. -This one had the most flavor to it and was sauced perfectly. -Teriyaki sauce was the perfect medium of savory and sweet. -However, this meat was also a bit dry and tough, but not as much as the other 2. 4) Mac Salad: -You can never go wrong with Mac Salad and this definitely made some of the meats more palatable, but there wasn't enough to make it THAT much better. Maybe it's because we came 30 min right before closing or my expectations were much too high as a Hawaiian fast food enjoyer, but I was a bit disappointed and didn't eat much of this dinner. Maybe I'll go back to try their shaved ice, but right now I'm gonna pass on this place for a bit.

Not Hawaiian shaved ice Not even good shaved ice…read more I got a Hawaiian Volcano and at best it was strawberries and cream diluted ice Also. Tiny spoons and half size straw. Was pretty disappointed and wanted to ask for my money back. Visited Saturday at 5 and ordered 3 shaved ice
