    Loved the poke here. Fresh ingredients, clean taste, and everything seasoned just right. The entire staff were super friendly. Plenty of seating. Parking is a little tough but it's worth the visit.

    Of Birmingham's multiple Ono Poke locations, this one may be my new favorite! The cashiers are all very friendly, the food comes out quickly, and the inside is clean and has a cute vibe! I always order a regular-size build-your-own bowl with usually the exact same protein and toppings. This time I added the Hot Cheetos on top, it was surprisingly really good. In my opinion, the bowls are a great value- they're filling and piled high with fresh toppings and seafood (or chicken/tofu).

    Tuna poke.  Fries with rice seasoning.

    Just opened 2/27 and its a great addition to hoover food scene. Ono poke has several locations around town and is definitely the best poke around. The staff was super friendly. The place was shiny and newn with a cool vibe. The poke is always fresh and delicious. I love how the tuna is marinated unlike many other sushi and poke places. Imo fruit always makes poke better and the pineapple really adds to the bowls. The fries had rice seasoning which i never tried before but really liked, but they could've definitely been hotter. Wife got the glazed chicken bowl and chicken it was decent but i would stick with the salmon or tuna or spicy tuna if u eat raw fish.

    Fresh, healthy, and delicious food. Plus great customer service. I'm in town visiting family and this will be my go-to spot moving forward.

    I've been passing this restaurant for over a decade and always think to myself. I'd like to try it…read more So on a Sunday afternoon , my son and I decided to give it a whirl. Because this is in the same parking lot as first watch, which is a breakfast/lunch restaurant the parking lot was pretty packed. We got there around 12 and luckily he was able to find a parking spot. As soon as we walked in, we could tell it was pretty busy in there. I saw a couple getting up from a table and immediately went over and sat at the table. It is table service, but you do have to order at the counter. They have a pretty good variety of burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads. Unfortunately, due to an outbreak for lettuce that is getting people sick I decided against getting a salad. I just got a regular cheeseburger and it was delicious. My son also got a buffalo chicken sandwich which I must say was a very good size sandwich and a burger with tater tots. I got the french fries and they were very good. I will definitely be back here. The prices were great, and the food was delicious.

    Baja Burger may want to gather the staff together and have a difficult conversation about the word…read more"burger" being in the restaurant name. Because when I walked in and asked the very nice guy at the register what their best item was, he didn't hesitate for even half a second. "Fried chicken club sandwich. Hands down." Not "one of our burgers." Not "depends what you like." Nope. Immediate confidence. The kind of confidence that makes you trust a stranger with your financial future. So naturally I ordered exactly that. He even doubled down and told me it was the best sandwich he's ever had. Ever. That's a dangerous level of hype to put on a chicken sandwich. At that point I wasn't ordering lunch anymore. I was preparing for a spiritual experience. I got the sweet potato fries on the side and sat there waiting like a kid staring at the oven on Christmas morning. Then the sandwich arrived. And honestly? Visually, this thing deserved its own entrance music. Beautiful sandwich. Crispy golden chicken, stacked perfectly, looked like it had been assembled by a food stylist with relationship issues. I took the first bite and immediately realized what was wrong. Flavor had called in sick. The chicken itself was cooked perfectly. Great crunch. Juicy inside. Beautiful breading. But somehow nobody introduced it to salt, pepper, seasoning, spices, or joy. It tasted like the kitchen spent all their energy making it look incredible and forgot the whole "taste" portion of the assignment. My colleague ordered the exact same thing and had the exact same reaction, which honestly made me feel better because for a second I thought COVID had made a surprise comeback. The sandwich was one shake of Cajun seasoning away from greatness. The sweet potato fries were solid flavor-wise, but a little limp. Not tragic. Just lacking that crispness that makes you keep stealing fries after you're already full. This place feels like a really good concept that just needs somebody in the kitchen to become emotionally invested in seasoning. Three stars feels fair. Nothing was bad. Nothing offended me. It was just aggressively average after being introduced with Super Bowl-level hype. I'd come back, but next time I'm ordering an actual burger at the place called Baja Burger. Feels like that's probably the safer bet.
