According to the reviews, this place is not good, so maybe I came on their best day ever because the food was DELICIOUS. I agree with the reviews on service--it does feel a bit rushed. Most likely due to their location, they have a double-pane glass between you and the cashier, and the speaker they use cuts off every other word, so it was hard to place the order. But other than that, the food was amazing, and the order only took 10-15 minutes to come out. My husband and I are Hawaiian food aficionados. We LOVE to find good locations like this. This one in particular still has 2020 prices because you CANNOT get a full meal like this for under $15 anywhere anymore. We ordered the BBQ Mix, all rice, no cabbage. The beef and rib were probably the best I've ever had. The meat was not dry, and the rib was a huge piece. It feels like anywhere else you go, the meat is paper thin. I also ordered the Seafood Mix with chicken, but instead of the teriyaki chicken I requested the katsu chicken. I regretted that decision until the food came out. I thought it would be too much fried food, but once I started eating, it was perfect. My husband loved the katsu, so we traded some katsu for his beef. We had so much food that even after sharing with our 6yo, we still had enough to take home and feed our husky a nice treat. Imagine getting all that food for $14 a plate?! Service was okay, but we didn't interact with her much. It's an order-at-the-window and sit-down kind of place--nothing out of the ordinary in my eyes. read more

Great spot to pick up some casual Hawaiian food with big portions! I was shopping nearby at Walmart and decided to grab takeout from Ohana for dinner. I came by Sunday around 7 pm and it wasn't busy. It's a casual spot with plenty of tables for dine in. The menu has all of the typical Hawaiian dishes like various musubi, loco moco, bbq short ribs, etc. I got the Ohana bbq mix plate for $13.45 and subbed out mac salad for steamed veggies. My bqq mix plate came with 3 meats: bbq chicken, bbq beef, and bbq short ribs. All of the meats were delicious and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Plus portions were huge and there was enough meat to last me for two meals. I come to this area to shop pretty often with the Walmart and Costco nearby, so I'm sure I'll be coming back to Ohana again. read more

We were next door at Dollar Tree. The line was so long that my wife decided to walk over to Ohana and grab us a snack. She bought us some Spam Musubi. The Spam Musubi tasted fine. Not the best or the worst we've eaten. Just A-Okay. Cannot comment on the other Hawaiian food they make, but when we do try their other offerings I will update my review. read more

Called in an order, which took some time. When I got there 10 minutes later, the food was ready. Definitely below-average Hawaiian food. The beef was dry, chewy, and flavorless. Mac salad was limp and lacked flavor. How do you screw up Mac salad? It's a Hawaiian staple. Service was rude. I couldn't really hear her because of her mask and the glass separator. Guess I took too long with the credit card machine because she asked "You speak English or Chinese?". Dumb a$$ - I just asked for my order in English. Very rude. There's many other Hawaiian food places where you can get better food without being insulted. read more

I wouldn't call it good or bad but * the fish tasted like it could have been frozen which means the fish plater wasn't fresh fish. * the batter had no seasoning * macaroni didn't taste fresh * the lighting was dim in the place maybe PGE check would help I'm not being critical.

Ohana Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken BBQ Mix - Barbeque Near Me - San Leandro, California

My favorite Ohana is in El Sobrante, CA. Quality/Quantity - Needed a snack while doing my chores and decided on chicken musubis, but it ended up as a meal because they are sold in pairs. Overall good proportions. Less rice than in the past, but also less chicken. Less chicken both in width and thickness. Either way, it was more than enough food for me. Chicken was moist and juicy. I also like the fact that they leave the skin on for that extra flavor. Lastly, they are made to order, to ensure freshness but be prepared to wait a little. Atmosphere - In the past (5+ years ago) this location did whatever they wanted with the menu, not sure how they got away with it as this is a franchise? Good to see some "corporate" consistency now. But as you can see from the pictures and the excessive menus everywhere, they are still somewhat going by their own book. Service - Good. I like the fact that they gave me a bag, fork, knife and napkins without asking. Price - $6. Owner Comment - Hmmm, maybe you are not a franchise? Maybe a license model? This would explain why they are so different from the other Ohanas. read more

Lunch after 18 hole golf close by. This is not our first time at Ohana. We ate here many times during pandemic but we ordered to go and ate outdoors. This is our first time actually eating indoors at Ohana. I ordered Chicken Katsu Lunch Plate and substituted extra scoop of macaroni salad for the rice. The service is fairly good. The eating area is not your cleanliest! We moved some tables so we could sit together and the floors were filthy. The food was piping hot and crispy and I asked for an extra sauce for the katsu and they were very accommodating. One other person ordered the Loco Moco Lunch Plate that looked very good too. Overall good food and decent service. read more

We came by for lunch again after golf. Their kiosk working now. Tap the monitor and select what you want to eat & drink. Add tip (optional), enter your name, and pay online. Unbeknownst to us if your order amount is $15 or more you get a free bag of chips. We were glad we got to use the online kiosk which sped up the ordering process.

Ohana Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken Katsu - Barbeque Near Me - San Leandro, California

I was looking at the window sign "coconut soft serve." Not true, they don't serve it any more. Wish they would take it down. Today was hot 85 degrees and coconut soft serve would hit the spot. Got the three meat bbq combo. Big slab of chicken with skin. 1 strip of rib, meaty! The beef was disappointing. Dry and almost like beef jerky. I appreciate not much fat in any of their meats. You actually get meat. 1 scoop of macaroni was okay and 2 scoop of rice. The best part was the very sweet cabbage on the bottom. You got to have good eyes to see the menu above the cashier. I'm sorry for those who might need glasses. I had to go back outside to look at their menu on the window. read more

Needed a quick bite while shopping- but wasn't in the mood for coffee shop pastries nor fast food. This place caught my eye- spam musubi sounded like exactly what I'm craving. 5.50 for an order of two- And they were delicious. Nice balance if rice to salty spam & I waited a few minutes- was impressed these were fresh & piping hot! (The last time I ordered musubi at a different place they had it all Pre-made. ) they offered me sauces but I didn't feel like it needed more flavor. 5.25 for fruit smoothies- nice variety. Service was fast & friendly. Decor is typical uninspired & I wish they sold Ito-en tea or something else non-sweetened. Next time I'll try one of the bowls. People around me seemed to b enjoying theirs. read more

Food is always pretty good quick hot fresh. I love the barbecue chicken musubi can't go wrong. Typically very clean inside and parking is always available. Although you may have to walk from the back lot it's worth it. read more

The wait time can be long if the restaurant is busy. However, the place is pretty spacious so you can fit larger groups. Overall, the bbq combo was fine. The galbi beef rib was marinated deliciously for a fast food joint that I was surprised. The marinate of the pork and chicken had too much soy sauce so that's what you mainly taste and the macaroni salad was thrown in with the rice so it can make a mess if you don't want to eat your salad with your rice. read more

Waiting for my new iPhone to be set up at Verizon, I wandered over to pickup lunch. I've been to Ohana is East Oakland and I knew the menu. It's still take out only. Ordered the Seafood Combo with Short Ribs, a BBQ Chicken Saimen, and Spam Musubi (2x). Got two meals from the combo and ditto with the saimen. The BBQ sauce kinda changed the dashi, but maybe in a unique way. My kid took the musubi, so we will assume they were a win! read more

Located in a busy, busy plaza with Walmart, Home Depot, It's a Grind Coffee & more. I've been here twice now for lunch. The chicken & spam musubis were pretty good but when I got the seafood bbq combo, the short ribs had a lot of fat... The upside is that the food comes out fast and the cashiers are nice but I think you could get better quality meat/pricing elsewhere. The menu area could be cleaned up a little; they have signs posted all over such as smoothie options and random sides like Asian salads. read more

Rating for one star is for cleanliness this place is pilau, filthy and needs a deep clean. We ordered our food and I decided not to let my grandson eat his 2 musubi's. Pictures say a lot and if the front end looks like this imagine the back end. Owners need to take more responsibility and keep up this place. I can't believe people go here to eat. read more

Terrible place. You walk in and there are flies flying everywhere. It's poorly lit because they don't turn on the lights. The service is rude. You can stand there for 5 minutes and they won't even address you. The food is horrible. Salted to the point where you cannot eat it. It's like eating a salt block. Had to throw away my order. The macaroni salad is disgusting. Looks like watered down mayonnaise and macaroni noodles. No vegetables provided in the orders either. Save yourself the horror and find another place. read more

The food is just OK... but they constantly do not give you the sauces. I ordered 2 chicken combos katsu/BBQ chicken not Katsu sauce was in the bag. If you order online or in house to go... check everything. They try there best not to send it with the order. There's not much that makes me upset... Picking up something to go and its wrong or not complete just irritates me to no end! read more

Had to run a work errand at one of the neighboring stores for my boss & she thanked me by treating me to a quick lunch. Booya, baby! I saw this place was nearby, so I chose to go Hawaiian! After all, it's Aloha Friday! Went the basic route & chose the Spam Musubi which is always delicious. Each bite took me back to my recent vacation there in which I have been painfully suffering major island withdrawal like none other! Definitely hit the spot for a quick fix. Their menu has all the usual items you'd expect, from Loco Moco to Katsu Chicken & Kahlua Pork. Friendly & fast service too - you can't go wrong here! Mahalos! read more

Went to this place for lunch after shopping I'm new to Spam Musubi (my Son introduced me to it at Quickly) I loved it so after years of seeing this place I thought I'd try it one of the worse places for Hawaiian food! My husband ordered the Chicken Teriyaki plate and I the Musubi I thought it looked different than what I had before so I told my husband this one looks different and at that same moment a guy was at the counter ordering the Musubi and asked for sauce (extra) she said .75 he said oh no that's ok but you put sauce on it right? She said no it doesn't come with sauce that's extra he said why everywhere else puts sauce on it she said it's extra here - now if they do charge extra for the sauce they should note that it doesn't come with it - it was salty spam with rice and a shribbled up piece of seaweed on on top not good at all!! My husband's teriyaki chicken plate had more fat and skin than meat and the bed of slaw they put it on top of interfered with everything - a small corner of Mac salad was bland and tasted heavily of celery. I wish Yelp had a no star rating because I put more effort in writing this review than they put in my order.. I will never go back there I've much better Hawaiian food in Oakland.. read more

The chicken katsu here is good. Another fave is the chicken combo plate which has both chicken katsu and bbq hawaiian chicken. Flavors are authentic. Only thing is the Asian guy behind the counter at the register isn't friendly. No smile. No "hello" or "thank you". When he's ready to serve the next person he says "next in line". He just calls out order number when the food order is ready and doesn't say anything else. This guy really needs to take a course in customer service and improve his skills. read more

Chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The beef was fatty and cheap quality . This was my least favorite Hawaiian bbq spot

I came here to pick up some food to go for lunch. We ordered the mixed bbq and the katsu chicken special. The mixed BBQ comes with kalbi, chicken, and beef. The combos all came with two large balls of rice, macaroni and pan fried veggies. I asked for extra katsu sauce, because I feel like one wouldnt have been enough for all the food. The portions are very large, particularly for the katsu chicken, I feel that one order of the katsu chicken would be enough for 3 meals because they give you at least one whole chicken breast which is deep fried breaded and sliced. The food came out in 15 minutes, and by the time we got home it was still warm and ready to eat! Great amount of food for under $10 per order. read more

This lady tries to do it all but just can not. She needs help here. She ignored me for about 10 minutes after she did everything else. I can appreciate her hustle but you can't just ignore everyone and do everything but service. My food seemed smaller proportioned to other locations.. The mac was good but didn't have a lot to taste. They charge extra for teriyaki sauce & the bagged ripped from being such cheap quality. Giving the food a 3 and the service a 2. Probably won't come back to location, even though it was someone close but the parking lot also has a lot of people speeding through. read more

Of If I could give less stars I would. Worst fast food I've ever had. I wouldn't be surprised if they had served me a cooked rubber chicken. It was that bad. Macaroni salad was also bad. The rice was ok. I threw away almost all of what I ordered. I'll fly home hungry tonight instead of eating this Ohana garbage. read more

I come here occasionally during a CostCo run (across Davis St) when I don't feel like the CostCo food court. They have the standard Hawaiian plus some additional items like gyoza and Chinese rice plates that are photo'd and taped to the overhead menu area. I've stuck with the Hawaiian side. The last time there I got the BBQ Mix plate ($7.25). The plate looks impressive (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/uezjolRHxb40K0rLibIRoA?select=zoyGM5dfYDO_Wr-8LQF93Q#1zGOGQ6KrWDNgVHHP-WGBg), and there is a good amount of meat, but there is some raw shredded cabbage under the pile of meat that you can see peeking out on the right side of the picture which makes the meat pile look even bigger. The ribs were disappointingly small and fatty with very little meat. My slice with 3 rib bones had maybe 2 bites of meat. What was there tasted OK. 2 stars The chicken is dark meat with the skin on (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/uezjolRHxb40K0rLibIRoA?select=zoyGM5dfYDO_Wr-8LQF93Q#wwsesmJhN5fNEuvAelVGSw). The skin fat is not rendered and is not appetizing. It's easily removed, though, and probably helps to keep the flesh moist. 4 stars w/o the skin. The bbq beef is lean and tender, though a bit dry. 3.5 stars. The macaroni salad is heavy on mayo and not much else going on flavor wise. 2.5 stars. Spam Musubi is OK (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/uezjolRHxb40K0rLibIRoA?select=Zw9Q6_IOYQ56ByzUDDamrw#Zw9Q6_IOYQ56ByzUDDamrw). Could be slightly thicker piece of spam and more teriyaki. 3 stars. The cashiers are smiling and happy providing good vibes. read more

Tonight I walked in with 5 minutes to spare before closing time. I peeked in and asked the girl attending if I could make an order, she checked with someone in the back and I initially said yes. I was going to order the usual seafood combo platter for me and my honey to share but I remembered we were having family over and opted to purchase the family platter. The cashier asked the cook if there was enough for what I ordered since it comes with 3 protein options. "No, dile que ya estamos cerrados." -- no tell her we're closed said the cook in Spanish It was not that he said no, it was that he scrunched up his face and nodded towards me in disgust for even asking. The girl looked at him like, "why do you have to make me the messenger for bad news?" "Yo entiendo lo que dijo y si no me tiene que responder así. Si no quiere despacharme entonces bien, ya me voy " --- I understand what you said and you don't have to answer with that attitude. I just wanted to know if I could order, I'm out." Why would they still keep the light on if they don't want people coming in? I wouldn't have approached the door if I hadn't seen the light on. I had also called 25 min prior to them closing while my honey was at Home Depot and I was with the baby in the car... it rang and rang and no one answered. When I got there BEFORE the closing time, it was empty except for one guy. How hard is it to answer the phone and turn off the OPEN sign? Get it together guys! read more

Open during COVID for takeout and delivery through GrubHub. Had a hankering for Hawaiian bbq and macaroni salad today and am so glad I ordered from these guys. Food arrived hot and tasted super fresh. I ordered the short ribs, bbq chicken and spam musubi. Ohana has always been my go to for Hawaiian bbq. Their bbq chicken is always grilled to perfection and pairs perfectly with their macaroni salad. I wasn't sure if this meal would be up to pre-COVID standards just because a lot of places aren't getting as much turnover so food isn't always as fresh as it usually is. My meal did not disappoint! Everything tasted like it was cooked fresh to order, macaroni and rice were made this morning and cabbage freshly shredded. GrubHub delivery was on time and food arrived hot. Food is also kid friendly as in my picky eater loved the meal as well! This is definitely going on my list of top 5 delivery restaurants for next time I'm not in the mood to cook. read more
