Came here for a quick pick up lunch during my work week. It was past the lunch rush at around 3pm ish so it wasn't busy inside. The interior was pretty clean and orange colored walls all around. I ordered a two item combo with white fish and teriyaki chicken. My order came out in about 10 mins. Chicken was very fresh and white fish was super crunchy. It also came with tartar sauce, macaroni salad, and of course white rice. All things inside the place went so well together, like peas and carrots. A place with consistent yummy Hawaiian food that hits the spot! read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Island White Fish & BBQ Chicken Mix - Barbeque Near Me - Alhambra, California

We were craving for Hawaiian food a few days ago and decided to go to Ono Hawaiian BBQ, the one on Valley Blvd. in Alhambra on Sunday. The ambiance was okay, but it was kind of too simple and dull. We ordered two Spam musubi ($6.99 each for 2 pieces), a Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mini meal ($11.29), a Kalua Pork plate lunch ($13.99), and a Kalua Combo ($14.49). My daughters liked the spam musubi, and we got two orders for them, so they each had two big pieces. The Hawaiian BBQ Chicken mini meal wasn't too mini; the portion was great with flavorful BBQ chicken, 1 scoop of rice, 1 scoop of macaroni salad, and vegetables. For my Kalua Pork plate lunch (Hawaii's version of pulled pork), I liked my slow-roasted shredded pulled pork with a bit of smoky flavor. It was served over steamed cabbage. The cabbage was a bit chewy, though. I wish the cabbage could be softer; maybe steam it a bit longer. For the Kalua Combo, besides the Kalua pork, you can pick the second choice of BBQ Chicken, Chicken Katsu, or Teriyaki Chicken. Hubby picked the Chicken Katsu. The portion was big, and it had 2 scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and steamed veggies. You can also customize to have the sides, such as 2 scoops of macaroni salad and one scoop of rice, and one scoop of steamed veggies. (Choose your sides up to 4 for the combo.) The staff was a bit impatient and kept saying "anything else" a few times after my hubby placed his order, but I hadn't ordered any other food for my daughters, my mom, and myself. Other than that, the food came out quickly. read more

We received a coupon for bogo entree which makes it a great deal! I brought my mom as she has never been here before and she had the aloha plate of chicken katsu at $12.49 and I got the kalua pork plate at $13. The portion of meat, rice and salad is huge! Two entree can feed 3 people. Quality was also good and fresh. Tasty and tender overall. Highly recommend! read more

This place is always the best when it comes to the perfect and delicious Teriyaki Chicken. Hands down to the staff for a great and incredible service. The ambiance here was nice and welcoming. They had decorations of Hawaii and it felt like I was actually in Hawaii and it was nice. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and it's my #1 favorite food to eat. It was cooked to the perfect temperature and their serving size was actually a good portion size and I would definitely come back here. Thanks Ono Hawaiian BBQ read more

There is an $8 special right now. 4 pieces of fish. Rice and salad. With a drink comes to under $13. It's really good. Nice restaurant. Helpful and friendly staff. Fairly quick service. Quiet doning area, good for quick meals. I didn't care for their tartar sauce but other sauces very good. read more

Don't use this location, even though I had an order placed they wouldn't let me use the restroom saying I have to wait 3 minutes till they open??? So confused because the door was open and placing an order was fine ..., weird vibe. Use the commonwealth location they're more hospitable read more

This is the best onos in the area. Service is pretty good and the food always come out hot. The vibe is your normal ono so it's exactly what you expect. Parking is easy with a huge lot. Overall: will return for chicken Katsuuuuuu read more

Customer service was horrible, the speed of the food was great though. I had to wait for the cashier to finish a conversation with her friend. After ordering, the cashier decided to leave her station to talk to another friend who was eating. My meal was ready but the cashier was still busy talking for over 5 minutes to her friends. Two ordered were finished being made by the time she notice. I'm never coming back. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Wish it had more beef - Barbeque Near Me - Alhambra, California

See all

Lots of people order the Hawaiian BBQ mix here, which comes with short ribs, beef, and chicken. It's low key a lot of different kind of meat for one person so it's preferable to share that dish. This Ono is in a plaza in Alhambra with a fairly big parking lot, which it shares with other restaurants like Panera Bread. Parking is convenient more or less. The one thing I dislike about this Ono is that the interior is a little boring and too simple! read more

Ordered hawaiian beef with rice and macaroni salad. They gave very cheap poor portions of every item. Especially the beef only served small pieces of beef which appears to be scraps of meat! Would give this place a zero if I could!! Don't recommend buying from here again. Never returning here ever. read more

Chicken masubi is wayy too small. You cant even see it. Its pure rice. No chicken. I will not come back to this store for my lunch break. read more

I decided to grab some Ono's for dinner for me and my husband since I had a coupon earlier today :) Ordering process: I was surprised but I was able to call and place my order for pick up. I called around 2:49 PM, placed the order, and the employee said my order would be ready in 10 or so minutes. The ordering process was soOoO easy since I didn't have to order in person and wait. They also have online ordering available as well, which I may use next time: https://order.onohawaiianbbq.com/ Food: ++Hawaiian BBQ Mix $14.99 - comes with BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef & Kalbi Short Ribs. You can also sub the BBQ chicken for chicken katsu, BBQ Beef or Teriyaki Chicken. -Plate Lunches include 2 scoops of rice, 1 scoop of our famous Macaroni Salad and vegetables. -Fortunately, none of the meat was charred too much. My BBQ chicken was a little toasty on the edges but it was still edible (and not as bad as the other reviews.. but I may have gotten lucky haha). -The two scoops of rice are kinda small, along with the amount of mac salad you get. Amongst the steamed veggies, there was a huge cabbage core that my husband ate lol. The kalbi short ribs were a little on the thinner side but it was properly seasoned. I had nothing to complain with the BBQ Beef. They don't give you too much meat but it's filling and just barely enough for me to share with my husband. ++Large Fountain Drink Coke - $2.69 -The drink size is pretty big. It's more than enough haha. You can choose from coke, diet coke, sprite, water, two Hi-C flavors, and I believe Fanta. Customer Service: It was good on the phone. When I called, I had asked for the Hawaiian BBQ plate and the employee asked me which one/plate, which threw me off. I wasn't looking at the menu since I was out and had been looking at the menu on my phone, but she finally realized I wanted the 'mix' haha. When I came inside the store to pick up, my order was ready.. so they were efficient and accurate on the timing. I handed the female employee my coupon and she had spent a little bit of time reading the coupon (I almost thought she wouldn't honor it). When she rang me up, I wasn't sure how much the Hawaiian BBQ Mix was for so I asked and she told me..but then she mentioned... it costs this much because you got a drink and then she kinda gave her manager a look. Yeah... well I knew that but I wanted to just make sure the cost was correct (you just never know!). Then the two workers (I'm assuming the manager + her) cracked a joke, and then I started feeling a little uncomfortable. Just a little thought, it was pretty pleasant and seamless until then. Cleanliness: The store was clean and a lot of indoor seating was available (since I came at such a random time in the afternoon). Yeah, I think I'll come back if I'm in the area and crave some Ono. I think this place is a hit or miss, but hopefully, they can be more consistent in the future! read more

Food is great, only complaint is that the wait time might be long even if you're the first in line

The kalbe had no taste. The mac salad and rice were ok. Don't waste your money here.

Great food, fresh and filling. I enjoy a variety of their Hawaiian dishes like Kalua pork, BBQ chicken, SPAM Musubi, I also frequently order mini meals as the full combos are filling I always have leftovers. Come here for a quick hearty Hawaiian meal read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Alhambra, California

Hallway to restroom under construction (almost trip over from loose tile). No warning sign until I told their staff about it. She didn't even say anything or apologize and just put the sign when I told her. Customer service at the front was okay (not much smiles as if they were exhausted). Food have always been good when I needed my aloha days. Sometimes it's a bit salty but that's the Hawaiian style, I guess. The condiments area needed to be check often though, box of gloves were dripped with sauce on and in it. Last time, the condiments (teriyaki sauce and katsu sauce) were empty. read more

Scammers used false advertising to get you to come into their store. The snap advertisement clearly says 10/1 - 10/15 and we drove specifically this location of Onos rather than a closer one for this very deal. The deal that was supposed to last two weeks apparently only lasted 1 day. read more

I used to come here often because the food was good, but it never sat well with my stomach, so I stopped going. There are just too many orders to prepare, so they reuse the oil and don't clean the grill after cooking each order. Actually, I don't know, but I'm sorry because I like this place's food. read more

Been coming here since before using yelp. I used to come here twice a week every week for years until taking a break around 2016 because the vegetables always had a earthy dirt taste suddenly. But since beginning of 2019 I started coming back and the food has been outstanding and the service has been just plain awesome lunch and dinner time. If for any reason you stopped coming here for the same reason give them another shot. No this is not a paid advertisement lol... I always order the bbq chicken and add spam musubi(s). The food here has honestly been excellent a non-expensive escape of everyday cooking. Teriyaki sauce - very good somewhat sweeter than normal Haven't tried the beef in a long time but did try the fish once and it was also very good. Crispy and tasty. read more

The good: Ono 'bout you but I love me some yummy Hawaiian bbq! I got a mango orange Hawaiian Sun drink and spam musubi snack (one order came with 2). It was the perfect lunch break food. The spam musubi was delicious and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I'm always under the impression that the spam will be too salty but the rice in the musubi balanced it out. I liked the sauce they had in there too. It wasn't too wet/soft. The spam also had a nice crunch on the outside from their pan frying. It was hot and fresh. I like that the Hawaiian Sun drink isn't carbonated and not overly sweet tasting. The worker here offered teriyaki sauce on the side but I didn't take any. The spam musubi didn't need it at all because it already had the teriyaki sauce inside. This place caters and has multiple locations throughout California and Arizona. The bad: There is no outdoor seating/patio dining. The interesting: Ono means delicious in Hawaiian and this place was delicious indeed. read more

The cook actually served us two orders that were too burnt to eat. I will not go back to the Alhambra Ono Hawaiian BBQ for a while!!! read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken was burnt on both sides and not edible! I bought 2 plates that were the same and very disappointed! - Barbeque Near Me - Alhambra, California

I stopped coming here because they have gotten my order wrong so many times in the past but decided to maybe give it one more try even though I have given them a one star rating in the past. After that review, there were several times where I have came and they gave me the wrong order, didn't check until I got home. (I'm under the impression that they give me the wrong order because I gave them a one star previously). After the first or second time getting my order wrong, okay.. but for a third time? Come on. If you got people's orders right then they wouldn't be here leaving you one star reviews on THEIR EXPERIENCE. I've given this place many chances but today was the last straw. Ordered an aloha plate and picked bbq beef and Katsu, no veggies and substitute for more mac. Got NO MAC and NO BBQ BEEF.. I got some different chicken that was spicy. I paid extra for bbq beef and didn't even get bbq beef. Definitely will steer clear of this location. MY TIP: Make sure your order is correct before leaving. TIP TO THE ESTABLISHMENT: Always have the cashier double check to make sure the order is correct. read more

I went on a Monday night in April to use the bogo coupon on katsu or bbq chicken plate. I tried to do phone order and no answer instead I drove there to order in person. The place wasn't busy at 4pm and ordered one of each. While waiting, the cashier has plexi glass and arrows on the floor. The wait wasn't too long and food was ready. The katsu wasn't too greasy instead juicy and enough for 2 people to share. The macaroni salad was good too. I usually don't eat cabbage and it was moist and crunchy not too soggy. Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

They made a mistake on my order .and when I returned, the cook was rude and upset about it and still didn't get the order correctly.

What a scam. Island white fish is just frozen breaded fish sticks. The salad is not even green salad. It's cabbage sprinkled with some cheap orange dressing. The cook was shouting jokes to the guy at the counter in Mexican. Terrible attitudes. I left the food on the table and walked out. read more

I always buy chicken katsu, but the taste is so different as i went their few months back.

Very good , fresh , and serve a lot of food . Only issue was the drink fountain , need to update or replace :)

The food was ready as promised. Staff not overly friendly but average. Location clean. Food was good but portion seemed a little sparse.

Whenever I come here, there's always a bad vibe to this place. Whenever I ordered the bqq chicken, sometimes it's too burnt to eat which it makes not worth the price. And usually most other places, the employees always smile and greet us who are the customers which they all should do to make the customers feel good and will always come back for more. Which this place especially right now, they all have a unwelcome face and especially their shift leader who goes by the name, Miguel always have the kind of face that looks rude and not fit to give people service. This makes us feel like, this place is a dmv and not a fast food restaurant kind of feeling. I won't be coming back to this place for a while now. I'm sorry! read more
