    Crispy Shrimp Appetizer
    Till W.

    The kid's menu is good. Each kid's menu selection came with a fruit pouch and apple juice! We were staying at a hotel nearby and this Hawaiian restaurant was across the street within walking distance. I wasn't too hungry so I got the Crispy Shrimp as an appetizer and my husband shared his other spam musubi with me. I really loved the circular shape and texture of my shrimp! Although my husband didn't like his fish entree that be picked, I liked what I picked! They were busy inside the restaurant, so it took awhile to get our order. I saw a lot of people come in from ordering online so to save time, you could consider doing the same. The cashiers were really friendly but one of them said my plastics forks were put in the bag, but we found none when we got to our hotel.

    Chicken mix plate
    Vanessa G.

    I couldn't pass up the great weather yesterday, and enjoyed lunch on the patio. I had the chicken mix meal and subbed one rice scoop for an extra macaroni scoop. It was great. I took half home to go. The sauces are yummy. The service was quick. I got here right at 11 and there were already people ahead of me. Its always very busy here, so plan wisely. The inside seating is nice, but I prefer to sit outside. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time.

    Aloha BBQ Beef Plate for $12.99 Aloha Crispy Shrimp Plate for $12.99

    This is a busy plaza. Came during a weekend night. The place gets packed during dinner time. Place appeared really clean. Ordered the Aloha BBQ Beef Plate for $12.99 and Aloha Crispy Shrimp Plate for $12.99. Each plate has salad and three scoops of rice. They came out hot. The BBQ Beef was really good, especially when you slathered it with the teriyaki sauce. They give you six pieces of Crispy Shrimps. The shrimps tasted much better with their signature Ono sauce. The sauces were near the soda dispenser and it's self served. Food came out hot and delicious. Wouldn't mind coming back.

    Hawaiian BBQ chicken (burnt).

    My favorite was BBQ chicken, however it was burnt in this place. Careless cooking!! I was dissatisfied.

    Chicken & Beef Mix
    Mia D.

    Large portion sizes!! Both the chicken and the galbi were rich and savory and exactly what I needed. I am usually picky on my mac salad but this one was super good.

    When my Hawaiian bbq craving was kicking in and I had to look for a place near by, this popped up on my drive and it looked like I place I had to try out. They have all the goodies when it comes to Hawaiian bbq, the Mac salad, all the bbq chicken, beef and seafood. I decided to try the BBQ platter which comes with bbq chicken, beef and short ribs. Along with it, you get some rice and macaroni salad. The food came out shortly and it was good. Personally I just didn't think the food was hot since most of the items are par cooked when they stay out a little they get dry and hard on the inside. The flavor of the bbq beef was my favorite. The seating area inside is nice and clean, you will get your fix here for Hawaiian bbq, to me it just falls under the daily average when it comes to Hawaiian bbq.

    Conveniently located near Disneyland & KHS and open until 9pm on the weekdays; I'm thankful for Ono! They have multiple locations and I have no issues with the price. Yes, portions could be bigger but I know the cost of everything has yet to go down. $14.49 for the chicken & beef combo which comes with the standard mac & rice. They do not have protein a la carte but I was able to add an extra portion of chicken to the meal for $3.80 as suggested by the cashier. No gripes here on customer service, they were very helpful and the transaction was smooth. Upbeat music, med volume, no tables to eat outside though...in case you need to decompress from Disney. Lol

    Really? This is what you call a Spam Musubi (2 pcs)!?!??!
    Cecille L.

    $7 for an order that comes with 2 spam musubi. Sounds great, right? It's my daughter's regular item and she orders it all the time. Imagine our shock when we opened the box and saw two very tiny spam musubis. I have to say that they didn't skimp on the slice of spam, but for the rice? Where the heck was it? The whole thing was less than an inch thick. You can NOT serve a Polynesian a smidgen of rice in a spam musubi! So disappointing!!!

    Delicious and fresh hot teriyaki chicken with grilled chicken for kids meal the Keiki meal Deal. Perfectly paired with treetop mixed berry sauce and apple juice. The fried white fish goes well with their teriyaki chicken and rice and add some hot sauce for extra flavor with some kick. So Good. Eat it while it's still piping hot today. A local favorite with all the tourists and local residents too. Everything for under $25 bucks what a wonderful deal. Wash it down with your favorite Hawaiian drink and you will be very happy tonight. Enjoy.

    They messed up our order, they were supposed to give us Hawaiian BBQ Mix, meaning a piece of Chicken katsu / chicken teriyaki/ short ribs, they gave us the short ribs combo, overall the customer service was good, the food was delicious. Pricing : Hawaiian bbq mix $16.49 Kalbi short ribs $16.99

    Overall, it's not terrible. It's definitely overrated but a good quick meal on the go and it was by my hotel. If you're an islander like me, it made sense to go back for any of the spam dish and fresh coconut juice. The barbecue beef and chicken were not really worth the calories unless you're in need of a quick protein intake. The staff was always friendly and quick with service at this location!

    Island Fire Chicken
    Alexander F.

    Love the clean aesthetic of the local, very tasteful ambience. The service was efficient, especially with multiple orders being made. Food quality was fantastic, perfectly seasoned. Between the high quality meat and proportions it makes you want to go back the next day. My only beef with them is I couldn't get one spam musubi and one chicken. I am allergic to pork so it was a bummer I couldn't try the musubi

    Chicken Katsu Mini Meal
    Victor D.

    I ordered a chicken katsu mini meal with a side of island fire chicken. The service was really good and the wait wasn't long. The island fire chicken is my personal favorite but it is spicy so if you don't do spicy, then the chicken katsu is good. The mini meal comes with a scoop of rice and macaroni salad. The macaroni salad is also great. There is seating inside and it was kept clean.

    First time trying snap musubi - so neatly packaged!

He told us they were short staffed due to someone calling out for an emergency, and yet the whole time we felt well taken care of. Manny had great recommendations, was thoughtful and funny, and made us feel at home. We also met Paul, who was working the bar and also as an expo, and made wonderful cocktails. He even offered to make us something off-menu, and had mentioned that one of the drinks he had tried while making those off-menu drinks didn't turn out. The fact that he was so dedicated to making something we would enjoy based on our tastes that he wouldn't accept a sub-par drink really means a lot. He was also kind and fun, and we would absolutely drink the rest of the bar menu. The food was also great, I got a dozen oysters that were fresh and briny, my wife and I shared the Parker rolls, and we had sea bass and skirt steak that were each beautifully prepared and not too heavy. Funny enough if I had one note it would be that you couldn't cut the steak with the steak knives... because the steak knives were a little dull and not serrated. BUT we discovered you could easily cut the steak with a butter knife - that's how tender it was. Honestly while the food was great, the people who work here are the real sell. They're so cool and dang nice, we look forward to coming back!
