    I was truly surprised how CLEAN this place was. Even though it has been open for quite sometime. The light fixtures were clean down to the ropes that were hanging. I had the child's plate with teriyaki beef. Plenty of food for an adult. I had leftovers and was full. My husband had the short ribs. They were cut thin and piled high. So very tasty and tender. The young lady that took our order was really sweet.

    Chicken Katsu Keiki Meal and bbq beef.

    We ordered today from Ono Hawaiian BBQ for the first time. We got the famous macaroni salad and two beef bbq and two chicken katsu plates. The macaroni salad is really sweet and addicting . We also really liked the beef bbq but the chicken katsu was overcooked and dry. The portions are large so you will have leftovers. I loved the sticky white rice and the bbq sauce. The meal smelled so good when we took it inside the house our dog ran and sat down in front of her plate indicating she was ready for it.

    Island White Fish Ono Keiki Meal

    I ordered the Keiki Meal (Kids Meal) which had broccoli, 1 scoop of rice and 1 piece of white fish. The fish is crispy and so tender you can cut it with the cheap forks and spoons that bend while trying to cut anything more than soup.

    PLASTIC FOUND IN MAC SALAD! Be aware! Had to pull plastic out of mouth since it was white covered in Mayo and camouflage with macaroni salad!

    I ordered the grilled lemon pepper chicken. Comes with steamed rice, macaroni salad and cabbage and broccoli under chicken. Everything comes out fresh. You have to purchase the drink separately. I can eat their macaroni salad everyday. Food is always great here, clean, and wonderful service! This location was at the shopping center off of Calloway Dr.

    Order ahead is an option

    My kids were so hungry that we didn't get a chance to take a picture of the family meal. For a little over $50 bucks, I was able to order all the kids favorites.. chicken katsu, BBQ beef, and the Kalbi ribs. It came with 6 generous scoops of rice and macaroni salad. We still had plenty left over for the next day. It's a nice homestyle Hawaiian BBQ that's definitely comparable to a home cooked meal. And I'm the type that if I'm going to eat out, it better be worth it. The meal here was worth it. Dine Happy, fellow Yelpers!

    Chicken Katsu, BBQ Chicken & Beef

    I visited Hawaii over the summer and fell in love with the food. I did not think that I would find a substitute for Hawaiian Cuisine. Boy was I wrong! This food was sooo good and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend. Staff was helpful and friendly as well. It was busy but we had our food in about 10 minutes.

    This location is awesome and the best one compared to the bad one on Mount Vernon!! The food is so good and fresh compared to other locations I've been to. Kalua pork was sooooo good and fresh. Tasty bbq chicken and beef. White fish was also really good! I wish the Ono's back home tasted this good. They are also clean and following covid safety protocols.

    CHICKEN KATSU PLATE: Crispy outside without being oily and tender inside. $11.79. DELICIOUS!
    Cali A.

    Service: Good. Staff greeted us when we arrived. We made the order online for pick up and our food were ready right on time. I had a quick question after eating lunch and the Staff was helpful n nice. Staff all wore masks; even the one cooking the food. Cleanliness: the place was clean. The bathroom also was clean. Food: we ordered Hawaiian bbq plate which came w 2 scoops of rice n 1 scoop of macaroni tuna salad and 4 pieces of chicken marinaded in their teriyaki sauce. The rice were super good, fluffy and cooked perfectly. Last time I had their rice it was not as good as this time. Chicken katsu was also very good. The katsu chicken was crispy and just fried right before we picked it up. Super satisfied with their food!! Their portions are also generous. The price of their food is also very reasonable. Each of these plates are around $11.79.

    This place is usually pretty good, but today the Teriyaki Chicken was burnt and dry.

Coconut Joe's is still a welcomed regular at any family gathering and a personal favorite of mine to this day. They've always had a strong burger. The huli huli burger n fries which is their pineapple burger is my favorite. For family style eating, their half pack and full packs are perfect. Their tri tip is good on its own, but with the corn, rice, and coleslaw mixed in with it is next level and the flavor always brings me back good times. The vibe inside is super fun. They fully embrace the surfer theme and have surf decorations wall to wall. Their televisions play classic surf trip movies which are fun to watch. Sometimes in the winter they will play snowboard and ski trip videos. Back in my youth, this was one of my favorite parts of the experience. I still love it, but don't get to dine in as often as I used to. They're great for take out, though I find the burger and fries are best enjoyed fresh in the restaurant.

The kids menu items are super affordable too. I ordered the fish and chips for myself, which were cooked nicely but I would have preferred a little less batter. My husband ordered the barbecue sliders. I wasn't really expecting much, but it actually came with a lot of meat and I liked that they served the sauce on the side so you could control how much you want. This place is counter service only, so don't expect anything fancy! But it was a nice option instead of something fast food or a chain that we could get back home.

    Nobody plans to spend an evening in Bakersfield. You pass through it on the way to somewhere else…read more-- Mammoth, the Sequoias, the long flat grind up the 99 to Sacramento -- and if you stop at all, it's for gas or a bathroom or because your BMW's brakes have decided, somewhere around the Grapevine, that they'd rather not. Thank you, Weatherford BMW of Berkeley, for the near-death experience and, inadvertently, for one of the best nights out I've had in years. Stranded and waiting on repairs, we checked into The Padre, the only hotel in Bakersfield that feels like someone with a subscription to Dwell had a hand in it, and set out walking through a downtown that time has treated with more kindness than reputation suggests. There's a Woolworth's luncheonette still hanging on. There are old brick facades and wide sidewalks and the particular quiet of a Central Valley evening when the heat finally breaks. And then, on 18th Street, there is Tiki-Ko, and suddenly you are no longer in Bakersfield at all. You are, instead, inside someone's magnificent obsession. Tiki-Ko is a proper tiki bar -- not a tiki-themed cocktail lounge, not a place that bought some bamboo at a craft store and called it atmosphere, but a genuine, committed, floor-to-ceiling shrine to mid-century Polynesian fantasy. The carvings are real. The lighting is correct -- which is to say, barely there. The mugs are serious. There are pufferfish lamps and carved totems and the whole glorious taxonomy of tiki ephemera, accented here and there with a skate-culture edge that keeps it from feeling like a museum. It's reverent without being precious. The drinks are the real thing. Mai Tais built with actual orgeat. Zombies that earn the name. The bartenders make them with the kind of care and enthusiasm that tells you this isn't a gig -- it's a calling. They want you to be here. They want to talk about rum. They want you to try the Painkiller. In a city that most Angelenos regard as a punch line, somebody built a world-class cocktail bar and filled it with joy, and the regulars clearly know it. You will not plan a trip to Bakersfield. But if you find yourself there -- by mechanical failure, by accident, by the peculiar mercy of a bad brake job -- walk downtown. Find the tiki bar. Order a second round. Stay longer than you intended. Bakersfield has been underestimated, and Tiki-Ko is the proof.

    Haven't been in here for probably 15 years. It's changed- a bit. I love Tiki bars and I go to every…read moreTiki bar I can find. It's tiny- like a lot of tiki spots. Decor is nice. Little hidden gems. Lighting is dark with bits color and neon popping through. The Bar Top curves around the bar- there are two booths that seat 5-6 and two short tables next to them- one seats 4- the other will comfortably seat two. There are a few bench style seating areas at the front with some short coffee tables. Think- skater tiki bar. The drinks were good- small menu if you're not sure what you want or are new to tiki. Both sides of the menu are the same menu. There are some nice mocktail options as well- you don't see that often. The service for me is mixed- it wasn't busy- steady but not busy- 1/4 full. I ordered two drinks to start for our table- (no cocktail servers here/not unusual for a small Tiki bar) I asked for a soda water- the bartender looked at me without a word- popped open a can of soda water and walked away. When he walked back by, I asked for a glass of ice- he said nothing and I got an eye-roll huff. I almost left. I don't think providing a glass with ice to pour your canned room temp soda water in, is too wacky an idea to be perturbed by the request. The female who took the order was friendly, smiled and was professional. We got a third cocktail- the Mai Tai. The grumpy bartender was friendlier this time. So, that helped. Maybe he felt overwhelmed and I threw off his groove by asking for water- then a glass... either way- being annoyed wasn't cool. The music.... Wasn't Tiki- it threw off the "Tiki Vibe" and made it feel typical small local bar that serves only Tiki drinks with some Tiki decor. It didn't take you to the land of Tiki- disappointed. Drinks were good.

I guess because it's a sports bar restaurant, and it's in Bakersfield. I got the shock of my life. It turned out, this was the best barbecue food I ever had. Not only that, but it's very affordable. I would say a bargain. I didn't have to spend 100+ dollars for 2 persons, like a lot of so called high quality barbecue restaurants. The briskets and ribs were amazing.
