First visit trip to an Ono in over 15 years (had a coupon). My wife and I each ordered chicken katsu. It was the worse katsu I've had in 50 years. We ordered right when they opened at 11, but the katsu didn't look like it was just made. It had the appearance of reheated yesterday katsu. The chicken was very thin, overcooked, and not really hot. The breading tasted like reheated old oil. The macaroni salad also tasted off. The rice and salad were fine. The Onos we went to in the Los Angeles area in the past were always consistently very good. We will give them another chance and order the teriyaki. read more

Stopped by Ono's for lunch and we had the chicken and beef plate with white steamed rice and macaroni salad. The chicken and beef teriyaki was so juicy and tender. The beef had a nice teriyaki taste to it and for the chicken a little teriyaki dipping sauce was a good touch. Over all great quick service at the counter but the room was full. Nevertheless, it was a short wait for a table. I must say it's worth the wait! read more

Went here dinner, the wait after I ordered was a long wait. I ordered the mixed plate of steak and chicken. When the order came I was not offered soy sauce, or chili. The teriyaki sauce is self serve so no issues there. The inside has plenty of seating and the outside has a few tables too. read more

Definitely a classic for me. Ono Hawaiian BBQ has been a spot to satisfy my craving for chicken katsu. This spot is located in a plaza with a huge parking lot. They have indoor and outdoor seatings. It is spacious, clean and organized. The workers are super friendly and welcoming as well. I've only gotten Chicken Katsu here and it is my fave. It's always consistent and delicious. Highly recommend this place! read more

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. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Hawaiian Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I picked up lunch for the office from the Calloway location. The restaurant was busy but clean. Staff were friendly and greeted me when I walked in. The to go area is clearly marked so no awkward looking around. Our food was ready when I arrived and even had utensils in the bags. The issue we ran into is the Mac salad, If you've ever had the Mac salad here you know how amazing it is, but this time not so much. It tasted basic, like salad you buy from a grocery store. We were so disappointed! We had all been craving that salad and it was terrible. I don't know if the recipes changed or if each location makes it different but because of that I probably won't be back to that location. Everything else was great, the little ribs, chicken and beef were so good and tender. Please fix the Mac salad!!!! read more

The food was amazing!!! We ordered the island spice grilled fish, chicken katsu, and Hawaiian BBQ beef. All three were so fresh and delicious. The grilled fish was buttery and smooth, katsu skin crispy while at the same time the inside chicken is very juicy, and the beef was very flavorful. Service was phenomenal. And the ambiance was also good. Overall food here was the best I ever eaten and also very affordable while having big portions at the same time. read more

Fast, quick, and good fast food. For those that want to go easy on caloric intake, any meat and veggies will do. The macaroni salad is delish. Any of the meats are sweet and good! Is fast food, so if you're needing a quick delish dinner, Ono is the spot! read more

Service was on point. Teriyaki Chicken was great, rice was great, and the Mac salad is my favorite. Sauce helps too but overall always solid. read more

I love their chicken and macaroni salad. The portions are unbelievable Services good, prices are good as well

Always talking, on the phone. They're never ready with delivery orders, honestly shouldn't have employees who know each other on the same shift bad for business. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Food is good, I'm just curious regarding customer service. I've been standing for about 2-3 mins and no one is approaching me, and I've seen a worker by the front counter putting sauce on little containers, and no one in line but me. There were 3-4 people at the back/kitchen and 2 people in the counter supposedly and no one said "I will be with you in few seconds or minute" then the worker finally approached me, how can I help you? she has nice eye brow/eye lashes have a little sparkle on it. Thank you anyway for taking my order. Just be aware that us customers sometimes needs a little attention specially no one but me standing and ready to order. Your priority is the customer. You may continue putting the sauce in a little container when you finished taking my order. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I tried this place for the first time after a spin class. I got the fire chicken mini meal-perfect for one or even two people. The marinade/seasoning is extremely similar to what's used to make al pastor meat. The meal comes with one scoop of Hawaiian Mac salad and and 1 scoop of white rice. I made it a combo , which only came with an order of fried wontons, not sure if drink is supposed to come with a meal but i wasn't given a drink cup or offered one. My order was to go so it was handed to me and the worker walked away from me so I could t really ask about the drink. She didn't even ask if there was anything else I needed nothing handed my the bag and asked away which is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. I will go back for another item next time and hopefully they can be just a little bit more helpful. read more

My husband and I came for dinner and I ordered the teriyaki chicken with steamed rice and macaroni salad. I really enjoyed the macaroni salad. The chicken was a little different. Maybe it was the thigh meat. I'm not sure but I wasn't too fond of it. I picked it. It had a good taste, but that again. Very clean establishment great service nice and bright just wasn't a big fan of the teriyaki chicken. read more

Finally a Hawaiian BBQ place in Bakersfield. It is not the best, but it is still good, cheap, and has big portion sizes. This place is more of a fast food type restaurant, so I wouldn't compare the food to the authentic Hawaiian food from Hawaii. We usually get the Hawaiian BBQ mix plate for variety and some BBQ chicken musubis on the side. Their mac salad is tasty. During Lent, they had a promotion for $5 Aloha white fish plate that was pretty good. read more

Good food, but something bothers me about eating somewhere where I can make everything at home. It's not like a steak house or a burger place, where you could never get it just right. With this type of restaurant anyone and everyone could make this style of food. I just wish they had something a little more special on the menu or even some sort of desserts. The overall look of this place is very nice, clean and well spaced out. The food is kind of high in price, but you definately get what you pay for when it comes to the quantity, but I still just wish there was a dessert or some other specialty items. Good new option to have on both sides of town. Thank you for not having another burger or burrito place in town. read more

Oh snap. A Hawaiian BBQ place in Bakersfield?! YES PLEASE. As my time in CA has come to a close, I was really excited to stumble upon this place. They greet you when you walk in and they will take the time to go over the menu if you're new! I got the grilled chicken mini meal. It was the perfect size! Didn't feel mini to me. The macaroni pasta was so good! The rice and veggies were also delicious...but I would go home with a bucket of macaroni pasta. That's my jam (and what helped me gain the Junior 30 in college). After I walked in and ordered, there was a huge line that formed. You know it's a good place when more people are coming through the door. The food was hot and the grilled chicken had a ton of flavor and was juicy! Nobody likes dry chicken. I'm telling you, even though grilled chicken is better for you, I really think it probably tastes better than everything else. I will come back again! Seriously, you have to visit this place. Your tastebuds will thank you. I can't wait to come back when you can eat inside. It has a cute little vibe in there, mostly because of the Hawaiian music. read more

I'm so happy this food chain came to town. Always always good food. Quit getting skimpy on the Mac salad!!!

Always have great food with great customer service. But not today. The person taking are order was very rude had no customer service skills. Had a dirt look on his / her face. Giving all the customer dirt looks. It was a horrible customer service experience. Definitely thinking twice before I go back there again. read more

Went to the newer Rosedale location and it was really the same as the East Side location. Good food at a good price. The staff is always nice and even when busy, they keep things moving along well. They keep the place very clean, and keep it moving on the food. I'm a fan for sure, but only go once in a while because I like the super greasy/fatty Kalbi Ribs and so have to only order once in a while. Their food is so good though, really love it. Ono has done a good job here in Bakersfield. I hope they keep it up. Give them a try, you'll love it. read more

One of my favorite places for comfort food. The pasta salad is the best I've ever had so I make sure to sub my white rice for more salad. Many things to choose from and if you want something smaller they have options there too! read more

Great food. Mac salad is the best. Chicken and Beef are always a good choice. Fast friendly service.
