Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken stream rice macaroni salad yum - Barbeque Near Me - Buena Park, California

this is the third hawaiian spot I tried in the last 2 months , I had not tried this spot before. I oredered fried shrimp and spicy fish plate. The Mac salad was so good. best I have had so far. which I have been craving and had been disappointed with 2 other different restaurants. The shrimp was tasty and not pily which was a plus! the fish was mild spice and flavorful. the costumer service was good as well. the decor was nice as well. best hawaiian so far here in OC! my husband had a chicken and beef short ribs plate he said it was really good. one of the vest he's had around in anaheim/oc. he was surprised that the chicken was good as well. i liked the portions as well. lunch and dinner! read more

Ono is a no-frills Hawaiian BBQ chain that just hits the spot. I went for a Hawaiian beef and bbq chicken combo plate, with flavorful chicken thighs and tons of food. I appreciated swapping out for fresh mix salad rather than Mac salad, and I thought the light ginger dressing was perfect against all the meat. Easy, flavorful, and quick! read more

The food was good but they forgot to add my Guava Pie. This was a mobile order I placed after opening hours at 11pm so I'm disappointed in that. read more

We love Ono!!!! We got it by Door Dash this time and it was delicious. The beef and chicken combo was cooked just right to be chewy and juicy with the sauces included with the meal. Then, the rice and macaroni salad was the perfect compliment to the tasty protein. The spam Musubi is a must whenever we order from here with its awesome salty flavor and thickness. Great meal. read more

Amazing Customer Service from Graciela, from the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a smile , she didn't rush me even though I came in 10 min before closing. It was my first time here and I already know I will be coming back. The food was also delicious. read more

I waited over 20 minutes for my food, then I finally asked if it was ready and they pointed to a box that had been sitting there for 15 minutes and said "oh yeah it's right here". Only for me then to find out that my order was incorrect once I left. read more

So the portions were sadly much smaller than I expected. Still enough to feed you for two meals - but at the price, I would hope so. And Katsu requires Ton-Katsu sauce. Without it - it's dry. Needless to say, I didn't get any sauce. For the same price, L&L gives you much more food. Or at least the L&Ls I've been to. read more

Customer service is fine not great not bad just fine. Very clean environment Had been a long time since I had came in I decided to go with the Katsu chicken plate I have to say I don't remember the Katsu chicken being so disappointing not sure if over the years they changed their recipe It honestly taste like KFC chicken I definitely won't ever be having their Katsu chicken. I hope the other entrées on the menu haven't changed in recipe. I guess I'll have to find out and see in the future. Also, their Katsu chicken seems to be dark meat, which I'm not a fan of all in all Katsu chicken was very disappointing. read more

Constantly Serving undercooked fried food should be considered a reason to get your restaurant removed from its spot here. Service is the only good thing about this restaurant other than that their cooks need to be retrained IMMEDIATELY! Why is the food so bad here? FYI undercooked chicken is a health hazard so might wanna get that fixed. read more

I ordered the macaroni Salad and it was pretty disgusting it had tuna or something else but never had that in this salad is this something new and if so please let your customers know. So we don't order this again it doesn't tase good at all. Bring the old one back. read more

I've had this place couple times now, both times being consistently the same. Decent size portions but they are lacking in the side and vegetables department. The chicken and beef was cooked great! Great flavors there, had the chicken beef combo, another time tried the island fire chicken. The island fire chicken was real good. Just a few slices of cabbage and two pieces of broccoli for veggies and the rice tasted like it was cooked yesterday or the day before. Customer service was good and friendly and usually always people there eating. Would like to see more veggies and better portions would go a long way for the price you pay. read more

There are very few Hawaiian food options in Buena Park, and Ono Hawaiian is the local spot for some ono eats without driving too far. The last couple of times we bought food from here, we used online ordering for pick-up. The experience with online ordering is easy. Our order was prepared and ready near the time given, and pick-up was tolerable. The restaurant was busy each time, so there was some wait, even for early dinner pick-up time. The food was good, and the meals were cooked perfectly. The Chicken Katsu and Crispy Shrimp had a crispy outer with tender meat inside. The macaroni salad is mayo-heavy and creamy and pairs well with the fried entrées. If you like creamy mac salad, you may like Ono's version. The plate portions are also generous. The katsu sauce wasn't added to our take-out a couple of times, so it was a little disappointing and kept getting missed. Make sure you're not missing any sauces when you pick up. The staff manages to try to provide quality service, but I can understand when it gets crazy during peak dining hours. Overall, I've had good service, and the food was delicious. I don't dine in much here, but the space is kept fairly clean and can have a relaxing vibe when the crowds don't build up. We also used coupons that were only redeemable through online ordering. The company's website, newsletter, and social accounts offer coupon codes and deals on occasion. read more

Stopped by Ono Hawaiian BBQ for lunch today, April 16, 2024, around 12 PM and I was thoroughly impressed! I ordered the beef chicken mix plate, opting for one scoop of rice and a double serving of macaroni salad. The portions were generous and the flavors truly delivered that authentic Hawaiian taste--so satisfying! The customer service was top-notch the team was welcoming and efficient. A special shout out to the cook--she was absolutely rocking it in the kitchen today! Also, parking was a breeze, which is always a bonus. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. If you're craving some delicious, hearty Hawaiian fare, you've got to check out Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Highly recommend! The ambience was typical lunch crowd not too crowded The restaurant was clean and so was the restroom read more

so I'm not losing my mind, the portions are significantly smaller than before. this used to be a go-to spot, but after today, Imma pass. along with several others noticing it, the potions are smaller. I had more onions than chicken in my plate. defeats the purpose of Ohana if you give plates this size. do better. read more

I had a catering order today at 4:30 and it was not ready! Totally unacceptable how does that happen I spent 80 bucks on food to be ready! But the young hispanic lady that was the cashier handle the manner professionally and had to notify the prison looking cook and everyone and else because they didn't know what hell was going on! Also the other cashier was rude to customers totally not a people person and has a horrible attitude. Do come here if you have a catering order because it will not be ready!! read more

After a bad experience I had last year at Ono Hawaiian BBQ, I was hesitant to have their food again. I chose to go to a different location and had better food and better customer service than I had at the previous location. The staff was friendly and surprisingly quick even though there was many customers. I ordered the Island Fire Chicken plate lunch, an order of the BBQ Beef Musubi, and an extra side of Macaroni Salad. The Island Fire Chicken has always been one of my go to items at Ono. This time around it was a very salty, and I did not end up finishing it. I normally don't have a problem with this dish so I'm not sure what went wrong. The BBQ Beef Musubi was good. The beef was seasoned well and it was juicy. In the photos they advertise that it's one large piece of beef placed over the rice, but I got Musubi with chopped up pieces of beef over rice. It all fell out as soon as I took a bite, but it's not a problem if you don't mind picking it up with a fork or your fingers. It was messy for me because I was eating these while walking. I feel like if it's wrapped well enough, the Musubi would be a good snack for on the go. The Macaroni Salad was decent. I've had better at other Hawaiian barbecue restaurants. It wasn't seasoned enough this time, but I just added salt and it was fine. I only every really eat here when a family member or friend is picking what we have for lunch. I think Ono Hawaiian Barbecue is great for those looking to try hawaiian style barbecue for the first time, but I prefer Matiki Island BBQ (they have dole whip) and Ai Pono Cafe now. read more

Went to this other branch as it was close to our gym another clean branch I see the staff cleaning tables when we walked in. I ordered the usual Chicken BBQ and my wife ordered the BBQ Beef. Preparation of our order was fast but noticed my wife's BBQ Beef was not as generously given with a lot more beef compared to the Downey Location. Also my BBQ Chicken was also the same lesser chicken to what we had from the Downey location. I guess the branches are not the same? read more

I usually like Ono more than L&L, so I convinced my SO to get Ono instead. Ordered through Yelp via Grubhub in my car. I waited 10 minutes and went inside to check on my order since the restaurant didn't seem that busy. My order wasn't ready so I waited by getting the sauces first. They were out of teriyaki sauce so I waited some more. Once home, I realized the portions are significantly smaller than the usual location I go to. I would order a mini katsu meal at my usual spot and I would still have leftovers!! This is a full order of chicken katsu and I finished it. Barely any macaroni salad and a few cabbages on the bottom! Definitely ripped off. I'll just stick to my usual location near work from now on. read more

Havent been here in a while. Well... today i noticed that they no longer include the mac salad and instead use shredded cabbage?! The cabbage takes up half of the plate. It is being used as "filler" to make the plate appear fuller when theres less meat and no mac salad! Big disappointment! Never again!! Aloha bbq blows This place away! read more

I think this was a good value for the price lots of proteins and stuffed food box ordered the seafood mix 3/5 and the kalbi bbq mix 4/5 the fried shrimp was very thin mostly batter the fish was good and light on flavor the chicken was good also for the ribs, it was good the beef was a bit dry but still ok service was ok, not too long of a wait ambiance normal vibes great quick food and quantity read more

I came here on December 26th for lunch and did the online deal which is $7 Aloha meal with Bbq chicken, rice, and salad. The food was good, however there was hardly any chicken. I've ordered this meal at other locations and they gave me much more food. I wouldn't recommend buying this deal at this location. read more

Fire chicken has a lot of flavors, is very tasty, and goes so well with white rice. The grilled chicken in the salad is on point too, not dry at all. For the salad dressing, I got an orange color one, super tasty, with a lot of flavors. The only thing I don't like is the amount of grilled chicken is not enough for me(a girl who normally can't finish one whole meal) It was a weekday 6:30 pm, Food was made and packed in 15 mins, which is amazingly fast. Parking is not a problem for weekday evenings. The food is a little above average if they could give me more grilled chicken I would give it a 4 stars, for now just 3 stars. read more

I ordered the Aloha Plate with two items, pork and shrimp. While the pork was fine, I was really disappointed with the shrimp. I only received five tiny pieces, which felt pretty underwhelming for the price. Portion size matters, and this just didn't feel like a full entree. I was hoping for better value and consistency. read more

Very stingy about plastic utensils even if I ordered catering portion for a family party and very disappointed. No spoons no forks and 4 pieces of napkins in the package and when I asked for chopsticks, the worker was very reluctantly giving out. Not right when I order $150 worth of food. The food was good and it was for family gathering/ birthday party and three small party trays served well 13 people and there some left overs. read more

Ordered catering from here and the service and food was great. I placed an extra catering dish onsite and they accommodated me within 7 minutes I was ready to go. Cecilia and cashiers were awesome, I will definitely trust them again. read more

Not one to give reviews, but this place sucks. Flavor is fine but portion sizes are actually laughable. One chicken thigh and like 3 bites of beef for $15 is insane. Better off going anywhere else if you're looking for an actual meal. read more

SKIMPY PORTIONS I ordered the BBQ mix so I will never come here again! Closest to my house but I rather drive further. The one down the street does generous portions wish I could link it on here. Disappointed I thought all Onos were the same but nope! read more

We went here for lunch in between errands. I got the chicken lunch plate which was around $11.50. This comes with some cabbage, rice, and some macaroni salad. Chicken was good and tasty, and there was plenty of it! I ate half of it and took the rest home. There were a couple sauces you could help yourself to. Both had good flavor and could complement the plate well. The only disappointment was that the fountain drink section had an "Out of Order" sign over the Coca-Cola (regular), and over a couple of the iced tea selections. I don't recall any hawaiian-themed ambience inside the establishment. You could get your order to-go and provide your own drink at home without worrying about missing out on anything from dining in. Is the place very good? Absolutely. Would I consider this place "authentic" Hawaiian...heck I wouldn't know. I haven't been to Hawaii in ages! With any luck I'll book a trip there for next year. Fingers crossed. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken & Beef Lunch Plate. - Barbeque Near Me - Buena Park, California

Unjustifiable price and terrible portions. Portions of the food were nearly cut and half from what use to be. Including the sides. It's a shame because the food is good. I will not be heading back to Ono and recommend that you do not waste your money here. Higher prices and less portions. I am not the only who thinks so. Scroll through the reviews and you will fine very similar Reviews of the portions being cut drastically. While the prices went up. Unjustified. read more

I ordered Chicken Katsu. It was thin and overcooked, I couldn't even get my fork through it. It was extremely crunchy no as preferred. And they mixed up order. Late order came out first, early order came out late. They had my order prepared but they kept skipping order numbers by back and forth. read more

You really can't beat the $6 lent fish special. It is so fresh and yummy. It gets very busy, so be prepared to wait. Staff is attentive and kind and are very accommodating as I cannot eat seeds. I love the tarter sauce. It's a great place for a quick meal or take out, ambiance is busy and lively. I added a side of Mac salad, because how can you not? Great lunch for around 10$, I'll take it!! read more
