    Hawaiian BBQ Mix with giant slab of galbi - thick and tender
    Michael Y.

    The island fire chicken brought me on a trip to the island where volcanoes were raging in an epic geological display of nature's most powerful forces. It was fire. It was gloriously spicy and awesome to behold. The leafy greens with its tangy, gingery yet light dressing toned down the heat just enough like the trees that that offer a respite from the raging heat. Yep, the meat was super tender and bountiful like a luau. I was invited to join in Ono's festivities, its culture, and its flavors. They were very quick with the prep too, as I was out of there in just a few minutes! The string of orders before me also were completed very quickly. The food and containers were still very hot when I took out the takeout containers.

    Never noticed this location since the opening for the parking lot is slightly hidden in my opinion. The restaurant is clean, the service is fast and food comes out within 10-15mins. I did run into some communication issues with my order. I ordered two meals with the same exact items and somehow got different items for it and I didn't notice until after I got home. The chicken katsu was very thin and had more breading than meat and the short ribs were a bit tough. The bbq chicken and the macaroni salad was pretty good though.

    Came here for the 1st time w/ family and it was good!! From ordering to getting our meal was about 15 minutes but it gave us time to get drinks and utensils and condiments. The place was busy but the staff is very good - taking orders and getting them out. The lemon chicken was excellent- loved the flavor! Kalbi short ribs was well flavored- loved the steam cabbage that came with it. Mac salad is better than most - lots of flavor and just enough mayo. Crispy shrimp - really good these guys know how to fry Chicken katsu- loved the breading just wish the chicken was cut a bit thicker ! Musubi - good grill on the spam and loved the sauce Over all a great meal - busy little place but they know how to handle a crowd. The food is good and you get more than enough to fill you up and in some cases have leftovers.

    Grand re-opening special..buy 1 get 1 free

    We went here for the grand re-opening on Friday, the line was pretty long but manageable. They had a special going on that day, buy one plate, get one free. The place hasn't changed that much in my opinion. My favorite bbq beef was amazing as usual. It was only missing the cabbage, but I can only imagine because it was crazy busy. Food was hot and fresh, on point as usual. I love the addition of the hula guava pie

    BBQ Mix Plate & Chicken Katsu Plate

    After being closed for renovations for 5 months, Ono Colma has finally reopened, and I'm stoked! I got there about 5:15 pm Friday night to take advantage of their Grand Reopening BOGO deal. The line was out the door. However, from the time I got in line to the time I left, it was only about half an hour. They were very efficient and prepared for the mass amount of people they knew they would have. I still have the same complaint though...just the one sauce station. I grabbed my sauces after I ordered and didn't wait too long. But by the time I got my food, that sauce line was probably 10-15 deep.

    I came by for their grand reopening BOGO. I was really impressed with how organized the event was. An employee came by to explain the promotion for those in line. From joining a ~20 person line to getting the food was about 30 minutes. I was surprised how good the food - this place had never been on my radar. I'd recommend dining in to appreciate how well fried their chicken katsu is. It is a bit pricey but they are generous with the protein and I had a good amount for takeaway. I think the menu is confusing and overwhelming where the tv scrolls through different platters and it jumps numbers (1, 2, 5, 47) for different combinations of meats. There was constantly a 8 people deep line for diy teriyaki sauce. Given the crowd though, I think the restaurant performed admirably in getting people in and out and all the staff were really nice and patient. The promotion was surprisingly generous with no limits on the BOGO. They gave us coupons too and I'll be back!

    A Taste of Excellence at Ono Restaurant, Colma! Stepping into Ono Restaurant in Colma was a fantastic decision, and I'm thrilled to share my experience! From the moment I walked in, the inviting ambiance set the stage for what turned out to be a truly delightful meal. If you're looking for a spot that consistently delivers, keep reading! My go-to order, the Grilled Chicken Breast, was, as always, absolutely delicious and utterly dependable - it truly never disappoints. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was exceptional. Nicole, who assisted me, was wonderful, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's clear that great food paired with attentive service makes all the difference. What truly impressed me was not just the delicious meal, but also the immaculate environment. Junior, the manager, is doing an outstanding job ensuring the place is sparkling clean, which definitely enhances the dining experience. With delicious food, great service, and a spotlessly clean setting, Ono Restaurant comes with my highest recommendation!

    chicken combo
    Sally Z.

    I genuinely enjoyed the food here and will definitely come back to try other plates on the menu! Came here on Tuesday night around 7pm and it wasn't too busy; food came out fast. I ordered the chicken combo which came with a generous portion of rice, mac salad, and chicken katsu and BBQ chicken over a bed of lettuce. Katsu was delicious and crispy and the BBQ chicken was tender and flavorful. Mac salad was also pretty solid. There was a self-serve sauce station for teriyaki and tonkatsu sauce which was a plus. Both sauces paired great with my order. You definitely get a good bang for your buck here.

    Their catering service is great. We've never had any issues and the taste of the food is always consistent.

    Kalua Pork Island Fire Chicken
    Sydney C.

    I got the kalula pork and the fire island chicken. The total was around 31 dollars which is really pricy for just two meals. The service was fast and they call your number up when its ready. I came around 8:30 amd there were a handful of people still there. The food waa good tho, the fire island chicken was flavorful yet spicy. The kalula pork was good as well and you get a good amount of meat. Theres plenty of tables and good lighting.

    Urine smell and liquid in my meal so gross

    Kiana S.

    My boyfriend and I came here for lunch and had a great experience. The Island Fire Chicken was juicy, packed with flavor, and had just the right amount of heat. It paired well with the perfectly creamy macaroni salad, which had a nice balance of richness without being too heavy. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp, and it was just as flavorful--well-seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. The portions were satisfying, and the food definitely hit the spot for a Hawaiian plate lunch.

    Food - fast and STILL good. Guys cleaning all the tables and windows with cleaner. Staff courteous and good communication during the Sat noon rush hour. Someone is making an effort here! Thank God. Good job maintaining all these years Ono Grill! Longtime, but irregular customer.

We chose Dungeness crab for our combo and added extra potatoes & sausage. We also ordered the grilled squid and soft shell crab salad. The soft shell crab salad was good; The crab was just a bit over-fried. The grilled squid was great. Nice, chewy texture of the squid & the sauce it came in complimented the dish well. The flavor on the C3 combo was good. The seasoning clumped together and became a paste at the bottom of the bag, which would stick to the food, so I found myself wiping it off while eating.

We typically order a pound of shrimp and mussels, along with rice and fried fish. Today, the shrimp seemed noticeably smaller than usual, and I felt like the sauce didn't really penetrate the shrimp. I had to dip the shrimp into the sauce to get enough flavor. The fried fish, however, was surprisingly good--crispy, flavorful, and probably my favorite part of the meal today. Unfortunately, what really disappointed me was something I noticed while we were dining. One of the employees was doing side work and folding the gloves provided to customers with her bare hands. She had nail polish on, and her nails appeared untrimmed. These are the same gloves customers use to handle and dip food, so seeing them handled this way raised some serious hygiene concerns for me. I understand that employees have various side tasks to complete, but food-contact items like these gloves should be handled in a way that prevents contamination. It was honestly pretty gross to see and took away from the overall experience. I've always enjoyed coming here, so I hope management takes this feedback seriously and reviews proper food-safety and glove-handling procedures with the staff.

Briny, buttery, savory--those were the scents I was greeted with during my visit here. I decided to keep my order simple, but with a bit of indulgence so I settled for 3x3 oysters, half Fanny Bay and half Blue Point and added the One Pound Lobster Platter. One of my favorite things was that the lobster was pre-nipped and cut to make it easier to get to the meat and they also included a seafood cracker tool as well! The lobster was yummy, and meat the melted butter with the lemon juice added so much richness to the meal. The toasted bun was as delicately sweet as it was warm. The potato chips also had a lovely crunch and I like that they weren't pre-salted. As for the oysters, my goodness they were a delight! The Fanny Bays were briny and full of a meaty sea salt flavor and the horseradish and nice sulfury zing to it. The Kumamotos, however, were my favorite. They were sweet, mildly buttery with a touch of soft salinity, I wish I ordered more! I need to visit this place once again when I'm back in NorCal!

I used the promotion on the website to get 2 free pounds of shrimp as well as the #7 combo (shrimp, mussels, crawfish). I got the combo in the super ultimate sauce. The flavor of the sauce was pretty good, and you get a lot of it in the bag. It was interesting because it had a bit of a tomato-y scent to it, almost like creamy spaghetti sauce, but it also reminded me of instant ramen flavoring (lol)?? I like that the sauce didn't taste as salty or as unhealthy as Boiling Crab's sauce, which has a ton of butter and leaves me chugging water afterwards. As for the seafood itself, the shrimp was good but a bit overcooked. My favorite part of shrimp is eating the heads, but these heads did not taste very good or fresh. Similarly, I got a few mussels that were closed which means they were dead before cooking and have to be tossed. I also wish they had a combo that was shrimp + mussels + clams because I don't really like crawfish. I do like that the combo comes with some sides, but the sausage pieces should definitely be bigger than some skinny slices. Overall taste of the bag was fine, and it was piping hot so seems like it was really freshly cooked when I picked up. Cajun Bowl hit the spot and I'm glad I have this option close to home!
