I recently tried Ono Hawaiian BBQ after getting a coupon in the mail, and it turned out to be a solid experience. The food was good and satisfying, especially for a quick fast-food option, and the prices felt fair for the portion sizes you get. Service was also good--staff were friendly and efficient. The place itself feels a little old and could probably use some updating, but overall it didn't take away from the experience. Definitely worth trying, especially if you have a coupon. read more

Hey Kim thank you for letting my food get cold. I called for a to go order saying it would be 10-15 minutes which is fine. I showed up and paid with Kim and said it should come up. I am standing around waiting for 10 minutes while she is just talking with a coworker laughing it up. Eduardo followed up if I was waiting for an order. I was and. My order was sitting there the whole time since I got there and paid. Thanks Eduardo for taking my order over the phone and following up afterwards. Meanwhile Kim, thank you for letting me purchase food that tastes like leftovers now because it's cold. read more

The rice here acceptable. The Mac Salad is acceptable. The beef unacceptable. The entirety of the serving on the regular and mini meals the meat when served is mostly 80% fat chunks. There is not much meat for the price. Hopefully they can cut the fat off the meats before they marinate them and give people the beef they are paying for. Sadly most of these chains do disappoint. Will not be returning. There are better and less fatty options. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Hawaiian Near Me - Downey, California

It had been a while since eating from this place. The food was exceptional good, and it was plentiful. I was able to eat off this plate three times. Everything was fresh and very tasteful. I will be dining here again soon. read more

Although there's a $1.00 price increase every year; Ono Hawaiian in Patamount still offers d best Lenten special deal someone on limited income can afford these days! However, they refused to set aside d salad or fish! I have a way to go & setting aside d fish for me makes a lot of difference!!! Not Downey in Paramount, CA! read more

Recently had their teriyaki chicken with rice and mac & cheese, immaculate food well cooked well seasoned 10 out of 10 would come again

This place has excellent food options for lunch gatherings. The food was hot and super delicious. The macaroni salad has a very flavorful taste. The katsu chicken is crisp & tender. The service is excellent with very little wait time. The staff is super helpful with their menu options. I really appreciate when a sit down restaurant is clean. read more

it tasted pretty good but I felt like it was lacking in flavor a little bit. The short ribs could be a little more tender... I ordered number 4 bbq combination. read more

The food was fresh and of good quality. And, I was very pleased with the level of service that was provided to me by Lien. She was very helpful and sweet. I will definitely visit, again! read more

I ordered a family meal (3 large portions of meat, rice, mac salad, and veggies), added one more meat to the family meal and an order of 2 spam misubis in app for takeout. I arrived 5 minutes past pick up time and the food still was not ready (mind you this is around 4pm in the afternoon so it's not even busy). After waiting another 10 minutes, the food was finally ready. I was staying about 10 minutes away at a hotel with the family and realized after we got to the hotel that they left out our spam misubi order! I immediately called the store and they insisted that the order was in the "smaller bag with the plates" while I argued that the only thing in that bag was sauces. I hear an "Oh" over the phone suddenly and then they said you can come back and we'll remake it for you free of charge (he probably noticed the order on the counter or something). Let me just say how is it free of charge when I already paid for the item and you're the one who forgot to give it to me? They didn't even offer my money back for the misubi or give me any extra misubis for my troubles. So after a 20 minute round trip, I finally have my misubi (no compensation or anything). The food itself tasted OK, wasn't anything super special but there wasn't anything wrong with it- it was what I would expect at Hawaiian bbq to taste like. I guess lesson learned, check for every item in store before leaving the store because they apparently can't get orders right. read more

Service was quick. They had my food ready when I walked I ordered online. Got a promo code for $7 dollars for my plate. Good portions for what I paid for. The white sauce with red hot sauce packet was really good. Definitely a more profound chili taste compared to the orange red sauce. The salad with the dark sauce was amazing, crunchy, and refreshing. The fish was okay. Slightly crispy, but felt like it should have been seasoned better. Maybe, add some lemon, spices, more salt, or pepper would be nice. Small restaurant, but big parking lot since it is in a shopping center. Not sure if I will be back. read more

Can in for a snack. The cashier was very nice and our food was fast and hot. The restaurant was clean. We had the katsu chicken with beef meal. They changed their beef, but I understand the challenges restaurants have in today's world. We will definitely be back again... thanks for the good eats.... read more

Hawaiian chicken is very delicious and boil vegetables is very nice touch compare to others with cabbages.

I didn't like the food, I got a bbq mix and frankly this is just poor quality food for 20 bucks.

Wow, it has been a really long time since I last visited this place. My recent return was during July covid 19 times. I called my order in and picked it up in within 10-15mins. No line. They are pre packaging the sauce for sanitary purposes which is great. Customer service was great. When I got home, I was utterly disappointed in reduction in portion size. They must have changed their container size to make sure they don't over portion like they did before. For the amount of money they charge, I am quite disappointed and may not return due to this. read more

Called to adjust my order via phone considering they don't have the option to customize certain things on Uber eats. The woman that answered the phone was extremely rude to me and before I was even done making my corrections she hung up the phone on me. This is completely rude and unacceptable. I go to that location all the time and the staff have very poor attitudes. I don't understand why people have to be so rude. If you don't like your job then find another one. The blatant disrespect to hang up in someone's face when they're not even done speaking is just wrong. The food is great, but the customer service is TERRIBLE. read more

Just now ordering my food from this location haven't tasted it yet. But from experience from other Ono bbq locations I have enjoyed it.

Wow! Couldn't be more pleased. Came in July 5th since they were closed 4th of July and got the Chicken Katsu with extra macaroni salad plus a keiki meal for my kid. The cashier Derek was really nice and welcoming! All employees should be like Derek. My kiddo and I couldn't have been more satisfied. We definitely left a nice tip for Derek. Thank you Ono. read more

The chicken katsu at this place is always overly done to the point that it is so dry on the inside. Sometimes, I cannot even chew it because the chicken is so hard. It hurts my jaw. Please bring back the crunchy yet moist katsu we all loved before. Thank you. read more

Rude cashier! Vinnessa needs to learn how to be better with her customers! I was trying to pay with my card and she was getting rude because the card terminal was acting up. She straight up said this is last time and goes on to speaking shit in Spanish. Little did she know I speak spanish! Then what made it worse, she suddenly changes her attitude when a Spanish speaking customer orders after me and her card terminal magically worked. I will never come back here again. read more

Great portions. Food is always ready quick and on time. I always enjoy coming to this location.

We had a gift card so that's what brought us here. My hunger made me gravitate towards the kalbi rib plate. Big mistake, unless you are okay with a lot of fat and hardly any flavor. The boy didn't finish his beef plate which was a little better than my meal. The thing that was tasty was the veggies which consisted of cabbage and broccoli. This place was packed I mean people like big plates of food for a moderate price I get it. It's just not for me and my pansa. read more

Nothing special about this food. It was just ok if you are in a rush and need a meal that is not fried.

I'm a little disappointed with my catering order for Saturday, June 30th. I placed the order online and paid for it. It was to be picked up at 12:15, when my husband arrived it was not ready. He had to wait 45 minutes for them to cook it. The food was delicious but I'm disappointed, we had a couple guests who had to leave and never got any food. I was also told plates, napkins and utensils would be provided, we received none of that. Just a tip for anyone- call to remind them of your order and when you are picking it up. read more

Ordered a to go order online and they forgot half of the combo. I ordered 3 chicken combos and they left out the katsu on all 3 combos. I had to go back. They made the katsu on the side. By the time that was ready my plate was cold. The bbq chicken was so cold. The girl handed me 3 very hot containers with katsu. No bag. I had to ask for the bag and I had to bag it myself even though she was bagging every single to go order. They messed up my order and she couldn't even bother to give me a bag for my food. read more

The food is awesome, the restaurant is clean and the condiment station is maintained & well-stocked. I noticed it was very neat! Saw the employee working there coke over to make sure it was kept clean/organized in between customers. I see you! :) There are plenty of tables inside and outside the location for a lunch crowd. They have healthy options, which I really enjoyed the chicken breast and steamed veggies. My son loved his Katsu chicken kids meal. They serve a good portion for a kids meal! The staff is very friendly. I love the food. Great that I came in to try it out read more

This review is for the soda machine!!! That machine is disgusting and has a gross smell. I can't believe it is still being allowed to be used for ice and drinks. It is sticky, dirty and has grime all around it. read more

I love the food at Ono but it's really a shame that the service here is horrible. One visit I have been charged twice on my card and had to wait at the store to make sure it didn't go through in the system the second time around. I was almost late to work because of this. I also ordered a chicken katsu meal but instead I received fish! How can you make such a huge mistake?! Like I said food is good here but staff and service is the worst. read more

It's delicious and super affordable. Their customer service is solid too. I've never experienced a rude worker at Ono Hawaiian!

Very busy place which is usually a good sign. Ordered the beef combo plate and the ribs plate, both were delicious. The salad could use some flavor as it was very bland. All employees very friendly and professional considering how busy it was. Enjoyed the food and would def recommend. Also clean and well kept inside. read more

What I really enjoy about Ono is that they have many options. I somehow only ever get the samething. Got my teriyaki beef with white rice, and macaroni salad. Today the beef was not cooked fresh I think . My food was ready in like 3 minutes. Didn't taste fresh . Everything else was good . The resturant was really clean and all staff were wearing gloves and mask. They have hand sanitizer out for the customers . The cashier was very nice. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - menus on the wall - Hawaiian Near Me - Downey, California

Ordered island fire chicken. Double checked receipt shows correctly. She told me it'll take extra time, I said ok. Get the bag with the multiple plates ordered. Get home. No Island fire chicken. Just chicken Katsu. The complaint is more that their phone number just consistently goes to voicemail which advises that mailbox is full and can't take any more messages. I wanted to call and confirm that the island fire plate was actually left behind so I could return and pick it up - honest mistake. Cant do that and now more work to go back and wait the extra time for the plate if it isn't ready. No can! read more

Oh, no! Ono Hawaiian BBQ in Downey was not quite the Bookmark Monday experience I was seeking. The place was mostly clean when I walked in today (4/27/15), but I chose to take my order to go. The service was nice, but it took a while to get my food and the place was hardly busy. Curry was on my mind when I stopped here. I love spicy. The spicier the better, but I was largely disappointed... I ordered the Island Curry Chicken ($7.49). It's one of "Aloha plates." With that and the purchase of a large fountain drink ($2.19), I used a coupon for a free crab rangoon appetizer (normally they are 6 for $4.19). The chicken was surprisingly good and moist except a few fatty pieces. The curry, on the other hand, was not spicy at all! The rice that came with this plate was a little sticky yet edible. I did not like the "house made dressing" on the salad at all. I should have asked for it on the side or not at all. The dressing tasted... sour. I have no words for it really. I took one bite and quit because it saturated all of the veggies. Other than that, it was a fresh salad. The (faux) crab (meat) rangoon was not in any stretch of the imagination flavorful, but it did have nice crispy edges. All I could taste was the cooking oil that the dumpling was deep-fried in. It's certainly not a bad option for a (quick - or maybe not) work lunch or a casual meal with friends. The portions were generous and mostly affordable for any budget. Everything was served hot. It just didn't make me say, "Oh, yes!" Ono HBBQ is located in Downey Landing. Parking is really ridiculous at times, but on a weekday at around 11:30 a.m. it was fine.

Hawaiian BBQ spots typically pride themselves on value over everything else but this spot is as skimpy as it gets. Wuality of food wasnt great either. Prices here have skyrocketed but understandable due to inflation, overall I wouldn't recommend. read more

The best Ono around hands down! This location has the best service and consistent delicious food that hits the spot every time. Shout out to the manager and cashier who were closing Sunday, 3/3/24. There were issues when their systems but they made sure to take care of me and my partner. I appreciate the team here and will keep coming back. :) read more

Portion for my take out order was mediocre specially with the protein, rice as usual is never underserved. This is the first time ever receiving such a bad looking place. Food was not the greatest as this is my go to item on the menu and have gotten to order from multiple locations. read more

Congratulation on a new location. Let's learn how to cook rice correctly. It's very difficult to cook rice wrong if you are using a rice cooker. You just have to be careful when you put water. You are putting too much water somehow. Most of your entrees have some type of sauce, which makes rice softer. I didn't come to this restaurant to enjoy porridge. read more
