    Spam musubi and Aloha Katsu plate
    Gavin N.

    The weather is getting colder, and I needed something to remind me of the 'aina. The coupons I had been getting in the mail have been amazing. Who can pass up the opportunity for a buy one get one free package? The food itself is generous in portion, and tastes great. You can pair the food with a katsu or teriyaki sauce - why not both?! The service is fast. I recommend this if you are also missing Hawai'I. 10/10 recommend

    So back again because of our mailer! LOL Hey now, you can't beat BOGO! So this updated review is specifically for our customer service experience. Jason was working the cash register and immediately greeted us. He took our order with a smile and was the most thorough with ensuring its accuracy. There was a phone call to the restaurant for a pick-up order and he was so polite and patient on the phone. I feel like when you experience outstanding customer service, it should be shouted out.

    Always a great spot-- mainly leaving a review this time because my cashier Angela was super nice!! She rushed to the front every time customers came in and was always cleaning something whenever it got slow. :) Got a mini plate for around $12 and portion size was good. You can get sauces (teriyaki, katsu, hot sauce, hot mustard) by the fountain drink area. Really clean inside and wait time was less than 10 minutes. Lots of spots to sit as well!

    Our family absolutely loved this place! The cleanliness and adorable seating & decor is what stood out to me upon entering. Even the organizational touches like the condiment area- I was impressed! The food was all served exactly as described, and the kids meals were a hit too! All the workers were super helpful, as that it was our first time, and we were extra inquisitive. Great first experience overall- we will definitely return! Well done!

    We had wanted to dine at a nearby restaurant but there was a long line so we decided to dine here. My daughter had been here before and said her experience was mediocre. They had ordered 2 plates and when they received it they were told that they had ran out of rice and just gave them an extra scoop of Mac salad. They did not mention it when they placed their order to give them an option to decline their order or substitution's. We decided to give it another try. We ordered the chicken katsu plate. It was a decent portion of chicken for the price but it wasn't exactly 2 full scoops of rice. It was more like 2 tiny scoops of rice that equated to 1 regular scoop. Mac salad and chicken was good. Restaurant was nice and clean. The cashier was friendly. I would come back again.

    Ohana Meal Chicken Katsu  This is Delicious  MY Favorite restaurant

    The service is really fast and the food is so tasty The atmosphere of the restaurant of sitting in is amazing and the atmosphere of taking food home is really fast and convenient

    Spam Misubi

    Always great food made fresh and great service. The Misubi is awesome and I love the breaded White Fish. A healthy fresh alternative to fast food in a casual relaxed setting.

    Chicken Katsu

    I love me some Hawaiian BBQ and Ono definitely hooks it up. The portions here are massive and feed for me a couple of days. I got the chicken Katsu plate and their island fire chicken plate with a side musubi. Their Katsu is a classic panko fried chicken and is normally pretty good. Although this time around I felt like the pieces were fattier than normal. The island fire chicken was delish. Just enough spice at the end of each bite, but not overpowering. My wife, who is not a heat seeker, even loved this plate and thought the spiciness was at a good level. Like I said, the portions her are very generous and I had so much Island chicken leftover, I put some into the air fryer the next day and made myself some spicy chicken tacos! I got my food to go, but they do have a spacious dining room if you wanna dine in. If not, the service is speedy and your to-go order will be ready before you can, "mahalo!"

    Arrived!

    10/15/24 BOGO Chicken Combo! Great deal! Thank you! Arrived and they were busy. Worker greeted and said she would be with me in a bit. Waited. Very nice inside. Music playing. Cool and calm. Shortly later, ordered the BOGO deal and paid for it. Received receipt with order number to be called when it was ready. Got some hot sauce while waiting. Makes lunch better! =)~late, order called and received! The worker was happy to give me some sauces to take with a thank you!, Lunchtime! My chicken combo was DELICIOUS! Great pasta salad, & rice. Fresh salad underneath the meat. BBQ chicken, was tender, moist and flavorful! Fried chicken was Great too! You get A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! Mother said hers was fresh & Great! We both have lots of leftovers! Good service & Great lunch! Highly recommended!

    I always love Ono. It is truly a great meal to have and feels balanced to me all the time. I forgot to take a picture of my barbecue chicken plate but I did take a picture of the cream cheese rangoons. I love the rangoons! They are so creamy! The barbecue chicken plate is also my favorite plate to get. The chicken is perfectly cooked all the time. So good with the teriyaki sauce. I also love the macaroni salad. I get two scoops of the macaroni salad and one scoop of rice. The servers were kind and helpful and greeted me at the door. The inside of the restaurant is very open and clean. The ceilings are high and there is a lot of seating.

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix
    Ariyana J.

    Got my food from this place using Uber Eats today. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ mix (comes with BBQ chicken, BBQ beef and Kalbi short ribs, a scoop of rice and Mac salad) with a side salad. Idk how to feel about any of the food I received. I was very hungry so I dove right in. Within 5 minutes I felt meh. The flavors just weren't giving what they were supposed to give..I never tried this place before in the past and I was disappointed. I think it was the taste of the BBQ sauce they used for the chicken..just had a weird taste that I can't explain. The beef also tasted funny. The Mac salad was ok and the side salad was also ok. The white rice was overcooked. I'm giving the place 3 stars because the portion size was insane in a good way. This place will make sure you're full but should put more effort into making sure the food tastes good and not funny.

    This is the carcinogenic mess they cook your food in. Do not be fooled by the cover up that is their sauces!
    Saemlinh I.

    This is the third update. Why, pray tell, would I EVER come back with having submitted 1 star reviews previously TWICE?! Well, eager listener, it's the coupon. An opportunity to find that they could potentially better their business when the criticism is both harsh and deserving. Let me keep this short for the sake of your and my sanity. Teriyaki chicken was dry. The cashier was dry. The staff providing the food was oddly rude. The experience went exactly like this: Now, this is a story all about how, my life got flipped-turned upside... oh wait, wrong experience. I asked for a small bag to place the sauce ramekins separately, and the lady said in a dry voice, "it's right there." I said excuse me?! And she said, "it's right there," while pointing at the bags she was actively working on. Didn't realize that was a pile that we could take from as her hands were all over it. To be blunt, the ambiance here is as dry as Jared Kushner's personality.

    #5 Seafood Mix (Crispy Shrimp, Island White Fish and BBQ Chicken) has scoop of rice and macaroni salad & side of crab Rangoon.

Dog House Grill has the BEST tri-tip sandwiches ever! Trust me, I have tried others and nothing compares. Upon arrival, parking is always full. If you have some time to wait, it will start to clear slowly. Entrance always has a long line to order food. Another way to order is inside where you find a table by the bar area and be served by a waiter/waitress. The ambiance is sports related so you'll see big screen TVs everywhere with all kind of sports playing and sports decor on the walls. Seating can be a bit of a wait since it's always busy so you kinda have to stand around and wait for tables to clear out or you might even get lucky and find one right away. Ordering is easy, big screens for menus upon entering and cashiers waiting to take your order. Once you order your food, it's a bit of a wait until they call your number. Our order today was 2 tri tip sandwiches and a side of fries. Totaling out $40. - Tri-tip sandwiches are $17 each. Worth it every single time. 1000/10 - Side of fries is actually a pretty large order. Seasoned a bit and for the size and taste 8/10 All in all, a great place to eat. I crave this often and it's located near the Savemart Center/Fresno State area which you can't miss. You can even smell it from a close distance. But in all seriousness, go try it. You won't regret it.

After waiting to get in it took 40 minutes to get our food if not longer. We got a few things 1. Fried chicken - it was good, crispy and juicy 2. Ribs - we hated these they were drenched in sauce. I would prefer sauces on the side. It ruined them and they were on the tough side. 3. Rice and gravy - enjoyed this 4. Spaghetti - it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Had a strange aftertaste 5. Spicy cabbage - it was not spicy it was sweet and gooey and it was not good 6. Cornbread - a bit burnt for our liking 7. Lemon pudding cake - this was decent but also overly sweet. By the time we left the staff warmed up to having people there. They also charged 2 dollars for water which I thought was not okay. Water should be free at any restaurant. We paid 6 dollars for koolaid as well which is very high but it was good. Our entire bill was 46 and I feel like for what we got it wasn't a good deal. The restrooms were disgusting. I am not sure if I would be back. I was really looking forward to this place but I'll stick with chef Paul's.

They ran out of their 2 cobblers, chicken lollipop (I usually find that they run out of this often) and pork belly today. Took 10 mins to get food after ordering. A good amount of spots to eat inside and outside. We ordered two 2-meat plates + cornbread. All in all, we had their brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, and ribs + coleslaw, potato salad, Mac & cheese, and beans as sides. We've tried almost everything at earlier visits and burnt ends are still my fav. All meats are tasty with their special rub, as well as their OG bbq sauce on the burnt ends. No notes for any of the sides- just delicious! Also if you like some heat, definitely get their spicy BBQ sauce on the side. This will forever be my fav BBQ spot!
