    I personally enjoy Ono. It is a great spot to through in the mix of take out or lunch stops when you need something different. Food is always pretty good and I cant get over the Mac Salad. Staff is standard for this type of establishment. Vibe is open modern with a touch of Hawaiian feel. Overall a great stop.

    Kalbi Short Ribs
    Lissa L.

    The yellow and blue interiors evoke images of the sea. Very cutesy and inviting. The decor is minimal but useful. The staff is friendly and the food is great. We got 2 kalbi short ribs and 1 garlic white fish for $54. Not bad! In this economy, that's amazing value for money.

    Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Plate, $11.99 prior to tax
    Vic C.

    This Ono Hawaiian BBQ eatery is located in the same plaza at Barnes & Noble and Victoria Secrets. They are on the opposite side and much closer to Sam's Club. My husband and I made online orders to pick up our meals this past Monday. My husband made his own order and I ordered the following for both my mother and I to share: Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Plate, $11.99 prior to tax- I figured my mom would prefer a grilled version of chicken, so I ordered this with her in mind. This entree comes with a large portion of chicken, three scoops of steamed white rice and a side of salad that is mostly shredded cabbage, carrots, purple onion and lettuce. Both my mom and I really liked the chicken and so did my husband (since he ordered a plate too). The salad was nice and hearty. I liked the flavor of it and prefer a green salad to be made with cabbage so that is can last for another day. Chicken Katsu Plate, $11.99 prior to tax- I ordered this for myself, which came with a lot of chicken. It also came with three scoops of steamed white rice and salad. If you want Katsu sauce or teriyaki sauce, you can fill up the plastic cups with them by the pick up area. I thought the chicken was pretty good. My mom also likes the chicken. The white rice for both this plate and the other one was cooked perfectly. --------------------------- (Total= $26.44 after tax) Our meals were ready when we came in. But we did wait a minute or two since the employee at the register, had her back towards us since she was looking at the kitchen. I think she may have been waiting for an order to be completed so she could pack it. The portion of food is quite a lot, which really surprised me. With these two plates, it could easily serve 3- 4 people (and yes we had leftovers). I have definitely underestimated Ono Hawaiian BBQ and would definitely consider ordering from them again in the future.

    Spam musubi

    Ono Hawaiian BBQ has Perfectly delicious Hawaiin plate  menu. The quantity is always huge and the taste is exceptional! I ordered the Island White Aloha plate and the Crispy Shrimp Aloha plate. Both of them were scrumptious and appetizing, and their sauce will add a nice kick to the flavor. I also orderd their crispy Crab Rangoon which is one of my favorite there. The place is always clean. It is busy with customers whenever you go , In addition to numerous pickup orders. The service is always fast despite their busyness. It is really a nice place to stop at and enjoy the savory food, fast and friendly service plus the affordable price.

    We always seem to get out of the house in that weird time of day between lunch and dinner. Too late and yet too early to eat something but - so musubi has become our go to snack when out and about. Ever the foodie my daughter chose a young coconut as her drink...and it was good, refreshing, and somewhere between savory and lightly sweet -- enough to hydrate and refresh at the same time. Service was prompt and the restaurant was tidy and clean. The musubi didn't disappoint- the rice was fresh, fluffy, and sticky; the spam was perfectly savory with slightly crispy edges. *chefs kiss*.

    My katsu chicken. Really dry & kind of hard!
    Jenn R.

    Last time I went the meal was excellent and it was bbq chx version of Ono Keikei meal. This time, not so good. Ordered Katsu instead. OMG! Dry and nasty as heck!! Do NOT order the Katsu from here! Bleah! It was also the most miniscule serving of rice ever. I know it's a kids meal but there was a big space in the box. They could have easily given a bit more rice. The young woman at the counter was nice enough but management needs to clue their teams in about offers. She did not know about the online meal offer. This is why I got the KeiKei meal. No clear info on the $7 meal offer.

    As a fast food chain my expectations were low. I was very hungry, far from home and didn't want to spend a lot of money at a steakhouse or expensive restaurant. This day I think my iron was low because I was I was strongly craving beef but not a burger or anything like that. I decided to check Ono Hawaiian out since they claimed to have short ribs. 9.5 out of 10 only because they were tough close to the bone. But for the most part they were tender, flavorful, and a decent portion at a decent price. For 15 bucks I got a full dinner meal of short ribs, steamed cabbage, rice and macaroni salad that was freshly made. I was pleasantly surprised. I was really impressed with the macaroni salad because most chains serve premade when it comes to cole slaw or macaroni salad and has a bitter tattle and mushy texture. This was close to my mom and grand moms Mac salad. It was clean and plenty of seating and my order was hot and ready by the time I came from washing my hands. I will certainly order again.

    Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Mini Meal
    Jon R.

    Hadn't been in a while, went in and the ladies at the counter were friendly and inviting wasn't too busy, food came out at a decent pace. The chicken katsu was good and the bbq chicken was tender. The beef was alright just a little stringy. Sauces tasted great, and the hot sauce was good. We came in because of a handed out coupon for a bowl / mini meal

    the front of the restaurant
    Ray M.

    Nice, clean and large location. Employees are very friendly and helpful and the real reason why I was her was the food. The food is soooo good and fresh. No matter what you order, as each dish will definitely leave you craving a second serving IF the first serving didn't fill you up which is rare.

    These two ribs were hidden underneath the 3rd good rib with meat. Look at how much fat to meat portion.
    Jennie W.

    If I could only put zero stars, then I would. It's funny how whoever prepared the food put half a scoop of each rice, half scoop of macaroni salad. And the meat that was served was half fat. It is not edible. And I would like to know which ever cook cooked this if they would feed that to their family or kids? Would they eat that? Also, the fact that I know the front cashier is supposed to double check the food I'm surprised they didn't notice how skimpy they scooped the rice and the macaroni salad. I've been coming here for a long time and every single time I order the ribs, they never get it right it's either too burned or too fatty. I'm pretty sure it's not about throwing away food, but they need to start bringing it up to upper management or something because that's not right serving the customers this. I cannot comment about the ambience since I did not eat, and it was a to go order.

    My order said no rice mac salad on one veges ok. $38 for not reading comments!!! Shame on you Ono!!!

My five-star rating for this restaurant is not solely based on the complimentary items. It is primarily due to the outstanding tenderness and juiciness of the beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey, and sausages. The potato salad, baked beans, and corn on the cob were also excellent accompaniments. While the buns were fresh, I found the cornbread to be a little dry. Nevertheless, I found everything to be delicious overall. I certainly plan on returning.

The lady helping us also let me try before I pick. I ended up going with their mac and cheese and green beans. I love their mac and cheese! Its rich and creamy and very good. Their brisket was good. A bit dry in certain pieces. The tray also comes with pickles, pickled onions, and slider rolls. I end up making a couple of brisket slider and they were great. They do offer ordering the meats by the pounds and you can order their sides in different sizes containers. Overall, great place for BBQ if you're in the area.

I had asked for cornbread, but they told me they couldn't add it through Uber Eats, so it wasn't included. That was understandable, and I had assumed it was free because of some older menu photos on Yelp. Since I enjoyed the food, I decided to come back and order in person to avoid miscommunication. One thing I will mention is that they didn't include BBQ sauce on the side when I ordered via Uber Eats. If you're ordering a brisket sandwich, the sauce that's already on it isn't really enough. Today, I specifically asked to buy two pieces of cornbread because that was what I was really looking forward to. By the time I got home, I ate my sandwich and found a piece of hair in it. Not ideal, but mistakes happen. Then I went to get my cornbread and realized it wasn't in the bag at all. I had specifically asked for it, and I don't know whether I was charged for it because I didn't ask for a receipt since I paid by card. The workers were very friendly, and the food itself has been good except for the hair in my sandwich and today's Mac and cheese was very salt Overall my experience was pretty disappointing because again I did not get the corn bread I specifically came for and the hair in my food and the Mac and cheese was so salty I didn't even eat it. Last time I ordered the Mac and cheese was so good but not today

I will gladly and without hesitation put Canyon City Barbeque up there as some of the best Barbeque I have ever had in my life. When I say I dream of their Barbeque, I mean it.

It was enough meat for 3 hungry adults with leftovers. The sampler let us to try every cut of meat they had, and every cut is barbecued to the highest level of quality for the cut. The brisket and ribs were our personal favorites. I was also blown away by how perfect the chicken was. Every side is pure deliciousness. Don't sleep on the cornbread. I wish we would've ordered even more. The texture is perfect. Crisp crunch on the outside and perfect moisture on the inside. The way cornbread should be. The Mac and cheese and coleslaw were absolutely delicious as well. We all wish we would've bought some of their Barbeque sauce to take home. They have 2 main sauces, one for pork and one for beef. I would happily drown myself in either. Our server was very polite, attentive, and made amazing recommendations (though I'm now convinced I could close my eyes, point at the menu, and be a happy camper lol) I seldom have reason to be in the area, but I now will be looking forward to making a trip back to specifically to grab some Canyon City Barbeque.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst restaurant experience we've ever had. While we were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive, our waitress offered to bring us cornbread. She never mentioned there was a charge, didn't ask how many we wanted, and simply brought out two orders. Since she offered it and never explained it was an extra charge, we naturally assumed it was complimentary for the birthday celebration. Things only went downhill from there. The rest of our group was given a hard time at the front because they didn't know the exact name the reservation was under. We were also given grief for placing birthday presents on a chair at the end of the table, a chair the staff had placed there. We were told the chair was interfering with the wait staff, even though it wasn't blocking any walkways. It seemed like every interaction came with unnecessary attitude. Once we were all seated, our waitress seemed to have a chip on her shoulder from the start. She never brought out our ranch-style bread, rarely refilled our drinks, and repeatedly reached across the table, passing plates directly in front of people's faces instead of simply walking around to serve them properly. When our dinners arrived, our empty salad and appetizer plates were still sitting on the table. We had to ask her to clear them just so we had room for our meals. If we needed anything, we had to catch her as she hurried past our table because she never stopped to check on us. She would keep walking while we tried to ask for what we needed, so we had to quickly rattle everything off before she disappeared. To top it off, she was openly talking about our table to the guests seated behind us. It was completely unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable. The level of service was disappointing from beginning to end. When my bill came, the total didn't add up correctly. I politely pointed out the discrepancy, but instead of checking it, she came back with the menu to prove I was wrong. Ironically, the menu proved she was the one who made the mistake. She even tried telling me I was comparing the menu price to a receipt total that included tax. I had to explain that the tax was calculated separately at the bottom of the receipt. Rather than apologize, she walked away and sent the manager over. Thankfully, the manager immediately recognized the error and corrected my bill. By that point, my family had enough and just wanted to pay and leave. To make matters worse, they were told they couldn't pay until everyone at the table had received their bill. The food didn't make up for the service, either. It was hot and humid inside the restaurant, the burger was as tough as a hockey puck, they were out of beef ribs so we settled for pork ribs that were mostly fat, and the steak lacked any flavor. To top it off, the restrooms had a strong urine smell, which only added to the overall poor experience. The only highlights of the evening were the company we were with and the Costco birthday cake we brought ourselves. I had read the recent reviews before coming and hoped people were exaggerating. They weren't!!! I wanted to give this place another chance because of the great memories we had at the one in Colton, but sadly, those memories are all that's left. If you're thinking about making the drive because of nostalgia like we did, I'd recommend reading the recent reviews first. I wish we had listened. We won't be returning. Thanks for a horrible birthday experience, Sundance & staff!
