    Place is always really busy but the staff is really nice and working hard at getting orders out. If you catch some sort of coupon or deal it's a pretty decent value. I tend to stick with the katsu chicken or beef. As somebody else said the macaroni is really good. You'll be full even with the mini plate. Be prepared to wait a little bit as everything's made to order so give it 10 minutes or so if they're busy before you'll get your order. Don't forget to tip your staff if you watch they're definitely working hard and earning it. Parking lot little tough at times because of the several restaurants pizza etcetera close by

    Has the menu changed ?  Every time we come here they're out of something. Tonight the salad is not the one on the menu.

    BBQ Chicken Plate

    I will not be coming here again. The chicken portion is about half to what you usually get and compared to other places. And no Mac!!?

    Dont eat here. I got a very bad case of food poisoning here. Food tasted a little off. I would never eat here again.

    I gots box and ragoons For $24, give me some meat for Christ sake. They sneak in a nice thick bed of rice underneath all the meat and then give a tiny tablespoon of meat on top. Take the rice out, I already have a scoop of rice in the box, and give me some damn meat. Ripoff rice box for $24. Give us what we pay for

    Hair in my food container.

    I typically enjoy Ono, and with the rise of fast food prices, I opted for something "healthier". I wasn't so hungry that I needed a full size plate, so I ordered the mini bbq chicken plate. MISTAKE! The portions were not there, even for a mini. One "big" piece of chicken and a couple of small ones. Small scoop or rice and mac salad, and quite a bit of sautéed veggies which out-portioned everything else. Oh, and let's not forget the hair I found. $12 for a mini plate that used to do the trick. Now, not even close. Avoiding Ono moving forward. Prices to portions are definitely not worth it. And the bonus hair seals the deal.

    A pic from outside. I dont know who this hobo is.

    Ono is a classic. When I don't feel like cooking and we want some quick food that doesn't feel like junk we go here.

    This was my first time here last March and I'm heartbroken that this location has been closed, as…read moreI've been wanting to return when I am within the area. Brisket and cheddar sandwich ($16.95): this brisket is exactly how it should be, as it was seasoned, tender, and requires only a little effort to chew since it was tender. The caramelized onions and gooey cheese went well with the brisket and the buttered toast, 5/5 stars! Large size of mac and cheese: one of the best I've had, as it was indulgent! The creamy cheese sauce was seasoned and just completely covered the tender macaroni, 5/5 stars! The service was efficient as you order at the counter and they provide your food in a timely manner, despite the constant arrival of patrons. I've noticed that the majority of orders were for take-out, but I had to dive into the food stat as soon as it was ready out of the kitchen.

They're both seasoned with a thick rub that packs serious flavor. The meat is incredibly tender and soft--just melts in your mouth. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. Sides like the mac n cheese and baked beans were just okay--not bad, but nothing special. However, the Oreo dessert waffle totally stole the show. It was absolutely amazing and the perfect sweet finish. Highly recommend for BBQ lovers who appreciate bold flavor and tender meats.

It was some of the best fried chicken I've had to this day but they closed years ago. And I moved to Temecula. So it's been on my list to go this location for a while but it's still a drive so when my son had a golf tournament at Soboba I had to make plans to take him here. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was on a move set of my childhood. The layout and furnishings were exactly like the location in Pasadena forty years ago! From the waiting area to the hostess stand to bathroom back in the far corner. Even the way the booths and tables were organized. It has a very western Americana vibe to it. The service was exceptional. The kind of service you only get in long established family owned restaurants that employ people for decades. Our waitress was great and attentive and kind. We got the onion ring stack to start. It was great but next time I'll get the zucchini fries which looked amazing. For our entrees we got the stockyard, burger and split the sides. Backed potato, salad and chili soup. The chili soup was t as good as the one I grew up going to but still passable. The backed potato was awesome! And the stockyard was great as well. Served on a sizzling metal plate everything stayed hot the whole meal. The burger was good but would probably opt for something else next time. And the Texas toast... forgedda bout it! Too bad this place doesn't have the fried chicken. I'm sure the recipe is somewhere. Wink wink...

Everything else we tried was equally bad and clearly low quality. It felt unsafe to eat. The customer service was just as bad as the food. Staff were rude dismissive and completely uninterested in fixing anything. When we complained we were ignored. No apology no concern and no accountability. This place has no business serving food. Do not waste your money or risk getting sick. There are far better options anywhere else. ill be checking to make sure this well deserved bad review stays this time. if not i have no problem reposting obviously since this is the 7th time.
