    I barely got any chicken this is wack

    This amount of chicken is unacceptable if I saw my plate before walking out I would've ask for a refund.

    I love this Hawaiian BBQ spot. I have been ordering here since 2022 and my go to spot when ordering online for BBQ.

    Chicken Katsu Mini Meal

    Get my Hawaiian fix from here! Especially love their chicken katsu and spam musubi. The mini meal has so much food and is a great price.

    My hair on bottom, not as thick or as dark

    I usually have a great experience at Ono. They have great food and the workers have always been friendly and professional. But tonight was not one of those times. I online ordered our meal for a pick up 30 minutes before closing and when I arrived I drove though the drive thru and was not greeted at the prompter. As I waited far too long, the cars in front of me had moved up and another vehicle was behind me so I proceeded to the window. While I was still in line I heard the car behind was having their order being taken. As I pulled up to the window, the cashier, whom had her back to the window, turned slightly and looked out of the corner of her eye seeing me then just walked to the back; no greeting or I'll be right with you, nothing!! Worse part is, I can see my order sitting on the counter. After a few minutes she finally returned and opened the window, she said nothing and just stared at me, I told her I'm here for my online order which she grabbed off the counter, the only one there and the one I was staring at, and she handed it to me with an upset, almost bothered attitude. Every drive thru attendant has asked if I'd like any sauces with my order but not her; she was very very unprofessional. That was just the start of my bad experience. I shrug off drive thru episode and when I get home I begin eating. About halfway through my meal I noticed a Hair in my to go box. I thought maybe it could be one of mine but it looked to dark so I pulled out a string of my hair to compare showing they are completely different. I could not finish my meal after that. I love Ono Hawaiian but will never be going back to that same particular location again

    our daughter and her kids meal bag. Amazing kids meal

    The food was bomb we eat and enjoyed every bite. Evan my kids loved it it's a true win for us. Yum yum we are definitely coming back for the family meals. And there collectable bags are the cutest. The service was superior to other places we have been . The whole environment when we walked in was welcoming and serene.

Then guy who told the girl to seat us was just standing around d chit chatting with another employees for about 15 minutes before he even came to our table. He never even introduce himself. He just took our order. Another 20 mins came by before our food was served. OUR FOOD WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE. Short Rib was ok. The macaroni was stale and OLD! It was dry and not fresh! We asked for extra BBQ sauce and that didn't arrive for another 15 mins. We had to wave down another employee to try to get the sauce to us. I wouldn't recommend this place! Horrible service. Didn't even come around to see if we needed anything or if everything was good or not. We came here around 1:30pm on 3/16. The restroom was also out of paper towels and soap from the soda dispenser. Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

If you come across any negative review about anyone here at the bar, I can confidently say it does not reflect the people I--and many others--have experienced. In all my visits, I've never once seen her or the staff handle anything with anything less than professionalism and kindness. As a patron, one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Maple Block is because of the people. The staff creates such a welcoming, positive atmosphere, which really stands out--especially in an area where you can occasionally encounter challenging situations. Take any negative reviews with a grain of salt and urge you to go see for yourself!!!! Maple Block has consistently been a great experience for me, and I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10 will come again

I usually go with the Angus beef rib (soy tare) and toro beef (soy tare), and the combo comes with rice, salad, and miso soup. At $15.95 (before tax), it's a great value for two meat options. Another thing I like -- though it might not be for everyone -- is that you get to cook your own meat. I prefer my meat done a certain way, so it's nice having that control, and everyone can cook it to their own preference. One downside is that service can be slow during lunch hours, as they often seem understaffed.

I do wish they let us know about the included miso soup wasn't vegetarian at first because I had to switch it for the seaweed salad later but at least the staff were very accommodating. I guess the negative would be is it felt like a "rushed" experience and the food didn't blow me away. But compared to everything with roast costs, I still think it's pretty decent and they have a good "happy hour".

Back in the day, you had to get there early because the place STAYED PACKED, and their ribs were THEE reason to go. They were hands down some of the best ribs I ever had as a kid. They put me on. Fast forward 15-20 years later, and today was my first time coming back since my teenage years. I tried calling ahead to place an order, but couldn't get through. Honestly, that didn't surprise me because Woody's was always busy. I figured it was still the same old Woody's. Then I pulled into the parking lot around 6 PM on a Thursday. Immediately, there was parking available. That alone felt odd. No line. Plenty of parking. Not a single customer inside. That should have been my first sign. We ordered beef ribs, sliced brisket, mac and cheese, and dessert. They were out of the banana pudding, so we settled for peach cobbler. The total was around $50, which isn't bad for dinner for two. The excitement really started to hit when we got home and opened everything up. Unfortunately, that's when reality set in. The mac and cheese was terrible. Completely flavorless, watery, and mushy. The pasta was so overcooked it practically fell apart and blended together like baby food. It tasted old and had absolutely no seasoning or richness whatsoever. First and last time ordering that. Next was the brisket. The slices were gray, dry, and looked like they'd been sitting around for a while. I took one bite and immediately said, "Absolutely not." Another disappointment. But I wasn't too worried yet because I came for one thing: THE RIBS. The flavor was actually still there. The sauce and seasoning reminded me of the Woody's I remembered. BUT THE TEXTURE... A completely different story. The ribs weren't tender, weren't juicy, and definitely weren't falling off the bone. They were tough enough that I found myself working for every bite. At that point, the empty parking lot, empty dining room, and lack of lines made a lot more sense. By the end of the meal, I ended up rinsing the remaining ribs off so my dog could enjoy them as a chew toy. What hurts most isn't the bad meal--it's seeing what was once a legendary BBQ spot become a shadow of what it used to be. I almost wish I hadn't come back because it tarnished some really great childhood memories for me. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I also believe in being honest. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but based on this experience, Woody's is not the Woody's I remember, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. If it's any consolation, the cobbler was okay. But not worth going out of my way for.
