    Outside small mini menu

    4 star for fast food is like a 5 star for a restaurant. I am so happy we have a totaly unique fast food option other than hamburgers and chicken. It's a wonderful option to have. I have enjoyed everything I have tried here from all the different chicken, beef and shrimp options they have. I absolutely love love love the macaroni salad. I am trying to lose weight currently so I love the mini meal options. Just the right amount of food and calories I don't have to feel guilty. Also their steamed vegetables, the cabbage and broccoli, um no guilty feeling eating that thank you very much. Haha To keep it simple this place makes me happy when I eat their and that's always a good thing. It's my happy place. Haha Pro tip: if you like the maccaroni salad like I do, you can double up your order and be extra happy. Don't worry I won't tell anyone. It will be our little secret haha

    Small side salad - raw onions ruined it even with the dressing.  Wouldn't recommend
    T P.

    I placed an order through Uber eats. Short rib plate (rice, macaroni salad and steamed vegetables) and small salad. Unfortunately I only enjoyed the steam vegetables. Short ribs and Mac salad were under seasoned. The small salad had over powering raw onions that ruined the salad. The small side of dressing isn't enough for the amount of salad. I was really disappointed in the meal. Not returning nor so I recommend. Chef needs to taste the food.

    It was my birthday today. I chose to try this place again.I was very disappointed. I got a cold plate, with cool meat, not hot at all. It tasted like it was left overseas and they tried to just heat it up. I had a lousy dinner for my birthday. In the past when I came u got a whole piece of chicken and a nice size Korean rib. Or whatever they call that. I got a piece of chicken that looked like someone tore it into. The giblets thing, it was also torn looking. The Mac salad awful! Last time I was there it was good and way better! This honestly was no good. Then I found a piece of raw chicken in my sauce. I almost gagged. I didn't call them, because this was it for me! I will go to Riverbank next time, they always seem to get it right. Below is picture.

    Maggots

    Got the chicken Katsu and ate half of it without knowing they served me food with maggots and the chicken was raw. I went in to show them and got a refund but I still think people should know that they have maggots in their veggies so that tells me they ain't checking their food and not washing it. The chicken is also not being cooked properly.

    Drive-thru does not take these orders

    The food here is average but the portions are huge! It's a great value and the food is pretty decent.

    DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION- YOU WILL GET SICK! If I could…read moregive this place 0, I would. The reviews definitely don't reflect the actual service and food at this location. Starting off, my best friend and I were in Modesto for Barnes and Noble to get some books for my son. This location being right next to the bookstore was convenient so we went inside. The young girl who served us looked disgusted the moment my best friend said she'd never eaten there and wasn't sure how to order. She looked at her like she was stupid and just said what do you want and was not helpful whatsoever. She got the small poke bowl and I got a small donburi bowl. After what took over 5 minutes for her getting our two bowls from us, she walked away after I paid and I had to ask another worker for a lid to my bowl. Whatever, service sucked, maybe she was having a bad day? We sat down to eat (still hadn't gotten the chicken tempura and gyoza I had ordered for my son). Before my son's food even was ready I had bitten into a very bad piece of shrimp tempura that tasted as if the inside of the batter was covered in mold. I immediately spit it back out into a napkin and just sat there about to throw up. I sat there thinking this is probably just a mistake and maybe I imagined it. Then my son showed me his chicken that he said he didn't want to eat. It was old, rubbery, did not resemble chicken at all, and had black stuff around the chicken under the batter. I went to the worker who was at the counter and told her what we had received. She didn't seem surprised at all, but more surprised I wanted a refund for the two items that were spoiled. No manager onsite, apparently they usually aren't there. She called the manager who did not answer the phone but proceeded to text the worker. Asking exactly what happened several times and then proceeded to say the black on the chicken is seasoning before it's fried, which is not true because the come pre battered and it was just old. I had accepted no refund on the chicken for the ridiculous excuse, but I wanted a refund on the donburi bowl at the very least. The manager asked her to open my napkin and send a pic of the shrimp!!!! THAT IS SO NASTY! That young girl does not get paid enough to be doing all of that. That is revolting! I ended up opening it for her so she didn't have to so she could and a pic. Then the manager stopped responding to her by text. That's fine, Manager, that's fine. You should've just given me a refund for your nasty ass food that was not edible. Now you'll be receiving a visit from the county health department as they were called the moment I left your restaurant because of the food being kept at room temperature, your dirty facility, and the spoiled food you're serving to paying customer. This idiot sent me into my Karen era and I do not even care. Don't mess with people's food. Good luck.

On our way home from a concert in Turlock, I suggested we try the Ono Hawaiian place in south Ceres. We came in; no one greeted us, so we went to the digital ordering system. I input my order: the fire chicken with mac, rice, and mixed veggies. My wife put in a fish dish with her sides. We paid and sat down. Twenty minutes later, we noticed that people who had come in and ordered after us were served and gone (they did not order online, came in and ordered, waited, got their meals, and left), so I went up to the counter, and since no one was paying attention (again), I had to call out to get someone to wait on me. He came over and I told him what we ordered and that we had been waiting. I had also noticed that my wife's was on the bill, but my Fire Chicken had disappeared. I had ordered it first. He seemed confused from the outset, took notes on what I was saying, crossed out my wife's order, and put in another order, this time for just my part (he left out hers completely). Here we are, two people, with two orders placed, sitting, waiting. A few minutes later (now it was 30+ past when we ordered), they called our number. My wife went to get it, and after we unpacked it at our table, we noticed that hers was indeed missing. I went over to the counter and again, since no one was attending, got a young lady's attention and tried to explain the deficiency, to which she responded, "I didn't wait on you." I said, but you people forgot my wife's order, to which she replied, "I didn't wait on you." This reflects badly on her manager, for clearly he didn't train her and on her lack of understanding that she works with a team. Yelp prompts me to comment on the "ambiance," which I would say is "detached" and "unaware." We asked for a bag, took what was left of the order, went to Panda on the other side of the parking lot, got a fine meal for my wife, and told ourselves we would never come back to Ono Hawaiian Ceres again. There are so many better options nearby; skip Ono Hawaiian (maybe it's so called because when they screw up, you say, "Oh no"). For us, if a friend mentions this place, we will say, "Oh no," and tell them our story.
