    Mold and looks like it's not cleaned in so long. Gross

    Mold in soda machine. Weird old smell when I walked in. Never coming back. Overpriced food. Doesn't even come with a drink. Terrible

    Lava Shrimp
    Scott B.

    I went to try the new Lava Shrimp Plate, and it was good flavor rice was kind of sticky and dry and the mac was good no type of flavor but good . I called in because I couldn't figure out how to use the coupon on the app. It kept showing up as a plate instead of just the Lava Seafood Plate, so I had to pick the correct one. When I asked for help over the phone, the girl was really sweet but didn't speak up and tell me how the offer worked. Hopefully, the managers are training the front desk staff on how the coupons and discounts work, since she didn't explain anything to me. I ended up paying full price because the plate I asked for wasn't the right one, and even though I mentioned the Lava Shrimp Plate, she didn't correct me to let me know it should come with vegetables instead of mac and rice. I spoke to the manager, but he just acknowledged it was the wrong order but didnt offer to remake and give me my discount idk prob didnt want to waste food i understand

    Combination BBQ Meat BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef and Galbi Short Ribs with Macaroni Salad and a couple scoops of rice
    Dwayne O.

    Ono Hawaiian BBQ Galbi, BBQ Chicken and BBQ Beef, Katsu with Curry and Macaroni Salad are all solid. Just as good as the rice plates at the beach on Oahu from the food trucks. The SPAM Musubi is not bad and a nice compliment to your meal. I have spent many days in Oahu at Sandy Beach, Bellows and Hanauma Bay and after being in the water all day, we always would get our rice plates with 2 scoops of rice, 2 scoops of macaroni salad and a couple slabs of galbi short ribs, Ono is as good and is a good reminder of the old days.

    Where is the chicken?! This is all panko breadcrumbs, eggs and oil!
    Allison B.

    Will never be back. Ordered a chicken katsu meal to go and pretty disappointed with the chicken. The meal would have been perfect if the chicken wasn't pounded to an 1/8th of an inch. I will say that the macaroni salad was very good. Goes to show that management cares more about the profit margin vs selling a quality product.

    Rice, katsu, and salad.
    Larissa L.

    The katsu and macaroni salad are delicious. I spoiled myself with spam musubi and it was worth it. The salad had a lot of flavor. The prices and portions are great and there are no complaints about the service. I found a new place to go now in Phoenix.

    Chicken Teriyaki Chicken Mini Meal

    As always, Ono is my favorite Hawaiian BBQ place in the valley. Their macaroni salad is the best and my favorite is their chicken teriyaki and then Chicken Katsu next. Service was good your typical service and not expecting as much.

    Ch8cken katsu.  They don't add sauces for any plates.

    Dont ever order Uber eats, the chicken katsu. They charged $14.59 and 8t looks like one thigh chopped up to appear more.

    Rice was cold, beef ribs are nothing but fat. Macaroni salad was good; chicken was flavorless; wheres the pride in your food?

We were offered yummy samples & all I could say was "Wow, this is damn good!" We each placed our orders. My friend & her man ordered the Family of 4 meal, which looked & smelled so good! They ate & took the rest home to have leftovers. My other friend & I both got a loaded baked potato with sausage, plus she got a side of cole slaw with hers. I knew as big as their potatoes are that I'd eat half & take the rest home, so I only got the potato. So damn good! I love that Coke products are served here. You know me & my Coke Zero! My friends come here enough that the owner, Mason, knows them well. Mason is awesome & so is his crew. Very, VERY good service, a super clean restaurant, & by far the BEST barbecue place in the valley! Mason & his assistant manager both came to our table to ask how our food was. We were all very happy with our meals & when it came time to go home, Mason brought us bags to put our to-go food home in & also brought us some delicious banana pudding to take home! If you haven't been here, you MUST go & try it! I highly recommend it & say hello to Mason & crew!

Take you friends here and definitely give their hard cider a go! -------------- Food Items: - smoked brisket: it was flavorful and just absurdly amazing. Additionally, the spice blend is amazing. The meat is just super tender and hardly tastes dry at all. A must have. - sausage: I cannot speak for this because of my dairy allergen and they weren't quite sure but definitely seems great - pork smoked ends: These were absolutely my favorite. From the sauce to the tenderness and the distinct umami from the wood smoke mixing into the pork and the fat from the cut being so tender it just melts on your tongue. Overall you have to go here and this is one of my favorite restaurants, and TAKE your friends here! The ambiance is great and the music isn't too loud where you cannot hear each other!

Comfortable, sorta on the dark side. Classy. As I was not driving today, I decided to try their smoked Old Fashioned. Excellent -- and the dark cherries they use are the perfect addition to the cocktail. (The glass is coated with smoke from a smoldering piece of pecan wood, and the cocktail was served with a cloud of smoke under a coaster covering the glass.) The pig sickles ( ribs) were the perfect chance to make a pig of myself. Had the two meat plate, pig sickles and barbecued pulled chicken, If you like corn, you must have the side of corn with your dinner. The barbecue beans were delicious. Our server did a magnificent job tending to our drinks, appetizer, and food orders -- despite being very busy (the place was packed! -- and seemed like she was in constant motion. Very nice individual who liked la Prices? It was expensive, but the best barbecue always is. Eating isn't cheap. It was well worth every dollar spent. All in all, it was a perfect dinner. The perfect parting gift: a small paper bag containing four small donuts, coated with cinnamon. Our bag didn't make it home... I think we've found the perfect place to bring our family and out-of-town guests for dinner.

The brisket was hands down my favorite. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender, sliced perfectly, and seasoned just right so the quality of the meat really shined through. Every bite was packed with smoky, savory flavor. I also have to give a shoutout to the jalapeño cheesy grits. They were incredibly creamy, almost like the consistency of queso, with just the right amount of heat. Honestly, I could've eaten an entire pint of those and been perfectly happy. As amazing as the food was, what really made this experience stand out was the hospitality. The staff was genuinely excited to hear it was my first visit and seemed just as happy that I was enjoying everything. After chatting with them for a bit, they surprised me by offering their smoked pecan pie on the house. I was completely stuffed and almost turned it down, but they insisted and I'm so glad they did. It was rich, smoky, sweet, and absolutely lip-smacking delicious. Great barbecue is one thing, but genuine hospitality is what turns a meal into a memorable experience. Between the phenomenal brisket, the addictive jalapeño cheesy grits, and that unforgettable smoked pecan pie, Little Miss BBQ has earned every bit of its reputation. The way the staff treated me made me feel like part of the family, and that's something you don't come across every day. I can't wait to come back!

Such a friendly and attentive young woman. We enjoyed chatting with her. Excellent bartender with great recommendations. I took her advice, and had the Prickly Pear Mule. Good flavor, and different than the ordinary mule. My husband had Makers Mark neat & a Dos Equis with a very cold glass. We moved to a booth, and ordered the smoked wings as an appetizer. They were outstanding! Served with carrots, celery, and 3 sauces on the side...buffalo, ranch, and bbq. It was such a generous serving , but we were determined to finish them. Next, we each ordered the 2 meat platter. I had St. Louis ribs with brisket, Mac and cheese, and the bbq beans. My husband ordered the baby back ribs, brisket, bbq beans, and pecan Cole slaw. We were both served a piece of cornbread which was so good. I also had a smoked Old Fashioned. The presentation was very well done!
