It's been a while since my last visit, but I was really impressed! We came in because we received a buy-one-get-one-free coupon in the mail, and I'm so glad we did. The portions are very generous, and I love that the rice plates come with cabbage and broccoli. Best of all, they cook everything to order, so you know your food is fresh and hot. The food was delicious, the portions were worth it, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back more often. Highly recommend if you're craving fresh, flavorful Hawaiian BBQ! read more

A decent spot for Hawaiian BBQ. Better than most franchises around Sacramento. I think this place comes down to preference more than anything. Ordered the Trio BBQ plate and the spicy chicken plate. Both lacked that Hawaiian flavor overall and the BBQ char, but it was decent. The beef was the star for me, while my partner did not like the spicy chicken at all, hardly touched it, but really enjoyed the Spam Musubi and the macaroni salad (which she normally hates from these spots). The spicy chicken just tasted like pure spices, almost like Indian food, but if it wasnt cooked down enough. Which is fine if thats your style, I am sure some people love it. Overall I think for the price its a decent spot. Seemed pretty busy and in my opinion is far better than the other franchise option I will not name. Saw people using coupons so keep an eye out for those. Great service, clean restaurant, decent sauce options and it didn't take long for the food, which seemed to have been an issue with other reviews. read more

I ordered a spam musubi not rice musubi. I ordered 8 pieces, which was about $30. The spam was consistently paper thin in all eight of them loaded with a pound of rice on each piece. I would appreciate at least a partial refund. This is ridiculous! read more

Ono Hawaiian barbecue has been very reliable for fresh, tasty and reasonably priced food. I really enjoyed their Lava shrimp when it was offered and hope it comes back! Their Chicken Katsu continues to be a favorite of ours. The Island Fire Chicken is delicious with a medium spice level. The salad that comes with the Aloha plates is quite heavy on the red onions, and since I'm not a huge fan of red onions, I picked them out and enjoyed the salad much more without them. The portions are generous. There is self serve teriyaki and katsu sauce available too. There is ample parking and the seating indoors is clean and bright. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Today went to go to this place to pick up food for my girlfriend who loves this place. They prepared the food in a very quick manner and I was impressed. Unfortunately, they did forget the pie that I ordered but since it's something small, it's not too much of a big deal. read more

I do recommend this place. The food is good. I don't like shrimp however this was really good that I said to my husband I would like to eat it again. The place is ok. Needs to be more clean though. Like the tables and such. I had to ask the lady who works there to clean the table please so that my husband and I can sit there and eat. The people that works there they were nice. The service is more like McDonalds type of service. Eh. Try it out for yourself read more

This Hawaiian restaurant had THE FRESHEST WHITE FISH, I have ever had!!! I got the white fish and chicken lunch plate. It came with very fresh fish and very fresh veggies underneath my meat and fish. I loved every bite of their food. It was fantastic. We sat outside and ate because we had our dog with us. So it is somewhat dog friendly. read more

Great quick bite place. Priced reasonably. And taste is great . It's healthier than other semi fast food places . Plenty of parking outside and staff are super friendly and helpful . It takes liger to prepare and cook the food but that's the only downside about this . Overall great ambiance for lunch or a grab and go place read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - 8$shrimp plate was great - Hawaiian Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

I've been here many times and the customer service is usually not great at all however last night 11/15/25 Ari provided exceptional service. I will be back. Thank you! Food was made well. It's always clean inside. read more

As a Hawaiian, I can appreciate the flavors and textures of their beef and chicken offerings. I typically hit them up and get a bbq mix plate and an extra scoop of Mac salad. Had it several times over the years at many different locations and the consistency is there. One and only draw back is the wait time to get the food. Not really their fault though because if it's cooked to order ya can't have stuff just sitting. Also wish their crab Rangoons were more crispy on the bottom once we get home. It maybe due to the "bedding" they use (which I cannot recall for the life of me tho). Anyhow 4/5 will be back! read more

Well I got here at about 11:05 AM. It's about 11:30 now and still working on my food. All the other customers have been waiting at least 30 20 minutes as well. Seems like this place could use a competent manager... read more

They give you a lot of food for the price, you can almost share one of their plates. The gals I dealt with behind the counter were very nice and helpful on me explain their menu. Honestly my husband and I wouldn't have gone to this restaurant if it wasn't for the coupons we received in the mail. I'm glad we gave them a try . read more

I went in for lunch on Thursday. It was pretty busy and I got my food around 15-20 mins after ordering. I ordered fish & chicken plate as the entree and musubi as the side. - fish & chicken combo: delicious! The fish had crispy breading & cooked perfectly. The grilled chicken was flavorful and tender. The macaroni salad was good and delicious. The self-served teriyaki sauce complemented the chicken perfectly. The portion was generous and I was super stuffed by the end of the meal - spam musubi: delicious! Who doesn't like spam?! - beef & chicken combo: very good. Both meat was tender & cooked perfectly. They marinated the meat well and they were flavorful. read more

Was craving Hawaiian so came I couldn't decide between two or three star. I don't hate it. But I also don't love it. It's expensive for a Hawaiian bbq mix plate. The amount you get is not worth it. Shortrib is always delicious. Chicken is decent -needs sauce big time. Beef is alright. I don't like that bed of veggies that sits there. Hawaiian Mac was decent. The spam musubi is probably the worst one. It resembled a sushi burrito more than spam musubi. The shape and huge globs of rice. Just kinda ruins it. All in all. It's a decent location. One of the better OnOs I've been too. But it's not worth the price to me. read more

I will say that "Ono Hawaiian BBQ" has put their name on the map all throughout California and Arizona. With dozens of locations in the greater Sacramento area, Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Phoenix metropolitan area, they've been the spot for some delicious, authentic Hawaiian food on the west coast ever since 2002. The location I am focusing on is in Rancho Cordova, CA. Located in a busy strip mall at 10841 Olson Dr., this Ono Hawaiian BBQ has been in operation dating back to the summer of 2019. Since I work in the Rancho Cordova area, I came here during my lunch on the afternoon of Tuesday 5/23/2023 at around 12:15pm. Parking can be busy during lunch time since this has always been known to be a crowded area most of the time. Upon entering, many tables were occupied with patrons dining in. There are several tables that seat up to 4 guests as well as a long communal table that can comfortably seat about 8. Furthermore, they offer a self-serve fountain drink area as well as a cooler that sells Hawaiian Sun canned beverages and bottled waters. Since I was in the mood for a filling lunch, I went with their "Hawaiian BBQ Chicken" plate lunch (for $11.79). This consisted of two very generous pieces of boneless/skinless chicken that is coated and sautéed in their signature teriyaki sauce complete with two heaping scoops of steamed white rice, macaroni salad, and a bed of veggies. Total time it took for my order to go through to when I got my food was roughly 10 minutes. Keep in mind that it was quite busy so if you're a limited lunch break, I would suggest calling in your order ahead of time. After making the quick 5-minute drive back to my office, I opened up the packaging and loved how generous the portions were. The chicken was seasoned well while the rice was fairly moist. Since I have been to other locations, I kind of had an idea of how their food tastes. I also enjoyed dipping the chicken into the included sauces; teriyaki and katsu. And for the price you pay, you're getting a large enough portion that can almost cover two meals. Overall, this location has above average customer service, spacious interior, and quick ready-to-eat food. With that said and done, I am giving the Rancho Cordova "Ono Hawaiian BBQ" an above average four stars. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Teriyaki Chicken plate w/rice and macaroni salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Ono... is oh yes!! Yes please on the good simple, delicious Island-ish themed food. Plus great pricing for the value. The counter service eatery is in Rancho Cordova and is super close off Highway 50, Zinfandel Drive exit. It's in the same shopping plaza with Target, Daiso, and a bunch of other shops. Several weeks ago, I dropped on in for dinner. I ordered the short rib plate and an order of cream cheese wontons. The short ribs are Korean style, marinated slices of beef rib cross. It's grilled and taste sooo good. Great taste from the marinade and the grilling. The plate came with a side of Hawaiian macaroni salad. I liked it. It's made true to the typical Hawaiian mac salads that I've eaten in my lifetime. For the folks that need more flavor, just doctor it up with the condiments provided which included siracha. I also bought a can of Hawaiian Sun soda. Luv that stuff. The sodas are made using sugar and not HFCS. They come in a bunch of different flavors such as mango, passion fruit, and kiwi strawberry. They even had young coconuts. I was told that they don't always have those and when they do, they tend to sell out quickly. The cashier was terrific, I can't remember his name... I think it was Ashton. He had a great attitude, knowledgeable about the menu, and expedited orders out to customers quickly. He didn't rush customers as he answered questions but also didn't dilly dally. The place was clean. Well because Ashton and crew was keeping it so. They even had a box of plastic gloves at the self serve condiment counter. They offered several different types of sauces. read more

6/15/23 Came in and grabbed dinner on the way home from the airport and ordered 3 plates (KALBI short ribs, chicken Katsu, island fire chicken) and a large fountain drink. Staff was friendly and since I was beating the dinner rush, I was in and out quick. It's super clean and the condiment bar is awesome and they were nice enough to give me a bag for my sauce in case of spillage. Mahalo Ono! We'll be back. read more

The service, sauce, mac, rice, etc. was good. However, I got the Hawaiian BBQ Beef and my friend got the Hawaiian BBQ Mix and it was very hard to eat because of how fatty and tough the meat was. I know that some people don't mind it, but we personally had to spit a few pieces out because of how hard it was to eat. The taste of the meat was good but hard to ignore the texture! read more

Came here for lunch after doing some shopping. They are located in the same plaza as Ross, Target, etc. Indoor seatings were available as well as take outs. They offer different types of meats. Chicken, beef, pork and seafood. They also have kids meal. I ordered the Hawaiian bbq mix. Which consists of kalbi short ribs, beef and chicken. Also added a side of the fresh mix salad. Food was ready within 5 mins. Super fast! The bbq mix was really good. The rice was a bit too mushy though. Maybe that was how it supposed to be. Salad was good. The salad was a good addition to the heavy meal. Portion for the plate was huge. Had some leftovers. Self serve soft drinks and dipping sauces station. read more

I like that Ono Hawaiian BBQ at this location is in a quiet area of the parking lot. I can find a parking spot much more effortless. The BBQ Mix I ordered is ready in 10 minutes. It tastes perfect. The portion is considerable. Perfect for my hungry stomach. The dining room is clean with lots of sunlight. It is a little too warm in the summer afternoon if the table is next to the window. Other than that, the dining room is comfortable. I enjoy having my meals here when I'm in the area. read more

Pretty solid and dependable quality food. Not as good as Big Island BBQ in Folsom but this location is in our more traveled path so we have stopped by about 3 times this Fall. Love the beef, chicken Katsu, chicken crab Rangoons. The spam Musubi here is not my favorite but it's good. Customer service has been excellent and the restaurant is 10/10 for cleanliness. Lots of menu options including many combo plates of hundreds of possibilities for combinations. Couldn't resist adding the crab rangoons last night and super glad I did because they are ahhmanzing. read more

Restaurants like Ono Hawaiian BBQ are places we get excited to try because it brings us back to our experience in Hawaii. From the food and drinks to the island music played in the background , it never gets old. We ordered the White Fish & Island Fire Chicken combo, 2 Spam Masubi's, and Chicken Katsu. It was about 4 pm on a Saturday with only one person before us and our meal still took a while to be served. These plates took about 20 minutes but guess we can confidently say our food is made fresh to order. We also got two Hawaiian Sun drinks which we can never find!! Strawberry Guava Nectar and Lilikoi Lychee, both delicious! My boyfriend enjoyed the White Fish but the Fire Chicken wasn't his favorite. He felt there was more spiciness than actual island or Hawaiian flavor. And for those wondering the spice was more of a back heat. Spam Masubi's had a drizzle of what may have been a teriyaki/soy sauce on the rice then stacked with the spam and seaweed. YUM! Chicken Katsu had the perfect crunchy exterior while still remaining moist. We plan to come back again yet will order a different combo avoiding the Island Fire Chicken. read more

Ordered the katsu meal and had no taste. It tasted funny and I've had katsu from other places and by far this is the worse. Not ONO at all.

7/14/2021: Ono Hawaiian BBQ has Maui on my mind, indeed-LOL! On July 2, 2021, I left Kahului, Maui and now, I have returned to NorCal with this insatiable urge, this egregious hankering for MORE Hawaiian BBQ! Waaaah~What is wrong with my distinctive palate, eh? While in Maui, I inhaled a lot of seafood so, no doubt, I had no choice but, continue my Hawaiian BBQ seafood, inhalation saga. I ordered my food to-go, since seating was limited inside due to COVID which is completely understandable. Due to the unbearable, 99° Fahrenheit, hot weather and upon arriving home, I didn't have to reheat my Ono seafood meal, i.e., I immediately began my seafood inhalation session! Not one morsel was left which typically, I usually save my seafood dinner for the next inhalation session; however, not THIS time-GONE! read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - 7/14/2021: Ono Hawaiian BBQ has Maui on my mind, indeed! - Hawaiian Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Yes, yes and yes!! If you're ordering for a crowd and want the most bang for your buck, the family meal is the way to go. We had the island fire chicken, katsu chicken and BBQ pork with steamed rice and Hawaiian mac. I ordered crab Rangoon for hubby. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Always delicious. I'm impressed with your recipes so much that I have taught myself to cook some of them. I can successfully make the Hawaiian mac, chicken katsu and kaluha pork, which I'm making for Christmas. Thank you for your inspiration. read more

On Thursday my boyfriend and I ordered takeout from this location for the first time. We were greeted by their sweet cashier Katelyne whom placed our order. We ordered the Ono Family Meal with Kalbi Short Ribs, Kalua Pork and Island Fire Chicken. Our meal came with Macaroni Salad and White Rice and each protein was on a bed of Cabbage, Sautéed Onions and Broccoli. The meal says it feeds 4 but it lasted us 7 meals, definitely a good bang for your buck!! Kalbi Short Ribs~ These ribs were meaty and marinated to perfection, our mouths are watering just thinking about these! My boyfriend wished we had more ha ha! Kalua Pork~ Roasted pig has been a favorite of mine since visiting Kauai as a child and it brought back some delicious memories! I enjoyed every mouthful! Island Fire Chicken~ Saucy, spicy and flavorful would be the best way to describe this delicious chicken! Macaroni Salad~ This was hands down the best Mac Salad I've ever had, sauced just right and incredibly flavorful! I went in for seconds! Rice~ Cooked to perfection, this rice was nice and fluffy and paired well with our meal! Hawaiian Sun Green Tea with Ginseng~ This Hawaiian tea was both sweet and flavorful and you could really taste the ginseng, it went down pretty quickly! I would highly recommend this location, Ono means "Good to Eat" in Hawaiian and they aren't lying, we'll definitely be making a return visit soon! Thank you Ono Hawaiian BBQ, support local, especially now when they need our business the most! Happy National Comfort Food Day! read more

First time here and I really like the food. I like how it was not salty or greasy and just very moist. The service was nice, there is a guy who welcomes everyone in with a hello and calls out your order. I like how you can get as much katsu sauce or teriyaki sauce as needed. The vibe is really relaxing playing Hawaiian and Disney music in the background. I really enjoyed my first experience here and def will go back. Also great food portions for chicken katsu and nice how they chop it for the teriyaki chicken (very soft chicken breast). read more

Finally, a fast food Hawaiian joint with quality food! LOCATION: My go to spot is the one on Olson Drive in rancho due to proximity and speed. DECOR: Love the teal accents and natural floor to ceiling wood plank wall. The place feels inviting and friendly with an upper vibe to it. PRICE: For what they serve in those barbecue plates, it's like a 2 for 1 deal. A barbecue chicken plate feeds 2 and is $12. I have never finished an entire plate alone. DRINKS: Those Hawaiian sun drinks are your best options considering the rest are the standard beverages from the machine. Try the pineapple or strawberry. FOOD: NEXT-LEVEL taste! The barbecue chicken plate is my favorite. You WILL NOT be disappointed. The macaroni salad is the only one I like. For the rest of you, I don't like macaroni salad. Lol. The spam-Musubi is worth the price of admission. I know, I know. Spam?! Wrapped in seaweed? And rice? But wait until you try a bite. You're welcome. And if not, at least I know they won't be sold out. STAFF: Always kind and courteous. Really overworked right now with covid, but they still manage to deliver my order just as deliciously as they did in 2019. EXPERIENCE: Everytime I go here, it's like clockwork. I mean, it's a fast food restaurant After all. A healthier one though and that's why I like it. They are never stingy with the portions and always toting the Aloha spirit. read more

Decided to try this place out one evening. We ordered the two item chicken katsu and teriyaki chicken with rice and salad. The food was perfectly portioned and still warm when received via DoorDash. The food was good and they also gave us extra teriyaki sauce on side which was nice. We also got a side of the crunchy shrimp. The shrimps were a good size but without the sauce on side for dip it wouldn't be so flavorful. Overall it was a good place and if you want something quick and fresh, this would be the place. read more

Amazing always has the best food I love me some Hawaiian food and baby this is the closest to it you're gonna get in Sacramento

I've come here multiple times in the last few months, and every time it was on point! I always get the kalua pork rice plate, which is what I usually order at every Hawaiian bbq place I go to. My favorite kalua pork rice plate has always been at this location! It's always served hot, great portions, and I like that they include broccoli with it in addition to the cabbage that typically comes with it. Their Mac salad is good too. When I've ordered over the phone for pickup, it's usually ready within 15 minutes and I've never had to wait when I arrive. read more

Order ahead if you're getting lunch from work! We waited about 20 minutes for our food. The food was good, good-size portions but not like other Hawaiian food restaurants. The inside was clean and stylish. The cashier didn't pronounce some of the dishes properly, but she was nice and answered all of our questions. We ate here because it was close to my hun's work. I don't know if I'd go back with all the other places to eat unless I was craving fish. They did the fish really well; nice and light, no heavy sauce. I tried his Teriyaki Mahi as well. Just enough flavor. I didn't eat any of the cabbage, but there was still enough food to be filling. It was a little more expensive than other Hawaiian food places also. read more
