    Chicken combo plate
    Magda N.

    Ono always delivers with big serving of plate full of meat and rice. Chicken combo plate is always our go to. The hubby likes the bbq chicken and I like the chicken katsu. It's $13 per plate now Mac salad is solid as always. Really big cup of soda. No shame in sharing 1. Musubi's come in 2's and you can choose spam, beef, or chicken. Ratio of beef and rice is not too bad, but it is a lot of rice. You can probably get full from 2. Staffs are friendly and place looks nice and bright inside now.

    Fish plate

    After a long day at the snow we like to come here to eat. It's quick and delicious. I ordered fish. It was fresh and warm. They gave additional salad dressing so we can add and it was usually needed. I used to add katsu sauce to the salad when there used to be not enough dressing. Employees were friendly. My dad and I sat at the tables and devoured our food. It hits the spot.

    What's up: Grabbing food for dinner and it had been a while since we've had food from Ono. I'm craving some of their macaroni salad! Parking: Located in the Rosemead Place Shopping Center, parking can be difficult in that little corner where the Ono is located. If you're lucky, you might be able to snag a spot. If not, there's always more parking elsewhere if you don't mind a bit of walking. I usually park closer to the side with Cold Stone and Rose City Pizza and walk over...less parking frustration! Environment: Walking in, you'll see the order counter straight ahead. They have a few tables indoors where you can eat. Since we placed our order online, we went to the area marked with "Online and Prepaid Orders". After a short wait, I picked up my order and was off. What was ordered: - Hawaiian BBQ Chicken (yummy chicken and macaroni salad. Drizzle that teriyaki sauce for more yum) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The food at Ono was as good as I remembered. That macaroni salad gets me every time. Pick up was easy and I was out in no time. Credit cards are accepted.

    Pick Two: Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki
    Fanny C.

    Ono's is so nostalgic to me because I use to get it after my collegiate games. I always get the pick two because I like the salad just a bit more than I do of the mac salad (unpopular opinion). Also no sauce on my salad! They packed my bowl and I was not able to finish all at once. Ate it the day after and it was still very good! The katsu was so crispy and I wish I ate more of that the first day of eating it so it stayed crispy. The location was very clean and food came out very fast. I will be coming back to Onos soon! Stop by this location!

    Macaroni Salad and Spam Musubi. My first non- hospital meal, yay! Portions for both items are large and delicious.

    I was craving Macaroni Salad and Spam Musubi. The portions here also huge! I finished the Macaroni Salad first. Afterwards, I ate the Spam Musubi the next day. The Macaroni Salad was decent. Good amount of pasta. However, the sauce mixed with it tasted weird. A bit too tangy. I would not get this again. Spam Musubi: Two of those were hella hefty! The rice was good and thick. The Spam was also tasty. Eating this made me missed my Mom. Service was delivered via Uber Eats with plenty of napkins.

    I've always enjoyed onos and this place is no different. Picked up an online order at 7:30 and had no issues. They pack tons of sauce for you for pickup which is also nice. I tried out the bbq beef musubi for the first time and would say it's worth a try, personally feel like it's better than the spam musubi. For the mains I got the melemele curry chicken and it tasted like it had some Indian spices. Overall pretty good but don't know if I'd go to onos for that. The second main I had was the kalbi short ribs and they were fire as always. Overall a pretty good experience!

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix, Spam Musubi (2 pcs)

    Ono is one of my favorite go-to meals when I want some etching satisfying and most importantly, to get me full! I've never dined at the Rosemead location yet but thanks to the Yelp Elite event I was glad it introduced me to this branch. Ashley was so helpful and such a sweetheart when coming to take my order. Although I've had Ono before, I felt like trying something new and letting Ashely choose for me. She was able to answer all my questions, give me suggestions, and allowed me to alter some of the order to encompass everything I wanted. Thank you! I was lucky to get in right before the dinner rush to order but never felt rushed. The service was quick, my order being ready in about 5 minutes. The food was hot and fresh and smelled amazing. I always love their BBQ Chicken and Beef. Tender chicken made with thigh so you know it's gonna be good. Galbi sometimes is hit or miss but I just wanted to try it, bit oily in general. Veggies under are always just good to cut through the meat but THE MAC SALAD. I usually order extra but it's always a staple when it comes to Ono orders. My partner said the katsu was really crispy and had a good amount of meat. Biggest advice is to NOT LEAVE WITHOUT SAUCE. If anything ask for extra if you like sipping like me. Shoutout to Ashely to remind me before I left. Spam Musubi is ok, I wish it had more sauce or egg but tbh it's what you get and is still a good side. Otherwise, I will always order from this location now because everything was super solid. Tysm Ono Rosemead! tip: parking is kinda hard so be patient

    This location is usually good I prefer this location and come here often because I know the food is excellent but sad to say not today. I got a to go order of the BBQ chicken and it was burned and tasted charred I don't want it to seem like I'm attacking them but this is the second time and I want them to take notice that this happened with the same cook. But overall I hope they do something so it doesn't happen again because I was so expected to eat and instead had to throw it away.

    Uncooked chicken.  In case my kids or I get sick for eating uncooked chicken I'm documenting this...

    In case my kids or I get some type of sickness I'm documenting this.... See uncooked chicken we all already ate.

    Background On Review: Over many long moons, I decided it was finally time to write a review. Credit Cards: They're accepted Restroom: They do have restrooms, but they're not accessible during this time due to the coronavirus. Location/Parking: Located between Subway and Panda Express. Parking can be a bit stressful depending on the time of day you go. Due to the stay at home order, parking can be had with less stress. Ambiance/Decor: Nice ambiance with modern furnishings. There is a 10 person limit at the shop now. Also, there is plexi glass that protects the staffer behind the register Service: Staffers are nice, friendly, and attentive. Food comes out at a decent time also. Just make a mental note that it's only delivery or take out only. Food: The usual suspects are the lemon pepper chicken, chicken katsu, chicken breast, bbq chicken, and the spam masubi. The mac salad is out of this world amazing. Depending how much of a fatty I want to be, I either double or triple up on the mac salad and forgo the the usual sides of rice and vegetables that is included with their meals.

    Salad - dressing =veggie. Pay for salad get veggie.

    We come here for the low price wonton noodles, steamed spareribs on steamed rice, and the beef rice…read morenoodle rolls. We also order their HK style lemon iced tea. It's pretty good here and they have complimentary refills! They're known for their rice noodle rolls here and you can order them, along with their small dim sum menu, all day long. The wonton noodles here were just $13.98! They come with 5 large wontons and vegetables over wonton noodles. I always recommend adding chili oil. The steamed spareribs on steamed rice have some bones, just like the ones you find at dim sum. But there's a lot of meat in the steamed rice bowl for a single person. Free parking in rear parking lot. Entrance at the front on Garvey Ave. They have 2 entrances in front now. Left door for to-go orders and right door for dine-in.

    Came here for dim sum with some family and overall it was a pretty average experience…read more The food came out fairly quickly and most of the standard dishes were decent: har gow, siu mai, and the rice rolls were all okay, nothing that really stood out but not bad either. A few items were better than others, but overall it felt inconsistent. Service was fine but a bit rushed, and it was pretty busy so it was hard to get attention when needed. The space is also a little tight, so it can feel crowded during peak hours. Not a bad spot if you're in the area and craving dim sum, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. It's more of a convenient, decent option rather than a place I'd strongly recommend. There are plenty of spots around, but the flavors are okay for the food.
