I've been here three times now--once inside and twice through the drive-thru. The first two visits were good overall, although the drive-thru was slow both times. Today was a different story. We went through the drive-thru at 4:50 in the afternoon, which so it was a a slow time of day. There was only one car ahead of us, and I'm guessing the inside of the restaurant was probably slow too. The bigger issue was that my order was still wrong, even after it was repeated back to me correctly twice. I specifically asked for one scoop of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, and one scoop of vegetables. Instead, I got two scoops of macaroni salad and one scoop of rice, so I didn't get the vegetables I ordered. (Yes, there are always a few vegetables underneath the chicken, but that is not the same thing, and I even clarified that when ordering.) To make matters worse, our drive home is only about five minutes, and when we got home all of the food was room temperature except for the musubi, which was hot. Really disappointing experience this time. read more

Was craving some chicken and rice so I decided to stop in. I was reluctant because of the star rating but I was super hungry. Upon entering, very clean, friendly and plenty of options. My plate was 12.99 and I definitely could have shared. The chicken, rice, veggies were perfectly cooked. Will be back!!!!! Service was also amazing. read more

My hubby and I stopped by since unfortunately Sacramento Scream Park had only popcorn and shaved ice and we were hangry lol!! We ordered the Lilikoi Lychee Hawaiian Sun, Hawaiian BBQ Mix and Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Mini Meal. The best chicken, I was indecisive, and the staff helped me pick this one!

Pleasantly surprised at the fresh fish plate combination. Crisp, moist, and tasty. Generous fresh vegetables, macaroni salad, grilled chicken, and fried shrimp. Enough for two! I wished they had Loco Mocoo. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Fish & Chicken Combination Plate. Hot, moist and crispy! - Hawaiian Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ono Hawaiian BBQ on Auburn Blvd is sooo underrated! We don't eat fast food often, but this is one of the few spots that always makes the rotation. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and such a good value for what you get. I love that the meat is cooked fresh every time and they let you choose veggies or salad as sides. My usual order is the plate lunch with veggies, rice, and mac salad which is honestly enough for two people or two meals. Tons of options too. My go tos are the BBQ chicken or the Island Fire chicken. Just a heads up: the Island Fire chicken takes a little longer to cook, so they'll sometimes have you park. Totally worth it. I also really enjoy the Aloha Plate, which comes with one or two meats, rice, and salad. Their orange salad dressing is so good, definitely ask for an extra. Employees are always quick and efficient, no issues ever. The parking lot isn't great and the surrounding area can feel a little busy, but once you figure out the right turn in, it's fine. I also love that this location has a drive thru and stays open late. Just be aware of your surroundings because there's usually a lot going on in this area. I can't speak for the inside as I've only done the drive thru option. Overall, solid food, great prices, and super reliable. Highly recommend! read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Aloha Plate Pick Two with Island Fire Chicken and BBQ Chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Sacramento, California

The food is great, but what upset me, is, ordered kids meal as well, and it comes with applesauce. My kid doesn't eat applesauce, but he will eat veggies so I asked if they can substitute applesauce for veggies. They literally had to call a manager to ask if they can accommodate, and she said NO! So that means we won't be coming back, what type of establishment doesn't want kids to eat more vegetables? read more

Will definitely come back for a sit down meal next time. read more

The service was amazing ! I've eaten here a few times and the chicken katsu never looked like this . The breading was greasy and chicken gamey. I would not recommend eating here . I had them make it twice and I almost threw up because of how slimey the chicken was. Please don't eat here if you care for your health. I also don't think the chicken was all the way cooked. I flipped all the pieces to the side for a better view . This was $14. They should close this location and pay for the workers comp. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - The piece to the left is how thick the breading is - Hawaiian Near Me - Sacramento, California

Although I grew up in Honolulu, I haven't had Hawaiian food for years. The food became too salty to me. I tried the white fish at Ono Hawaiian and I was surprised. Not salty, panko type of breading, and the fish was delicious. I don't know how many Ono Hawaiian customers order the white fish. I plan on only ordering the white fish in the future. Try the white fish, you won't regret it. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Seafood Mix - Hawaiian Near Me - Sacramento, California

We pulled into the parking lot fully planning on grabbing Chipotle for dinner. I didn't realize this restaurant was here and the Damian's I decided to grab this instead. While I'm so glad we did, this is not as good as Big Island BBQ in Folsom. Customer service was lacking. Not only for me but they easy I saw them speak to other customers was not very impressive. As a family we ordered multiple combo plates that included the beef, grilled chicken, and katsu chicken. You can't get Hawaiian bbq without musubis so you know we grabbed a few orders. Katsu was crispy, beef was sweet and flavorful. Good amount of cabbage which I personally LOVE. The Mac salad was okay initially but did grow on me as I finished my dinner. Grilled chicken was a little disappointing, I think it's flattop grilled not bbq grilled. Musubi were "mid" per my two teenagers. I'd go back but it's not my fav for Hawaiian food. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Hawaiian Near Me - Sacramento, California

Aloha, if you're an island food lover like me...please give this place a chance! Honestly, I hadn't been here due to the poor reviews but I decided to check it out today and I was super satisfied! The BBQ and Katsu chicken combo plate was ono-licious!!! Portions are really generous for the price. The Mac salad is delish and I love how they include some veggies with the plate meals (broccoli and cabbage). If you stay to dine in, you'll love the island vibes with cool Polynesian decor and music. I promise, you'll be sending me a million "mahalos" once you try this place! read more

We love Hawaiian bbq! Tried the seafood lunch plate- came w rice, mac salad, bbq chk, fried fish, fried shrimp for $14.99. Everything was very tasty with good portions! Photo shows broccoli and cabbage which would have been nice, we only got cabbage + 1 piece of broccoli. I do like the cabbage though. Katsu + teriyaki sauce are separate and u can go get it yourself Customer service was nice. Food didn't take that long, maybe a 10-15min wait. Store was clean, including the restroom (needs a code). Apparently there's a drive through? Didn't try it. My only gripe was with the parking- few spaces shared w Chipotle. The neighboring lot had spaces but signs stating private property, only for the businesses there. read more

Usually me and my husband love coming here but today the girl working the window at 9:30pm was so short and rude like she was so upset we were ordering food and when I tried asking for so extra sauce she ignored me and closed the window and walk away until I had the honk my horn to get her attention and then kept trying to just argue with me about it instead of just giving me the extra sauces. Was already having a long day and just wanted to get my favorite food from my favorite place and she really just ruined me trying to cheer myself up. read more

This wasn't a bad experience but it wasn't a good one either. I ordered two chicken katsu meals, an order of spam masubi and an extra order of Mac salad. I probably waited 20 minutes for my order. The staff member who took my order kept apologizing (maybe the they were short staffed in the kitchen?) which was nice but still it took quite a bit of time. We took it togo and when I opened the box I felt like the portions were small. I've had other Hawaiian food and they're portions were HUGE. I didn't know what to expect here but I didn't expect it to be so small. Even the scoops for the Mac and rice didn't even look full, kinda shocked since I waited a bit of time for my order! They do have a station where you can get your own katsu sauce and teriyaki sauce which is convenient. read more

Here is my two cents on the food, the taste and the delivery I ordered it through Uber Eats, and they were confident enough in a delivery and quality of their service I have never had Hawaiian BBQ before so I had nothing really to compared with ... I decided to order the family deal if I liked it I had it for a couple days if I hated it, I would just throw it away .. I got servings of white rice to go along with these items .. What is the think I was surprised was that they gave their version of macaroni salad.. They used elbow noodles, mayonnaise, and other things which made it more on the thick side, then thin side . It was fairly good though very much on the bland side. There was no sweetness to it nor was there any mustard, nor onions in it... I got teriyaki, chicken, barbecue chicken, barbecued beef.. The chicken was pretty much it appeared to be dark meat. It was cut very thin as you can see in the photograph... it appeared to not be chicken breast, because it was not very dry whatsoever thank goodness... Oh, the beef is pretty good too thoroughly cooked. I'm not tough whatsoever very good. .. So my friends if you're looking for something different, I suggest you give Hawaiian barbecue a try it's not too shabby .. read more

O NO for Ono!!!!!! The actual chicken in the katsu chicken was soooo thin resulting in it being too much breading and dry. The teriyaki chicken was a bit overcooked. And it took like 20 minutes waiting for the food. Overall not good at all and will not be returning. Try at your own risk. read more

First time here with a friend and never heard of this place, took away by chipotle plaza. I ordered the chicken Katsu mini meal and it was plenty of food, chicken nice and crispy two scoops of rice and some Mac a Roni salad which was really good too. A side of teriyaki sauce and good company what else can you ask for. My friend ordered the mix of pork beef and chicken combo meal. Was out pretty quick. Only thing is they're hours are till 10 PM we came in around 930 and they didn't look too happy to see us. We couldn't eat inside but there were chairs and tables outside so that was nice. Definitely a good quality Hawaiian food place for the price. Would come back. read more

I knew I should have traveled out to the l&l atleast the meat would have been better good Mac salad but that was kind of it read more

My 500th Yelp review! And what better way to say Aloha than to write this review for "Ono Hawaiian BBQ". I've noticed a lot more of these locations opening up as they are saturated in the Los Angeles metropolitan area as well as the San Francisco Bay Area. They also have several restaurants in the Central Valley part of California as well as the Phoenix, AZ area. Their main competition is "L&L Hawaiian BBQ" which I have eaten at several times. However, this is my first time ever dining at Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Located directly on the corner of Auburn Blvd/Madison Ave in the Foothill Farms part of Sacramento, this restaurant opened its doors on 2/1/2020. They are conveniently tucked in between an AT&T store and a Chipotle so parking may be a bit tricky especially if you arrive during peak hours. The inside of this place has a fresh, modern look with yellow chairs and a aquamarine colored menu board. They also conveniently have a drive-thru for those who don't wish to get out of their vehicles. As I am already familiar with Hawaiian food, I went all out and tried their "Hawaiian BBQ Entree" (for $11.79). This includes BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef, Kalbi Short Ribs, rice, and macaroni salad. My lady went with their "Teriyaki Chicken Entree" (for $9.59). Since we decided on dining in, we picked out two of their complimentary sauces, "Katsu" & "Teriyaki". Since this place is new and still working out their kinks, our food takes awhile to arrive. The customer itself was just average at best as my cashier looked a bit scatterbrain trying to figure out how much change to give me back for a $20. I mean, do people not use cash anymore? Also, you must ask for napkins as they are not available in the condiment area. Hopefully they will get better as time goes on but that's just me being critical of a new business. Once our entrees did arrive, everything was presented nicely in a large environmentally-friendly container. They were generous on the meat as this was more than enough food to fill me up. As far as the flavor, it was above average and seasoned well. Definitely fresh and good quality ingredients. All in all, "Ono Hawaiian BBQ" is good and their business shows no signs of slowing down. If I were to pick between them and "L&L Hawaiian BBQ", I would have to give the upper advantage to L&L since they have more reasonable prices for very similar flavors. This is definitely a nice welcome to this part of Sacramento. My rating for review #500 at "Ono Hawaiian BBQ", a respectable 4-stars. read more

"A"loha! Welcome to Hawaii. Minus the beach and water of course but the food here was A-maxing! My boyfriend suggested we try this new place. We ordered the combo and chicken plates. He loved the macaroni salad and everything else on that plate. Mine was equally fabulous but recovering from cold I have lost my usual big appetite for good. I brought the leftovers home, plenty for my lunch at work. The pineapple drink was awesome. You must try it. Wait before I forget, the hot mustard is one of the best I've taste. You must try! Tell me if I'm lying :D Now, service is 5 stars. Stephanie was super friendly. The place is chill and clean. They opened not too long ago. Go here tomorrow! Cos I said so :) I'll post my leftover tomorrow, haha, so good I forgot to take pics of the food. read more

I've been eating Ono's for years in Arizona. And this one was pretty much the same, there very consistent. The service was quick and our order was on point. I'm not sure how long this location has been open but it still looks fairly new inside. read more

So excited for a new lunch option in the area!! My coworkers and I were so hyped to hear that Ono's was opening, that we stopped in twice last week. Their phone is up and running so a quick 5 minute phone call and we were on our way. I had their bbq mix plate and it was pretty similar to L&L's. We did notice that the consistency was off. The first day, our short ribs were dinosaur huge and the second time they were fairly small. My coworker was also given one scoop of rice and one Mac salad, compared to my two scoops of rice and one Mac salad. The marinate on the meat was good, but I think it could've used more. Meat was still a little dry. They do have their sauces available near the soda fountain though so that's a huge plus!! I wasn't a huge fan of their Mac salad, just because I could taste the enormous amount of mayo mixed in. The photo on yelp make the restaurant look pretty spacious, but it's the opposite. I wouldn't recommend for big parties, just lunch dates of 2. lol, the workers were friendly and they had plenty of hands on deck. I will def be back during their grand opening to get my hands on some free coupons! read more

Visited for the 1st time and I'm glad I tried it. I got the Chicken Katsu w/beef bbq combo. It comes with rice & Mac salad. I also got a side of short ribs & cream cheese wontons. Everything was delicious!! I also like the hot teriyaki sauce that you can serve yourself. The mac salad was so i good I ordered a large (6 scoops) to take home to my family & also to eat later with my leftover because I couldn't finish it all. Great customer service & good value! Will definitely return. read more

I had won some swag from Instagram from Ono Hawaiian BBQ, a reusable bag, water bottle, mask, and a gift card. It had been a while since I have been to Ono or any Hawaiian place. I forgot how much I enjoyed it, and the Chicken Katsu is one of my favorites and the macaroni salad, of course. I ended up ordering the Family Meal figured I could have the extra later. I got BBQ Beef, Chicken Katsu, and Kalua Pork with steamed rice, and Macaroni salad. Of course, the macaroni salad did not last very long as it is popular. Everything was perfect. Thank you, Ono, for the gift card and swag. read more

I want to like this place so bad. Ordered here probably 10 times since they opened almost 2 years ago. Wait time: 10-60 minutes in the drive thru. Trapped! Food: sometimes you get a bed of lettuce, sometimes you don't. Sometimes the crab Rangoon is white inside and sometimes orange? Perks: sometimes they accidentally give you too much food. Todays visit included chewy(not crunchy) crab Rangoons with orange insides(that's new) and extra oil. Hard to want to give them another try. read more

Meat was tender, rice was ok little on the sticky side for me, Marconi salad was good - reminded me of home. I was thrilled to find 2 small sides of the sauces which was right on time because I love extra sauce and I didn't have to request it!

Just ordered through Uber Eats. Food was very good, large portions. From the time I ordered to the time the driver left the restaurant was an hour and 5 minutes.

Food usually good. Service at window ok. Customer service at counter was unbelievable. You messed up on my order. I ordered 6 plates for 98 dollars. Checked my bags immediately after driving out of the drive thru noticed 1 plate missing. Went in with receipt. I was told I had to bring in the bags of food. The worker proceeded to take out all my plates and then asked the cooks if they remembered making my missing plate. They next said they had to call a manager on the phone to get authorization. First try the manager didn't answer. No physical person was in the store to resolve. I suppose the manager authorized and they made the additional plate. This was ridiculous. I stated I would be reviewing my interaction. Upon leaving the worker told me I should be happy I got my plate. I told her not to get smart with me. Then she began to sarcastically tell me to enjoy my meal. And to have a good evening. I asked for the managers phone number and was told they were not allowed to give it out. What a horrible operation and customer service experience. I spent 98 dollars it would appear that I'm not trying to steal a meal. read more
