    I ordered my son chicken katsu and the chicken was still pink. Went to the worker to ask if they can cook it more, he told me that the chicken will be pink but it's cooked. Umm, no it was raw! I told him I'm from Hawaii and we order chicken katsu all the time, he then proceeded to tell me that this is not an authentic Hawaiian restaurant, I get it, but to serve my son raw chicken is uncalled for. They took the plate back and he said he will ask the cooks to make a new one. I got my son's food back and it was literally still raw. They basically just reheated it in the microwave or something. We just threw it away, not worth going back and forth with it. Never again eating here.

    Great Food and it's a hit or miss on the cashier. Some could use a little more training but there's a youthful vibrant dirty-blonde haired kid that ALWAYS makes coming here worth the drive. I found out his name was Jessie tonight after visiting again... His customer service skills are beyond amazing! Wish more places had a Jessie in them! I live in the Merced area and I drive out here for the great food AND continue returning because of the great service Jessie gives. I usually order the family meal. The great thing is you can pick and choose from their extensive menu. I normally order the steamed veggies, White rice, crispy sliced chicken (Chicken Katsu), BBQ teriyaki chicken (no sauce). And then buy a coconut drink. Literally you sip from a nice long straw straight out of the actual coconut they offer. You take the coconut home to eat when your done. Yum I absolutely recommend this place, especially when the service from the kid is so great.

    BBQ plate with no rice and extra veggies (cabbage).

    Not a fancy restaurant but good for a fast meal! Ordered online and food ready at time promised. Food tasted fresh and order was correct even with our special requests. Employees pleasant. If you eat at the restaurant the atmosphere is not like transitional restaurants. Just tables in a big room. Also you order at the counter and pick up. Veggies consist of cabbage only. I like it but know that you will not be given carrots, etc. Also parking is terrible!! But they give you a lot of food so you may want to walk off the extra calories.

    Ordered a mini chicken bbq plate Got two small pieces of chicken Not a full scoop of rice and not a full scoop of Mac Not coming back to this location

    Ordered on Uber eats. The driver that does not speak or read English is expected to fill the drink cups when they pick up the order from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Unacceptable!! He brought 3 large drinks filled with water, something dirty water looking and something orange. This was after hi to g around the building for where he dropped off my order. He didn't even follow the delivery instructions and you expect him to complete the food order! Absolutely unacceptable. Horrible customer service.

    Food was fantastic. Staff was great and had no problem not adding cabbage and adding extra Mac. Food was really good. They allow dining inside now. Will be returning again

    Wow, I was so impressed with the uniqueness of this place! I've been to conveyor belt sushi places…read morebefore but this is the first time I have seen individual hot pots with accompaniments coming to you on a conveyor belt! What a great concept!! Everyone is seated with their own individual hot pot plate to build their own individual hot pot. (Don't worry it does not burn). You choose your basic soup broth, choose the meat you would like, and then start grabbing things off the conveyor belts! It not only is a fun concept, you can get quite creative with how you build your hot pot and choose just the things to your liking. I was amazed that they had very authentic Chinese ingredients to choose from - wood ear, enoki mushrooms, bok choy, different kinds of noodles, fish balls, Napa cabbage, octopus, and lots of different varieties of selfish, plus much much more! I chose the traditional broth and they even had Chinese red dates in it plus wolfberries (sometimes known as Goji berries) in the broth just like what I grew up with The service was just ok, since it was our first time there we had to ask a lady to show us what we were supposed to do. She was helpful, but the servers don't come around very often. That said, the plates and dishes clutter up really fast and they don't come around very often to clear the dishes, for which I would have taken a star off. But my experience there with conveyor belt hot pot was so nice that I'm leaving it at five stars. What I liked best besides the authentic ingredients, is that you can become quite creative to build your own hot pot to your own liking.

Love having my own individual pot and personalizing my broth and spice level. The meat is fresh (1 meat at a time), and the DIY sauce station. Price is reasonable too when you go at lunchtime. Waitress is super nice too.

The interior has a nice, relaxed vibe with comfortable seating and a clean, inviting atmosphere. We started with the calamari and edamame. The calamari was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The edamame was lightly salted and had a wonderful flavor that made it easy to snack on while we waited for our main courses. I had the Korean stone bowl and was very impressed. The beef was tender, flavorful, and slightly sweet, and everything was served piping hot in a beautifully presented bowl. My husband had the salmon bowl and thought it was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of flavors. Another friend tried the coconut shrimp curry and said it was delicious, with a rich and slightly sweet coconut sauce that paired well with the shrimp. Overall, we were very happy with the food and the experience. The restaurant felt clean and well-maintained, and the staff made sure our meal went smoothly. I would definitely come back if I am in the area.
