    BBQ & shrimp Katsu
    Vee P.

    Came here on rainy day to pick up at lunch time and the service was friendly and relatively quick even though there were 4 people waiting ahead of me. We got two, two-item aloha plates, both with bbq chicken and one with katsu shrimp and one with chicken katsu. They both came with a fresh salad and had minimal dressing which I really enjoyed. This is my first time at this location and the meats were consistent with the other locations. The shrimp is an extra .50 charge and it only came with three but it was worth it. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. The inside was clean and had ample tables. Parking is shared in a large lot next to the gym, located across from Zankou.

    Hawaiian BBQ Beef

    Update: I found this DISGUSTING piece of mangled plastic inside my beef musubi. It's a huge piece of plastic and I had to pull it out of my mouth this is so unsanitary and it's a huge choking hazard. I don't know where it's been, it looks like a piece of someone's used dirty glove. So gross

    Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parking is easy. Employee are patient and helpful. My go to is bbq beef plate but over the years I think the meat quality is hit and miss. Bbq rib is another solid choice. This time I grabbed mini bbq chicken. It was pretty good. Chicken was very tender and not over cook. I really like their macaroni salad. I would repeat.

    Looking for a Gym, healthy food options for the GAINS! Look no further than this plaza! Across from the LA Fitness and across from a Costco gas station , this spot is a great location for macro gains and stable chicken with rice. This location has plenty of seating with a welcoming entrance. The staff are nice and friendly. The decorations are whimsical, with an organized seating. The bathrooms are on the side and it serves lots of To-Go Orders. The service is quick and waited less than 10min for both plates. Not a good spot to people watch since they are trying to get it to go. The sprite was spritzing and food was consistent. Enjoyed my meal and ate leftovers today. 7/10, the downside is that they charge for plastic bags but I rather pay for plastic than a paper bag. Check this spot out for good options!

    Lava Shrimp  - my 2nd time ordering this
    Pam B.

    I should've written this review a few weeks back. Anyway this is close to my workplace so this is our usual go to for lunch. We also get coupons and we have an online account with promotions as well. Here's a good deal but can only be used up to this week - they launched their lava shrimp a couple of weeks ago and there's a promotion on Fridays for seafood where you get a plate for only $8. Note that this is not the one with macaroni. Love their macaroni salad but I tried lava shrimp 2x (both on Fridays to get the deal) and it was pretty good. Reminds me of boiling crab seasoning - not exactly but close. Might be more spicy for some but it's ok with me. If you don't like shrimp - their chicken bbq plate is good as well. That's really my default order. I used to get the mahi mahi but that's not available anymore. I usually have food to go but recently I've been ordering online and eating in so I have uninterrupted lunch break. Also online orders have more promotions. Place is sometimes full at lunch but you'll always find a seat. If you work nearby definitely order here and if you like that Hawaiian macaroni salad - it's pretty good. Sometimes I just order that.

    Receipt for Hawaiian BBQ Mix and soda

    2025/03/17 Update: I tried their limited time special, the Lava Shrimp plate, I ordered it without salad and extra rice. As implied by it's name, it's hot, but the heat was not immediate, it took a while for the heat to hit me, at first it was hot enough to give it flavor but after a while, my mouth heated up! It comes with about 12 shrimps. It was good. I'm glad I ordered a large soda tho

    Stopped in for lunch and we received excellent service, the dining area was great and everything was clean. The food was delicious! All the staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend Ono Hawaiian BBQ.

    Spam Musubi (2 pcs) 2 Orders IG: @ammysalamii
    Angela G.

    I honestly only really come here for the spam musubi since it comes in 2 pieces while other places don't make it as good or they charge per piece. My family loves their Hawaiian bbq plates! The Katsu is delicious and love their Mac salad. They also have other musubi like chicken and beef rather than the standard spam which is neat. Parking can be a bit of a pain but it's a big lot with other food and shops around. Definitely worth coming here over other Hawaiian bbq places! Lots of seating inside and outside and they have an easy order process. Wish they had more in the area. IG: @ammysalamii

    All sauces except the Katsu !!
    Ron W.

    I wish I could go into the negative on stars because my experience today was unacceptable! I usually go in person to this location but for the first time ever I didnt feeling like driving and took advantage of the lower fees with Grub Hub + thru Amazon Prime. Big mistake - first of all , Ono is one of the few places with no drop down menus to add or modify orders. I wanted to make sure all of their sauces were in the bag so I called the restaurant. Whoever answered the phone said all of the sauces would be in the bag. Well of course my order arrived in record time and was missing my favorite sauce , the Katsu sauce. I called the restaurant a 2nd time and explained what happened. After 14 minutes on hold, the manager came back only with an offer of a side macaroni salad for the trouble - I told him this was unacceptable. I wont be back to this location !

    Spam musubi
    Alex J.

    I'm not sure where all the bad service reviews are coming from because I had great service from 3 staff who helped me from the cashier to a cook checking on my order and another girl handing off my order. I wasn't too hungry so I just went with their musubi, I was able to get the set with one chicken and one spam for about $6. Overall, the biggest issue is the amount of rice to meat ratio. You could barely see the protein in either musubi. Now I know this isn't a "burrito" where it's going to be stuffed with meat and filling, and I LOVE musubis, but it was pretty sad just how bad the ratio was. The rice was also a bit hard. But I did enjoy it being made fresh as you can't always find "freshly made" musubi in LA. Both meats also had good sauce and flavor. The spam is pre-made so nothing to cook there, but the chicken was just rubbery and had a weird texture to it. Too many misses for me to leave even an average review here.

    The Bottom Line 5 stars: Highly recommended Hawaiian inspired restaurant and bar…read more Location 4 stars: In Sherman Oaks, CA, on north side of Ventura Blvd, between Woodman and Fulton. Limited metered street parking and paid valet parking. Venue 4 stars: Cute little venue with a few tables on the patio and high tables and booths inside, along with a smaller bar area, with a continuous piping of Reggae and hip tropical vibes. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation!!! Reservations on Resy are highly recommended but be aware that they collect a credit card deposit ($25 per person at the time of this review) that will be forfeited if you cancel late or are a no show. Service 5 stars: A small team of friendly staff that are attentive and efficient. Food 5 stars: Delicious Modern American food with Hawaiian influences. My favorites are Spam or Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice, the Seafood Ricotta Dumplings, the Loco Moco, the short ribs, the pan fried snapper and the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi. Their desserts are also delicious and worth a try. I recommend the Yuzu Blueberry Cheesecake. Drinks 5 stars: They used to have only Low-ABV cocktails and beer, sake and wine, but now they have a full bar. I recently had the 1944 Mai Tai which is based on the original Mai Tai recipe and it was delicious and strong!!! They of course have soft drinks, tea and coffee as well.

    I booked the reservation through Resy, I was looking for something new and something with seafood…read more The mix of Pacific island food was amazing. The touches of Hawaiian tastes were very much on point to me. I will say that the previous photos from others on Yelp of the Spam Crispy Rice truly got me to place a must order of them, they did not disappoint. I paired my horseradish crusted mahi mahi with the island manhattan and the flavors truly accented each other well. The option of having indoor or an outdoor seating is nice for those who like that feeling along with either a high top or lower level seating. Overall interior setting was very comfortable and relaxing. The staff was very nice, non pressuring, did not push, and did not hover. When I mentioned about the food pairing they were happy to take my suggestion.
