The food is great. I would say at or above par for a Hawaiian restaurant. No surprise since this is basically a chain without a lot of variance from location to location. Options for every eater and they're all pretty good. The price was not alarming and seems fitting for the amount of food you get. The restaurant has been clean and tidy each time I've been here, and you can get your own sauce which is nice (people charge for that?). My main complaint is the parking lot... which sucks cuz it's not the business's fault, it's just a horrible place to get in and out of and is usually the last place I want to be on my lunch break. That said, I would eat here again. read more

The food was really good. However it took forever to get our food. Employee's were very fastidious about handwashing and wearing gloves. How ever they were unaware of customers coming in to order and their awareness of food that was ready. I watched 2 young ladies walk past my order multiple times before taking it and placing it on the tray. The restaurant was decently clean and had a nice outside area. It would be nice to place some kind of barrier,(like a hedge or something) to avoid the people driving into the neighboring coffee shop from awkward interactions. I would give the food 4 stars, however the customer service wasn't great which is why I'm giving this restaurant an overall 3 stars. read more

Friendly quick service, good tasting when other option is closed. Available seating that is kept so clean! read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Beef - Hawaiian Near Me - Visalia, California

Try the Aloha plate special! 4 big pieces of fish with rice and salad. $8 what? Delish with the special dressings. Love me some Ono!

We were impressed! Clean place, nice music, friendly service (thank you Deo) and our meal was awesome. We shared the Kalbi ribs with Mac salad and rice, my husband got the spam musubi. It was all delicious and cured my craving for Kalbi Ribs! We will be back for sure! They should put Moco Loco on the menu...maybe later. read more

Ono is usually a solid choose from Hawaiian grindz. This location is always clean when I stop by. Quick service. I prefer their Mac salad to L&L. Went with the chicken and beef combo. read more

The restaurant itself is cold and unfinished, the style is in I get but to have grafiti of measurements looks super tacky, the food was pricey especially for a combo that does not even come with a drink. What makes a combo a combo anymore? The macaroni was absolutely delicious and the flavor of the chicken was great but the amount of tendons I pulled out of my mouth was just entirely unappealing. If I try this again I will be sticking to only the shrimp which is great. read more

Don't walk, RUN! I don't know if I was just starving or this place really HITS. The food was delicious ! We got the Hawaiian BBQ Mix and boy was it a treat! It comes with the Kalbi Short Ribs, Teriyaki Chicken, and Hawaiian BBQ Beef? (Not sure, sorry! The menu didn't specify) but I'm guessing those 3! Also came with rice, Mac salad, and lots of cabbage which I'm not a fan of but it went well with the meal. Service was friendly and ambiance is relaxed. Would definitely definitely come here again, next time for their seafood :) come thru!! read more

The food was decent. Nice ambience. Friendly staff. Traditional Hawaiian options. I've been to many Hawaiian places and this one is very similar to L&L. Though, they don't really offer good teriyaki sauce and their hot sauce is some knock off Asian version. Not Sriracha. Also didn't have pepper which was odd. I would give five stars if they picked up their game in those aspects. read more

I stopped at this restaurant for the 1st time on my way to Yosemite. I ordered Hawaiian BBQ Beef plate. It gave me a bit food poisoning later that night. read more

This review is More for my wife, although I did order the pick two; not a fan. I tried! I tried to venture out of my comfort zone with this and it didn't end well for me! The meat was too tough, the chicken had nice flavor, spicy and a hint of sweet, but.. too fatty! My wife loved her chicken katsu! She said the breading was good, the chicken was good and the sauce she got with it was a win! She tried my plate and said exactly what I did. Pro Tip: get as much sauce as you want at the sauce bar! It's free and you can load up on teriyaki, katsu sauce and I believe they had one more sauce, but we chose the latter. Overall, service was good, except "at the time I went" the music was loud inside and they had a hard time hearing me with a face mask on. But overall they were helpful, sweet and friendly. My wife would probably go back for the Katsu but that's about it. read more

Amazing food and deals service is great fast and efficient everything is cooked fresh before you worth waiting for it's my new favorite spot for sure read more

I have tried many Hawaiian BBQ eateries throughout my travels and even in Honolulu. Seldom , I get a Short Rib that is tender and the plastic knife doesn't break when I slice it . Today, I decided to order the Short Ribs and not expecting anything special. To my surprise, it was very tender and I can easily slice it without breaking the knife. As It was lightly marinaded , I was able to enjoy the taste of the Ribs . The Galbi Short Ribs is a winner . I look forward to ordering it again ** 3 January 2023 ** read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a pretty good Hawaiian BBQ place. The service is nothing out of the ordinary. I recommend the macaroni salad, the katsu, and the spam with eggs and rice. read more

Not a local in this town was looking for a Hawaiian found this location near me . The quality of the food was great the meat was cooked well some places tend to over undercook . The service was also great help and ask for any extra we needed to enjoy our food . Very quite place to enjoy your food the environment was well kept and donning room was clean as well for the about of people there . If craving Hawaiian bbq this location is great to stop by for lunch read more

The Island Fire Chicken has this pretty red shade that seems to communicate, "Hey, just lettin' you know, I have a little kick." LOL. :-D And let me just agree with them, yes, there's definitely a nice tasty little kick there. :-D It comes with the right amount of rice and macaroni salad which tasted as expected--creamy and appetizing. There's cabbage underneath the chicken which is something typical that is included in Hawaiian entrees from other quick-service restaurants, but what I liked about this one was that the cabbage was boiled. I can't remember if I've ever had it that way before (it's mostly just raw & treated like an undressed salad) but boiling it just made it much easier to eat and I love vegetables and felt like I really needed the greens along with the rest of the meal. I enjoyed this entree & recommend it--just remember it is spicy. The Youngest was in a mood for a Loco Moco and was disappointed they don't have it on their menu. Just felt I had to include that. They. Don't. Have. Loco Moco. :-( LOL! :-) read more

My son went in to order a katsu chicken dinner when he brought it to me for dinner. I opened the box and I saw nothing but lettuce , a few pieces of chicken and some Mac ! I didn't order a lettuce dinner .. disgusting place never again ! Stay away from this horrible place read more

We seriously love this place and come here all the time! It's a really great plate lunch. The restaurant is always incredibly clean. We've always had a good experience with the people working out the counter there. On one occasion, our food was a bit cold, and they brought us a whole new plate that was piping hot. Truly great service. Our favorite things to get there are the Katsu chicken and Hawaiian barbecue chicken read more

Been here many times! I live for their crab Rangoons. Food is always delicious and the customer service is great. The employees are always so friendly and helpful & make us feel so comfortable in the restaurant. The place can sometimes get busy but that just goes to show how bomb their food is!!!! Even when busy it's still such a nice place to eat. Calm & drama free & the music is so cute:) I love it here & I'll always be coming back ;) read more

Went by today for the first time. Yelp sent me a Party Like an Elite bonus here. I put on my calendar but couldn't remember why but when I said that, the girl asked if it was for a Yelp. I said an emphatic YES!! Never would've remembered. Anyway she said I got a free entree, side, and drink. I chose the Hawaiian bbq chicken, crunchy shrimp and Hawaiian Sun. There was so much food I fed myself, son, husband, and daughter. The rice was perfectly cooked as was the chicken. The shrimp was excellent and the service was top notch!! Also, almost forgot, received a cool swag bag ... thanks YELP!! Pre-Covid probably would've been a T-shirt but now it's a mask lol. read more

Delicious meals, fast service across from College of the Sequoia's, clean environment

Great food. Good prices. HUGE portions. Love the fire chicken best of all. You'll have enough for a leftover plate read more

Clean, good value for the money, helpful, though the food coming out wasn't fast. The fire chicken was delicious.

I'm sorry I couldn't take a picture of our food, we basically devoured it the moment it hit our table. It was absolutely DELICIOUS First time here and the service was impeccable. Sweet and attentive, they greeted us upon entry and made us feel welcomed. As for the food, it was perfect. Well seasoned beef with a hint of sweetness, the rice was great and the macaroni that came with was the best part. It's so much food for the price and well worth it. The wait is minimal, maybe 15 minutes tops, but it really didn't matter when the food was Excellent. This may have been my first time here, but it's definitely not my last. LOVE IT! read more

One suggestion.... less cabbage... more meat, the cabbage is a waste. Food is good though just didn't get enough for the money spent.

Love me some Hawaiian food so had to check this place out . My bf said this was one of his fave hawaiian spot and it did not disappoint . I got the beef and chicken combo and it had good flavoring and definitely a big enough portion , enough to eat again later if you want . read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - RAW Chicken Katsu - Hawaiian Near Me - Visalia, California

Ordered the Kalua Pork Plate, Island Fired Chicken Plate and the spam masubi. Pork and masubi were good. Pork wasn't soggy like some other Hawaiian bbq restaurants serve. Mac salad wasn't anything to brag about. Kinda bland. Unfortunately the Island Fired Chicken was burnt and looked horrible. We ordered to go so we should have inspected it first. I would've returned it. read more

Customer Service was good. We were greeted right away. However, the food was just ok for me. I ordered the fire chicken and didn't love the sauce. The mac salad (which is my fave) was also lacking. The building is nice and new and everything was clean. read more

I ordered the BBQ and Katsu Mix because I was craving katsu. I was disappointed at the thickness of the chicken which was thinly sliced. Some pieces were thicker. I would not order katsu here again because it seems they purposely give you thick and thin pieces of chicken. The two pieces of BBQ Chicken was thicker. Food was delicious. Service was good, but there is a wait while they cook your order. I ordered online and I still had to wait about 10 minutes. read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Where's the chicken? - Hawaiian Near Me - Visalia, California

Save yourself the "new opening" crap show and order online and just pick up. The parking is atrocious, the crowd inside the store is even worse. On to the food...it's good. The meal boxes are reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. I ordered the bbq mix platter and I was full. My two kids, aged 7 and 9 shared the Chicken Katsu plate and there was still some left over. I'll be back, but only after the new crowd settles down or I'll just keep ordering online and picking up. read more

A great place to eat. I got the island fire chicken and it has a kick but not to overpowering. Would highly recommend. Only reason it get 4 stars is it pretty pricey. Other than that its great read more

Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Fire island chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Visalia, California

imho Aloha Express is far superior in food quality, taste, and options than Ono. While Ono may have a more expansive menu, by far Aloha Express has better tasting food and more fun drink options to pair with your meal. We popped into Ono HBbq to see what the hype is. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean in appearance. Overall very nice introduction to Ono. We ordered a white fish plate, kids meal, and a bunch of sides. The white fish was juicy and delicious. It was hot and fresh, full of flavor and tasted great. The one gripe i have about the plate is that it's battered and fried. There was no mention of this on the menu. I ordered white fish because i thought i'd get a pan seared or sautéed fish fillet but it does come battered. Our full mix salad did not come with salad dressing so we had to return to the restaurant, which was an unexpected delay and annoying. the kids meal was cute, came in a lil keiki box but was served with steamed rice when we ordered mac salad. by then we were over Ono... Also, no napkins in the bag. read more

Really good bbq mix plate lunch. Enjoy it every time. Service is always great and they are pretty quick with takeout orders.

Katsu chicken was dry and over cooked tasted like a pre made patty frozen too long and then cooked Bbq chicken was overly salty and again over cooked causing it to be chewy The other guys in town ( Aloha Express) is definitely better Won't waste money here again This is more like Oh-NO Hawaiian bbq than any remotely close to delicious like it should be read more

So today I came for a Yelp elite grand opening event. First off, before I mentioned what I was there for, the customer service was already amazing in an extremely packed place. Our food was brought out almost immediately, I ordered a bbq katsu plate. It SLAYED in every category. Delicious, fresh, juicy, tender. I'm not sure what the breaded chicken was, but it tasted so delicious like a freak made piece of fried chicken. Somehow better though, not to mention the macaroni. The macaroni ball and the rice ball they offer is phenomenal and gives you the vibe that you're on the beach, sipping a mimosa in the tropics . Bbq chicken? Bbq beef? Insane. Honestly, it was so god damn good and packed full of flavor my wife and I both complimented each bite. The pricing I will admit is a bit up there, nearly 20$ per plate. Listen, if you are ready to treat yourself to an incredible Hawaiian themed meal that you alone absolutely can't finish, then go here. Give them the 20$ bill in exchange for absolute euphoria of the taste buds. Take yourself to an unbelievable Fiji paradise, with each bite. This food is grade A, what blows my mind is they have a drive thru. How is it possible to serve such perfection so quickly? I am extremely excited to return. Thank you for such a good experience ono. read more

A bit disappointed! I've been eating at Ono's for years. They have restaurants all over the L.A. area. So glad to see them in Visalia!!! I ordered my usual BBQ mix. The food was great!! But the small portions was a bit disappointing. Welcome to Visalia! read more

If you love medium rare chicken this is the place to go! They will happily serve you uncooked chicken and smile and laugh about it and say it's the marinade that makes it pink while complaining about there job the whole time youre sitting down eating. Worst establishment in town. Chef can't cook, and workers don't care about serving raw chicken to a 7year old. read more
