Give it a try. Not the best but is good place for lunch when you want some Korean BBQ. Huge portion I usually just get the mini plate.

This is my go to Korean BBQ spot friendly clean and above all great food try it you won't be disappointed.

Food was on point, had the meat jun and spicy pork.. Very tasty food and fast service! No complaints here! Will be back, probably the best meat jun I had in awhile.... read more

I love this place. I always get the Mandoo kook soo/spicy. The broth and garnish along with the noodles and dumplings are plentiful. Don't forget that hot & sweet Korean sauce that goes with it (I always ask for extra it's really good). To me they give a good portion for the price I can't finish it but it's all good cause it's just as good the next day. I've never had problems with parking, it gets packed but a little patience and you'll find a spot. read more

10/10 meal!!! My husband and I were a little hungry and don't know the area very well but were very drawn by the smell. It a cute and very clean ma and pop shop. The lady that helped us was very kind and answered all our questions very patiently. We got the Ono combo meal and I'll just say WOW! So yummy!! Please go try!!! read more

My FAVORITE spot to go when I am craving for Korean BBQ! They have korean veggie pancake as one of your choices. Their portions are perfect and their plates are CLEAN and doesnt look like leftover oil was topped on the bbq. Its like Yummy's BBQ without the extra shot of oil. read more

I ordered the Kalbi Plate thru door dash delivery . This is the best kalbi I have tasted and so tender . I did not want rice so you get a choice of 5 banchan . All were so good . This will be my new go to place for Korean food read more

Was recommended by Kevin T that this is his secret spot for yummy Korean food, boy was he wrong. The side vegetables tasted sour and old, BBQ chicken was dry and the meat jun was oily and mushy. Service was okay. read more

Friendly customer service,placing order was easy,brand new place also tasty no complaints...keep up ur GOOD WORK....my bad didn't know dis place was open 4 awhile but hey still AWESOME SAUCE read more

One of the better bbq chicken on this island. Perfectly cooked. The sides are pretty good too.

Stopped by here in a pinch from the airport. Really yummy!! Korean food served Hawaiian style! The bi bim bap was superb and Katsu maybe the best I've had. Try it!! read more

First time here. Ordered mini seafood combo. Came with 2 pieces of fish jun, 2 pieces of shrimp tempura, one scoop rice, one mandoo, and one slice of pancake. My two sides were chapchae and potato salad. Fish jun was soft with a mushy consistency. Would have liked the batter to be a bit more crisp. The shrimp tempura was crispy. The chapchae was simple to say the least with just julienned carrots sans the green onion, which would have made it taste better. The potato salad is unlike those of other Korean BBQ places, as it was just roasted, cubed potatoes in a sweet, tangy, and runny mayo or mayo like sauce. As my friend out it not just tastes like French fries. The mandoo was okay but I enjoyed the pancake most from the entire plate. Three stars for service and ambience as the cashier was friendly and the place is still new and clean with awesome colored chairs and table. read more

See all

Warning to all patrons that eat here, I work in the building at Dillingham and we share the bathrooms with this and other businesses and on several occasions I have run into yummy's staff in the bathrooms and they don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. Stop eating here, gross!!! read more

First visit here...and only because my family wanted Korean food and Arirang is closed on Sundays. The restaurant was relatively empty when I got there so I ordered quickly and stood to the side to wait to be called to choose my sides as is usual in other Korean eateries. As I patiently waited for the lady behind the glass to wave me over, people who had been sitting came up to choose their sides...then the person behind me who had just paid went to choose their sides...WTH?! Very disorganized, the lady doing the sides kept having to ask the cashier what was what...and I didn't choose my sides until 10 mins after I had paid! I chose sides for 2 of the 3 lunches ordered, wondering what happened to my last plate, and had to wait for 10 mins MORE before I found out the cashier failed to take my complete order (probably because she kept answering the phone). In all it took me almost 40 mins from the time I walked in to the time I left with my takeout...not sure about the food but the system needs a major overhaul! I should have gotten a sandwich next door at Machete's. Got home and the food looked OK, portions were good sized. The food was tasty enough, but certainly not the best Korean I've had...in fact it pales in comparison to Arirang, Soon's and Young's. Never coming back here again. read more

Always good. Food: Meat Juhn meaty, tender and delicious. Not paper thin like other places. My fave the Kalbi also delicious. Service: Friendly Price: Affordable, you still have your arm and leg after ordering the Kalbi. Will come back. read more

Thought I give it a second try, really disappointed again. Food is so dry, it was about $15 for the ono special. Never coming back smh I could barely finish it. read more

Ono Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It was tasty and fast. The kal bi was tender and flavorful. I did get that with meat jun which was delightful. The sides were fine, the cucumber kim chee nice and crisp and hot. Great for a bite between or after classes at HCC. I'll definately be back. read more

Waste of $26 for two combo plates. It was lunch time and I and a friend were in the area. He ordered Kalbi and I ordered Fish Jun and a BBQ Chicken Combo. I wish i had something positive to say. Not a thing. But here are the negatives. You'd think its lunch time and they would get you a freshly bbq piece of chicken. Not on my plate. The chicken was hard with a rubbery toughness. Maybe i got dealt with leftover from the day before and toss it in the microwave. The fish jun was like a thin pancake. Cant taste or feel the texture of the fish. Sides are just like what you get from the likes of Yummy and popular Korean BBQ fast-food joints.....its just that the sides here taste old. I didnt eat the four sides and the rice. I was too hungry i had to eat some protein and so it be --- eating leftover chicken and a crepe thin fish jun. My friend was the same -- ate one piece of Kalbi and the rest was thrown away. One star only because its required for the review otherwise it doesn't deserve half a star. Perhaps it would be devastating to even consider their catering service. Any hole-in-the-wall place is better than this place. read more

Another basic local Korean BBQ restaurant. Located in the Kapalama Shopping Center where Palama Super in Kalihi used to be, this place is a bit pricier than other Korean BBQ restaurants. I like the banchan though. This is the only joint I know of that offers sliced up hotdogs stir-fried in ketchup as a side, which, believe it or not, is super Korean. I usually just order the special or spicy BBQ chicken. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The interior is modern and clean. A nice dinner option if you happen to be in the area. read more

My spicy pork was salty. My 4 choices of vegs did not have flavor. Maybe my taste buds were off this evening...most of the other reviews seem to like this place. I don't think I'll be back. And I'm verifying the presence of bugs (gnats, and saw a roach crawling down the speaker). read more

The food is not that bad. Pretty decent prices compared to Yummys. It's pretty clean and it's also a tiny restaurant.

I used to love eating here.. I'm not sure this place changed ownership. But the food doesn't taste the same and portions are very small. Very pricey too. The Kalbi used to be delicious. Now it's very tough with marbled short ribs. Not soft at all. I had to just chew it and spit it out. Couldn't swallow the meat at all due to the toughness and so much muscle and marble .. awful! I will not be returning here. read more

Food is reasonable and good. We had the Seaweed soup and meat jun, both was tasty and plentiful. It was dinner time and the crowd was coming in. Did wait awhile for our food. We will come again and try the spicy pork and kalbi. read more

Wish I took a picture of the two plates I purchased. My friend ordered a regular BBQ chicken plate and his BBQ chicken was very dry. As for my plate I ordered a mini combination of spicy BBQ chicken and kalbi. I got my plate and there was only 1 piece of the spicy BBQ chicken and 1 thin slice of kalbi. Very disappointing because the price of my plate was about $11.50 considering there was an extra charge of $0.50 because I wanted my BBQ chicken spicy. The BBQ chicken was very dry and had very minimal taste. As well as the kalbi, wasn't marinated for long and had a taste that they just rinsed it with water. As for the sides, their jap chae was very bland and also dry! Wouldn't consider eating here again. read more

Little know eatery but the the food is fantastic. Kalbi and black rice is the best. Spicy pork and tonkatsu.

Love this place! Our go to place. My son eats all his broccoli when it's from here. Such nice people as well. Enough said. :)

Excellent customer service! We were looking for a place with saimin or something similar on a rainy day. We stopped at another restaurant nearby and were very disappointed with their attitude toward our large party of 7. We had friends visiting us from the mainland and they have 5 little ones: a tall order for any restaurant. We were welcomed despite the fact that they knew we'd be a messy, loud group. This is the main reason they deserve 5 stars!! However the food was really great! The portion sizes were huge and we had to take food home with us for later. The kids loaded up on so many options and were fully satisfied when it was time to go. We probably had everything on their menu and it was all excellent. Highly recommended! read more

So I came here a few days ago for lunch because I wanted meat jun. They're located at the Kapalama Shopping center, the same center that has Wingstop and Dillingham Zippys. For lunch, it wasn't quite hard to find parking. When I walked into the Ono Korean BBQ, i noticed that the atmosphere was "fun" with the colorful decor. It wasn't busy, there were two couples already eating and another walked in right after me. I ordered my plate and chose my sides and took a seat to wait for my food. 5-10 minutes passed and I noticed that the couple who ordered after me had gotten their food before me (I ordered a mini meat jun and they ordered a combo plate consisting of Meat Jun as well). This put me in an irritated mood, because i needed to head to work soon. I FINALLY got my food after another 5 minutes. Their prices are pretty good, considering the "mini" plate isn't so mini! Filled me up pretty quick. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the long wait and the couple receiving their food before me. Other than that, their food was pretty tasty as well! read more

Went there after craving some Korean food...didn't know what I wanted to eat but somebody had mentioned Bibim Bap. I'm not a big fan of Bibim Bap because it's hard to find a place that makes a good one...look no further Ono Korean BBQ nails it and the portions a huge...I will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Awesome addition to the complex, specially if you are craving Korean food! First things first, this location has lots of parking so you don't have to worry about scrambling for one. There's also no parking enforcements so yeah feel free to park here! This place has the same concept at Yummy's BBQ; order your main viand then you choose your sides displayed behind the glass. They accept cards. Although I mentioned that it has the same concept at Yummy's, I didn't see Jap Chae and they didn't have Spicy BBQ chicken. I think this is a family business so it might just change.. dunno.. My boyfriend and I arrived at the location around 8pm and we were greeted by a young gentleman unloading groceries from a car. Upon walking to the register, we were greeted by an older lady and proceeded to take our order. At first I thought, "Oh wow its the same as Yummy's" so ordered a 'Spicy BBQ chicken' thinking I was going to get a nice slab of spicy bbq chicken but instead got spicy chicken wings. I wished the lady had clarified that they didn't carry it upon ordering and only then I realized the mistake when I opened the plate lunch and found six huge, golden-brown pieces of chicken wings (yumm). I didn't really read the menu partly because I didn't have my glasses so I skimmed the entire menu. I didn't complain because I was hungry and I thought the plate looked very fulfilling and worth the money. My boyfriend got the bi bim kook soo, which was also good and you can choose from mild to spicy. Unfortunately my bf got an upset stomach the next morning so idk if we would recommend the bi bim kook soo; personally, I think his stomach didn't handle the heat very well. Haha! They have a soda machine, filtered water dispenser, and a coffee/espressso machine to the left of the establishment. If you want coffee refills, you have to pay $.75(?) I think. Condiments are located there as well. The only downside to this location is the amount of gnats hovering around you. One flew in my rice so I set that aside. I think the gnats got in from bringing in the produce and the fruits. Besides that, I think this place is worth trying again. Everyone keeps raving about the meat jun so I'll definitely look into it! In conclusion, this place serves a great addition to this complex mainly because there are other establishments in which you can choose from depending on your cravings, whether or not its Japanese from Dairyu, Sushi from Ahi and Vegetables, Hawaiian from Violet's Grill, or your old-time favorite, Zippys! There will be I love Country Cafe, a Dim Sum Outlet and Wingstop ready to open some time soon so definitely look out for that!! read more

Their meat jun is really good as well as their barbecue chicken. Not many Korean food places have spicy fried chicken but they do and it's good. Their downfall are the bugs in the vegetable display case. read more

They need to dump their trash more often. We ate inside the place and there were so many tiny flies all around, it was disgusting and I couldn't eat. Food was average - we had the special with kalbi, Teri chicken and Mandoo. Nothing special and totally turned off by the flies. read more

Found this place yesterday by mistake. Very good food. We had the Ono special and it feeds two people just fine. Short ribs and beef was delicious. You also get to choose 4 vegetables as your sides. We were not disappointed. read more

Great to have a Korean Bbq place in Kalihi. Ordered the Meat jun and Chicken combo. There was a lot of food and the place is clean. They also have different types of sauces which you can sample when eating in the restaurant. Price is reasonable and service is excellent. read more

Food was, like the name states, ONO. Price is like all other Korean BBQ's expensive. I ordered the kalbi short ribs, and I choose the sweet potato and Kim chee for my sides. The food was really good. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

My favorite Korean take out place any where! I'm vegetarian and their veggie side options are more delicious and have a greater variety than any place I've been! And more reasonable prices. The place is clean and the service is always friendly. I will go out of my way to go there when I'm craving Korean take out. read more

Woah plenty food! The kalbi, meat jun and bbq chicken was ono. I'm a big guy and I couldn't finish everything. The rice portion was equivalent to 3 scoops with the 4 sides and the main dish, choke food. The price was very reasonable. If you hungry for Korean food try this place. read more

I come here a lot and love this place. The amount of food they give is astounding. One plate could feed like a few people even. The ladies that work there are nice and treated me and family nicely. The inside of the store is decorated nice and simple. You can eat there or take out. They also do party platters which my family usually gets the noodles or meat jun for a party. I usually get the eat jun plate and whatever side dishes I'm craving for. Overall, I had a great experience and I will continue to buy food from here. read more

This place is underrated. The first time I tried their BBQ chicken, I fell in love. They truly live up to their name.
