"This restaurant offers a taste reminiscent of the small-town cooking you might find throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Ono serves these dishes in a way that takes me back to Maui. Plus, you can make life easier by opting for take-out every time, making it simple to bring leftovers home. You'll likely have more food than you can finish in one sitting unless you have a hearty Hawaiian appetite. I appreciate the transparency of a place where you can see into the kitchen. Here, they occasionally ask for details about my order while it's being prepared, which adds a personal touch. Parking is convenient since it’s located in a spacious mall lot. Don’t underestimate the rice here; it's outstanding! I believe it’s made in a Japanese style, which is a pleasant surprise. While my food is cooking, I can grab a few small cups of the sauces I want to enjoy with my meal. If you're from Hawaii, feel free to request chopsticks! If you're visiting from elsewhere, go ahead and grab them anyway—everyone improves with practice. The drinks may also have an authentic touch, and the restaurant itself is impeccably clean with ample indoor seating for the Alameda Island neighborhood. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, guiding me through the menu to ensure I get exactly what I'm craving. Aloha is definitely present here!"

I’m rating this restaurant 5 stars mainly because of an employee named Amy. Although the food is good, Amy’s customer service skills are exceptional.

I ordered the chicken katsu and every single piece of chicken was not fully cooked through. Every piece was bright pink! I will never be eating here again. I can understand one piece getting missed accidentally but every single piece was not cooked.

The staff here is very friendly, and the food is great! I always order the short ribs along with a side of shrimp. They don't offer the traditional cocktail sauce, but that's not an issue for me. As for parking, we've never had trouble finding a spot. View menu

Hawaiian cuisine never fails to impress. I ordered the number 1 plate, and the teriyaki chicken was tender and flavorful. The overall experience met my expectations. The servers were friendly, but the tables could have been cleaner, as they were sticky.

As a person born and raised in Hawaii and currently living in the Bay Area, this restaurant really hit the spot for my plate lunch cravings! The BBQ chicken and katsu combination was amazing, and I appreciated the self-serve katsu sauce. I no longer have to travel to San Francisco or Milpitas for L&L!

Ono Hawaiian BBQ has good, tasty food.I had the Aloha Special, $6! It came with 3 nice pieces of Whiting Fish, rice, and a salad with delicious sesame ginger dressing, an order of Barbeque Beef that came with good Macaroni Salad and a vegetable medley of nicely seasoned cabbage, broccoli, and carrots, and an order of good Crab Rangoon appetizers 6 pieces.I have returned to Ono Hawaiian BBQ twice since this review. ??!

The customer service at this restaurant is nonexistent. While the food isn't bad, it used to be my go-to lunch spot on my days off every other week. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning. I visited today to order takeout and was asked to leave because I had my dog with me; they didn't even bother to ask if he was a service animal, which he is. It's not surprising that this place has poor reviews; they clearly don't know what they're doing.

The experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The place appeared neglected, with dirty windows, untidy tables, and an overall lack of attention to cleanliness. The food was greasy and inconsistent. I ordered the Island Fire Chicken, which lacked both spice and flavor—it was simply overwhelmed with grease and what seemed like an attempt at chili and spices, but ultimately fell flat. The Mac Salad was a small, unappetizing scoop of macaroni slathered in mayonnaise. While I understand this is a chain restaurant, the quality of the food was subpar, and the evident disorganization and uncleanliness pointed to poor management or supervision. There are many better options available, an...

"Tasty authentic Vietnamese dishes made in a mom and pop restaurant in Oakland on the corner of East 12th Street and 11th Avenue. We got the Hu Tieu Mi Kho (Dried egg noodles), Pho Dac Biet (Beef Pho with various cuts of beef), and the Bo Kho (beef stew) that comes with a Vietnamese baguette to dip in the stew. These 3 dishes totaled about $45 after taxes. Two of the dishes (dried noodles and the pho) were full of flavor and you can smell and taste some of the traditional spices and herbs that come with them. The Dried egg noodles come with 2 quail eggs, 2 shrimp, a couple slices of pork, slices of pork kidney and liver, minced pork, bits of chicharron (fried pork belly skin), chives, cilantro, green onions, and blanched mung bean sprouts with a bowl of broth on the side. It comes with Vietnamese pickled jalapenos, sate paste, and a soy based sauce to mix in with the noodles. Was very authentic and delicious! There was even minced garlic in the dry noodles, which added another nice layer of flavor to this dish. The second dish, beef stew, although it smelled right, was more of a soup than braised stew. It was watered down (and tasted watered down too) and would have gone better with noodles. Way too watery for the baguette to really dip or scoop up the flavor. Made the bread a soggy mush. Plus there was not that many pieces of beef (they used flank with the membrane intact), and only 2 slices of carrot. We had to scoop to the bottom of the container to raise the beef, above the broth for the photo. Otherwise we almost mistook it for the container of broth for the pho. I would pass on getting the beef stew next time since the value of what you pay and flavor were somewhat lacking. Lastly we tried the pho dac biet and it was tasty with a nice balanced broth before you add the herbs and condiments (hoisin, sriracha, etc). It comes with the usual mung bean sprouts, thai basil, and sliced jalapenos with the raw slices of beef on top (for you to cook by pouring over the boiling broth). Prices are reasonable for the dry noodles and pho, but not the beef stew. While waiting for our takeout order, the husband owner kindly offered us some water or hot jasmine tea to sip while we waited. Inside of the restaurant, there are 7 tables with seating for 4 each, and a longer table with seating for 8 available for dining here. The parking lot across the street that people used to use seems to be closed/chained as a private lot now, so be prepared to find and park on the main streets or neighborhood around the restaurant. It is in a lesser part of Oakland about 5 minutes away from downtown, so be sure to lock your car or use public transit, as there was a lot of trash dumped around the neighborhood. Despite all of this, I would return for their tasty dry noodles and pho. And would be interested to try their other dishes too (minus the beef stew)."
