We've been coming here for three years now and if I wrote this review when we when we had it the first year, I'd give it at least a four star, maybe even a five. However, it seems like the cut of meat they've been using lately isn't so great anymore. The taste is still the same and quite frankly it's about the only thing that's keeping me from giving it a two star (you can't go wrong with sweet sauces!!) but the quality of the meats doesn't seem that great. Maybe it was just the past few times that we've been there we've had a "bad experience".
The food is pretty much carb and protein overload. Rice, meat, a tiny bit of cabbage (on most meals). Simple but delish. You order up front and they call you number when the food is ready. They also have a few soup/noodle selections (a little too salty for my taste but decent) and salads, too. And, if you're not too hungry, you can order the mini-meals which is a much smaller portion of the regular meals offered. I definitely recommend that if you are watching your diet but want a "treat".
They used to have really good tea but nowadays they use some sort of syrup thingy that a lot of other places are converting to instead of brewing which sucks.
I've never had Hawaiian BBQ until I cam to Ono's so my opinion may be different than someone who is a bit more experienced in this area but the food is decent ... I just wish they had the same standards as they did a few years ago ... biggest reason why we don't go there that often anymore.
