Reviews for Ono Hawaiian BBQ in San Jose, CA
I once rated this 5 star. Changed it to 1 and if I could give it 0 I would. Flat soda, hard rice, undercooked chicken, ... macaroni so soggy you'd think it was potato salad. Go to Ono near Auto Mall Parkway in Fremont then come get some food here. You wouldnt even think it was the same chain. But seriously wth happened to this location, new ownershit? Read more
I changed my review from 5 stars to 2 stars, because each time we order we get different amount of food and it is confusing. I... ask for add ribs to my plate, usually I get two pieces. Last time I paid extra $5 for just a tiny piece mostly bones, this timeagain just get one tiny piece. Read more
First time. Had the Island Fire Chicken and Chicken Katsu. Was yummy... exceeded my expectations.
wow I'm sad it took a pandemic for me to find this place. the aloha plate comes with plenty of veggies which makes me feel a... bit better about scarfing down sauced or fried breaded chicken. the veggies are also pretty good. some edamame bits in there andnot too heavy on the dressing. proteins are delicious too. love the katsu. went today and my plate earned me a free smallerplate for some promo! (til may 02 2020 I think) Read more
Say aloha to good staple food, island style. I had the grilled mahi mahi, which was fine, albeit a little on the dry side. It... came with steamed rice and veggies, which were nice, and surprisingly a sort of macaroni salad. Hawaiian macaroni? Anyway, thereare lots of other choices, and my friend said the barbeque chicken was good. He's from Oahu, so that's a good sign of Hawaiianauthenticity. Order and pickup at a counter, and there's a small casual dining area inside. They apparently get a lot oftake-out business, since even the dine-in orders are packed to go, which is handy for taking leftovers home. The prices are onthe plus side for lunch, but fine for dinner. Portions are plentiful enough for two people with lean appetites to share. Read more
I don't know if the fire BBQ has always had a ridiculous amount of seasoning, but I'm trying it one more time because I like... spicy foods. I think the +3.99 for a drink and side is a little bit pricey. Easily a 15 dollar meal at that point. This placealso needs that detailed cleaning. It definitely gets the once-over from the crew, but needs a deep cleaning. The fire chickenwas better the second time as it had a reasonable amount of seasoning and more sauce Read more
It was very good, between 3 1/2 to 4 stars. The portion was generous, I couldn't finish my plate. About $10 per order without... drink. Read more
