Hawaiian BBQ

I was actually trying to go to Ono Hawaiian Barbecue, but my navigation kept recommending this restaurant because of its high reviews. It redirected me here twice, so I thought, “Fine, let’s just try it.” And I’m so glad I did — I ended up discovering an amazing place! The owner may seem a bit reserved at first, but he’s actually very kind. The macaroni salad was delicious, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the chicken katsu was honestly the best I’ve ever had in my life — perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. And all of this for just $12.99! Places like this truly deserve more recognition. I really hope more people come and support this hardworking Korean owner. These are so good. sooooo gooood.

One of my go to spots when I'm in Pasadena. The serving sizes are good and the prices are some the best in the area. Everything on the menu is basically under $15 and the spam and chicken musubi are about $3 and big. It's a smaller place, so just a couple tables and a tv but the owners who I believe are husband and wife are super chill and welcoming. Will definitely continue coming here for sure.

The food is good, but not worth how much you are paying. I recently got a mini meal with a small Thai tea. But the portion size was very small for a almost 16 dollar meal. Maybe it is more worth if I got the normal portion food. But the mini meal option is really just too small of a portion

First time here. I don’t get the whole “Hawaiian bbq,” thing. It’s basically any spot that sells beef/pork,chicken with some sauce. Cold macaroni no’s not Hawaiian, Spam mixed in with other items is not uniquely Hawaiian. Menu says combo includes “any,” two meats…so I order bbq chicken with Spam…owner says with a cold, smug voice, “No Spam.” I said you said “any two meats, the menu says any two meats…” Still no Spam LOL! What a joke. The food was no better than any charred chicken spot with teriyaki sauce. Mac salad was bland. NO roll. The bbq with onions also bland. To top it off, I paid almost $16 for what is $10.99-12.00 elsewhere. Place was dirty. Hard pass on this spot.

This place is fire. I have went here once a month for an entire year. One of my favorite parts is the catering platters. Can get a lot of delicious food to feed multiple families for a great price.
