Ono Hawaiian BBQ - Fontana


Pretty good fast food. In the mood for Hawaiian food?

Here it is. Is it authentic? Probably not, but large portions, decent prices make this place a solid place to visit.

Friday night in the IE, we decided against cooking this night and visited Ono Hawaiian BBQ, basically a clone of L&L, or is L&L the clone? This is located in the strip mall on Summit and Beech, amongst lots of competition from other fast food joints. At 6PM on a friday night, this place was definitely busy. We were second in line, but there were only 2 tables left when we got there, and the food actually took 20 minutes to get ready.

We ordered 2 combos, one was the Chicken Katsu, the other was the Hawaiian Combo.

This chicken katsu was good, crispy and chicken tasted fresh.

The Hawaiian Mix combo consisted of beef short ribs, regular beef and Hawaiian Chicken. The chicken was juicy and sweet (most Hawaiian food has a sweet taste to it). The beef a tad on the dry side and the ribs were slightly overcooked for my taste, but that is the way these ribs are usually made.

The sides were rice and macaroni salad. The macaroni salad had a little tang from somewhere.... kind of an unpleasant surprise in my view.

Can't complain overall , we will stop by again, maybe there won't be such a line next time.
3.5 stars out of 5 overall.
