★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I came and ordered using the drive trough. They charged me 2.99 for a water, I did order a large water, but was never told they would charge me for a large soda. I waited 15 minutes and they had my order wrong and the lady was upset. Then they refunded me the money and charged me again for a mistake they made since from the beginning. They never apologized for the wait or anything. Gave me the food and I was on my way total of 25 min waiting on the drive trough. Not good at all, definetly not coming back. Food is good, but not worth the hassle...
September 07 · licxie floresWent to get the kids meal and they didn’t give us the apple juice or apple sauce - apparently it’s discontinued- they didn’t tell us that when we ordered.We got the chicken catsu and it literally came with 3 pieces of broccoli. Pathetic and not worth the wait. The drive thru lady was super rude too. 8-1-25 at 5:33pm. Whoever the young lady working drive thru was very rude.
August 01 · Gabrielle TurnerIt was decent, but not as delicious as the one in Avondale. You will notice a difference if you've tried the other location. The meat lacked flavor, and the macaroni salad was a bit too cold and also not as flavorful.
October 09 · Nikki GeeGreat service at the drive! Ono is a healthier alternative to fast food. I enjoyed the Aloha plate. It was very hearty. The meat was cooked too perfection.Accessible parking and entrance.
September 10 · O'ZandraThis was our first time going and really enjoyed the food and customer service was great very clean inside restaurant and the atmosphere was very enjoyable I got the teriyaki plant and it was super moist and tasted amazing and really easy for my 2 yr old to bite and chew so that's definitely a plus for me when you're little ones can enjoy the food too
