Ono Hawaiian BBQ, Bakersfield CA

Ordered for pick up because I didn't want to cook dinner and was craving some Hawaii BBQ. The service was excellent the girl who answered the phone was lovely and patient to answer my questions. The order was placed easily and the food was delicious. My order was accurately made. Even my picky 10 year old finished his plate. I will definitely be coming back!

I've only ever been to the one out in the Rosedale area I did not know this one had been here on the east side for almost 4 years was very happy to see it and lunch was delicious

Price 7/10
Flavor 7/10

I spent 27$ for 2 people, it did fill us up but most of the food is actually lettuce
Chicken flavor is very blend, marinated on the spot, doesn't seem to be marinated days before

Its okay, maybe not my style
Every human is different

Food was gross and cashiers are rude they just stand there looking dumb I had a question about the menu and the cashier looked clueless and had an attitude.

Place is very inconsistent. Had the pork and beef one night. Dreamt about the pork that night, beef was a miss. Went back for the pork then the beef was the star that time and pork was completely bland. Had to drown it in sauce at work with sushi sauce. Rice was also just mush and overcooked or over watered. Thumbs down. They don’t answer the phone sometimes either.

Train staff better, please. I’ll try the katsu chicken next time. Please don’t disappoint.

Everything went well food was good employees were professional the only thing that they're lacking is speed compared to the store in Rosedale the Rosedale store you get your food quicker than the one at the on the east side on Mount Vernon

We got some seafood and the inferno (spicy) chicken. They had some delicious juice drinks in the cooler. The food was served with white rice and Mac salad. Very delicious.

Austin Jerry and I had super good food here Will go again No pineapple even thou I think it would be perfect with their food

My girlfriend really enjoys this place, but I felt the food was pretty bland and dry. Didn't care for it. Worst of all is the long wait, I ordered one plate and it took 25 minutes for it to come out.

I was not at all impressed with either the food, or the service. They messed up our order, one of the plates was wrong. They did not offer to replace it, nor did they apologize for mistake. The only response was, that's what you ordered. Wrong!

The food is garbage go somewhere else and some hairy person needs to learn to wear a hair net there was hare in my wife's food

People say that location is everything in operating a successful business. This restaurant is in one of the hardest places to get to and find. Their signage is easily seen from the main road, but getting into the parking lot and finding the entrance is a whole another story. You have to go through the maze of business complexes and parking lots, into the back of the building, to finally walk through their front door, which seems like it would be another business's back door.
Given we went during the dinner rush and we ordered takeout. I believe that having to wait for 45 minutes for your food, until you're the last ones in the entire restaurant, was kind of sad and contributed much to the low score on this review.
The service was decent. The food was ok. I've been to a lot better Hawaiian places in Utah. I guess for California this is probably one of the better places that you can get Hawaiian food. I found their spicy chicken to be too spicy to taste anything else. I think that kind of defeats the purpose of having spices added meal, is when it dominates ask the other flavors.

Missing The Islands already.

Food is good. This is the best kept secret in town.

If you wonder that someone is going to make you eat poi, fear not. This is quality food. May not be healthy but how can you go wrong with spam musubi?

The app will make the wait bearable

This place has VERY HIGH cleanliness standards.

Only complaint: you know a haoli when they call Mac sal, macaroni salad. If you put "Hawaiian" in your name, you need to FEEL like your at The Islands.

Good good food, so delicious. Hot and fresh, a little pricey but worth the penny. Restaurant is clean and organized. Located around a food and shopping area. Enter through the parking lot side.

I have been a return customer dozens of times to this location, I have been a loyal customer and loved the food. That being said this location's food and service have droped in standard that wont be returning any longer.just not the food i used to enjoy the last several visits, meats are crunchy and dry and looks like everything was just tossed in a box and rushed out.sad to see hopefully things turn around.

I'm not use to the salt, however, they have good food and a nice environment. I had really good service and appreciate them being open. Thank you.

I was down from WA visiting ohana in Bakersfield, CA. We have no local grinds in my area of WA. Considering it's been a while since I had Hawaii kine grinds, this food was da best. Almost broke da mouth.

The food was fine, but Disappointed with how slow things were. We had someplace to be, so Ordered online to pick up on our way. Got the alert that the food was ready before getting to the location. It took twenty minutes after arriving before we got our food. All the People who were in line to order, ordered, got their food, and left well before we got our food.

I love this place. Very clean and staffs are friendly. First time I order food here and I will always come here. Already told few of my friends and family and now they all loved Ono BBQ.

I enjoyed my dinner as well as the environment. The restaurant was nice and clean. The meat was nice and tender. Definably worth the price.
