Ono Hawaiian Bbq

The food was great but they reallly need more staff our food was getting cold waiting to be bagged up because the person taking the order had a bunch of people and seems as if she is barely learning the menu. Most of the customers were getting annoyed of the wait. They really need to train their new hires better. Other than that I enjoyed the food

Don’t know why I had never tried them before, I lived in Hawaii for 7 years and loved getting Hawaiian plate lunches, came back to the states and really missed them. Last week I tried one in Pomona and loved it it’s almost exactly like the plates you get in Hawaii(only thing missing is the Kim, yes that’s a Korean side but, the Hawaiians have adopted it into their meals). So yesterday I gave it a second try at the one in la puente, it was exactly like the first one. Update, This last visit makes for my third one, extremely disappointed, 6 hours after eating both myself and my dog(gave her a couple small pieces of the beef) became violently Sick. Luckily I was staying at a hotel or they’d be buying me a new mattress , sheets and comforter. Had to put the dog in the bath tub for the night. Yes it was that bad! Not sure why this time was so bad but, I should have stopped eating it, when that first bite didn’t taste quite right, instead I just added more teriyaki sauce. It’s a shame because now I have to cross it off my list of places to eat.

I don't eat meat and what I asked for was reasonable and would have been cheaper for the store. I asked for the mini meal which includes a scoop of rice, macaroni salad, veggies and a protein. All I asked was if I could get a scoop of macaroni salad instead. Apparently, that is impossible. She recommended a salad, but I said I wanted the rice and everything else. I understand this was a substitution, but she was not even trying to find a solution. At one point, she said "how would we even plate it?" Which i responded without the meat. Not to mention when I said I don't eat meat, she offered shrimp... This place does not accommodate for any dietary restrictions and is extremely rude and unprofessional.
