Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a hawaiian bbq in Escondido, California. It is listed at 555 W Mission Ave, Escondido, CA 92025, which places it among the local businesses of Escondido that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Escondido, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 amโ9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Ono Hawaiian BBQ at (760) 627-0988; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is onohawaiianbbq.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Came here on a whim after a hard day's labor of house projects. I was pretty hungry so got the plate and enjoyed the teriyaki chicken, rice, and mac salad. It's not really distinguishable from L&L which I have not been to in years but was previously a fan of for their fatty chicken. It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Kind of a place I'd return to 1-2 times/year. If they had a punch card, points accrual promos, or coupons, I'd definitely consider returning more frequently. I'd rather skip the mac salad and get my teriyaki chicken fix at Panda Express across the street with more entree varieties.

Friendly service and clean environment. I wasn't thrilled with the food. Chicken seemed a little rubbery. Mac salad was good ๐. My husband said he liked it so maybe my taste buds were off that day. Worth another try.

Edit 3/29/26: Taking my review down a star. Weโve been coming relatively frequently since opening and have noticed the portions have gotten a lot smaller. I ordered a half chicken half bbq beef and literally had 5 bite size pieces of beef on my plate, and itโs happened a few times. Not a great sign when portions shrink by this much in just a month of being open. We came for their opening night and enjoyed our food. We ordered pretty much everything off the menu; katsu, BBQ chicken, BBQ beef, short ribs, and spam musubi and everything tasted great. If this location keeps up the quality itโll be tough to go to the other Hawaiian place! Quick edit: We also tried the hula guava pie and our family had mixed opinions on it. I guess itโs a new menu item as of last year so maybe theyโre still working out the recipe? It could be best described as a guava pop tart. Heavy frosting on top that didnโt add to the pastry IMO. The flavor was ok but I wouldnโt order it again.
