The best part about getting my nails done is it's next door to Chris ono grinds and it's a great excuse to try everything on the menu. I can never resist getting spam musubi which is great it's 2 for $6. I tried the Jalapeño cilantro pork bowl with the fried egg. Everything was cooked perfect. I always add nori and hot sauce. I love I can just all the local juices. The place is small with only the few out doors tables so either get in early or take it to go. The menu seems to change and some of my favorites are no longer on the menu. Whenever I miss local food this is just up the road and hits all my cravings!

Really good Huli huli chicken, macaroni salad, poke bowls. We like to get takeout from here.

this place was amazing!! we had walked past a few times and decided to try it, SO GOOD! there were so many to go orders that it took a bit for our food to come out, but they gave us extra masubis and hawaiian sun which was awesome and so nice/unexpected. the meat was delicious, we both got combo plates and the pork and different kinds of chicken were delicious. spam masubi was also 12/10, we can't wait to go back.

This place is bringing the island flavors and vibes to the area and I'm all for it. Edgar gave me the warmest of welcome since I just move to the area. The ahi tuna plate was delicious and so well seasoned. Will be coming back when I have a craving for Hawaiian food.

We got the Huli Huli chicken plate with sweet potato medallions and the kalua pork plate with coleslaw, and added a side of mac salad. The food is on the salty side, but because they give you two big scoops of rice to go with your meal, it balances out. The sauce on the Huli Huli chicken is so good. I love the sweet potato medallions as a side. Mac salad was good too, and I got to try the spam musubi this time which is a classic. But the best thing of all is the customer service. Angel was super friendly!

Nice little neighborhood gem. The Huli Huli chicken was great! The char sui chicken was good and something i haven't seen on a menu before. All the chicken was tender and flavorful. You got the Mac salad down right too. The kids liked the spam musubi. Theres limited seating outside for about 15 people max. Also no restroom available there.

Great vibes and cute location to eat at. Went at night so had no problems getting a table to eat at outside. The chicken and kalua pork are so tasty, but I've definitely had better mac salad. Overall, would recommend for some no frills, tasty Hawaiian food!

What a spot! It doesn't look like much but the food here hits. It's a small spot with like three tables outside, seems like more of a takeout spot. I got these. Combo Plate (Kalua Pork and Hula Hula Chicken - The hula hula chicken is to die for! Flavors were so on point and great texture. I would just get a plate of that. The Kalua pork was good too but didn't feel it was that special. Combo plate is good to try multiple items. (4.5/5) Guava Bbq Pork Bacon Bowl - What an interesting mix. It's heavy on the sauce and a whole layer of rice but it was so good. There a lot going on and it's hard to explain but it was delicious. I would get this again. (4/5) This is definitely the spot to get Hawaiian food in San Diego. Big portions for reasonable prices. Delicious. Parking - Just on the nearby streets. Free but met have to walk further if you can't find one nearby. Make sure to read the signs there is SD PD rolling around giving tickets.

I haven't had a lot of Hawaiian barbecue before so was excited to try Chris Ono. The storefront is pretty small with no seating inside. They have a few tables outside. My only issue was the outdoor seating was covered in flies. I'm not sure if it's the building or if it's because the outdoor trash cans were uncovered. Next time I'd enjoy my food better to go. I got the huli huli chicken. The portion was huge! It came with a ton of chicken, rice, and I got the sweet potato slices. I wasn't able to finish my food so I took it home. Although I technically dined in, they packaged up my order in to go container. I also got a mint pineapple ice tea. It was just okay. I was expecting it to be minty but it mostly tasted like pineapple juice. If i were to go back, I'd order the same thing again food again, but probably skip the tea.

If you're trying to figure out what plate to get- look no further it's the huli huli chicken. We got a combo plate with huli huli chicken and kalua pork. The kalua pork was tender but not very flavorful ESPECIALLY when next to the huli huli chicken. The chicken has a sweetness and smokiness that is unmatched. Perfectly cooked and sauced. Mac salad was good too The other plate was the volcano bowl with teriyaki chicken. This was really good too! Chicken was flavorful and tender- perfectly cooked to me and I can be picky. Great flavors mixed in and I liked the thick shredded cheese on top. The only reason I wouldn't get it again is bc of how good the huli huli chicken plate is They had a lot of drink options I plan on trying next time! Service was friendly and fast. There's a seating area outside, but I think this is a good place to call in and pick up from. Parking can be a pain in this area so grab and go is a good option!
