Ohana Hawaiian Barbecue - Fremont

DELICIOUS! Will never go anywhere else for hawaian bbq. Seriously is some of the best that I've tasted. The macaroni salad is . I will be a returning customer for life!

The atmosphere is so depressing its uncomfortable. At least put some music on and try to have a personality. I've been here for 5 minutes and I already want to kill myself.

We were craving some BBQ so we decided to check out this place decided to pick up some food to go. We got a BBQ chicken plate, a fried shrimp plate (comes with 2 scoops of rice, mac salad, over a bed of steamed cabbage), spam musubi, chicken katsu musubi, and BBQ chicken musubi. When we got home, we found out that they had given us fried fish instead of fried shrimp. We called and the server, Kevin, told us he'd comp us with a free order of fried shrimp if we came back the next day with the receipt. However, they were nice enough to give us an entire plate. Now onto the food itself BBQ chicken 3.5/5. Flavors are great. Sweet, savory, and smoky. But the chicken itself was a little dry for me. Once I put it in the microwave, it softened up quite a bit. Fried fish 2.5/5. the breading was nice and crispy, but the fish itself was quite dry, tough, and underseasoned. Fried shrimp 3/5. I felt like the breading:shrimp ratio was a little too heavy on the breading and a little too bland for my liking. My biggest issue with all 3 plates were that the rice was terribly underseasoned. I felt like the shortcomings on the protein could've been overlooked if the rice had some more flavor, but sadly, no. The musubi, however, was DELICIOUS. I mean, really really good. So good that we ended up getting more the next day. The meats were delicious, the seaweed wrap was great, and the rice was topped with a sweet and savory katsu sauce that made everything way better. Easily a 4/5 for all of them. Prices are great for the amount of food we received, and ambience is decent for a chain restaurant. Personally, I wouldn't dine in, but that's just because I prefer to eat at the comfort of my own home. I'd probably come back again, but I'd stick to the chicken plate and definitely pick up a couple of musubi.

I highly recommend this Hawaiian BBQ restaurant. They serve generous portions of delicious food that is fresh and flavorful. Make sure to try the chicken katsu with Katsu sauce. The restaurant is clean and the service is excellent. This is my favorite spot for Hawaiian BBQ.

The portion sizes were generous and I really enjoyed the chicken katsu and BBQ beef.
