Ohana Hawaiian BBQ

Everything is fresh and delicious. My favorite is the peeled garlic shrimp they’re soooo bomb I can’t help myself I always order them. I love how you can get full order or mini order which is actually more than enough food for one meal. The prices are right and they’re always really friendly I definitely recommend this place

Ohana’s Hawaiian Bbq is probably one of the best hawaiian chain food places in Vegas, definitely recommend coming here! The BBQ mix plate is amazing. I come here so much with my boyfriend and we both enjoy it so so much!

Being fairly new to the Las Vegas area (from the east coast), I’ve been looking for that «go to» take out restaurant. This one my family really enjoys. It’s not too expensive, though I can’t call it cheap… yet the food is tasty leaving me full without out feeling heavy. It’s increasingly becoming our «go to»! We usually order the chicken and steak tip combo w/​rice and macaroni salad.

Decided to give this place a try. The katsu was tasty and the portion was pretty big for a «mini». It came with a scoop of rice and mac salad. I brought a good amount back home (dinner)! Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

My go to for fish filets and short ribs to fix a craving! This place is fast and the quality is great. Be sure to ask for an extra side of sauce for your filet.

Really great food and very friendly employees. I try something new everytime and I’m never disappointed.

My favorite spot to get lunch. I always grab a spam musubi and some Thai tea. For the days where I need a meal I’ll buy the chicken katsu as well. I’ve been going here for 5 years and nothing has changed. There have been a few additions to the menu but I keep it simple with the katsu or the loco moco. It’s a tiny restaurant with 5 tables inside so I usually get my food to-​go. I recommend phoning your order in because this place can get busy, especially around 2pm when the high school kids are out. If you prefer a more relaxed sit down restaurant with dessert, I recommend Island Flavor down the street, but for fast food Hawaiian style, you can’t go wrong here!

I just freaking love this place! I haven’t really tried other stuff other than BBQ chicken and fried shrimp but oh boy, I am in heaven whenever I have them! This is one of my comfort foods, and I never had a bad experience with their service. I travel 6 miles just for their food, even though there are much closer Hawaiian places to me, because no one so far is as delicious as what they have here :)

This place is A-​ok like the rating says. My «go to place» if you will, when im craving some teriyaki or spam musubi. Main reason is the prices. That’s it… try it … you might like it!

Came in here about 9pm today and ordered the fried shrimp combo and it was really good. As soon as the clock hit 9:30pm they were telling people to leave even if you were still eating. I just thought that was kind of rude. Other than that, the food was good.

I work close by and I’ve been coming on and off for over 4 years now. Sadly, they still have not set a good system for promptly bringing the food out or in order.
I was craving for gyoza today and I walked in to a fairly empty place. I was pretty stoked since I only have an hour for lunch and I knew ordering gyoza will not be a long wait at all. Well, I was dead wrong.
It got pretty crowded after I ordered. I sat down and 10 – 15 mins passed, I realized that people who ordered after me got their meals first. Mind you, these are actual meals with rice, mac salad, meat, etc. Two people came in and seemed to know the workers and ordered a bunch of stuff and they got their food so fast!
I waited 30 mins for my order of gyoza and they weren’t even pan seared as well as they used to be. Everybody after me got their large orders and I was still sitting down. They only grabbed my order when I stood up from my chair.
Guys, please figure out a better system. Don’t treat customers more kindly than others just because you know them personally. I haven’t written a bad review for them the past years just because I kept giving them more chances but this is the last straw. I’ll take my business elsewhere despite this place being close to work.

Love this place eat here at least twice a week. People are very friendly food is amazing and very big. Everything I’ve ever had here is delicious!

I had the salmon BBQ. It was very tender and marinated perfectly. Some of the better BBQ that I’ve had. Garlic shrimp was very flavorful without being overly saturated with oil and fat.
Was surprised that the food felt generally healthy. I didn’t have to be rolled out of the place.

UPDATE! ³⁄₂₉
This place is in my backyard so I keep going. I’ve found a staple that warrants a better review: garlic shrimp! ⁶⁄₅ stars. Awesome. Also the older lady who rings up the orders is super nice. Spam musubi is still delicious, and the short ribs are good too.
Overall after a shakey start this place has won me over.

Admittedly I don’t have a ton of experience with Hawaiian food, but when The Egg and I has a better Loco Moco than a dedicated Hawaiian place, there’s a problem.
I’ve been here 3 times. The very first time it was 9:20PM and as I entered the open door, I was stopped by a young girl:
«We’re closed».
I looked at my watch. 9:20. I looked at the sign, pointed, and said, «The sign says you close at 9:30.»
«We’re closed».
«It’s not 9:30.»
«We’re closed».
I left.
4 months later I gave them another chance. The Spam masubi was great, although how you mess one of those up, I’m not sure. The Loco Moco was OK. The brown gravy was the problem. Flavorless. The eggs and patties were passable. There was an enormous amount of rice. So if you’re in it for the rice and rice alone, this is your place.
A week after that I had a Loco Moco at The Egg and I on Rainbow and it was way, way better. So yeah. I would expect a Hawaiian place to do a Hawaiian staple better than a breakfast place, but evidently not in this case.

Ohana’s is fantastic! I have to say that every time I’ve dined here or either did take out I’ve received very good customer service! That of course goes hand and hand with providing excellent food as well! Though i only eat the same thing every time it’s consistent and works for me! The chicken katsu and spam masubis are my favorite! In comparison to Aloha kitchen I have to give it to Ohana’s! Not only are they more convenient for me but they just happen to have better quality! Solely my option but anyways keep up the great work Ohana’s!!! Sincerely, your Happy and satisfied returning customer :-)

I really enjoy Ohana! My go to is the Garlic shrimp… it’s so good. I’ve tried to branch out but it’s just something about them. I’ll admit they could toss in a few more for the price. The service is always quick and friendly but I tend to call ahead. I have noticed some people have to wait a while.
Give it a try!

yeah,. .. no.
I’ve grown to expect a certain level of awesome when it comes to Hawaiian eats in Vegas, which shouldn’t really be too unheard of, especially when considering how many folks from Hawaii actually reside here
(Vegas is officially Hawaii’s ninth island for goodness sake).
And don’t get me wrong, Vegas does have some amazing Hawaiian eateries.
Ohana just doesn’t happen to be one of them.
Was it because it is a chain place?
No, for whatever reason, I’m a little more forgiving about that kinda stuff out here.
*Not to say Vegas lacks originality or anything but this town is home to a mini Statue of Liberty, Tour Eiffel, and one pyramid of Giza (complete with Sphinx).
What was really disappointing (besides the food obviously) is the fact it is regarded so highly on Unilocal and received some really super positive reviews.
Chicken katsu, pork lau lau, bbq chicken, and garlic shrimp. meh, okay, meh, and meh.
Oh well, I guess you can’t always have a winning hand.
Aloha Ohana.

I’m conflicted because I’m not sure if I just don’t dig Hawaiian food or if it’s just this place. The malasadas were A1 though, so they’ve got that going for them in my book.
I’ve actually visited Hawaii a few times and ate there… I enjoyed the food during my visit. I was craving some Hawaiian food and decided to try this place. It was simply OKAY. The chicken that I ordered didn’t seem all the way done, but perhaps it was a fluke? Not sure. The rice and mac salad were both tasty. The fish that I ordered was good, the batter that they use was tasty!
The wait time wasn’t extremely long… though, we did have enough time to visit another place to order food (for the boyfriend). The service was… quick. Seemed like everyone was in a hurry.
I am willing to give this place another try… scratch that, I want to give this place another try. So I will update then… but for now, it was simply «okay.»

Stopped by on 08÷22÷14 for a quick dinner on the way to Wet N Wild. Ordered a BBQ mix plate, boba milk tea and thai tea w/​boba. The teas were good but the boba was super mushy. However, for $ 2.50−3.00 can you really complain?
The food was really similar to an L&L in regards to taste and price. The BBQ mix plate comes with a couple pieces of chicken, a handful of sliced beef and a strip of kalbi. The macaroni salad was a little bland and just ok. The meats were well seasoned and overall tasty; I just wished there was more than just a single strip of kalbi!
Not sure if the food is worth driving down here for since it’s similar to L&L and any other Hawaiian joint that serves BBQ style food. I probably would come again for thai tea though the next time I’m on this side of town

Went here on 06÷06÷14 to grab two plates of BBQ mixed plate to go. My buddy Gil was coming over for movie night and it was just too dang hot for me to cook so… Ohana it is (was!)
No joke, at almost 5 PM, it was more than 100* F outside. I was sweating bullets when I pulled up. I walked inside and other people were waiting for their to-​go orders. I ordered two BBQ mixed plates, paid the $ 20 bill, and said, «May I please have a cup for water while I wait.» The lady at the register said, «We don’t have water.» WHAT?! We live in a hair dryer in Vegas — hot, dry and windy — and you don’t serve water?! What is this cruel world coming to?
Now, for those of you who don’t like sweet drinks, like myself, don’t think you’re going to get away with getting an unsweetened tea or something from the drink fountain. Every drink is sweetened. For shame! I did notice that they have bubble tea, thai tea and 8oz bottled waters in a little fridge that they store half and half in, but I’m not quite sure if those are for sale. If they are, really? Somebody can buy a cup for unlimited fountain drinks but not unlimited water? This, I cannot accept.
Food was decent. I ordered 2 scoops of mac salad instead of 2 scoops of rice, simply because I don’t like rice (yep!) and that was no extra charge to sub, which I appreciate.
I noticed a guy came in to order two boba drinks and the lady at the cash register asked him to fill up his cup with ice from the drink fountain, before she filled it up with premade Thai Tea. After watching that (I tried to take a picture because it was so odd) I most likely would not order boba from here.
To save myself from sudden death while waiting, I went and grabbed a water out of my trunk, but it was hot enough to cook a Cup of Noodles without a microwave so meh.
