Reviews
A simple truth is that you can never eat too much Hawaiian food. Our stomachs led us to Ohana Grill and we were not disappointed! First of all, the portions are HUGE! The biggest out of any Hawaiian place we've tried. Big fans of that. Ohana has my brother's fav pulled pork- it is delish! We also tried the garlic chicken which was fantastic and the yummy kalbi ribs. The ribs were tender for sure! Our favorite of all time though was the teriyaki beef- it's the best we have EVER had! You are going to crave the tender beef flavored to perfection. they weren't serving Poke when we went but you know we'll be back for that! Ohana Grill is a winner for sure!
STAFF- super kind and generous family business. Because the meal took a little while to finish, they threw in free chocolate cake and an extra serving of garlic chicken! Call to see what's available because they do run out of popular items by the end of the day sometimes (like teriyaki chicken). Staff wore masks when out front. Other reviewers noticed some didn't in the kitchen, but in chatting with the owner, they all had Covid in late November. FOOD- ginormous servings of rice, the entrees, (usually) with a scoop of macaroni salad. For us, it was a BYOV (veggies) night. We had: -Garlic chicken-- tender fried chicken chunks with mild garlic flavor. De-lish! The chunks are very big so we used knives back home. -beef teriyaki- great flavor, thinly cut, but some bites weren't as tender as we would have liked. Also de-lish. -macaroni salad- generously coated in mayonnaise dressing with little seasoning. -chocolate cake- tender, moist crumb with glaze reminiscent of pudding. CATERING- They cater for huge functions, including weddings and hungry football teams.
Today we stop in to try their Hawaiian Plate! It's $20 and is a good value- it includes lots of good food - good size Lau Lau - Kalua pig - lomi salmon - poki - chicken long rice - poi - Mac salad- We especially enjoyed the chicken long rice - poki- lomi salmon and the Lau Lau was full of meat and very tasty. I'm sorry to report no mask or gloves worn in the kitchen or this would have been a 5 star review! Sorry guy during this time of Covid I think this is an important part of doing business- you ask your customers to wear mask and that should also apply to your staff.
One of the hidden gems of Utah valley if you ask me. Service is always quick, food is made fresh to order, the portions are large and the price is very reasonable. Easy meal to share with two people as well. I moved away in 2017 so I was itching to come back and try it this past week while back in town for two short days. Food is as good as ever! Hope they're still around whenever I make it back to Provo.
This place is by far the best Hawaiian food place I've had! The food always tastes fresh and the chicken is always juicy. The sauces are also tasteful and deliciously add flavor to food. The staff are so nice and friendly! They always smile and always somehow make you feel like you're apart of their family for the short time you are there! The restaurant is a nice little setting and family style mom & pop type of atmosphere. It is quiet and homey as well. You can totally relax here while eating. Pro Tip: Check their Facebook page for hours before you go all the way there. They sometimes close early.
