Love that they are healthy conscious, they had a list of some menu items and their protein and sodium content as well as other measurements which made making a selection so much easier. Will return, staff is very friendly and the food was made fresh and quick“

“This is a little place but the food is full of flavor and made to order. Im not a sushi person but i did try 2 rolls of sushi and they were super delicious. The service was on point, fast and professional. I've been coming to the restaurant for a couple of years. This establishment has superseded my expectations!
It was clean smelled delicious and the service was superb. Last the food was filling yet light on my stomach. Thank you for a great meal and experience.“

“Best sushi restaurant! Best specialty rolls, sushi, cucumber salad, EVERYTHING! The atmosphere is fun and festive! And Owner, Managers, wait staff and sushi chefs are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable ! Don’t like going anywhere else for my sushi!“

“I have been going here for years. Stopped in for some bowls today. The combo bowl and chicken bowl were tasty. Also ordered some California Roll and it was okay. Out of the 5 pieces two were missing Avocado. The teriyaki sauce was also an odd consistency this time so we passed on eating that. Service was quick and friendly when ordering.“

“Great food, Great service! Wait staff is friendly and efficient.
My only note is that whenever I go, it seems like they only want to give you one refill on soda and then seemingly ignore your empty cup otherwise after the first time.

I think more dessert options would be nice.“

“Oki Japan is very tasty and at a great price. We were there before the circus, which was on the lot and had a nice meal. It is located inside the Lakewood Center Mall.The place is small and does a lot of to go and delivery. There are some nice places to sit and the mall area right out front as a lot of seating.We had shrimp tempura and rice which was great and some sushi. The sushi was good, not great. We will have something else next time. Their beef bento box was really good and their vegetables are steamed nicely and they are super tasty. Their chicken teriyaki is excellent.The place is clean and the service is really nice and they are fast. Have fun.“

“really good Ramen bowl, onion ginger pork broth it was great“

“people working were very professional the place was clean. the food was hot and good.“

“If you’re craving a taste of the islands, Ohana BBQ is the place to go! This Hawaiian barbecue gem delivers an explosion of flavors that transport you straight to a sunny beach in Hawaii. From the moment you walk in, the laid-back, aloha vibe wraps you in warmth, with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
The menu is a love letter to Hawaiian cuisine. Their kalua pork is an absolute standout—smoky, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with just the right balance of savory and subtle sweetness. Pair it with a side of creamy mac salad, and you’ve got a plate lunch that hits all the right spots. The teriyaki chicken is another winner, perfectly grilled with a glossy, caramelized sauce that’s equal parts tangy and sweet. Don’t sleep on the gyozas either.
What sets this place apart is the attention to detail. The portions are generous, the rice is always perfectly sticky, and every dish feels like it’s made with love. The tropical decor and island music playing softly in the background add to the experience, making it feel like a mini-vacation with every visit. Plus, the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity you get.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Ghana BBQ is a must-visit for authentic Hawaiian barbecue that leaves you full, happy, and already planning your next trip back. Mahalo for the ono grinds!“
