McKinney has a new plate-lunch player on the way: Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Construction is already in progress at 4610 W. University Drive, Suite 110, and the company currently lists the opening date as TBD. The California-born chain is bringing its plate-lunch classics and musubi to North Texas as part of a broader regional rollout.
What They'll Serve
The menu centers on the Aloha Plate, a one- or two-entree combo served with steamed rice and a side salad, along with proteins such as Hawaiian BBQ chicken, Hawaiian BBQ beef, kalua pork, chicken katsu and island white fish, according to Ono Hawaiian BBQ. The chain also lists Spam musubi, family meals and shareable sides built for pickup or group orders. Those options are staples at other Ono locations and are expected at the McKinney storefront.
Ono's Texas Push
The McKinney restaurant is one of roughly 10 new Ono locations planned across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, as reported by RestaurantNews. Trade coverage and company announcements say the rollout will reach Plano, Dallas, Carrollton, Rowlett and other suburbs, with openings targeted for early to mid-2026. The Texas expansion marks a major growth milestone for Ono, which was founded in 2002 and now operates more than 100 locations on the West Coast.
Where It Will Sit
Local reporting has shared construction photos and lists the McKinney address as 4610 W. University Drive, Suite 110, confirming the strip-center setting. According to Community Impact, the site remains under buildout and an official opening date has not been announced. McKinney residents can expect the standard fast-casual layout and plate-lunch service when the restaurant opens.
When To Expect An Opening
Ono’s official locations page already tags the McKinney storefront as “Coming Soon,” and the company is steering fans to its website and social channels for grand-opening details. For now, both company listings and local coverage keep the timeline open while crews finish the build-out and the wider DFW rollout continues into 2026.
