The sodium is the story

At 2,987 mg, the plate protein alone clears the 2,300 mg daily limit. Add the standard sides and a full plate runs roughly 3,490 mg; the Family Meal (serves 4) hits 4,481 mg. If you track one number at Ono, track sodium here. It's more than double Hawaiian BBQ Chicken (1,260 mg) at similar calories.

The rest of the macros hold up

Set the sodium aside and the rest is fine: 548 cal for 51g protein, about 9g per 100 calories, on par with BBQ Beef. The Mini Meal (274 cal / 26g) halves everything, sodium included (1,494 mg). Still high, but the smallest portion offered.

How to cut it down

No side swap touches the 2,987 mg baked into the protein. Portion is the only lever: the Mini Meal or the Aloha pick-one, both 274 cal / 1,494 mg. If sodium is the priority, Hawaiian BBQ Chicken or Grilled Chicken Breast get you similar protein for far less salt.
