Aloha Hawaiian Bbq

I went to Hawaii once before and I really like the Hawaiian food. This restaurant reminds me the great memories in Hawaii and their food is great. The cashiered are friendly as well. You would love this place when you get to know it. (PS: my recommendation for the food is the Loco Moco) hope this would help :)

Good food. may be I was hungry. Hardly go to north side. Just like north side of honolulu Hawaii. Finished service there. Give them a try not bad a all. I will come by next time around there.
Food good. service good.aloha spirit.
Whats up braddah!

We went to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ for lunch on Sunday. We had the Chicken Cutlet. The Gravy was ONO. The BBQ Mix plate. The BBQ Chicken. BBQ bowl and spam musubi. Have to say it was delicious. Why can I say that… When we go the food there was no noise from us we were too busy eating. Fast service and good food. Very good we will come back soon.

Horrible customer service experience. Female cashier with the scowl face is extremely rude. I wish it was possible to eat the food then poop it out and leave it on her doorstep.
Ps. While waiting for my order, I almost stopped myself from posting this but now she’s walking around the dining room and kitchen coughing wildly with her mouth uncovered.

Unless you live in the area, I wouldn’t really recommend coming here. As soon as you walk in, there is a strong sewer-​like smell that permeates the entire restaurant. Everything is a little shabby, and the workers are Chinese and Mexican rather than local people from Hawaii (not discriminating, but the difference is apparent because nobody smiles at you).
Food is pretty standard. I had a bbq mixed plate with kalbi, shrimp and beef. Nothing terrible but nothing to write home about. The appearance of the restaurant makes me question the cleanliness of the kitchen, but let’s not think about that!
Bottom line: if there’s another Hawaiian food place near you, I would definitely go there instead. This place needs someone with aloha to bring it back to life.

Went here to pick up a quick lunch. It was easy to find right off of Craig and Decatur in a strip mall. The place is clean and well kept. The girl at the counter that took our order was friendly and efficient.
We got the BBQ Mixed Plate and Chicken Katsu Plate to go. The food was plentiful and tasty, However, I found the teriyaki beef to be quite salty and unusually garlicky. The BBQ chicken and kalbi (Korean ribs) that is also part of the BBQ mix, were good. The Katsu was also good.
This is as good as you can expect for the price. So if you’re craving some local Hawaiian grinds, this ain’t a bad place to go. Mahalo.

My all time favorite place to go when I crave for local grindz

I like the BBQ mix .I t is delicious. I go there several times. I like their
Hawaiian food. And have deliverly order.

I love this place, best hawaiian food.
The chicken katsu, the loco moco are grate, and they have really good spam musubis I recommend this place!!!

I have lived near and gone to this place for just over 6 years now. The quality has fluctuated as have the staff, but they have been ‘good enough’ and the close proximity has made it a place I visit frequently. Today was the final straw for me. The quality of the chicken cutlet with gravy was terrible. It was like burnt chicken jerky (any cook willing to serve that cant be trusted). A side of Mac was ordered but instead of a extra side for my kid they just put the Mac from my meal on the side (lost in translation I guess). The steady decline in customer service but more importantly food quality means I now drive to Decatur and 215 to the Hawaiian place by Walmart.
If your going to go here you might get lucky but I would recommend going elsewhere.
Thanks,
Nick

Been eating here for several years now. Not that it was fantastic food, more because L&L is a few more miles down the road in centennial.
Lately, their quality of food and service have gone significantly down. I was born and raised in hawaii and i know authentic hawaiian bbq. The owner has hired mexicans to work the register and cook to save a few bucks. How on earth does a mexican know about hawaiian food? I would never call myself an excellent authentic mexican cook if i never spent a lifetime experiencing their culture. But then, i looked at the owner and he is a «FOB» (FRESH OFF THE BOAT) asian that probably has no idea what true hawaiian culture is anyway.
Long story short, because the mexican help had trouble with my order they screwed up on it. I’m not saying that she did it on purpose, what i’m saying is the message got lost in translation. However their service recovery sucked ass and implied the error was by the consumer. Same thing with the manager, and especially with the fob owner. Simple math could have solved the problem.
The food isn’t bad, but the customer should never feel cheated after attempting a resolution. Drive the extra couple of miles to L&L in centennial, you will thank me later.
One last thing, if you were the fob owner, why would you really hire mexicans at your hawaiian bbq? The only answer i can think of is to save money. His chicken katsu is smaller, his mahi plates are smaller in portions. It is reasonable to believe, he is dying financially and is on survival mode. Good luck to renewing your lease and spending all your life savings.

I and my friend are here yesterday. I have the combo A BBQ mix is very good and my friend he have the loco moco is very good also. And the team was great

My family are here this Sunday. We always try to looking for a good Hawaiian plate. Here we came to the right place. I has the Oxtail soup is terrific and my wife has the BBQ mix share with my son is the best. My daughter she has the chicken Katsu is the bomb. This the place I recommend for everyone come here to try the best Hawaiian food.

Great food! Since we moved a couple of years ago, I’ve been looking for Hawaiian BBQ near by, that won’t break the bank and yet be satisfying and this place fits the bill. Service was pretty good, but the food was over all very good. Only downside was the BBQ beef I had with my mix plate. Extremely salty. Terriyaki chicken and Kalbi ribs were really good and I love their Macaroni salad. Thank you for a good option close to home.

I have been wanting Aloha for awhile so I finally came and I must say I should have went elsewhere. The cashier has zero personality and is rude. Its the little things that matter, a smile, a simple how are you?, or maybe not throwing my credit card on the counter. I’m hoping my food is better than her attitude –_–

Rudiest act ever…
This place was dead wh n I got there.
I ordered my plate and sat down at a table…
I waited 10 minutes, not bad. But the entire team me the helper lady stood around and talked to the cook. I got my plate, then she started mopping the floors. I didn’t really mind it, cuz I thought she would have it in her mind not to come close to me, due to I was eating. No… She made her way towards me and actually started mopping at the foot of my chair… So I told her to please stop cuz I’m trying to eat and all I could taste was dirty pinesol mop in my mouth… She did say sorry and stopped but then left the bucket full of mud water behind me… Smfh…

We’ve been coming here for years and this was the worst order ever. We always order the same thing, the fried shrimp, mahi and chicken katsu combo plate, the fried shrimp, mahi BBQ chicken combo plate, beef fried saimin, spam saimin, BBQ chicken plate and a chicken katsu plate. Sometimes they’re good others they’re ok. Today everything was bad. It seems as if they’re cutting costs by slicing the chicken and mahi length wise in half so it looks like the same amount but just much thinner. Nothing had taste even the saimin was watered down and half the amount of noodles. The fried saimin was half veggies half noodles with about 4 small pieces of beef. The BBQ chicken was thin and wasn’t marinated enough so there was no taste. The chicken katsu was thin and overly fried it was like jerky. The katsu in my combo looked like left overs they cut and refried and the mahi was so thin it shriveled up into a curly q. I called them to tell them at the very least replace the katsu which was obviously refried so they told me to bring it back. Needless to say I brought back just the katsu and I told them how the mahi was and the cook showed me how the other pre-​battered frozen pieces looked. The other cook gave me dirty looks and the two of them including the cashier was all talking Spanish which shows no ALOHA despite their name.

Brought my mom to this place. Our first time here and my mom is new trying Hawaiian food. Awesome food, great quantity and quality. And it’s open! A few other places are not open Monday’s which sucks lol. I’m definitely becoming a regular :)

I’ve been here a few times and the food is okay. I tried the oxtail soup the last time I was there and it was very good. I gave the place 3 stars because the lady that works there, each time I have been there is VERY rude.

I’ve been on a massive Loco Moco kick the last couple months, and find myself constantly craving it. I work right by this Aloha location and with really no other places in the area, I’ve stopped here a couple times after work to somewhat satisfy my craving. One of my least favorite things about this place is the feel of it. It’s not necessarily dirty, but it’s definitely run down, and looks like the staff gives it very little attention. I realize it’s more or less of a fast food joint, but at least try to make it look inviting so people will want to eat here.
The staff is another downer for Aloha. Each time I’ve been in here, everyone just looks miserable. There’s really no smiles or welcomes, and if you ask them questions, it’s like you’re pulling teeth. They’ve also got a cook in the back who always seem to be screwing off and messing with the other staff. Maybe he owns the place, I don’t know, but he kind of just seems to do whatever he wants.
Obviously you aren’t going to come here for 5 star service, so let’s talk about the food. While I’m not an expert on Hawaiin food by any means, I think this place is ok and has a couple decent things to offer. My craving for loco mock isn’t completely satisfied, but their version holds me over pretty well. I like that their hamburger patty appears to be hand made and has a decent seasoning on it’s own. It’s tender, not dry at all and their gravy isn’t bad either. Besides being a little on the watery said, it has solid flavor and isn’t overly salty. The rice they use is as plain jane as it comes, but they at least cook the egg right, and it makes for an overall tasty plate of food. And their portions are huge! Their «Mini» is only $ 6.15 and is plenty for me. If you’re super hungry, try their «Regular» for only $ 8.15 and if you finish it, you’ll probably be sickly full.
Both my son and I enjoy the spam musubi as well. It’s got a slightly sweet sauce that pairs well with the salty spam, and for only $ 2.15 you get a nice size piece that is perfect for a little snack or side. Since their macaroni salad is extremely salty and has a strong mayo taste, I’d ask if they can just uncharge and swap it out for spam musubi instead on my next visit though.
There are a couple things I wouldn’t recommend trying, but these are probably givens being that it’s basically fast food. Their fried mahi-​mahi is pretty bad, and even my 6 year old, who loves almost all seafood, just couldn’t eat it. He did like the fried shrimp however, which wasn’t nearly as bad, but probably not something I’d order again for myself.
For what Aloha Hawaiin BBQ is, I don’t think it’s bad, but it’s not great. The loco moco alone is decent enough for me to come back when I get the craving and I’m nearby, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. Overall, it’s «A-​OK»!

Ono comfort food and quick delivery service. Love that their hamburger patties are home-​made but the LauLau could use some work. Other than that though, the fam loves this place!

They are a 5 minute drive from my office and every item I’ve ordered has been great.
Hands down the BEST Hawaiian burger I’ve ever had.
Love how quick their service is

Lady behind the counter was extremely rude, walked in with two friends, the only other two people in the place besides the workers were already eating their food. Not once did this lady smile, she actually had a scowl on her face. The iced tea was out and she explained she was too busy to change it out. They only changed it out when we asked for a refund. It took over 30 minutes to receive our order and when we asked for an extra hot sauce, she bellowed NO!

We went to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ for dinner to go. My husband wanted the Short Ribs. Despite 2 cooks in the kitchen, they were super slow waited 25 mins for one plate to go. This review loses one star for length of time for food to be done. I will call the order in next time. My husband loves the food from here as he had eaten here before. It was my 1^st time. Cute restaurant with seating to eat in. Unique décor: Huge Aloha shirt on the wall with Hawaiian photographs. This restaurant is on the corner of Decatur and Craig. This is good Hawaiian good plate lunch style!

I’ve been here a few times and this place is just not that good. If you’re looking for authentic Hawaiian food, this will definitely be a disappointment.
First, the staff aren’t really attentive or helpful. They kind of just take your order. No personality and not very welcoming.
For foods, the chicken Katsu that I’ve ordered a few times had a very bland taste to it. The outer coating was more soggy then anything. The sauce for the Katsu had a different taste to what I’m used to. It has a very watery texture to it. It comes with Mac salad which taste like pure mayonnaise and on the salty side.
You probably wonder why I’ve ate here a «few» times like i mentioned in the beginning if I didn’t like it. Well, the beau kinda likes this place and it’s pretty close to his house so it’s convenient when we need something quick and close by.
But def not my «to go» Hawaiian joint.

For it not being busy and phone ordered. It still took a while. No more then 10 people in here and the cooks seem to be panicking. Food taste good but the wait was not worth it… SMH NOT TO MENTION THEY GOT MY ORDER WRONG. I got home craving some Kalua Pig n BBQ chicken. I got a Lau Lau plate instead. I should of double checked!

Oxtail soup not good. Meat is not fresh and the korean guy in the cashier need to get fired he doesn’t know what the hell he doing I order to dine inn and he came out to wrano my food to go the same as the customer ahead of me and he take lots of smoke break. Not coming back.

Stopped by for a meal, couple musubis and some Thai Tea. The service here is terrible. The lady at the counter is very rude and is very unwelcoming. She has no patience and also doesn’t explain things well. The musubis were below average. They weren’t even served to me hot and the rice and seaweed were hard. Also I realized there was no sauce in my musubi after it fell apart while I was eating it which explains the lack of flavor I noticed while eating them. The Thai tea was okay. It tasted funny and reminded me of the cheap ones you could buy in the small glass bottles.

Not the best in Vegas but pretty good. They deliver too and that’s awesome, especially if you lazy. Love their hamburger steak and musubis!

We took our three kids on a road trip during summer. It was difficult to find a restaurant that provides good food, good service with reasonable price. This was the only restaurant that satisfied our taste bud but didn’t cost us a fortune. You can see the price from the menu that other people posted here. The restaurant was not fancy, but clean and comfortable. We ordered the Teriyaki Chicken, Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, BBQ Short Ribs and few other items. I definitely agree with other reviewers that the sauce was delicious, and the portion was good too. During the time we were eating there, we saw quite a few group of people came in to pickup their to-​go orders. If this restaurant was near our home, I might have ditched my kitchen already. :)

I don’t get it. I really don’t …
Big portions don’t mean it’s good food. But, my family, who lives there in Las Vegas tends to think so. I guess if you pour enough shoyu or chili pepper water on something, you can’t taste how bland something is. And that’s what I thought about the food my family picked up for a small gathering at my mom’s house.
Chicken katsu, fried noodles and teriyaki. Lots of food — gotta give them that. But it stops there. Katsu was not crispy on the outside or moist on the inside. Damp is the word that comes to mind. Teriyaki was overdone. Looked ok at first glance but at first bite, overcooked. Fried noodles was ok. Frying noodles is hard to mess up, like cooking rice. For my taste though, the noodles could have used a little more salt and or shoyu.
To each their own — some may like it because they don’t know any better. Others may like it because it’s all they can get now. Me, I don’t and won’t settle because I can and will just fly home if I want to have authentic, Hawaiian BBQ.
