Touch of Aloha Local Kine Grindz

I found this family owned restaurant through Unilocal when I was craving Hawaiian style food a while back.
I order my Pokè bowls here weekly for the past couple months already and it never stops to amaze me. For decent price compared to other restaurants you get a lot of rice and huge portion of ahi!
I usually order spicy mayo Pokè bowl and it has so much flavor. It comes in a nice foam bowl and the presentation looks beautiful. I really love the avocado on top.
I also sampled their other foods such as the pork hash, the Manapua and bento box. All were amazing and they are very very generous with amount of food they give. They have specials once in awhile and I tried their spicy mayo fries.
Recently they have a new dessert and it’s like an icy ice cream form. I had their banana strawberry one and it was the best way to finish my meal.
Staff are really friendly and special thanks to big Kev for great customer service! I really enjoyed the Hawaiian style music they play inside and cleanliness they maintain every time I come visit.
Thank you!

Been at Touch of Aloha a few times, their food is delicious and price is reasonable. Great pork hash, chow Funn, Manapua and delicious poke.
The owners are very friendly.

I’m gonna give this place a ²⁄₅ because…
1). The cashier was not very friendly. Kevin maybe??? It was my first time here and he wasn’t very helpful either.
2). Manapua is a 20 minute wait. (Great to be fresh but who really has the time to sit in a small space that is packed with other diners?
3). Bento was HUGE! Not bad of a price considering how much food was included. The porkhash was DELICIOUS! The chow fun was alright, the mochiko chicken was actually pretty tasty but the teri beef was not all that great!
4). Not such a nice area.
5). Small restaurant.
6). No convenient parking!
Will probably not visit this place again unless I’m for some reason dying to eat porkhash!

Found a little hidden gem in north Las Vegas. If you’re from Oahu, this place is kind of reminiscent of Harry’s (which is now closed). Reminds me of home! Also, they have poke and poke bowls!!!

We went to Touch of Aloha because of the great Unilocal reviews… first of all it is in an industrial area… no parking, only street parking. There is only seating for about 12 people in the place.
Best thing there we tried was the mochiko chicken. The piece are cut small I presume to cook faster. Tasty but a little dry because the pieces are cut small before frying.
The chowfun seemed old. Little slimey (more than usual)… likewise with the char-​siu in the chowfun. I taste freezer burn. Not exactly what you would get from Oahu…
The manapua ($ 2.50 ea) was very fluffy, and not that much filling. Usually the bread is a little more dense, and I expect a little more filling.
The porkhash ($ 1 ea) was also fluffy. I suspect they use too much egg or filler, but the filling just seems to «fluffy». If I didn’t pay a dollar each, I don’t think I would have continued to eat them.
Also a little miffed about the $ 0.50 charge for use of credit card. Little bit too pake if you ask me.
Overall for what you get the prices are high… there are better places in Vegas for Hawaii food.

I was so excited to find a place in Vegas that serves pork hash! Therefore, I really want to like this place… Because I love supporting local businesses, but no matter how much I want to love it, it has failed me.
Let’s just say everything is either too sweet or too salty. Everything looks so yummy on their Facebook page, so I decided to make the drive up north to get some legit Hawaiian food. Oh! Make sure you call ahead before you head that way, so you don’t waste your time driving there, order then wait another 30 minutes for them to prep the food (yes, everything is made to order). I called ahead, got there in 30 minutes, and my food was not ready lol just be patient. It took me another 30 minutes to get home. So I dug into my food… Needless to say, I was disappointed pork hash was huge but salty. Mochiko chicken batter was too sweet for me, Teri beef sauce was extremely sweet to the point that I couldn’t eat it and the Teri sauce soaked rice was just too much. I obviously didn’t finish my bento box. What a waste… The only great thing was the fried rice, still salty, but great portion.
If I am ever up north again, I’d still give it a shot, as there’s other items on the menu I’d like to try. I am not giving up on this place just yet… Stay tuned!

Food was absolutely amazing. The only downside is that they don’t have fountain drinks, and the food takes a while… But that’s only because it’s made fresh when you order it. So good… So. So. Good.

Saw this restaurant pop up on my feed on facebook thanks to Aloha Shoyu :) This restaurant is off Losee street I-​15. It’s street parking only in a industrial area fyi. This place is highly known for their PORK HASH. And so far this is THE ONLY restaurant that makes and sells pork hash in Vegas. Their pork hash sells .99 cents each and the size of the thing is twice as big as the pork hash made back home in Hawaii nei…
Once my wife and I got to the restaurant, we were greeted by a courteous cashier. We told her it was our first time to the place and we both got a compliment pork hash to eat and to see the pork hash. It was juicy and well cooked. I’ve seen the undercook reviews but the ones I received today was well made.
Their spicy ahi wonton nachos was very delicious and comes in a big portion. You will not be disappointed. Also, if you’re not a patient person I high suggest you call or you can Facebook their web page and place your order so you won’t be waiting. They make their food as soon as your order and to maintain a fresh dish. So call in advance.
For this restaurant to be only opened for 3 months, I will definitely come back to this restaurant again.

Great location for me close to da hale close to my gym. Onolicious broke da mout grindz, good people, just like home!

Touch of Aloha is located right off I15 on Losee. When looking for the best of Hawaiian food-​I will go out of my way. Yes, this is the best, and definitely makes one feel like they r back home. The pork hash is to die for, and so is the manapua! I like to order all side orders, so I can taste everything. Mochiko chicken, shoyu chicken, teri chicken, Kalbi r all Ono! The staff r friendly, and have the Aloha spirit!
If you like the best, you don’t mind paying for it. Thank you Touch of Aloha, for bringing the nostalgic feeling and a piece of your Aloha to Vegas!

Parking is street parking. Friendly staff.
To me, and again, this is just my taste palate opinion, the food was okay.
At first glance of the shoyu chicken I thought it was going to be super salty. The color was dark and I immediately thought salt over load. When I took a bite, to my surprise it wasn’t salty at all. It was a perfect combination of salt with a hint of sweetness. The chicken was slightly dry.
Pork hash, I was very hesitant to try only because of prior pictures of undercooked ones. But I gave it a shot and the flavor and texture was ok/​good to me.
Manapua, same deal. It was ok/​good.
Then dessert. I pre ordered a dozen of their Chantilly Crunch Tart made by Ono Sweetz 702. I was super excited to try this because I LOVE Chantilly frosting especially Chantilly cakes from Hawaii. When I took a bite, I was disappointed. To me it didn’t taste like Chantilly at all. I feel like the price of a dozen is too much for this mediocre dessert. Now, I’ve only tried their Chantilly Tart and wasn’t impressed. I’m sure the other Flavors are good if not better. I feel like they should sell it ½ dozens and I frankly don’t understand why if you get a dozen of a mixed variety it will cost you $ 18 vs $ 15. Makes no sense to me but whatevs.
So with all that being said, will I be back? Possibly to try other things off their menu.
If you want manapua or pork hash, you should call those in in advance.
Happy Eatings!

Onolicious!!! I finally found DA BEST LOCAL KINE GRIND food Here in LAS VEGAS.
The employees here are from Hawaii, there is a lot of parking in front, atmosphere is clean and comfortable with Hawaiian music playing.
Everything is literally Freshly made so just to let you folks know your order will take awhile because obviously it’s fresh which means they’re cooking your food! Just SiT BACK and RELAX! It gets busy in here so Stop being a bunch of cry babies and just chill.
The portions that they serve here is perfect, if you can’t finish it all that’s okay just take em for to go at no additional cost and if you don’t want to take anything home just share with your friend or family member they not going scold you like how other restaurants do in Las Vegas. Some restaurants in Las Vegas I swear are unreal I tell you.
When you eat here at TOUCH Of ALOHA you will notice that the employees here work together as a team and really make you feel welcomed. The owner here is very nice, honest and humble. MAHALO for providing great service.
After I ate one pork hash and two manapuas before leaving I ordered TEN pork hash and TWO more manapuas!!! The food that they serve here is BROKE DA MOUTH KiNE. I highly recommend everyone to give this place a try. I am absolutely happy with my experience here. Will be back to try everything on the menu!

A small hole in the wall place. Locally owned by people from Hawaii. Best thing about this place is everything is fresh and ono-​licious. I recommend this place to everyone. Jus remember don’t drive to fast or you will miss it. Will be back soon to try one other stuff

This is great hole-​in-​the-​wall place. The service was friendly, quick and patient with all of my questions.
The seating area is small and outdated but clean. There aren’t too many tables in here but luckily we were the only ones in there at the time.
The food is pretty good with generous portions. It’s also pretty affordable for what you get.
I will definitely be going back!

Today’s four stars is because the fried rice with choice of egg was a wonderful choice for breakfast. Had all the meat favorites bacon, Portuguese sausage and spam. Good portion as well. Had a laugh also having breakfast with co-​owner Violeta.

We were at Jamba Juice when I plugged this spot to my husband once again. I had mention to him about this place about 3x. He looks at me with enthusiasm and said, yeah sure let’s check it out. For some reason, I ended up saying, nah… nevermind…maybe next time. Twas a sign!
Welp, off we went anyway. If you map it, it truely isn’t a hard place to find. I don’t care what anyone says about street parking, looking sketchy, being in an industrial area… Touch of Aloha is giving you a Touch of Aloha by the location alone. If you are from the 808, you should be well-​acquainted with hole in the wall, janky, old rundown, type of eateries. But if you aren’t, then I can understand why you would think this place isn’t up to your standard. Although it’s street parking, we were able to park on the street… right infront of the establishment.
We ordered 2 pork hash @99cents each, chow
, a spam
and
.
I didn’t notice him in there for too long because I didn’t start to wonder. We all have that internal clock. Lol. He comes out with our order and since the babies were asleep, I opened our orders up in excitement to take a peak. Another sign.
The first thing I opened was the pork hash. The pork hash is noticeably larger than the kind you’ll find in an 808 7 – 11 or something, heck… I think it’s bigger than the manapua man’s pork hash. Okay, but… if you aren’t a cook yourself, or are familiar with this dish… you may not notice if it is thoroughly cooked! I took one look at it and completely knew it wasnt, told my husband to cut into the pork hash, and sure enough… twas undercooked.
The husband goes back in to let them know. During this time, I decide to start biting into the spam musubi. I have never in my life had a spam musubi that tasted like it was still in the can. Spam comes package in a can, I get it. But if there’s one thing I dislike about canned food, is that it taste like a can. Which is why I personally don’t like eating canned food.
I don’t know what it was about the spam in this musubi in particular exactly. Was it old? Was it sliced from the can and quickly slapped onto the pan but not having it on there long enough to cook off that «can» flavor? Was the knife used to slice it still dirty? Pan? Cutting board? It was such a huge disappointment. I love they had the furikake in there, but I couldn’t get passed the spam. Not to mention the musubi wasn’t even wrapped properly. No excuse for a popular 808 staple. That’s basic right there
Husband comes out with a manapua. He said they were super apologetic about the undercooked pork hash and are working on it. Cool, manapua! Husband goes in, comes back out, this time with a can of hawaiian sun’s passion orange. I’m looking at him laughing like, why the heck everytime you walk-​in you then walk-​out with something? They were seriously apologetic so twas another peace offering.
We both absolutely appreciated their hospitality and service because of the mishap. Even more so because by the time the hubs come out with his new batch of pork hash, they gave him 5pcs vs the 2 as we originally ordered. I thought that was a very nice gesture between the manapua, free drink, and the extra pork hash. My husband said the guy working there was really nice and because of their efforts to makeup for the pork hash, is why I’m giving them 3 stars. The extra star is for service.
2 stars for the food. I always feel bad giving low ratings especially to local stops, even more local because they’re from Hawaii, but the food in all was nothing special. I wasn’t enthusiastic about any of it. The manapua itself didn’t have much flavor, although twas warm, the bottom. of the manapua was dry and on the verge of being stale. That got abandoned.
What I do appreciate is you can’t really find pork hash and manapua around the valley, especially if you need some Hawaii nostalgia. So having them around may do it for such folks. I mean you caAAan, but you cant. I feel the same about the chow fun. The char siu in the chow fun did not even look appetizing. I felt like the chow fun just needed a couple more minutes of being stir fried. But that’s just me. That got abandoned too.
They’ve only been open since Feb.18 so of course they’ll need time to adjust. It just fell super short to us. I’m seriously having a bad taste of pork in my mouth today between the spam, undercooked pork hash, and the char siu from the chow fun that I’m currently scarred. I don’t think we will ever return especially with having other hawaiian spots closer to our proximity.
Give them a shot because one person’s failed experience does not dictate what another person will experience. As I always say, doesn’t hurt to try. Just make sure your food is cooked!
Don’t know if they have highchairs, but it does look like they are stroller friendly!

I really did have high hopes for this restaurant. I was craving manapua and pork hash so decided to make my way over to satisfy my craving. We ordered manapua, pork hash, and the Kalbi ribs plate.
They make their manapua and pork hash fresh so it takes a little longer. Unfortunately the manapua didn’t have much taste so I moved on to my pork hash. I ate one and noticed the texture was different and it was falling apart easily. It wasn’t until I was half way through my second one that I looked at what I was eating and noticed it was RAW! I ate raw pork! I was disgusted! Luckily I didn’t get sick… at least not yet. Moving on to the Kalbi ribs — it wasn’t anything to go back for.
Like I said, I really wanted to love this restaurant, but unfortunately I was deeply disappointed.

So to support our local small businesses we decided to give this new Hawaiian Restaurant a shot.
We try not to judge a book by its cover. Its not in the best location and there is no parking lot so street parking it is.
Inside this small establishment was quite unexpected. Cracked ceiling tiles to the faded green seats and sticky tables. It also greeted us with dirty carpet throughout the dining area.
We walked in and decided on what to eat.
I had the Loco Moco. It was ok. Maybe im spoiled from the other Hawaiian restaurants but the patty was dry and had no flavor. The gravy was ok. Not as flavor full as I had hoped. Over-​medium egg… who screws that up? But thats all it was. Rice, Patty, Gravy & Egg. Where is the Mac Salad? For the price I paid I thought it wouldve came with it.
My wife ordered the Bento Box. Which included Teri Beef, Mochiko Chicken, Hot Dog, Pork Hash (1pc) & Chow Fun.
Teri Beef — The beef tasted raw but the teri sauce was trying to hide most of its flavor. Ate 2 of the 4 pieces.
Mochiko Chicken — It was good. Dry but good.
Hot Dog — Not a Redondo but it was a beef hot dog.
Pork Hash — It was good. The meat was dry also. And not a flavorful like the ones you can get at Chinese Restaurants.
Chow Fun — Stir fried with veggies. This was the best thing in the bento box.
As I sit here in the restaurant writing this review the lady placed other peoples order on our table and walks away…
If you want overpriced mediocre Hawaiian food then come try it. But I’ll guarantee you’ll be better off somewhere else.
Good Luck to this business.

For starters, their location is in a bit of a sketchy area. No parking lot so be prepared to find parking along the sidewalks. My boyfriend and I walked in really confused, unsure if we were walking in the right door or not, but by the kukui nut leis hanging on the wall, we assumed we were at the right place.
The inside is very small and doesn’t provide a lot of seating. – I think only 12 seats to be exact? And the place looks pretty run down. Décor and furniture is very outdated. But I’m not one to judge a book by its over, especially when it comes to food, so I thought ‘who cares’.
The menu offers a great variety; bento boxes, plate lunches, sushi, manapua, and pork hash. I ordered a lau lau plate lunch $ 7.99, a kalbi plate lunch 9.95, 3 spam musubis 2.50/each, 2 manapuas 2.50/each, 6 pork hash $ 0.99/each, and 2 bottled drinks $ 1.50/each.
I thought the lau lau was good. I don’t have anything bad to say about it. My boyfriend thought the kalbi was just alright. The musubis, manapuas, and pork hash were all good too, but kind of pricey in my opinion. More-​so the pork hash.
I’ll be returning for sure. Definitely to try out their other dishes, and mostly because idk where else I can buy manapuas and pork hash lol.
