Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue: Reviews & Ratings
Hole in the wall. Not sure why I haven’t came across here yet, but this place is pretty home style cooked food. I like the katsu.
Just happened upon this place while planning to check out a movie with the younger sibling. He picked it out and I'm so glad he did. It's unassuming and very casual, but it's so worth the trip. I loved the beef combo and the barbecue chicken as well. The rice was cooked perfectly the first time, but for some reason my second visit it was slightly less exceptional, but still good. The macaroni salad always makes me sad I don't get more than one scoop. Next time I might see if I can substitute a scoop of rice for an extra mac salad scoop. Give it a shot! I'll definitely be back again and again.
The food was delicious! It was well portioned and the meat was perfectly tender :) The lady at the front is also always super friendly and accommodating to customers. The spam musubi is a must for anyone who comes!!
Made us feel like we were back in Hawaii. Great food, fast service, friendly staff made some suggestions based on questions we had. Very affordable and love that they have Aloha Maid drinks which are hard to find.
Oh. My. Goodness. I was craving chicken Katsu and typically I cook myself, but wanted to take a break from cooking and searched up Hawaiian BBQ on my way home from work. Shockingly it’s right next to my apartment - I’ve lived here for 3 years and pass by everyday not knowing this literally gem is hiding in plain site. They cooked everything fresh and I ordered the combo with chicken Katsu and BBQ beef which comes with rice and Mac salad. Right off the bat the breading on the chicken Katsu is PERFECTION. The chicken is moist and fresh. The beef I thin and cooked incredible. The flavor is mouth watering. Rice is sticky just how I like it. The Mac was perfect mild flavor that isn’t overpowering like some can be. Now the sauces just give the dish that elevation that exceeds it all. I love all three. Katsu sauce is perfect sweetness and flavorful. To die for. The Sweet and Spicy took the show paring with the beef wow! The og sauce is perfect too. Overall I am fighting to not clear the whole plate but my stomach is going to explode! 1000000/10 worth it.
This is a very small hole in the wall Hawaiian style food place and it was verrryyyy good! I got chicken katsu with brown gravy my husband got the super loco moco that came with the burger patties and spam! These plates are well worth the money. I’ll have plenty for dinner tonight! This place is a deff must and as local to Hawaii as you will get. We lived in Hawaii for 7 years and even the L&L by us doesn’t compare to Hawaii.
What an overall great experience! I got the Chicken Katsu and BBQ Chicken plate with Rice and Mac Salad. The Katsu was perfectly breaded and BBQ was perfectly seasoned, cooked, and tender. Mac salad was incredible. I read previous reviews that they wish they would’ve got more than one scoop so I opted to. Only .50 more to sub a scoop of rice for Mac salad. It was totally worth it! What an amazing place with super nice staff! Will definitely be back and bringing friends and family (Also the sauces I tried were the Katsu and Aloha sauce. They were phenomenal as well!)
So I'm not big on sweet meats .. was delightfully surprised!! My food was so yummy. The smell alone was rich!! So good, very much will be a repeat customer here. They put their foot in that brown gravy that topped my meat patties. The chicken was tender n moist. The steak slices were perfectly cooked and sliced just right. Was not busy at all for Saturday lunch stop.
