    One of the best meals we had in Waikīkī! It was so good that we went back twice. The whole family loved the tasty chicken. It was crispy with a light sauce that had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. We also loved the oxtail. The tangy dipping sauce it came with was delicious, and the broth was packed with flavor. Great portions, especially the tasty chicken. Everyone and their mama was ordering and taking home the lemon crunch cake, so of course we had to try it. It was delicious! My sons also ordered the furikake ahi and the burger, but they preferred the oxtail and the chicken. Service was A++.

    I come here every time we vacation in Oahu. It's the true local Hawaiian food experience. The tasty chicken, kalbi and oxtail soup is a must order. No exceptions. The lemon crunch cake if you have room. Unfortunately, the oxtail was very fatty this time.

    Braised pork was tender with lots of gravy along with brown rice and macaroni salad in a separate container. The loco moco had an excellent char on the burger and nice rice and gravy mix with the egg. Food is solid and service is good. Suggestion that the take out section (left side) be clearly marked as it may seem like you can just order, pay and sit down wherever you want. Only the tables near the bowling area have signs that say reserved for sit down guests. The sit down side could have a host at the front rather than depending on whichever server is available. If all servers are busy, it makes it appear that no one is there to seat you at all.

    I am reviewing based on their food ordered to-go. I was so pleasantly surprised by the tasty chicken. I love sweet & savory sauces for fried chicken, so the tasty chicken was right up my alley (no pun intended). The cakes were also delicious. The lemon crunch cake was certainly a treat.

    I always love aiea bowl the bowling, the food,and the deserts I always get the pumpkin crunch before I leave it's so good, the Oxtail soup so Ono And I also like the shoyu porkit's a great place to take the family to eat the staff is awesome sometimes it's busy but it's worth it I used to buy takeout from there before I go home after work at the prison cause it's right down the road

    OXTAIL SOUP! Located in the bowling alley, so it will be noisy. But it's great for large groups since they have the space but it is busy. To be forewarned! You obviously know what I order when I come here. But it's not the only thing that's good here. Their chicken and mix plates are good too. But oxtail soup is my choice, it's a good portion and comforting! They also serve it with a sweet savory sesame sauce. So you can dip your oxtail into it for some added flavor. I also like their lemon crunch cake. The cake is light and fluffy and the toffee pieces give it a good crunch.

    Strawberry Crunch Cake...oh so ono!

    The Alley Restaurant is always our go-to when we find ourselves on Oahu. Everything we have ever had has been wonderful! So much flavor and tastiness inside this hidden gem. If you find yourself hungry while bowling, or if you just want some serious ono grindz, The Alley has got you covered!

    Ox Tail Soup
    Vincent M.

    Service: Took a while for us to get served, but they seemed busy. Ambiance: Located inside of a bowling alley, it's noisy but a cool and casual vibe Food: We came here, solely for the oxtail soup. It offered a distinct and rich flavoring. We got it with Saimin (noodles) for an additional $4.

    Strawberry and lemon crunch cakes
    Ashley Z.

    Only reviewing this based on dessert although I have had their tasty chicken which I would give a 4 star. Back to the crunch cake...the lemon has been their staple and I always come here just to get it. This is the first time I noticed the strawberry one and the lemon one is still better to me. If you want to eat at the restaurant, it is small and the wait is usually long because it's a popular local spot.

    Hard to believe but one of the best meals we had in this bowling alley. The food was really good with huge portions. The oxtail soup and tasty chicken were delicious! HAPPY OXTAILING!!

    Chicken Bowl - sub fried noodles (little extra) worth it!!
    Drizza N.

    Located at the Aiea shopping center- they are level. There's parking on each of the levels.... It's busy. The restaurant has a check-in on the left. Bowling is straight ahead to check in. Usually at least a half an hour wait for seating. Haven't tried anything here that we haven't liked. Tasty Chicken is really good- fried noodles- calamari- waffle fries with gravy- homemade burger- everything is pretty good I really miss the Mama Mia dessert that they had. Stopped after Covid. I wish somebody knew how to make it here.

    2 item combo

    After our flight from LAX to HNL, This was our first stop. It's my first time here and it's been hyped up pretty good by everyone in my party. Kinda reminds me of Gardena Bowl (IYKYK). Got there middle of the day and the staff set up a table for our large party pretty quick. After the long flight, all I wanted was comfort food, so I knew what I was getting, the Loco Moco. The waiter was great and was able to answer our questions and make some good recommendations. The food came out pretty quick and everything was spot on. My Loco Moco - was perfect. The patty was nice and juicy. The eggs were nice and runny. The gravy was perfectly seasoned. Our waiter came back often to check up on us and made sure we were still good. It's located in a stip mall - I can see parking can become an issue depending on the time of day. The food was really good, the service was great. Definitely coming back and trying some of the other items.

    Mixed plate with tasty chicken and boneless kalbi
    Hailley O.

    We came here on a weeknight for dinner and it hit the spot! I like how they offer a variety of items-from pizza, sandwiches, plate lunches and soups. I ordered the mixed plate with the tasty chicken and boneless kalbi, and it was delicious! Both the chicken and kalbi were flavorful and moist. I also tried the fried calamari and garlic fries appetizers, and those were pretty good as well. They have yummy desserts too! We shared the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and enjoyed it. The service was decent, but overall it's a great casual spot for local food. There's something for everyone!

This is a dear former colleague of mine where I saved the date. When I formally received the invitation I saw the venue and asked myself "Where is that?" Oahu Veterans Center (OVC) is a conveniently located venue in the Salt Lake area which has 2 large halls to host gatherings. They are adjacent to ample parking where it was super crowded that day but the grounds were marked to facilitate overflow of cars for those who arrived later. It was my first time here at OVC where I found the venue spacious, clean and the grounds well kept. I initially went to the wrong party as I didn't know there are several halls here. While standing in line I realized it was for a high school graduation party which clearly wasn't the event I was invited to. I made my way to the other hall where I saw a large banner with my friend's name. There's a kitchen that's adjoining to the hall. Food that evening was catered by Guieb Cafe. Our meal was buffet style where the kitchen sure came in handy with food being replenished periodically throughout the event. It was warm outside that day but the venue has decent air conditioning where we sat down in comfort throughout the event during dinner, slide show and hula performances. Overall, a great first time at OVC where I'd be game for a return visit. This is definitely a venue I'd consider if I wanted to host an event.

This place would be great for family parties, birthday parties, baby showers, recreational activities, and even private functions. Today's visit was because of the MAKAHIKI festival which my sons Cornwall and Hula Halal had performed for today. Aside of the activities for the MAKAHIKI festival, the performance was awesome. Being that they did a lot on their own by themselves for the first time they did well. HOWEVER, to hold an event & to utilize these facilities, you must have MILITARY CONNECTIONS. OF COURSE, Public access is available to civilians, but with LIMITED ACCESS to the beachfront & shores ONLY. Civilians are NOT ALLOWED to use or rent the facilities. I asked the CITY & COUNTY and they said this place IS NOT on their list & as far as for the STATE, they said they have no rental information on these facilities. So... that means... it's through MILITARY OFFICIALS ONLY! To be honest, I'm SURE military will say it's because this is "PEARL HARBOR", where their military is located, they have to take precautions to whom has access to the area. WHICH FOR ME, KINDA SUCKS because this place WAS once where my kupunas (older aunts & uncles) used swim & look for oyesters for food & pearls for jewelry/decorations, WAAY before the HARBOR was built for the military and now... a grandniece of theirs, a KANAKA, has LIMITED access to the area. As a civilian... we're FORBIDDEN from using "THEIR FACILITY". Doesn't really seem fair, doesn't it?! But that's the so called RULES. let's hope in due time there is a way to allow civilians the use of this area WITHOUT military connections. Anywho, if you have a chance to rent this spot, GO FOR IT!!!! And be sure to TAKE CARE OF THE PLACE TOO! Just because military has the say over this area, doesn't mean we should destroy or ruin the property itself. It is still OUR AINA! And Regardless if your ARE KANAKA OR NOT, just treat this place as if it was YOUR OWN HOME. And if you MISTREAT it and say that's how you'd treat your own home, then I can only imagine how embarrassed your parents must feel to have raised such a sloppy individual. POOR THING, YOU... SAD...

From wedding receptions and baby showers to Junior Chamber of Commerce banquets and - most recently, a medical seminar... this place can transform according to the needs of the hosts! There are movable dividers that can change the size of the room, depending on the number of guests. This property in the Salt Lake district is well kept because of the members of the golf club, the housekeepers, and the groundskeepers. Outside, the grass is green and the plants are healthy. Inside, the decor could be updated, but it's functional. We parked in the members' area for free because security said no members would be coming at this time. We explained that we were here for the seminar and the gentleman was very accommodating. We were able to view the PowerPoint presentation easily because we arrived early and selected the best seats. Luckily, we brought jackets because the air-conditioning was on full blast! We helped ourselves to soft drinks in cans, ice cubes, napkins, and glassware. Later, the hot entrées, fresh fruits, cookies, and green salads were ready for us. The steamed fish, BBQ chicken, white rice, Sautéed veggies, and asparagus salad were delicious!

With how much driving range prices have increased over the years, the membership has actually helped me save money each month. Being able to play 18 holes twice a week on the simulator alone makes it worth every penny. The Golfzon simulator is also the best one I've tried compared to other sims. One feature I really enjoy is being able to track my stats and review my swing analysis videos directly in the Golfzon app on my phone -- something I can't get at a regular driving range. I also enjoy the flexibility of having private late-night sessions after a long day at work. It's a great alternative to the gym and a fun way to switch things up. Bringing friends to play in the virtual league has been a blast too. On top of that, the owner, Anant, is very welcoming and accommodating.

I love that you get the whole place to yourself, the room is huge and there's a lot of things to do aside from the simulator itself. Entertainment- putting area, 2 arcade games, karaoke, cards, 2 smart tvs. Food/comfort- tables, extra chairs, 2 comfy sofas, refrigerator, microwave (can bring your own drinks and food) Parking is easy to find, we just park by Hawai'i USA and take the elevator up. Kahi is an easygoing guy and made everything simple to understand when teaching us about how to use the simulator. We liked it so much that we signed up for membership that day. We're here maybe like once a week. It's also kid friendly! We have a 1 and 4 yr old that we bring sometimes. We always book the 2hr reservation and that gets us through an 18hole course (2 players) and time for driving range or parts of another course after. They also have an app connected with the simulator that records your swing and gives you feedback on it. It records your scores on the courses too. Booking is also super easy! Communication with the owners is also really good, they respond pretty quickly. So far they've done an outstanding job. If you love to golf, but can't go out to the courses all the time then a membership here or even just visiting here to try it out is definitely a must!
