    Lemon crunch cake
    Michi L.

    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.

    For our large reunion, we met at Aiea Bowl, where you can bowl and eat Hawaiian food. What a combo! Before ordering, our locals coached us on ordering the Oxtail Soup, Tasty Chicken (fried chicken with Korean sauce), and Boneless Marinated Kalbi. In the past when I've ordered oxtail soup (I'm talking to you Tip Top Cafe in Kaua'i), it was bland, but AB's totally changed my mind about oxtail soup which I wouldn't hesitate to order again. In fact, everything we tried was wonderful and I look forward to eating here again. As if the food wasn't enough, our locals ordered the pièce de résistance of a whole 7-10 layer chocolate fudge cake, and slices of strawberry cake and lemon cake. As an avid baker, I typically do not care for other people's cakes, but admittedly, AB makes some pretty good cakes.

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    Restaurant seating. Loud.
    Sandy C.

    Food is still pretty good. You'll be seated in the bowling alley. Not sure if they are renovating the restaurant. We were seated under the AC-so bring a coat-at the smallest table by the bathroom and bowling check-in even though the place was empty. It's loud and feels like a school cafeteria really. Especially for the prices. Service was excellent.

    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

    For a recent life milestone, friends wanted to celebrate at a place that was casual and fun so Aiea Bowl fit the bill. We had such a fun time and I'm amazed in all the years living here I never made it in. It's located right in Aiea, in the highest level of the shopping center. It's easy to park here with plenty of stalls and other little restaurants nearby. It's a super traditional bowling alley, and kept clean and bright. They have lots of lanes, quick and cheap shoe rental ($6), plus the restaurant and bar inside. The food line and alcohol line are separate, but both seemed to move pretty quickly. Prices are reasonable, lots of local food choices like fried chicken and noodles, plus salads and other pupu for sharing. They have lots of shared balls in different weights. They offer bumpers and ramps for the keiki. We all had such a fun time with two hours of rental. I'll definitely be back next time I want to bowl. (First review for 2026)

    Andrea H.

    Such a happy and vibrant experience welcoming us with the momentum of a busy rainy day. If lanes are available you get seated quickly if not you receive a little button that vibrates to call you up and they send a text message as well. Don't forget to try out their menu at the restaurant right next to the lanes; they have the BEST lemon crunch cake on the island- highly recommended! We had a blast with one hour lane we played two games between the 3 of us; we laughed and taunted and we came out with new memories. Check out their website for weekly discounts and themes; everything was well organized for finding the right ball size as well.

    The tasty chicken.
    Jill N.

    We went on March 5, 2026 the food was amazingly tasty big portions the cake slices had to be to go because we were so full. I ordered the tasty chicken and my husband ordered the Kalbi was the best I've ever had in a long time. The food so tasty and flavorful. The service was excellent and the ambiance is so chill the bowling alley is beautiful. I've got pictures for proof here we go.

    The Alley Combination Plate! Boneless Kalbi and Tasty Chicken with two scoops brown rice and tossed salad! Our favorite combination plate here. We share the plate for lunch and we still end up taking home leftovers! Tasty garlic and sweet shoyu flavored chicken bites that are moist inside and crispy and saucy skin on the outside. The boneless Kalbi is flavorful and range from chewy to tender pieces. The tossed salad has a nice non-descript dressing. Very simple salad, but a needed side to complement the chicken and Kalbi. We ordered take out dessert for later. A slice of the famous lemon crunch cake. Today's slice of cake was a bit on the dry side. Service is generally attentive unless it gets busy. Then you will need to flag a server for water refills, take out container, and the bill. A local restaurant with tasty food. A bit noisy as it is a bowling alley lol.

    Best fried chicken on the island and it's not even close! Their boneless galbi is super flavorful too! The whole meal in general is heavy fair warning some come hungry like after a beach day or a hike. Mac salad is great, and I ordered brown rice just to kinda balance out the meal. Service is a little slow but this place can get packed fast. A lot of people already sat as soon as it opened.

Restaurant side is nicely separated from the arcade side tho the scent when you walk in is that of stale buffalo wings and dirty beer rags. The game card machines are pretty abundant and easy to work to either buy new cards or recharge your old ones. Only real complaint is its still ridiculously loud in there and trying to find an employee to help with any technical issues is like searching for a a needle in a haystack...and it wasn't even that busy when we went. Literally took the kids to play games so we didn't have any food this time around. While i still miss Shirokiya and the Japan Walk, we will definitely be back...i mean...i have 2 little kids.

    I've been to Schofield Bowling Alley multiple times and my experiences have not really improved…read more A year ago the food was pretty decent but it has lately been worse. I'm not sure what changed but the pizza is not good and turned my stomach, the cookies are incredibly hard, and the hotdogs had bits of cartilage. Now on top of all this - they recently implemented a rule of not allowing any food or drink onto the table in the middle of the bowling seating where in any other bowling establishment is a very common practice. This is a NEW rule and one employee was extremely rude about it. It's understandable but inconvenient now. The only redeeming factor is the price to bowl. If you're looking for a cheap game and have nothing else to do it can be a good spot. Most of the employees are pretty friendly too.

Schofield bowling is clean and well maintained. I live Ewa and I'm willing to make the drive there because of that. The food... don't expect amazing food, it's a bowling alley. Food is what you'd expect for a bowling alley... but it's edible and for the prices there it is decent. Prices in general there is a lot less than any other bowling alley. Price per game, shoe rentals and everything is cheaper. Getting in is a little of an hassle compared to if you just go to barbers point bowling center but that's because it is on base. You have to stop and show identification and what not but nothing major. If you aren't military personnel.. don't worry. They let civilians on as well, just tell them you're there for the bowling alley and they'll give you a day pass. Overall I would go back and even more likely because that's my brother's preferred spot. I won't be going daily like my brother but I most definitely will be back.
