    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 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.

    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.

    Loco moco and tasty chicken combo

    I have a special place in my heart for Aiea bowl. Bowling is always a fun activity and a great way to bond with friends and family. What really makes this place stand out, is the food. With great service, ambiance, and the sound of a bowling ball obliterating pins, perhaps things just taste better in a bowling alley. We stick to our staples of the tasty chicken and the loco moco, but truly the whole menu is a hit. The lemon crunch cake (could not be pictured fast enough) is absolutely perfect and the apple pie (shared a similar fate as the aforementioned) is delectable.

    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.

    Love this place so much I went twice. Such friendly servers and great food. The fact that it's in a bowling alley just makes it more unique. Very local vibe and that's what I love most about this places

    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!!
    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.

    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!!

We've had so many fun memories here with my two little boys. The best thing about Chuck E Cheese is how reasonable the game play is. For $20 bucks, you can play for close to an hour, especially if just one kid is playing. We've been coming here since my 4 year old was just a baby. We celebrated his 3rd birthday here! And this was one of our first family outings when my new baby who is now 1 was born. We love the staff here. They are friendly, helpful, and made my sons' visits each time special. On my oldest son's birthday, they had Chuck E come out and sing to him and brought him a slice of cake. It was so special! The games are fun and the space is clean. It's on the older side, but everything is well cared for. The food is a little pricy and not much to write home about, but we've eaten here more than once. The wings and fries are our favorite. Overall, we are SO sad to see it go. We hope to visit the other locations, but Pearl City holds a place in our hearts!

My family had a great time here, watching the kids having fun, and also I enjoyed playing some of the arcade games myself too. They had a zombie shooting game and the Mario kart that were both really engaging. I also liked the skeeball and any shooting games as well. The climbing gym here was much smaller than the kalihi location, actually overall it's just a smaller place, but it's not as chaotic and I feel like it's cleaner too. As for the food, I don't care for their chicken tenders / nuggets, but I thoroughly enjoyed their bbq chicken, meat and ranch pizzas! Their crust had a really good garlic flavor. The last time I went to a Chuck E. Cheese was a year ago, and I had been thinking about their pizzas. A year later they still tasted delicious! Shout out to the staff too because they're all friendly and helpful. One game didn't work after tapping my card, and the staff went to give us a free game. If you decide to come back on your own, make sure you keep the play card. It costs money to get a new card. Their pricing for parties is not unreasonable. I'd consider this as a spot for kids party!

Compared to long time ago there's less rides and game booths. The pre-paid cards is also good for games and food booths . They do not except any cash at the game booths anymore. It was a new experience for me but I guess it's easier that way plus more efficient. It was very hot on a Sunday afternoon but my grand nephew had fun that's the main thing . We also had pizza and cotton candy to bring home . I guess due to Covid19 it's hard to maintain workers so EK Fernandez have to go on a smaller scale carnival.

This was the third time we tried to visit, and every single time there has been an excuse why my kids couldn't play. We've been told it's full, that there aren't enough kids, or that they could only play for 30 minutes. This time, I called ahead to make sure there was space before driving over. The person I spoke with told me they were open and had plenty of room. I explained that we would arrive in about 30 minutes. He said there was a birthday party starting at 4:00 PM, so my three boys would have 30 minutes to play freely before it got busy, and that they would be fine. When we arrived, we were immediately told they were closed for a party. I explained that I had just called and been told otherwise. Instead of trying to resolve the situation, the staff became hostile and accused me of lying, saying, "We don't even have a phone. We haven't had one for months." That's impossible because I called the phone number listed on their Google Business page. Rather than apologizing or trying to figure out what happened, they told us to leave and refused to let my kids play. The customer service was completely unacceptable. Lucas, Jason, and the manager (who refused to give me their name) handled the situation very poorly. Even if there had been a misunderstanding, there was no reason to treat a customer that way. We left and went to Space Room instead, and it turned out to be the best decision. The staff there were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Our kids had an amazing time, and the experience was everything we had hoped for. I will never return to Pups of War, and I cannot recommend it based on how we were treated. Save yourself the wasted trip and go somewhere that values its customers.

He'll even participate and set up a booth at the conventions or expos if he can, like Kawaii Kon, Comic Con, Hawaii's Collector's Expo, and Collector Megalopolis (hosted in the Pearlridge Malls)! Talk about nostalgic! He has pretty much anything and everything you could think of if you're looking for old retro games and consoles! You name it, he's probably got it! We went there looking for a bunch of PS2 games last Saturday around lunchtime. I think we spent almost a whole hour at his tent just finding a whole bunch of games! He's kind and thorough to check to make sure the games are in good playable condition and makes sure the controllers and consoles work too! He even gets Japanese games in every now and then (he sometimes has the consoles too like the Nintendo DSi)! I found me a nice rare Japanese game that I never thought I would get here in Hawaii (since not too many people know of it)! I thought I would have to get it in Japan again. It really depends on what he gets. He'll post on his Instagram whenever he gets new stuff in and they go quickly so follow him @retromax_hawaii to get the latest updates! He's really great at responding to messages too! Super nice guy! He just got a whole container of stuff while we were shopping at his tent at the swap meet and he was kind enough to let us look through them when they just got there! Go check him out! If you can't find what you're looking for at BOOKOFF, ECOTOWN, IDEAS, BOOKS & MUSIC, or even GAMESTOP, you'll probably find what you're looking for here! It's totally worth the visit!
