They are INSANELY generous w their portions here which is awesome. I felt like the poke bowl cld have fed a family of five. I got the custom one but im gonna try one of the premarinated next time!
SO SO GOOD! This is one of the best poke bowls I've had. The portions are huge. Luckily, I shared the nachos because if not I wouldn't be able to finish it. All the girls in the front are so nice and willing to answer all your questions. I say that because I always have a million! When I was building my own bowl, they were helping me add toppings. The place has plenty of seating. My only comment is that I wish they sold water bottles.
Get the nachos! I had the Kamikaze nachos and they were amazing. The wonton chips were crispy and held up with the massive toppings of salmon, mango, cucumbers, etc. Came with a side of guacamole. The poke/fish tastes fresh and everything was yummy. Not quite like Hawaii but close enough. Poke comes with furikake on the rice, which makes it 10x better. Trying the tsunami nachos next along with the actual plates. Yes, everything is pricey, but worth it.
Food here was really good. The nacho was crunchy with the refreshing salmon and sauce. It also came with a small side of guacamole. The salmon poke nachos was my favorite The 8 Oz salmon poke was a bit disappointing, the salmon was not fresh compared to the one I had in the nachos. But overall, I really enjoyed the food here. The food came out quick and there are ample amount of seatings.
Came here on a Saturday for lunch - they have a few tables and chairs. I ordered online to save my seat and I love that the poke came in an ice bag. The poke was super fresh though the spare ribs was a bit too chewy. The macaroni salad was delicious and the lumpia was fried perfectly. Will be back!
Yes! Finally a good Poké place. Portion size is good, food is flavorful, and the food looks amazing. The POG juice is also delicious, wish they had a location in the city. The place is small and cozy, great place to hang out with friends before or after chilling near the bridge. Service is good and quick as well!
This was on my boyfriend's to try list, so one day while we were in Brooklyn we made sure to check it out. The interior of this Hawaiian spot is pretty casual with only some seating (it's not great for big groups). Although the line wasn't bad when we arrived, by the time we left it was out the door. Their menu consists of poke, Hawaiian plates, poke nachos, musubi, and some other Hawaiian bites. We decided to try their kamikaze nachos when we were there and it was so good. Poke was super fresh and the nachos were very flavorful. Will definitely have to come back to try some of their other dishes!
This is a casual, cute spot right by the DUMBO waterfront and great for a lunch before walking the park! We had the butter garlic shrimp lunch plate and the loco moco lunch plate. The gravy was so flavorful and we loved the Mac salad ! My family is from Hawaii and this spot really fills my heart when I miss a part of home! Service was quick and friendly!
Hmm came here after hearing all the raving reviews to see if this really is the best poke in NYC, which has a bit of a poke drought. There's lots of seating inside, the food comes out fast and there's a bathroom, but was a bit disappointed. - Salmon poke nachos (4/5): let's start with the good. these were pretty good - the nachos are wonton chips so they are thinner and lighter in texture and the salmon actually tasted pretty good. we didn't have too much salmon in the dish though, a lot more nachos than fish - Ahi Tuna (2/5): unfortunately, these were a miss. the tuna did not taste very fresh... honestly a bit frozen?? and it was wayy too salty, there was too much soy sauce it was nearly impossible to eat on its own, even with rice it was still rather salty Glad to have tried but unfortunately still on the hunt for very good quality poke in nyc
I actually really enjoyed the butter garlic shrimp! It was super flavorful and had that nice garlic char. Unsure if they go by pounds or pieces, but mine came with 8 which ended up being enough for me. However, the mac salad was p disappointing. I also always sub a rice for more mac at every Hawaiian food restaurant I go to (which thankfully this place doesn't charge you extra for doing so). It definitely had potential since the sauce itself was fine, but the pasta was very over cooked which made it smushy. My boyfriend got the fire dance salmon and they give you so much salmon, he had a difficult time finishing it all so the portions were p good! The staff was nice - you order at the kiosk, they call your name, and there are a few tables across the side. We were lucky to get a table, but I'm sure it's difficult when it's busy. The AC felt immaculate in this 90+ degree heat haha so I would say vibes were good, would come back to try some other menu items!
Tbh I haven't heard of this place until my friend recommended it, and it's safe to say it's a POPULAR spot. There was a line out the door, and we definitely had to wait a bit for a seat. I heard that maybe the best thing to do is to get takeout and then eat by a park if you're not in a hurry to wait for a table. - Hawaii Ahi Poke, (5/5): my friend ordered this - perfectly seasoned and fresh salmon. The flavor is so addicting and the 8 oz was a good size. My friend didn't finish it all and the rice went p well with it - Longanisa Sausage, (5/5): I wanted something warm and comforting and this dish def hit the spot. It came with fried eggs, sausage and a Mac salad, and rice. It was soooo much food but it was so good I ate it all. The sausages were smoky, slightly sweet and garlicky. I would 100% come back to try their poke or other hot foods.
Great food, great customer service. a little on the expensive side and very hard to find parking. but the ahi tune packs great flavor and large chunks. its a grab and go place but there is informal sit down. Service was fast and reliable as we had four children. Everything was so good and I am coming back to try there large selection. NIce touch of hawaii in brooklyn.
I love Hawaiian food and this place did not disappoint. The poke tasted so fresh and the chips were perfectly crunch. The sauce on top just brought all the flavors together. The plate wasn't as good as the nachos but still solid. I might just be spoiled by LA food. The beef was nice and tender and the sausage had a little spice to it which I loved. The chicken was good and the Mac was nice and creamy. The food comes out quick and there are plenty of seats I side. It did seam like most people ordered to go. The service was excellent and the ambiance was pretty simple.

I'm thrilled to find this Hawaiian place as there are not many in NYC. Aloha Alley serves two of my fave dishes : poke and BBQ. Fresh, vibrant poke paired with smoky, flavorful Hawaiian BBQ -- the perfect combination of refreshing textures and rich, savory flavors. Every bite is a celebration of island-inspired cuisine. Consider this your sign to add Hawaiian cuisine to your foodie bucket list because these flavors are absolutely worth experiencing. read more

Ordered: Aloha Lemonade (~$5): calamansi lemonade 8oz Fire Dance Salmon (~$16): salmon, masago, jalapeños, cucumbers, scallion, chili flakes, ponzu shoyu, spicy mayo, and furikake rice Tsunami Nachos (~$15): signature Hawaii ahi tuna poke w scallions, sweet onions, seaweed, soy garlic shoyu, pineapple, jalapeños, carrots, guacamole, topped w spicy mayo, unagi sauce, and furikake over crispy wonton nachos chips Aya's take: Aloha Alley is truly the closest we've gotten to Hawaiian poke in NYC yet! I'm a sucker for poke and have had really delicious ones even in California but this really hit the spot. The Fire Dance Salmon is creamy, spicy, and the salmon is super fresh! I will say they put an overwhelming amount of jalapeños which I could've done without. The warm furikake rice compliments the cold, fresh poke so well. Their furikake is more umami than what I'm used to; I think there's a lot more fish flakes in theirs. The Tsunami Nachos were so satisfying and the portion was solid! I love that they use wonton chips which are fresh, crunchy, and airy. The tuna is super fresh and I like the sweet onions and soy garlic shoyu which go so well with the ahi tuna. The guacamole portion could have been better as it didn't really match the portion of the Tsunami Nachos. We also got the Aloha Lemonade which was refreshing and sweet. Absolutely would come again when I'm in DUMBO. read more

Been back a couple more times and the Hawaiian style poke is truly 10/10 since you can't get this anywhere else in nyc. The fire dance def has a kick so if you can't handle a medium spice at the minimum it'll be spicy. Unfortunately one of the times we ordered and paid for a 16oz salmon poke but got an 8oz instead, and didn't realize until we got home. That was a bummer but can't even knock off a star bc that's how much I support these guys. read more
I had been meaning to try Aloha Alley for months now for their poke nachos after learning about them on TikTok. The first time I tried they were sold out unfortunately, but the second time I went I was able to try them! I got the tsunami nachos, which featured tuna, and they were pretty tasty!! Food was prepared fresh and served to me relatively quickly. Seating was very scarce though so I probably waited more than 20 minutes for a table and there was no way to line up so I felt very much in the way. The wonton wrappers made for amazing crispy chips and sauce and toppings were plentiful. Honestly the portion size was huge so it's a good value for the money. The ingredients were super fresh but the sauce combination was not my favorite. That's simply because I prefer more savory flavors than sweet, but if sweet is your jam you'll love these! read more

Good spot found from tiktok . Solid but nothing compared to the Hawaii poke like everyone claims. The Hawaii ahi a little too salty for my liking. The fire dancing queen Young and sweet, only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh, yeah You can dance, you can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene Digging the dancing queen Was pretty solid I give that a good 8/10. Mac salad was decent too. Portion size is healthy read more
Ordered two plates and a poke to go. Got the garlic butter shrimp, loco moco, and ahi tuna poke. Portions are very very fair and filled us up! The lock moco was a classic - two patties drenched in gravy, two scoops of rice, two fried eggs and macaroni salad. What more can someone ask for? The garlic water shrimp was presented in a similar fashion with substantial rice and macaroni salad. The Ahi tuna poke comes with furikake rice - very salty on its own, but works well with the carbs. Overall, everything was a bit on the salty side but was still delicious and satisfied with the hearty meal. 4.2 out of five stars. read more
Ordered dinner for pick up while in the area, turn around time was quick. Lots of seating in the shop, which looked bright and well maintained. I made my own poke bowl but I think you don't need all the extra toppings to enjoy the poke here. The fish was great, I had a mix of the salmon and tuna. I am a mac salad lover so I got a side of theirs, but it had an interesting pineapple flavor to it that threw me off. Not your run of the mill macaroni salad so be warned. I'm excited to come back and try more of the traditional Hawaiian dishes. read more

I'm impressed with the fresh fish and the shear size of the pieces- no fishy flavors and huge chunks. I haven't been able to find good poke in the city and I think this spot will be my go-to now. Hope they add a spicy sauce to their offerings that isn't spicy mayo. The rice and veggies were all very fresh too. I think the poke bowl is a better deal than their pre-mixed poke offerings, but that's just my preference. read more

Ordered lunch to go to enjoy at a local brewery and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the meal! My husband and I shared a spam musubi (yummy, sweet sauce on it) along with the fire dance salmon which was good quality and flavor, and my husband really enjoyed the seasoning on the rice, too! We also opted for the Mac salad which was soooo good. Noodles cooked perfectly and delicious sauce too. It was packed inside when I went to pick it up, so that further shows me how quality aloha alley is! Def will be back. read more

I went on a Sunday around lunch time, but got lucky with a short line. My partner and I were super excited to try their poke. I ordered the salmon and ahi tuna poke, the big Kahuna plate, and the calamansi lemonade. The salmon was lighter in taste and leaned a bit fruity because of the mango chunks. The ahi tuna was salty and I tasted more of the seaweed salad than the actual sauce, which I personally don't like. I thought the poke bowl would come with sides but I was told build your own poke bowl was only available during the week. So the price point seemed pretty steep for just the poke. I was a little disappointed in the poke as it does not taste like what it was in Hawaii. I was extremely disappointed with the big Kahuna plate. The one sausage was cut in half to make it seem like you got two. There was 4 pieces of kalbi and like a scoop of chicken. The chicken was very bland and a little chewy. It also came with two scoops or rice and a scoop of Mac salad, so it feels they tried to fill up the plate with carbs. The Mac salad was also underwhelming, like no taste at all. The calamansi lemonade was pretty good, but wish it was a little bit more sour. The cup was pretty small for $5 though. Overall, the poke is nothing compared to Hawaii. But not to say the poke was bad. I would recommend people try the poke but can't say the same about the other plate. read more

Must get tuna poke again!! We went near closing time and the nachos were sold out. So sad. I was excited for it but i got tuna poke and omg the sauce is crack. I would eat a tub of that alone on rice!!! Definitely getting it again in future. Loco moco is good but not my fave. Pog juice is pog. read more

This shop is conveniently located close to the Brooklyn flea market. We got the fire dance salmon and garlic butter shrimp. The shrimp was great and perfectly seasoned. We were a bit disappointed with the Mac salad, as it seemed too over cooked and not enough firmness to the texture. The garlic shrimp and salmon was great read more
My friends and I went to Aloha Alley to grab dinner around 7:30pm on a Friday. One of my friends and I are from Hawaii, and I asked the cashier if anyone on the staff was from Hawaii, and he said the chef was. The restaurant probably operates more on takeout, but there are a few tables where you can take your takeout and sit down, which is what we did. There were three other parties at the time, and it is a no frills ambiance. We ordered the tsunami nachos ($14.99), loco moco ($16.95), butter garlic shrimp ($16.95), big kahuna plate (kalbi, teri chicken, longanisa) ($24), and POG ($5/each - they had BOGO). Overall, the food was fine, and if you're from Hawaii and desperate, you can satisfy your craving. The tsunami nachos (ahi) were honestly the best thing, albeit the least authentic. The flavors were spot on, and I thought the wonton nachos complemented the fish more than regular chips would. For the loco moco, the hamburger was dry and overcooked. The garlic shrimp had a mild version of the flavors you would experience from a shrimp truck back home. Everything in the big kahuna plate lacked seasoning, and the kalbi was tough and chewy. The POG tasted very natural, but I was expecting a Hawaiian Sun or similar canned drink for nostalgia reasons. Again, the food is fine, and the prices are appropriate for the area. I just went in expecting to have a taste of home, and the flavors didn't live up to my experiences. read more

I've never had Hawaiian food but I wanted to try it for a minute. I pulled up to aloha valley. It's in dumbo a pretty good area. They specialize in poke and Hawaiian food so I ordered the big kahuna. Where you get a good mix of everything. Rice, 3 Meats, and macaroni salad. Plus I got a side salad. Priced at $24 but they pack it out with protein. I like how they add sesame on the rice it adds a nice crunch. There's chicken, steak and I think pork. I really wanted to try this Hawaiian mac salad. It's different from how Caribbeans make it but it compliments the meal. After eating everything, it fills me up but doesn't leave me sluggish. It's a pretty good meal. Customer service was straight forward. Shout out to the guy who helped me. Food didn't take too long. I would definitely come back to explore the Hawaiian flavors. read more
We stopped by after walking around DUMBO for a bit and I always love Hawaiian food so I'd figure we give this place a try. It was alright but nothing to write home about. The fish and flavors of the kamikaze nachos was good but the wonton chips were hit or miss. Some were too oily and not crisp enough. Some were too hard that it hurt my teeth to bite into. The spicy garlic shrimp flavor-wise was also good but we're never fans of places that keep the tails on the shrimp. It just makes it harder to eat. The restaurant itself is nice though and maybe the poke bowls and other dishes are better. read more

Smells so good in there. Staff is Friendly, kind and patient. Def gives Hawaii vibes. It could be a little cleaner in there. The tables could definitely use some attention. Food is fresh and tasty but I can't say it's packed with flavor read more
