    Salmon Burger
    Julio C.

    Food: food was absolutely delicious. The salmon burger was great. The salmon was perfect cooked. The sauce that they put on the burger worked well with the salmon. The fries were well seasoned and crispy but one thing it was it salty. Musubi was great. Tasted like a regular Musubi. The supah salad was delicious the BBQ was cooked perfectly and the dressing went well with the combination of the BBQ. Service: service was great. The cashier was nice and patient. Ambiance: I love the Hawaiian decor. It was slow. There wasn't any people. At the restaurant. Overall: 4.8/5

    This is the katsu and beef shortrib combo.
    David C.

    Is the katsu usually this thin? At this point it just tastes like I'm eating deep fried sticks. Not much chicken to them. Wanted to try it because I'm usually an L&L guy, but if this is the usual I don't see myself going back. Open to another shot, as maybe this isn't the usual.

    Aloha Bowl with chicken... one of my favorites
    Buddy T.

    The food is great here. Different from the other Hawaiian places we go to. The owner (Sam) is usually there, and is great with his patrons and new customers. We just happened to be in this area and saw the place a while back so we gave it a try. Sam was so nice, he gave my boys balloons so they could play with them while we were waiting for our freshly-made Hawaiian plates. I just think Mom-and-Pop shops like these which are owner-operated and supervised hit the spot better. We do not come as often because of the distance from our house, but my boys still request it every now and then. They don't even call the restaurant by its name, they say "let's go to Sam's, Daddy. We miss it." Highly recommended. The place is clean too -- you won't miss the Hawaiian ambiance from the music to the decor and overall chill vibe of this place.

    Chicken curry and rice

    Wonderful Hawaiian inspired menu items! Curry chicken and rice is a must. Da kine musabi have to have this. Service is excellent and the Hawaiian music really sets the tone. Try the shaved ice too Thank you Erika See you again

    Kalbi that was over cooked felt like eating jerky
    Khonnor W.

    Was craving comfort food and wanted to try this place out, but ended up disappointed. I ordered a combination plate: katsu and BBQ pork, and my girlfriend ordered the kalbi. Growing up with local Hawaiian food, this wasn't it. The katsu was paper-flat, barely any chicken; the BBQ pork tasted off; the kalbi was tough and looked like it was pre-cooked and warmed up. The lady who took our order was pretty nice, but other than that, I would not come back at all. Felt like i got robbed for what i paid for.

    the rice isn't even seasoned in the musubi. It's just white rice. Not in the photo is the paper thin pork tonaktsu.
    Melissa P.

    The triple combo is NOT enough food for two hungry people. I don't even eat that much but this plate for 2 is half of what I would get in any other Hawaiian bbq place. Not coming back good luck underserving your customers. If you don't know how to make Asian food, maybe learn it before you charge people money. I'm so upset that I paid someone for this garbage.

    Combination plate chicken teriyaki and Kalbi ribs with rice, macaroni salad
    Karen J.

    This place has great Hawaiian food. They have teriyaki chicken and kalbi ribs. Kalbi Ribs are to die for. Always very moist and tender. I also like the crystal noodles here. These are gluten-free and they're made of sweet potato if you can believe it. Very TASTY. Sam, the owner is very kind and helpful. We have had them cater for us a few years ago and we're doing it again this year for our Christmas party. High-quality food and very reasonably priced. If you have a craving for teriyaki chicken and kalbi ribs, this is a place for you. It's a small, quaint place and the ambience is very cool. They always have Hawaiian music playing and it's decorated with Hawaiian pictures and decor. Even a picture of the famous Duke Surfing. It's a great little gem in our neighborhood!

    We just visited Aloha BBQ and we enjoyed our food! The service was great & the portions good. Even the kids meal had a good amount of food. The place is cute and has nice ambiance with hawaain music playing in the background.

There are some outdoor seatings and indoor seatings available. The service is prompt, efficient, and very friendly. My orders are always ready upon arrival. Usually in less than 10 minutes, if that. I super appreciate their sense of urgency. Now the food itself is also something noteworthy in my opinion. The chicken and avocado salad came with generous portions of perfectly ripe and sliced avocados. The salad dressing was something I didn't expect I enjoy so much. I am hooked! Please sell them by the gallons! I will buy it weekly! The avocado rolls also came with very generous portions of perfectly ripe avocados. Not a blemish in sight and very fresh and tasty. I actually ended up getting full just eating them by itself first. The grilled salmon bento is a must order. I loved how the salmon was cooked. The sauce wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. I am glad I ordered mine with extra avocado. It made for a very filling meal. The dumplings were also delicious and the 4-pc California rolls were such a nice contrasting side kick. The salad came with their wonderful dressing too! I didn't expect the accompanying soup complimenting the meal so perfectly. The best $20 something meal I spent in awhile! I am looking forward to revisiting again this week and trying out their other menu items. The location is right off of 5 Freeway exit and in the same shopping center as Target and Kona Loa Coffee which makes for a really good spot to get food from on-the go.
