The food was great and fresh. We ordered the pulled pork and teriyaki chicken with two scoops of the macaroni salad, which tasted really good. The chicken was tender and flavorful and fresh and tender. The pulled pork had a light smoke flavor, and it was tender and juicy. Service was fast and great. The ambiance was nice. read more

OUR FAVORITE!!! We absolutely LOVE Aloha, from the amazing Hawaiian food to the incredible service you receive every time you walk thru the door. Even though it's a fast experience it's always a great one!! It's been a regular of ours for years and will be as long as it's up and running. Cheers! read more

Shawn G here. I don't stop everywhere and not everyone is for me but Aloha Café in Bend is an easy yes. No hassles, good energy, and the large plate with the ribs is the move--seriously awesome and totally satisfying. If you dig Hawaiian food, you've gotta stop by. read more

So glad I finally got a chance to try this gem!!! I promise you it won't be the last time. What incredible food. And the prices are amazing. I had the pork and the ribs. And they were so good. I can't wait to go back. read more

Everything went well. Clean, friendly staff, and super clean food. Really made our trip complete.

Aloha is my go to lunch spot in bend. The service there is amazing and the volcano chicken with with the Mac salad is to die for.

I've been eating at Aloha Cafe since they originally opened and have never been let down. However, today I experienced their greatness on a whole new level. I utilized their catering service for about 150 people. Lee was amazing. He made sure we were well taken care of. No one complained about the food at all. In fact, a frequent comment was wanting Aloha Cafe to cater another one of our work events. Thank you to Aloha Cafe and especially Lee for making our event a success! read more

Taste was ok at best, get descent amount of rice, scoop of Mac salad, small chicken breast & 1 small rib. This place definitely is not worth it when you consider the price. Way over priced. And limited on protein options. read more

We came in very last minute and the cashier at the counter was super nice & welcoming! As it was the end of the day, he kindly offered us an extra side of rice and didn't wait long for our food. We got two different chicken sauce, the lava and volcano and they're both good. The chicken itself was a bit dried out and rice was your old plane brown rice. The mac salad was good - all the flavors were there! read more

Years ago this place made their volcano chicken in the deep fryer and I would regularly get it. When they got rid of the deep fryer I stopped frequenting the establishment. I was craving some potato mac though and checked out their menu online I noticed that now made the same dish just with grilled chicken!! I made it there, open sign was on, door was open I walk in, but then notice paper on the door. SOLD OUT. I make eye contact with the cashier that greeted me when I opened the door and ask " so you have no food." With a big smile on her face she replied " yes". While leaving I let her know "I hadn't been in for years and after that experience probably won't be back" she then yelled " F@€k YOU TOO B!%€h" at me. so staff shuts down early and has no problem yelling & cursing at patrons. read more

Love the food every time great teriyaki chicken and I love the spam musubi, it's the same every time. When I walk in the employees are always nice. Here when you take an order it's pretty much always Togo there's no sitting inside, quick in quick out good quality food. read more

Aloha has catered a wedding reception for a hundred guests and a grad party for two dozen guests who loved the entrees and sides The Aloha Team lead by Manager Lee Gregory was careful in conversations planning and explaining what they delivered and how to best combine items on their delicious menu The cost was low They even provided more than committed in food and serving utensils I will order catering from them again read more

So I did not realize that they closed at 7PM, we walked in at 655PM, placed our order and waiting for our food. We waited for our food outside (there is no indoor seating at all) maybe 10 minutes go by and the lady walks up to me rolls her eyes, shakes her head and basically shoves the food at me. My question is if you were closing down already then why not just lock the doors? There is no need for the attitude, they could have just simply explained that they are getting ready to close for the night and we would've found somewhere else to eat. The food is awesome, it's just the communication that really threw me for a loop. If the food was going to be ready in less then 10 minutes why not ask for the customers phone number to call them to let them know their order is ready instead of having an unnecessary attitude. I understand the frustration of a customer coming in right before closing, that's why communication is key with your customer. Just a key tip from a restaurant general manager (: read more

Another great place we discovered this trip. Showed up here shortly after they opened, and it was already starting to hop. Service was friendly, the lady running the counter was accommodating and kind. There are no tables to eat at, so everything is to go. I love the small menu, screams to me that they do a few things really well, they focus on those things and generally the food comes out a little quicker. We didn't wait long to get ours. I couldn't make up my mind, so I got the Sample Platter, which was very good. Each meat had a lot of flavor, was tender and tasted as it should. The teriyaki had a good flavor, and the chicken had a great grilled flavor as opposed to other places where it can be bland. The kahlua pork was tender, juicy and packed with flavor. The lava chicken had some real kick to it, again, the chicken was grilled and just tasted like it was a higher quality than normal. The BBQ chicken had a great sauce. I'll definitely come back. I really wanted to try the loco moco but didn't want to hold up the group, but now I'll have a hard time choosing anything but that platter! Three small knocks: The lack of tables was a little bit of a bummer, but I get it. They also didn't sell any of the Hawaiian Sun canned fruit soda's that are sooo good when you're eating Hawaiian food. If I'm having a taco, I want a Jarritos, if I'm eating Kalua pork, I want a can of Lillikoi Passion. I hope that's something they add. Third knock is that the mac salad was lackluster. It was fine, the rest of the meal was so good i tossed it and moved on, but another one of those things that I feel like I really want from a Hawaiian place is a great mac salad. Typically, this would be enough to knock it down to 4 stars, but I enjoyed the food so much, and the price was so reasonable for the amount of food they give you, I just couldn't bring myself to it. I'll definitely be back. read more

Aloha Cafe is an independent local eatery that serves what is referred to as Hawaiian BBQ. It's much like a lot of places on the west coast (such as unrelated Aloha Hawaiian BBQ and L&L Hawaiian) and isn't really BBQ, as southerners, Texans and mid-westerners would define it. Still, they serve up good grub in the form of Hawaiian plate lunches. Volcano chicken: very tasty, slightly spicy, not greasy. Well prepared. Potato-macaroni salad: really nice. Pineapple coleslaw: also really nice and not 'pineapply' Aloha has only a small space that fills quickly with the lunch crowd. Turnover is quick, though, and the ordering process is efficient. Fast casual: order at the counter, your food will be brought to you (or they'll call your name for to-go orders). Bus your own table. Parking can be challenging in the cramped strip mall. Recommended. read more

We used to Aloha Cafe to cater my sons wedding this week. Everyone was absolutely amazing to work with. They were very responsive and helpful to decide what we needed. They were on time and set up quickly. The food was amazing and all of the guests talked about how yummy it was. This was a wonderful cater to work with. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you Aloha Cafe for making my son's wedding amazing! read more

Just your standard run of the mill teriyaki joint, but worse. They cover it in sauce tho, like absolutely drench it, which is super sweet and syrupy. Mine also had a funny taste to it like soap but I'm not sure why. The rice is just plain and the noodles have no spice or complexity. The people are friendly and it's quick so they get one star, but after a few bites I threw it away. read more

Very good food. All the meats were moist and very flavorful. The coleslaw may be the best I have ever had. Also, very good value for sure. Great job! read more

Never ever thought I'd be writing this. With the streamlined menu changes. I'll no longer be a customer. Been going since you guys opened, no more "fryer" foods or teriyaki beef. Bummed! If you want some food that's now dragged over the grill and sauced, with awesome service go here. RIP my two favorites, chicken kadzu and volcano chicken . Good luck in the future of streamlined. read more

Aloha Cafe - a meal in a styrofoam container - Hawaiian Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I stopped by today to grab some Togo food for three and they said it was either a 30 min wait for any chicken or we could get ribs or Kahlua pork much faster, this wasn't an inconvenience as we aren't too picky. The wait was exceptional and the food was pretty good as well. What compelled me to write a review was the gal running the front, I never caught her name but she had blue eyes and long brown hair. Awesome service! Super kind and welcoming, she ran the food out to my car when it was done and overall was just a nice experience. Like I mentioned the wait was exceptional yet she still apologized for the wait and threw in a loaf of banana bread, honestly above and beyond what she needed to do and I just wanted to show my appreciation for her service, it's nice to see someone so happy doing they're job. You go girl! read more

I love Hawaiian food. Tried one other place in town and it was just so-so, so I decided to give Aloha a try. This place is in demand! Came here for lunch today and it was very BUSY. The young man at the register was super nice considering how long the line has gotten. He deserves a 5* for keeping his cool. Ordered teriyaki chicken with brown rice and noodles and BBQ ribs with Mac-potato salad and noodles to go. Wanted to try their malasadas too but there was extra 10mins wait so will get that some other time. Got our food pretty quick. I was super excited to try their ribs. Unfortunately, I ended up with Lava chicken instead of the ribs. Kind of disappointed but I did want to try the lava chicken that everyone's been raving about too so no harm done. Fortunately, they got the sides and the kiddo's teriyaki chicken right. The potato-Mac salad was pretty good, surprisingly light. I think I prefer it to the typical too heavy on mayo macaroni salad. The noodles, although plain looking was good too. The kiddo loved the teriyaki chicken. The lava chicken was sweet and spicy. Never encountered it before. Thought it was just ok. Will have to go back and try those ribs, kalua pork and malasadas. read more

Great for takeout on the Eastside! Got the sampler which had a lot of meat and combos otherwise won't available

Lee helped us with catering our wedding to feed about 100 people, plenty of food!. We are extremely happy with the delicious food, amazing customer service! Definitely recommend! Prices are fantastic! read more

This was an excellent new find in Bend Oregon. Four of us stopped in for dinner to-go and were not disappointed. We had chicken, pork and the Lava chicken. Sides and sauces were top notch, not too sweet or salty. Staff were friendly and motivated to please with curb side service. Great meal and a reasonable price. We'll be back soon. Cheers! read more

Great food at an affordable price. I will definitely be back for more. Good variety and friendly staff.

Fast , good teriyaki. Customer service was good. I would definitely go back. Not a fan of potato Mac salad and it was good.

Stopped in here for carry out while on vacation. Oh my I wish I lived here so I could eat here all the time. Very friendly service and awesome food. read more

The most tender and flavorful teriyaki chicken ever. Lava chicken is amazing, traditional Mac salad. Big portions, friendly staff. Their hours are short - right now, Tuesday through Saturday 11-2, but their hours change depending on deliveries so you might want to check ahead of time. We make a special trip to come to this place as often as we can. Try it out! read more

I ordered the chicken teriyaki with rice and potato/mac salad, my wife had the kalua pork. Service was fast and friendly, price and portions were typical for the style of food. Kalua pork - The best teriyaki/Hawaiian pork I've ever had. So moist and tender, with tons of smoky goodness. Was very jealous I didn't get this for myself. Chicken teriyaki - Good, but not outstanding. Could have used a little more char and seasoning. But still tasty. Potato/mac salad - This was the only disappointment. The combo of mac and potato salad didn't really work for me, and didn't mesh well with the meats. Also had way way too much mayo in it. We will be going back when we're in Bend next, and I will be ordering the pork for darned tooting sure! read more

Really go, unfortunate it's to go only as we had to eat in the car lol. Food portions are average but food is well done and staff are good guys read more

Best Hawaiian food in Bend! My kids and I love this place. Great spot to stop in for great food Togo for a park picnic.

This place is so good, like literally, so good. The sauce on the meat is so full of flavor. The meat is grilled to perfection. The yakisoba noodles aren't covered in grease which was really nice. They are super generous with portions. The staff was extremely welcoming and kind. We will be back, for sure. Thanks Aloha fam! read more

So good, been coming here every visit to Bend (which is about 20x/year). Staff is always awesome, like the food. Order an extra banana bread for later (if they still have any left, they sell out quick) you won't regret it. read more
