    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

The restaurant runs on a highly efficient counter-service model: you wait in line to order, and a server coordinates whether you want to grab a table inside or out on the patio. Once we were seated, our food came out incredibly fast. I had the Spicy Pork Noodles, and my partner got the Yellow Curry loaded with shrimp and pork belly. Both main dishes were packed with flavor, and the crisp cucumber salad was the perfect side to share. I also ordered a hard cider to wash it down. Everything was delicious from start to finish.

Just enough spicy without being too much. Ordering at the counter seemed interesting to me due to the layout of the dining room, but the staff knew exactly what they were doing and were able to direct us to a seat easily! Our food and drinks also came in a timing manner. I really appreciated that we could see all the way back into the kitchen and there was transparency between the kitchen and the consumers. The bar looked gorgeous and I would definetly like to sit there next time for the vibes. I also loved that they provided self-serve boxes, napkins, and utensils but still had a sign asking patrons to be concious of how much they're using. The overall flow between ordering, self serve, and dining was super efficient and nice! Can't wait to come here again!

    A one star for me is a rare occurrence but, seriously.... Just avoid this place…read more.. To call this a tiki bar is an insult to the entire culture around Tiki. Let's just start out with the atmosphere.... This place is just covered in craft store plants and Amazon decorations. No character nothing special. Now I could've gotten past that if the drinks were OK. I didn't have super high hopes, but I was very excited to find a Tiki Bar in Bend while I was traveling for work. So I started out with just a classic Mai Tai after looking over the menu and being pretty disappointed that it's just the most basic "tiki" drinks in existence. The Mai Tai was flat out awful, and I mean AWFUL. It tasted like water mixed with lime juice. No alcohol taste in anyway, and not even a drip of Orgeat taste. It is so bad that it upset me, and it's completely clear like water. I did decide to stay cause I needed a break from the long week of work, but I just went straight to rum straight. I could've overlooked this, if there was even any slight conversation at the bar with the bartenders, but they had no interest in talking to the people that were there, three of the people at the bar were employees, and the entire time was just them talking together about how much they don't like rum or even the drinks on the menu. Wild. Past that they were talking about how they store their juices, and that they don't date label them in any way or throw them out after a certain amount of days, they just come in and taste them to see if they've gone bad. Get the f*** out of here.... A quick Google search will show you that most citrus juices start to oxidize within the hour, and orange and pineapple are not far behind... Don't even come here and give it a try, just go somewhere else.... This place should not be in business.

    Went here a while back before a show to grab a drink and some light eats. the drinks were pricey,…read morebut ok. food was good, decorations were cheesy. Our server was nice. It is located in the Old Mill District, which makes it accessible to grabbing drinks and food before a show, or an event. Overall not amazing, but would try again.
