    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.

    Spork is awesome! We were driving through town on our way home to Cali and needed to get some late…read morelunch, early dinner. We arrived around 230 on a Wednesday and were surprised how many people were coming and going. After our experience, we understand why. We got in the short, quick line and looked over the specials and menu while waiting. I ordered the heirloom salad (but got the macha salsa on the side because I'm wimpy) and the elote corn, both on the " very, very specials" board. Randy ordered the chicken tinga taco and the carnitas taco and an order of chips and salsa. Corina got the beef and broccoli which came with a side of Jasmine rice. Everything was delicious although Randy was missing a couple things: a spicier salsa and thinner chips. I thought they were fine but he is quite particular where chips and salsa are concerned. He enjoyed the tacos, loved that they were street tacos and thought the carnitas were a little more flavorful but both were good. My salad was fresh and flavorful, all the components (minus the spicy macha salsa) made it exactly what I was hoping for. The corn was buttery, creamy, flavorful. The best I've had. It's a whole piece of corn broken in half and slathered with all the goodness with some slaw, cotija and lime on the side. Corina's beef and broccoli was scrumptious. I don't normally enjoy that dish but this one was excellent. The meat was flavorful and not grisly and the broccoli was cooked perfectly, not mushy. It was a huge portion. After eating a piece of the corn, she's got beef broccoli leftovers. Randy also got a raspberry soda which was good, not super sweet, and Corina got the apple mint lemonade which was very good. Everyone was nice and helpful and the music was a good level, plenty of seating. Apparently some outside too. We absolutely are looking forward to going back. PS picture of the wallpaper in the bathroom just because I loved it.

    Food was probably a 4 by itself but the order system is weird which made the ambience chaotic. They…read moremake everyone order before seating first, which in theory would make the wait time shorter but in practice this didn't work because the same guy taking orders was the guy bartending at the front. Needs one guy serving drinks and answering questions about the menu, and one person taking orders. The food was Chinese fusion with Mexican influences and we got mala noodles, 1 shrimp taco, and fried chicken. I'm Chinese and my husband is Mexican, so in theory this place would be right up our alley. However the shrimp taco's tortilla was not made fresh which is is the whole point of the taco (the salsa and the tortilla). The chicken was decent but not spectacular. The mala noodle was good on flavor (kudos for keeping the "ma" part intact) and probably the best part of the meal, but the rice noodle needs to be cooked 1-2 minutes less.

It was pretty dark in there to set the scenery so that was cool! Our waiter was very nice and told us some cool facts about some of the beers and drinks!

    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.
