Late lunch in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii...
Located at Kingsgate Plaza, Aloha Express shares its free parking lot with businesses such as Jollibee and S7 Icy Bubble.
The former name of Aloha Express is 99 Local Mix Plate. They used to be at Moanalua 99 food court/shopping center.
The service is still cheerful and efficient. After I ordered the mini Garlic Ahi, the cashier said it's a better deal to get the special... ok!
Later, she told me that they sold out of ahi and can give me mahimahi... ok!
Thank you!
The rice was ok and the macaroni salad had small bits of carrot and onion in it.
I dined in because I was between meetings. I was able to observe the walk-in customers and see how the cashier interacted with everyone. She's really good because she remembers the regulars and their orders!
I really enjoyed having a meal in this bright, clean, spacious restaurant.
Note: It used to be a Mexican restaurant.
It's situated in the corner of the plaza, near the stairs.
Go find them! read more
