Aloha Express had great food and wonderful service! This was our first time coming here and we were pleasantly surprised. Despite how busy the restaurant was, we got our food really quick and hot. They went out of their way to accommodate seating arrangements for our family of 5, and even gave our girls coloring sheets and crayons to keep them busy. Everyone was a pleasure in the restaurant and all helped us out! The food was just as good, or better, than L&L BBQ. Needless to say, we will absolutely be back!
This is my first visit to Aloha Express. To say the least, my experience was superb. The service was fast and friendly, despite the fact that they're training a new employee (and she did a great job). They have a wide selection of appetizers, entrées and drinks to choose from. I ordered the Aloha BBQ mix, the Spam Musubi and the crispy shrimp. The BBQ mix was amazing I had a nice sweet yet flavorful bite. The spam was delicious. The saltiness of the spam paired well with the sweetness of the rice. The shrimp had a nice crisp and it was very tasty in the Yum Yum sauce. The ambience of the restaurant was cozy and cute and had lots of Hawaiian decor. Had seating capacity for about 30 to 40 people. The entrées prices are a reasonable $13-$15 and the portions were definitely not skimpy.
Aloha Express Hawaiian BBQ definitely deserves more than five stars! Their food is delicious and their customer service is on point. I love the vibe of their restaurant, feels very authentic. I got the chicken katsu mini meal and it's definitely a big portion of food! Highly recommend it, the chicken was perfect and the scoop of rice and macaroni salad were the right size. My husband and I also shared the crab Rangoon and spam musubi. Honestly their food is priced very fairly for the good portion that you get! Highly recommend!
First timer here I came in on a Saturday around 4 ish it's very small inside but has a decent seating area They have a great menu selection and great selection of drinks and pastries Customer service was great The guava cake was so good moist and not too sweet if your not into sweet things My husband got the chicken teriyaki bowl huge portions definitely shareable if you don't eat too much I got the aloha plate was also huge comes with three meats two scoops of white rice and macaroni salad it was all very delicious Will be back soon
Aloha Express Hawaiian BBQ is a fantastic new find on Old Fort Parkway. If you've been missing that authentic island vibe, this place hits the spot. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food truly captures that Hawaiian comfort spirit--making it a standout "gem" that doesn't quite feel like your typical Middle Tennessee eatery. The Highlights: * Aloha BBQ Mix Combo: The portions here are incredibly generous. I had the combination with the BBQ chicken and beef (Kalbi style). The grilled chicken was a highlight--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Kalbi beef was also great, reg beef is tender but personally a bit on the salty side; however, once you eat it with the white rice, it balances out . * The Sides: The combo comes with the classic scoops of rice and a solid macaroni salad, along with some steamed veggies. It's exactly the kind of plate lunch that transports you back to Hawaii. * Grilled Salmon Salad: My wife opted for the salmon salad and was very impressed. It came with two generous pieces of well-cooked salmon and a large portion of fresh greens. * The Sauces: They offer a great variety of dipping options. Between the ranch, the sweet glaze, and the spicy mayo (yum sauce), there's a flavor profile for everyone. The Experience: The service was really friendly and the overall vibe is very pleasant. It's the kind of place that leaves you satisfied both in terms of quality and quantity. They also have some tempting sweet options and appetizers like Spam Musubi and Takoyaki that I haven't tried yet but definitely plan to on the next visit. The Verdict: I'm very pleased with this first visit. If you're looking for quality Hawaiian BBQ with big portions and fair prices, Aloha Express is a must-try. I'm definitely coming back to explore more of the menu!
Food was delicious!! Service was great. Love the vibrant atmosphere. This is a just try!!!
Hawaiian food is amazing. Tastes so traditional and authentic. We have been here many times. Everything on the menu is good. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Aloha
Aloha is right. We live in Franklin, but will make the drive as often as possible to get the taste of Hawaii whenever we are missing the island. They know what they're doing and make you feel like Ohana the moment you walk in.
This place is great and everyone needs to know about it! I've only been a couple times so far but everything I've had has been awesome. Had the fish and shrimp combo and the BBQ mix, and both were fresh and delicious! Flavorful and cooked to perfection, couldn't have asked for better. Combos come with rice and macaroni salad which were great compliments on both platters. Portions are huge so you'll have plenty for a second meal. Staff were very nice, frequently walking around checking on people to see if anyone needed anything. Store is a little small but most people seemed to pick up and go so there were no problems getting a table. This will be a place I'll be frequenting for sure.
Okay, let me just say, the food is so good you'll be thinking about it all night long. We all got the same thing, the Aloha BBQ Mix and let me tell you, it was amazing. Now, if meat is an option, I'm not ordering chicken. Why? Because it feels wrong, that's why. Sacrilegious. Abomination. You get my point. But when I tasted this chicken. Oh my goodness, it was so good, I didn't realize it was chicken. Let me tell you, that chicken was amazing. AMAZING. The beef. AMAZING. Everything had salt and was seasoned. Thank you! The rice. AMAZING. I have one complaint. The Macaroni Salad was plain. I was expecting it to be a little sweet, but it wasn't so it threw me all the way off. I smothered it in the two sauces that came with it. That made it a lot better. Cause them sauces are... they good. They really good. Anyways, I'll be back cause that food was amazing. It was AMAZING. Don't change a thing! Except maybe they Macaroni Salad recipe, BUT NOTHING ELSE! NOTHING! IT IS AMAZING! Also, I hate cabbage, but that cabbage was good. Seriously, CHANGE NOTHING!
The food is absolutely amazing and has so much flavor. We tried it for the first time today, definitely going back! Super sweet staff and the owner is the sweetest. Everything was fresh and delicious we tried a lot of different dishes and they were all sooo good. Please give this place a try!
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! It's got a pretty simple dining area, but the food was INCREDIBLE. The plate in the photo cost $14 and was easily enough for 2 meals. The food was all super flavorful...even the mac salad, which is often flavorless at many places. We're visiting from out of town and will likely return before we head home - it's a GREAT value, the service was quick and friendly, with the owner noticing we were getting ready to leave and bringing us a bag for our leftovers before we could even as. 10/10, definitely recommend! Wish we had one close to home!

I rarely leave reviews, but Aloha Express absolutely earned this one. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely made me feel appreciated as a customer. The atmosphere was clean, inviting, and had a great vibe that made the whole experience even better. The food completely exceeded every expectation I had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It's not often that a restaurant truly blows you away, but Aloha Express did exactly that. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. If you're thinking about trying this place, don't hesitate--you won't be disappointed. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and a fantastic atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing meal. read more
I was instantly excited to try Aloha Express when I saw and smelled the food. I tried the fish and shrimp combo and the entire plate was delicious! It comes with rice and the best macaroni salad ever! The BBQ chicken Musubi was so juicy and went perfectly with the yum yum and teriyaki sauce. For dessert I tried the ube brownie and the ube cookies and wow I should have bought more. Both were absolute heaven. I was extremely sad to finish each item as it was all so good. The servers were very welcoming from the beginning and so helpful when I was ordering. I love the casual seating, you can also take your food to go or even sit outside. read more

I'm a big fan of Hawaiian BBQ and this hit the spot tonight. The spare ribs will always be my favorite alongside Mac salad. There is something to be said for Hawaiian food when the food is good and service is great. It's not a big establishment, but they were super friendly and it was very clean. It was a popular place for a Saturday night too. The food was delicious and everything was priced fairly. read more
Aloha Express is a great place for a great lunch. We thought we would give it a try and we were very pleased. Very efficient order taking, reasonable prep time, and delivery to the table. The fresh ingredients and the kitchen produced a tasty lunch with generous portions. Clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated dining room made for a relaxing lunch. read more

This was my second visit to Aloha Express, and both times have been great! There isn't a lot of seating, so be prepared to wait or share a table if it's busy. The employees are very attentive and helpful, and the food is cooked to order and always fresh. The chicken was moist and perfectly cooked, and while the beef was a little saltier than I'm used to, it was still very flavorful and delicious. The mac salad is simply amazing! I'll definitely be back. read more

I used to live in Hawaii and this is as legit as it gets! The restaurant is small inside but has plenty of seating. The ambiance is pure Aloha. The servers are attentive and do a great job of getting you authentic food as quickly as possible always providing plenty of delicious sauces. The food is simply awesome. The Spam musubi is a must if you love traditional island food. The shrimp, fried rice, and mac salad are all amazing. Also, they give you a tremendous amount of food for your money. read more
My visit to Aloha Express Hawaiian BBQ was awesome! Went to the counter, asked a couple of questions, and decided on the Chicken Katsu...I'm glad I did not get any appetizers. The meal they serve is HUGE and as you can see where I separated the chicken from the rice & pasta...there's a bunch of food. The chicken is moist and tender, with a crispy crunch from the breading. I dipped in the katsu sauce and what a combination...the sweet with the chicken was perfect. I really enjoyed this dish! The fried rice...cooked perfectly and plenty of it. The pasta salad is very interesting, and I knew immediately what made it different and special...the addition of tuna. I could not finish this meal and there was plenty to take home. Notice the cake counter...these are all made locally and look delicious...maybe next time. I met Jenny (one of the owners) who took my order and chatted with me a bit later on...very sweet lady and you can tell she is excited to bring this to Murfreesboro. What I really noticed...she really cares for her customers and is teaching this to her staff too! Great food and excellent service...took me way too long to visit this spot. read more

First time here! I am a local and been wanting to try this place since it's first open! We got the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and then Teriyaki Chicken! We subbed fried rice and it was amazing! Only downside was mac salad was nothing to write about, might not even get it next time and I wish we could sub to Hawaiian fried rice (I don't care about upcharge) read more

What a great find. Being from SoCal, we have lots of great Hawaiian Food places to choose from. There are none in Franklin, where we visit our daughter's family. My wife is from Oahu, Hawaii and was skeptical about driving 24 miles to try this place out. But, since it was on the way to the Murfreesboro Costco it was worth a try before hitting Costco. This place is legit!! We ordered chicken katsu, Kalua pork, kalbi, and loco moco. All were as good as any we've had on the west coast or in Hawaii. The kalbi was meaty (not fatty) and tender. The katsu was cooked perfectly and not dry, and the Kalua pork was delicious. The place was busy at 1 PM on Sunday but the service was fast, efficient, and friendly. They even came around to ask how we were doing. Definitely have a touch of the aloha vibe. You must try this place if you are in the area. Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. BTW- the guava cake and island cake are delicious, too! read more
