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.

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!

Chicken Katsu mini meal

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!

Shrimp & BBQ Chicken Combo

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.

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.

Staff were so incredibly nice and helpful! The food was flavorful and came out so fast!!! The portion sizes are huge, over all we will be back. Just bring a jacket because the inside is freezing!!!

Hawaiian bbq beef
Breanna H.

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!

Hawaiian BBQ CHK

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)

Cashea S.

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.

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.

BBQ Beef Marconi Salad
Christina C.

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.

See all

Mission BBQ - 2 Meat Sampler: Brisket / Pulled Pork

Mission BBQ

(223 reviews)

$$

While my Yelp reviews are becoming fewer (old age and physical limitations)...I'm always very happy…read moreto give a shout-out to a true 5 Star business. Mission BBQ is exactly that. Stopped in for lunch today and was greeted enthusiastically and warmly by no fewer than 3 different courteous employees. I truly did feel welcome. Parking was a breeze - Handicap spots right outside the front door and plenty more in the spacious lot. Indoor and outdoor seating (a bit chilly today so I stayed inside.) Menu is large - both in readability (on wall behind cashier) and number of options. I was on the lookout for brisket - one of my faves, especially having been a cattle farmer for nearly 30 years.) Hands down, today's brisket was on top of the heap. And a generous heap of beef it was...4 tender, juicy, succulent, flavorful, black-crusted thick slices that spilled out over the edges of the bun. Didn't really need the bun...it was perfect on its own. And, yes, I'll order it again. Sides I ordered today were fairly common - fries that were hot and fresh out of the fryer and really savory baked beans (also loaded withs chunks of meat. Good golly! Wish I had time and room for more...but that will happen in the near future when I venture back to Murfreesboro. By the way, an announcement came over the music-laden speakers at noon, asking patrons to rise for their traditional 12:00 playing of the National Anthem. An unexpected occurrence - but appreciated since I am a veteran. Mission BBQ....mission accomplished!

This is a reliable BBQ spot. The flavor has been consistent every time we have been. Probably the…read morebest all round BBQ spot in the Murfreesboro area. Service is always top notch. You only get 2 bones of ribs with a 2 meat platter if you choose one meat as ribs. Was a bit disappointed to see the smallest ribs when I got my tray. Would be nice if they at least cut the large ones or 2 bones worth of meat instead of 1. If you are there at 12 noon be prepared to stand for the national anthem. Very cool that they do that. OH and the strawberry shortcake was delicious!

We heard great things about this place from others; listen to the reviews! There is a huge outdoor yard where there are tables set up to dine outside. There are also special events nights where there is live music outside. This is a great place to bring family on a summer/fall night. The food was incredibly filling and hit the spot. The prices were also very reasonable for the portion sizes. They have three different types of homemade sweet tea as well. You need to try them! Lastly, we had the honor of meeting the man himself, Ray, who owns this place. He was such a kind and personable man who showed us true Southern hospitality. Ray sat down and talked with us over a meal where we got to hear the origins of this place. This small business is an all-around amazing place to hang out, fulfill your BBQ needs, and get to know Ray, who will brighten your day. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It is very much worth the drive outside the city.

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Korean Seafood Tofu and Thai Tom Yum

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

(47 reviews)

I LOVE the Kpot chain and this location is excellent!…read more We had a pretty big party and they were able to get us in without a reservation within 20 minutes. Our waitress was REALLY hard working and I could feel her stress. I told her to relax, she's doing great. It was probably a bad idea to bring so many people here that have never been to a Kpot before. Even I was overwhelmed! However, she was great and through it all, the staff here were phenomenal with so much back and forth of what people ordered. I definitely will stick to 4 or less people from now on haha. The food was fresh and delicious and I loved loved LOVED the curry based broth, something we don't have in Raleigh, NC. I will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

Having both options at one table is a total win, especially for a group with different tastes. The Highlights: * Better Quality Meats: Compared to some other AYCE (All You Can Eat) spots, the meat quality here is definitely a step up. * Must-Order Cuts: The Galbi is flavorful and tender, and the KPOT Steak is another standout--it's high-quality and cooks up perfectly on the grill. * Spacious Vibes: This place is huge! It's very spacious for big parties, so if you're bringing the whole family or a large group of friends, you won't feel like you're squeezed in. The Tech & Service: * iPad Ordering: I love the convenience of ordering from the iPad right at the table. It makes the process feel seamless. * One at a Time: Just a heads up--even if you order multiple quantities of an item, they tend to still only bring one out at a time. It can slow things down a bit when you're hungry, but it does help prevent food waste. * The Sauce Bar: The sauce area is fantastic with tons of options, though it can get pretty crowded during peak hours. You might have to time your trip to the bar strategically! Overall: The prices are decent for the amount and quality of food you get. It's a reliable, fun experience that keeps our family coming back.

I tried Arisu which is another KBBQ restaurant but didn't really like the vibe there. It's the complete opposite here at Fire KBBQ! Honestly loved the vibe they have going on. My family and I just went here for lunch today and it was overall a good experience minus a few hiccups. I will say their service is a bit lacking. Usually service for KBBQ is pretty quick because they're not the ones doing the cooking. But here it was kind of slow. Our waitress was nice , not sure if they had too many customers and not enough staff. Our grill also had issues lighting the first couple times we ordered our proteins until eventually it just gave out and we ended up having to move tables in the middle of our meal which was a little off putting. The food was good though. At least most of the items we tried. My top faves are defiantly the corn cheese and the spicy beef bulgogi. The regular beef bulgogi is good too. Marinated nicely and had a lot of flavor. The dishes I would probably skip on next time would be the rice cake, potato salad and spicy shrimp. Rice cake was bland. The potato salad isn't like the typical Korean potato salad you get at authentic KBBQ and the spicy shrimp didn't have much flavor. Overall our experience at Fire Korean BBQ was good and I would come back to try their other menu items. They have a lot of good options to choose from other than the unlimited KBBQ.
