Loco Moco
Joelle C.

Whenever we are traveling, finding a Hawaiian restaurant for some loco Moco is high on our list. We were excited to find Aloha Hawaiian BBQ on a recent trip to Ann Arbor. We stopped in around lunchtime and were greeted right away. You place your order at the counter and then they bring it out to you when it's ready. The restaurant itself is pretty drab. So if you are looking for a nice sit down restaurant, this is not it. They seem to do mostly carry out and food delivery service orders. We both ordered the loco Moco and we always remember after we start eating that we need to share. lol Overall the dish was good. We both felt that the hamburger patties could have been seasoned better and the egg less overcooked. The rice was the perfect level of stickiness and the macaroni salad was really good and perfectly creamy. We both thought the macaroni salad was the best part of the dish. We would eat here again, just share the dish next time.

Kalbi Short Ribs
Vikash K.

Was really excited to try this place. The kalbi portion was good, 2 scoops of rice and 3 strips of Kalbi and side of Mac and cheese. $19 The kalbi was little too bland. Wish it was a bit sweeter and more flavorful. The Mac and cheese was also on the bland side. Also for dining in, the food comes out in a to go box so trying to cut the ribs was little difficult. But overall friendly staff, clean restaurant and food comes out pretty quick

Aloha is a unique restaurant, unlike any other I've seen in the state. This restaurant serves traditional Hawaiian plate lunch. I liked the macaroni salad and chicken katsu the most. Very reasonable prices, especially for Ann Arbor, and large portions.

Spring rolls

Ordered the Chicken Teriyaki and spring rolls through DoorDash. The sauce was the right amount and the chicken was done perfectly. I also ordered a side of white rice to go with it. It was delicious and the chicken just fell apart with my fork. That's when you know it was done perfectly! The service was pretty fast for the DoorDasher to pick it up. And everything was well packaged up. Thank you! Next time I am in the area I will stop in and eat inside. I will be back!

Sizeable portions for a reason price! I ordered the Chicken Combo which came with chicken BBQ and chicken katsu along with traditional Hawaiian macaroni salad. Taste is pretty good and portions are just right for the amount paid. I also ordered the spam musubi which consisted of 2 large musubi, which is a perfect appetizer for two. Food was service was quick and it came out hot. We dined in and observed a steady stream of takeout orders. The interior is clean, very casual nothing impressive but what mattered the most for us was the quality and portion of food.

Chicken Katsu

The Service was fast and we were served pretty quickly. The food was made to order and the chicken katsu plate was worth it! If you've ever had L&L Hawaiian BBQ, this is very close if not along the same level! We enjoyed the combo plate. A good amount of seating available too! We will come back again when visiting Ann Arbor! GR needs a place like this!

What can I say the food is phenomenal! A nice refresher from the same old same old food. I've tried every meat they have to offer and I just can't get enough! The bbq chicken is so tender and juicy. The katsu is perfected with the sauce! The Hawaiian drinks are a must try. I for one love the macaroni salad. I def recommended getting a combo plate to try as much as possible. There is plenty of parking. The place has tables inside. It's a cute little spot to just go and hang with friends. I really want to try the sushi and ramen next but I well ordering meats over and over and it never gets old! The service isn't quick but it's a reasonable time for the quality so just chill and wait for amazing food!

Loco Moco

Got delivery from here and it exceeded expectations! We got the Aloha BBQ mix with BBQ beef, chicken, and kalbi short rib, a Loco Moco, and spam musubi. All the meats in the BBQ mix were fantastic - very tender, savory, sweet, smokey. The loco moco was good, kind of felt like eating a cheeseburger of sorts, maybe could've had more of the brown gravy. The spam musubi was ok, and better with the sweet glaze that came with it. Each of the mains came with rice and macaroni salad. The latter was creamy but not too heavy with a lighter flavor to let the meats shine. Also got a strawberry guava juice to try - good but too sweet for me. Delivery was fast and the food arrived hot. Portions are generous - we could've split one entree between two but wanted to try more. We're full and with leftovers!

Outside

Found the place by accident, but looks like the old Chopsticks Chinese restaurant folded and Aloha took over. I can't tell if the owners changed or not, however interior remains the same as before, nothing changed inside. Glad to see a new restaurant type opening up in Ann Arbor, always open to diversity of food offerings. I stopped by, ordered: - Aloha BBQ Mix - Spam Musubi (2 pcs) Let's start with Musuhi. This item by itself, I would give zero out of 5 stars. It was basically spam on top of rice wrapped with nori. Sadly, the rice was not seasoned, but they could gotten away with that had they added some teriyaki sauce between the rice and the spam, but yeah plain vanilla flavor as it can get unfortunately. Would not recommend unless they make the changes. Aloha BBQ Mix - comes with macaroni salad, two scopes of rice, beef, chicken thighs and one kalbi. Macaroni - no seasoning, very bland. Kalbi - very chewy Sliced Beef - perfectly seasoned and something that I would get again Chicken - decent, while juicy and moist, could use more seasoning Overall, decent new restaurant and look forward to their offerings. In addition to the Hawaiian bbq options, they have udon, ramen, fried seafood and sushi rolls. For now, I give them 3 out of 5, honestly no major "wow" factor after initial first visit. I know they just opened, so as they work on their operational issues, hopefully things will improve.

Chicken katsu
Ainsley E.

Ordered delivery so it always takes a bit of a hit in freshness. One thing I can say about this place is it seems like a great value for the money. The spam musubi were serviceable, maybe a bit too much rice imo, and usually there is some type of glaze on them, I feel like? I'd order again if I had a spam craving though. Chicken katsu MINI was a huge portion, like I could only eat half and I have a big appetite. It was fine. The only bummer was the macaroni salad. Super bland (just noodles and sauce, no veg mixed in for texture) and it was warm from being in the container with the katsu. Maybe have it packed in a separate little container for delivery? We'll be trying this place again probably but it didn't blow me away by any means.

Bbq chicken, chicken katsu, Mac salad, and spam musubi
Bongwater J.

This place is fire. Grilled chicken and the bbq pork are both bananas level good. I could also eat like 50 of the spam Musubis. Someone pay for 50 of them and drop them off at my house so I can gratuitously shove them into my mouth.

I am so allergic to shrimp - wish they would be more careful with the cross contamination.

My fiend got reservations for us at this wonderful restaurant. When I arrived I was pleasantly…read moregreeted by the hostess and offered to take my coat. I really lived her ambiance here as it was dimly lit, but great modern accents. The server was extremely nice and had a wonderful knowledge of the menu. I started with a seasonal cocktail where they had homemade syrups and it was delicious. We ordered the steamed mushroom dumplings along with salted whitefish fritters. Both starters got us ready for our amazing dinner we were about to embark on. My friend ordered h tu r salmon and I ordered the duck breast. It was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor. Such a cute restaurant in the heart of Ann Arbor

My friends and I chose this as a great fine dining option and this place has two sides, appetizers…read moreand entrees, and let me explain. The appetizers were very weird and kind of strange. Lets talk individually Beef Tartare: It didn't taste like TarTare, I expect a more raw earthy taste and I felt like I was eating smashed spaghetti sauce Mushroom Dumplings: The dumplings were SUPER DOUGHY and the innards were not very filled Ceviche: This was the standout, it was flavored well and had solid presentation Mussels: A bit too buttery and watery for me, I like it a bit more bold and with character Now for the Entrees: Broccolini: out of the park gorgeous, the lemon vinagarette had the zest that I look for and the broccolini had the crunchy and chewy texture I expect Salmon: 100/10: hands down BEST salmon I've EVER eaten at a restaurant. It had a crunchy exterior with a juicy inside, presented beautifully on top of a jerusalem artichoke sauce that was creamy and vibrant. The entrees were fantastic and would love to eat here again
