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.

The young man explained…read moretheir menu and which items were customer favorites and also some of his as well we proceeded to order some brisket and dry rub ribs and a couple of drinks. After paying we took a seat and waited a few minutes for the food to arrive. When it came out we were given a choice of sauces and we elected to try a couple. Now for the reason we went. The brisket was tender, moist , and well smoked. They use a dry rub on both the brisket and the pork and it works well for both meats we tried. The ribs were also tender and tasty and done just the way I like them-bite off the bone. Ribs are overcooked in my opinion when they "fall off the bone" because they aren't ribs at that point! Being from Texas, we complemented them before we left and even gave another customer a quick opinion of how good the barbecue was. You may note that I'm not reviewing any sides because if the meat is as good as this was you don't need any sides. Their sauce is good, not too sweet and they have a sweeter option as well as a hot (habanero) sauce that is also good. If you need a good barbecue fix and you are in Ann Arbor you can't go wrong with Satchel's.

Next time we will just do the hot pot because there's so many options for it. Everything was fresh and clean, we were very pleased and thought the food was delicious. We told our waiter it was our first time there and he explained everything but it was really fast. We were able to eventually figure things out, but we made a mess. The pricing was a little confusing, but it's an all you can eat place and we expected it would be on the higher end and would have to pay extra to take leftovers home. We definitely plan to return!

The bathrooms are also clean and I was surprised that the bathrooms have the green/red "vacant" and "occupied" feature. There a buffet style station in the back that has all the sauces, desserts, fruit, and fried food. There's a cooler with individual ice cream (strawberry, mint, vanilla, chocolate) and wooden spoon palettes. My only complaint is that the grill took so long so our meat took forever to cook. Service was pretty good. If we needed anything, we would ask and it would be provided. We needed a couple grill changes.

Jacob came over and apologized noting there was a mix up(it happens) we got our drink and food order and had our drinks almost immediately after. He then apologized once more for the wait and made sure the first round was on them. Mistakes happen but it's how you take care of them that really matters. The food was absolutely incredible. I'm probably more of a bbq snob than I should be, and am generally disappointed if it's not better than I make at home. I've had bbq all over the country and this place is absolutely in my top 5 on food alone, but the service and taking care of the customer was fantastic as well.

About 10 minutes past the hour I checked and apparently trivia had been cancelled. Not going to lie - I was a bit disappointed but was not that bothered, the glass of wine I had was nice and the vibes were cool so I was happy to just sit there and read my book. When it came time to pay, I asked the bartender for my check (she had been working like crazy all night) and she said the glass of wine was on the house since I had come for trivia and it was cancelled. SO SWEET. I was with my dad and we both talked about how nice, albeit unnecessary, it was. The food smelled fantastic when I was in there and after the lovely interaction I had, this will be top on my list next time I want to grab dinner out. Big thanks to whoever the bartender was this evening - she deserves a raise!

Legitimately good tacos made with the BBQ from Blue Tractor. We came two months after they opened…read moreon a Sunday around 5 and were the only people in the place the entire time. This is odd because the food is good, the prices are decent, and service came with a smile. Enter under the Mash awning and turn left. This is in the former back/overflow room for Blue Tractor. Head to the counter to order, grab your silverware and drink, and take your number to a table to wait. The food comes out quickly. We ordered chips and guacamole to start. At first it's in your face with a combination of lime and salt, but after the second chip it's delicious. I do wish the guacamole and tomatoes were chopped into smaller pieces, but the flavor is stellar. The brisket on my taco was very fatty. Don't get me wrong, I know fat is flavor and the bark on their brisket is possibly heaven sent, but I can only take the texture of fat to a certain extent and I'm grossed out. I left some of the fat on my tray. It pairs well with the roasted tomato salsa. The pulled pork taco is excellent. The ingredients work well together, with the combination of crunchy and chewy textures and the pickled pepper relish with tangy lime slaw creating a wonderful flavor profile. When we return I'll only order one taco if we get chips and guacamole. Enjoy!

3, bordering on 4 stars as I know that they're brand new and hopefully will improve some things…read moreover time. I've gone 3 times now for happy hour. I'll start with what I would consider to be the areas to improve: 1. They have an email signup form promoted on the website that advertises a free taco when you sign up. Great! I tried to do it and when I asked about it there they were like, yeah we might send out discounts or coupons in the future. Just a wildly misleading promo. 2. The pricing for happy hour margs is odd. On the website it advertised 36 oz margs for $5, and when I went in I was asked what size I wanted. I said "whatever is on the happy hour menu" and I was told that both sizes were. What does that mean? Both of them are $5? 3. 2 out of the 3 times I went the margs were served on the rocks instead of frozen because the machine hadn't frozen them yet 4. It seems like there are some major kitchen issues with getting food out on time - I overheard a table waiting a really long time for their tacos Now for the positives: 1. Margs are great, and even though the pricing is very odd and unclear what is certain is that they're a good deal 2. Nice people working 3. Good hot sauces (hell yeah tapatio and Valentina!!!) 4. I like the system of ordering at a register and getting to choose your own table, makes it a more casual/fluid dining experience imo. 5. Guac is great and they are not stingy with the chips, that's for sure. Overall there are definitely some major kinks to work out, but I think it definitely has 4-5 star potential.
