I have no idea why the rating is only around 3.7 stars here, because it DESERVES more. Came in pretty late with a friend and they were semi busy. They took around 45 minutes to finish our order so I was a bit impatient by the time the food came out, but boy was it worth the wait! The chicken katsu was fried so perfectly and my chicken salad was grilled with a perfect little charred outside and a tender inside. Spam musubi was great as well (though this one is hard to mess up anyways). I would skip the dumplings, I think they're just some reheated ones, nothing crazy. We loved the entrees though. My friend is from Oahu as well, and he said it was very authentic. The ambiance was great as well, we sat outside and it was nice and cool once the sun had set. Inside was decorated very cute too. Overall decent prices for amazing food, we would definitely come again. read more

Great little hole in the wall gem we found in one of the alleys in historic downtown Flagstaff for dinner on Thursday night before heading back down to Phoenix. Plenty of table seating for customers, and a lot of to-go orders and catering service coming in and out as well.

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ in Flagstaff is a no-frills spot that approaches what can be found in Hawaii. Let's be honest though, we're in a landlocked state. This is the only Hawaiian joint in Flagstaff, so whenever I have a craving, I go! It's also not a chain, so I love supporting a local spot! I feel like the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous, giving you plenty of bang for your buck. Their menu is filled with a lot of options. I really like the 1/2 and 1/2 plate to try a few things. You pick the meats and then it comes with mac salad, rice, and cabbage. The fried items can sometimes be a little overcooked depending on the day, but it's nothing that'll keep me away. The BBQ beef, fish, and chicken katsu are some of my favs. Note that this place can get busy, especially at night. They have seating inside, but it can quickly fill up. read more

When in town this place is a must. The Mix BBQ plate and an order of coconut shrimp! Highly recommend this place and prices are decent. Customer service is great and friendly staff always. read more

This is always a must go to destination when I am Flagstaff, Arizona. Although this time I wasn't quite as happy with what I ordered. I typically get a BBQ chicken plate, but this time decided to try the fried rice. For me it wasn't great, but it was a hearty, large serving of food, prepared and served fast and fresh. I just didn't love the taste, but my daughter did. She had a small chicken Katsu plate and we both really enjoyed that one. This won't stop me from coming back I'll just stick with the more traditional Hawaiian style food. read more

My son and I were visiting from Prescott, we have a Hawaiian BBQ place near the courthouse, when you compare it to that place to this place, omg! Makes me relived that we have the better tasting Hawaiian BBQ place in Prescott. The portions at this Flagstaff location were smaller, the soy sauce they use in the packets... idk what those were but watered down soy sauce, I didn't taste a thing over my rice, it made it taste even more bland, the chicken katsu was OK, kind of hard around the edges and the macaroni salad, again.. BLAND. My son got an order of the pork buns, the buns were very bland, tasted like flavorless bread, and the pork stuffing tasted on the dryer side. Service was fine, nothing special. It's kind of in a junky building down a corner, again, I'm comparing this to our Hawaiian BBQ place that is clean, delicious tasting food with larger portions. read more

This place is alright ... not so good for pick up but if you're walking around downtown flg and want something different it's a good place to stop by. read more

This place is very lowkey with cafeteria style seating. You can either dine in or do takeout, but you pay for your meal in advance. Asked the locals, and they all suggested this place to visit. It's a busy spot when we went around dinner time on a Tuesday night. We ordered the grilled island fish (the healthier meal section), which comes with a side of salad and brown rice. Also, got the BBQ chicken that tasted like something you would get at Panda Express. It was really sweet, it comes with rice and macaroni salad (this was really good). An order of malasadas and 2 pieces of Musubis. Overall, the food met expectations, but it didn't exceed it. The food was fresh, and you can see them cooking everything in front of you. read more

I don't have a personal fondness for Hawaiian bbq, so maybe I'm just uncultured, but I wasn't very impressed. First I should say the staff was very friendly and helpful, the place was clean, and as a business it's a good place. But for me the price to taste ratio just wasn't it. The portions were a good amount to where I left full and with leftovers. The food itself wasn't bad by any means, it just wasn't anything special or memorable to where I'm looking forward to going back again anytime soon. Overall, if you like Hawaiian it's probably super good read more

A college town favorite. Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is crafting up island eats in the middle of downtown Flagstaff. This spot is well known for having the best Hawaiian food in town.. which you could easily tell from the 20+ college students waiting in line for takeout on a Saturday night. I ordered a number of dishes to go, including their katsu, spam masubi, and dumplings. The wait was 40+ minutes, but I had zero regrets. My first bite was literal perfection. Their katsu was lightly breaded with just the right amount of crisp. This plate was also served with a scoop of rice and mac salad. Unlike other Hawaiian concepts, their menu is pretty diverse with options like boba, steamed dumplings, and burgers. I'll no doubt be returning for future meals and can't wait to explore their boba menu. read more

Island vibes with music and aloha (love) right away! Good food, quick and inexpensive. Food was served fast, hot and made to order. Mahalo (Thanks) for a little taste of home in Flagstaff!! Manapua are on the smaller side, good that it's a four pack. Spam Musubi was Ono (tasty). We would definitely come back! read more

When strolling through Downtown Flagstaff on a weeknight around dinner time, I popped into Aloha for a BBQ chicken plate. Ordering was quick and easy with few pleasantries exchanged. The chicken was surprisingly lean as lots of Hawaiian places have fatty meat, but it lacked the flavor you might expect from barbecued chicken, and didn't come with any marinade or sauce unless you ask for some on the side. The white rice was also a bit on the stale side. The macaroni salad was tasty and fresh, though it had lots of lettuce pieces in it which was not ideal. Overall, decent quality at a reasonable price, but there was nothing that would make you rush back for seconds. read more

Tonight me and the husband wanted to branch out and try somewhere new, and omg this restaurant was absolutely perfect, the beef, veggie and rice bowl totally hit the spot... wanted to take pictures but after the first bite it was over with lol... the beef just melted in your mouth, the taste once it hit the tongue was like having a full blown party ... I totally recommend this spot in Flagstaff, I do also want to say I called to get information being a new customer... the employee was super wonderful and helped answers the questions I had, and did some recommendations... well 5 stars if could give more I would, great job Aloha Hawaiian BBQ we will be back to check out some other menu items... read more

We did 2 orders of the 1/2 & 1/2 of chicken katsu and short ribs. The chicken was excellent as usual, but the ribs were so tough we couldn't eat them. We will stick with the beef next time, it's always tender and eatable. The short ribs definitely were not worth the $3.50 extra. Maybe we just got a bad batch, but we won't be trying them again. read more

SO GOOD! It is hidden, and near so many small shops. Absolutely loved the quality of food and the service. Very kind to first time visitors. The place is cute and cozy. Absolutely so cute to sit down with friends and chat. The food was hot and so good. The portions were perfect and definitely worth the price. There were various options for everyone to enjoy. From BOBA to Fried Rice to Musubi and of course the delicious chicken options. We'll definitely come back for sure! read more

Fair - probably closer to 3.5 stars. We tried this place with the family (myself, wife, two young daughters) on the way out of town. If you've ever been to Ono in the Phoenix area, it seems that they are kind of styled after them. Their bbq chicken was decent, mac salad was good. Everything needed some sauce for dipping, but there was none to be found. My daughters always insist on having some soy sauce with their rice, but there wasn't any visible - packets, etc. Good menu, fairly clean.... 3.5 stars. read more

Food is absolutely delicious and the staff is always friendly to me and my family! Gotta try the Chicken Katsu

I went to karma sushi next door with my girlfriend and spent 40 minutes waiting for 4 pieces of chicken which costed 12 dollars absolutely dog ass. We went here after leaving that place we went here got 20 pieces of chicken sauce and two scoops of rice for 12 dollars. Place was a lil run down but that just mean the place is fire read more

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ - BBC chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Tucked away in a shopping center down a side street between the start of Downtown and Heritage Square you can find Aloha among a small strip of restaurants. We tried to ask some questions around the menu since it was our first time but the staff wasn't particularly inclined to take the time to share their favorites and just directed us to a combo plate which was a bit of a bummer. We just chalked it up to them being busy. The quality of food was great and made up for it. I decided to try the BBQ chicken. It was tender, flavorful, and ready quick! They cook right behind the ordering counter so it can get a bit warm during the summer, I think I'd prefer takeout next time since they only have one patio table but overall a great choice for Hawaiian BBQ. read more

We got a take out order from here during COVID times (May 2020). Wow, it was AMAZING! It was so good I had to go back in after we ate and thank them for their amazing and delicious food. We got the spare ribs, beef bowl, and bbq chicken. The bbq chicken was mine and was the star! I want the recipe. It was simple yet so flavorful! Also, we got some musubi which my dad absolutely loves. The portion sizes on everything were large and filling! The calories are listed on the menu which I really appreciated and they let me substitute out some of the carb heavy rice for other items. Friendly service, fresh and hot food, good sized portions and it quick! The food was so quick! I thought the prices were very good as well. We so lucked out eating here of all the places we could have eaten in Flagstaff. This one was fantastic! read more

Great service, pricing, portion. Hard to beat when you're looking for takeout on a short lunch break. My wife and I have sat in before when I get longer lunches and the tables / chairs are always clean and there are always high chairs available for my son. The spam fried rice, chicken Katsu and the taro boba are my favorite! read more

It's a cool spot, although I can't get past the part that the employees don't actually keep their tips. This is confirmed, I've tried to sneak in a little cash to them but they had to say no because of the camera. It's not like the employees can say anything about it either which is messed up. The owner was working the register one day and she stated that she keeps the tips. The workers are really sweet and helpful, help them out. Pro tip, tip your employees. read more

Quaint little plate lunch/Hawaiian place. Were were looking for something quick and tasty. It had all of the standards. We got some spam musubi which was as it should be. The teriyaki chicken combo was good. Prices weren't outrageous. Service was fine - you order at the counter and they call your number so really nothing you could do wrong or right. Could be a little cleaner/updated but it fits the Flagstaff vibe pretty well. Would definitely return. read more

Had to give a big shout for these folks! Every time we are traveling through town we have to stop here! We've been here about 5 times in the last few years. This time I had Kalua Pork & cabbage, just great! My companion had the BBQ mix plate, (ribs, chicken,&beef). This trip, we were the only folks in the place (more came later), so our food came quite fast. The portions are very generous, plus you get the rice and mac salad. We asked the owner(?} if she could change the music (college stuff), we asked if she had "Israel" on her playlist, she did and put it on for us!! THANKS!! See you next trip through! read more

Ate the chicken chow mien and I knew something was off when it tasted bland and old and I'm paying the price for it I had to end my night 2 hours after eating the food from this place because I was sick and throwing up I'm a 6 ft 200 lbs man and I'm known by my family for having an iron stomach so something must've been severely wrong with the food. On a better note I'm better now and my girlfriend's chick katsu wasn't that bad the chicken was completely different than what was in my chow which was wack asf. read more

This is a place that I really wanted to like ... love, even, but I went away so disappointed with my meal. We came here at about 8:30 pm about 6 weeks ago during our road trip from ATL to Los Angeles. After checking into a local motel, I wanted to eat in Downtown Flagstaff. My parents were both born in Hawaii, and I really love good Hawaiian food (and I KNOW what is good Hawaiian food), so I dragged R here expecting to get great food. Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is way in the back of Gateway Plaza, a pedestrian plaza (you can't drive through) in Downtown Flagstaff. I found free street parking (because it was late) one street over from the restaurant. Aloha Hawaiian BBQ has a small outside patio, but it was still hot outside, so we were going to sit inside. There were people seated at tables inside, waiting for their food, and there wasn't a line of people at the counter. Because of this, we were able to take our time reviewing the menu, which had a lot of items on it. Customer service was lacking; the woman behind the counter wasn't very helpful whenever we asked her questions about the food. It seemed like she just wanted to just take the orders and ring people up, and didn't have time to answer questions or provide helpful suggestions. I ordered the BBQ short ribs and R ordered the Kalua Pork with Cabbage. I also ordered the Spam Musubi appetizer. We waited for about 20 minutes, taking pics inside the restaurant and planning for the next day's travels, before our food was ready. The food actually looked delicious, but, in this case, looks were very deceiving. Two good scoops of white steamed rice, a scoop of macaroni salad, and three strips (6 bones) of short ribs. The short ribs were cooked perfectly, lacked the marinated flavor (like teriyaki), and, the more I ate, the more I realized that the meat had an awful "old" flavor, like this meat had been in the freezer too long before it was cooked. I stopped eating the short ribs and threw them away. The rice and the macaroni salad were good. I tried R's Kalua Pork with cabbage, and the pork was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor. The Spam Musubi was quite tasty, though, and it was a good portion, with two rolls provided in one order. It was easy for us to split. I definitely suggest getting the spam musubi, and trying anything else on the menu, but stay away from the BBQ short ribs and the Kalua Pork with cabbage. read more
