Stressed. It was loud! Seems like the owner's family is holding a daycare at the restaurant. Kids are crying, running back and forth, yelling from one side to the other. Ring, Ring, Ring! go's the counter bell. Food was good. Atmosphere terrible. Last words... the Salinas curse. read more

Never again. I had stopped coming here ever since they opened Haiku Hawaiian BBQ. Anyway, the food was not fresh! I ordered chicken Katsu and the chicken was either old or over fried because it was hard. The rice was either made the day before or early in the morning because it was not warm and very dry. The mac salad which is my favorite had no flavor and so over cooked you couldn't eat it with a fork AND to top it off they are so skimp with food, nothing compared to Haiku but good thing because we didn't finish this food anyway. Owner needs to make major adjustments. read more

This local Hawaiian restaurant is one of my mom's favorite places to go. She tends to get the laulau and I came along with her to get saimin. The saimin hit the spot and now I'm content. The other reason my mom loves to come here is Maria and the friendly service. I enjoyed the holiday music and everything was nice and clean. There's a clean bathroom down the hallway for customers. read more

**Aloha Hawaiian BBQ Review** We stumbled upon Aloha Hawaiian BBQ by accident. We usually place orders for pickup from another Hawaiian BBQ restaurant in Salinas but, in a rush, we placed our order at Aloha instead. I didn't realize the mix-up until it was time to pick up our food and noticed the reviews while entering the address on Google Maps. My heart sank, as the reviews were significantly lower than other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants we frequent. Long story short, we had our food and were thrilled! I don't understand why this restaurant has negative reviews for their food quality. Unlike many other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, Aloha's food isn't overly sweet. The mac salad nicely seasoned, the chicken katsu sauce was savory with good consistency, and the chicken katsu and musubi were perfectly prepared, portions The portions were good, providing great value for the price. I've been to a lot of Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, both on the mainland and in Hawaii, and this place is excellent. The savory flavors really stood out and made for an exceptional meal. We will definitely be returning to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. Highly recommended! read more

Stopped by here on the way back from LA for some dinner and it was the right decision. Our family loves Hawaiian food. We came in at about 8:30pm and mind you they close at 9pm so we were rushing to get our order in. They welcomed us kindly, took our order and made our food. We ordered the BBQ mix plate, chicken Katsu plate and plenty of spam musubis. Food was delicious. Marinade on the bbq was some of the best we've had. Spam musubi hit the spot. And the chicken Katsu was finished. Prices have gone up from previous menu pics but for the amount of food you get, it's worth it. Our girls 3,7,10 enjoyed all of the food. We will definitely be stopping in again when we decide to take the scenic route back home from Los Angeles. read more

I went here once a long time ago and wasn't terribly impressed. I always give places two shots, however, and I'm glad I came back. There's another Hawaiian place in town and I've gotten in the habit of getting Spam Masubi (don't judge). Recently I was in the shopping center and decided to give these guys another try. I am now more impressed. Their Masubi is large, deliciously warm and about half the price of their competition. Nice, friendly people, quick service, and tasty food. read more

Not worth your money! Chicken Katsu was just a bunch of overcooked crumbs, there was virtually no meat. The Katsu sauce was obviously watered down. The macaroni tasted bland, watery, and peppery (??) . Just an overall unappetizing experience. Never buying here again. I was raised in SF Bay Area and I always had authentic Hawaiian BBQ. Disgusting and disrespectful to the culture that they call themselves such. read more

If you like beef jerkey, this might be for you. Meat very overcooked. Might even say burnt dry meat. Macaroni was more of a picnic Macaroni. Would not serve this at a Hawaiian joint. Katsu sauce should not be lumpy and thick. At least not what I'm used to. I can't even say that they rushed my order. I was the only one in the restaurant and they took at least 15 minutes to bring me my order. Perhaps they forgot I was there, and forgot my meat on the grill and then proceeded to sell it to me like that. read more

Okay this place beats the other places for chicken and rice. They give you a really good portion of chicken and rice. The chicken is cooked great, it's not a bunch of skin or chewy stuff from the chicken. The rice is nice and thick. The veggies are a little dry, I do have to say. I ordered my meal 10 minutes before I picked it up. I waited for it even when I arrived, so I would've expected nicely steamed veggies... but other than that, it's good. I went in during my lunch and there was not many people in there, for me it was more of a grab and go. read more

I was at TMobile and spotted a Hawaiian restaurant and was intrigued to give it a try. That was definitely a major mistake on my part. This is definitely the worst attempt of Mexican owner's trying to prepare Hawaiian style cuisine. I tried numerous items and nothing I tried was good. But the clencher is that they can't even cook rice properly. The rice was partially uncooked and raw. The chicken Katsu was mostly crumbs and didn't have much chicken. The Kalua pig was very salty and I just couldn't get myself to eat it. Just nasty! The Bulgogi Korean meat dish was the worst part of my entire order. The meat was way overcooked and there was not any flavour of Bulgogi sauce. This restaurant is a disgrace to Hawaiian style grinds ( cuisine ) and I suggest people should steer clear of this restaurant. What a horrible experience. read more

PROS - I really like the lady who takes my order. I've been going several times this past 2 weeks and she's been a pleasant face and demeanor (which means a lot cause my job is stressful sometimes). - They have mini plates, which are perfect for a smaller eater/grazer like myself. - Small but not too small area, and never too packed and loud. CONS - The food is delicious, I wish there was more meat sometimes on the kalbi order I get. - It's not like the Hawaiian BBQ place in Marina, but for as I'm in Salinas for work and can't always swing by Marina, its a good nearby substitute. read more

Girl at the register had good personality/service. The food was pretty.... MEH though :/ We had ordered a Chicken Katsu plate and a Seafood Combo Plate, as well as a spam musubi. Chicken Katsu: The chicken was still pink, and the piece(s) they used looked gnarly and really fatty. Seafood Combo: The fried scallops were teeny tiny and almost tasteless. The fried shrimp was kind of burnt, and you can tell they're from a frozen package. Other than those, the Mahi Mahi was pretty good. sides: The macaroni salad - This is just preference but the black pepper was unnecessary, it overpowered it haha Spam musubi: haha you can't really mess up spam, rice and a strip of seaweed... so this was good :P I kind of hope they'll find a better cook, because these all have great potential to be super tasty. read more

Got the seafood BBQ combo plates and a small side of chicken katsu. The lady at the front (I think her name is Maria but not 100%) was so friendly, nice, and accommodating. Great customer service. The food was pretty good too! Breaded shrimp was really good along with the chicken katsu. BBQ chicken was juicy and just the right amount of char. I have no complaints except for the Mahi. Inside was clean and sanitized during this time. Prices are good. Taking off one star because I do not recommend the breaded Mahi Mahi. Don't let the bad reviews steer you away.

I wish I would have discovered this place sooner! It meets the mark for Hawaiian foods for me. I used to visit a Hawaiian restaurant religiously when I lived outside California. And glad I visited this. I had the #1 Hawaiian bbq combo My fiancé had the #9 chicken volcano #1 was the better of the two the bbq short ribs were delicious and just made everything taste better when you combined the rice and macaroni salad. I can see this is why their favorite dish. The chicken volcano was good I'm a big fan of fried food so it didn't disappoint, but if you're trying this spot out for the first time go for the bbq it's delicious and it won't let you down.

My friend & I scheduled a tasting prior to ordering food for a Celebration of Life for a Loved One…read morethe following week. We were greeted with a smile by the owner, treated like royalty with a clean table, bottled waters, and pure joy. I was unable to eat anything due to a food allergy (they use soybean oil), but I recommend this restaurant for everyone who can eat the food safely. The owner prepared a plate with our Loved One's favorite dishes - she was HI-Japanese - so these were her 'comfort foods'. The dishes sampled were the ones we chose for the event. They included Pancet (meat & veg) and Fried Lumpia. We paid after our tasting & made arrangements for a 3rd party to pick up the dishes on the day of the event. Guests & family raved about the food. It was presented nicely and there was plenty for our large group. We send our gratitude to the owner & his attentive staff for providing exemplary customer service & food. Pick up was easy & everything was packaged for safe transport in a car. Some notes about the restaurant: It's located in a strip mall with ample parking. The place is practically spotless. The owner never stopped cleaning. Restaurant owners & managers, take note!! The menu is simple, but hearty and flavorful (according to my friend). If you're lucky, the dishwasher will serenade you as he works!!

This is our favorite restaurant in Salinas. We have tried almost everything and have never been…read moredisappointed. To name a few, we have tried the Singapore noodles - so flavorful, spicy, and tender pork. Pork buns - sooo soft and tasty! Melts in your mouth. Pork and Shrimp Dumplings - they do not skimp on the protein! Our all time favorite is the family dinner deals. Great variety and we always have leftovers.
