    4. Hawaiian BBQ Mix
    Ariana M.

    This place is right by my gym and honestly, it was so worth it!! This platter was $15.99 before tax.... I thought I was a bit pricey until I opened the box. The Hawaiian BBQ comes with 2 scoops of rice, Mac salad, kalbi, beef, and chicken on a bed of cabbage. Food breakdown: - beef short ribs were so tender - beef was so flavorful & tender as well - chicken wasn't my favorite but it was pretty good as it was packed with flavor What carried this dish was the teriyaki sauce! They had a self serve pump on the side and I recommend getting 2+ for this dish (if you like sauce) I wasn't a fan of the katsu sauce but I also didn't get katsu so that could've been it too. The service was really nice. I felt a bit bad cause I kept changing my order since there was so many items to pick from but the cashier was really patient with me. They had ample seating area and plenty of parking but I decided to take my food to go.

    Good and quick spot if you're looking for some Hawaiian food! The prices were pretty good considering they PACK!! their plates. We got one combo plate (chicken katsu/beef) for around $15.99 and one beef plate for $14.99. With how much meat they give it, it can honestly be two meals. The mac salad was also yummy too. The service was quick, mainly just in and out. It wasn't busy when I went (a Sunday afternoon) and parking wasn't bad either. There was a lot of seating area and they also had a TV inside. I would come back again if I was in the area!

    An inviting sign.

    We have many choices as it comes to Hawaiian BBQ. We've been to most, but by chance we saw the Aloha Hawaiian BBQ sign. We really thought it was on Garden Grove Blvd. We found the parking and it was easy right up front. Inside we were met by a helpful young server named Karen. The lovely missus' choice was the Chicken and Beef Combo, but she did not want the leafy vegetable. She did load up on a couple of Teriyaki Sauce containers which came in real handy later on. I was a bit hesitant but then decided that for a comparison with other places, I chose the standard Hawaiian BBQ Chicken, two scoops rice and 1 scoop Mac Salad and a good portion of the leafy cabbage vegetable. It didn't take very long and a CC is accepted for payment. They have a tip jar and the lovely missus made sure some dollars were put in the jar for Karen. Wow, the carry bag is heavy and once we got home we were amazed at the abundant volume of chicken pieces and beef portion in our combos. Each was filled to the brim and I might add that the taste was as if I got it at the local drive thru in Kauai. I think we got a winner here at Aloha Hawaiian BBQ and we will be back.

    This place was such a pleasant surprise! I drive by it all the time going to Hmart and didn't know what I wanted for dinner except I wanted something tasty. I ordered the mini meal katsu plate $11.95 including tax but really feels like a good enough full plate. Feels like 1.5-2 chicken thighs sliced up katsu, rice and Mac salad over steamed cabbage. Katsu and Teriyaki sauce as much as you'd like as a side condiment. Service is descent. Only one star less cause the area is super sketch with tons of homeless and shady things going on at that intersection.

    Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate. Huge portion enough for 2

    Nice location at the Corner of Beach and Garden Grove Blvd in the Walmart parking lot. Menu is extensive and includes more than teriyaki bbq with items like Spam Musubi and other appetizers. Service was quick and friendly. They have a large seating area if you want to eat in. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ Mix Plate with Beef, Chicken, and 1 KBBQ Style Rib this plate is big enought for 2 people or to take home for 2nds or maybe even 3rds.

    Where's the health inspector when you need one? These ppl gave me uncooked food; I never asked for undercooked meat. it was basically raw ground beef in the middle (and burnt around the edges). E. Coli status. There was no apology and not even an offer to replace or recook it, and I wasn't about to drive all the back to argue with them for $16.49. You can keep that. I will never eat at this f*cken place again. Disgusting.

    Curry sauce

    $42.99 for the Aloha Family Meal; comes with 3 items, rice, mac salad & vegetables - Protein options: bbq chicken, teriyaki chicken, curry chicken, curry chicken katsu, chicken katsu, bbq beef (upcharge $2.40) - 6 scoops rice - 6 scoops macaroni salad - "Vegetables" is steamed cabbage under the protein $15.99 Hawaiian BBQ mix: short ribs and bbq chicken with 1 scoop mac salad and 1 scoop rice This was our first time to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ but I had to trust the reviews and see for myself. Located in the Walmart Neighboorhood market, the area can be a hit or miss. There's typically homeless on the grassy areas but they've for the most part kept to themselves. We did witness someone come in and steal from the Dominos a few doors down and the employees were annoyed but it clearly was not the first time it had happened. Just know your surroundings. My husband wanted to try the short ribs but they do not come a la carte or as a option for the Aloha family meal, so we had to order both. While our to go order was being assembled I was given 2 containers for the teriyaki sauce which dispensed quite liquidy so I was mentally prepared to have blown $60 on a taste bud dissapointment. The bbq chicken and curry chicken are identical as they are both marinated and grilled whole thighs. The curry sauce comes on the side and although it was quite tasty and I enjoyed the kick of heat, it had congealed in the time it took to get home. Even cold, I've never had curry congeal so I'm unclear if they used flour to thicken it. Not a deterrant, just a comment...I would still try it again. "Vegetables" ended up being sheets of steamed cabbage which I enjoyed but I was hoping it would be a cold slaw to balance out the meal. BBQ beef was an upcharge and very dry with a odd jerky / overcooked texture. We were in agreement we would not order that again. The short ribs were tasty but very thin and you only get 2 in the combo meal. Personally I felt it was not worth the spend and will only be coming back for the chicken options. Teriyaki sauce was runny but did not taste watered down when I ate it. All in all, a solid replacement for my Hawaiian Loft / L&L cravings as prices had increased post pandemic and the portions felt reduced at both restaurants. We had plenty of leftovers for another meal. I will definitely add Aloha BBQ into our rotation.

    The moment you walk smells like a homeless place. That should have been a warning sign to go back and walk out the door. I ordered the bbq plate and the beef itself tasted old. The katsu chicken was good. The short ribs was full of fat and no meat. I got diarrhea from this place so I definitely wouldn't come back. The smell had a stench of old rag. But I'm glad they were able to refund my money the same day.

    Each medium tray is enough for 10 to 15 people. 3 trays of each would be more than enough for 20. If you would like, I would recommend 2 small (each enough for 5-7) and one medium tray, along with mac salad. Thank you.

There is a shortcut to the restaurant where cottage industries has a park but they also don't open until 11 o'clock. We ended up splitting up the tasks where one of us went to the restaurant to line up on the other side of the street and I waited for the park to open for my son to explore. At around 11:30-ish, we got our food and we sat in many tables available all over the place in the back area. It was very hot that day but luckily we were able to find a table with some decent amount of shade. Our order was the family meal of six or we ordered six meats and six sides depending on what type of meat or sides or maybe extra charges My favorite was definitely the smoked brisket and the pork belly siu yuk and my favorite sides was the sesame slaw and shellf and cheese. My family did also enjoy the cornbread which they said was super moist and delicious. It also came with butter, but it didn't really need the butter because it was so good as is honestly. They also had fountain drink Dispenser where you can refill your drinks and next to it is a table full of sauces and little containers with lids. There are more than one station where you can get napkins and utensils and they actually had a TV with the fifa World Cup game playing. Overall, delicious bbq meats and flavors, so come back again!

The host immediately greeted us with a warm smile, explained that it was a full-service restaurant, and made us feel welcome right away. We were seated almost immediately, which was a great start to our visit. The food definitely lived up to the service. I ordered the chicken plate since I don't eat mammals, and it was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. My partner ordered the large beef rib. At first, he was surprised because the meat was served off the bone instead of on it, but after the first bite, that didn't matter anymore. The flavor was rich, the meat was incredibly tender, and it quickly became one of the highlights of the meal. One thing you shouldn't skip is trying the different BBQ sauces. They offer three varieties, and each brings something different to the table. My personal favorite was the original it complemented everything perfectly. If you're looking for delicious BBQ with genuinely welcoming service, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing and you feel like you are transported to a different era! Kevin was one of the best servers Iv had in a long time, he gets 5 stars!! My wife and I shared the 2 meat plate and added the beef rib bone and a happy hour portion of the brisket fries. I eat a lot and we had a lot left over! The ribs were perfectly smoked and not overwhelming and did not even need sauce on them! The brisket was a little on the dryer side but was still pretty good The beef rib was a little heavy on the pepper for my taste but was still great and not many places offer a Dino sized beef rib The brisket fries were loaded with cheese and brisket and were amazing The Mac n cheese and creamed corn were fantastic however the creamed corn was a little on the sweeter side but was still full of flavor The corn bread is a must to add on! It's not overly sweet but more of a perfect balance of sweet and savory and paired with the special butter, it is perfection! We spent about 100$ total for ALOT of food and had plenty of leftovers. All in all this restaurant does a great job if you want authentic bbq! It's not like Lucille's or Dickeys, this place has real bbq and because of that it will be my new go to for bbq!
