    Chicken Combo
    Nana K.

    Leftover for days! No complaints either, because their food is delicious. And if you haven't guessed, their portions are huge. Our boxes were rubber banded together so the food doesn't pop out. Boy, were we impressed with how much was inside. Even better, their food is delicious. I ordered their Hawaiian barbecue beef. It was so good! Flavor on point, meat nice and tender, and love their macaroni salad. Hubbie got their chicken combo which was also very good. We ordered by phone ahead of time, and they let us know our food would be ready right away. Picking up was no problem, and our food tasted warm and fresh back at home. Will definitely be ordering from Aloha Hawaiian again!

    First thing first...the portion here is always large. I would have to eat one portion in two meals. Ordered the chicken combo with both bbq chicken and katsu. The katsu has one eaten fresh since reheating the katsu makes the breading not as tasty. The service is quick with plenty of seating indoors and out to have lunch there at the store. All of the packaging is for taking it as a to go order so you don't have to ask for any containers for the leftovers.

    Aloha is always such a solid choice! Teriyaki chicken always on point, Mac salad keeps you coming back for more, and the workers here are so pleasant and make you feel so welcomed! I would pick this location over other Hawaiian spots closer to me

    Delicious food, love it here, the service was great and the ambiance was amazing. We will make sure to come here often.

    2.5-3 out of 5 stars for me Clean space, decent service, and large portions. Located in the same plaza as Target so plenty of parking. I ordered the BBQ beef mini meal which came with a scoop of rice, a scoop of mac salad, and a chunk of cabbage. The bbq beef looked like jerky and was too salty for me. There was not enough rice to offset the saltiness for me. I needed a knife to slice and eat the cabbage.

    Once upon a time I swear their portions were underwhelming. Recently I went and to my surprise they are packing their boxes just like the good old days !! Staff here is always friendly, they're super quick, and it's located conveniently within the district!

    If you love meat and huge portions, this is your place. No matter what we've ordered here, we always find that there's more than enough to fill you up. The platters all include macaroni, rice and veggies (cabbage). There's a number of combinations that can include chicken, beef, fish (Mahi) and other items. We have often ordered the shrimp, fish and chicken combo, and always find there's plenty for leftovers. At about $15 and above for each platter, it is good value as well. The beef combo that includes beef ribs and beef is one of the best values you can get for this quality of meat anywhere in the area. Food comes out quick and it's all delicious. The katsu, fish and shrimp are deep-fried but I still appreciate that it didn't taste like it was dripping with oil, just crispy and tender inside. The shop can get crowded so at the peak times, you may need to wait for a table but not long. For groups of more than 6, you likely need to sit separately as the tables are not movable. Staff are good, and it never felt dirty or uncomfortable, just a great place to visit especially convenient if you want to shop at nearby Walmart, Lowe's or Costco.

    Ommgee so much food. The to go container was bursting.
    Katrina N.

    This place is a great stand-by with really affordable prices with amazing tasting food. Got the seafood mix and of course the takeout container is bursting with food. We also got the beef noodle soup, I know this place does noodle soup, and it was a great deal! Is the same beef today you'd get out of the combos and they give out to you separately in a smaller container. The noodle soup comes plain with just the soup and noodles. I'm glad this place has been better forever despite every other store changing, especially right over at the district.

    Chicken Katsu

    I made the drive out from L.A. to eat at a place that i remember providing quick service with quality food. I felt wronged by the quality of food i recieved. The chicken in the chicken katsu was almost non-existent; a very thin (as thin as my chopsticks) and dry chicken jerky with a thick layer of bread crumbs. The decision to coat those pieces of chicken was deliberate. I won't be coming back.

    Easy to order and came out fast. Food was tasty and well seasoned. The cabbage was good and we were able to sub one scoop of rice for Mac salad. Great lunch! Appreciated the free Hawaiian sun with a review :)

    Does the food contain any nuts?

    Never seen nuts on any of their menu items. Tip: Just get the BBQ Mix and you're good for 3 meals' worth.

    Hi what app do I order for pickup? I tried postmates And it is only allowing for delivery.

    Hi! I haven't used an app for pickup, but they are generally good at answering their phones when you order 😃

    Do they deliver?

    Unfortunately not

    One of the Best Hawaiian BBQ Spots I've Tried!…read more A friend finally brought me to his favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot (I guess he decided to stop gatekeeping ), and I'm so glad he did! I ordered the 2-Piece Boneless Chicken Plate with the spicy garlic sauce, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken was incredibly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The seasoning paired perfectly with the spicy garlic sauce, making every bite delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the creamy mac salad had a nice peppery kick that complemented the meal really well. My only minor complaint was that the chicken was just a tad salty, but it wasn't enough to take away from the overall experience. The two women working the register were friendly, welcoming, and professional, greeting everyone with big smiles. The dining area inside was spotless, there was plenty of indoor seating, and parking was easy with lots of available spaces it was very clean! If you're looking for flavorful Hawaiian BBQ with crispy, juicy chicken and excellent customer service, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back again. 9/10!

    My family and I have been going to Da Hawaiian at their old location for quite some time, and we…read moreabsolutely loved their chicken. Recently, we found out that they moved to a new location, which is actually a lot closer to us. We ordered our usual (2 chili peppa boneless combo plates of spicy garlic and garlic), but sadly, it just wasn't the same. The chicken wasn't as crispy as before, and it hardly had any flavor. We were disappointed, but we're willing to give it another try. Hopefully, this was just a one-time thing.

The chicken itself was super crispy and fresh. Personally, I think the chicken sandwiches could've used just a little bit more seasoning, but overall everything was still really good. What truly made the experience stand out was Danny at the register. He was absolutely amazing and had incredible customer service. Once he found out it was our first time there and that they were close to closing, he went above and beyond and accommodated us with not one, but TWO chicken sandwiches on the house for us to try. That level of kindness and hospitality honestly made our night. We ended up getting an amazing combo with shrimp, chicken, macaroni salad, two Spam musubi, two chicken sandwiches, and two drinks -- all for only $22!!! Such a great value for the amount and quality of food we received. Danny's energy alone made us want to come back. Great customer service goes a long way, and this place definitely left a positive impression on us!
