    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

    Love the different options of Hawaiian food at this place! Great service and affordable! Must try!

    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!

    Combination

    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.

    Jamie W.

    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

    I feel like a yelper that's been living under rocks. Can't believe I never heard of this place…read moreuntil I recently saw my fellow yelper Van D's review. This is western BBQ with an Asian flair. I think the flavor is better and slightly less heavy than a traditional American BBQ. Everything was so packed with flavor, can't really pick a favorite among so many great proteins. Smoked Brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with a nice smokey taste. Green Curry Sausage was definitely unique with a really nice Thai infused flavors. Was slightly spicy with strong green curry and lemongrass flavors. Canton Bowl, which comes with smoked pork belly char siu, siu yuk (pork belly with super crispy skin), and coconut rice, was excellent as well. The siu yuk was really good with super crispy/crunchy skin. House-made BBQ sauces were quite good. I really like the gochujang bbq sauce. It has decent amount of heat with a sweet & spicy taste. The regular house BBQ sauce has a tangy, sweet taste with a very subtle heat. It's located at Cottage Industries. Not exactly sure what to call it. It's somewhat like a small community of restaurants and shops with a garden and a play area for kids. Parking is very limited so will most likely need to park on the streets along residential area. Service is minimal. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to let you know when the food is ready. Seating is only available outside in the covered patio area but you can also pick any of the community tables and chairs within Cottage Industries.

The staff were friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. The food was OK, I was pretty excited to try BBQ with an Asian Panache. I got the bowl that came with one out of four choices of meats, to which I chose brisket. Cornbread with butter, coleslaw, and a side of rice. Unfortunately, the brisket was a bit disappointing because it wasn't tender and pretty dry. It tasted pretty good and paired with their gochujang bbq sauce made it taste better. I also asked for a leaner cut of meat but my meat were really fatty. I liked the cornbread and their butter was really good! The coleslaw was ok and the rice was dry with pork bits.

I ordered their Bulgogi Rice Bowl, which came with a delicious Bulgogi Beef, Picked Ginger, Edamame, Kale, Corn, and topped with green onions. With rice. Comes with a side of creamy sauce. It was a delicious meal. Only thing I wish though, was more sauce. I would've been okay if they pre-dressed the meal with the sauce also. Or, give us two sauces instead. Staff is friendly here. I only interacted with the lady at the counter. When my order wasn't up after awhile, I did ask her if there was an update with my order. She kindly just apologized for the delay and made my order. Customer service exists here, which is really awesome. I would definitely come back next time!

It made it feel like a fun place and very welcoming to come back. The place has very simple decorations.

We ordered a BBQ plate, cornbread (that comes with 4), and their own home brewed root beer . Damnation plate comes with choice of 3 meats, choice of 2 sides, and corn bread. You add an extra $2 for premium tier meats. For the meats we ordered brisket, tri-tip, and pork belly. For the sides we got the coconut creamed corn and smoked mashed potatoes. I enjoyed that the meat was cut almost to bite size pieces. Pork belly at a BBQ joint is unique to offer. We enjoyed its flavor and taste. The coconut creamed corn is delicious. Very unique and first time trying. We enjoyed the savory corn with the sweetness to the coconut milk. The mashed potatoes were very subtle to the smokiness. Slightly gummy. Cornbread was a tad dry. Fresh brewed Brew Hawg Rootbeer I really enjoyed. Not overly sweet. It's very hard to find a place that brews their own Rootbeer. Again, I say the service was amazing. When we were done eating, the lady behind the counter gave us some banana pudding to try. Thank you. The service is memorable. We will definitely be back.
