Chicken Katsu all mac no rice
Grace K.

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!

Menu as of 12/29/25

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.

Been coming here for many years like to grab the chicken Katsu and the barbecue mix plate and the barbecue chicken plate! Great prices, great food, good quality and good portion sizes. Great to go food options.

Combination
Michael Y.

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.

Spam Musubi
Frank P.

Located at The District near Target, Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is the place to go. I got my usual chicken plate which comes with rice and macaroni salad. They give you so much food they need a rubber band to keep your box closed. I also got the Spam Musubi which comes with two pieces. This food is well worth your money. For most people there's enough to share. The service is excellent, and I never have a problem with parking. There's both indoor and outdoor seating too.

they serve you Raw chicken

Came in yesterday, Food was raw and it made me sick. Do not recommend. The worker looked visibly mad at me for some reason when it's their mistake.

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 :)

Beef BBQ

One of my favorite restaurants in town. I always call ahead of time so no wait for too long. Employees are friendly.

Loco Moco, Shrimp & BBQ Chicken Combo
Candice L.

Great service and large portions! We got the the loco moco and the shrimp + bbq chicken plate, they both came with two scoops of rice, mac salad, and cabbage underneath the protein! Bbq chicken was very moist and they gave a lot of it. Shrimp was fried well and there was about 5 pieces. Rice was cooked perfectly and the Mac salad tasted like any average mac. Their loco moco gravy is on the sweeter, lighter side - tasted like mushroom chowder.

Bbq Chicken
Kayiona G.

Service was so great! The worker at the cashier was very engaging and asked about our days. I got the bbq chicken plate and subbed the mac salad for cabbage. The chicken was very juicy and cooked evenly. The portions here are massive and definitely feeds two!

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

The food quality can be inconsistent, there are days when it's dry or served cold. However, today was exceptionally good, and the service was great. We sat in a booth, felt relaxed, and really enjoyed the meal. The brisket was on point, the deviled eggs were excellent, and the gumbo was very flavorful. We'll continue to come back, even though the inconsistency can be a bit discouraging at times. Thanks to our server Peter!

Their pickup window is conveniently located in a room prior to entering the restaurant, in comparison to the Brea location it's a plus, as you bypass having to navigate past the hostess area during busy hours. Our order included their lunch gumbo and southern favorite platter (their appetizer sampler) Their gumbo never misses, always a 10/10. Big pieces of shrimp, sausage, and shrimp, paired with white rice. For $10 it's a steal! The portion may appear modest but, trust me it's filling. Their southern favorite included spinach and cheeze dip, cheese curds, fried pickle spears, onion straws, and a jalapeño cheddar sausage for $19. Overall it's also a great value for how much food they give you! The pickle spears, never miss. The dip, how can you go wrong? The sausage was great. The onion straws and cheese curds would have been phenomenal however, because I ordered it for takeout, they were soggy by the time got to them. They also included 6 rolls with my ordered which was much appreciated as it seems to be luck of the draw on how many rolls they'll provide with a to go order. Overall a solid location, tons of parking, friendly staff, and the food is consistent with their other locations.

I've been telling my family about this place for years and finally we made plans for dinner to come…read morehere. We got here on Friday night 4/3/26 around 5:30pm. All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

*** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

Closed? I'm not sure what the sign, the lights, and the open door are for, but they do not appear to be indicators that the establishment is open for business. Points for ambiance, I suppose.
