I love the food here! Service was pleasant and the serving sizes are huge! I always have to take home at least half. Price is pretty good too, serving considered. Ambiance is alright. Seats are very worn, nothing too exciting going on inside, and I had my music playing in my headphones anyway. read more

I ordered the Aloha Pad Thai and the food came out rotten smelling and tasting. I took one bite of the mystery meat and immediately requested a refund. They refused to give me a refund, but offered to make me something else from the menu. If the food I was first served was that terrible, why would I want anything else? I threw my food in the trash and will be disputing the charge on my credit card. The meat was chewy, oily and tasted like it should have been thrown out of the walk in refrigerator a few days ago. read more

I got the pork fried rice with a side of Mac salad. When I picked up my order it was ready. The lady at the counter was nice. I had asked for extra onions, which I meant extra yellow onions, but was given green onions. It was no big deal, just make sure you specify. I didn't even think about it when I asked. I had to giggle when I got my food and saw them. It was to many green onions to eat, and they were big... Lol. They have seating to dine in and I think one table outside. There's also a condiment section that has teriyaki, kalbi, and katsu sauces you can fix yourself. I think it's great that they offer that. The fried rice was good and the Mac salad complimented the rice really well. It was hot and fresh when I opened it. I enjoyed my meal. I grew up on the island of Oahu, so I miss plate lunches. When I have a craving I come here. They have BBQ chicken, manapua, beef, and loco mocos and etc on the Hawaiian side, then they have pad thai and different noodle and rice dishes on the Thai side. The food is decent. Check them out!! read more

No. Just no. The chicken was dry. So dry. Dry and flavorless. I really wanted to like this place, but I didn't even finish this meal. I really don't know how they stay in business. The service was pleasant and the food came out quickly. Almost too quickly, but the seats are cracked and everything just looked old. Sorry but I won't be visiting again. read more

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken Combo - Hawaiian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Not sure why I haven't stopped by here before with it being so close. Would like to give it like 4.5stars I personally only think one thing missed the mark for me which was the chicken Katsu, it was kinda dry, I think a thicker cut may help and the sauce was super sweet for me personally but was good to dip the musubi into. But like I said that's just personal taste. The pork buns and spam musubi were really good, would be great for a quick lunch, snack or for taking on a picnic. The Hawaiian BBQ mix was great, both the beef and chicken had really good flavor and went good with the macaroni salad. My husband wanted fries as part of his sides and they were eh not my fav but nothing to call home about. To round it all out I got a Thai tea and it was good as well. Not overly sweet like some places like to make it. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and patient with me while I checked everything out as well. Definitely want to try some of their other items in the future. read more

I'm honestly surprised there's not more demand for Hawaiian food around here. I'd been eyeing Aloha Hawaiian BBQ for a while but was hesitant to try it because of the photos and reviews. After finally giving it a shot I can say this isn't authentic Hawaiian food. I order the Hawaii mix plate and I'm not sure what the red sauce is that they put on the food but it had a strange salty flavor that just wasn't for me. On the bright side the staff were really friendly and the place itself was clean and well kept. I will definitely give this place another try it might be because I had ordered something on the menu that wasn't so popular read more

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ - Chicken Combo - Hawaiian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I've driven by this place for years, and decided to stop in to grab lunch recently. There was no patrons dining in, I saw most take-outs. I ordered the spam musubi for starters, and the BBQ mix platter with short ribs and chicken. I also ordered the Aloha tea (not pictured). The Aloha tea is just a fancy name for Thai iced tea. It was too sweet for my liking. The spam musubi costs $8.95, and it was just okay, nothing wow about it. The main entree was bad! The short ribs tasted old and it was really greasy as the pieces I got were more fat than meat. The chicken was very chewy. As for the flavor, the short ribs and chicken had a lot of Chinese bbq seasoning, yet it was lacking in flavor. The meat was way too sweet. The mashed potatoes tasted like it came from a box. Sadly, this would be my first and last visit. read more

Honestly the food is so good you'll wanna slap your mama. I've been coming here for years and I'm never disappointed. I went to college in Hawaii so this is the best thing when I'm having Hawaiian good cravings. The portions are plentiful. The meat is juicy, tender and flavorful. The rice is always cooked to perfection - like that sticky rice everyone loves. I love how with this meal I get the juice to pour over my rice and how it's just enough cabbage. Service is always good. Never had any issues. And it's reasonably priced. 10/10 highly recommend read more

Should have read reviews before coming here, but it's my nature to try things out on my own... Anyway, parking is limited but thank goodness for dedicated parking to the side of the building. There are even palm trees at the corner- felt like little hut, there are benches for outside seating. There were 2 people dining in and 3 people in succession who came in to carry out. Seems like there are local patrons who like this place. Well to the order I placed. I got the BBQ beef and chicken with side of macaroni salad and rice comes with the entree. Visually inviting. The beef was tender. Somehow it's not seasoned enough. So was the chicken, visually there with its golden orange color and grill marks at the edges ... but not anything great, even on the bland side. Even the macaroni salad had mayonnaise but it's just that... warm mayonnaise, no other taste to it. read more

I should have read the Yelp review for this location prior to visiting!! So we ordered chicken combo and Hawaiian BBQ mix. The order was placed in-person and eaten right away once we got back to our hotel. We were originally planning on eating in but there were roaches crawling by the entrance and some darting near our car. Well......... we were in for a disappointment once we got to taste the food. The chicken katsu came with no sauce and tasted like chewy dry cardboard. The BBQ chicken looked very brown but mostly tasted like just sugar and soy sauce for seasoning. The BBQ mix -- the kalbi, chicken, and beef all tasted the same. Just sugar and soy sauce sautéed to imperfection. None of the items were grilled. In fact, the whole meal tasted all the same except for the under seasoned chicken katsu. Were the meat tender? NO! Macaroni salad tasted ok except it was rather mushy and overly sweet. The mashed potato was ok. The rice was probably the best part of the meal as I just used the furikake I bought from the Ichiban Japanese store nearby. So sad! There are many wonderful restaurants in the area and you certainly aren't missing out by skipping this one. read more

The service provided by the Asian lady at the counter was very rude and unprofessional, i.e. the price at the menu board says $11.95 for the chicken or beef Pad Thai, but I was charged $12.95, a dollar more, she did not charge me the correct price, and was very SARCASTIC saying "It's only $2.00 more for the Shrimp Pad Thai, why don't you just get the shrimp Pad Thai? She looked at me like I'm too cheap or frugal. As a customer, I have the right to ask for the price and make my decision to pick whatever I want to order, without her interfering and making nasty and infuriating comments. That's NOT acceptable and it's not okay. She needs more behavioral and customer orientation training, or find a different career that she's not dealing with a customer because she is definitely RUDE and out of bounds. Otherer than that, the food was okay but not that great. I will not comeback to this place. I had a very bad experience with their Sales lady at the counter. read more

I enjoyed my lunch at Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. I ordered the Aloha tea for my beverage and it was tasty. For my meal, I got the short ribs with a side of macaroni and rice. I enjoyed the flavor of the ribs, they were marinated nicely. The macaroni salad was yummy and nicely combined with the other flavors of the dish. Place is decorated with vibrant colors and Hawaiian decor. Service was okay. For dessert I tried the coconut custard. It was warm and sweet. Parking was ample, place wasn't too busy for a Saturday. They did have lots of take out calls coming in. I overall enjoyed my experience at Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. read more

This is the real deal. The bbq and katsu tastes just like home. And the aunties and uncles are always so kind.

Been trying to find a good Hawaiian BBQ spot and was recommended Aloha. I had tried another place a couple weeks ago and won't be going back there. I went late at night about an hour to closing so I'm going to blame it on that for the quality of food. In short, wasn't impressed. Meat was a bit overcooked and the BBQ beef was very tough like jerky. Had to use extra teriyaki sauce on the chicken and the short ribs were very salty. Decent Mac salad. I'm hoping to change this rating and come back during the day. I read the other reviews and people talked about the service and I would have to agree. Not very personable but was kind. Restaurant is very small. About 5-6 booths in the front. Didn't see the back area. read more

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ - Hawaiian BBQ mixed plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Food is delicious. However it was served to me in a styrofoam container when I was a dine-in. My plate required me to use a knife and I was cutting the bottom of the styrofoam. Also, it seemed like one of the workers had their kids there. I don't hate kids or anything, but they were yelling while on their tablets. I had to move tables to get away. Lastly, while I was sitting at my new table by the window, a cockroach crawled past me. TLDR: Good food, crap environment. read more

More like 2.5 stars. I was so happy to try this place. I was visiting from out of town and Hawaiian BBQ is not something you can find where I live. I grew up in Hawaii, so I was so excited to finally have something that reminded me of my time there. The excitement was short lived. I ordered the Kalbi with rice and Mac salad, spam Musubi, and a manapua. The only thing that tasted good was the rice. The Kalbi just tasted weird. The sauce did not remind me of Hawaiian BBQ. The Mac salad was more like a regular macaroni salad that you can buy at any store. How can you mess up spam Musubi? I didn't think you can, but this one wasn't that great. I try to find the good in every place that I go to and I guess in this case, my cousin, who recommended this place, really enjoys the Chicken Katsu. I left so disappointed and still hungry. Will not be going back next time I'm in town. read more

I called to place a pickup order at 7:30pm. I really wanted a Hawaiian BBQ combo plate but the lady over the phone said that they only had the BBQ chicken left so I went with that. I ordered two, one for me and one for my boyfriend. Side of rice and side of macaroni salad comes with it or you can substitute mashed potatoes or French fries per the online menu. They said to come in before they closed at 8. I was a little surprised because everywhere online said closed at 9. Good thing I called at the time I did so I would recommend calling to place your order so you don't get there bd they're closed. Maybe it's covid hours but I didn't see any signs when I pulled up. My order was ready when I got there about 15 minutes later and I brought it home with me. I thought it was good, I definitely want to go back for the combo plate because I just think I'll like it better. Overall good experience minus not having the item I wanted and the confusion about the business hours. read more

Since I've never been to Hawaii, my standards of a good Hawaiian BBQ came from all the Hawaiian restaurants that I've been to in California. When I first went to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ all the way back in 2015, all I remembered was that I am not a big fan. Fast forward to 2020, my coworkers and I decided to order at Aloha for lunch. They told me that their macaroni salad and their food is better than L&L. So I decided to give this restaurant another try. I ordered the Shrimp and Chicken BBQ combo with Macaroni Salad (of course). I was surprised to see that the chicken bbq has a reddish flavor. It was dry and not flavorful. The fried shrimps were Breaded and I liked the breading, however it seems that they were over cooked and dry. Compared the the chicken bbq, the shrimp has more flavor in it. The Macaroni Salad was a different issue. Just like what my coworkers told me, it was good and has a lot of flavor. The only thing that I didn't like was that it wasn't cold. For me, Macaroni Salad should be served cold and not room temperature. I'm not sure if I will ever be back. read more

3.5 rounded up to 4 stars. The Hawaiian barbecue plate is what we ordered. It's hard to find good Hawaiian food, but I'd say this place is worth a visit. I would visit again but most likely just order ahead for pickup. It's a pretty no-frills type of place. Not the best ambiance and although there is seating in the back, it wasn't open when we visited. The front area was packed and wait time was over 30 minutes. read more

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ - Mac and salad was so ehhhhh - Hawaiian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The crab meat fried rice is outstanding!!!! The short ribs are also good but that rice put it over the top!!!

With a counter to order from and a few tables for indoor dining, I was unsure of what to expect but the steady stream of delivery drivers coming to pick up food indicated that this was a popular spot. The sauce was well seasoned and the macaroni salad was refreshing instead of heavy like some places. I got the garlic shrimp, and at my previous Hawaiian food spot I always had to peel the shrimp but this place has it pre-peeled which I prefer because then the sauce is on the actual meat instead of shell. They have Thai food items as well so I'll have to come back and try more things. read more

Omg. Born n raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. I was so excited to try the Hawaiian restaurant out. I had the BBQ combo plate and my hubby got the Kailua Pork. Short ribs were ok, the beef tasted old. Chicken was dry. And why is there red food coloring in the meats? Cabbage on the bottom was cooked and oily/greasy. Cabbage is supposed to be raw and shredded...to soaked up with the meat juices which was not even present. My husband's Kailua pork was sweet. It's not supposed to be sweet at all. Weird tasting. No Aloha flavors at all. I tasted Thai flavors in their dishes. Apparently the owners are Thai. We also ordered Manapuas. Not authentic. Meat was light brown, bread crusty...They buy it prepackaged and just warm it up on the oven in front. Restaurant was oddly quiet, no music playing. Even the macoroni salad didn't taste right. Too sweet! read more

This place sticks out thanks to the sign and palm trees outside. This place doesn't disappoint when it comes trying something out of the ordinary! You must try the short ribs!

To start, this spot is a pretty refreshing and respectable spot for some Hawaiian BBQ In the area. What I will note is that the prices were a tad bit high when you consider some dishes like the Spam Musubi & Spam Moco were set at $11.95 and the portions were small. The food was pretty good but not worth a second visit. To conclude, the A/C was struggling to say the least and while in the restroom I encountered Roland The Roach read more

Have you ever wanted to try a place that serves a hamburger topped with pineapple rings, massaman curry, and spam sliders? If so, this Hawaiian restaurant is for you. The menu is fun with Hawaiian Twist on many items. They're traditional favorites of American Diner there are also different curries and Asian dishes and finally there are some things that defy classification. In three trips to the restaurant our party of 2-4 has tried different things each time. So far we've had the massaman curry, a red curry, the Hawaiian fried rice, the Hawaiian burger with pineapple rings, the Spam sliders, and two different chicken platters. For sides, the potato salad is simply not worth it. The french fries are standard crinkle fries and not anything to write home about. For main dishes, each of the curries were a Smash Hit. The Hawaiian fried rice was fine but lacked some of the oomph a traditional fried rice gets from the oil and sauce mix. The Spam sliders were as bad as you would think but a fun thing to say that we tried. The Hawaiian burger itself was fine and the burger was more substantial than we expected. Definitely a good buy for the money. However, the pineapple on top had gotten so warm that it ended up being basically tasteless. I would suggest ordering one of the other Burger options if you're looking for a burger. Again, the burgers were well priced and felt like a great value. The Asian food is easily the best thing on the menu and you'll find it on the chalkboard on the right hand side in the seating area. There isn't much to the interior restaurant. Five or six old school type of Diner booths in a half circle around the edge of the single room. You order at the front counter, and there's a sauces station on one side so you can get as much of the different sweet sauces as you want. Overall, this is a place that we visit when we can't figure out where else to go. It's not a place for special events but it is a good place for a clean environment to eat fairly priced food. read more
