Walking in was a bit confusing at first. The ambiance hints at an island vibe, but it doesn't immediately scream Hawaii. The setup is more fast-casual--you order at the counter and pick up your food at the other end. That said, the service was friendly and welcoming, and you get a full view of the kitchen--which, especially for how busy they were, was impressively clean. The food is where this place really stands out. It's clearly Pacific Asian-inspired and executed very well. We ordered several items to get the full experience, and everything delivered. There's no surprise this place stays busy. Definitely worth checking out. read more

It was one of those days where we had no idea what to eat, we were being indecisive, and remembered Aloha was in the area. So we decided to give it a try! I love the feel of this restaurant. It's inviting, fun to look at, and well-decorated. There are lots of great options for food and it's really good. The staff are all kind and accommodating to requests for switching out sides, mixing and matching items, etc. They're also allergy friendly. I'm glad we stopped by and I'm confident that we'll be back. read more

Busy spot with great food. Some of the best and freshest poke I have had. All the veggies and fish were great quality. However, they left ingredients out of my build your own bowl, specifically the avocado which they charge extra for so I had to ask for it again after the fact. read more

Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen - Hawaiian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

WOWWWWWWWW!! This is hands down my favorite Hawaiian spot that I've found in FL! I have very high expectations being from the west coast and it's everywhere out there... but here in FL I've had trouble finding good tasting Hawaiian food. I'm in Tampa and WILL be making this drive to Orlando to satisfy my cravings! The staff was very friendly and was so patient while we took a while to decide what we wanted. I ended up getting the Aloha Special and it's my new fav thing in the world!! The mochiko chicken? Heavenly. The pork belly? Crunchy! The ono shrimp? Obsessed. It was quite busy when we walked in but we found a table towards the back. The place was very clean and loved the Hawaiian music they were playing. I will def be going back! read more

Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen - Aloha Special - Hawaiian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Very professional and friendly service- absolutely impressed the moment I walked in- 30min from closing- excellent vibe extremely friendly and customer oriented. Ordered the Aloha special and a spam masubi!!! The portions are delightfully big the flavors are rich and delicious each item on the dish was fresh and good! The crab Mac is a must try! And if you like pork belly the outside is crisp and inside tender flavorful! The chicken was tender and rich in flavor The shrimp perfect crisp and not over done! Came back before I could even finish my review and got the Hulu Hulu chicken! The Hulu Hulu I opted for the bbq and it was delightful flavor not spicy at all and perfect size portions! Seriously ever worker is extremely friendly the customer service here is beyond amazing! read more

This restaurant was quite literally the highlight of my weekend. They had some of the most flavorful chicken, shrimp, and spareribs that I have had in a long time. It was so good that I went on Thursday night and returned again on Friday with more people. I ordered the spareribs and a platter that came with the Michiko chicken, pork belly, and fried shrimp. Each platter comes with rice and macaroni salad. The fried chicken is dark meat so you know that it is Juicy what I loved is that they actually seasoned the chicken and did not rely on the sauce alone. I also love that they cleaned their shrimp. A lot of restaurants do not do that thoroughly and it really works my nerves. Additionally, the pork belly was crispy and juicy like a mix between Chicharron and pirnil. I can't prove it, but I feel like they soaked their pork in a citrus brine because I know I tasted acidity. The macaroni salad did not taste like mayonnaise and that is something that is very key for me because I hate when food is overpowered by mayo. The ambience was very chill and relaxed from beginning to end. I absolutely loved this restaurant and will be back very soon. read more

Great food, fast service. We got poke bowls and they were super fresh! Stop in if you're in the area.

The service was pretty quick and the people attending the restaurant are just as nice. We got the huli huli teriyaki chicken and the mochiko bowl. My girlfriend said the mochiko's chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The macaroni salad with the bowl was delicious, and im not typically a fan of macaroni salad but I loved this. The teriyaki had a slight char that didn't over power the taste of the teriyaki. In terms of drinks, we got the berry and kiwi refreshers, both which tasted amazing with the popping boba. The interior was cute and they had a cute neon sign on the inside too read more

This restaurant is about 10 minutes from Orlando international airport. The guys there are amazing. So helpful and friendly. The food they serve is great. I tried the Spam Macsubi which was delicious. Also, I ordered the Aloha Special. The shrimp that came with it tasted a lot of butter and it was a bit spicy (I loved it). The Mochiko chicken was very crispy and juicy. My favorites! I am heading there again if I am around the area. read more

Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen - Hawaiian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Been eyeing this place for a while and finally had the chance to go! Finally, a Hawaiian place opened up close to me. I definitely recommend the Aloha Special as they probably have one of the best mac salads every. The crispy pork belly was a tiny bit salty but paired with the rice and the vinegar sauce it was delicious. The mochiko chicken also slapped. I would also highly recommend trying one of the seasonal special drinks, mango passion fruit tea was great! The poke bowl was delish as well, can never go wrong with this. Next time I come, will definitely try the surfside sample that has Luau pig, beef short ribs, and ono shrimp. The restaurant was clean and the staff was super friendly. read more

I've been looking for a Hawaiian place to satisfy my cravings and Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen definitely does the job!! The luau pork was so juicy and went very well with the house BBQ sauce. The mac salad is actually amazing! I really like that it has imitation crab in it which I think sets it apart from other Hawaiian restaurants. The loco moco fries are delicious as well, and you have to get the fried egg on top! I would skip the build-your-own-poke bowl as it's not anything super special or reminiscent of how Hawaii does poke bowls. The service is very friendly and the interior is nice and clean. I'm excited to come back to try other menu items and would for sure recommend this spot! read more

This place is awesome! We went for some fresh poké bowls and boba and boy, did they deliver! The place is relatively small and tucked away in a tiny strip mall close to the Orlando international airport. It's quite brightly lit inside with pretty island decor. The restaurant is styled like a fast food place although the food is anything but. You place your order at the counter, they hand you a buzzer, the machine buzzes when the order's ready and you pick it up at the counter. The team behind the counter are friendly and the service is efficient. We received our order within 10 minutes after placing it. We tried the Waikiki poké bowl, the crispy pork belly, Kalbi short ribs, spam musubi and lychee lust popping boba. The flavours were absolutely on point and although the bowls look small, they are pretty deep and packed with food, making the portions much larger than they seem at first glance. My only gripe is that I wish they served the dine-in orders in actual bowls as opposed to the plastic take out style containers as It was a bit of a challenge to mix all the ingredients in my poké bowl properly inside the tightly packed plastic container. The food kept spilling out and I had to be extra cautious while mixing the rice with the rest of the ingredients. As far as flavours are concerned, these guys do a fabulous job! Everything was delicious! If you want to try some delicious popping boba teas as opposed to the traditional chewy boba, the ones at Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen are a must try. All in all, a lovely experience and we will definitely return as well as recommend the place. read more

Orlando~Cute but tiny lil Hawaiian restaurant! I usually go with the Kahlúa pork when eating Hawaiian, but decided to try something different this time. Service was friendly, and my girlfriend and I ordered the same sandwich. A crispy fish sandwich with wasabi cream sauce. I'm always eager to try the Hawaiian Mac salad because I am pretty picky. This one was pretty good although a little bit sweet. Nice and creamy with small bits of carrot. Luckily, this was on top of my fillet of fish. It added a great touch. The wasabi cream gave just a little bit of spice to the other wise sweet Mac salad and the Hawaiian sweet bread roll. Also, I'm super picky about breading on my food. The breading on this fish fillet was exquisite. Thin, crispy, and very tasty! My girlfriend had fries with her sandwich and they served the fries with honey and furiake seasoning. A little strange, but she enjoyed it! read more

I checked out Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen after seeing so many of their drool-worthy photos on Yelp. Hawaiian food has definitely been trending this year, and I'm glad we have a locally owned gem like this in Orlando. It's located pretty close to the airport, which is a bit out of our way, but I knew it would be worth the visit. And they did not disappoint! This is a very chill fast-casual spot with counter service and plenty of indoor seating. They specialize in fresh poke bowls, sandwiches, and authentic Hawaiian dishes. I wanted to try as many proteins as possible, so I ordered the Surfside Sample which is a combination of Kalbi short ribs, garlic Ono shrimp, and luau pig, served with mac salad. I also wanted to try the pepper seared ahi in a garlic ponzu sauce. It was all incredible. The meats were tender and flavorful, and the ahi tuna was absolute perfection. My favorite bite had to be the ono shrimp which were spicy and crispy -- just the way I like them. I'd probably get a whole bowl of the shrimp next time. I also tried one of their fun boba teas (mango passion fruit) and the butter mochi for dessert - yum! The service was quick and the staff were all super friendly. They even made suggestions for what we should try during our next visit. Their poke bowls and loco moco fries look amazing. I already can't wait to go back! read more

It's fine. Theres nothing really wrong, it's just ordinary. The staff was very nice and helpful. The small restaurant was very clean and it was a fun vibe. I ordered the ahi poke bowl, but felt it was very bland, even with the sauce. Everything tasted fresh. But just not a lot of flavor. However, everyone else in the party had a delicious experience. So if you go, order the Plates, just not the ahi tuna poke bowl. read more

Service was amazing, inside of the restaurant was clean, food was delicious. I didn't even take a second look at the prices because this place has been recommended to me so many times. Got the mochi chicken plate and two spam musubis. 5 stars all around. So glad Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen is near the airport, will be coming by more after flights! Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Significant other who doesn't prefer Hawaiian food even said the chicken and mac were very good and he'd eat it again. read more

Absolutely the best. This is the first place I go to whenever I visit Orlando. The staff is so friendly and the food is top notch. Those lumpias are amazing. I think I could eat a whole tray full of those. But be careful, they are made fresh and can be very hot. My go to dish is the garlic shrimp... and be aware there is a lot of garlic, so don't consume if you have a hot date later on. This has to be the most delish shrimp ever. The shrimp are wonderfully flavored , huge, fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked. So often you get shrimp that are overdone and chewy, not here. These guys know what they are doing. Also the Mac salad is so creamy and goes great with the shrimp and rice. Actually my daughter usually takes another side of the mac salad home with her, while I take a poke bowl for later. The poke bowl gives you lots of choices of base, protein and toppings. You are sure to find a combination that works for you. I would visit more often if I lived in town. read more

Walk up fast casual Hawaiian themed. Staff was friendly and all business. Not short but efficient. It was cranking in there. Ordered the luau pig and a poke bowl. Pig plate was pretty good portion and the house bbq sauce was very good. Poke was a build your own and you can see it is also a big portion. The cucumbers had a bit of kimchi kick and all the "sides" were fresh and good portions. Up charge for avocados but it was fresh and a good portion too. The tuna is spicy Mayo was pretty good on top of the greens and all the sides. Only negative is there was a lot of "liquid" in the bowl. Water? From where I don't know. Extensive menu and some big platters that look good for sharing to save money. The yummies (lumpia etc) could also be stacked into a meal. read more

Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen is a great spot for Hawaiian grub in Orlando, close to MCO. My boyfriend and I always make a point to get some Hawaiian cuisine when in Orlando because there aren't any spot in South FL and we finally got to try Aloha on our recent trip here. It was easy to find and parking was a breeze since it was located in a plaza. They are a fast-casual spot where you can either grab and go or eat inside. The space itself was clean and the service was friendly and fast. We had a hard time figuring out what to get since everything on the menu looked so good! We knew we wanted a good scope of the menu so we ended up ordering the Aloha Special which came with mochiko chicken, crispy pork belly, ono shrimp and kani krab, Loco Moco fries, a musubi, and the alohasada for dessert. Overall, the food was great in terms of freshness and presentation. I think our standard for Hawaiian food is pretty high so, as far as taste, it wasn't our favorite dishes we've had. There wasn't really anything lacking but I think we just had different taste preferences for what we've had before. The kani salad wasn't as flavorful as we're used to having for mac salads. Again, I think it was more of a preference for taste than it not being great. Our favorite thing we got, however, was probably the alohasadas since they were 3 malasadas with different flavors and were all great. Overall, we still had a five star experience here and would probably come again if we were in the area! read more

I am from Hawaii so I feel extra qualified for this one- 1. Mochiko chicken (wife's order) excellent 2. Kalbi Ribs (my order) Best I've had in Florida 3. portion size- more than I could finish 4. Litle things- they put the protein on the rice so all the juices flavored the rice. 5.- Bonus- Mac salad- so good I ordered to sides to take home- a true taste of home. 6. Service- all staff super friendly And I drove an hour to get there. I heard another customer say the same. read more

My mochiko chicken was so satisfying after a gym workout. Crispy with a slight sweetness on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. The Macaroni salad almost tasted like how I make mine minus the sweetness. Good deal for a quick meal.

My partner and I have eaten here several times over the last several months. Every time we have been greeted with great hospitality and friendliness when we come through the door. The staff is always available to take an order, provide recommendations, and is patient when deciding what to get. Furthermore, the service is relatively fast and is very doable to order take out from. The place itself is very nicely decorated. The photo op statement wall is super trendy and aesthetic. We have eaten inside several times and have had little problems with seating. Peak times may be more difficult considering the establishment's size. As for food, it is to die for. I have been more than 5 times and have managed to be impressed each time. The Mochiko Chicken is perfect. The mixed plates are great if you can't decide what plate item to get. Poke is fresh and delicious. The menu provides a diverse range of items which is what keeps us coming back for more! Thank you Aloha for servicing us with good food. read more

I placed an order on Uber Eats for the luau pig bowl, kalbi short ribs bowl, crispy pork belly bowl, huli huli fries, pork lumpia and spam musubi. The food came fairly fast and was still warm. It was my first time trying the spam musubi and I have to say that it was the highlight of the meal! The pork lumpias were nice and so were the huli huli fries. Unfortunately the mains were incredibly salty and underwhelming. The kalbi was tasty but not very tender, the luau pig bowl was good and the pork belly was flavourless and almost inedible due to the salt content. The rice is plain and the macaroni salad is a little bland. I added my own sauces to enhance the food. read more

I was optimistic this would be a good pre-airport option - good reviews, photos, proximity to the airport. Very disappointed in the food. The service was great but the food was too bland to try again. The fruit and vegetables did not taste fresh, too sour to eat. The salmon even had no taste. It ended up being very experience rice with soy sauce. 3 stars for the service and in the event it was just an off day, but I won't be back. read more

Craving hawaiian lunch plate vibes and found this on yelp. Located by the millers ale house by the airport and where I use to live in a shopping plaza. They sell musubi , malasadas, Kalbi, Loco moco, Chicken Katsu etc. I opted for the Kalbi plate with no rice just mac salad. There is a wait for the food and the plate lunch costs about $16 and the portions were ok. The Kalbi is marinated well but i think it was too much marinated as to where sometimes itr tasted too sweet or kind of salty. It was still delicious. The Mac salad was ok had too much mayonnaise imo. Its cheaper to order kalbi here than to order al a carte in a korean restaurant. Staff here were ok. The cashier misunderstood my order regarding no rice just mac salad and I noticed a slight attitude from him. Fountain drinks are served here I am not sure if they offer Hawaiian sun or Aloha drinks. So far this is the only hawaiian plate lunch eatery I know in central florida that caters fast quick service. read more
