Aloha Island Grill - $19 for mostly burnt dry chicken. - Hawaiian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Only place i know that uses mushrooms as the main vegan entree option, and its yummy, very thick pieces and some veggies like carrots that come with it. Also they go a bit crazy with the rice portions but its good. They have a spicy orange sauce that pairs well with it. read more

Aloha Island Grill - Teriyaki Portobello Mushroom - Hawaiian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

A Spokane staple for Hawaiian food! While prices have changed due to inflation since the last time I visited, the quality did not. Aloha continues to serve delicious meals! I love the teriyaki chicken, the pork, and the mac salad. Glad to see this local spot is still going! Would recommend! read more

Soooo good! Amazingly huge portions too. Get the large plates and share it with someone and you still won't finish it all. The mac salad and pea salad are also very good as well. Haven't had anything there that I didn't like. read more

They're fast and always delicious! Good portions! My favorite are the loco moko and spam misubi! They serve breakfast until 12 as well so I can sleep in and still get it! Love these guys! Take care of them so they don't disappear and we're left with nothing again! Support local small businesses! This one's great and they're always super nice! read more

The best part of the food was the salad. Pork was drowned in salt. Be careful going thru the drive thru, the stupid fence they have blocks the view of traffic. read more

Aloha Island Grill - The best part of this meal is the salad tbh with you guys. Pork was drowned in salt - Hawaiian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

THEY HAVE SPAM MASUBI!!!! That's all you need to know! You can get it in 1 or 3 pieces and it's amazing! If you haven't had it you're missing out. It was like having a little piece of Hawaii right here in spokane. Also have you seen the place, it's adorable! Services is always really quick! I usually go through their drive though and it's quick! Also used to always get their teriyaki growing up and was obsessed with it! read more

We ordered takeout, our first time eating food from this place and it will be the last. I ordered teriyaki chicken with macaroni salad because that's the best part of food. I did not receive mac salad, I received pea salad! I can't even say how disappointed I was. To make it worse my chicken was literally burnt in the ends and not in a good way. It just tasted burnt. Plus it was dry. The only thing that was decent was the small order of fried shrimp. It says it comes with Mae Poe sauce which was actually just sweet chili sauce. I feel like I flushed $70 straight down the toilet. read more

Service sucks and so does the food. The food tasted like it was reheated, the service was like the "soup Nazi", and it was overpriced.

Read the bad reviews and almost scared us off, almost. My wife and I used to come here all the time when we were in college a decade ago, we were in town and thought it would be fun to get it again and were hesitant when we read so many bad reviews but were hungry and went anyway. Are the prices a little steep? Yeah a little, but the food was just as good as we remembered and service was great, our kids loved it too. Will definitely stop again next time we're in town. Best macaroni salad and best teriyaki sauce of all time. In a world where McDonald's is almost $20 a meal I'd rather eat here. read more

The Kalua pork was way too salty the prices are way too high for what you're getting & the drive thru is terribly situated. The fencing the have makes it almost impossible to get out of the drive thru. Never again. read more

I love this place. Teriyaki chicken is the go to, katsu and especially the garlic chicken is amazing. Fight your inner self about getting the Mac or pea salad. Get the Mac, put lava sauce on it. read more

Aloha Island Grill - Hawaiian Macaroni Salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

$60 for two large plates and a 3 piece spam/rice, plus a $3 tip. Pea and macaroni salad were terrible. The katsu chicken was dry. The teriyaki chicken was tender and flavorful, but the rice was overcooked. The kitchen didn't look super clean. The staff seemed pretty unhappy to be there. For counter service, I think a $3 tip is generous. Overall, I won't return. read more

Forever my favorite teriyaki chicken and Mac salad! Also the rice is so good never dry

I had never eaten here before so on the suggestion from my sister I stopped last Saturday evening. I ordered a Lg Plate Lava Bites and pea salad for my sister. I had Garden veggies with Pork on noodles. I thought my meal was fabulous. The .kpork was tender with the perfect amount of teriaki and a tasty smokey bbq flavor. So good! The Lava Bites were so fricken hot!! But my sister loved her meal. Thank you! I did have to wait quite awhile in the drive thru 15 mins or more. But the guy running the show was very nice. Even though I think he was cooking and managing the drive thru all by himself Price is spendy 40.00 for 2 meals with 8oz of meat or less per meal. Great food though!!! read more

Would've liked to give a higher rating considering their teriyaki chicken was actually quite good - the meat was pretty tender and flavorful, BUT the kalua pork was so unbelievably salty to the point where it was borderline inedible. I mixed it in with extra rice to try and dilute the salt and even that wasn't enough. The mac salad was a little too watery and didn't have much flavor. Also, the staff cooking in the back was not wearing a mask. If I went back, I would only get the teriyaki chicken with stir fried veggies. At first I thought the prices were a little high, but the portions are huge. The big plate lasted me several meals. read more

I can't believe I spent 60 dollars on macaroni salad that was bought at Walmart and my wife's rice was hard and grainy while mine was just one paste, the beef was alright but the pork wasn't anything special they also forgot my spam sushi thing idk if it's any good or not but if you wanna eat some good eats just make it yourself read more

My family has eaten here for years, at least once a week. The quality of the food has gone downhill, the quantity is less, costumer service no good, and the price has increased. Our children even noticed the quality and taste is not what it used to be to be. Sadly, We will not return!!! read more

My fiance (boyfriend at the time) introduced me to this place a few years ago. I love putting my meat into buns when I get home like a pulled pork sandwich. (Wow that came out way dirtier than intended) but eating straight out of the container with the sauce is amazing too! Haha. But, the real kicker is the macaroni salad. Ask anyone who knows me, I hate mayo and anything related, but I have finally grown to like certain things and long story short, the mac salad is goooooood. This is our favorite place to go to and then go the park in the Summer. It's just a tradition! read more

I wanted to like this place a lot. I got the Kailua pork and the Katsu chicken. They were both pretty meh. Next time I'll try something different. The salads were both great tho. Portions were big and service was nice. read more

Finally decided to try Aloha Island Grill after driving by all the time. Absolute and immediate regret after I opened my to go container. I ordered the "big plate" of chicken katsu with mac salad and it came to $18 and some change. As you can see from the picture with a standard plastic fork for scale, this was not a big portion, and it was about 80% white rice, 20% over fried chicken katsu. They were so overdone the small pieces were mostly just fried breading. It didn't even come with katsu sauce, they gave me ketchup and soy sauce. I thought the "big plate" for $18 would be shareable, but I was obviously mistaken. I would encourage anyone who's thinking about trying Aloha Island Grill to go literally anywhere else. The only, and I mean only, thing saving them for a one star rating is the guy running the drive through was friendly. I guess that counts for something. read more

Aloha Island Grill - Chicken Katsu Chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I'm part of a food group online and there was big talk about this place having rat infestations etc, still decided to give it a try! Tasty food, huge portions, enough for the next day, which I did save. Dug into my second day left overs and under an untouched scooped ball of rice was a thick black hair! read more

I grew up by the original Monroe st. location, so had never tried this north one.... I can't say I'm surprised that I didn't love eating here, many people have told me it's not as good as the south Aloha. The chicken was literally terrible- like I felt guilty eating it, it was overcooked & tough chewy. & the mac salad broke my heart (I'm picky on it & typically love theirs), it was mayo packed & lacked flavor plus they gave us A TON- like maybe they were trying to get rid of it. The Katsu sauce was good & probably saved this meal for me. 2 meals & a drink was $36... wayyy overpriced for the quality. I'll stick with the south side from now on. read more

So...... I've been a HUGE fan of Aloha Grill since the early 2000s -- I'm friends with the owners and I'm sorely disappointed in the quality of the food I've received in the last year! Today was The final straw -- so-- I'm pretty simple when it come a to my order -- I LOVE the teriyaki chicken and I LOVE the Kailua Pork -- and I use to really enjoy the Mac Salad side -- it was fantastic -- and I know that the owners put a lot of effort into the quality of it and it was downright enjoyable to consume But not for the last year!! I've had Frozen Mac salad -- I've had bland Mac salad -- and today it was so damn bad -- I just threw it out!! It's so bad now, that my new strategy is to only order bowls so I don't have to pay for the terrible Mac salad -- oh, and I consistently use both locations -- both bad! And I have tried the pea salad -- also bad! Huff? Dude? WtF? You make great stuff! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this issue!! Still a fan! But having doubts! read more

I passed by the place a few times and decided to give it a go today. I ordered the small combo of chicken katsu with the mac salad and a drink. I must say I am hugely disappointed. The portions were small (I grew up in Hawaii and even the mini plate back home had larger portions that this). The mac salad was FROZEN and bland! I took a bite and threw it away. The chicken katsu was literally a nugget size. The rice mushy and my Coke tasted like Coke mixed with Dr. Pepper. All that for a wasted $12.20. read more

Chicken Teriyaki with rice is always my go too! I love the sauce always ask for extra sauce drizzled on top and it is perfect! Macaroni salad is good but I prefer the steamed veggies with my meal, makes the perfect flavor combo. Prices are steep but it's worth every penny when I'm craving it! read more

Went there about 2 weeks ago.. we had to wait nearly 25 minutes in the drive thru.. I wanted Mac salad with my big plate.. and we were charged for an extra side Mac salad. When we didn't ask for one.. This last time we ate there, made me super sick!! Usually the food is bomb! But this last time was pretty bad! read more

Wow worst meal ever here. The katsu chicken was so dry was like chewing wood. The pea salad was also dry very little dressing no flavor like eating cold raw peas. read more

Love this place. The katsu chicken sandwich is good with lava sauce on the Mac. Fairly priced. I did have one bad experience here but I have to add it was 30 mins before closing and I could tell they were short handed for the late rush. It was also a very hot summer day and the place was hot inside. That time the chicken was a little over cooked and dry. I still didn't complain because I only had the problem once. Definitely worth the try and will be the best Hawaiian option in Spokane read more

This is a must go to at least once a week!! I always get teriyaki beef with vegetables instead of rice and Mac salad! A great small business that has great food! read more

I have eaten at both locations, the one on Monroe is closer to my office so it is nice to call ahead my order and have it ready for pickup. I just went to the one on Francis, and ordered the Teriyaki beef with Pea Salad. It was very good, and the portions are huge and will have enough food for 2 meala. I love the sticky rice with the extra Teriyaki sauce. Will need to try their lava sauce from reading other reviews read more

The bathrooms were disgusting. I can only imagine the kitchen. My husband said a porta-potty would have been more sanitary. We lost our appetite, so our opinions of the food may not be accurate. The teri chicken was good and so was the mac salad. However the kalua pig needed more Hawaiian salt to alleviate the blandness. read more

Employees aren't wearing masks when customers aren't in the building. Not sanitizing their hands. When they do wear their masks, they are being worn under their nose. Management didn't give two shits about it either when we complained about it. No thanks. I'll go somewhere that cares about the safety of their customers. read more

Aloha Island grill is a local gem. I am not going to sit here and rave about it because it's just not that but it is good and worth trying. The food is pretty good but the best thing is you get huge portions. The small plate is enough food for two meals. My favorite is the Mac salad and their lava sauce is dope! I'm not a huge fan of pasta/potato salads but this Mac salad is really good! My go to meal here is the small plate with garlic chicken, rice and Mac salad and of course some lava sauce to dip and extra garlic sauce. They never give you enough sauce on it so I recommend extra on the side. Good bang for your buck here. read more

Aloha Island Grill - Small plate of garlic chicken, Hawaiian Macaroni Salad and Fried Rice - Hawaiian Near Me - Spokane, Washington

After driving by a billion times we finally satisfied our curiosity and lunch cravings. We drove thru so we didn't have to get the kids out of the car (best thing for a restaurant to offer families). When we did get the food I decided I could skip the gym because the two to-go plates weighed a ton! I got chicken protein plate and hubbs got beef teriyaki plate with pea salad. It was all delicious!!! And I have seconds for later. 4 star explanation- The bag was a juicy leaky mess and they gave us one spoon (to share?). The wait was longer than McDonald's, but the warned us because the beef was fresh. Try it, your gonna love it! read more

Servers name: Alex Atmosphere: Casual Price: $ Service: Great Parking: Small Private Parking Lot Other: Indoor & outdoor seating + Drive Thu What great attitudes! Before that let's talk about space. Inside: Beside the Aloha Grill on Monroe - this location can seat about 20 people. There is a public restaurant also.available here. It does have a island decor atmosphere and there is a space between the seating and ordering area. The location here is usually worked by young college age girls - I have not seen a guy work at this location. (No point intended). Outside: There are circular picnic - like tables outside that also have a shade umbrella option. You have a wonderful view of....well just the street but that's irrelevant. Drive-Thru: The Drive Thru Service is surprisingly fast. Today I decided to order a 5 piece musubi. Alex took my order - pulled up to the window...when Alex was ready to take my card I said "Actually, I'd also like a teriyaki Chicken half plate with mac". Without hesitating - Alex said - "ok, no problem". - ATTITUDE = PASS!!! Service: They are great here which adds to the atmosphere. Here is my only concern: The drive-thru exit can be a safety concern! Pulling out - the visibility is blocked by the seating area deck wall by the walkway (see pics). One would have to pull out further to see if it's safe to move into a lane. This becomes uncomfortable since this is a busy street. Overall impression: I do like this location and the attitudes of the staff. The taste is a little better than the one I get from Monroe St and the space here in and out is convenient. The final question is - would I come back? ... I'm the Duke of this place! OF COURSE! :) Enjoy :) read more

I don't normally start a review on a negative, but I have to call this out. Their credit system is on an iPad, and whether you pay inside or in the drive thru, a tip option comes up. The no tip button is small and kind of hard to see. I am not above giving tips, but I have never in my life given a tip in a drive thru. Think they need to revamp their system, because that just rubs me the wrong way. And while I am in this mode, I am curious why they still have a Taco John's etching on their door, considering they have been here for years now. The food here is pretty good, with one caveat. Don't get the Chicken Katsu. It is basically overcooked chicken nuggets with sauce on the side. Hard outside, too chewy inside. I love the teriyaki chicken though, and the teriyaki beef is great. Hawaiian mac salad and the fruit salad are great too. Fries are excellent, cooked perfectly and have just a hint of something sweet for taste interest. And prices are pretty good for the ridiculously large portions. So, if you stay away from the katsu, you should love Aloha Island Grill. read more

Always a wonderful friendly environment to walk into. A constantly clean store and they always greet you with a smile. They know exactly what they're doing and are willing to change up the dishes exactly to your liking. Would give a higher rating if I could. Keep kicking butt!! read more
