The food was amazing, as always, the wait took forever though. I just wish they had a mix plate that included the garlic shrimp and the teriyaki chicken. read more

Came for a quick dinner, we come when needing a good fix of Hawaiian food and our favorite food truck isn't cooking. Wife order the coconut shrimp plate along with their mac salad and I had the bulkogi plate with mac salad. I also ordered a side of fried won ton. I think overall the quality of the food isn't what it used to be although I will say was good today. My bulgogi had some tough, grisly pieces of beef, which is to be expected due to the cut but I've also had this dish elsewhere and found it to be really tender and juicy...not so much today. The fried won ton or ok but again, I remember them being filled with more filling and thought these were a tad over fried. The coconut shrimp was good and it came with some teriyaki chicken as well. Overall a good meal and we will come again! read more

Came on a Sunday shortly after opening. Their prices on the board reflected their online menu. We only interacted with the young lady at the cashier -- she was a delight, a great example of aloha! She smiled, interacted, and provided us with great customer service. Ambiance is what you would expect -- laid back, unpretentious, and welcoming. This was our second time eating here and our second time getting the same plates. We enjoy the fire grilled taste of the teriyaki and mention it monthly. The sauce is not too sweet. The chicken katsu is juicy and crispy. The bulgoki is not like Korean bulgogi! It's still good, but don't come here expecting that. Hawaii is a melting pot of cultures and while paying homage to the fire grilled beef we all love, this is island style! What I love to do is eat the pineapple over its little compartment so that's where the juices land. Then I put the chili garlic sauce (the one in the packet) and mix it together. SO good with their bulkogi! The manapua was alright. I really enjoyed the tenderness of the pork. Looking forward to future visits! read more

Aloha Kitchen - Coconut Shrimp and Spam Musubi - Hawaiian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Recently returned to try few more popular entrees, but sad to report quality wasn't there. The chicken was dry and cold (perhaps reheated leftover from the night before). Flavor was still good though. The salmon was really fresh and came out hot as well as the fresh side salad. It was a bit of a drive for us and we were looking forward to it, but probably not return anytime soon to see if today was an off day. read more

I visited Aloha Kitchen to have some spam musubi and it did not disappoint. This place is a strip mall eatery with a fun different menu. There's a big board explaining their selection. The counter help was friendly and the service is fast. I just grabbed some musubi and a pork bun and both were fantastic. The prices for all menu items are very reasonable. If I had more time in town I'd eat here often. read more

This little hole in the wall has been featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Just because it's a hole in a wall doesn't mean it doesn't have its charm. There are some really nice murals on the wall of the ocean and palm trees, and lots of interesting little touches here and there. There is a cooler where you can buy Hawaiian sodas in a can. There are also photos of the owners with Guy Fieri . You order at the counter and they give you a number and deliver your food to your table. There are screens above the counter with the menu, but there are a couple of actual menu books that you can look through. There are so many choices on the menu. The prices are right, as well. This food comes on styrofoam plates, so you know it isn't fancy, but it sure is good! Tonight we had the bulgogi plate, which is served with two scoops of white rice and the best macaroni salad ever. We also had a bulgogi sandwich and fried wontons. Last, but not least, we had the laulau (pork wrapped in taro leaves), served with the lomi salmon (kind of like Hawaiian ceviche). We continue to come back to this place over and over. It's not fancy, but it's good food at a great price. Definitely recommend. read more

Been coming here on and off for many years... it's consistent and I love the variety of foods that have been added to the menu. The plates are huge! The bulgogi and short ribs are good. We had the spam musubi that is filling, salty and overall very enjoyable. The servers bring the food to you after you order from the counter. It can get pretty busy but for the most part, very organized and clean. read more

One of the best Hawaiian chickens I've had. It's the perfect amount of sweetness and very juicy. The Island wings and beef plate were also tasty and a generous amount. Great service by the staff and very accommodating. Manapua filling was a bit dry but dough was soft and fluffy. read more

Aloha Kitchen - YOUR THOUGHTS? - Hawaiian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Foremost, I would say Aloha Kitchen excels in their teriyaki chicken. I normally do not like Americanized teriyaki as they're often too sweet, too saucy, etc., but Aloha Kitchen has possibly the teriyaki chicken in the state. It's got great smokiness and has been consistently tender and not dry. If you can only try one item, I would definitely say get the teriyaki chicken. They currently only take pickup orders by phone. Otherwise, you can place your order through Grubhub for delivery. Aloha Kitchen also offers dine in with a medium amount of seating. You can comfortably seat groups of 4-6 people (you'll need to push tables together for the 6). Besides the teriyaki chicken, everything else on their menu does not stand out as much. Some things could be better, but I wouldn't say any single thing is terrible either. If you request your beef or eggs to be cooked a certain way, it'll always come out the same: medium rare meat and over easy eggs. If this is an issue due to dietary concerns, keep this in mind when ordering. They also often have daily and weekly specials. Keep an eye out! read more

Great Hawaiian spot serving up tasty food. I got the mixed plate #2 with chicken katsu and teriyaki beef. Both the meats were delicious. It came with a side of Mac salad and rice as well. I also got one of their spam musubi not my favorite. I thought it had a bit too much rice in it and overpowered the spam. I have been to Hawaii before so my standards for spam musubi are a bit too high. Star of the show is their sauces. Had a few of them and they were all tasty! read more

INCREDIBLE! I'm obsessed with Hawaiian food and I did come in with high expectations. Aloha Kitchen did not disappoint. The meat with the Bulkogi plate was so tender and juicy, rice was cooked to perfection, even the salad was so yummy. I tried a spam masubi out of curiosity and it was delicious!! The Hawaiian soda's are really tasty as well. It looked like someone was having a birthday party inside, super cute. I'll be back soon! read more

I recently ordered the #2 plate, which includes bulgogi meat and chicken katsu. The chicken katsu was delicious, crispy, and flavorful. However, the bulgogi meat was a bit chewy and quite salty, indicating it was marinated well but perhaps a bit too much for my taste. The plate comes with rice, a small portion of raw cabbage, a choice of mac salad or greens, and an orange slice. The mac salad stood out to me; it was a creamy blend of macaroni and potato salad, which was a delightful surprise. I do wish the plate included cooked cabbage instead of raw, but overall, everything was great. It was a hole-in-the-wall vibe, and Guy Fieri has even visited! Unfortunately, you can't order online because their website isn't functional, but you can easily call in to place your order. read more

Aloha Kitchen - Hawaiian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We popped in for a quick bite on a Saturday afternoon as we were out running errands. The place was nice and clean and not too busy. We were warmly greeted as we walked in and we placed our order and waited a short time for our food. We ordered a mini bulgogi and a soft drink to share. For the price, it was quite a lot of food, enough for the two of us. I'm not sure if it's because I just returned from a trip to Hawaii where we ate a lot of incredible local food so my expectations may have been a little higher but to me, our meal was just average. Good but not great. With that said we are going to go back some other time to try the loco moco and see if we have better luck with that. read more

Chicken Katsu-disgusting looking and tasted disgusting as well. (Why is it gray? It's not seasoning, I checked) Mac Salad- flavorless. Spam Musubi-still made without the glaze. Lacks flavor. They offer a side of "teriyaki sauce", as if that will make it taste better. The owner is more about making money off of fake Hawaiian food. They need actual Hawaiians or locals from hawai'i to come and cook the food. The way they are teaching their "cooks" to make the food isn't working. Do yourselves a favor and go somewhere else. Don't waste your money here. I lost my appetite for the rest of the day after trying to eat here again. read more

We have been here a few times, but I never reviewed it for some reason. First thing that sets it apart is Guy Fieri at here, so that is a huge plus. I'll give you fair warning this place isn't about atmosphere at all. It's pretty basic inside. Very clean, but basic. Super friendly service. And a great variety on the menu. I ordered the mix plate number 3 which was the teriyaki chicken and Katsu chicken with rice and the macaroni potato salad combo. And my wife ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice in the mixed greens salad. The chicken is not chicken breast which is usually a deal buster for me but I will have to say that the way they prepare their food I do not mind it at all. It is delicious. I would say that they probably need to put just a little bit more teriyaki sauce and a little bit more of the katsu barbecue sauce on the chicken. That's probably the main reason why I did not give them a five-star rating. I thought the meal was very affordable we did not get drinks but everything came out to just a little over $32 with an appetizer. I highly recommend going to this restaurant. read more

This is a good Hawaiian takeout or sit-down restaurant. Theres a large selection of Hawaiian food but sadly Kalua Pork is only available on Wednesdays. I had the spam loco moco and spam musubi. Both were really good but the gravy on the loco moco tasted more like gravy from a Salisbury steak than gravy I'm used to in Hawaii. It definitely wasn't bad. It was very good, just maybe a little less authentic than I hoped for. Prices are reasonable and portions were big. I'll be back. read more

So I found this spot on Yelp, went with very low expectations and they blew me out of the water. There's not one thing I had that was not delicious. Do yourself a favor and get that fried shrimp. Also had a fish sandwich and it was delicious. It's located in a very unassuming strip mall but it was the perfect way to end my day in the Gilbert area. Best Hawaiian food in the area. read more

I was looking forward to this place after so many people recommended it. I came in and I saw nine people who ordered after me get their food before me. When I asked about my food they said it was on its way. When I finally got it, the plate was borderline tossed at me. I think the woman was extremely rude. The inside was also really cold, and it gets really loud when there's a lot of people in there. Very disappointed and wish I could get my money back for it. read more

Finally found a really good Hawaiian spot! We have tried a few in the past and they just don't quite cut it as far as taste and quality. Aloha kitchen was delicious and plentiful with their portions. We have been there twice now, I've had the combo with chicken katsu and chicken teriyaki, which both are really good. The chicken katsu is lightly breaded, with a simple katsu sauce on the side. The teriyaki was the star of the show, love the smoked flavor from the grill and the teriyaki sauce is sweet and salty, but not overpowering. The Mac salad is tasty and I love the pieces of potato in it, honestly wish they gave you more. We tried the fried wontons, which were simple and the filling was flavorful, but overall nothing that special to speak about. And we lastly we tried the fried saimin, I saw it was popular in other reviews but it just wasn't hitting the mark for me. The noodles had some kind of aftertaste to them, not sure what it was. The pork reminded me of the Chinese pork back home on the east coast, so that was a nice touch. If you get a chance, add the JR sauce on the side. It's a teriyaki sauce with a little kick, it was delicious. See ya soon guys! read more

Dropped in to give the restaurant a 2nd try, Ordered the laulau plate, it didn't come with mac salad so did a side order of it. Service was good. The food was ok overall. The highlight was the laulau, moist tasty & a good portion. The rice was ok, the chicken long rice had no flavor & unsure why the noodles were so thin. Lomi lomi was ok. The Mac potato salad was unusual- color was different and never had Mac salad with carrots. And there were flies inside the restaurant flying around us & the plates of food. It didn't make for a good eating environment. read more

I'm a favorite of the triple D Guy Fieri show. This restaurant was featured on one of his shows and it did not disappoint. I had the combination of Bulgari and teriyaki chicken. This dish was quite flavorful and some of the most tender chicken I've ever eaten. I also got to try the Kalbi, (short ribs), which proved to be very tender and quite flavorful. The staff was very polite and quite helpful in choosing our menu. A great find and well worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

The service here was quick and very friendly, and we got our food in a reasonable amount of time, which we appreciated. The food itself was just okay--nothing bad, but we've been to other Hawaiian spots that we personally enjoyed more. The portion sizes were good, and the mac salad was more on the savory side compared to others we've had before, which was interesting. The overall atmosphere was small with a fast-food-style vibe. Overall, it was just okay for me. read more

We have been buying Teriyaki Chicken Bowl for many years. This one we bought and picked up contains half chicken and double amount of rice. When we opened on dinner table we were surprised to this amount. Immediately we called Aloha and talked to the receptionist.

I've been coming here for over 25 years. Come early Wednesday or Saturday for the Hawaiian Plate -LauLau, lomi lomi salmon and chicken long rice plate. It's a little taste of home. I should have added a Mac salad, next time. Tip: order a cold Manapua take home and freeze it. Makes for a fast snack on the go. Unwrap the plastic, wrap in wet paper towel, microwave 50% power 1.5 minutes, then full power 1 minute. May take longer or shorter depending on your wattage read more
