    Absolutely exceptional service experience! I stopped in during lunch and Nichole took my order. She was sweet and made me a really delicious drink! I can't remember the name of it, but it had coconut and a banana liqueur I believe. I ordered a seafood boil with crab legs to go, but when I got my order it didn't have any legs in it. I called the restaurant and Nichole answered, apologized and came up with a reasonable solution! I came to the restaurant when she was not there and was still taken care of due to the accident. I am very impressed by the service and the food was definitely fresh and worth it!

    It's always your birthday at Aloha Krab :). I'm not sure whether that's the message, but this restaurant is kind of a playground, not only for kids, but for adults as well. Have a drink and get messy. No one is going to judge you, for sure. My question is, what is the proper way to eat a seafood boil? :) Aloha Krab has the vibe of a beach party. There is always a loud dance playlist. Some of the songs you'll love, some not at all. The food is good, but not exactly consistently. The green mussels are always delicious. Our last visit was delightful in every way. From the hostess, through our waiter Jackson who made us feel welcome and invited, to the yummy food. I know Buffalo, New York is not the best place to get the freshest seafood. Well, I enjoyed fried calamari and fish. Our catch of shrimp and green mussels was very good. Next time, we'll order the Aloha Special sauce to be spicier. The fries were hot and crispy.

    Huge place--if you do not like seafood, this is not the place for you. I'd never heard of this chain before purchasing a Seize the Deal certificate to try it out. Fairly noisy with loud background music plus ongoing conversations. Not the place to try and have much of a conversation. They have a limited craft beer menu much to the chagrin of my husband. He settled for a 16oz. Heineken in can. I refused to pay $14 or $15 for a specialty cocktail at Chain restaurant. Next tip: wear clothes that can be easily washed as there's a good possibility you will get butter, grease, etc. on them as you fight to get your seafood out of its shell. Unfortunately, they do not provide wet wipes, no there is a huge dispenser of paper napkins the table alongside a bucket for discarded shells. The good was plentiful with 2- 6oz lobster tails that were pre-cracked for easy access. 3 half ears of corn and 3 potatoes. A large amount of shrimp and crawfish. We actually ate our full of shrimp and took 6 home with us. We gave the crawfish a valiant attempt, but there was so little meat in their tiny little tails that we quit after trying 2-3 each. So, unless you're well versed in eating crawfish, you may want to pick another option for the 2nd seafood. Very efficient service and we were in and out in about an hour.

    Larger than the picture shows. Didn't notice until after I ate it.

    We decided, after attending an event at Aloha Krab, to get takeout to enjoy later at home. We ordered the crab meat Po Boy with a side of Cajun Fries. The Po Boy was topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and Bo Boy sauce. Ever get a sandwich where the toppings actually overpowered the rest of the dish? Not here. The delicious crab meat (real crab) was allowed to shine as the main flavor. Just as it should. I'd say the roll was average. Not bad, but nothing special. The fries were plentiful, crispy, and seasoned properly. Can't wait to go back and check out more of their menu. Did I mention it's all reasonably priced? 2024-26

    Aloha Krab does hot pot now!! Never had hot pot? You need to try it! And Aloha Krab makes it easy! First they bring it the tray so you can craft your own sauce with ingredients like green onion garlic flakes, chili, salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc. Then comes your personal pot of broth. You can then order various pieces of meat, vegetables, and noodles to drop in the broth and cook. The spicy Mala broth that I chose is fantastic, and everything cooked in it picked up a fantastic flavor and seasoning. It's not for the the tame though; when you get to the end of the pot, the sichuan pepper cracks open and turns your tongue numb on contact. It's an unusual sensation! I very much recommend anyone try this experience where you build your own soup and add an unlimited amount of meat and goodies into it.

    I had never been here before tonight. My friend told me that 4.0 was playing so I met up with her for some music. The band was awesome. Tanya is awesome. Superfriendly and A great bartender. This is really a seafood restaurant but I am not a huge seafood fan. So I ordered in Caesar salad, which was really good. There are 2 reasons that I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 stars. The first was that it took a really long time for the salad to come. The restaurant did not appear to be overly busy, but maybe they just were very short staffed in the kitchen. The other thing that bothered me was that bar was very sticky and the bathroom could have used a little attention. I will most definitely be back. Especially now that I know they have Live music.

    Love the concept. The food was good, just could've been seasoned a bit more. The crab bread was amazing. I would love to have that again. I really enjoyed the different combo options for the seafood. I got the lobster & shrimp and added a cluster of snow crab with the Aloha flavor. I wished the Aloha came with some pineapples or pineapple juice mixed in it, thar would've been amazing. It came out nice & hot with 3 corn on the cob & potatoes. The lobster was really good. The shrimp and corn were ok, just didn't have enough seasoning on it. I had the mild spice but it still could've had more seasoning. Was sorta unflavored & greasy. The coconut shrimp tasted pretty good too. They offer a Happy Hour with $1 oysters and a DJ on Fridays after 6pm. Overall I would recommend giving this place a visit.

    Pleasant place; it was quiet. The waitress was a little slow. The bar area was sharp looking. Steam pot was very good. The hamburger was very underwhelming; seemed like a premade burger patty with a cheap bun. It's easier to park at the opposite end of where it actually says to park.

    Calamari... delicious and huge!

    Aloha Krab is under new management and has gone back to being a place I like to frequent for drinks and delicious appetizers. They offer great bar deals during happy hour and have entertainment on Fridays and Sundays with a DJ or band. I highly recommend stopping by to have a bite to eat!

    This place was okay for my first time coming here, the food came out hot. I got the ahloha something sauce which was good but in my opinion didn't have enough garlic in it. Other disappointment was they didn't have broccoli on a Saturday night which is crazy on a scale1-10 a 5 is suitable not the worst seafood boil but I've had better!

    Stopped in before the dinner rush and was pleasantly surprised. Only reason I went here originally was because my wife was dying to try it. Got the steam pot with peel-and-eat shrimp, baby clams, sausage, potatoes and corn and it was wonderful! You could chose from several seasonings to have it boiled into it also (had juicy Cajun-medium which was not really spicy). My wife tried the lemon pepper and raved about it. The hush puppies we ordered for an appetizer were great too. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean and neat. Would definitely come back again.

Also, our server over heard us talking about my birthday and was so kind and brought me a slice ok cake with a candle, just so sweet. The food was just as good, except my steak unfortunately. We started the meal with the wagyu meatballs, crab and lobster fondue and pork belly. All three were delicious! The pork belly was my personal favorite It paired so well with the Brussels sprouts slaw and carrot ginger puree. For my meal I got the 10.0z filet with hash browns. Now, yes I am a don't like pink in my steak, so I did order medium well. Unfortunately my steak came well well well over done. One of my friends ordered a medium steak and felt it was over cooked as well. My steak was not edible at all. The hash browns, I thought we're going to be like shredded potatoes, but they were not. The were actually very large fried like loaded potatoes sticks. My problem was they tasted fried in old oil had a bad after taste. For dessert we tried the banana cream trifle, sooo good, along with a slice of molten chocolate bomb cake, YUM! The service, apps and dessert saved the meal for me . I would come back again and try.

We ordered the wagyu meatballs and the crab and lobster fondue. The meatballs are served on sticks in a caramelized cream sauce. 4 on the plate. These are elongated meatballs, easily 4 bites or more each. Served nice and hot with plenty of sauce. These are very tasty. The fondue is served with pita chips. It is blue crab, Maine lobster and a Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese fondue. We could not finish the fondue, so we do have a doggy bag!!! The fondue is very good. We liked both. Our waitress was attentive; her assistant was even more so, packing up our leftovers into doggy bag containers.

She asked if it was our first time, which it was and she gave us a run down of everything on the menu. The restaurant itself is very small. Maybe 15 tables total. So you're kind of on top of other tables. But it was manageable. I would give this place 5 stars, but I ordered a 12 oz Filet medium rare and it was very rare. Waitress did tell us to cut into the steaks before walking away, but I did not cut directly down the center. Which I should have. So that's on me. But the size of the restaurant is a big downfall, and the prices are $$$$. You're gonna be spending at least $175 for two people if you go the steak route.
