CID Food Walk stop number two: Aloha Plates, the classic Hawaiian standby in the Uwajimaya food court. 2x Spam Musubi + Mac Salad Food Walk Special ($8) - The spam musubi are held in a heater so they are served warmed up by default. I didn't expect much out of these, but they were surprisingly good. The rice is cooked perfectly, sticky and tender, yet each grain is distinctive and almost bouncy, giving great mouthfeel. The musubi seems to be dipped in a small amount of soy sauce, although not enough to cover the entire rice surface. The additional sodium isn't really needed in the first place due to the salty and meaty kick the spam on top gives the handheld snack. It's a classic combination for a good reason! (4/5) For the Food Walk special, they only give a small scoop of mac salad. I'm sure the normal side portion for $5.94 is much larger. The salad is unspectacular but solid. It's a little sweet, a bit peppery, and certainly very creamy. There's a bit of julienned carrot included that isn't particularly crunchy, being soaked in the mayo sauce. The macaroni itself isn't mushy or overcooked, so it still has some texture. (4/5) I don't usually expect much out of food court restaurants, but Aloha Plates definitely surprised me with their quality. It seems like a solid option for Hawaiian.

Shin Ramen
Yvonne H.

This Hawaiian eatery is located in a food hall in Chinatown Seattle area. They had excellent customer service. The food was hot and fresh. Our party ordered burgers, Shin ramen, musubi and the Bok Bok meal. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The Shin Ramen was spicier than we expected. My musubi had hard rice, however another one was fluffy and delicious. Prices were comparable to others in the food hall. We sat nearby on the many available tables.

Chicken *Teriyaki Chicken
Ben B.

It's fast food. I got the teriyaki chicken, which is kind of a general go to when in Seattle. It had absolutely no spice to it, of which I'm not accustomed. I like spicier chicken teriyaki. It was quick and they were pleasant. The ambience is that of a food court and there's usually just about no place to sit.

Aloha Burger
Maira P.

Not a good burger. Too soggy, greasy, and messy. It's too expensive to be falling apart so easily. It made my stomach hurt afterwards.

Kalua pork and chicken katsu combo
Vinh M.

I hardly ever go to any of the delis and eateries in the Uwajimaya food court, so I didn't expect to eat here. The food court itself has a decent amount of seating that fills up every weekend, though I came here with a friend on a Friday afternoon to get something quick to eat here. They have a good selection of combo plates and Musubi, and everything on the menu looked tempting. Since I only ordered up at the counter, no comment on service here. I got the kalua pork and chicken katsu combo here, and it came packaged in a box along with a side of Mac salad. This was all right at best; the pork was slightly more watered down than what I would have preferred, so there wasn't too much taste. The chicken katsu, however, was full of meat and somewhat bland but was very filling. The combo itself also came at a very good price for its quantity and even quality in this case.

I recommend Aloha Plates. Perfect crispy-ness. Fresh-breaded. Mac salad tasted new. Katsu sauce is awesome! My order was on time. Thank you for stapling the bag to preserve the heat! Best Chicken Katsu around! Very clean. Reminded me of the island. See you soon! Aloha

Updated review from 2 Months ago…read more.. I've been back roughly 6 times from my previous review of Kona Kitchen. Then it was too many staff, not many customers and it was difficult to get service, that has been improved upon. They are nice and attentive when they see you. Service was normal, the wait staff came around and offered more beverage. This time it was still slow period, so what gives it only 3 stars instead of more? It's the fact that the main door the employee use to go into the kitchen to give their orders to the cooks had cob webs on the top of the door.i mean everyone of them walk through that door hundreds of times throughout the week because I could tell it's been there for some time. Where's the food inspector, should be a concern because if it's there in full view of customers and employees, what else is happening as far as cleanliness at Kona Kitchen. I will be there within two or three days and wonder if the cobweb will still be a fixture there... it's something that is annoying because nobody's done anything about it. Amazing.

Thankfully dine-in is back open again, so we got here on a Saturday morning around 11:20am to indoor seating that was nearly full and a small line that was forming at the front counter. Walls have a bunch of photo frames, and overall place felt very homely. They have a ton of Hawaiian style plates and even burgers and some seafood, though we and most others got the former to eat. I ordered their chicken and pork combo Hawaiian style plate, and my bestie got their chicken katsu Hawaiian style plate. Portions are huge for both plates and both also came with macaroni salad. They give you sooooo much meat no matter what you get. To go in slightly more detail: - Chicken and pork combo: both meats were flavored very well, and a little sweet too though pretty salty without using the rice as a palette cleanser. Chicken had more depth in its flavor; the pork's flavor was a little too much for my liking, and was slightly harder to chew. Both meats had some sauce hat went onto the rice itself. This didn't detract from my overall experience here, though. - Chicken katsu: we both agreed this was our favorite after exchanging pieces of each other's dish. The katsu is crispy and crunchy, and the chicken itself retained a lot of its juiciness. Katsu sauce on the side is honestly optional since the meat itself is already salty enough. This place does share extremely limited parking with Cakes of Paradise next door, so get here early or be prepared to drive around the area to find some. Just get here, it's a place you can't pass up when you hit up Georgetown!

I would have to say the most thing I enjoyed the most was the chili pepper water, it added the tanginess that the chicken needed and I was very pleased with the spice level. I am used to spice but this had a kick to it. I wish they sold the chili pepper water in bottles I would have loved to take more home! Can't wait to try their saimin and more items on the menu.

Scuba divers, families and tourist can be seen nearly every day of the week. The view of Downtown at night over the water is breathtaking. Marinations offers a simply menu, and there is something on the menu for everyone. I had the Kimchi rice and added miso ginger chicken to it. They make a few drinks and I had the giner guava juice. You place your order at the counter and pick it up at the counter or in the back with the seating is. The seating in the back is tables and benches with umbrella with a first come first serve approach. Your order will be called for pickup in the back if you are dining at the place. The employees are polite and quick, and helpful when ordering. The fried kimchi was a delight. Now, I'm use to kimchi being more on the spicy side with heat from peppers used to make it, but this was mild to a little heat. The miso ginger chicken was a great add on and made the rice that much more enjoyable. I love the egg on top as well. The guava ginger drink is good enough to drink everyday. I love the bold peppery taste of ginger followed by the calm sweet guava. Parking is a challenge as this place is at the end of the water taxi that is always busy. The area always has scuba divers, cyclists and runners.

QR code is available at the table to order but they'll also take orders. I would be interested in coming back to try their ramen or sushi, but with a restaurant name that leads with karaage, we had to go with that. Mega Karaage - for $1.25 per piece (30 pieces for $37.50), this is an amazing group deal rivaled only by their "Karaage Party Platter" which is 40 pieces but to-go only. Choices of original, shichimi pepper (spicy), or lemon pepper. Came out extremely fast, was piping hot, and juicy. Not as crispy or crunchy as I like but I imagine difficult to maintain because of the quantity. Would expect at least this much karaage to come with a side of sauce for free, so charging 75 cents feels pretty lame especially for people wanting to try their different sauces. Karaage Fries Combo - this is roughly 5-6 pieces of karaage with a small order of fries. Fries have choices of setsuna, salt, plain, or yakisoba. We went with the setsuna and I was pretty disappointed. It's just butter wiped on soggy fries. My friend compared the fries to In-N-Out fries which isn't a good thing, so I would skip the fries altogether.
