    I'll be back soon with aLLL the deets, soon! ALL You need to know is... Just go !! The absolute BEST Mai tai's, EVER ! The best food! it's a style and a taste and an atmosphere, all its OWN ! suuper friendly staff and y(es!) I claim this restaurant ! (or this place of business, rather.. I have journeyed through an enjoyable path of employment there, 2006-2010) it's still one of my most favorite places to go in the Queen City, to eat, drink and have, oH. SuCH a good-good time ! All the servers and staff having a great time, right along side you and yours...everyone iS always happy to see you!

    Beef and broccoli. Was very good too

    Got some chicken fried rice, egg rolls, teriyaki, chicken fingers, and beef and broccoli the other day with a buddy up from FL. The bar was full of regulars all gossiping about each other but we ignored and got our food. The egg rolls have a single shrimp in the middle of each one(yuck) but you can pick them out. The shrimp is larger now than years ago when i last visited. The beef and broccoli was great and so was the chicken fried rice. The rice was almost slimy cuz of how much delicious soy and other sauces it contained. Chicken fingers and teriyaki were also good. Teriyaki no longer comes on the wooden block with skewers standing up. Pupu platter is 30$ now and 3$ for each substitution. So annoying i get charged 3$ more to get rid of each of the nasty fish containing items on the pupu. Just not justifiable to order 40$ pup cuz i dont like shrimp, or crab. Overall the ambiance was better than when i saw cockroaches crawling along the bar years ago. Grateful dead was playing which was cool. Chili paste here is the only thing left that sets them apart from the competition imo. It is FANTASTIC.

    First visit to the strip mall restaurant that's been around for decades. Not an over-the-top tiki feel, but some antique Chinese paintings and relief work in the large boot bed dining room add legitimacy. Hospitality: A huge strong suit. Exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and helpful server, on top of their customary rolls and complimentary crab rangoons (one per customer). Nice! Plus pineapple chunks along with fortune cookies with the check. Appetizer Tidbits were a fitting intro, less of a commitment than a pupu platter, but good variety: -- Egg Roll: Crisp, tasty, solid, no bells or whistles, nothing positive or negative to distinguish it as other than decent to solid. -- Spareribs on the bone: Large, meaty, brown (no red), with a clear-to-brown honey-ish glaze. A little long in the tooth, so not as tender or moist as hoped. The only real disappointment. -- Chicken Fingers: Good size, typical meat-to-batter ratio, corndog style batter, but with a twist: a very noticeable sweetness that made them more like chicken donuts. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Gotta be in the right mood, perhaps, but I enjoyed them. Server scored us some sweet and sour sauce on the side. Bonus points for the flexibility. Typical red sauce, so no bonus points for creativity, but more bonus points for the increasingly elusive pineapples and cherries. Chicken Wings with Oyster Sauce: A very generous order, with the wings borderline crisp and more of a boiled/stewed feel. Sauce had nice flavor but a lighter version of it (both color and texture) than Boston area. Lobster Sauce: A very solid version with freshness, tenderness and good flavor. Not that dark and no black bean (or other inclusion), but no problem. Subtle but very effective. Although probably not in my top 5, right there in that next echelon. Pork Fried Rice: Decent color, decent texture, decent pork inclusions. Nothing special, but got the job done nicely. Pork Egg Foo Yong: Good flavor and texture throughout. Nothing really jumped out as notable on either the positive or negative side, just a good solid version. So overall I liked Aloha and I'd definitely go back, but rank it higher than or think of it on the same level as Tahiti or Golden Temple closer to Boston.

    Subgum Chicken Fried Rice

    May 26 around dinner, me and the fam went to Aloha in Manchester. It's in a strip mall and looks pretty beat up from the outside. We walked in and things started to look up. It was 6 and dead. There wasn't anyone there except a 3 older couples. The place was clean and I liked the paintings they had on the wall which were Chinese influenced. When we were seated we were served bread and 3 crab rangoon both complimentary! We ordered the Pupu platter for 3 and we decided to switch it up and see if we'd get higher quality rice by ordering chicken fried rice. We also got an order of crab rangoons and Peking ravioli. We subbed out the shrimp on the platter for extra egg rolls. Everything on the Pupu platter was delicious except the boneless ribs were a bit hit or miss. Some were better than others. The rest was spectacular. The wings were served with the wing tip on then which usually puts me off a bit and there were still some feather bits on my wing. I was buzzed and hungry so, I plucked my wing snapped off that tip myself and dug in. It was amazing. That chicken wing was so delicious! My son said the chicken fingers were the best he's had. The egg rolls were old school celery and pork filled deliciousness and the crab Rangoon slapped. My wife and I like the teriyaki a lot but our son didn't. The Peking ravioli were bussin! The bad? The fried rice had great flavor and coloring but the chicken wasn't great in it. I would stick with the pork fried rice next time. This visit pushes Aloha into our #2 spot on our quest for the best.

    Giant servings well worth the price

    My friends brought me here on a whim. I will start off by saying the staff was great and the food was delicious even though they weren't able to tell me if anything was gluten free. I was willing to risk it- the beef and vegetables didn't give me any reaction but I can't say the same for anyone else with gluten sensitivities. The restaurant is spacious with seating areas that feel somewhat private. The food was quite expensive but for the portion sizes and quality I would say that's fair.

    Just came back from Aloha in Manchester. We know it's not authentic Chinese food, but every once in a while we need our American-Chinese fix and have been going there for years. On this occasion we ordered the Seafood Lo Mein for Two. According to the menu, it price is $38.50 but has scallops, shrimp, and lobster, so we felt like it was worth it. We were informed that they ran out of lobster but we still hesitantly ordered it, assuming it would still be a nice seafood dish. When it arrived, in addition to being out of lobster, the shrimp were literally half the size of salad shrimp (see pic...shrimp is next to a quarter for scale). When the waitress asked if we were all set, I said, "yes, but I'm kind of hoping you guys arent still charging the $38.50 the menu stated for scallops, shrimp, and lobster, considering you were out of lobster and such inexpensive shrimp were used", fully prepared to pay full price if necessary and just never order that dish again. She sent the manager over and I repeated what I said to the waitress. He was snapped back saying, "well thats how it's made, so that's the way it is". I told him there was no reason to be rude, as a customer I was just pointing out that the dish, as it was served, didn't offer the same value as the menu indicated. He said, "so, what you're telling me is you don't think you should have to pay anything at all?!" I told him I never said that at all, I just didn't think the dish offered the same value as served. He screamed that he knows we're regulars and assumed by now we knew how to read the menu. WHAT?! the point is the dish we READ wasn't the dish we got, but i didn't say that. There was no way to have a civilized conversation with him. He eventually said, "fine, I'll take $4 off"! and stomped off. My husband the waitress, and I were all looking at each other in shock. I asked the waitress if he treats all the customers like that because he's incredibly rude. He storms back in and said, "you know what, I'm giving you nothing"! and charged us full price. So, instead of at least pretending to be understanding, much less reducing the price for the dish, he's lost 2 customers for life. We work WAY too hard for our money to be treated badly, and there are so many dining options out there, managers like him should understand the importance of customer service. What a whack job!!!

I was heart broken but it was my own undoing as I djdnt make a reservation. Just as I was opening yelp to find another place to try she came and got me from outside as a spot opened up! That's service! And I won't forget it. All the staff was very kind and she checked in with me several times during my meal to make sure it was going well. The ambiance is a little noisy but it's a raw bar that has sports on. The food is delicious. I could have eaten the Cippino forever! The broth was a complex delicious and perfectly spiced tomato base. The seafood was plentiful and large sized. I have never seen shrimp so big! I also ate oysters and had an amazing home made peaches and cream cheese cake. Listen I don't really like cheese cake but I could eat that cake everyday for the rest of my life. Everything from start to finish once I sat down. Was delicious and the staff was very kind. This food was fired fresh in the kitchen. I could see if from my bar seat. So if it took a little bit it was worth it! I'd eat here the next time I'm in Manchester 10/10

Staff appeared uninterested and inattentive, and we had to repeatedly ask for basic items. The food did not justify the prices at all.

Overall, this restaurant is overrated and did not live up to expectations. I won't be returning and would not recommend it unless there are serious improvements in both service and food quality.

Honestly do not know much about the area, but it was easy to find off 93 and plenty of parking. Stairs and a full ramp to access the front. Not huge, set up more for take out and maybe delivery. But they do have some tables and we were able to put two together and all sit. They had a large tv playing cartoons, so the kids were entertained while we waited. Great menu options for adults and kids. Sandwiches, wraps and salads were our focus, but they did share they offer an incredible seafood menu. Maybe next time. The food was fantastic. Perfect for our group. The onion rings were a huge hit and the fries were crispy and not mushy. My Italian was loaded with everything and worth every penny. A family business it seems and they all were so pleasant and nice to talk to. They even gave me a recommendation for a park to take the kids. Not to go into the details, but this meeting was a bit emotional for me and the mom but worked here and I greatly appreciate it. Thank you and see you soon

The pricing here is pretty reasonable. I stopped by East Side Grill after work for takeout. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan Dinner ($13.95 plus tax) with side salad and roll & butter and Fried Calamari ($17.95 plus tax) with spicy fries, side salad and roll & butter. I also used a $3 off $30 purchase coupon (covered the meals tax). My order was all set to go in about 12 minutes and I headed home to enjoy. The portions of food were pretty good sizes. The side salads had fresh romaine lettuce, green peppers, carrot, cucumber, tomato, red cabbage and Ken's salad dressing packets on the side. The soft rolls were chewy. The Eggplant Parmesan had thick breaded slices of eggplant topped with melted cheese & parsley over soft spaghetti with a zesty marinara sauce in a rectangular foil container. The firm calamari (rings & tentacles) had a golden breading and the golden fries were coated with Cajun seasoning, tartar sauce on the side. I saved some leftover food for some of my lunch and dinner the next day. I would definitely stop in again soon since this place is literally on my way home.

Our server, Sydney, was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. When you go to place like the chophouse, you don't order the chicken, you go with what they do best.. steak. To start the dinner I had the French onion soup. I'm a big fan of French onion soup and this soup was the next level great. For dinner, I had the Del Monaco and it came with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley. The steak was cooked to perfection and was properly seasoned. I enjoyed the vegetable medley and mashed potatoes as well. It all tasted great. Although my meal was excellent, the best part was dessert! I don't normally order dessert at restaurants, not my thing. I'm usually too full by the end of the meal. But, I had to try the gooey butter cake which came with homemade cherry ice cream. Well worth ordering! It was simply delicious. We have every intention of making this a more regular spot for us to visit. I highly recommend.
