I ordered fried rice that was supposed to include meat and vegetables, but what we received was plain white rice that appeared to be reheated with vegetables mixed in. When we called to let them know we didn't receive fried rice, we were told that this was their version of fried rice and that they don't add soy sauce or hoisin sauce. Instead, we were told they simply heat white rice in the wok. What was most disappointing was the response. Rather than apologizing or offering to correct the order, we were told that we "should have known" this is how they make it. This is especially frustrating since we've ordered from them many times in the past and their fried rice was always made with sauces and had the expected flavor and color. Authentic fried rice is cooked with sauces that give it both taste and color, so this explanation didn't sit right with us. After being a near-weekly customer, this experience was enough to lose us. We won't be ordering again--especially now that a new Chinese restaurant has opened in Manchester. read more

Aloha to all you fellow Hawaiians out there on YELP! This joint merits a "re-review" to emphasize how great this joint is. It ticks all boxes: Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great prices. Great portions. Great atmosphere. I will keep it simple here and suffice to say this places rox. This is our second time here and it was Festivus AF. Our server Krystal was fab and made our evening even more phun and she was the bomb and deserves a wicked-mega thumbs up. They kick it off with a complimentary 'Goon for each upon being seating and close it out with pineapple chucks with toothpicks for the group! Can you say old school? It's wicked pissah! Bottoms up, all y'alls! Aloha! See you YELPers here soon! read more

This place is Exactly like the old grand China in Salem NH. They serve the real egg rolls with actual pork and green goodness, not clear and tasteless. Their crab Rangoon is packed and delicious. They start you off with a free sample of them just to get you to crave more. Great service too. read more

Aloha Restaurant - Aloha restaurant sign - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Fun old school Chinese restaurant. Good food, large portions. All of the staff were attentive and friendly. I have already returned!

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. read more

The food is always good from here. Fresh duck sauce and hot mustard. Fast service but the prices are almost double what is reflected online.

Go food , service and setting. The staff is friendly and outgoing and helpful. We have been going here for years and have always had good luck. read more

Great place for old school New England style Chinese food. I made the trip from the North Shore of MA to Manchester last night for takeout, with my insulated hot/cold bag. I ordered the pu pu platter for 2, pork fried rice, and an extra order of egg rolls, and I'm glad I did because they were some of the best I've had! I'm looking forward to leftovers tonight. The drink was made at home, but I did buy the Zombie glass from them. They have a nice display case with tiki mugs and other miscellaneous items for sale in a display case at the front counter. I will definitely be going back. The egg roll pics should tell you everything you need to know! read more

Everything about our dinner there last Saturday was great! The food was cooked to perfection, not overly laden with heavy, salty sauces. The waitress, Amy, was charming and gracious. The drinks and tea were spot-on. Another diner commented earler that the egg rolls had "green stuff" inside, as if this were problematic. Dude, that's how an egg roll is SUPPOSED to be! Aloha is one of the few restaurantss left in the area to stil make these delicacies. We will be returning more frequently because Aloha is classic New England traditional Cantonse-American dining at its best. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Not good. The crab Rangoon was soft, hardly cooked. The sesame chicken was really bad. Onions in the fried rice weren't fully cooked. Just not a good experience. Really surprised because it's usually very good. read more

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. read more

Really solid all around food here! I tend to sit on the bar side but they do have a nice full dining area. The bar side always has some good music bumping and the service is excellent. The things I go here for the most are the crab rangoons, and the HAM fried rice, both of which are awesome. I have had a large variety of this menu and I've never been disappointed, the drinks are strong, and the people are friendly. Enjoy! read more

Decent food, crooked pool table and try local Manchester crowds.drinks are ok, typical Chinese quality .

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!!! read more

Aloha Restaurant - a half eaten donut on a counter - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I very rarely review anything. As a lover of Chinese food and tiki drinks, man, would I love for this place to be good. I really would. But wow, the food is bad. Sweet and sour chicken with maraschino cherries? Dry pork fried rice with no flavor. The boneless spare ribs were the best part and they were maybe a 3/10. It gets 2 stars because the service behind the bar was great and the ambiance was decent. But they *desperately* need to improve their food. read more

Aloha Restaurant - Sweet And Sour Chicken, Boneless Spareribs, Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

The only reason this establishment got 1 star is because they were opened.'Had a party of about 15-16. Had asked them prior to coming about separate checks. We were told no problem. When we got there we were told that separate checks wasn't possible. That was fine with us. We did family checks. Let me just say that the server was overwhelmed. It was just here: Two of the guests did. It like their food at all read more

Great food as always been coming here for 30+years. it's been a few years since I been here but nothing seems to have changed

Aloha is an old school Chinese/American restaurant that Gen Xers and Boomers will love! The food is great and comes out piping hot! The wait staff is attentive and helpful. A couple of free crab Rangoon on the table to start the meal is always great too! The decor is old 70's and 80's style Chinese restaurant. It's not updated but it's clean. Highly recommend. PuPu Platter for 2 with pork friend rice is an excellent dinner for 2. read more

My friend who lives in Manchester recommended that we replenish our muscles here after a climb up Mount Mansfield in Vermont. It's mandatory that you were a mask when entering during COVID-19, otherwise you can purchase a mask for $1. I ordered the sautéed broccoli with a side order of boneless spareribs. They loaded the bag up with 3 duck sauces which I appreciate and applied liberally to my pork. The inside of the establishment is large and the bar is inviting. This is likely the best place for Chinese food while visiting Manchester read more

Sadly we've been coming here for 30+ years and ordering New Years evening dinner for the past 10, but this time the food was just bland, no taste and cold. Not once have I ordered take out even of this busiest night of the year and received cold food from here, but we can heat it up fine, just everything was bland, even the rice. It's pretty hard to get the rice bad. Some not all of the chicken fingers were so rubbery they were inedible and the teriyaki skewers also no flavor and tough as sin to eat. Everyone at our house began to independently comment about how bland the food was, no taste cold, and just not good. Usually on New Year's Eve the place is packed with people awaiting orders and while they were busy there appeared to be far less people than I've seen in the past perhaps because word or experience has gotten around. Also people were being waited on hap hazardly with people walking in getting service before others that had been patiently waiting in line. Pretty much a mess. I hope they straighten out their act as I hate to see a long standing neighborhood establishment go down hill like this. I hadn't been there in a few months but wow what a down turn. Sad. read more

The manager is rude, very offensive and even loud when he's being challenged over a dish ...

Every time we have gone to eat here, there has been at least 6 of us. Some are very loud, sorry. The staff is very inviting and friendly and have great attitudes. The food is good and they give you so much that you have to take some home! I recommend if you like Chinese food, you will not go home hungry! Definitely try this place! read more

Good food just crab rangoons are a little different other wise food was good wait staff was good

The dish was delicious, cooked to perfection. I have been coming here off and for years as I travel a lot but to return to the consistency of the food at Aloha always the same always the best Chinese food in New Hampshire. As far as ambience the restaurant hasn't changed in years but it is always neat and clean. Congratulations to the family that owns this well managed and customer friendly establishment. read more

Everything about it has been great. The food and service as well as the amount of food that you get is great.

Old food/oil something? Not a full poopoo platter, mostly battered chicken. Rice was horrid, hard, and tasteless. Will never go back!

My coworkers and I enjoy the Chinese and Polynesian food at Aloha Restaurant, particularly for takeout. They offer 27 Luncheon Specials with generous portions at reasonable prices ($5.25-$9.25) and there are Family Dinners (1-6 people) offered from $9.50 for 1 person up to $79.95 for 6 people. Check out the menu at: http://www.aloharestaurant.net/ The General Gau's Chicken and the Sweet & Sour Chicken are both all white meat! The Shrimp with Lobster Sauce is so filling. The pork fried rice is dark (lots of soy sauce). The Teriyaki Beef sticks are marinated, chargrilled, and chewy. I also enjoy dining-in at the Aloha too. The place has a cocktail lounge and a spacious dining room with plenty of booth seating and large colorful painted murals and framed art on the walls. The server will bring out a complementary fried chicken wing (crispy and juicy), pot of hot tea, and ice water before taking the order. The service during lunch is very fast and good. On my last visit, I got my hot lunch combo plate in ONLY 3 MINUTES!! Sweeeet!! Pineapple cubes and fortune cookies given with the check. NOTE: The menu prices on the website are not up to date, all prices are slightly higher. read more

Aloha Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Wow I used to love this place. But it's been a while since I've been here. The food used to be good. Ordered General Gaus chicken, pu pu platter, house lo mein with no shrimp. Man has it change. The chicken for the Gau was hard over cooked. The Gau sauce tasted more like sweet and sour sauce. But it wasn't sweet and sour sauce. It was just yuck. The egg rolls tasted nasty. I won't be eating there again. Sorry it was that bad! read more

I've have been calling this restaurant since about 4:25pm on Mew Years Eve. It's been difficult to get through as I understand but the 3 times I did get through, the people didn't answer the phone but rather spoke to one another among themselves and didn't take an order. I've been on the phone hearing them talk to one another for over 20 minutes now. If you're to busy to take orders, ignoring the customer is NOT proper business.practice. Why wouldn't you answer the phone and tell people you aren't taking anymore orders? DISGUSTING! read more

Have loved aloha for years however the taste of their food has gone downhill also for the money that this place brings in you would think that they would keep it a little bit cleaner paint and update Think I might try a different Chinese food restaurant next time. read more
