    We had the pleasure of trying Aloha Spirit at a birthday party recently, and it was certainly the highlight of the event! Firstly, the ice texture is soft and fluffy; very reminiscent of the shave ice you find in Hawaii. They have an expansive variety of flavors on their menu like lychee, horchata, lilikoi, mango and guava just to name a few, and the toppings they offer are top tier. I especially loved the haupia cream and fresh mochi. It truly felt like a Hawaiian experience! Beyond the delicious treats, what truly sets them apart is the family who runs it. They are incredibly kind, friendly, and made for such a pleasant experience. You can tell they pour their heart into their family business. I'm already wishing for more of their yummy Hawaiian shave ice and am hoping I can get my hands on some really soon!

    In short, some of the beat shave ice this side of the Pacific, and aloha spirit true to their name! We got to meet this family business at a local event. A line gathered quickly and people looked excited, so we looked at the menu while we waited our turn. There were plenty of tropical flavors, including some island favorites. The gentleman serving us was a master of his craft and he knew how to hype it up! We tried a few: a guava, a POG (pineapple orange guava) and a piña colada. But he recommended some extra flavors that really took the shave ice to another level, and finished them off with a snow cap (coconut cream) and a little mochi on the side. BTW, the Big Stick and Mauna Kea were legit! I was grateful for the opportunity to try their shave ice and I can vouch for the aloha they put into it. Highly recommended. Mahalo!

    Had Aloha Spirit at a Golf Tournament and it was the best on-course addition I've ever experienced. A golf tournament in July is hot, but having shave ice on the course was the perfect cool down. They were super quick, which is important when keeping pace of play. Their setup was very clean and organized, and the two owners were so friendly and nice. I wish they were at every golf tournament! Highly recommend for anyone looking to beat the heat at an outdoor event.

    I came across Aloha Spirit at the Plumeria Festival at the Arboretum last weekend, during which the weather was sweltering. After watching a performance, I got in the long line for Aloha Spirit's shaved ice table with my two and four year old, and when we got to the front of the line and I ordered two shaved ice cups for my boys, the owner, Nate, threw in an extra for me, on the house. He was so friendly and charming even with the heat and the line. Nate's wife and son who were manning the shaved ice machines. When we got our shaved ice cups, they were incredibly fluffy and delicious. 10/10.

    delicious!

    Nate and Masha hooked it up on set up in Griffith Park on a grueling 90* day! Their shaved ices are magic and delicious, and their smiles at attitudes are the sweetest and kindest. Huge flavor variety as well. Loved the grape! Thanks again!

    Just like da kine you get in Hawaii!! Onolicious!!

    We attended an Open House event today and I spotted Aloha Spirit's sign - Shave Ice, which is what we get in Hawaii. Since it was warm out we decided to hop in line to get one. My hubby and I figured we would share a small size, since typically, we've been disappointed with what we usually get here, which is more like a snow cone with crunchy ice. Well, I was totally wrong! The first clue that this was legit, was they called it Shave Ice. The second clue was the flavors they had - and they had a lot to choose from -- including lilikoi, pog, li hing mui .... island kine flavors! I picked pog/li hing mui - and the 3rd clue that this place was legit was when I was offered a snow cap - uh YES PLEASE!! That's when I should have said, change my small to a large!! This was one of the BEST shave ice I have had here on the mainland! It was that soft and fluffy snow and the flavors were amazing! It was DA KINE!! I was bummed that I was sharing it!! It was onolicious!! I am now following Aloha Spirit on Instagram so that I can watch for any pop-ups or events that they'll be at. And this time I'm getting a large size and not sharing!! They definitely live up to their name - lots of Aloha Spirit here!!

    Absolutely loved the Hawaiian shaved ice, and not to mention the owners are absolutely amazing courteous and so willing to interact with each and every single customer! We had them at our stadium grand opening and they were just amazing! And you can't leave out that the flavors OMG secret menu item was A1!

    Shave ice cream

    This is such an amazing Shave Ice business and catering service! We've had Waiola, Matsumoto, and Ululani in Hawaii, and honestly, this was better. The owners are so kind, warm, and hospitable. Everything they serve is made in-house and thoughtful. We're booking them for our wedding! No wonder their reviews are all 5 stars.

    No one in North OC is doing it like Aloha Spirit! I can't wait till they get their space in Placentia, so glad I could catch their Labor Day pop-up! Prices are fair, flavors are on point-- delicious pickmeup during this heat wave!

    Lychee and mango coconut cream Hawaiian shaved ice delicious!!!!!

    Is the summer getting to you, do you need a refreshing way to cool down your guest, aloha spirit is one of the best treats to cool down the summer heat, I had the pleasure of trying out their shaved ice and it did not disappoint, it made me feel like I was back in Hawaii! They owners are amazing! I look forward to continuing to support another local small business.

    Ask for the luau fusion. Trust me.

The burger was really for my daughter as my wife and I were going to go to Mitsuwa later to grab a bite to eat at one of the food stalls there. The adults were there to enjoy a nice day out with a couple of brewskies. The single patty MCB that we ordered came with cheese and a bun and a couple packets of ketchup. I had a bite of her burger and thought it was good - just felt it needed seasoning. I was teetering between a 3 and 4-star review and my daughter said she loved it and to give Hangaburs four stars. I told her, "you got it dude!" The ladies here were so nice and friendly and their other menu items looked delicious as other people sitting near us ordered. Definitely will be trying them again!

All now just a really good burger. Look on their Instagram account at Hangaburs to see where they will be popping up. I myself Emma a fan that they are at breweries because their burgers go great with the beers.

When I take that first bite it's like a beautiful medley of flavors, heat, and textures all dancing together. I get the original recipe which is beef. They have a few currants only the beef that gives you a mild sweet surprise. They are my absolute favorite flavor. My sons love the steak and peppers, and the chicken. I haven't tried the shrimp or vegan one yet. They have around 10 different types. The service is wonderful. It's a family that sells them at Farmers Markets. They are at different Farmers markets each day. They go to the same ones each week. Also, make sure to get their home made green hot sauce. Ask for extra. They give tiny cups that aren't full and you are going to want it for every bite you take. Guaranteed to wake up your senses. Enjoy!!

The clerk working the store was very friendly and offered me a sample as soon as I walked up. My concern was whether it would be crunchy-hard, since I've had empanadas in the past that were hard. I'm not a fan of hard foods (looking at you banh mi) - but the clerk noted they were all soft and the sample proved that. I ordered a Mushroom ($4), Chicken ($4) and Beef Steak ($5) - each empanada was perfectly portioned, slightly crunchy/golden brown on the outside, but soft and doughy on the inside, with generous fillings. These taste similar to the chalupas you can get at Taco Bell (just better quality). The mushroom was probably my favorite one - with chunks of mushroom in a nice, cheesy blend. Each bite was perfect - and the melted cheese texture also complimented the meatless option. The quality of the chicken filling wasn't the best - it reminded me of a Hot Pocket - was forgettable as the bits were dry and flavorless. The beef steak option was great - full of chunks of beef steak, onions, tomatoes and some sort of salsa sauce inside. It made each bite full of flavor and delicious. The clerk gave me two containers of the green sauce - which is the perfect compliment to the empanadas - not too spicy, mild but with just enough of a kick to it. Be sure to ask for these instead of jalapenos. The food stand took cash and had a sign that indicated they accept credit cards as well. Prices are reasonable for the quality, portion size and fillings of the food.

After going on-line, I soon learned that "Scarecrow is a OC food truck that is haunting the streets of SoCal Hunting for people that hunger for a old school farm approach to a progressive American menu " - or so Twitter says. Just as I read that they tweeted they had Alabama horseradish chicken melts. Count me in !! I got my food truck money and eagerly ran down there with my official food truck food carrying bag (a cloth Trader Joe's shopping bag). I had to mention that since I took pictures, and the bag mussed up my food a bit :-( I ordered the aforementioned horseradish chicken melt, fried chicken bites over biscuits and red eye gravy and an H&J B (hazelnut and berry preserves on banana toast). The melt was fan-dam-tastic; I could eat another one. It was seasoned perfectly and was served with a pickle. The horseradish was mild and added another layer of flavor. The chicken tenders we great. Not greasy at all and the biscuits were very flaky (a good thing for a biscuit - not a person). The H&JB was the perfect ending. Not too sweet, and totally yummy. I can't wait to try their Belgium beef stew and "Dead Head" next. If you see them, grab a bite. It is totally American comfort food that tastes good, and is good for the soul.
