Toddler dinners are difficult in my house- little picky eater won't even do the normal dishes but Alohahola's chicken bbq & macaroni salad are huge wins for my little boy. The location is good since it can be quick to grab while staying in the bubble. Iykyk When we walked in there was a person in line talking with the associate so we used the iPad and ordered. Super convenient. While we waited, we checked out the shop next door but didn't get anything. Food took a little while but came out hot and fresh. My son enjoyed the Hawaiian themes throughout the shop. read more

This is a great spot! The food is awesome and the service is friendly. Great location, good atmosphere.

Wow, I was very impressed with my first visit to alohahola. I ordered a two protein poke bowl and I was expecting just another poke bowl. Wrong, the toppings selection was impressive (fav was the garlic chips), the portions were very filling. The tuna and salmon tasted fresh. The employees were very helpful, with genuine smiles. I always have trouble working the order tablets (they hate me). The dining room music was very melody and calming. Definitely coming back to give the other dishes a try! They have earned our five stars. read more

Alohahola - Poke 2 protein bowl shrimp and salmon - Hawaiian Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Very clean. Great selection. Food was very good and the staff was very kind and helpful. Great spot for casual dining.

Best customer service ever period!!! Can't wait to enjoy my poke bowl!!! Can't comment on the food right now, but I do believe will taste amazing! The place was very cleaned, and very welcoming read more

This is my second time trying this location and I'm happy to say that the second visit was better than the first. Not that the first time was a horrible experience but they went from a 4 to 5 star in my opinion. Flavor and service were wonderful. The space was clean and the workers were amazingly kind to us. I will not mention exactly why my first visit was not a five star event but I can promise it wasn't due to service then too. The portions for the meals are huge, my daughter and I shared the bbq chicken plate and the spam musubi with leftovers to spare. The flavor was perfect. The place was so clean, I cannot stress enough the attention to detail when they service you and how clean they keep their store. The way they pay attention when you might need something they're ready to offer it to you. Even though the store wasn't full with patrons they did have a lot of to go orders. Bonus point: Their to-go bags are reusable, they even offer a military discount. 10/10 The establishment is small, about 4 tables and barstools along the wall. Cute little spot for lunch with a friend or your family. read more

This review is for takeout and appetizers only! My order was ready when I arrived and they made sure I had all the sauces/utensils I needed. I got the shrimp shumai. These were hot and fried. They were pretty good. I got the musubi trio which came with one bbq pork, spam and crispy chicken. Those were pretty bland. Not enough meat and rice proportions were off (way more rice than needed). I wasn't too impressed with their appetizers. Maybe the entrees would have been better? read more

Always order to go food because the food is pretty good. Ordered spam fried rice and BBQ beef. Friendly service and you can order on the two kiosks upon entry or at the counter if preferred. Island aesthetic vibes with the decor and music and very clean. Love that they have signs on the table letting you know if it's been sanitized. read more

I was craving a poke bowl and came across Alohahola off Battlefield Blvd in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake. The parking lot was easy to get into. I ordered at the tablet and took a seat. The inside is fairly small and the tables are close together so I would probably take my next order to go. The employees were friendly and answered any questions I had. I was impressed with how fresh everything in my poke bowl tasted from the cucumbers to the salmon. I feel like Alohahola has a lot more options when it comes to toppings and sauces which I appreciate. I might even say it was the best poke bowl I've tried in VA. I also ordered a side of macaroni salad it was average. I would be interested to try some of their other dishes like spam masubi and teriyaki chicken. I will definitely be back! read more

We love the food here ! But the service is also top notch ! So friendly ! You can't go wrong ! read more

Their poke is always so fresh and has a great variety of toppings- the price point is right. Their hot meals are huge and give a large portion- I hope that never changes. The macaroni salad is really good, not too heavy on the mayo and is always consistently delicious! I'm from out of town but every time I come back to VA( pretty often) I purposely make a stop here! read more

I happened upon this restaurant when I visited Joyu, which is next door. They have a variety of Hawaiian cuisine including poke. I decided to try their black pepper Hawaii barbecue chicken dish. It came with macaroni salad, rice, and grilled veggies (onions and peppers). I loved the flavor of the chicken and veggies. I didn't eat the Mac salad. I will definitely go back and possibly try something else. But that chicken is delicious!! And they give you such large portions, I had enough for lunch the next day. They have several tables for aging. The staff member was nice and helpful. read more

Best food and best service. Food is fresh and employees are super nice. I eat here almost everyday. And did you know they have punch that include a 10% off a 15% off and last punch is a free platter. Poke bowl is my go to. read more

This was by far the best valued poke bowl I've ever gotten! The price and comparison with the amount of protein was 10/10! There were lots of options for toppings! The staff was knowledgeable and helped us order! My only take away would be the sauce was very salty, i think light spicy sauce would have been better, but if I'm ever back I'll try that! read more

I know it's probably best to separate these reviews but I had to combine them because these are literally two of my favorite spots and now they're side by side and connected! I was so happy when I found out. Living in Chesapeake and working in Virginia Beach this makes it so much more convenient to grab both in one trip. The coconut chicken used to be my go-to back in the day but lately I've been getting the coconut shrimp and it's still just as amazing. So flavorful and always hits the spot. As for Joyyu my favorite drink is the Avocado Joyyu. There's just something about the condensed milk and avocado combo that I absolutely love lol. It's smooth, sweet and super satisfying every time. My only complaint about Joyyu is the oven they have on the counter near the front of the store it's loud! Every time it finishes cooking it's so noisy it has my ears ringing. Other than that I'm always happy to stop by. read more

Met some friends for lunch. The staff was accommodating while two of us waited for the third friend. Ordering was so easy and the staff helped with any questions we had. Great selection but limited for vegetarian options. We all had poke bowls and they were all delicious. Mine was very filling and I liked that I didn't have to have rice as a base. The sashimi was fresh and tasty. The restaurant itself is small but very clean and bright. Staff is attentive to cleaning the tables quickly. There was a steady flow of lunch customers. I would give 4.5 stars if I could - 4 because limited vegetarian options I can't wait to go back again. read more

Alohahola - Poke bowl - Hawaiian Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Oh my gosh!! This place is amazing!! I ordered delivery and it's so worth it. The food is prepared to perfection and the portions are huge! I literally have enough food for 2 people. If you haven't tried this place, put it immediately on your radar!!! read more

This was my 2nd time getting food from this location. The 1st time i ordered a poke bowl and it was great. The other night I wanted Hawaiian BBQ and I ordered the BBQ short ribs and BBQ shrimp. The ribs where tender and the shrimp were good. There was 1 major problem that I took issue with. NOTHING WAS BBQ'D. The meat had no delicious char, no char markes or smokey flavor on the meat or the shrimp. This was very disappointing. Even the menu discrimination mentions charred meat but that isn't what I received. It left me a little confused. How to do prepare BBQ with no direct heat? The location on Eden has an open grill they cook off of. read more

Cheerful hello from Liana as we entered. She was patient when answering my many questions as a first time customer. While waiting for my order, I observed Liana and Ryan work well together and get orders out expeditiously. Hard workers with great attitudes. Interior of Alohahola was clean. Service was good. Food did not disappoint. We'll be back! read more

The food is delicious and affordable! The dishes are pretty big, my family of 4 can have two of their chicken dishes and it feeds all of us. You have to try the pop stickers, they're so good! read more

Oh my goodness I was so blown away by this place. I ordered the Hawaii bbq with fried rice and mac salad. The meat is so tender and full of flavor. The fried rice soft and fluffy and the mac salad had that perfect level of sweetness. It connects to Joyu so you can get your boba too! This place definitely gives you awesome aloha vibes. My husband said the staff were also welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be making Alohahola one of my main go to spots for a comforting meal. read more

Getting to this location is a nightmare. Traffic is insane. Luckily? The food is well worth the hassle. Service is slow. There is very limited seating. It's pretty clear that this location caters more towards take out. I removed star for it because it shouldn't take so long for an order to be prepared. Again, I'm willing to cut some slack for this because the food is outstanding and the portions are generous. We got a poke bowl, teriyaki chicken, and spam musubi (forgot to take a photo). The poke bowl was massive. Everything in it was fresh and delicious. The teriyaki chicken also came in a generous size. We were only able to eat half our food and took the rest to go. So much tasty food! Already planning what we will order next. Highly recommend, just mentally prepare yourself for the traffic and perhaps order your food ahead so the wait isn't so long. read more

The Garlic Shrimp was good it does have the Shell and feet on, the rice could be a little sticker for ture rice from Hawaii. Over there we call it sticky. The Hawaii BBQ Beef, was amazing. The Beef was very tender. The Mac Salad was great. We enjoyed our dinner. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We will definitely go back. We lived in Hawaii for 3 years. And been back many times. Always looking for good Hawaiian food. It was great to see the place had a great traffic flow. A lot of people coming in to order. They should do well.

We ordered Alohahola on Uber eats. It's great to see more Hawaiian food options in the Hampton Roads area. The order arrived on time and was packed very neatly which I appreciate the attention to detail. They pack to go orders in a reusable bag, which is also a nice touch. The food was excellent overall. My favorite food items are the Crispy Spam Musubi - it is a must try. Their macaroni salad was surprisingly very good, I never get excited for macaroni salad, so I was impressed. Crab Rangoons were a good appetizer. Their Hawaiian Curry Katsu is another one of my favorites. There is a 50 cent option to add spicy to your dish, I also do not recommend this option. I love spicy, but the red spicy sauce was too much for me, or if you do add it, have it on the side instead of poured on top of your food. With their meals I personally prefer their white rice over their fried rice. I also tried their grill spam fried rice, it's a popular dish, I was disappointed because the picture online looked much fresher than what we were served. There were no peas or eggs in the fried rice. Which in the picture online looks like it comes with. It was like they took their plain fried rice and added grilled spam, pineapple and green onions afterwards. It did not taste cohesive to me. Another item I would not get again is their shrimp shumai, I personally like it steamed instead of fried and this did not seem to be an option here. Hawaii beef mix was okay, the beef was a little tough for me. Overall it was a good experience and I will be trying more of their dishes. read more

I went there yesterday and being from Hawaii I asked if the owners were from Hawaii and was told "no" but some of the workers were. Ok. So I asked if they had Lau Lau and they looked like they didn't know what that was. So I just ordered a Chicken Katsu with extra katsu sauce and a Hawaiian Sun Lilikoi Juice . When I got home, I dint have my juice in the bag and I didn't have my extra katsu sauce (didn't taste like it) and the katsu was a little over done. Was looking forward to that Hawaiian Sun!! read more

Excellent food and service. I always get the katsu and it's cooked perfect every time. I always pare my meal with a delicious signature Hawaiian drink. One of a kind place and people. Mahalo! read more

Now I can finally get my Hawaiian fix close by! Nice spot to grab and go. They did have a few tables and some window seating. It looks like they have a self-order spot I didn't notice it until I was waiting for my food. Which came out pretty quick about a 10 min or less wait. The staff was friendly, the environment was very clean. They even had a "sanitized" sign on the clean tables. The decor was of course Hawaiian theme. I ordered the beef plate meant to get the beef rib plate though. I was in a rush and didn't correct myself . All good! I'll just have to come back again SOON :) the portion size was very generous. I could barely eat half of the plate. The spam musubi was probably my favorite! Lots of flavor. They gave me some sauce but I couldn't figure out what kind of sauce it was but it was DELICIOUS. Poured some on my musubi and dipped some of my bbq beef in it too lol. There is a parking lot but space is limited. It's on the busier side of Battlefield- especially during rush hour. read more

system for ordering delivery is poor. This shows a poor business. I refuse to provide credit card information over the phone to some teenager working on the weekend. They have lost my business. read more

My husband and I tried Alohahola for the first time, and we were really impressed! I got the Hawaii BBQ shrimp and fried shrimp with mac salad and fried rice. The shrimp had great flavor, and the fried shrimp was perfectly fried, which I really appreciated. It also came with a teriyaki-like sauce that was so good. We ordered takeout, and pickup was super easy. I went back and tried the honey soy garlic spicy chicken--it had great flavor and was a big portion (I couldn't even finish it!). It wasn't that spicy, though. Between the two, I think I prefer the shrimp, but I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

"Alohahola truly feels like a home away from home. Being from Hawaii, I was so excited to find food that tastes just like back home. The atmosphere is welcoming, the AC was a lifesaver in this heat, and everything just felt refreshing. Great food, great people--I'll definitely be coming back." read more

Really friendly service with fast, quality, food. The Japanese/Hawaiian fusion is absolutely delightful and the overall decor, while a little campy, is overall fun. Sure, dinner for me and my wife was a bit pricy for the type of restaurant it is, but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will we be back? Absolutely. read more

I was happy that there was little traffic getting to this spot and the 4.7 Yelp rating had me excited to try it. I ordered the Hawaii Beef Teriyaki and unfortunately the food fell flat. The beef lacked flavor and the mac did not hit the mark either. The portions were generous for the price and the service was fine. The restaurant itself was okay, but the experience was not memorable. I probably would have given it three stars if Joyu Coffee was not attached to the space. I headed there right after. Sorry, I didn't take a photo read more

The lady who waited on us, Kiki, was very pleasant. The music was a little loud for such a small place. They have four tables and some counter/seating. Both my companions got the Hawaii fried rice, which one very much enjoyed, it comes with beef, chicken, shrimp and pineapple. The other wasn't a huge fan and wouldn't get again. I tried their teriyaki chicken. Huge portions, but there are somethings that make me disinclined to come back. Several of the chicken pieces had such a gristly texture, i eventually stopped trying to hunt down ones i could eat. The 'veggie" side is just straight shaved raw cabbage. I dont mind cabbage, but when you say, sub out the macaroni salad (not a macaroni salad girl) for more veg, finding that is the veg is rather disappointing. I did try the spring rolls - nicely fried but the filling was oddly mushy. Four our three meals, two waters and a coke i spent a little over 50 bucks. Still they seemed pretty busy, not my cup of tea. read more

Food was amazing, Serve was good, big portion good price. I loved this place, I will be back soon.

The short ribs are SOOO GOOD and when you're craving musubi this is EXACTLY where you want to be. Truly hit the spot. The mango lover drink did taste like straight concentrate but still refreshing for sure. My fav part was THE PORTIONS bc you will definitely take home leftovers. Definitely a Chesapeake gem read more
