I can't speak for the ambience, because it was takeout, but the place seems very clean and bright. I was greeted with a smile when picking up my order which speak to someone caring enough about Customer Service. The food was fantastic. My wife and I shared one of their bbq combo plates. Definitely generous enough for two people. I love their spam musubi which we had as an app. A great way to scratch the occasional spam musubi itch. read more

The mixed Hawaiian bbq chicken plate was very well priced for the amount of meat it came with. Also, delicious. Just over all good. My daughter got the Musabi Trio and enjoyed it. It was cute inside. Nice place to grab a fairly quick bite. read more

Just came to say I go back for the teas an embarrassing amount of times! While the staff is still very friendly the teas are the real star of this place! read more

We quickly stopped in for a bite to go and ordered just a few small things. The dumplings and sauce were amazing! I got the egg/spam masubi as well, which was tasty. Next time I need to try a meal with the meats. You order from touch screens and then food comes out from back of kitchen for you to sit and eat at tables or easily take to go. The girl behind the counter was quiet but nice. In a shopping center with a lot of food options so might be a place that typically gets overlooked but def worth a visit. read more

Alohahola - Venturing out trying new things ! Signature Hawaii BBQ Mix and beef dumplings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

What a surprise in the area! We came based on the reviews and enjoyed the meal! The restaurant is in a strip besides Domoishi with a general parking lot for all the businesses in that area. The restaurant is quaint, colorful, and made up of a few tables / booth seating. You order at a kiosk but a worker does manage the front area as well. I got the Signature Hawaii BBQ Mix and I loved it! Protein, rice, and Mac salad. The meat was tender, flavored well, and appropriate for its cost. I also got the beef dumplings and they were very tasty, moist, and not dried out! A casual, clean, vibrant environment respective to a Hawaiian feel. I will go back and definitely will try the wings! read more

I been meaning to try this place, and finally got to do so. Firdt when you walk in it has nice clean colorful theme, and service was spot on. Let's get down to business. Lol I ordered the "Short Rib Combo". The combo comes with rice, macaroni, coleslaw and your protein. The combo was pretty big. The rice was cooked perfect the macaroni salad was tasty and also the salad , but a little disappointed on the short ribs. They we're more like tiny riblets, and not much meat mostly fat. It was tasty, but not worth the extra cost. Now the cool thing is it's connected to another restaurant where you can order your bubble tea drinks. Just go to the back and follow the path. I will definitely come back, but definitely order something else! Peace of tidbit...if you have allergies (peanut) definitely ask, cause I think there are some dishes that have peanut sauce. read more

my favorite hawaiian bbq spot in the richmond area! i absolutely love the short ribs!

Ok first of all I must admit I just returned from Hawaii less than a week ago so real Hawaiian plate lunches are still fresh in my mind. My friend wanted to go so I said k-den let's go! With that said, the ribs (galbi) were decent but really cut weird; so much so that one could get tiny fragments of bone. The katsu was ok but a bit on the dry side; if I just hadn't had been in Hawaii I probably would have scored it higher. The fried rice wasn't really what I expected (see pic) it just was rice with some soy seasoning. Not authentic at all. The Mac salad was very familiar and tasty. The service was a bit slow but acceptable and the place was clean. The decor is typical of a Hawaiian themed place outside of Hawaii- a bit tacky but done tactfully. I would go there again and probably score it much better especially if I haven't had Hawaiian food in a while. They do have Hawaiian sun drinks so I guess that is a big plus. It is worth a try. read more

got the LocoMoco ($14). It was two burger patties served with gravy, eggs, fried rice., and cabbage. The gravy was good albeit on the salty side but was good with everything. Eggs were cooked to an over medium and oozy when opened. The portion is the highlight of the food as it's easily two massive servings. Basically elevated mall food. I did feel weighted down afterwards just by the amount of food here. Overall a good experience and would come back for a quick and easy takeout Hawaiian place.

Alohahola - Loco Moco - Chicken Wings Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

I came in visiting as my first impression, the inside was clean. There wasn't a lot of people, but the staff was friendly. I ordered the Hawaii BBQ Shrimp. I'd say the proportions were pretty big. But even though the proportions were large, the quality of food isn't as well. The sauce on my shrimp was pretty watery and the macaroni salad was decent. The food wasn't the best, but it made up in quantity. read more

So I love Hawaiian food and was so excited to see this location right there next to the hotel my family and I were staying at. Here's the problem though, there was no mention of nuts being in the gravy used for the loco moco and my son is allergic to peanuts. While I do take blame for not asking, I am just utterly surprised there were no signs anywhere indicating nuts were used in any of the dishes. read more

Was highly recommended by my brother to try this place. I was visiting and decided to see what the rave was about. This place being probably one of the only Hawaiian foods in the area, I went back twice over the weekend because it was so good. The Food: I went with the "Signature Hawaiian BBQ Mix". This includes chicken, beef and short ribs with some rice and mac salad. All the meats were incredibly delicious! The meats were full of flavor and incredibly tender. The mac salad tasted really good as well! And as for the portions, the plate meals are huge and so fulfilling. The Service: Service was great! Staff at the front were friendly. You can order with them or at the tablet they have. Food comes out in a timely manner as well. The Atmosphere: Nice and open space. Clean, with plenty of seating to go around for small or big groups. Overall, a 5/5! Great food, friendly staff and huge portions! Highly recommend Alohahola! I'll be back again for sure. read more

I've been meaning to find a Hawaiian place to get my cravings fixed and I found it! It like 12 min from my house which is even better. We had the chicken, beef with macaroni salad. The portion was huge! The staff was super friendly too! The food was all yummy! We'll definitely be back! read more

shop's cutely decorated with various surf/island decorations--smaller but I've always done take out. food is good and service is always pretty fast. I always get the combo, the only complaint is their beef is not the greatest in terms of quality--little meat and fatty but taste is always good. their musubi and specialty drinks are also yummy read more

Alohahola is amazing and honestly one of my new favorite places to eat! It's very clean inside and the service was great. I like the decor and the layout of the restaurant. Probably one of the best things is when you order on the iPads there are pictures of everything. The menu is easy to navigate but the pictures are very helpful in looking at the dish. The food has a Hawaiian theme which means that there is a sweet flavor to it. Everything I had was absolutely delicious and I also loved the pasta salad. I am very picky with the macaroni pasta salad but theirs was great. The chicken and beef were both cooked perfectly. The cabbage was a nice added side with good flavor especially from the meats on top of it. The spring rolls were also delicious. I was also looking at other peoples food and I was highly impressed with every plate I saw. If you leave hungry you did something wrong because these servings are very filling as well. I can not wait to try this place again and try something new. Again if you are in the mood try this place, it's probably one of the best new places in the Richmond area to eat. read more

LOVED this place!! Tried it for the first time today, didn't have many customers but the inside was super clean and nice. Ordered the hawaii bbq mix which came with a little bit of everything and it did NOT disappoint! The entree had macaroni salad, different meats, and some cabbage which was amazing. I also tried out the honey garlic wings, they were good but not my fav. However, very crunchy which i appreciate. Also loved the cute little tote bag they give your food in!! Super surprised not many people go there but def will be coming back to try out other stuff! read more

Alohahola - Signature Hawaii BBQ Mix - Chicken Wings Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

I'm so glad we finally have a Hawaiian restaurant here!! The food is delicious and the portions are massive at a great price. The platter was enough for two meals and it was only $16. The chicken was tender and the shrimps were great. There's cooked cabbage underneath as well. I wish I had known it'd be so saucy cause it spilled in the bag during transport. The mac salad is seasoned well, though I wish the macaroni itself wasn't cooked as soft as it was. The spam musubis were $8 for two which is a bit steep given what it is but sometimes you've got to satisfy a craving. I can't wait to return! I ordered in person through the kiosk and the wait wasn't long at all. They also have online ordering. read more

We've been here about 5 times. Had delivery twice. We were truly impressed the first time. The short ribs were outstanding . Then we noticed the quality of the beef was going downhill. Not sure if it's the beef itself or it's prepared differently. It's no longer in our rotation of places to eat. read more

Would've given three stars but the girl at the front counter asked me for proof of my online order - the only one on the counter - after I provided my name and the exact items in the order. Screams micro aggression. Her response to my annoyance: "Lots of people steal orders." Ummm, when they do, do they provide the name and exact order they're planning to steal? Weird vibe. Anyway, I got some four spam musubis and macaroni salad. Nothing was good. The rice in the musubis was unsalted and not prepared properly. No mirin, rice vinegar, nothing. Straight up plain, short-grain white rice. And there was wayyyyy too much of it. The macaroni salad. YO. It tasted like thick mayo water with overcooked noodles. It was terrible. Another comment said that this isn't even L&L-level Hawaiian and I would agree. It's also not even Ono - another chain. They better step their game up ASAP because this was a hot mess. read more

Omg!! I've tried so many dishes here! Today I wanted a small lunch so I got the kids BbQ bowl, soooo good! Honestly everything I've had here has been really good, the seasonings are delicious, I also suggest their wings, they have a large variety of flavors to choose from. I love their macaroni salad as well, I've ordered that by itself lol! I'm not familiar with Hawaiian food, so if this is authentic, I'm grateful to have this place in Richmond because I am a huge fan! I've never been disappointed, the prices are very affordable, you really get a good amount of food for what you pay for! Not to mention the customer service is always top tier, you can tell they care about their food. read more

My family has frequented this spot almost weekly since it opened because the food is so good, but they've recently made changes to the entrees like replacing their sautéed cabbage with a stringy raw cabbage and offering a new bento box style with much smaller portions, but for the same price. I really miss the previous presentation and hope they revert back to what made them so popular! read more

Alohahola - Signature Hawaii BBQ Mix - Chicken Wings Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

This review is coming from a local boy from Hawaii. My order: Hawaii Short Rib & Katsu w/ fried rice Highs: Food was tasty and well-seasoned Even though the fried rice wasn't what I expected, it still tasted good and you don't get charged extra for it. The place was clean and cute, and the service was good. Lows: I was expecting more food for $18. The typical plate lunch experience is two scoops rice, one scoop mac salad, and your entree. The pictures on the wall in their restaurant and in their menu even show that. You get one scoop of mac salad, and one scoop of rice. The katsu sauce was decent, but I would prefer the more Japanese style katsu sauce. The short ribs were awesome but also a let down. The flavor was on point so kudos to the marinade and cook. The let down was that it was served very oddly. Normally with a three bone short rib, it's either served with all three bones connected, or cut into individual bones. Either of those two ways is perfectly fine. However, for whatever reason, it appears the three rib short rib was cut into 5 or more pieces. And not just the meat, but the bones were sliced clean through as well. So what you end up with is bone fragments that range from the size of your thumbnail to your pinky nail. It was weird, and to be honest, a little dangerous. When I took my first bite I was lucky enough to not chomp down on a small piece of bone that I didn't see. After that, I had to carefully eat each piece of meat as sometimes it was difficult to discern where the bones were. My wife was laughing at me because at the end of my meal I had a small pile of bones on my plate and she asked me if that was how it was supposed to be. LOL! To the owners I have a couple of suggestions: Reduce the cabbage garnish and put another scoop of rice in there. Mac salad, you have a scoop in there, but add a little more. Short ribs, don't cut the bones like that, it's ridiculous and dangerous. If that's a cost saving measure, I suggest you stop. For $18, I feel you can give two, three-bone short ribs, and cut it into 6 pieces. I appreciate your katsu being chicken breast. It was excellent. I noticed it was pounded out and flattened and then also cut into really thin strips to make it seem like I was getting more pieces. I would suggest you stop that also. Here's my bottom line, if I'm back home in HI and I spend $18 on a plate lunch, I know I'm going to get the same level if not better quality of food than your restaurant, AND more of it. Your flavors are there for sure, I'm just asking you to serve it differently. Anyway, regardless of my comments above, again, the food was tasty and I'll be going back for sure. I just won't order the short ribs. When I sample another plate lunch there, I'll come back and change my review if it's better. read more

The reviews I've heard about Alohahola have been really good, so I was so stoked to be able to come here for lunch. We ordered at the touch screen and each meal item gives you plenty of customization options. We ended up getting beef BBQ plates and spam crispy musubi. Everything came out really quickly and they had a station set up so you could get any condiments or utensils you needed. The staff was super friendly even though it was right at open and the restaurant was pretty full. The food was so delicious! It was really fresh and falling off the bones. There was so much, we definitely had leftovers and the leftovers heated really well. I've told all of my friends about this place and we'll definitely be back. If you haven't been, you must go. The amount of food for the price is unbelievable! read more

Crispiest chicken wings I've had in my LIFE! And they stayed nice and crispy even as leftovers. Whew! Alright, let me start from the beginning. I went with my family and we like to try a little bit of everything so we ordered a lot! From the wings to the katsu curry to the galbi ribs w bbq shrimp combo to spam masubi to coconut shrimp to a katsu chicken sandwich to the cheesesteak eggrolls... man it was so much that I can't even remember it all. But the highlights were obviously the wings. I'll keep coming back to try more flavors. The fries were delightful. They were made perfectly and if you order a side of the curry to dip them in? You're pretty much set in the flavor and texture department. And if you want a more islander/sweet/savory sauce for the fries, I recommend using the sauce from the egg rolls. I loved all of the combo meals. They come with Mac salad and rice. The shrimp was made perfectly, both the bbq and the coconut. Galbi ribs are always a hit. The katsu chicken was crispy and went well with the curry. They were all large portions too so we had lots of leftovers. Service was great, everyone was kind and answered any questions we had. The spot is spacious, has a good amount of seating, it's very casual. The ooooonly thing that I'd change is the strength of the boba drinks. They were a little too concentrated in my opinion, I had to water them down to really enjoy the drink. But overall, I'm very happy with my visit and can't wait to go back read more

Great food from appetizers to main course. Quick delivery! I got it for our staff of 35 and they all loved it!

Alohahola is a great casual restaurant to have some super tasty Hawaiian BBQ. There usually two hostess at the counter but you mostly order via kiosk. I opted for the Grilled BBQ Shrimp, which was so tasty and flavorful. I went with a group of 8 people and we all got our orders relatively quickly. Each entree comes with two scoops of white or fried rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. All of the portions were generous and very tasty. Plus the containers make it easy to take home any leftovers! read more

Alohahola - BBQ Shrimp - Chicken Wings Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

There are many Hawaiian bbq places in LA that I used to frequent. So the expectations finding Alohahola was high. It definitely did not disappoint. I ordered the Hawaii chicken mix with fried rice and Mac n cheese. It's a lot of food! I think I made two more meals out of the leftover hahah. The best part about Hawaiian bbq is that it's kind of Asian but not really. Definitely should be a popular flavor with very tender meat, sweet and savory sauces. Yum! read more

This review is for food only since it was delivered to me. We ordered all the popular items on the menu. The food was amazing! The portions are amazing! And OH EM GEE the Philly rolls... phenomenal!! We also ordered the masubi, chicken katsu, Hawaii bbq terriyaki, and the hawaii sesame chicken! All AMAZING! I'm definitely coming back but inside the restaurant. Philly rolls not pictured cuz we ate it so fast! lol read more

Excellent food and I'm so happy to have Hawaiian food near me. The staff is so generous and those beef short ribs are wonderful

So if you are from Hawaii it's a 3 star. No L&L here but if you're not from Hawaii you would probably give it a 4 to 5 star. They give you a good size portion so far. When I went Feb. 23, 2024 the food was not HOT it was like it was prepared and kept under a warmer. The children Katsu was not crispy like when it's cooked fresh. It was just warm. The rice was not hot either. I don't understand why warm is ok but when your food comes out hot it just feels like it's fresh. Felt like it was microwaved warm. The musubi was good but at $4.00 a piece I would not buy it again but had to try it. Spam is a canned meat the cheapest you can find so asking that much is kinda crazy The Loco moco was good lots of thick brown gravy see photo. Enjoyed it's pretty good for this area. read more

Yeah just go and thank me later! Spring roll (4/5) piping hot and a yummy dipping sauce! Spam Musubi (my daughter requested this dish and rated 4/5 and I had a small piece without the seaweed and dipped in the sauce 4/5 ). Hawaiian gravy Katsu chicken (5/5). Flavorful gravy over tender strips of chicken breast with two scoops of white rice (5/5) and a sampling of macaroni salad (4/5)... huge portions and reasonably priced! Super kind staff who helped me decide on what to try! I want to go again tomorrow read more

Ordered take out from here and it was fast, fairly priced, and tasted pretty good! I got the short rib and shrimp. I'll say the short rib was by far the tastiest. The shrimp was a little bland for me but overall tamed my craving for a Hawaiian lunch plate. Came with side of rice and mac salad. If you're looking or a quick plate lunch this is a decent place to go. read more

I was excited about this but it became a let down. This wasn't the typical Hawaiian eatery I have been to. I went two different times hoping I would like this place but the flavors aren't there. The first time I had the BBQ beef mix and it tasted like they took the short ribs and the "other cut" of beef and just stir fried them together. The meat had no sear or deep flavor. The second time I went I got the loco moco. The beef patty was bland and the gravy tasted like it had peanut butter, sesame seed oil, and shaoxing wine. The spam musubi had some type of sauce on the rice that made the rice crumble. While the portions are as big as the take-out you get at the Chinese food stalls at the mall, I expected a little more quality based on the price. Unfortunately, this place is not my cup of tea. read more
