The Good: The customer service is very friendly. Very kind workers who are very helpful and explains the menu well. I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant with the large mural of a Hawaiian beach and simple island decor peppered throughout. The restaurant is also very clean. I also was fairly happy with the portion sizes for the chicken dishes. The vegetables in the Hawaiian plates were cooked very well and were really good complements with the lunch meals. What didn't work for me: The decoration alone is where this stopped feeling like a Hawaiian restaurant. The Hawaiian plates felt more Asian inspired rather than true Hawaiian inspired. The flavor is excellent, don't get me wrong, but I felt it was a bit of an identity crisis. The Beef BBQ short rib pieces were fatty and overcooked. I had only a few tender bites of beef but the rest was so chewy and fatty that I had to spit it out. Also only had 6-7 pieces of short rib for a $20 plate which I didn't really feel was worth it. The chicken katsu was crispy however I didn't care for the quality of the chicken meat. It was very stringy and tough to bite through in some areas. I was very much looking forward to the macaroni salad but it was just fine. I had high hopes for this one but it just wasn't creamy enough to blow me away. If you have ever visited a Hawaiian island and ever felt like you needed a fix of that memorable vacation, this place won't bring you back to those island memories but you will still be treated very well from a very kind staff. Their attitude is very aloha however I hope one day I can take a bite of their meal and be transported back to island vibes. I would recommend this place if you want solid Asian flavors, but not Hawaiian island specific flavors. read more

The staff is the nicest -- every time we come in, they treat us like family. They've even surprised us with freebies before (last time we got a whole extra entrée!). The food is great, especially if you're craving classic Hawaiian meats and a mac salad. Highly recommend if you want great food, generous portions, and the warmest service! read more

Food was fresh and very good. The lady at the register was so friendly I recommended this place

Brand new small diner in newly constructed mini mall along Renner Road in far northeast Richardson. (North side of PGBT190) near Shiloh Road. Behind Freddy's Custard. I saw this when it was being built, came to try it on a Sunday eve. This is counterservice small diner with 7 small tables for 4, and 1 small outdoor table. Plenty of parking in front. Staff is polite & professional. The menu is not as big as Mo'Bettahs, but the orders come out fast. I decided upon Chickeb Katsu (breaded & fried, cut into strips) With green salad, and plain fried rice. I wanted to try Pineapple Fried Rice, but Alohahola does not sub on their combos. I ordered to go since the lobby was clean, but just ordinary. My takeout order came in a sturdy 2 piece plastic tray, with clear top, looked really nice. On a whim, I opened it to take photos. I sampled 1 katsu, it was soggy, not cooked through. So, I tried another katsu,and it was cold in the center. The order was undercooked. The counter staff came right away, and dumped my tray. The cook was told to re-do the order. So, this time, the katsu was cooked, but after eating 4 pieces, these just are not the quality that I am used to. Maybe their contract food vendor went cheap on ingredients, since this is obviously pre-fab. At the same time, both the salad & fried rice were great. The salad was very fresh. $14 for this adventure, and my neighbor's dog will review the rest of the katsu. No ill will toward Alohahola, I hope they do great at this convenient location. The coolers in lobby had Flan, and other nice-looking desserts. The cooler behind the counter had ice creams in Hawaiian / tropical flavors. read more

I noticed this place after looking for a recently closed spot I'd enjoyed nearby, and I'm glad I stopped in for lunch. It's a nice lunch spot with no frills seating and good food for a reasonable price. My daughter loved the fried rice! read more

Second time going. I love it! I got the teriyaki bowl this time and was impressed. Great food and great service

Relatively newly opened Hawaiian spot, that is a family business. The owners and chef are very nice, and made our food fresh as soon as ordered it! 4.5* There is ample parking, and enough seating for groups and friends to sit. There were about 10ish 4 top tables inside, and it is not too crowded at all and the ventilation inside is good, so you don't experience the smoke from the cooking from the kitchen. My fiancé and I ordered the Hawaii BBQ Mix 3 Meat (Mac salad and fried rice side) and the Kalua Pork (double sides of Mac salad). For each entree, you get two options for sides, which you can double up on a side! The fried rice was not bad, but the Mac salad was really the star, and I would double up on that next time. The mix 3 meat included beef, chicken and shrimp - each was cooked well and not dry at all! The Kalua pork was tender, and came with a side of bbq sauce that you can add on top of the pork to your liking. The meat sat on a bed of vegetables that were cooked very well! Typically the vegetables at Hawaiian spots I've been to are really lackluster (more raw), but the vegetables here were seasoned and cooked through well. The portion size for the price point was good. We left feeling full with a few leftovers to spare. We are looking forward to going back! read more

Hawaiian inspired plate lunches in Plano/Richardson. This is a review of the soft opening (they've only been open for 3 days). The owners are super nice & willing to learn more about authentic Hawaiian plate lunches, so that's my reason for a 4 star. I base my findings on the Mac salad. Noodles were overcooked, but as I said, this was only their 3rd day. The white rice was cooked & edible. The chicken katsu was cooked with dark meat which I like so that's a plus there. Katsu sauce..it is probably made for non-Hawaiians. Yet, doable. I'm willing to go back & try it again once they've tweaked their menu. I hope y'all will give them a try because the owners are so nice! read more

Alohahola - Hawaii BBQ - Chicken Wings Near Me - Plano, Texas

I don't think I've been won over by a restaurant as quickly as I was won over by Alohahola. When we arrived to pick up our order, we had a great conversation with the cashier about the restaurant. She offered us a water cup while we waited, talked to us about what entrees she recommended outside from what we had already ordered and even gave us a sample of their pork which was delicious. We were so hungry that we forgot to take pictures of our food but it was more than enough that I have leftovers and can't wait to dig in again tonight. read more
