This place was an amazing spot to eat at in Disney Springs and had some of the best food I ate…read moreduring my trip in Florida. 4.5/5 We came pretty late to the establishment after a long day at the theme parks. We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

We arrived around 8:15 p.m. and didn't leave until approximately 10:40 p.m. Despite being there for…read morenearly two and a half hours, our order consisted of two appetizers, an order of Brussel sprouts, two desserts, a bottle of spring water, and two virgin mojitos. For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

I ordered the turkey, mac n cheese, string beans, and djon djon plate, and my husband got the jambalaya plate. And we got two drinks: cherry lemonade and fruit punch. 0/10. The turkey tasted old, the pickles were spoiled, the rice was disgusting, the mac n cheese tasted like boxed Velveeta mac and cheese with onion powder and garlic powder... no salt. My husband took a few bites from his food and said it just tasted like rice and shrimp, no flavor whatsoever. I'm convinced these people get paid to review this place. Never again! Edited response after reading the owner response: Instead of the owner taking ownership of their nasty food, they want to bd combative in the response left under my post. Someone else calls out the food being tasteless and gets asked to come back to make it right. My opinion on the food IS MY OPINION. I don't ever write reviews for people, but that I had too. WE COULDNT EVEN EAT THE FOOD, so we tossed it out when we got home and had to buy food elsewhere. It was unacceptable. We are not from Orlando, we are out of towners, so how can we come back??? The food is trash and that's that and you pay for reviews PERIOD! If it weren't paid it would be better. I'm not the only one saying the food is nasty. Accept the fact and be better. Claiming to come back and speak to you as if one can speak to an owner behind a window... please. I still stand ten toes on my review! They have zero decorum, piss poor attitudes and customer service. I should have called the health department and report them for serving Poor quality food Since they want to be nasty to people who don't leave them positive reviews.

The location is cool being right next to Alfie's Lounge and the environment has a good vibe. But honestly the food was underwhelming for the price. The burger was just okay and there was no option to customize or add toppings which felt limiting. The fries were stale, almost like they had been refried, which was disappointing. For $16 I was expecting something a bit more elevated and it just did not deliver on that front. The service is there and the potential is there. Hopefully the food catches up because with the right improvements this could be a really solid spot.

It was so good I barely got any pics. Also tried the loaded tots which I personally wasn't a huge fan of the seasoning they put. If you like chopped cheese you would love these.

It was a simple occasion, but the menu definitely left me curious. There's enough variety there that I'll need to come back and explore more.

It feels nice and relaxed in here no matter the weather outside. Again, we enjoyed the experience but the service was fairly slow.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

It's in a strip mall, but the space inside is done up pretty well. Very Aloha. Very cozy. The service was A+, too. Very friendly people who helped me figure out that the only way to go for a first visit is to sample everything. And the food came out timely. Everything tasted freshmade. Great vibes from everything. So we started off with the Aloha Special (Combination Plate: Mochiko Chicken, Crispy Pork Belly, and Ono Shrimp. Mac Salad topped w/Kani Krab). Literally some of the best chicken I've had in my life. Part chicken katsu, part Korean fried chicken, just a really magnificent thing. Order this, please. The pork belly was nice and crispy and flavorful. The shrimp read a little too salty, though. If you're considering the shrimp, just be wary. The Surfside Sample (Combination Plate: Luau Pig, Beef Short Ribs and Ono Shrimp) was a little less impressive. If you have to choose between the combo plates, pick the other one. Pork was good, had a yummy, sticky sauce on top. The short ribs were good, too. Not too chewy or anything. And, the return of the shrimp. I also got the Spam Musubi (Spam with sweet sauce and rice, wrapped in Nori), because of course I had to. I will never see a musubi on a menu and not order it. This one was good. Standard. You won't be disappointed. Overall, a superb five star meal. I'm very glad I came here, and I would love to come back.

Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen shares a parking lot with other businesses so parking might be limited. I was fortunate to get a spot near the front door after finding a space someone had just vacated. Upon entering, my friends and I sat at the first two available tables to our right. The restaurant was busy and there weren't any tables big enough for the 6 of us. We had to manage with the two separate high top tables that were next to each other. We then got in line and waited our turns to order. Giang was amazing! He was patient and answered all our questions. He even gave some great recommendations. After we paid for our food, we got our buzzers and went back to the tables to wait. We didn't have to wait long. Once the buzzer alerted me that my order was ready, I went to the pick up area to get my food and drink. I had the Ahi and Avocado Inari. The Inari are stuffed Tofus with rice and selected protein. I also had the Salmon Poke Bowl. Giang had suggested the Lilikoi Passion Refresher which I got. The food was delicious and generously portioned. The salmon and Ahi were fresh and delicious. The Lilikoi Passion was refreshing. The popping boba was a great addition to the refresher. While enjoying the food, drinks and each other's company, a gentleman approached us and told us he stop in to Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen because he saw us as he was walking by and thought we were enjoying ourselves and the meal. It's because of us he came in and bought food. I sure hope he enjoyed his meal as much as we did!
