To cut to the chase, we absolutely adored Nijiya and would love it if they had one near us in Walnut Creek/East Bay. They had so many items from takeaway sushi, to pocky and chocolate covered pistachios, to a massive selection of thinly sliced shabu meat, to an entire corner of ramen, to sparkling alcoholic drinks and ramune. We also picked up some canned water chestnuts and fresh green onion for the broth/soup we planned to make. The service was incredibly helpful and prompt, although the checkout area is a bit tight with other customers back to back to you. All in all, we will definitely be back and absolutely loved our visit!

Went for lunch on Friday at 1:30 and it wasn't busy at all. I could see them filling up pretty quickly on other days.

Came here for 25¢ Wing Wednesday and got a whole experience out of this. This is a cool place to…read morekick back and chill, watching sports while listening to Hawaiian songs and eating yummy food. We got the Garlic Noodles, Pork Belly Taco, Kalbi Short Ribs, and of course the Wings, as well as the Ube Colada and Lychee-tini. The Garlic Noodles were delicious. Couldn't stop going back for more with the yummy Garlic flavor. If you love Garlic, you will definitely love these Noodles. The Pork Belly Tacos were just okay. It was cooked fine, but the flavor was just okay. The Kalbi Short Ribs were also just okay. They were cooked fine, but really had little to no flavor. Definitely have had better. As for the Wings, we got the Pa'ina, Sriracha Honey,Salt and Pepper, Garlic Cilantro, and Spicy Mango. The Pa'ina has Sweet Chili Glaze, but too us was just spicy and didn't really have much flavor beyond that. In comparison, the Sriracha Honey we thought had more flavor besides its heat. The Salt and Pepper was a disappointment. It didn't have much flavor and was actually the least tasty of all of them. It was moist like the rest of them, but wish that the Skin was crispy like you expect Dry Rub Wings to be instead of being soggy. The Garlic Cilantro was a good combination with the Fish Sauce, Cilantro, Garlic, Serrano, and Lime Juice if you like Cilantro. The Spicy Mango was actually no really spicy and had a good Mango flavor to it, not that artificial Mango flavor you get with some things Plus, the Ube Colada was thankfully not too sweet, and was well balanced in Alcohol to drink ratio instead of barely tasting the Alcohol or the Ube. The Lychee-tini was also well balanced in both the Lychee and Alcohol flavor. Overall, great drinks, service, and food. Definitely would come here again and try more yummy food.

It's a small, hole-in-the-wall spot with very limited seating, so I almost always order to-go. It's not somewhere I'd plan to linger, but it works perfectly when you need something fast and filling. The portions are generous, which is a big reason I keep coming back. The scoops of fish are noticeably hearty, and my bowl always feels substantial without having to pay for a bunch of add-ons. The quality isn't top-tier poke by any means, but it doesn't taste off or stale either. For the price point, it feels fair and consistent. Overall, it's a solid, convenient option when I want something quick that still tastes good. If you're expecting a high-end poke experience, this isn't that. But if you're looking for a satisfying bowl with good portions and easy takeout, it hits the spot.

I placed a togo order and went in to pick it up. The order was ready before the appointed time. I did not get the croquette musubi.

The whole thing was inedible. This sucks

Underwhelming poke in the Tenderloin…read more Based on the appearance of the bowl, I was expecting bright and fresh flavors, but looks are deceiving. I was disappointed to find the bowl very bland and flavorless. It felt dry. The only sauce was mixed with the salmon pieces and didn't really taste like anything. This left the rest of the bowl lacking flavor and having dry rice. It seems like they just threw in a bunch of random ingredients to take up space in the bowl. I mean, carrots and tortilla strips are definitely interesting choices for a poke bowl. The portion was relatively small for what you pay. The amount of avocado given was just sad. You also aren't able to make adjustments to add other things to the bowl - you're stuck with what is set in the description. For this spot being a very small hole in the wall, I thought I would be noticed and assisted quickly. I was the only person in there but had to wait an unreasonably long time to get my order. I placed the order online long before I walked to the restaurant during my lunch break. When I got there, I sat waiting for probably 10 or so minutes before someone even came out from the back to hand me my food. Maybe their other menu items are better, but I wouldn't recommend Kitchen Aloha for their poke bowls.

Once entered, you are greeted with a cute statue, great for little ones and adults. We got seated pretty quickly at a booth. Different from traditional sushi conveyor belt place, you don't see pre-made dishes around. Instead, each table/spot comes with a screen for placing orders. You can pick up to 4 dishes each time, then added to cart. When your dish is coming, you see the light flashing, then a nice train carries your happiness over. Once unloaded, you push a button and wave bye bye to the train departing. Yes. Super fun for kids. I ordered some sashimi, tofu salad and some sushi. They are super fresh! Service is fast, consistent and friendly. My kids enjoyed goyza, soup, onion rings and some cooked sushi's. We would love coming back again. I can see this to be our go to place in Japan town.
