The food has been the best I've found on island so far, and cheap too?? I might just have to make this a weekly trip. Such nice folks run the place too!

At some point, it doesn't matter if the food is good. Waited for 1 hour and a half for the food to come and even when the food comes out, it is the wrong order. Seems like the local that's a returning customer gets special treatment, their order would come first even though we ordered first. Terrible experience...

The sweetest husband and wife run this little, now TAKEOUT ONLY, shop. I've been eating here for years and the consistency and quality has never wavered.Lemon beef salad is an absolute must - tons of beef, herbs, garlic, and daikon perfectly seasoned and priced. The chicken wings are also the best I've ever had! Perfectly crispy and juicy, make sure to use a healthy portion of the salt and pepper it comes with to take it to the next level!Parking can be limited, but street parking is also available most times of the day (watch for tow away times on King St. during commuter hours)

I've been searching far and wide for the best pho on the island, and I have to say that this is probably it! I first tried Aloha years ago when I first PCSed to the island and was living out of a Waikiki hotel. Now living closer in the area, I frequent this restaurant at least twice a month. I pretty much just always get the pho dac biet with an additional side of tendon. Large is pretty sufficient, but the xlarge portion is massive. If you get the pho tai, they give a LOT of rare sliced beef. The broth is super clear and fragrant. Another winner is their fried butter chicken wings. Wow. Wowowoeow is it delicious. It comes with a lemon wedge and salt and pepper to sprinkle on, which just makes the flavor pop. Comes with 7 wings, and is topped with tons of butter sautéed onions. Sometimes I'll get the banana tapioca dessert, which comes with little taro chunks - perfect amount of sweetness.The owners/staff are super friendly and provide great customer service. Note that it's takeout only, no longer serving in-house. Order usually take roughly 20 minutes, but may be longer during dinner rush. I also appreciate that everything is in eco-friendly packaging. Parking is shared among all the other nearby establishments, and can get packed. Highly recommend for takeout!!!

Still love this place. Miss when it had dine in but the takeout containers aren't too bad and the food holds up after the drive home, just reheat the pho broth in the microwave if it cools. Still my favorite pho. The chicken wings are also so underrated. Had no idea a vietnamese restaurant woud make such amazing chicken. Lemon beef salad is also a great portion.

A must try restaurant! Aloha Vietnamese Food is a family own business that provides its customers with an array of food that is light, fresh, flavorful, and crisp-tasting for a reasonable price. Each bite you take, whether it's from a banh mi, lemon beef salad, pho, or even their porkchop and rice plate. The flavors are consistent and always taste fresh. Take out only. The average wait time for your food to be done would be 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how many items were ordered.Everything on their menu tastes great. I recommend the following items:*Fried chicken wings*lemon beef salad *Thai tea*Vietnamese coffee*combination banh mi*lemongrass chicken banh mi*spring rolls (made in-house)*house fried rice*caramelized Claypot catfish*combination plate *banana tapioca (made inhouse)Inside is clean and organized. Aunty and uncle are the nicest people. Service is good PaymentCash or creditParking Private lot or street parking (free after 5pm)

Good for late night, but kind of skimpy for the price. I ordered a bbq chicken/spring roll plate that was $15 and they gave me one scoop rice that was smashed down with one piece of chicken breast that was small and one spring roll. I was a little irritated coming home and seeing that because in the other pictures it had 2 rolls and the plate looked more filled.The sandwiches are normal though. I recommend those lolIts takeout only.
Aug 2023 no indoor seating, takeout only. Call in an order for efficiency as the parking lot can be crowded and pickup is speedy. Bright and clean indoors.Always consistent and delicious. I enjoy their spring roll as it's tightly wrapped, filled, and fried to perfection. I'll also order the fried shrimp appetizer from time to time (I recommend it). I'll order bun instead of pho when I want some of cool veggies, which are always fresh.I've never had fried chicken like this anywhere else, like it's wrapped in a delicious crackling crust. Can order without onions.Papaya salad isn't spicy but it's tasty to eat multiple times over!

I Heart Aloha Vietnamese Foods!What a lifesaver! I had just finished working First Friday, and I was hot, dirty, and hungry. I didn't want to sit down and eat, and Zippy's was not appealing but a big bowl of pho was what I really wanted. Yelp "late night bites" and Aloha came up.Tucked away in an unassuming spot, it's take out only, which is great! Ordered #19 brisket and sirloin, XL! and #3 summer rolls. Couldn't wait to get back to my hotel. Everything was soooooo good and hit the spot! I am so glad there's places like this open late for takeout!Mahalo!

My new favorite pho place. Per chance we just happened to visit place as we were yelping the dessert shop next door. We were hungry and decided to try the food due to the large number of high yelp reviews.First off..there is no in door dining. Order your food and wait 15 minutes outside. The owner is very friendly and nice. The inside of the shop is basic however the smell of the soup permeates the store.We ordered beef pho and crispy spring rolls. The beef pho was hearty. The soup unexplainably rich and tasty. The offering was ample. The meats and vegetables all in one dish was so filling! The spring rolls were crispy. There was more than enough for my little family. Will definitely return! Looking forward to our next trip!!!

I love this place's food. I highly recommend the chicken wings with onions, salt, pepper and lemon, and the lemon beef salad, and any of the combination phos.

Hahahahah!!! I just realized I've been here a few times and have NEVER taken a picture of the food :-/ OMG!That's a super über rare thing as even if I do start before my phone I somehow capture it but something must've been in the noodles cause my hangry mood kicked it into a trance mode and I have no proof of my bliss.Located in Old Stadium Square parking is the biggest challenge as other businesses it shares with vs stall are sadly off kilter. Sadly and probably at its convenience it's take out only and has kept it's covid system exactly as is, no seating whatsoever with very minimalist decor it is best to call ahead since everything is made to order and does take awhile but is so worth the wait.Absolutely friendly staff always ready for any questions and are patient, as I do always get something veggie here he makes sure if egg or other items typically comes with the dish is acceptable for me which is great as I do have allergies and clarity is always gratefully appreciated.I always get the Pad Thai which isn't they dry type and is a bit more saucy but is just on point and delicious always...they do have a lot of signage which may seem extreme but knowledge is a wonderful thing and it's who doesn't like something that's freshly made.You know I gotta go back to show what keeps me coming back besides having some great late night hours (5pm to midnight) and are closed on Thursdays and I promise to let my phone eat first...lmao!Thank you!
