Portions were very good. Teriyaki chicken was super delicious but the chicken skin was soggy by the time we got it. The BBQ chicken was very good but would have been better with the teriyaki sauce. Saiman was just ok. Really good vegetables but the BBQ pork was dry and not too good of flavor. Egg rolls were awesome. Overall, we were starving after travel so it was good but I'm not sure ai would go back. Eating in the restaurant may have been better than Door Dash since there was time between and I couldn't get extra sauce or anything.

Came in with the family and left a big tip even though it was counter service ordering. Poke ($12.49) looked and tasted OLD. Asked for some fresh white onions to try to make it taste better and they wanted to charge $1.00 for onions. Asked manager Dennis "Junebug" to make this issue right for us and he said there was nothing he could do...well he could've given us $1.00 worth of white onions but he refused to do it. He also couldn't care less that we were unhappy over this little thing. Sad because we have always come here with our out of town family and guests but there's plenty of other better Hawaiian places that care about serving good food and care about their customers.

Hawaiian people took delicate care to their recipes. And if your going to sell their recipes and call it Aloha. As a company outside Hawaii you best uphold their "Hawaiians & Locals" of Hawaii!! Their essence basis of thier recipes and shared recipes strictly and soecifically from Asian cultrural sharing. They cooked together and gel together. Hawaii pronounced each vowel is Very part of Hawaiian cultural. If Mexican and Spanish speaking runs the show speaking and making it up as they go to the customer. You have totally disgraced the Aloha. Aloha is Hawaiians offering love in The UTMOST HAWAIIANS WAY. NOT NO MEXICAN WAY Musubi has always pronounced properly. So this Spanish change from Hawaiian mix cultural ways to a off beat change now called MASUBI.. How wrong to betray their love based behind the sharing of their is Aloha. Not rearranging their respect of feeding neighbors and locals from the islands. Granted we cannot have them cook in the back house. But don't you ever disrespect ALL THEIR I START OF THEIR RECIPES I TO MEXICAN AND SPANISH. THEN CALL YOUR RESTAURANT.. OLA KITCHEN!!! I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. BECAUSE... ALOHA IS LOVE NOT A EAT RACE OF QUICK HUSTLING MONEY using their Love in Hawaii.. Into a Mexican/Español hustling restaurant!!!

I don't know how this place stays in business. Food was ok, worst Hawaiian I've had in Las Vegas. Service was not any better.

Delicious and fresh food. Many choices on the menu. Reasonable prices. Good sized portions. We got take out, due to Covid.

Terrible. Highly recommend eating literally anywhere else. Had the combo plate and every meat was like rubber and had zero flavor. Since it was brought out in two minutes there's no way this was freshly cooked. Zero BBQ favor. Crab Rangoon were overcooked and edges so hard one cut my mouth. Incredibly disappointing. Really awful food

This place has a great atmosphere in the bar area! Great for groups to kareoke and dance! Super fun! Kalbi Ribs are amazing and to die for! Rice and Macaroni Salad was okay but dang those ribs were so good! Customer service super amazing, well attended, and they deeply care that everything is right and delicious. Amazing customer service and I can’t wait to go back!

So I ordered 4 items from this place via UBER. They give you lots of food but the food isn't very stpectacular. The mixed BBQ platter was the best item. The Siam noodles were undercooked. The curry beef uses large chunks of beef that is tough and cheap. The musubu were big as well. The portugese sausage and spam musubi were both big and ok. I prefer L & L over this place.

With four locations in Las Vegas, and recurrent “Best of Vegas” nods across several categories since inception, Aloha Kitchen & Bar remains busy mid-pandemic thanks to a strong following from native Hawaiians as well as guests happy to embrace Sin City’s “9th Island” status. Currently open for dine-in and take out, all the usual Apps offering delivery from 8am until after midnight, it was at the 2605 South Decatur Boulevard store that several combos were picked up minutes prior to 11:30am on Saturday, everything packed and ready as promised from Aloha Kitchen’s safe and courteous staff. Driven just twelve minutes home for consumption, Styrofoam clamshells slightly compromising golden Chicken Katsu as well as thickly battered Fish, diners familiar with Hawaiian Cuisine will expectedly find plenty of Rice packed alongside hefty portions of Protein, plus creamy Macaroni Salad offered in plastic containers in order to maintain a temperature that is cool and appropriate. Built largely on the “Plate Lunch,” though “Sides” of most items can be ordered to taste something specific or round out a meal, it was beginning with well-marinated Kalbi that lunch got started, its bone-in nature the only real difference compared to Sugar and Soy Teriyaki available atop Beef as well as Chicken. Incorporating diverse influences, the Philippines’ Lumpia found Pork-stuffed alongside miniature Egg Rolls that are more expensive yet less flavorful, those in the know will recognize Saimin as mandatory, in this case served without Broth but still featuring lots of sliced Pig and Scallions amidst the springy Egg Noodles. Known to take their Swine serious, classic Kalua Pig’s smoky top-note differentiating it from Adobo brightened by Acid, it was wrapped in Taro Leaves that impart a slightly bitter flavor that Pork Lau Lau proved quite delicious while Aloha Kitchen’s “Rice Lovers Omelette” seems a little weird to those more familiar with European Food, though both its flavor and texture are enjoyable.
Don't get food poison!!! I ordered spicy shrimp and it was bad. It tasted disgusting. I called the new restaurant on bicentennial where I ordered the food and the lady told me. "Maybe you don't like the flavors" wow. unbelievable. I won't order again very disappointed

Being born and raised in 808 land and living on the mainland, okay...I get that local peeps love to eat comfort food from home...but on a trip to Vegas this past week, thought we would try a local food place that was not the California Hotel restaurant! After a late night on the Strip, was looking for some local grindz and saw that Aloha Kitchen was open, so we went...and now posting a “buyer beware” warning — this place has no clue about local Hawaii plate lunch and the prep and cooking techniques! Ordered the Kal bi Mix Plate — gotta admit, the kal bi was actually decent, but the rest of the plate was a HUGE disaster! The rice was soooo mushy (eh, local style sticky rice doesn’t mean that the rice grains are almost like mochi!), the mac salad was lacking flavor...but the unreal part was the teriyaki chicken was NOT MARINATED, was cooked with the SKIN ON, and cooked on a flat top (griddle)...then while the chicken katsu was cooked fine, they DO NOT have 808 style katsu sauce!!! The teriyaki sauce — not sure what recipe they use, but the vinegary “bite” was an unpleasant experience to endure since they did not marinate the chicken thighs in teriyaki sauce! Also, REMOVE the skin from the chicken before cooking!!! Name one plate lunch place in Hawaii that has the teriyaki chicken skin on and served...I have never experienced that anywhere! Chicken katuse dipping sauce — the karsu was served with a sauce that many sushi places serve with gyoza — it was not the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper kine chicken katsu sauce served in Hawaii! (The fact that on the mainland, L&L serves sweet and sour sauce as katsu sauce does not excuse this mistake!) When I asked for “katsu sauce” the cook came to the front and offered me a container of teriyaki sauce! I asked if they had the Hawaii style ketchup katsu sauce and he had no clue what I was talking about...ughhhh!!! If you’re going to sell local Hawaii food, then do it right!!! OMG... I am not going to spend more time talking about they tenpura and teri chicken mix plate that my wife ordered...that was a joke too. As the title of this post says...BUYER BEWARE!!! It is apparent that the owners and cooks are not from Hawaii and do not care about their poor attempt at serving LOCAL style food at their location on Decatur Blvd.

I can't believe I'm just finding out about this place. They were the Gold Winner for Best Hawaiian Restaurant in the Best of Las Vegas Review Journal in 2019 and for good reason! We tried their signature mochi pancakes, and omg, it was so freakin good! It was the right amount of sweetness, and the texture was on point, a perfect chewiness. Also ask for the their coconut syrup. It complements the pancake so well. We also tried the meat jun, garlic shrimp, and the furikake chicken. It was all so delicious! The garlic shrimp had a breading on it, which gave it some crispiness, and it was very flavorful. The workers here are so friendly as well. You really feel the love, not only to their customers but in the food as well. If you're looking for some serious ono grindz, check this place out. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other items!

The wait was soooooooo long! I order two meat Jin plates and a musubi and I waited over 45 minutes. My husband was late to work and it was just a big mess of a wait. Not happy.
