Aloha Kitchen

This place is super awesome and a little whole in the wall place with so much flavor , creativity, and atmosphere. Such good flavor in every bite from beginning to end . The staff very friendly and helpful . Can't wait to come back !!!

I recently ordered the #2 plate, which includes bulgogi meat and chicken katsu. The chicken katsu was delicious, crispy, and flavorful. However, the bulgogi meat was a bit chewy and quite salty, indicating it was marinated well but perhaps a bit too much for my taste.The plate comes with rice, a small portion of raw cabbage, a choice of mac salad or greens, and an orange slice. The mac salad stood out to me; it was a creamy blend of macaroni and potato salad, which was a delightful surprise. I do wish the plate included cooked cabbage instead of raw, but overall, everything was great.It was a hole-in-the-wall vibe, and Guy Fieri has even visited! Unfortunately, you can't order online because their website isn't functional, but you can easily call in to place your order.

You did me wrong Guy. This is the second place in the Valley that I bookmarked after the show and again it's a miss.Maybe it would have been better if the kid at the register could have suggested something, but he had a blank stare on his face. Also dont bother turning the tablet around if all you did was just take my order: a kiosk could have done that!Food: We had to sandwiches, which may have also influenced the opinion. Maybe a bulgogi or katsu plate would have been a better option. The burger buns that are used are flimsy and the sauce drenches the lower bun, causing it to fall apart immediately. So now you are grabbing a fork and knife to make it work.Service: Again, took our order and dropped off plats 25 min after placing an order. Definitely not what we expected when we ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich. I asked for fries to be well done, they weren't. I was asked how I want my burger, I said med-well, got it well. Overall the burger was massive and decent, but for $15 (w/fries) I could get a better tasting combo at 5-Guys.There are a few other dining spots in the small strip mall and we were lucky to find the only open spot.

Aloha Kitchen might not win any awards for ambiance, but it more than makes up for it with its food. Nestled in an older strip mall, the place has a bit of a dingy feel, and the parking situation is less than ideal. The queueing system for ordering could use some work, and the drink and condiment stations often look like they've seen better days. Despite these drawbacks, the place is always bustling, with a line out the door--a testament to its popularity.Now, let's get to the good stuff: the food. Aloha Kitchen serves up amazeballs teriyaki and rice that hits the mark every single time. This is Pacific Islander cuisine done right, with flavors that transport you straight to the islands. The food here is the star of the show and easily overshadows any shortcomings in the atmosphere.Service is pretty standard--order at the counter, and they'll bring your food to you. It's not particularly remarkable, but it gets the job done. The staff keeps things moving efficiently, which is crucial given the constant stream of hungry customers.In a nutshell, Aloha Kitchen is a diamond in the rough. The ambiance might leave something to be desired, but the incredible food makes it all worthwhile.

Dropped in to give the restaurant a 2nd try, Ordered the laulau plate, it didn't come with mac salad so did a side order of it. Service was good. The food was ok overall. The highlight was the laulau, moist tasty & a good portion. The rice was ok, the chicken long rice had no flavor & unsure why the noodles were so thin. Lomi lomi was ok. The Mac potato salad was unusual- color was different and never had Mac salad with carrots. And there were flies inside the restaurant flying around us & the plates of food. It didn't make for a good eating environment.

So I found this spot on Yelp, went with very low expectations and they blew me out of the water. There's not one thing I had that was not delicious. Do yourself a favor and get that fried shrimp. Also had a fish sandwich and it was delicious. It's located in a very unassuming strip mall but it was the perfect way to end my day in the Gilbert area. Best Hawaiian food in the area.

My husband and I stopped by here for lunch and it was so yummy! Some of the best Hawaiian food I've ever had. The service was great and although the restaurant is basic and food is served on paper plates, the food more than makes up for it! I got the Saturday special with the kalua pork, chicken long rice, Lomi salmon, Lau Lau pork, and rice. The Lau Lau pork was life changing oh my goodness!! It was SO tasty. This is now my favorite Hawaiian place I've eaten in the valley. I will 100% be back. And food was super affordable too!

We have been here a few times, but I never reviewed it for some reason. First thing that sets it apart is Guy Fieri at here, so that is a huge plus. I'll give you fair warning this place isn't about atmosphere at all. It's pretty basic inside. Very clean, but basic. Super friendly service. And a great variety on the menu.I ordered the mix plate number 3 which was the teriyaki chicken and Katsu chicken with rice and the macaroni potato salad combo. And my wife ordered the teriyaki chicken with rice in the mixed greens salad.The chicken is not chicken breast which is usually a deal buster for me but I will have to say that the way they prepare their food I do not mind it at all. It is delicious. I would say that they probably need to put just a little bit more teriyaki sauce and a little bit more of the katsu barbecue sauce on the chicken. That's probably the main reason why I did not give them a five-star rating.I thought the meal was very affordable we did not get drinks but everything came out to just a little over $32 with an appetizer. I highly recommend going to this restaurant.

This is a good Hawaiian takeout or sit-down restaurant. Theres a large selection of Hawaiian food but sadly Kalua Pork is only available on Wednesdays. I had the spam loco moco and spam musubi. Both were really good but the gravy on the loco moco tasted more like gravy from a Salisbury steak than gravy I'm used to in Hawaii. It definitely wasn't bad. It was very good, just maybe a little less authentic than I hoped for. Prices are reasonable and portions were big. I'll be back.

The food was amazing and the portions were good. One plate was enough for two of us. The gentleman at the front was very kind and friendly. We engaged in a short conversation and he was very kind. Great service and great people and amazing food.
