Aloha Sushi

I got lunch here with a friend who said she liked their poke bowls. I ordered a bi bim bap with shoyu poke because I wanted the choice of 5 veggies it comes with. The veggies were okay. They have a decent variety to choose from including namul, kim Chee, seaweed salad, Mac salad, Choi sum, cabbage, cucumber kim Chee, lotus root, long rice noodles, and several others. I would give the poke 2 stars because it was definitely frozen with slightly mushy texture, and seemed a little waterlogged. It had a slight ahi flavor. To call it "poke" is a stretch of imagination, though, because it had barely any shoyu, about 5 fine threads of onion, and maybe 5 pieces of chopped green onion. I ate most of the veggies, a few bites of poke, then just gave up because it just wasn't worth the calories. There's a lot of better poke bowl places downtown for a few bucks more.

Was looking for a place to eat ramen on my lunch break. This place was the best distance and it looked good. I ordered the beef mandoo ramen. Very good. It hit the spot to be honest. It comes out hot so gotta let it cool down a bit. I also ordered this avocado roll. Also super yummy. I loves it. I think I'm gonna be home here a lot more now that I know the food is good.

I'm obsessed with Aloha Sushi. I seriously come here at least 2x/week for their vegetable bi bim bap. Located in the lobby of Topa Financial Center, Aloha Sushi is one of the last eating places left in our building. Thank goodness they are still here because I'd be saddest to see them leave.During lunch, they have a lot of pre-made bentos that you can select from, along with some sushi rolls and sides. You can also order sushi, curry and ramen off of the menu and wait for them to make it then. But the only reason I come here is for their bi bim bap. Order your bi bim bap at the cash register and you can do it with just vegetables and choice of white/brown rice. Then you can also add on either chicken, bbq beef, spicy ahi or poke. Their spicy ahi is really good, but it's really just a dollop so I'd stick to the vegetable bowl. After you pay for the bowl, then you select your 5 veggies--they usually have about 10 different ones to choose from so selection is good. Finally, they pour a light sauce on it, but give you the spicy Korean red sauce on the side (which I like that it's separate) and pack you a bowl of miso soup!Enjoy!!

Wanted a quick bite but was too lazy to leave the building so decided to head downstairs to Aloha Sushi. I've been here a couple times for breakfast and lunch and it's always just okay. The ladies here are always so friendly.On this occasion I had the spicy ahi with tempura donburi and I was very surprised at how flavorful it was. Good sized portion for only $7.99. sushi rice topped with spicy Ahi and two crispy shrimp tempura. Being Korean owned it also included a small serving of choi sum and Jap chae. Lots of flavor and I'd certainly get it again.

Located in Topa tower, this aloha sushi is my go to lunch spot (I work across the street so you can't beat the convenience!) The ladies that work here are super sweet and the food takes no longer than a few minutes to make. I usually go for the spicy ahi donburi and it comes with a hefty portion of white rice, chop chae, a good amount of spicy ahi (not great, but good!) and a tasty leafy green side dish that I can't remember the name of for $8! A good bang for your buck kind of place!

Cue to the koto! (*traditional Japanese instrument) Slip on that hachimaki!! (*traditional Japanese headband) And sweep the leg!!! (*traditional non-traditional Japanese movie quote)Rettsu taberu sushi! ! Let's eat sushi!!!"In Okinawa, all Miyagi know two things: fish and karate." In downtown Honolulu, all I know is that: I want sushi and don't-want-to-that-walk-far-'cause-I'm-wearing-high-heels-plus-it'-hot-outside-and-I'm-lazy." For all you ladies and (some) gents who feel the same way, (don't worry boys, I won't judge!) this Aloha Sushi restaurant is your solution!Located on the ground floor lobby of the Topa Financial Center (formerly the Amfac building), I come here to get my sushi fix...a lot. The food is both oishii (delicious) and the prices are fairly reasonable.CURRENT SPECIAL. Spend $6 worth of items (sushi, gyoza, 84 chopsticks, whatevs), and get a free drink.Remember..."man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything."*bows* Banzai and you're welcome.P.S. All Japanese translations were provided today by Google. Yes, I googled. Don't judge. I also like to eat sushi with a fork. I am a disgrace to my Japanese ancestors. NO MERCY.

I remember coming here before when I took classes at HPU. Not many people know that there's an aloha sushi hidden in this building downtown. It's a bit cheaper than Ninja Sushi, which is also in the area. I like this place better because I can eat in there and the place is clean most of the time. It's close and convenient, and just like someone said below "I want sushi and don't want to walk that far cause I'm wearing high heels". I find myself coming here for lunch when I'm hungry. Plus, it gives good AC! Great for when you've been walking in the sun after work -_-.Every time I come here, I try something different. Their spicy ahi maki is hella spicy, good thing I had water when I ate that... I really like their udon and so far, all the maki sushi I've tried was delicious. I like the french kiss and shrimp tempura ones! Kept me full till dinnertime.The lady cashier that works there is real nice and she recognizes me after 3 days in a row of coming. She calls me dear :D haha.

I always stop here when I am in the downtown area for their awesome bentos and side orders of chop chae. Very clean and the workers are very polite. Been going here for years and no reason not to go here again.

My kid and I were trying to find sushi for lunch--any sushi would do, so long as the fish was dead--before we had to make an appointment nearby. We searched for this place and finally found it at 12:30. And while we stood there at the menu, making our choices, two of the employees were working on boxing up some food and watching us consider the options. We were about to walk inside, and one of them informs us they aren't taking any more orders for the day.At 12:30. In the afternoon. No more orders. And they wait to tell us this after we've already decided what we want, not when we're looking at the menu and still *maybe* have time to track down a different sushi place.Mind you, the open sign is still up, the lights are on, the door is open, and the smells and sounds of cooking food are all up in the atrium there. But no more orders.And that was that. No apology, no explanation of their usual service hours, nothing. "We aren't taking any more orders today," and he walked away. Sorry I can't offer a better rating, Aloha Sushi, but if I can only judge your food based on your appalling, unapologetic service, you get a single star (see how that's done? now you know how to tell a haole to go away politely next time) and none of my business in the future. We'll find another spot next week. And the week after that. Etc.

Pretty good food! Surprisingly good Korean flavored soups! I've tried the kimchee mandoo ramen and it is by far my fav! The tofu soup with udon is good too. The service is pretty quick, I call in my order ahead of time as sometimes there is a line out the door. Each time I pick up lunch they are very nice and friendly!
