This Hawaiian Japanese spot really hit it out of the park for me. I like Japanese food, but honestly it can be expensive and a little fussy. Silly me. I should have checked out Kitchen Aloha sooner. It's a great place for a hearty lunch at a good price.There's not much ambiance tbh, though it's cute and clean. You can technically eat there I think? Basically you walk up, order and pay through a digital kiosk, and someone calls you to pick up your food from a counter. Maybe that's how they keep costs low.I got a highly customizable bento that included brown rice (no extra charge), an unagi and avocado roll, meaty pork baby back ribs on steamed veggies, a small salad, and a cup of miso soup for about $15. All delicious. This is a hard deal to beat for a substantial hot meal.

an enjoyable, small spot in san francisco, i decided to give Kitchen Aloha a try since i was in the mood for chicken teriyaki. you can find street parking by the restaurant; the ambiance was nice and slow for a Thursday night. the staff was nice, and they also recommended their spam musubi. it was a great Hawaiian / SF fusion experience!chicken teriyaki plate (7.9/10)nicely assorted plate, with spectacular flavor to the chicken, a good traditional cali roll, and veggies. brown rice was too bland for my tastespam musubi (9.3/10)amazing musubi, well made and generous with portion

Nice little restaurant. My friends had an urge for some masubi. Found this place near city hall. Service was relatively quick. It was after the lunch rush and was able to sit easily. I had the tuna bowl and the spicy spam masubi. Both were tasty and cost less than $25. It definitely was just as good as most places I have gone to. I would come again but I would not make a special trip here.

4.5 rounded up. I like the spam musubi offerings and the handrolls. The pork tonkatsu is a bit greasy but I enjoy the mac salad. For some reason, the sushi doesn't sing as much to me. I tried one of the soups and it was crazy affordable, but now the price has jumped up a few dollars.

Stopped by here for lunch on a rainy day after spending time at city hall. It's tiny with three or four tables but the food was great and filling. I got the ahi tuna bowl and the breakfast musibi and they did not disappoint. The spam in the musibi was sandwiched between the soft rice and had the right amount of savory sauce with each bite. The tuna bowl was huge! The portions to rice ratio was a good amount where I had more toppings than rice. If you want to dine in a small place with a few friends, this place will be your spot.

Great location during lunch or quick stop. At ease ordering from the kiosk and a small and quaint space for dining in. Very cute spot. Now the food WOW! So delicious and variety and presentation AMAZING!! The spicy crunchy spam musubi had me lightly moaning mmmmmmm with the first bite and soooo good that I forgot to take pics!! lol and and $7 for two! I fancy myself a spam musubi connoisseur and this is hands down one of the best if not better! They have other food too so come and check it out. It says TL when seeking location however in the business area of Van Ness and not in the heart of the TL so just in case that was an issue. WORTH THE TRIP and not sure if they will still be crunchy if take out so treat YOSELF and eat it fresh!!

Ordered delivery via Uber Eats and enjoyed our meal:- Chicken teriyaki bowl (3.5/5): Not overly saucy which I like, chicken pieces were tasty not too dry, rice was decent. Wish it came with more veges - only 1 piece of small broccoli and two small slices of carrots. Overall smaller portion. See pic attached. - Chirashi bowl (3.5/5): Advertised as 10 pieces but only came with 8 pieces of fish (2x salmon, 2x tuna, 2x hamachi and 2x another white fish). Lettuce and everything else was ok, nothing mind blowing but wasn't terrible. Fish was ok quality, some of the white fish didn't taste great. - Unagi avo hand roll (5/5): Amazing, good portion of eel, would definitely get again. Next time I'd be inclined to just order a bunch of different hand rolls at $4-5 each.

Small shop close to Tenderloin. Food was okay.Hard for me to enjoy. Long wait and I was overcharged for their food. $2.5 isn't the end of the world but I wouldn't have ordered that dish if I knew. Tried to use ordering kiosk but wouldn't work.I think I will give them another chance, we all have off days.

Been to this place only twice, but loved it! The fish is fresh and tasty, rice/topping ratio is great and you can adjust however you like. I think I got the tuna poke bowl.They make it fresh for you while you wait. It is poke, so it's a bit pricy, but worth it! Only other downside is it's a pretty tiny at store, but I haven't had any issues with seating. Highly recommend, it's become one of my favorite spots! :)

Absolutely the most quality regular Hawaiian spot I've been to in SF. Very unassuming and in a spot you wouldn't guess but I was really loving the food. We got the oG spam musubi to start and it was very well made with the right proportions. The crumbly musubi was the scene stealer with Sriracha , fried spam and rice. My ahi poke bowl was completely filling and delicious. Really loved our food and even though I'm in the sunset would trek out. Prices were so reasonable. Appreciate places like this that are small but mighty.
