Aloha 21 Hawaiian BBQ

Great Food & Amazing Value!Honestly love this place! The BBQ chicken and teriyaki chicken are both great, but the katsu chicken is my favorite. We always get the family meal, and it's a ton of food for the price--easily lasts us a couple of days. Such a great deal for some really tasty food.The staff is always friendly, which makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend!

Finally was able to check this spot out Friday evening after hearing great reviews from coworkers. For a Friday night, I was surprised to find parking nearly upfront and little wait. The menu at Aloha 21 is almost identical to the many other Hawaiian BBQ spots in the area - even the combos share the same corresponding numbers (#1 = BBQ Chicken, #2 = Katsu Chicken, #3 Chicken Combo...) - something I noticed since I like to visit all the different spots. I opted for the #1 BBQ Chicken Combo, and picked up a bottled tea. Food came out relatively quickly while I washed up in the clean bathroom. Don't forget to pick up your sauce containers directly behind the cashier -available in Teriyaki and Katsu sauces. Personally, I liked the Teriyaki sauce here more than the Katsu. It had just the right bit of sweet-soy taste, in a somewhat thicker than usual consistency. The portions were very generous - at least five or six medium-sized cuts of dark meat, layered on top of a bed of steamed cabbage, along with two scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. The rice was okay - it could've been more moist, but I imagine it was likely since I came only a few hours before closing. Mac salad had just the right amount of creaminess to it. The BBQ chicken was perfectly marinated, each bite full of flavor. I barely had to dip much into the teriyaki sauce - really only saving the sauce to make eating the steamed cabbage more manageable. Prices are competitive for the area - note that the prices shown in my photos are as of 2/21/25 - if you order at the restaurant. I noticed a lot of third party sites will add additional fees if you order through them instead of the restaurant. Plenty of seating both inside the restaurant and directly outside in a shared outdoor dining area with the other restaurants in the plaza. Service was prompt and friendly. I knocked off a star because with a few hours until closing, they had already started mopping the floors/pre-cleaning - and the cleaning solution had a pretty strong smell - which sorta affected my taste/perception of the food. Luckily I was almost done with my meal, but left quickly after as the smell (it was like Citrusy Pine Sol) became a bit overwhelming.

Co-worker told me about this place so I thought I would give it a tryFriendly girl at the front suggested her favorite meal being the #3 do I ordered it. It was chicken katsu and regular chicken, rice and macaroni. The portions were huge and can totally be shared. It was all pretty good but a little greasy. It's a must to eat it with the katsu dipping sauce or teriyaki it makes a big difference.

Filling Hawaiian eatery with solid dishes and large portion.My coworker and I came here for lunch, ordering style is counter and seating is either small indoor or there's plenty of outdoor seating.I got the loco moco plate ($17).Food came out pretty fast within 10 min.Portion is huge with 2 scoop of rice, Mac salad, and two patties.Mac salad was a bit too mayo y for me.The beef patties were thin, crispy and not overly greasy.The loco moco sauce wasn't the best I've had it needed more beef flavor.Overall solid eatery with large portions.Would love to try their seafood my next visit.

I'm conflicted about this process refine cause some stuff is done quite well and others very wrong. For example the prices and menu are close if not more expansive than others in the area but the food execution is a mixed bag at best musubis at best are thin and very lacking in sauce and nori quality. The mix plate and katsu are of varying levels of thickness sauce lacks consistency and food is either dry or bland in my 4 visits. I will give it that their service and speed is exceptional but the food has to back it up and it does and doesn't at the same time.

There was so much food on my plate I was able to share with two of my coworkers! Food was delicious! Service was fast! And the ambience of the place was all there! 10/10!

Will definitely be ordering here again just because of how generous they are with the portions! The BBQ Plate I ordered was so heavy I almost dropped it. The BBQ Chicken was tender and flavorful, the Kalbi was well marinated and had a good meat:fat ratio, the BBQ beef was alright compared to the other two proteins. The Mac Salad was also pretty good, I'd rate it 8/10. I also got the Crab Langoons which I feel didn't have enough filling but we're still delicious :).

Foods are Amazingly delicious, Best Hawaiian barbecue! , Wow! So much food, great price!I take the leftover home and make the soup! and well seasoning! I like Cabbages,Korean Ribs, chicken... I like them all!Place so clean, workers very Nice & friendly.Who decorated!

I've been to a lot of Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, but I've never experienced a place as clean and with such a large portion of food as this one!Sometimes, when I have a company meeting, I order catering from here. It is a popular place among coworkers because they always provide a large amount of delicious food!I am always very satisfied with the friendly staff and the quality of the tender chicken and well-seasoned meat. It's a restaurant that my family routinely visits once a week. And they always gives me a lot of meat, so I love that I get to bring the leftovers home and use them to make fried rice for the next meal!

There's no place like home?Actually, there is. Aloha 21 Hawaiian BBQ restaurant serves amazingly fresh and delicious food like your homemade food. With its huge quantity of food and beautiful Hawaiian decoration, I always enjoy having homemade-like food at Aloha 21.
