One of the best meals we had in Waikīkī! It was so good that we went back twice. The whole family loved the tasty chicken. It was crispy with a light sauce that had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. We also loved the oxtail. The tangy dipping sauce it came with was delicious, and the broth was packed with flavor. Great portions, especially the tasty chicken. Everyone and their mama was ordering and taking home the lemon crunch cake, so of course we had to try it. It was delicious! My sons also ordered the furikake ahi and the burger, but they preferred the oxtail and the chicken. Service was A++.

Chocolate Cake

I am reviewing based on their food ordered to-go. I was so pleasantly surprised by the tasty chicken. I love sweet & savory sauces for fried chicken, so the tasty chicken was right up my alley (no pun intended). The cakes were also delicious. The lemon crunch cake was certainly a treat.

Braised pork was tender with lots of gravy along with brown rice and macaroni salad in a separate container. The loco moco had an excellent char on the burger and nice rice and gravy mix with the egg. Food is solid and service is good. Suggestion that the take out section (left side) be clearly marked as it may seem like you can just order, pay and sit down wherever you want. Only the tables near the bowling area have signs that say reserved for sit down guests. The sit down side could have a host at the front rather than depending on whichever server is available. If all servers are busy, it makes it appear that no one is there to seat you at all.

Tasty chicken appetizer

I come here every time we vacation in Oahu. It's the true local Hawaiian food experience. The tasty chicken, kalbi and oxtail soup is a must order. No exceptions. The lemon crunch cake if you have room. Unfortunately, the oxtail was very fatty this time.

I always love aiea bowl the bowling, the food,and the deserts I always get the pumpkin crunch before I leave it's so good, the Oxtail soup so Ono And I also like the shoyu porkit's a great place to take the family to eat the staff is awesome sometimes it's busy but it's worth it I used to buy takeout from there before I go home after work at the prison cause it's right down the road

Lemon crunch cake

OXTAIL SOUP! Located in the bowling alley, so it will be noisy. But it's great for large groups since they have the space but it is busy. To be forewarned! You obviously know what I order when I come here. But it's not the only thing that's good here. Their chicken and mix plates are good too. But oxtail soup is my choice, it's a good portion and comforting! They also serve it with a sweet savory sesame sauce. So you can dip your oxtail into it for some added flavor. I also like their lemon crunch cake. The cake is light and fluffy and the toffee pieces give it a good crunch.

Strawberry Crunch Cake...oh so ono!
Lala H.

The Alley Restaurant is always our go-to when we find ourselves on Oahu. Everything we have ever had has been wonderful! So much flavor and tastiness inside this hidden gem. If you find yourself hungry while bowling, or if you just want some serious ono grindz, The Alley has got you covered!

Ox Tail Soup
Vincent M.

Service: Took a while for us to get served, but they seemed busy. Ambiance: Located inside of a bowling alley, it's noisy but a cool and casual vibe Food: We came here, solely for the oxtail soup. It offered a distinct and rich flavoring. We got it with Saimin (noodles) for an additional $4.

Strawberry and lemon crunch cakes
Ashley Z.

Only reviewing this based on dessert although I have had their tasty chicken which I would give a 4 star. Back to the crunch cake...the lemon has been their staple and I always come here just to get it. This is the first time I noticed the strawberry one and the lemon one is still better to me. If you want to eat at the restaurant, it is small and the wait is usually long because it's a popular local spot.

2 item combo

After our flight from LAX to HNL, This was our first stop. It's my first time here and it's been hyped up pretty good by everyone in my party. Kinda reminds me of Gardena Bowl (IYKYK). Got there middle of the day and the staff set up a table for our large party pretty quick. After the long flight, all I wanted was comfort food, so I knew what I was getting, the Loco Moco. The waiter was great and was able to answer our questions and make some good recommendations. The food came out pretty quick and everything was spot on. My Loco Moco - was perfect. The patty was nice and juicy. The eggs were nice and runny. The gravy was perfectly seasoned. Our waiter came back often to check up on us and made sure we were still good. It's located in a stip mall - I can see parking can become an issue depending on the time of day. The food was really good, the service was great. Definitely coming back and trying some of the other items.

Chicken Bowl - sub fried noodles (little extra) worth it!!
Drizza N.

Located at the Aiea shopping center- they are level. There's parking on each of the levels.... It's busy. The restaurant has a check-in on the left. Bowling is straight ahead to check in. Usually at least a half an hour wait for seating. Haven't tried anything here that we haven't liked. Tasty Chicken is really good- fried noodles- calamari- waffle fries with gravy- homemade burger- everything is pretty good I really miss the Mama Mia dessert that they had. Stopped after Covid. I wish somebody knew how to make it here.

Kelly C.

Hard to believe but one of the best meals we had in this bowling alley. The food was really good with huge portions. The oxtail soup and tasty chicken were delicious! HAPPY OXTAILING!!

Mixed plate with tasty chicken and boneless kalbi
Hailley O.

We came here on a weeknight for dinner and it hit the spot! I like how they offer a variety of items-from pizza, sandwiches, plate lunches and soups. I ordered the mixed plate with the tasty chicken and boneless kalbi, and it was delicious! Both the chicken and kalbi were flavorful and moist. I also tried the fried calamari and garlic fries appetizers, and those were pretty good as well. They have yummy desserts too! We shared the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and enjoyed it. The service was decent, but overall it's a great casual spot for local food. There's something for everyone!

Food- 4 stars Service- 4 stars…read moreAmbiance- 5 stars This place is great for kids if you want to kill time, reward your children for being patient while you shop or when you just want to be a kid again. Lucky Strike is located on the second floor of Ala Moana near Macy's. There are dozens of games to choose from and great for children ages 3 and up mostly. My boyfriend and I visited here with his daughter and she had a blast. After almost an hour of games, we got a bite to eat in the dining area. The dining area has several televisions and bar seating for those who would like to catch nfl, mlb games or even UFC fights. I ordered a Caesar's salad and water. We couldn't catch the happy hour specials but I wasn't upset about it because I knew I needed to eat some veggies lol. The one thing that was disappointing was that they did not have any high chairs or booster seats available for children which is ironic because this place is supposed to be child friendly.

The manager refused to switch the screen even though everyone in the place wanted to watch the othe game. Our group was 20 people and we demanded the change but they kept saying half time is when the switch. They are so not customer focused. I would never go back to this joint with their present manager. We walked out half way through the game to watch the game in another place. Do not go to lucky strike.

I've been to Schofield Bowling Alley multiple times and my experiences have not really improved…read more A year ago the food was pretty decent but it has lately been worse. I'm not sure what changed but the pizza is not good and turned my stomach, the cookies are incredibly hard, and the hotdogs had bits of cartilage. Now on top of all this - they recently implemented a rule of not allowing any food or drink onto the table in the middle of the bowling seating where in any other bowling establishment is a very common practice. This is a NEW rule and one employee was extremely rude about it. It's understandable but inconvenient now. The only redeeming factor is the price to bowl. If you're looking for a cheap game and have nothing else to do it can be a good spot. Most of the employees are pretty friendly too.

My brother them got into bowling almost a year ago and go almost daily. I go once in a while, my…read morebrother gave me one of his bowling balls that he does not really use. Anyways... Schofield bowling is clean and well maintained. I live Ewa and I'm willing to make the drive there because of that. The food... don't expect amazing food, it's a bowling alley. Food is what you'd expect for a bowling alley... but it's edible and for the prices there it is decent. Prices in general there is a lot less than any other bowling alley. Price per game, shoe rentals and everything is cheaper. Getting in is a little of an hassle compared to if you just go to barbers point bowling center but that's because it is on base. You have to stop and show identification and what not but nothing major. If you aren't military personnel.. don't worry. They let civilians on as well, just tell them you're there for the bowling alley and they'll give you a day pass. Overall I would go back and even more likely because that's my brother's preferred spot. I won't be going daily like my brother but I most definitely will be back.
