Aloha Alley has me in a chokehold I recently visited Aloha Alley in Dumbo and WOW -- everything we had was SO fresh and delicious! The portions were also huge, the food came out really quickly, and the customer service was great. But let me tell you... THE KAMIKAZE NACHOS. They were hands down the star of the meal and I'm still thinking about them! They're made with salmon poke, salmon, mango, sweet onions, cucumbers, jalapeños, scallions, carrots, guacamole and ponzu shoyu, topped with spicy mayo, unagi sauce and furikake over crispy wonton nacho chips. The combination of flavors was AMAZING. I would honestly go back specifically for these. We also had the Hawaii Ahi Poke, which was really good and had the perfect sweet-and-salty flavor, served with rice. For our mains, we tried the Butter Garlic Shrimp, BBQ Teriyaki Salmon, and Loco Moco. The Loco Moco was so good and came with two beef patties, mushroom gravy and two eggs. All of the mains came with rice topped with furikake and macaroni salad. We also tried the Hibiscus Refresher, POG, and a Matcha Latte. Everything was really refreshing, and the POG was definitely a favorite! There were three of us and we honestly could have ordered less because the portions were THAT generous. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. 10/10 for me! Aloha Alley is definitely going back on my list, and I already know the Kamikaze Nachos are going to be the first thing I order. read more

Back again to Aloha Alley and this time I tried the butter shrimp. The shrimp were incredibly fresh, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The buttery garlic sauce was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, making it easy to finish every bite. I've been here more than once now, and the food has been consistently good. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and the staff is always friendly. If you're a fan of Hawaiian comfort food, the butter shrimp is definitely worth ordering. I'll definitely be back again! read more

I am a huge Hawaiian food fan. LIke, if I could eat poke everyday, I would. I've been to the islands at least 5 times and make poke at home all the time. So, that's all to say that most poke spots in the city are essentially fake in my eyes. I'll go to Poke Bowl when the craving really hits, but unless they're marinating the fish, it's not real to me. So when I heard about Aloha Alley, I knew I needed to try. We came in around 1:30pm on a Friday afternoon and i ordered both pokes - the tuna and the salmon. I also ordered a locomoco for us to share. The poke comes with rice, so we did end up with a fair amount of rice. The tuna poke was very good. Flavors were really great. Not quite Hawaii, but close enough - and closer than anything I've had in New York. The salmon poke tasted a bit more like ceviche than typical Hawaiian flavors, so while good, it wasn't my favorite. The locomoco was a really good portion size and we really enjoyed it. read more

I had been meaning to try Aloha Alley for months now for their poke nachos after learning about them on TikTok. The first time I tried they were sold out unfortunately, but the second time I went I was able to try them! I got the tsunami nachos, which featured tuna, and they were pretty tasty!! Food was prepared fresh and served to me relatively quickly. Seating was very scarce though so I probably waited more than 20 minutes for a table and there was no way to line up so I felt very much in the way. The wonton wrappers made for amazing crispy chips and sauce and toppings were plentiful. Honestly the portion size was huge so it's a good value for the money. The ingredients were super fresh but the sauce combination was not my favorite. That's simply because I prefer more savory flavors than sweet, but if sweet is your jam you'll love these! read more

Aloha Alley - Tsunami Nachos - Hawaiian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Get the nachos! I had the Kamikaze nachos and they were amazing. The wonton chips were crispy and held up with the massive toppings of salmon, mango, cucumbers, etc. Came with a side of guacamole. The poke/fish tastes fresh and everything was yummy. Not quite like Hawaii but close enough. Poke comes with furikake on the rice, which makes it 10x better. Trying the tsunami nachos next along with the actual plates. Yes, everything is pricey, but worth it. read more

Food here was really good. The nacho was crunchy with the refreshing salmon and sauce. It also came with a small side of guacamole. The salmon poke nachos was my favorite The 8 Oz salmon poke was a bit disappointing, the salmon was not fresh compared to the one I had in the nachos. But overall, I really enjoyed the food here. The food came out quick and there are ample amount of seatings. read more

Yes! Finally a good Poké place. Portion size is good, food is flavorful, and the food looks amazing. The POG juice is also delicious, wish they had a location in the city. The place is small and cozy, great place to hang out with friends before or after chilling near the bridge. Service is good and quick as well! read more

Hmm came here after hearing all the raving reviews to see if this really is the best poke in NYC, which has a bit of a poke drought. There's lots of seating inside, the food comes out fast and there's a bathroom, but was a bit disappointed. - Salmon poke nachos (4/5): let's start with the good. these were pretty good - the nachos are wonton chips so they are thinner and lighter in texture and the salmon actually tasted pretty good. we didn't have too much salmon in the dish though, a lot more nachos than fish - Ahi Tuna (2/5): unfortunately, these were a miss. the tuna did not taste very fresh... honestly a bit frozen?? and it was wayy too salty, there was too much soy sauce it was nearly impossible to eat on its own, even with rice it was still rather salty Glad to have tried but unfortunately still on the hunt for very good quality poke in nyc read more

This was on my boyfriend's to try list, so one day while we were in Brooklyn we made sure to check it out. The interior of this Hawaiian spot is pretty casual with only some seating (it's not great for big groups). Although the line wasn't bad when we arrived, by the time we left it was out the door. Their menu consists of poke, Hawaiian plates, poke nachos, musubi, and some other Hawaiian bites. We decided to try their kamikaze nachos when we were there and it was so good. Poke was super fresh and the nachos were very flavorful. Will definitely have to come back to try some of their other dishes! read more

I actually really enjoyed the butter garlic shrimp! It was super flavorful and had that nice garlic char. Unsure if they go by pounds or pieces, but mine came with 8 which ended up being enough for me. However, the mac salad was p disappointing. I also always sub a rice for more mac at every Hawaiian food restaurant I go to (which thankfully this place doesn't charge you extra for doing so). It definitely had potential since the sauce itself was fine, but the pasta was very over cooked which made it smushy. My boyfriend got the fire dance salmon and they give you so much salmon, he had a difficult time finishing it all so the portions were p good! The staff was nice - you order at the kiosk, they call your name, and there are a few tables across the side. We were lucky to get a table, but I'm sure it's difficult when it's busy. The AC felt immaculate in this 90+ degree heat haha so I would say vibes were good, would come back to try some other menu items! read more

Ordered two plates and a poke to go. Got the garlic butter shrimp, loco moco, and ahi tuna poke. Portions are very very fair and filled us up! The lock moco was a classic - two patties drenched in gravy, two scoops of rice, two fried eggs and macaroni salad. What more can someone ask for? The garlic water shrimp was presented in a similar fashion with substantial rice and macaroni salad. The Ahi tuna poke comes with furikake rice - very salty on its own, but works well with the carbs. Overall, everything was a bit on the salty side but was still delicious and satisfied with the hearty meal. 4.2 out of five stars. read more

Tbh I haven't heard of this place until my friend recommended it, and it's safe to say it's a POPULAR spot. There was a line out the door, and we definitely had to wait a bit for a seat. I heard that maybe the best thing to do is to get takeout and then eat by a park if you're not in a hurry to wait for a table. - Hawaii Ahi Poke, (5/5): my friend ordered this - perfectly seasoned and fresh salmon. The flavor is so addicting and the 8 oz was a good size. My friend didn't finish it all and the rice went p well with it - Longanisa Sausage, (5/5): I wanted something warm and comforting and this dish def hit the spot. It came with fried eggs, sausage and a Mac salad, and rice. It was soooo much food but it was so good I ate it all. The sausages were smoky, slightly sweet and garlicky. I would 100% come back to try their poke or other hot foods. read more

Been back a couple more times and the Hawaiian style poke is truly 10/10 since you can't get this anywhere else in nyc. The fire dance def has a kick so if you can't handle a medium spice at the minimum it'll be spicy. Unfortunately one of the times we ordered and paid for a 16oz salmon poke but got an 8oz instead, and didn't realize until we got home. That was a bummer but can't even knock off a star bc that's how much I support these guys. read more

Ordered dinner for pick up while in the area, turn around time was quick. Lots of seating in the shop, which looked bright and well maintained. I made my own poke bowl but I think you don't need all the extra toppings to enjoy the poke here. The fish was great, I had a mix of the salmon and tuna. I am a mac salad lover so I got a side of theirs, but it had an interesting pineapple flavor to it that threw me off. Not your run of the mill macaroni salad so be warned. I'm excited to come back and try more of the traditional Hawaiian dishes. read more

Very salty and not authentic Hawaiian food. The loco moco tasted nothing like the one I had in Hawaii. Poke nacho was extremely salty. read more

Aloha Alley - Hawaiian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I went on a Sunday around lunch time, but got lucky with a short line. My partner and I were super excited to try their poke. I ordered the salmon and ahi tuna poke, the big Kahuna plate, and the calamansi lemonade. The salmon was lighter in taste and leaned a bit fruity because of the mango chunks. The ahi tuna was salty and I tasted more of the seaweed salad than the actual sauce, which I personally don't like. I thought the poke bowl would come with sides but I was told build your own poke bowl was only available during the week. So the price point seemed pretty steep for just the poke. I was a little disappointed in the poke as it does not taste like what it was in Hawaii. I was extremely disappointed with the big Kahuna plate. The one sausage was cut in half to make it seem like you got two. There was 4 pieces of kalbi and like a scoop of chicken. The chicken was very bland and a little chewy. It also came with two scoops or rice and a scoop of Mac salad, so it feels they tried to fill up the plate with carbs. The Mac salad was also underwhelming, like no taste at all. The calamansi lemonade was pretty good, but wish it was a little bit more sour. The cup was pretty small for $5 though. Overall, the poke is nothing compared to Hawaii. But not to say the poke was bad. I would recommend people try the poke but can't say the same about the other plate. read more

This shop is conveniently located close to the Brooklyn flea market. We got the fire dance salmon and garlic butter shrimp. The shrimp was great and perfectly seasoned. We were a bit disappointed with the Mac salad, as it seemed too over cooked and not enough firmness to the texture. The garlic shrimp and salmon was great read more

Such amazing bowls here! Love all the Filipino elements, the proximity to the waterfront and the various options. As summer approaches, make sure to stay tuned for their drinks. They are always refreshing. In the past, there was a calamansi drink which was SO GOOD! Service is always top notch. Great that they have chicken lumpia as well. read more

Must get tuna poke again!! We went near closing time and the nachos were sold out. So sad. I was excited for it but i got tuna poke and omg the sauce is crack. I would eat a tub of that alone on rice!!! Definitely getting it again in future. Loco moco is good but not my fave. Pog juice is pog. read more

Only ever ordered delivery so that may have affected the quality of food a bit but still quite tasty. I really liked the musubi with longanisa sausage, I just wish they gave more sausage. The nachos were great, had TONS of fish and toppings, the chips were just kinda soggy by the time it got to me. Surf and turf combo was alright but it wasn't my favorite. I recommend the Hawaiian salmon poke and the fire dance ahi poke (the latter is quite spicy though, they did NOT hold back on the jalapeños). read more

used to love getting poke in hawaii and i found aloha alley in new york had poke nachos that you need to try!! they had salmon and ahi tuna nacho options but i love ahi so got their tsunami nachos and it is soo fresh! they also have plate options like butter garlic shrimp, loco moco, galbi, and teriyaki chicken which come with furikake rice and mac salad yumm (i tried their butter garlic shrimp! need to come back to try their spicy version too) saw many people order it takeout and eat by the water too! read more

Ordered lunch to go to enjoy at a local brewery and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the meal! My husband and I shared a spam musubi (yummy, sweet sauce on it) along with the fire dance salmon which was good quality and flavor, and my husband really enjoyed the seasoning on the rice, too! We also opted for the Mac salad which was soooo good. Noodles cooked perfectly and delicious sauce too. It was packed inside when I went to pick it up, so that further shows me how quality aloha alley is! Def will be back. read more

My friends and I went to Aloha Alley to grab dinner around 7:30pm on a Friday. One of my friends and I are from Hawaii, and I asked the cashier if anyone on the staff was from Hawaii, and he said the chef was. The restaurant probably operates more on takeout, but there are a few tables where you can take your takeout and sit down, which is what we did. There were three other parties at the time, and it is a no frills ambiance. We ordered the tsunami nachos ($14.99), loco moco ($16.95), butter garlic shrimp ($16.95), big kahuna plate (kalbi, teri chicken, longanisa) ($24), and POG ($5/each - they had BOGO). Overall, the food was fine, and if you're from Hawaii and desperate, you can satisfy your craving. The tsunami nachos (ahi) were honestly the best thing, albeit the least authentic. The flavors were spot on, and I thought the wonton nachos complemented the fish more than regular chips would. For the loco moco, the hamburger was dry and overcooked. The garlic shrimp had a mild version of the flavors you would experience from a shrimp truck back home. Everything in the big kahuna plate lacked seasoning, and the kalbi was tough and chewy. The POG tasted very natural, but I was expecting a Hawaiian Sun or similar canned drink for nostalgia reasons. Again, the food is fine, and the prices are appropriate for the area. I just went in expecting to have a taste of home, and the flavors didn't live up to my experiences. read more

Aloha Alley - ahi poke (large 16oz) - Hawaiian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've never had Hawaiian food but I wanted to try it for a minute. I pulled up to aloha valley. It's in dumbo a pretty good area. They specialize in poke and Hawaiian food so I ordered the big kahuna. Where you get a good mix of everything. Rice, 3 Meats, and macaroni salad. Plus I got a side salad. Priced at $24 but they pack it out with protein. I like how they add sesame on the rice it adds a nice crunch. There's chicken, steak and I think pork. I really wanted to try this Hawaiian mac salad. It's different from how Caribbeans make it but it compliments the meal. After eating everything, it fills me up but doesn't leave me sluggish. It's a pretty good meal. Customer service was straight forward. Shout out to the guy who helped me. Food didn't take too long. I would definitely come back to explore the Hawaiian flavors. read more

We stopped by after walking around DUMBO for a bit and I always love Hawaiian food so I'd figure we give this place a try. It was alright but nothing to write home about. The fish and flavors of the kamikaze nachos was good but the wonton chips were hit or miss. Some were too oily and not crisp enough. Some were too hard that it hurt my teeth to bite into. The spicy garlic shrimp flavor-wise was also good but we're never fans of places that keep the tails on the shrimp. It just makes it harder to eat. The restaurant itself is nice though and maybe the poke bowls and other dishes are better. read more

Aloha Alley - Kamikaze Nachos Spicy Garlic Shrimp - Hawaiian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Located in Dumbo, just a short walk from the waterfront, Aloha Alley is a laid-back spot offering traditional Hawaiian dishes like musubi, poke, loco moco at reasonable prices. The portion sizes were generously large. The teri chicken was excellent! It was tender with a delightful balance of sweetness and tang. The macaroni salad was the perfect side for this dish. It also comes with furikake rice. I have never had it before, but it was a savory and unique flavor profile. Service was also fast and kind. It was refreshing to find a reasonably priced restaurant in such a tourist-heavy area of Dumbo. read more

Aloha Alley - Teri Chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came by with a friend for a post-workout meal in DUMBO. It's a nice, little Hawaiian spot for a casual dine-in or grab to-go and enjoy at Pebble Beach. You don't find Hawaiian food often in NY, so this is a nice treat with a variety of plates, musubis, poke, and nachos. Between the two of us, we shared the Longanisa Musubi Combo ($12), Kamikaze Nachos ($14.99), and BBQ Surf & Turf ($16.95). The combo also came with a POG drink, which was good but not sure I'd pay $5 for it. The musubi was OK, nothing all too special really. The surf and turf was nice to try both the chicken and shrimp, but I wish we could've picked a different flavor for the shrimp. The favorite was the nachos, which is the perfect order to share. Next time I'd have to try the poke and their garlic shrimp to really compare to Hawaii. Otherwise, glad to have this spot in Brooklyn. read more

This is a good spot for the Dumbo residents since it's a great choice for some yummy food in the neighborhood! This is more of a takeout spot with some seating to relax and chill with family or friends so I think this is more affordable spot if you're in the area as a tourist or a resident of Dumbo. You order at the register and you get your meal in the back. One of my friends went to Hawaii and said that this wasn't as authentic as she would hope but I didn't know as I never been. I got the big kahuna which was a whopping $24 which was pricey for what it was in a take out kind of spot with to go utensils and containers. My friends got the loco moco and didn't have too much to say about that one. I like having a side of mac with my bbq but I felt like for the price I rather just go to FOB as it tastes very similar to Filipino bbq and we would get more sides. I got the spam musubi to go and I think it was just okay. It's quite overrated on Instagram but I still think this is a great option for people to have if they're in the area as Dumbo is filled with extremely pricey food and we definitely needed a spot like this. I don't know if I would go out of my way to eat here again but it was good to try. Maybe if I was back in the area I would try their poke next time. read more

What a fun find! My husband and I ordered from here for the second time today and we just love how fresh and delicious the food is. The poke nachos are divine! Crispy wontons as nachos with fresh ahi, chopped jalapeños + pineapple and topped with sauces that only elevate the dish. It's such a good blend of crispy fatty goodness. I got the fire dancer salmon poke tonight and that was really as fresh and flavorful. The cooked bowls aren't bad either but the Mac salad doesn't compare to other Hawaiian spots-it lacks that certain something. Regardless, it's such a fun spot to order from. read more

Obsessed with this new Hawaiian spot from the Em Vietnamese team.

Pork longanisa was also excellent. Would try the poke next time. Shave ice is also apparently coming soon - fingers crossed! read more

lovely fast casual spot for Hawaiian foods right by the DUMBO waterfront. The menu is slim, but it has some of the hardest hitting Hawaiian items. I tried their loco moco plate, which is made with beef patties and two fried eggs, as well as rice and macaroni salad. the flavor of the gravy was really savory with a bit of sweetness. the service was friendly, though getting the food to go required a bit of a wait. the interior is simple and there is some limited seating inside.

Was super excited because saw this place on TikTok and the price + fish quality were both great but I wouldn't travel all the way to dumbo for it. You order beforehand online and the wait said 30-40 mins but it was ready in 10. We tried all 3 of the Hawaiian style fishes and I honestly liked all 3 of them and they paired well with the rice (wish this was softer) but the fire dance tuna was our favorite. We also got the tuna nachos which were good but I wouldn't need it again. I didn't like the Mac salad but my friends did, and the matcha was actually really good! read more
