Got sunny side up eggs with runny yolks that just melt together with the gravy, rice, and pork. The sweet, buttery roll soaked in the gravy is also such a good addition. 100% getting this again! -Chicken Long Rice: a little different than the ones we tried in Hawaii (different noodle and more veggies in this one) but still so comforting and delish. Heartwarming and gingery goodness. -BBQ chicken plate: also very solid, not super sweet like teriyaki and comes in a decent sized portion. Mac salad is legit and so good - perfect consistency and seasonings. -French toast: one of the best! A superb doughy, chewy, cinnamony, thick cut slice that I drowned in butter and syrup. Ordered take out and it was ready within 15 min or so. Parking lot looked tiny but we just parked on the residential street and it was a quick walk. Wish I lived closer (I'd be here all the time) but totally worth the trip - will be coming back again very soon!

We got the loco moco, Portuguese sausage, and the macadamia nut pancakes. Everything together was less than $40 which feels unreal in 2026! It was more than enough food for 2 people and we had to take some home. 4 stars only because the interior and bathroom in particular are cramped and dated. It's probably how they keep their prices so low but some things could use a refresh!

If comfort food had a Hall of Fame, Aloha Food Factory would have its own wing…read more This place has become my go-to spot, and at this point I'm convinced the loco moco with an over easy egg was engineered in a laboratory to create happiness. The gravy is so good it could make you reconsider long-held political beliefs and peacefully change governments. I'm not saying treaties have been signed over this gravy, but I'm not ruling it out either. The over easy egg breaking into the rice and burger patty is basically poetry. Every bite feels like a warm hug from somebody's Hawaiian grandma. And the Spam musubi? Those things scream my name every time I walk through the door. I tell myself I'm just coming for the loco moco and somehow a musubi magically appears in front of me. Science can't explain it. Consistently delicious food, huge portions, and the kind of place that turns into a regular stop before you even realize it. 5 billion stars. If Yelp won't let me give more than five, that's a limitation of the platform, not the restaurant.

The outside is crispy and the inside is pretty tender. The rib was fall off the bone meat. Super flavorful! I am obsessed with the fried skin on chicken wings so the gochujang fried chicken side was PERFECT for me! The shrimp is huge, crispy and also packed with flavor. There is seating outside. There is a common indoor seating area if you keep walking right, past the two other stores.

They give a decent amount of food but everything is so expensive, especially for a place lunch. The sauce they give you with the chicken dishes was not teriyaki. Not sure what it has in it but it was sour and off putting. I asked for the ingredients of the Mac salad. They couldn't tell me what was in it but said it had heavy cream? Seems to be a very unusual ingredient to have in Mac salad? The cabbage salad didn't come with dressing so it was just plain. The garlic shrimp was deep fried and not grilled or steamed which was different. We were interested in getting the spam musubi but they couldn't tell us why the rice looked orange so we didn't get it. Potential but the prices are way too high for plate lunches and the quality of food, strange coloring, unusual tastes for the sauces and a staff that can't answer questions mean we will never return.

Definitely a great restaurant to patronize.

Phenomenal casual Hawaiian spot!

Always grab a half dozen spam musubi to snack on. Pay attention to the ordering lines, but there is always friendly staff around to help guide you or offer suggestions. Prices are positively exceptional for the quality and the amount of food they give you. The containers are packed to the max. Saturday afternoons are best spent sitting on the patio with the live band, but parking can fill up fast. To go orders move swiftly and perfect to pickup on the way to the beach. Note there is a small surcharge for credit orders, so cash is best. Also, grab a coupon for their sister restaurant, Aloha Platez for the best malasadas and shave ice.

It was really sweet!! I ordered simple - beef teriyaki - it was the best I have ever had!!! The meat was so delicious and tender!!! Mom had the pork and loved it as well! Portions are generous so her meal fed her a few times (leftovers)! Great for a 91 year old!!! She is looking forward to trying the oxtail soup next time. I'm just looking forward to returning PERIOD!! Yum!!

And if you love art, as in cool papers, pens, and such, Ululani's in located inside a really cool art supply store in Los Feliz.

Over the years I've gotten take-out here but have also done dine-in. It seems they mostly do catering now, because they have very short business hours for the public. They are only open Thursdays and Fridays 10-3. Per the nice male employee who gave me my order, they're open on Sat and Sun if they don't have a lot of catering jobs, otherwise they're closed. Their website says their dining room is closed, but the employee says it's open Thurs and Fri. Nevertheless, I followed the website's info and ordered pick up. Here's what I ordered: 1) Komai's Big Breakfast. Komai was Aloha's original chef. Two eggs with all the meats: Portuguese sausage, Spam, Vienna sausage, corned beef hash plus 2 scoops of rice and a Hawaiian roll. No surprises here, very nice. 2) Kal B Chicken plate lunch. Chicken marinated in the same sauce as the more familiar kalbi beef short ribs, with rice and mac salad. The chicken did not seem to take up the marinade as well as beef, so it was tasty but on the dry side. I'd probably give their chicken teriyaki a go next time. The mac salad was fine, did have potatoes. 3) Spam musubi. Again no surprises, classic 4) ordered a side of char siu, but it was not available. A nice go-to if you're hankering for classic Hawaiian on a Thurs or Fri.

The katsu was perfectly thin and crispy, the rice was fluffy and not dry, and the macaroni salad was honestly some of the best I've ever had..completely crave-worthy. I recently had a baby, so I ordered through Grubhub for an easy meal, but I've actually been a fan of theirs since my baby shower. I special ordered malassadas in Oreo (a special flavor), guava, and mango, and they were a huge hit. They took me right back to Hawaii, and so many guests asked where I got them because they were that good. Whether you're looking for a comforting plate lunch or delicious malassadas, give this place a try, you won't regret it!

The food wasn't bad at all, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. Kalua pig or laulau was not on the menu. Lomi salmon, poké, or huli huli chicken would have been more impressive. We did like their malasadas and they were presented nicely.
