    Complimentary Soup
    Dean C.

    12/28/18 Korean owned, featuring your typical mainland Hawaiian fare. They have your typical fast-foodish stuff you'd expect, nothing fancy despite a relatively large menu. The service is actually surprisingly very good here, despite the divey appearance. The server came by many times to make sure we were doing well. I'd love to give them more stars but well, honestly, the food wasn't good... 0. Soup (complimentary): Nice and flavorful broth with seaweed. 7/10 1. Spam Mususbi $4.50: Interesting that they seasoned the rice with sesame oil--cool spin, cuz I've never seen that before. Otherwise pretty standard. A bit expensive for what it is. 5/10 2. Loco Moco "hamburger steak topped with two eggs and brown gravy" $10.95: Strangely the rice was on the side so we couldn't break the egg yolk on top. Eggs were fried okay. Hamburger was AWFUL. Super hard and dry. Mac was interesting, containing lots of mustard unlike traditionally containing mayo instead. The mustard did work though. The gravy was fine. 3/10 3. Spam Fried Noodles $9.95: Waaaaaay too much raw onion. Strange they didn't cook the onions. You ever had raw onions in your fried noodles?--me neither. Otherwise mostly what I expected. I guess the noodles we dry. 3/10 Sorry, can't recommend this play due to the food. Maybe if you swung by and stuck to ordering water?--they probably wouldn't give you the free soup though, which was the only thing we liked. 2/5 #alaska #fairbanks #hawaiiancuisine #hawaiianfood #hawaiianfastfood

    Unknown soup..very good, yet simple.

    I left with a doggie bag.....anyone knows me , knows that's unusual...just couldn't finish lol. Great service the restaurant decor and music is reminiscent of a place you'd happen upon in the islands away from the city. First place of this kind I've come across in my travels that had meat jun on the menu since first having it in Hawaii. Was perfect. Short ribs was a thicker cut only a little fat, no bones and delicious. BBQ Chicken was delicious. Fried rice ...you know the free option offered in lieu of white rice....was delicious (I know right?..) Mac salad...was a disappointment for me. Had a strong mustard taste unlike what it accustomed to with Hawaiian food. This was my option 3 mixed plate I ordered. I also opted for an order of lumpia...tasted / looked like frozen egg rolls....good for egg rolls, not really lumpia. Soup was provided...simple and good, but no clue of the kind lol. Try it. The bill came with a small bite of white jello type stuff...I forget the name but a nice ending to a good meal. I'd return for sure.

    This review is a couple of months late but it's impact on my food life was monumental. Growing up in Louisiana and then moving to Tallahassee, Florida hadn't allowed me to experience Hawaiian cuisine. During my recent trip to Alaska, my party and I said we wanted to have a whack at something we never had before. My Mom always instilled in me to try things once because that's the only way you'll know if you do or do not enjoy something. Well we enjoyed Aloha BBQ. A LOT. They serve walloping portions. All three of us left with a take home box. What makes it even better is that the huge amount of food was extraordinary. I prefer to try regional and ethnic fare in the location of their origins but sometimes adulting doesn't allow that to be most convenient at particular times. When those are the circumstances, it's nice to know some restaurants will provide you with a wonderful entry into that world and in that regard, Aloha BBQ excelled.

    #1 with Sweet Tea

    First stop for lunch in Fairbanks coming from Anchorage. #1 Teriyaki BBQ chicken w Rice, Macaroni Salad, and Kimchee. They gave me a side of Seaweed Soup. Chicken was eh... not bad but didn't really stand out. Soup was good and hot. Sweet tea was good as well. Would recommend offering side of Teriyaki w Rice and Chicken.

    Meat Jhun with Kimc Chee, Mac Salad and Rice
    Hillary R.

    Popular by the locals in Alaska and recommended by nearby hotels, we decided to try it out despite being born, raised and currently reside in Honolulu, Hawaii. If you're coming from Hawaii to Vacation, don't expect the food to be the same. The Loco Moco seemed to be made of frozen hamburger meat and possibly a jar gravy with whatever was put inside of it. Mac Salad is never made with mustard and was a bit chewy. The Meat Jhun was definitely not what it tastes like back home, even the fast food Korean places never made it this way. I've never had Kim Chee prepared this way either, it reminds me of lightly pickled cabbage. The rice was either left in the cooker too long or wasn't made with enough water. Haupia was made with too much corn starch and sugar and the portion size was really small. Thankfully by the time the Haupia was served, it threw me into a laughing fit to the end of our experience. I gave it two stars because they were very friendly (as are nearly everyone else here in Alaska). If you moved from Hawaii to Fairbanks, Alaska and miss the food back home, this is probably the closest you'll get so don't let me stop you from trying it out.

    Kalua pork with cabbage
    Beatriz A.

    I love the kalua pork w/cabbage, crab wontons, chicken katsu, grilled mahi mahi and the lau lau. When I no like cook and I'm missing hawaiian food, this is my go to place!! Aunty and uncle and I think it's her son are always friendly and welcoming! Mahaloz

    It honestly looks like a hole in the wall restaurant and that's what it is. Our server was extremely helpful and very attentive. The food was delicious and came in large portions (dinner). Overall we were more than satisfied.

    Teriyaki BBQ Pork

    Came to Fairbanks for vacation and this place happened to catch my family's eye. Great service and food to fit the vacation budget. I'll remember this Hawaiian restaurant when I head home.

    Read a few reviews of places in Fairbanks and all seemed to have both good and bad reviews so was hard to decide. Ended up deciding on Aloha BBQ because I was curious was Kalua Pork which someone had commented on at another review site. Ordered a Combo consisting of Kalua Pork (BBQ pork with cabbage), teriyaki beef and steamed rice as I wanted to try out the supposedly Hawaiian style Kalia Pork. The Teriyaki beef was nothing you couldn't do yourself with some Beef, sliced onion a fry pan and a bottle of Teriyaki sauce but was ok. Unfortunately that was the highlight of the meal (unless you count the rice) The Kalua pork was pretty average. The Pork itself tasted almost as if it had been reheated by boiling it (would ppl even do that??) And the cabbage had very little flavour at all. It came with a small side of Mac and cheese which I am not a fan of anyway so I didn't try this. Overall I was disappointed with the meal as I was hoping that the kalua pork - something I was looking forward to trying - was going to be pretty good.

    Coat check
    Darcie P.

    Hubby was craving Hawaiian food so we had to stop in. Ordered: Spam fried noodles $8.95 Kalua pig plate $9.95 Adobo plate $10.95 The noodles was good. With mixed veggies. Huge plate. Ordeded it for our 19 month old since she loves noodles. The other plates came with 2 scoops rice, mac salad and kimchi. Both plates came with a cup of miso soup and 3 cubes of haupia squares. Miso soup served with seaweed and boiled onions. Soooo good. Haupia is water with coconut milk powder. Sooo good. Mac salad had a tad bit too much relish in it. Kimchi was good. Not spicy at all. Adobo was good. Couldve been better if it was boiled a little bit longer so that the meat could be softer. The place wasnt packed. Tons of parking out front. They have a self coat check. The owner is very nice. Shes sweet. Total cost: $29.00

    Rather small seating area but not crowded at all. Friendly service and meals come with complimentary soup.

    See all
