Aloha Grill - Chicken and beef patty combo. We got veggies instead of the Mac salad, it was good but being healthy isn't worth missing out! - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Updated review. Lowered rating. I've always got the Kahlua pork and it's been pretty good and the sandwich is tasty but yesterday got take out and the orange chicken was mostly all orange crunchy breading, no chicken, and the rice was hard. very disappointed. read more

Looking for some BBQ short ribs we stopped by this place and meh food was ok not that great, I had better ribs from else where. The owner was semi odd but ok. The chicken Katsu was bland and not even Katsu, L&L BBQ has better katsu. Anyways I'm not trying to diss my hometown Hawaii food but it's not even Hawaii flavors. The mac salad wasn't even close to what we have at home. Other than that cleanliness of the place everything was meh read more

I ordered some of their food off of doordash and the moment I opened the box there was hair in the food. I called to let them know and right from the first encounter the lady was rude. I explained the situation and all she said was "I don't know what you want me to do. We wear hair nets so I don't how the hair got in there". After going back and forth she finally said I could drive down there and pick up a new one. When I got there you could clearly see the people in the kitchen were in fact not wearing hair nets like she tried to tell me over the phone. The girl at the register was just lost. And the customer service overall was terrible. I brought the food with me so she could see for her self if wasn't like a hair fell on top. It was intertwined with the chicken. She pulled it out with her bare hands and just laughed it off. I got a new one but I'm more so upset how careless and rude she was about the situation. read more

Aloha Grill - You can see the hair on the top right corner in between the chicken. I had just the box fresh too so it didn't just fall on top. - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Around Seattle, Hawaiian food can either be horribly bad or insanely good. This establishment hits the spot, it's both delicious and reasonably priced. My husband and I enjoyed their Mac salad, Katsu, and Kahlua pork. I also enjoyed that they had sweets and some lilokai drinks. The restaurant is very clean and the workers are super friendly. If I'm back in the area, being that it is very close to Ikea. I am going to try different dishes to get the full experience. read more

Aloha Grill - Katsu, Mac salad, and Kahlua pork - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Customer Service is awful, the lady at the register barely acknowledged our existence. The mac salad and guava cake were good but the meat tasted cheap. The silverware was open for anyone to touch and the hand sanitizer was behind the counter requiring folks to ask to use it. Won't be going back here. read more

Very unpleasant experience. Drove 30 minutes to try this place but was very disappointed with their service. Given the current pandemic we are facing, employee did not use gloves to make the musubi I ordered-she was making it with her bare hands after I saw her using the phone to take orders. I confronted her don't they use gloves when handling food?? And she was like oh ok....??? Come on, ain't this common sense because you are touching food that my family and I will be eating. Top of that, I returned back the two musubi she touched with her hands and she didn't give me a refund. I am so disappointed that this happened. Ugh...still can't find good Hawaiian food here in WA!!! read more

My friend and I decided to hang out one day but I had to pick him up at the Renton Honda but we wanted to eat lunch somewhere nearby because I had to finish some holiday shopping. He was craving Hawaiian food so luckily I found out about this place through Yelp when I was searching for places to eat nearby. The menu had a wide variety of the classics as well as a mix of some classics. I was actually craving chicken katsu when searching for a place to eat, and I knew this restaurant would have this, but they had chicken katsu loco moco and I knew I had to try it because I love both chicken katsu AND loco moco! My friend had a kalua pork loco mix. I also saw on the menu that they had poke and cakes. I was hungry and considered getting those but decided not to because I get full pretty fast, but I was really happy to know that that was an option. Most likely getting one or the other for the future. Our food came out pretty fast, and it was pretty good! I wouldn't say it was the best thing in the world though. I liked how crispy my katsu was and the gravy had a nice flavor to it. The macaroni salad and sunny side up eggs were good too. There was also a lot of rice on the plate, which is good, but unfortunately I got too full to finish it. There's something missing though that doesn't make me love the dish too much. But I would still order it again if I was in the mood. If I could, I would give this place 3.5 stars but I'll rate it at 3 for now. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either. Can't wait to try other things on their menu though! read more

This is my second time eating here and this time wasn't that great. I ordered the Big Elima plate. The katsu was barely fried so it was soggy and the teriyaki chicken was just okay. The only good thing about the plate was the Mac salad. read more

Aloha Grill - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Any place that has a comfortable outdoor, covered seating where I can bring my dog with me when I eat out is a 5 star place in my book. Add in amazing food, great service, friendly staff -- well, then it'll be a place that I'll be coming back to quite often! Been to Aloha Grill quite a few times -- this is one of our go to spots when we're just not truly up to cooking our own dinner ;) We've ordered dine in, take out, sat and ate at the outdoor patio so our dog can hang out with us. The food -- YUM! My go to dish is the chicken katsu -- love this. The katsu is fried just right that it is crunchy and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Of the few times we've been here, I admit I haven't tried anything else. My husband though has tried their loco moco plate, and their lau lau and kalua pork combo plate. While I'm a "chicken katsu loyalist" (haha), I of course steal some from his plate, and I have to say their loco moco is really good! The gravy is just right -- not too salty like other places I've been to. Both my husband and I agree that their lau lau and kalua pork was just okay. For the lau lau, we both think that the ratio between the taro leaves and the meat could be better (a little bit more meat please) and kalua pork was a tad salty for my taste -- nevertheless still good. Definitely recommend trying out the chicken katsu and loco moco! Additional note: When you dine in, they serve your food in plastic plates and you get real cutlery. Don't forget to get katsu sauce from the counter, if you've ordered the katsu. It's in a bottle at the counter -- if it's a slow time at the restaurant I usually just take the bottle to my table, but if it's rather busy I ask for a small bowl so I can just get some katsu sauce for myself. read more

I would give the place a 3.5 star. I had the Aloha Teri Beef. Overall it had good flavors. A smaller sized portion. But I got too many fat bites that were not meat. It came with 2 scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. There was fine seating and it was good for what it was. I can see why people like this place but I will continue to go to Sushi Today next door when I'm hungry and in this area of town. read more

If I am ever back in town I will definitely make a trip to this place. If you haven't tried it it a must especially if you are from the islands read more

Short version: I'm in love. Longer version: Don't be fooled by the restaurant's appearance. Not that it looks dirty or anything but the look leaves much to be desired. THE FOOD, however, is a whole different story. I was a bit wary of Aloha Grill. I can't really pinpoint the exact reason why, but expectations were low. It didn't seem as if many people went there and there must be a reason for that. Boy, I was wrong. I ordered the Beach Boy with spicy teri chicken. Best. Decision. Ever. The teri chicken wasn't too spicy but there was just enough spice to be satisfactory. I didn't think I would like the teriyaki beef that much but afterwards I didn't know which I loved more. The chicken was tender and was full of flavor. The beef, the same. The spam musubi wasn't particularly mind-blowing but it was still really good. In regards to portion size, it was just the right amount. After coming here that first time, I came back at least 2 more times in the following weeks. I can't speak for the other menu items, but I would highly recommend the Beach Boy with spicy teri chicken. Recommended for: anyone and everyone. read more

My husband & I love Aloha! If you're missing Hawaii, go there. The Maui Girl is our go to plate and the Mac salad is the absolute BEST here! It never disappoints when you want a great taste of Hawaii + leftovers! read more

Aloha Grill - Kalua Pork and Chicken Katsu - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

I haven't written a review in awhile being super busy working so here goes. Craving any sort of rice plate, I decided to choose Aloha Grill getting the Chicken Katsu rice plate. Walking in, the floors, counter, tables were clean with condiments and silverware organized neatly on the side. On the flipside, the floor at the drink dispenser was very sticky indicating a lot of spills and no cleanup. So if you're reading this business owner/manager, pay more attention to the floor in that back area for you and/or your employees to look at that. Regarding service, the worker that helped me did her job exceptionally well and was very courteous in taking my order and delivering it to my table. Eating, I felt that the portions were a little on the smaller side compared to L&L and other Hawaiian BBQ places. Then again, I have been working a lot to the point where my appetite is bigger than usual so take that statement with a grain of salt. Rice was typical, macaroni salad was ok, and the chicken katsu was good. Anyways, the atmosphere was fitting, a lot of people on break go to eat there, the food was ok, and the prices were typical in this current cost of living. Overall, this place is better than average and will consider coming back with friends/family. read more

Thank goodness for this place being open on new years day when I had a craving for kahlua pig!!! SO GOOD. authentic too. Boyfriend and I had the kahlua pork loco moco with gravy and eggs. It was delicious but be warned - you will have a serious food coma upon leaving. Will definitely be back! Maybe on a late night so I can sleep afterward... read more

Food quality excellent, hawaii stand up !! y'all have a great local food joint to head to around here

This place deserves 5 stars all the way. Well, it is a "hole in the wall" establishment but the portions are huge and the price is more than fair for what you get. We drive the extra miles just to go here! read more

Finally got a chance to try this place after bookmarking it months ago. I was relieved to see another Hawaiian place open in the area, especially in light of the poor offering of Aloha BBQ down the street (in Kent). I enjoyed it. Went for lunch, it wasn't too crowded. They have many of your typical Hawaiian offerings and I went with the kahlua pig. The server was accommodating to my request for no rice and substituted vegetables. They do offer brown rice in case you're wondering. To be fair, the food wasn't stand out but the proximity, the ease of ordering, the array of condiments more then convince me enough to come back for my Hawaiian fix in the area. read more

Aloha Grill - Cake comes from cakes of paradise which comes from Kauai family restaraunt. Nice authentic Hawaiian style cake - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

I had the garlic chicken and it was very flavorful. I really enjoyed the other two sides (being Mac salad & rice) because they complimented the chicken nicely, too. The worker who brought the food out from the kitchen, though, wasn't wearing a mask. It did leave me wondering if I should come back, despite how well the garlic paired with the chicken. I hope they're consistent with mask-wearing in the future because I'd love to come back. read more

Chicken Katsu was very good and crispy! Garlic shrimps were delicious! Nice warm atomospher.

We found this place after a visit to the hospital. Food was excellent, professional staff and great Hawaiian music. A must come to is you feel like Island food. read more

I am head-over-heels in love with this place. Easily some of the best Hawaiian food I've had (and let me tell you, I've had my fair share). Obsessed with the fact that you can order a kalua pork loco moco; these are two of my favorite dishes and combined it's ever better. Portions are massive and the food is so so so good. The mac salad is drool worthy, swear! We recently had Aloha Grill cater for one of our parties and my god they did not disappoint. "Serving size for 10" is easily enough for 15-20 people especially if you order rice & mac salad. The staff was so genuinely nice and carried all the food out to our car and even hooked us up with a bottle of house made sauce, which fortunately but unfortunately all of our guest used up. Safe to say we received so many complements on the food and we've been eating left over kalua pork, rice & mac salad for a week straight (but hey I'm not complaining). All-in-all Aloha Grill is authentic, savory and is guaranteed to fill you up! Love the staff and love the food, I will be back! read more

I really enjoyed the food I ordered from Aloha Grill! The Sloppy Ono is awesome! Good Spam Masubi Loved the side macoroni salad. Really great flavors in the Kalua Pork. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced. Great overall experience. I would reccommend to all. read more

I really want to give more stars for this place but overall, it's an okay place. Yes, I love that in any area, a Hawaiian food place is needed for the people that move up here; we need a place to eat! Fortunately for the people in this neighborhood, they have two choices close to each other. Unfortunately, they slightly copy each other in name so it gets a bit confusing on who is real. So, this is Aloha Grill...not to be confused with Aloha Hawaiian Grill. (In Kent on 71st down the street) I really hoped for real (town like) Hawaiian food since the people were so friendly and awesome. The atmosphere and ambiance of this place is really nice as well as the staff. They seem genuine and I felt at home there. The food: I had the Kalua Pig Loco Moco and a regular Loco Moco to compare. The beef patty was a bit meaty rather than savory like it should be. The type of meat in a Loco Moco makes it a loco moco, . . not a burger on top of rice. The pulled pork was a bit on the soft side...I would say mushy to describe it. The pork was also missing some flavor as it seemed to be just slow cooked and didn't have that good Hawaiian twist to it. The mac salad was on the fresh tasting side and not what I was used to. I do recall having this type of mac salad in the country side twice before, perhaps that's what they were trying to copy? overall, this place goes through the motions but lacks the hawaiian flavor. They have the products and the combinations but just doesn't hit the spot for me. but they do try and the place is nice with great people. The price is very good for the amount of food you get...as usual in hawaiian style but the place down the street is a little cheaper and more authentic. (the ambiance and service is the sacrifice there but if you don't mind that and just really want the food to be right, go to 71st) read more

Tiny little place in one of the strip malls along the road so is hard to spot while driving. Had the loco moco oh man the gravy is awesome. So good. One of my burger patties was a bit cajuned which detracted slightly from the flavour. Had the loco moco with some spam. Delicious. Hawaiian sun drink to wash it down. The gravy was so good I had to ask for more to finish the meal. Rice makes a great gravy absorber, by the way. read more

Aloha Grill - Loco Moco with spam. Love the gravy. - Hawaiian Near Me - Renton, Washington

Chicken Katsu with the Macaroni Salad...is best combo. They make their macaroni salad good where it isn't too strong or bland. The combination plates are good too, but I tend to just gravitate towards that katsu and mac when I order here. I'd give them more stars, except the combination plates or proteins can be inconsistent sometimes. Try it out. read more

The food was not best. The rice was overcooked it was just mushy. The kalua pig was overcooked and dry. the kalbi was weak in flavor and i felt like i only got one kalbi strip. read more

Katsu Curry on a bed of rice and side of macaroni salad. Tasted Fantastic after long day at work and was the daily special under 10 after tax. Salad wasn't over bearing. The curry was thick & flavorful just the tangy enough. Chicken was breaded think and tender ate most of it with chopsticks and was easy peasy. Would definitely return read more

This was the first place we went to and it was awesome! It was dead but the folks were nice! We ordered a short rib plate and my boyfriend ordered chicken katsu and spam masubi. All of it was delicious! The rice was a little bit too mushy but other than that everything was awesome! We will be back! read more

This place was great! I can't wait to go there enough times to eat the entire menu! We had the aloha platter that had 3 different meats, rice and mac salad. It was super great. The flavors were definitely different in each meat unlike other hawaiian grills make everything taste the same. My kid got the burger with onions and pineapple and devoured it! Service was great and it was nice to try all the sauces available at the front counter. It was a quick hop down the street from Valley Med where we have a family member there for a while and this was a nice casual place for ono grindz. We'll be back may times! read more

I ordered a kalua pig cabbage plate and my husband got the mixed plate which had bbq beef, bbq chicken and kalbi. I liked that they gave a decent amount of food in each plate. Each plate came with the typical two scoops of rice and a scoop of mac salad. The kalua pig was pretty tasty and I liked the ratio of kalua pig and the cabbage. I like when there's a little more cabbage than pork. Everything in my husband's bbq plate was pretty good too. read more

WOW! I don't care for loco mocos, but this place is an exception!! The gravy is SOOO good! A lot of places I've been to either make the gravy too bland and always drown the patty in it. This had a good amount and it's so flavorful! Patty was delicious too, as well as the mac salad. The mac salad wasn't bland at all and was very tasty! This restaurant even sells guava cake so that sold me! Can't wait to make trips here more often :D read more
