We were in town for just one night. Being from Hawaii I always want to get Hawaiian food if the city I'm traveling to has it. I found this place on yelp and decided to try it because of the reviews. I'm glad that I did. First of all I really liked the friendly service. They had Hawaiian music playing so I really felt at home. I let the guy at the register know that I was from Hawaii and he asked if I could taste the food before I left and give him a review. We had ordered the Aloha Family Meal. It comes with 7 scoops of rice, 4 scoops of Mac salad and 3 proteins. We had chicken katsu, kalua pork and kalbi. We paid an extra $2.99 to get the kalbi. It was worth it. I tasted everything and was happy that I chose this place to eat at. Everything was great. This meal is for 4 people but there was only 2 of us. We have a lot of leftovers for the plane trip home. I got some gravy to put on the rice and katsu. They have katsu sauce and curry sauce if you want. I tried the katsu sauce and it's a little different from Hawaii. The curry sauce that they have is a green curry. I really only like Japanese curry so I didn't try it. The rice that they use is calrose and this is what's supposed to be used. I spoke with the owner Andy and he was very friendly. He ended up giving me 2 spam music. I can't wait to eat it on the plane. If I ever come back to Dallas I will stop by as soon as I get off of the plane. People please stop by and give them a try. You won't regret it. read more

Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue - lunch combo: bbq chicken and beef - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Friendly customer service! As someone who often visits Hawaii, I consider this my go-to spot in Dallas for authentic Hawaiian barbecue chicken katsu, kalua pork, and macaroni salad. Everything is freshly prepared each time. read more

Dope spot. Amazing service and even better food. Walked in and this place was empty. But damn was not expecting to have a super hella fresh and amazing meal. The service was so good they even sold me on that Hawaiian add on (eggs and grilled jalapeños). Not sure if it's family owned. But it def looked like it Just good vibes and even better foods. Yall better check it out man!! read more

I love the view and that planes fly over the building. Their food is good and you must try the barbecue chicken. It's nice and tender. It started the last time I came there they didn't have ice, but oh well who cares and the food is quick and there's always a lady that would take your order, and she is sometimes funny unless you don't like it, and you decide to hate on it that would be disappointing for me. because there is no way that this place is horrible. The food is always quick. read more

Cozy place and good food! Friendly staff :) overall a great experience, definitely a great go-to place!

Great, authentic Hawaiian food. I recommend the Spam Musubi, Loco Moco, Kalua Pork, or Chicken Katsu. Great pricing too!!

Went here when I worked around the area awhile ago. Finally had time to go back and really indulge. Sadly feel like quality has to be decreasing. Got the spam musubi and bbq short ribs. Their spam musubi is well worth it with how much you get. The beef was such bad quality I couldn't finish. Only one guy was on staff and he was nice. Self serve sauces didn't seem that well made. Might be fine for a quick lunch. read more

Well, maybe it was the time of day, busy, lunchtime. Service was ok, place to me has an old school vibe, not bad. Again maybe it was what I ordered, it was ok, not worth what I paid for it, Loco Moco. A lot of food but just didn't do it for me. Not giving up or say I'll never be back. I'll do a second chance sometime. Stay tuned .... read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm glad I finally did! Easy ordering system with a tablet at the front. The staff was extremely friendly and sweet. Food was made fresh when I ordered it. Portions are VERY generous too, so it's a great value for the price. Pretty comparable to other Hawaiian bbq places I've tried here and in California. I recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue - Chicken katsu and shrimp plate with double mac salad - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It was my first time eating here and I ordered to go. The wait wasn't long at all and it came out fresh and hot. Service was great. Really friendly people! The food was SO good as well. I got plate with 3 meats so I could try a few different flavors. I'd definitely order again read more

Comfort homemade vibes with friendly staff I would call this a 4. 5 stars if you have the proper expectations. The food isn't going to blow you away. It has more a homemade touch to it versus the classic restaurant overflowing with flavor and fats. So in one sense it's not as impressive, but with the excellent and friendly service you may feel at home. My wife and I got a make your own 3 combo plate and chose the BBQ chicken, BBQ short ribs, and chicken katsu. Also got spam musubi (comes in 2). The BBQ chicken easily won the night. The smokey BBQ flavor and tenderness were great. The BBQ short ribs came in next, a good mix of fatty but doesn't stand out. The chicken katsu is lighter fried than expected but still is crispy. Again doesn't stand out. The spam musubi surprisingly was disappointing. The rice was mushy and there was no sauce between the spam and rice and there was a lot of rice so the flavor to rice ratio was off. I was more forgiving and would come again to try other items since it's nearby but my wife was less so. 4 stars read more

Ordered the 3 meat combo, got the beef, short rib and the bbq chicken. I would say over all the food is not super flavorful but it also doesn't have a lot of fat and oil. The bbq chicken was cooked good again the flavor is not wow but good. The beef was ok but the short rib was pretty good even if it wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. I really enjoyed the macaroni salad it's super creamy and just enjoyed it overall. I enjoyed my plate but not sure if I'd order again, but if I do I would definitely order a sauce to add to the meat. read more

Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue - Any 3 Items Combo Bbq Ck Hawaiian,Short Ribs,Beef, Macaroni Salad (1 Scoop) - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Service and food has improved in recent months and check-ins. My go to is the hamburger steaks and lumpia.

Nothing makes BBQ better than an iHeart radio commercial playing on repeat. 10/10 for ambiance But seriously, same as any other Hawaiian bbq place. Delicious. read more

Great place. We visit everytime we come to Dallas and the food is great, plentiful and reasonably priced (a rarity nowadays) One of our favorite family owned businesses ever. read more

This is the real deal! Only place my wife likes. Katsu chicken is very GOOD! I drive 55miles to get here, and worth it. Thank you read more

The food was good. The staff was very nice. I am gonna repeat, I had the short ribs and bbq beef.

Great customer service! Great tasting food! Ordered the Chicken Katsu! Would most definitely come back.

BBQ Mix 4/5 Spam Musubi 4/5 Overall enjoyed this restaurant! BBQ Mix has a good variety BBQ meat (Marinated Beef, rib and chicken). My favorite is probably the rib, which has a nice and strong grill flavor as you bite into it. The marinated beef, when freshly cooked, was also really good and as good as the bulgogi from korean restaurants. Though the chicken taste feel like something you can grab from panda express. The highlight of the meal, surprisingly, is the mac n cheese salad on the side, that offered a refreshing break from the heaviness of the meat. The spam musubi was also pretty good, especially if dipped in the bbq sauce. Though the price does feel a little steeper compared to the dish plates since two order of the musubi would equal to that of a full dish. read more

They need to add more flavor and marinate all the protein longer to get more tender and lastly the macaroni salad was not subpar. I won't be back. read more

Hawaii is def on my list of places to visit, so when I discovered this rest. I had to try it out. The only Hawaiian food I've had is poke & I'm not a huge fan. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ chicken (comes with rice & macaroni salad) and a side order of spring rolls. The spring rolls were good, standard nothing to rave about. The chicken (the star of the show) was really good. It was grilled white & dark meat and it was so well seasoned. I really don't know what to compare it to because it was a different flavor than anything I've experienced before. The macaroni salad was also good, it was light and paired well with the chicken. Only thing I I did not like was the fact that the BBQ sauce & sweet and sour sauce are sold separately. Although the chicken is served on a bed of cabbage, it still needs a sauce to go with it (not to mention to eat with the rice as well). read more

We LOVED Aloha!! Saeed was very friendly and helpful, not to mention hilarious! Food was reasonably priced and portions were generous, and most of all it was DELICIOUS. Ambiance was lovely and service was superb. Only qualm is the macaroni salad was not super flavorful. Otherwise we highly recommend! read more

I was on a walk by my apartments and saw this place. I never been so I was like why not. I ordered at the kiosk and got the chicken combo with double white rice and Mac. I only waited about 10 minutes so the service was really fast. When I tried my food , I fell in love. The chicken Katsu is really crispy and has a lot of flavor. The Hawaiian bbq is good as well. I will definitely be back read more

I ordered take out from this place for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it! We got the BBQ chicken & beef (#5) and the spicy chicken & katsu (#3) lunch combos for around $20. The portions were great, and the food was very good. Ordering online was easy and there were no extra fees. Don't forget the sauces in the corner, the manager pointed them out to me before I left! read more

A local staple. Definitely fills the craving for Hawaiian bbq/fare! I love the 3 protein combo (usually get chicken katsu, short rib, and marinated beef). Honestly it's a GREAT value, portions are so so generous and appreciated. The mac is delicious too! I've never dined in, but to-go service is quick. Parking lot is ample. read more

Fast, delicious, and just the place if your downtown Dallas, and you have a hankering for Hawaiian food. Don't ask me why, but that's the situation I was in. This place is kinda small and a bit hard to find but worth the find! Friendly and fast service, the Kalua pork was delicious, pull apart, and just amazing. What I love is true to Hawaiian dishes, there was a scoop of rice and macaroni salad!! I wish there was Lau Lau, which is my favorite but no worries, tons of other options really. I'll be back when I'm in the area to try the sausage. read more

Yelpers really be lying sometimes! Lol! While this spot looked like a local 808 joint, had great service & vibe, the food definitely was not it. The Katsu had no flavor at all, bbq beef was bland, and spicy chicken bland. No seasoning at all and lacking flavor. The loco moco was decent but I'm pretty sure the patty is a frozen pre-made one. Spam and eggs were the best part of the meal, but who can really mess that up? The most authentic part of our meal were the lilikoi passion drinks. Maybe it was an off day for the chef and he forgot to season everything? Either way, don't trust these yelpers y'all. Shoutout to the cashier tho, he was super friendly. read more

Delicious Hawaiian bbq meat. I get the mix with chicken and beef, comes with macaroni salad and rice. It is a lot to eat for one unless you're really hungry. The owner is super sweet! They only have take out during the pandemic. Call ahead to order read more

Probably one of the best value $8 meals you can get! I'm so glad to have a solid Hawaiian bbq place in the area for when we're craving a filling and easy meal. Aloha is perfect for when you want something quality that's a step above fast food for the same price. My favorite combo is the katsu + spicy chicken to get variety of texture and flavor! Also their macaroni salad is the best I've ever had. Make sure not to skimp out on sauces, especially their Aloha sauce (tastes good even on the macaroni salad)! If you like Japanese curry, they have a special curry sauce you can pay a few dollars extra for that pairs especially well with the katsu. read more

Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue - Spicy Chicken and Chicken Katsu Combo Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Pros: 1. Char grilled chicken thigh had a nice char and smoky flavor 2. Beef short ribs and BBQ beef had great flavor and char 3. I liked the cabbage that was served under the meat, since it absorbed the flavor of the meat drippings Cons: 1. Macaroni salad needed more pepper and maybe a dash of apple cider vinegar 2. Chicken Katsu was a bit on the dry side 3. Employee kept trying to upsell us when we were browsing the menu read more

I came here on a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I did! The food- - Yummy crispy chicken katsu, probably the best I've had, on a bed of cabbage - delicious katsu sauce and aloha sauce - Decent macaroni salad (I'm not much of a macaroni salad connoisseur so I can't really attest to it being the best ever like other reviews have exclaimed) - Ok short ribs (not what I was expecting, also tough to cut even though the meat itself was juicy and succulent- I think this would be better if it were shredded)- I didn't feel that this was worth the extra charge it adds - Satisfying scoop of white rice - large portion considering this was the mini meal! - total ~9 The experience- - nice seating area of booths and tables, I felt comfortable eating here - friendly staff/managers - self serve utensils and sauces Overall, I'd come back, but maybe not for a while since it is on the heavier side health wise. read more

Some quick Hawaiian food but it is quite delicious. Always love getting the short ribs with all macaroni salad as my side. Make for a fantastic lunch when I work from home and usually have leftovers too. read more

One of go-to places to grab take out lunch! I got the two meat plate with the pork and beef. The meats are tender and pretty flavorful. There's an assortment of sauces that you can add to it as well. The portions are quite generous and I usually eat it for two meals. It comes with one scoop of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. I LOVE the macaroni salad, I could eat a whole pint of it tbh but I probably shouldn't. read more

OMG! I have missed Hawaiian food whenever I'm not in LA that's for sure. However, I did find my lil gem not long ago and have been a loyal customer to this great tasting cuisine. I order my fav which is the chicken katsu and spam masubi with spicy and sweet sauce. They close at 8pm FYI read more

Just moved here from Hawaii (Feb 2022) which I worked as the General Manager at a world known Hawaiian BBQ place. I was excited to see some local food spot here in Texas. I ordered the bbq mix and lumpia's. I was so upset with my first bite of kalbi it had no flavor. It looked marinated but it wasn't. The rice is good, Mac salad didn't have any flavor, but on the island that is always a hit or miss. The lumpia did the Filipino great justice!! Buggah was ono ono!! I didn't bother eating my plate because of disappointment with that first bite! Hopefully this feedback will help. read more

As far as Hawaii local food authenticity goes. 200x more authenticate than Hawaiian bros for example. Food similar to L&L for us locals. However if you're in this part of Dallas totally recommend. The food is ono, the music reminds you of home, and the ambience is casual. Prices are going up because of inflation but definitely not Hawaii prices. Come try! Aloha read more
