I love going to Hawaiian spots, but they're usually hard to come around; therefore, I gave Aloha Hawaiian BBQ a chance and absolutely loved the food. We got the pork katsu, shrimp, and fried chicken plates. The katsu was very crispy and paired well with a nice tangy sauce. The shrimp was banging and paired so well with the lemon and rice. And lastly, the fried chicken (chicken karaage) was so crispy and juicy but had such good flavor to it. The rice and mac paired so well with the proteins too. The service was nice; they have a kiosk where you order all your food and then a robot brings your food to the table. The ambiance had a nice Hawaiian decor to it and was full of color. Additionally, there's a decent amount of seating if you want to eat there. I'd definitely come back again and give this place a try. read more

I am extremely happy to find another Hawaiian restaurant near me and it's not a wannabe like H*B*. We came on a weekend during dinner and there was a mild rush in and out of pick up orders and people dining in. We grabbed a menu as we had some time to review their offerings before the last person in our group arrived. When it was time to order, we went for variety and got Kaleb, garlic chicken / lemongrass pork and the Hawaiian breakfast. We ordered enough to receive 2 spam musubis. Everyone was happy with their food and compared it to another well known Hawaiian place in the city - but here with better prices! We had plenty leftover for our party of 3 and pretty much could fill up 1 container! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying other items! read more

I discovered Aloha Hawaiian BBQ via a photo that was shared on my yelp feed. Once I looked at the menu and saw a picture of their fish katsu, it became a place that I just had to order from. I was pleased to find that it is located along a route that I frequently drive in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, which may lead to future visits onsite while in the area. And its 4.9 star rating out of 500+ on Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality ordering experience. I did further research on the menu before ordering and I took interest in the garlic butter shrimp, garlic butter fish fillet, vegetable lo mein, vegetable fried rice, crab rangoon, and of course the fish katsu! Out of those items that caught my eye, I ended up ordering the fish katsu with rice & macaroni salad as my sides. Whether it be Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Jesus, for arriving with my order in a reasonable time, as well as meeting me in front of my residence as requested. And Jesus also confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank him so much for. As for my order, I could not help but smell the fish katsu prior to opening the bag it was placed in. Along with the white rice and macaroni salad it appeared so delicious once I got my first glimpse of it after opening the container. I was pleased with the acceptable portions given, which made my mouth salivate as I took pictures of it to share not only on yelp, but with friends. As expected, the fish katsu tasted very delicious and the katsu sauce complimented it so well. I just could not resist smiling in between bites of it, which left my mouth salivating. As for the macaroni salad, it was the best I have ever had, I kid you not! I finished eating it quickly in between bites of the fish Katsu. Here is your warning! If you are looking for a satisfying meal that could very well turn into leftovers after you have recovered from your kanak attack, then look no further than the fish katsu! In closing, I had an overall great ordering experience as I have indicated in this review of Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. I would consider ordering from again whether it be online or even visiting for takeout when in the area. And with that, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all on yelp.

Every city I travel to for work if they have a Hawaiian BbQ spot I'm trying it, and let me tell you Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is legit one of my favorites. I've never heard of Pork Katsu, but it's now one of my favorite things to eat, it was amazing. Their gyoza was really good as well. The Teri- chicken was so flavorful and cooked just right. The star of the show to me was the Crab Rangoon. They were the size of my phone and they were filled with actual crab meat and cream cheese. The only reason this is a 4 and not a five was the Mac salad. It was sweet and in all my years of having Mac salad (even in Hawaii) it's never been sweet. This food was so good that I ordered it twice while I was here. Thank you Aloha Hawaiian BBQ! read more

Food is so so good here and Katie is really lovely, they have robots bringing food which is also fun

Friend and I ordered: Loco Moco - two beef patties, brown gravy, two eggs, scallions Pork Katsu Spam Egg Musubi Very happy with our food overall. Loco Moco patties are made fresh. Eggs fried perfectly. Rice and macaroni were properly cooked. Not too much mayo used in Mac salad which we like. Fried pork katsu was tender, not dry. The egg in spam Musubi was Japanese tamago. No issues with service. Decent amount of seating inside. Reasonably priced! Probably because of the neighborhood. read more

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ had us saying "ALO-HA" for how insanely good it was. We made the trek from Uptown, and it was absolutely worth it--left full, happy, and already planning a return trip. The spam musubi hit the perfect balance of rice, spam, and sauce--simple but wildly satisfying. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the chicken katsu nailed that golden, crispy bite. The mac salad was sweet and creamy, though I found myself wishing for a little ham or pineapple twist to round it out--and it could've been a bit colder, since I love a chilled mac salad. The portions? Massive. We rolled out with leftovers and full bellies. My one suggestion: layer that fluffy rice under the meat so it soaks up all those juicy drippings--it'd take the plate from great to next-level. The drinks were a playful nod to Hawaii--tropical, refreshing, and just fun. We even scored a fruit tea on the house thanks to our order total, which was delicious (though the popping boba didn't quite make it through the straw). From the friendly staff to the spotless space, everything about this spot made it worth the drive. I'd absolutely cross town again for another plate of those ribs. read more

I absolutely love the food here but I deducted one point because they failed to remind us that if we spend over, 30, 40 or 50 we get a free drink or appetizer of spam musubi or crab Rangoon. I spent over 60 and didn't read till later about the free stuff we get after spending a certain amount. I also thought they could have been more honest and reminded customers about this. That's a fail on their part. The food is still really delicious. read more

I like this place so much that I've ordered catering for my office and had Uber pick up/deliver it since my office is outside of their delivery zone. Some highlights are their huli huli chicken, lemongrass pork and bulgogi-like beef. I don't like mayo so I typically don't eat mac salad, but I can tolerate theirs. read more

I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner restaurant anywhere. Add to that the polite staff and the fabulous food. This place is a win! Love the macaroni salad. The servings were quite substantial. It does take just a little bit for everything to come out, but that is because it is all really cooked when you order it. I'm not particularly fond of the service robots so that one's not a real plus for me. read more

Really good food and a great option for takeout! The katsu is a good portion, the hurricane fries were amazing, and I'm happy that they offer a tamago musubi as a vegetarian option! Only got takeout for now, but everything was taken care of well. Will have to go back for an in person visit for their ambiance. read more

Awesome food. I had the combo plate, shrimp and beef. My buddy had chicken kansu. The only negative was how the food was served when we ate in. They served us in 'to go plastic trays' which is bad for the environment. Food was outrageously delicious read more

I was driving past and noticed this restaurant. I haven't had Hawaiian food in ages, so I turned around and had an unexpected dinner here. What a pleasant surprise.

A great place to tryout. Went for the ribs and tried the orange chicken and pad Thai with shrimp. Affordable prices and the sides that came with the Korean ribs were great. Macaroni salad and it came over like a cabbage salad as well as white rice. The service was courteous, and good came out fast. Strongly recommend the ribs. read more

We ordered from the catering menu for our backyard birthday party and it was an absolute hit! We had Vegetable Fried Spring Rolls, Hawaiian Fried Rice, Huli Huli Chicken, Beef Lo Mein, and Vegetable Fried Rice.

The food is legit and super delicious. People inside are really nice and helpful. Definitely has this pan-Asian/hawaiian vibe that works as far as decor. Really nicely seasoned food that's balanced and flavorful. For the price you can't go wrong because the serving sizes are fantastic. Definitely coming back for the pork combo and spam musabi and want to try more options. read more

Came here with some friends last week while on vacation and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the house specialties: Teriyaki Chicken, Garlic Shrimp, and Orange Chicken as well as some sides. Must say these dishes tasted better than most Hawaiian BBQ places I've been to. Service was fast and the environment inside gave a nice tropical and fun vibe with a decent amount of tables. Will come again to try some of their drinks next time. read more

I guess I'm going back read more
