I always see Aloha Salads around downtown but the parking situation is no bueno so when my friends and I went to Kahala, I knew this was my opportunity to eat here finally! Their salad prices are quite expensive but I thought it was worth the try. I got the Thai Satay salad with chicken and a cup of their tomato bisque! Their dressing for the satay was very good, but the chicken was pretty dry. The highlight of aloha salads was their amazing tomato bisque. It also came with a slice of pita bread which also tasted amazing with the soup. I would definitely come back for the tomato bisque itself! read more

I've always like the salads since they opened up in Kahala and even way back when they were in Ward Warehouse. I recently ordered a Mediterranean Salad. I asked for steak as a protein. The steak was not chewable and edible. It was full of tendons and not pleasant to eat or chew. The beef cut you are providing is of very low quality. I think that I only ate about three very small pieces from the serving I had in my salad. Can this be improved? I will visit again but will not ask for beef again. Thanks. read more

Nice place to get a salad on Kahala Mall. Reasonably priced and very good service from both the gentleman taking the order to the young lady making the salads. Both very personal and professional and make my salad without black bean and extra dressing as requested, no problems and accommodating. Will definitely comeback again as it a new spot for me though They've been here for a bit. read more

Ordered the mini salads the "ono island ahi" and "big island beet". The ahi needed more work: it wasn't cooked at all on the outside part (after requesting) and wasn't cut all the way through (simply scored), so it was difficult to eat as individual bite-sized pieces of fish. It was hard for me to eat because I did not have sharp enough cutlery to cut it myself. It was also a filet with the sinew left on the bottom so it chewed like rubber; a very thin filet with a depressing, bland rub. I would suggest soy sauce just to mimic the preparation of poke... which we all love and are familiar with. The "bib" is okay but a small tiny scoop of goat cheese and too much dried cranberries. Their service was very quick and friendly, we will not order again and because I gave tips % after paying. read more

I used to get salads from Aloha Salads a lot when it first opened. I returned last night to get a "goddess" salad.... 1) the "goddess" dressing is thick and creamy; when I think of healthy salads, I don't think of this dressing. 2) for $13, I got a small salad, a ton of pine nuts, some mushy papaya, avocado and 6 tiny pieces of steak (really, these pieces accumulated to about the size of the prong part of my fork). 3) The cashier had to charge my card again...why? "I did it wrong the first time". Okay, at least you admit to your mistakes. I get that they use local products....but really? I can go to whole foods right next door and make 4 or 5 better salads with local ingredients. read more

My most favorite lunch spot of all time- Aloha Salads Kahala is always staffed with friendly workers who are enthusiastic about delivering beautiful and healthy meals. The manager Shawn remembers my name and my order, and is always willing to go above and beyond with special requests. They'll even make a catering salad in your own dish if you bring it to them when you order. Most recently I discovered their family-size tomato bisque portion and have made that a regular go-to for quick family dinners. You can't go wrong with anything you order at Aloha Salads, but I recommend trying my favorite - the Mediterranean! read more

This is my favorite salad place, ever The selection is wonderful, the ingredients are always fresh, and my only complaint is they should open more locations! I'd love to see the downtown location reopened, or something near Kakaako/Waikiki. Until then I'll be making the drive - well worth it! Everything's good, whether I'm in the mood for a Cobb, Paniolo, Mediterranean, or one of their delish wraps or sandwiches. read more

I came here two days in a row. On day 1, after paying for my salad I asked for a printed receipt, which contains a QR code you scan with your phone to collect loyalty points. The employee rips off the scan code and hands me just the receipt. She puts the code beside the register along with a stack of codes. I asked her to give me the code so I can scan it for points. She gave me a startled look and handed me the code as if she forgot. The next day the same thing happens. After ringing me up, the girl walks away. When my food comes I ask for the receipt. She then rips off the QR code and gives me just the receipt (different employee this time). It seems as if there is no manager around and the employees are collecting the customers points and using it for themselves or giving them away to friends or something. Or did the boss tell them to try and hide them so they don't have to give away free salads. They're stealing/lying to the customers by doing this. I hope the owner/manager puts a stop to this dishonest and unrighteous behavior. And the service was very bad. Long unnecessary waits just to take your order and wait for your food. Unprofessional all around 2 days in a row. read more

Fresh, fast, delicious and reasonable. We had the Cobb, Chicken Cesar and tomato bisque soup. Everything was delicious especially the soup!! The Cobb salad comes with a lot of toppings. I saved some of it for another salad. The only kinda negative thing is the avocado wasn't the freshest. We are planning on going again. read more

Had a gift card to use so I decided to give it a try. Ordered the large portion Ahi salad, medium and it was delicious. The Ahi was flavorful and cooked just right. The salad had all the goodies and the dressing really complimented it nicely. I would eat a salad like this daily (if someone would make it for me!). I also got a large tomato bisque and it was as some of the best tomato bisque I have ever eaten! Pricing was a little high, it was $23 for my large salad and large soup. But the quality and taste was worth it (and having a GC didn't hurt). Would order from here again when I want something healthy and want to treat myself! read more

Usually I would let things slide but this was unacceptable. My clam chowder that I had ordered came burnt and smelled absolutely horrible. The fact that I paid for a large and it cost a decent amount more is upsetting. However, the worst part of this was that the cooks/workers thought that this was acceptable. read more

U went to aloha salads in Kahala mall on June 24, the college help making the salad was very rude when I asked for utensils to eat my take out order. They need to be trained in customer service. There is alot of competition out there and not yelling at a customer is not necessary. You need utensils to eat a salad read more

Aloha Salads - Sandwiches Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The quality and service has gone down consistently over time. Portions have gotten smaller. The pita bread is now half of a half. On 7/05/24, I ordered online which is the one thing I like about this place. I got a Cobb salad which previously I could sub mushrooms for tomatoes with no charge and no problem. This time, I had to pay extra for the mushrooms. When I got home, I found no mushrooms! Was it worth the 95 cents to call the store about? No. The chicken was like rubber and the smashed up slice of avocado was like a why even bother. This was less than disappointing. I keep saying I'm not going back. Also when I order online, I'm doing so for convenience. When I went to pick up my order, a woman was standing in the way chit chatting with a worker who didn't tell her to move on the side. This woman obviously was oblivious to anyone around her since she didn't hear anyone behind her. When people are paying $18 per SALAD, make it a good experience. read more

This made me sad... On Sunday we were in line at the Aloha Salads in Kahala Mall and watched as an unhappy customer was returning what he had purchased. it looked like he was asking for a refund on, what looked like, two wraps. For whatever reason, the young girl behind the counter refused to give this man back his money. He complained about there being no Humus in his wraps. Upset, he opened up both wraps and asked them to show him where the Humus was....He said it was the second time it has happened and that he had to drive back from home to deal with this. It made me upset to see this because of the way the young woman at the register handled it. This man explained that he had a plane to catch and demanded his refund. This young woman, still refused to refund him. Being that she was the only one of the four or five workers there without a uniform on, I thought that she was the owner or manager. I thought that she looked too young to be the owner, but you never know, nowadays. Nevertheless, this man was repeatedly told that he was not going to get a refund, despite him giving the two items back. From behind the counter everyone could hear this employee scream and cuss at this man. It was so unprofessional and it was what made me realize that she was not the owner. There is no way an owner would do all that this young woman took it upon herself to do. here was even one point in which the girl acted as if she was going to throw the sandwich at his face. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Clearly upset, the man reached into the tip jar grabbed the money and said that he would take his refund from there. I cant say that I agree with that action, and certainly wouldn't have the nerve to do such a bold move. However, The young woman, behind the counter, refused this mans refund. by now, everybody in that section of the mall was watching as this scene unfolded. As the visibly upset man walked out with the tip money in hand, this girl took out her phone and began to video record him. He tried several times to swat the girls phone away from in front of his face, all to no avail. Then, he suddenly threw the money at her as he said, what I could only assume to be some choice words of his own back at her. I couldn't hear what he said being that they were at that point out of the mall and in front of Whole Foods. The young employee came back in the mall with the money in her hand, cursing like a sailor. It was unbelievable. Then, just as we all thought it was over, The man came back in, headed to the counter to ask again for his refund. We couldn't believe that this girl not only refused him once more, but proceeded to call 911, telling them that it was an emergency, then in speaking with the 911 emergency operator began to say how he hit her and took her money. then gave the police a description of him and requested that they come to Aloha Salads immediately. My 86 year old mother was with me and couldn't get over the fact that this girl took up a 911 emergency resource for what she described as "shameful mall drama nonsense." It wasn't until this man came from the back of Aloha Salads, and in an ever so calm demeanor began to speak with the girl which prompted her to open the register before the he took out the refund and handed it over to the now satisfied customer. The customer, or should I assume, former customer, walked off without a word being said and exited the mall. Then we say the police lights outside arrive as we made our way to Jamba Juice. This was shameful. Why this man had such a hard time getting a refund was beyond us. I was born and raised in Kahala and have been coming to the mall here my whole life. I have never witnessed such unprofessional behavior in my 61 years of life, anywhere as bad as what we witnessed on Sunday. My mom, was especially repulsed and vowed to never eat from Aloha Salads again. After witnessing a simple return that was not only refused, but escalated into a big ugly scene that didn't at all have to happen. I know this for sure, I wont be eating at Aloha Salads if that young girl is working behind the counter. I feel for the owners, who probably worked so hard to get their business to where it is at, pay the mall its rent for the space, which, I am sure, is not be cheap, only to have a single paid employee lose customers because she refuses to act in a professional manner. Times are surely changing. read more

Their salads are excellent! I always add on the curry chicken salad because the flavor is so good. But the real surprise MVP is the tomato soup! Holy cow that stuff is creamy. Great value too read more

Salad was ok for the price. But the service was horrible. The young girls working there were abrupt. As soon as I got to the counter, i was demanded to order at the register. I almost left because I wasn't spoken to politely. There is no sense of please or thank you by any of the girls serving me. Another customer next to me told the girls, "Sorry, now I know where to go to pick up next time". Why was she apologizing to the worker? The worker responded, "that's ok". Customers should not be made to feel like they need to apologize. When my food was ready, She called my name, left it on the table and walked away. Maybe im old school, but in my day, that would have been unacceptable customer service. I will remember that and not likely to go back unless I forget what it was like. It's sad because the salad was actually not too bad, but it could have been better. They gave me old avocado. I would have given another star if it weren't for the poor customer service. The girls looked young, so I don't blame them, but that is no excuse. It's just poor training. read more

If you like a fruity salad that doesn't need dressing because it is banging with taste, get the Aloha Pineapple! I love Aloha Salads, but this specific one kills me with their waits. There could be no line and it'll still take me 30 min to get my food. This last visit was exceptionally slow... and painful. I walked up to the cash register like usual, and like usual made note of the new staff. The girl at the register, although sweet, could not find any of the buttons. It was so bad, that she had to ask the person making the salads where buttons where- holding up the production of the previous orders. But even the both of them at the register was like watching paint dry. I almost suggested that they call a supervisor or trainer to assist, but I wanted to be patient and not be rude. Finally, the agony of the ordering done. Kahala mall is always busy with no tables, so I decided I scope out a table first and watch those that got there before me get their food before standing there for my order. The usual 30 min later and I grab my order. They read it back and it sounds good. I open it and was disappointed. I wanted no mustard, but mayo (didn't happen). I wanted mango sub for onion because I'm allergic to onions (there were onions in my salad). I wanted dressing tossed light and paid for a side dressing- no side dressing present. I went back to inform them of the problem and tried to stand to the side/front of the line. When she was done with the cashier I tried to tell her that my order wasn't right and she told me to wait. By the time everything was correct it was almost 2 hours before I got my food. I LOVE Kahala Mall. I LOVE Aloha Salads. BUT, this Aloha Salad location has lost my business. I'm so over them. read more

I usually come here a lot before for their tomato bisque. But it's a hit and miss sometimes they would only fill your cup half way! And I paid $6-7 for that. Disappointing! Reason I kinda just stop buying it. Today, I decided to come here after a long time. I was disappointed when they totally forgot my order and had me waiting for a long time till they notice. And then I notice the girl who was preparing the food went to the register and did a transaction with the gloves she had on previously from preparing food. Then straight went back to doing peoples order with the same gloves! That's totally unsanitary. Do you know the amount of GERMS that are on money? I don't even care if it was a card payment. The register holds the same amount of germs too! I hope anyone that orders from them observe their order because they clearly don't care about sanitation. read more

This is probably my first yelp review ever. I went to get a salad this evening after a hard day of work only to bring it home and find out they forgot to include my salad dressing. As fyi I have none at home. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I know this is super petty but it really ruined my dinner that I was looking forward to. read more

This is my go to place for salads. Very consistent quality of fresh ingredients. Fast service. My favorite is the paniolo chicken salad. I can stretch the meal into two large portions. I call ahead of time and ready for pickup in 10 minutes. read more

Located in Kahala Mall right next to Grylt and Starbucks. I always make sure to stop by here when I'm hungry and in the area. With no reserved seating, be prepared to stand while waiting for your food unless you're lucky to find seating in the food court but that gets filled fairly quickly. I however don't mind the no reserved seating as I walk around during my wait for my food. My favorite the Kamuela Cobb salad with Caesar dressing. Yum. read more

Ate here for the 1st time and tried the Maui Mozarella, large size. It was so HUGE and came with two pieces of pita bread. It was really delicious. You could tell all the veggies were fresh. It came with 3 thick slices of mozarella, wish I had 1 more. Definitely a salad I would order again. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Aloha Salads - Maui Mozarella - Sandwiches Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Always BUSSIN fr fr. Was my fav salad place 10 years ago and I came back to the island and it's still just as good!

This review is strictly regarding the quality and value of the food, customer service was great! I ordered a Paniolo salad with no protein. The skimpy servings of toppings was so disappointing considering that IS the salad when there is no protein. I also found it very disappointing that the corn they use is from a can. One of my biggest gripes is when restaurants make salad and do not take apart the romaine hearts, this should be standard for a food establishment specializing in salad!!! This is the only option for salad places which is why they stay busy. Please do better Aloha Salads! read more

I would definitely recommend this place. So far, all the salads we've tried were pretty good. You get a nice serving for the price you pay. And the variety of salads and add-ons is plentiful. The online ordering makes it so easy and efficient--your food is always ready for pick up so you never have to wait. I would absolutely keep coming back. read more

Steer clear of this place! They will rip you off. I've come to this location a few times and every time they've screwed up my order and have some weird explanation as to how they charge when you build your own salad. some employees have disgusting hygiene. Not the kind of people you'd want handling your food. I reached out to management and they were even worse than the staff. Next door is Whole Foods where you can build your own salad as well and save $7. Never coming back here. read more

Salads are fresh, good and substantial size for the cost. However, the owner hires teenagers and owner doesn't educate these teens on proper customer service etiquette. After spending $35 + an 18% tip, I asked for a cup of water (tap water mind you), and I was told they had to charge 80 cents for a cup of water. I said, you're kidding--I just spent $40 on food and you won't give me a cup of water? Teenager just shrugged--like she had no choice in the matter. So much for the "Aloha" in Aloha salads. Not sure I'll be back. read more

I just love love love this place. You can tell everything is made with fresh ingredients...not just by the price. My favorite thing to get is a caesar salad with tomato bisque soup. They have THE BEST bisque soup I have ever had and I have gone well out of my way to get a bowl. My only gripe is the price, but you have to pay for fresh, I suppose. read more

My husband and I ordered a steak wrap from Aloha Salads. I always pull my food apart and eat smaller bites. It's a good thing I have this bad habit because in my steak wrap was a ladybug. The need to wash their veggies better because this could have been prevented. I loss my appetite and ended up not having dinner. The girl who refunded me was extremely apologetic and gave me a refund. read more

The cooks at this location always serve undercooked meat. I love this chain. Not sure what the procedure is normally, but here, it always comes out lukewarm at best. Also they never put any seasoning on. I have to put it in the microwave and even then it's soggy, rubbery and just gagsom. Kinda like it's been sitting there past it's expiration and they didn't even try to make it good. It's like this 9 times out of 10 at this location. read more

Aloha Salads - meat in a styrofoam container - Sandwiches Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was always curious and a bit skeptical about Aloha Salads. Every time I passed by, it seemed as if they never had any customers. But I'm pleased to report that there is much to discover! It's always a little intimidating visiting a restaurant for the first time...but its especially nerve-wracking when it's a "walk up and order" place. I had the opportunity of going to the order counter to look at the menu (because I couldn't read the main menu since my vision is so bad). I was then confronted with a shift supervisor(?) and he just stared at me! I told him I was just looking at the menu but he kept staring waiting for me to order...talk about intimidating! I eventually decided to get the regular sized Kahuku Spinach http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=VTWSWZlEX2tZu9Yv2xXD2w which was one of their "signature specials" and was $9.25. The Kahuku Spinach was outstanding! Normally I'm not too fond of salads...I'm more of a "give me something with protein" type of guy. But the Kahuku Spinach had grilled tiger shrimps, bacon, wedges of avocado, and a whole hardboiled egg on top of bed of fresh spinach leaves. Talk about a power packed protein salad! The Kahuku shrimp was hot and tasted as if it were just grilled. And their papaya seed dressing was also pretty interesting. It was very sweet and left a pleasant aftertaste. While ordering I learned that the regular size order comes with 4 pieces of shrimp, or you can order a smaller one for $2 less and comes with 2 pieces. But no matter what size you get, I would highly recommend getting the salad dressing on the side. That way you can control the amount of dressing on your salad! The service was fast! I was in and out in within 5 minutes and my salad even came with two hot pieces of pita bread! The best part is that everything is local! Hmm...I wonder if they just buy ingredients from Wholefoods next door. But for $9.25 I'd say it's fairly priced for a salad. After all eating healthy is EXPENSIVE! I swear...if America wanted to be cut obesity they should make fast food expensive and healthy food cheap. Because if they did I would eat these salads everyday!

My daughters and I love the salads and wraps! The workers....they are amazing. Today's crew had to deal with a lady that was rude and obnoxious. She was swearing at them and wouldn't leave them alone. She was threatening to turn them in and even cussed/insulted another customer who was trying to calm her. The crew remained calm and politely asked her to stop talking to them. The workers were apologetic (even though it wasn't their fault). read more

Aloha Salads and Whole Foods are 2 of my favorite places to get a salad in Kahala Mall. I love salads that have a lot of fixings on it, because I'm not the type that can just eat greens plain. Some of my favorite salads there are: 1) Aloha Passion 2) Paia Pomegranate 3) Aloha Pineapple 4) Make your own salad creation I also love their soup and sandwiches, so most of the time I get their Salad and Soup or Sandwich Combo. My favorite sandwiches I've tried there so far: 1) Pastrami 2) Peanut Butter & Honey The reason I'm only giving 4 instead of 5 stars would be their wait time is a tad bit long. That and their prices are a little high, just like Whole Foods. Yes I know I could make the salad a lot cheaper at home...but I don't mind paying a little extra for the convenience and variety of ingredients they have. read more

Aloha Salads - Kamuela Cobb Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It's nice to see fast food places that are offering healthier options. Eternally on some sort of diet, I do actually try to avoid the fried chicken sometimes and get a light meal. My advice: skip the salads, and go for the sandwiches. The salads and dressings I've had there are pretty uninteresting or just didn't work. The sandwiches, on the other hand, were delicious. The caprese and the veggie sandwiches were substantial and had great flavor. read more

Four stars for TOMATO BISQUE SOUP bc it's seriously delicious. They put some fresh basil and Parmesan cheese and it's so yummy. For some reason my husband didn't tell me about this awesome soup discovery until this past year. And then one day we go and he's like this place has the best soup. And I'm like whatever it's soup but he was right! It's awesome. Anyhow yeah it's kinda expensive. Today had small soup, salad, water and potato chips and it was 15. Didn't need the chips bc forgot they give u half a nice chewy pita. But I don't care. I love that soup. Little spicy. Little creamy. Little salty. Cheese melty. Mm mm. Service was good today. No line. Gentleman at the counter super friendly and helpful and made suggestions. read more

Aloha Salads is somewhere my boyfriend and I go when we want/need a refreshing salad. I'm a vegetarian, and I get the satan chicken (vegan) which tastes amazing and is a great addition to their To Kale For Salad. You can count on their ingredients to be fresh and they have meat options also. read more

I asked if the Thai peanut salad dressing was hot (spicy), and the lady let me try it. I decided it was too spicy for me. Then I asked her if the Greek Goddess salad came with chicken. She said yes. So I asked for a Greek Goddess salad. What she made was a Thai peanut salad w/chicken and Greek Goddess salad dressing, not the actual Greek Goddess salad. At that point, I had gotten a table and I didn't think it was worth it to point out our miscommunication, so I ate it. It was fine and tasted fresh. read more
