I recently left Piha Aloha a 5 star review. And I still really do enjoy their food, but I didn't…read morehave a great overall experience with them today (12/22/2025) . The worker at the register was rude. In the middle of me ordering, she interrupted me and yelled out someone's name to say their order was ready. A friend of mine also ordered from Piha Aloha today because of my recommendation, and the worker was rude to them as well. I also asked for a side of poke since I've gotten that here before (as pictured in my last review from a month ago), but I was told they don't do that and that a half-pound ($14) of poke was the only option. I was okay with that and ordered it, but I thought the inconsistency of their offerings was strange. The steak bites I got today were another letdown. They were very tough to chew (way worse than the last time we ordered them). Lastly, they didn't have receipts. I asked for one and was told they ran out of receipt paper. There was no option to have it texted or emailed as well. They didn't have receipt paper last time and I brushed it off, but the fact that they still don't have it a month later is a little frustrating. I really do love this restaurant and I'm sure I'll return for their delicious poke and BBQ chicken. But my overall experience today was less than satisfactory.

I am gonna say it, it's the most authentic, Hawaiian fare I've had off the island so far. We were…read morestationed on Oahu for three years, and there are two things that once you leave the island, you'll be scarred forever, like pineapple and poke (pronounced poe-kay). Since moving off the island, we have tried the so called "poke" shops in our next duty stations in Savannah and now here in Coastal VA, in the hopes of finding the real thing, but no. Every time, just end up sad. Until now....I first came across Piha Aloha at the Mabuhay Fest at Farmhouse Brewing Co. last November. Then, I saw them again at the Ube Fest last weekend and made my entire crew make a sharp turn into the area they were set up in. - Ono grinds (delicious eats in Hawaiian pigeon English) - Mabuhay Fest: Poke - the tuna is cut in the more traditional size (poke tends to have bigger chunks of tuna, rather than the mince cut that most poke/sushi places use). The fish was fresh, seasoned well and just delicious with the simplicity of ingredients. Poke nachos - The poke is the same from previous description, just on top of nacho chips and topped with their creamy sauce. Also delicious! Kalua nachos - Their kalua pig on top of nacho chips and also topped with their creamy sauce. Delicious. Ginutan (sp?) - This is, I believe, Filipino, it's in a warm sweet and creamy "broth" with chunks of plantain and I think it was tapioca? I can't remember all the components that was in the "soup", but it's a dessert and I really liked it. Ube Fest Ube ginutan - I want to start with this dish in this section, since I don't want to end an awesome review on a not-so-good note. This was supposed to be their feature ube dish since it was an ube fest, but I'm not sure what happened, but the "broth/soup" coagulated and it was not really that pleasant to eat. The mochi was super soggy in it and there wasn't much of an ube taste. The color was just really a bright purple and for $8, I thought it was a bit pricey. I definitely prefer their OG ginutan flavor as described previously. Combo poke, kalua pig and lomi salmon plate - this is a generous helping of the three. My crew loved the kalua pork especially! It was cooked really well, with that nice smokey flavor. The lomi salmon was the only one that was just ok, but I think I wasn't too crazy about this dish when I was in Hawaii anyway. I'm pretty sure it was raw salmon in Hawaii, but Piha Aloha cooks theirs. Chicken BBQ plate - This is the typical Hawaiian plate lunch: BBQ chicken, mac salad and rice, sprinkled with some furikake. Just great! Spam musubis - My kids devoured these. The musubis transported us back to our island days when we would buy a bunch of musubis from the corner store and bring them on hikes or to eat on the beach. Melon drink - My oldest inhaled this one AND my friend's drink. This reminds me of an agua fresca, but Filipino-style. It's basically cantaloupe juice, diluted with water and sugar and they added shreds of cantaloupe in it. It's super refreshing! Overall, if you want real Hawaiian food, chase down this truck! They are so friendly and the food is amazing! Mahalo, Piha Aloha Ohana! I appreciate you sharing your aloha through your ono grinds throughout CoVA! Enjoy, Friends and never stop exploring!

The lady was very nice and threw in the lumpia right when I ordered so all I thought was fresh! Buffet style menu with small buffet bar. I asked for steamed rice combo and got pancit. Recommend you check your order before you go. The adobo was good but that was it. I didn't even want the pancit just looking at it and when I arrived at home I had enuf pancit to feed 3 people.

This little spot punches well above its weight, pulling in Filipino food enthusiasts from as far as the DC area. If you've never tried Filipino cuisine, it's a great place to start.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It was some of the most delicious, authentic, and genuinely fresh food I've had in a long time. My work bestie is Filipino and she was the one who ordered it, and she gave it a glowing endorsement before we even opened the containers -- and she was absolutely right. This wasn't "good for catering" food. This was just flat-out excellent food. They packed the trays to the brim, no skimping, no empty corners, just generous portions across the board. The flavors were bold, balanced, and clearly made with care. Everything tasted homemade in the best way, like someone's auntie was in the back kitchen making sure it was done right. The meats were tender, the sides were flavorful, and nothing was dried out or bland. Even people who had never had Filipino food before were going back for seconds. They also gave us plenty of condiments without us even having to ask, which sounds small but makes a big difference. No scrambling, no rationing, no awkward "do we have enough sauce?" moments. They thought ahead and it showed. If you're in Suffolk and even remotely considering Kusina, do it. Whether you're Filipino and missing home flavors or completely new to the cuisine, this place delivers quality, authenticity, and generosity. It's now permanently on my "order again" list and I will absolutely be recommending it every chance I get.

Since then, my family and I have been back a few times. The concept is creative, and the quality is definitely there. The lumpia is fresh, crispy, and well-made, and I appreciate the variety they offer. It's a fun way to experience different flavor combinations and put a unique spin on a Filipino classic. That said, while I enjoy many of the specialty flavors, I still find myself preferring traditional lumpia. That's more a matter of personal taste than a criticism of the food itself. The fusion flavors are good and worth trying, especially if you're looking for something different. The staff has always been friendly, and the overall experience has been positive every time we've visited. If you're a lumpia fan, it's definitely worth checking out. Even if you end up like me and still prefer the original, you'll probably find a few new favorites along the way.

While we were there, my dad and I were looking for something to eat and came across Flippin Hangry. The employees were friendly, and the service was quick we didn't have to wait long for our food at all. With the sound of the bat cracking against the ball and the crowd cheering in the background, Flippin Hangry had a great atmosphere. I ordered the chicken adobo empanadas, and they were absolutely delicious. Next time I go to the park, I'm looking forward to trying some of the other items on their menu.

I tried out the caldereta and the mechado (?). I liked both items but I found it too oily for my liking. The vegetables were stewed perfectly and the meat texture were nice and tender. I think had I visited earlier in the day, it may have had a less oily texture to it. The accompanying soup was super sour but acted as a perfect palate cleanser after the oily meals. The service was excellent-- friendly, patient, and helpful. You can pick and choose different entrees over rice or pancit. Similar to getting food from Panda Express. The inside of the restaurant has several family friendly seatings available and baked goods and market also. Lastly, parking is free and plentiful right across from the front entrance. If an out of area Filipino asked for a good place to eat, I wouldn't hesitate recommending them. I certainly wouldn't mind revisiting again in the future.

We also bought a big container of sisig to go, which we had for dinner and we absolutely love it!!! I'd say Fiesta Kainan is our new fave go to for quick Filipino meals.

I came to the store for red Thai chilis because 2 other Asian markets did not have them this morning. They have large bags of red Thai chilis in the freezer and that was more than what I was expecting! I cook with a large amount of Thai chilis so that large bag that was reasonably priced was a pleasant surprise. While checking out I noticed there was a tray of bao (pork) laid on the counter. I bought 2 of them for the road. In the car, I busted into the bao and gave it a try solo dolo and they were delicious! I usually wait until I get home to eat them with dumpling sauce but there was no need for that with the bao at this location! Strongly recommended!!

This store was not at all what I expected it to be. I thought there would be a display of…read moreavailable bakery goods to choose from. Instead it was a Filipino bodega with a few aisles of grocery products, a cooler with frozen food flanking one side, a window at the back to order hot foods & a table at the front for sitting or eating. With respect to bakery goods, there was one almost empty stand at the front of an aisle with a few bags of Pan de Coco. I had called the night before & asked about Ube Purple Bread. She said that she was baking more the following day & would save a bag for me. What they brought out was a bag of 6 rolls with an Ube filling inside. It was tasty but not purple bread. My friend asked about Pandesal. They brought a bag from the back that were larger rolls. She should have asked for Ube Pandesal. These were tasty & soft. But they had no Ube filling inside & were more like a large dinner roll. It would have been nice to see what we were buying before the purchase. Asking if they had a menu, I was told that they eventually would. She was still trying to decide what to put on the menu. I'm not sure I'll return until choices are available. And please, give us a display of the baked goods. Even putting them bagged in the almost empty display stand would help. The store is in a shopping center on the west side of E. Little Creek Road. It is easily accessible for those of us who live in the Shore Drive corridor. The outside is tasteful & well maintained. The inside is definitely a bodega feel.
