“Came here with my coworker. She recommended this place and we finally stoped by. She’s regular since when she was young. She talked about this place a lot.

Oh man, this sandwich was best I ever had. Everything was delicious and can’t wait until I go there again.

The price is high but you pay for quality. This is hidden gem in Salinas.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by the food. The menu offered a wide variety of items I hadn’t seen before, and the orange chicken was truly unique, and my wife loved the stuffed eggplant. While the presentation could have been better, the clean, open atmosphere more than made up for it. The restrooms were spotless, and the tables were so clean you could practically eat off them. Another standout detail was that both the water and ice were filtered—a small touch that speaks volumes about quality. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back.“

“First time customer and the food was excellent. I got the Chicken Combo which comes with Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and Chicken Katsu, rice and macaroni salad. Everything was delicious, especially the chicken katsu. Staff was friendly and got my food rather quickly. The decor was pretty plain, but that didn't bother me much...maybe play some Hawaiian music to give it some more atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back and with the rest of the family.“

“If you have the pleasure of meeting Kevin and his family you’re in for a treat. Best Tri Tip in town. Good music Amazing wine. Highly recommend“

“**Aloha Hawaiian BBQ Review**

We stumbled upon Aloha Hawaiian BBQ by accident. We usually place orders for pickup from another Hawaiian BBQ restaurant in Salinas but, in a rush, we placed our order at Aloha instead. I didn't realize the mix-up until it was time to pick up our food and noticed the reviews while entering the address on Google Maps. My heart sank, as the reviews were significantly lower than other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants we frequent.

Long story short, we had our food and were thrilled! I don't understand why this restaurant has negative reviews for their food quality. Unlike many other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, Aloha's food isn't overly sweet. The mac salad nicely seasoned, the chicken katsu sauce was savory with good consistency, and the chicken katsu and musubi were perfectly prepared, portions

The portions were good, providing great value for the price. I've been to a lot of Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, both on the mainland and in Hawaii, and this place is excellent. The savory flavors really stood out and made for an exceptional meal. We will definitely be returning to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. Highly recommended!“
