This was my 3rd time coming to Aloha and it was actually packed. The other occasions not so much. They did offer reservations and since we didn't make one, our options were bar or outside. We took outside and the heaters worked great! The service was great and the food was amazing! The atmosphere is second to none with the beach view and amazing weather!

We sat in the beach view front room. Big beautiful windows there to see the ocean and sunset. On a cleae day like we had, you can see the coastal islands. Amazing how big they are. I had the Coconut Shrimp and a big baked potato. Other persons in my group had the Fish and chips and a big beautiful burger. The service was impeccable. Our server was on top of replenishing what we needed. Will we return? Most definitely. 10 out of 10 in my eyes.

I've eaten here twice already while I've been staying at Ventura Beach. The bartenders are so nice and the food is absolutely amazing! Well worth it!
The photo is of their Bistro Vegan Burger. The tempeh bacon mushrooms with the veggie burger is so delicious...highly recommend! 😋

Peter gave us exceptional service tonight. We came in with a large group last minute and the hostess was able to seat us. Peter had our group laughing and was very patient with our large party ordering. Food was very good and presented well. Highly recommend!

I travel to Ventura every January and always eat at Aloha Steakhouse. It has always been good but this year (January 2026) in particular stands out. I've never been to any restaurant where the entire group ordered and raved about the house salad! The food just improved from there. The Manager, Tim, was outstanding and when an issue was brought to his attention he handled it immediately. We literally ate there for 3 out of 4 dinners - it's that good.

Aloha Steakhouse has always been a special place for my family and friends to gather for important celebrations. The service is consistently excellent, and tonight our server, Beau, was truly exceptional while taking care of our large group. In this day and age, great service really means a lot, and Beau delivered it beautifully.

Expensive steak came back as overdone. Wift did not want to make it an issue so we did say anything. The restaurant was only about 5 percent capacity but the just had to sit us at a table off to the side....next to the emergency door. We arrived before another couple but they were taken care of first. Is it a innocent coincidence since we are not their preferred type of people?

We’re regulars at Aloha Steakhouse and went in for lunch during the Ventura Vegan Chef Challenge. This is their second year participating, and they really stepped up their game.
The vegan dishes felt intentional and thoughtfully created, not just meat swapped out for substitutes. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and stood on its own. None of us missed meat at all.
The cauliflower al pastor tacos with grilled pineapple were fantastic. Great balance of sweet and savory and really well cooked. The chorizo pesto pizza surprised us in the best way. The soy chorizo had a nice crispness, the flatbread had great texture, and the flavors worked beautifully together. The sweet and spicy tofu was another standout, especially the sauce, which had just the right amount of heat. Portions on all three dishes were generous.
We ended with the apple cake, which we absolutely loved. It was a big, warm slice with caramel sauce. The vanilla ice cream is made from coconut and tapioca. While I personally tend to prefer oat or cashew-based vegan ice creams, others at our table really enjoyed it.
Between the food, welcoming service, and relaxed atmosphere, this was a great experience. Kudos to the chef and team for embracing the challenge and creating vegan dishes that truly shine.
