Wanted to like it. A little disappointing that fried rice was so oily. Dim sum was ok, though I had better elsewhere. Good for a quick meal.
The food is wonderful and served in a reasonable time.
First time here. Dim sum basket style, so shumai and pork hash comes in count of 3 -4pcs. I ordered pork hash 4pcs, shrimp shumai 3pcs, 1 each steamed and baked manapuas. Pork hash was bit salty (mentioned in other reviews). Shumai is very good. And both manapuas are too sweet (not a sweet fan), probably bc same filling, but the dough flavors and filling ratio are perfect on both.👍 Price is great at per basket of price $6.38 and manapua at $3 per piece. Service experience great,...read full review

Aloha Manapua Aiea is located in Waimano Shopping Center. The restaurant offers dim sum basket style, with shumai and pork hash coming in counts of 3-4 pieces. The menu includes original favorites and a variety of manapua, along with specials laid out on the counter by the order window and in flyers on the walls. The pork hash was a bit salty, while the shumai is very good. Both steamed and baked manapuas are too sweet, but the dough flavors and filling ratio are perfect on both. The fishcake with sweetcorn was interesting, with soft fishcake and a good amount of corn, light in flavors. The bean curd roll was cooked nice and tender, with a good filling that did not fall apart. The boneless roast duck cake noodle featured a large nice piece of cake noodle with sauce served separately, keeping the cake noodle crunchy until eaten. The roast duck was boneless slices of meat, a little dry but with good flavor. The mini BBQ chicken had a good taste on a bed of a good amount of cabbage, though the dark, thick sauce was salty. The fried ginger chicken was very well received, with a lovely gingery sauce paired with a crispy texture. The beef chow fun was dry in the best way, keeping the noodles from becoming goopy and sticking together. The steamed white rice had the perfect texture. Everything was reasonably priced and delicious, and the service was great. Parking is available but fills up around lunch and dinner time. The restaurant has an AC dine-in room that is clean and cool, with outside seating and a walk-up window. Utensils including fork, chopsticks and a knife are provided.
