So, here's the thing. If the portion sizes were 10% bigger, it would be a very solid place to eat.That being said, all our meals were flavorful, hot, and tasted fresh. There is the obvious island upcharge, but the prices seem mostly reasonable for what you get.Canned drinks are $2 which is more than fair.Most meals average $18pp which isn't outrageous.It's a small island. Food is expensive. Even grocery food is expensive.However, if you're looking for a low fuss, hot and tasty meal then this could be the place for you.Overall, we enjoyed it. As mentioned previously, it would be better if the portions were 10% bigger.Don't get the fries. Not worth it.

We really liked this place. The lady was nice. The lunch plates were very good. I got pulled pork sliders and cole slaw and it was great! The deserts were also great (the owner apparently used to own a bakery). Don’t go here if you’re expecting fine dining but if you’re looking for a solid kid friendly lunch place, our family was highly satisfied.

Such a friendly and amazing little place. I always love the food and love the atmosphere!

This place is delicious. Super friendly folks, food comes out super fast fresh and perfect. Within a block of the ferry, so easy to walk to

definitely one of the better restaurant here on this island!!! definitely will be making this my go to spot!

This is a family owned restaurant with a fun, relaxing atmosphere. The food was unique and tasty. It was a refreshing new flavor compared to all the other different options in downtown Friday Harbor.

We really liked the theme of the restaurant and the prices seemed reasonable. I think we liked the ribs best and the shrimp is okay. I appreciated that they had some gluten free menu

Food was pretty good. Wish I got more bbq and more rice. Wife loved the coconut shrimp but as another reviewer said, it has a lot of coconut flavor.

Aloha!!!! My personal Experience. As usual the ferries were running late. So it looked like dinner at the island was a must. We chose to eat at the Hawaiian spot. Since my friend had never been to Harbor Friday. She wanted to try a bunch of local spots. As we go in we ran into some friends. The lady at the register was very aggressive. I had never been there to eat. I asked my friends sitting to the left of the register, if they had any recommendations. And she seemed offended by my question. After ordering I asked just a few things, she started talking down to us. We noticed everyone at the table had a fancy glass of water litter. We requested if we could get a water as well she said there’s bottles available to grab. My friend, looked confused and said no worries. We grabbed a few of the drinks from the fridge. Not to mention we never received a receipt. Therefore, shortly after they kept calling order numbers from a window. Oops, we didn’t realize it was us. She came from behind the kitchen and yelled that she is too busy for us to be ignoring her call. My sarcasm wanted to kick in, so I just said oh how sorry we were for not realizing that she was calling us. She did not take lightly to it. And made us feel like we didn’t belong there. Mahalo lady. I liked the food. If I ever order again i will take it to go. I wasn’t sure how to order there. As I asked questions she made me feel uncomfortable to even have the audacity to ask, thus perhaps anyone has suggestion for future goers. Maybe it will be helpful. As a local I was thrown off by that. Over all Friday Harbor is an amazing spot! Sorry I was so bother I forgot to take a picture. The food is good. The atmosphere is good. The service was good the lady screaming she is probably under stress bring her flowers. She will appreciate it!

The food we got had rather unexpected flavors. I didn’t like the coconut shrimp very much, but those who love strong coconut flavors may enjoy it better. The kalbi short ribs also did not taste as good as I hoped. At least my husband’s fries are crispy and the burger is ok. Cute little place, fills up fast. We are lucky we didn’t have to wait to be seated.

We go to Aloha Friday Harbor every couple of weeks and really enjoy it. Kind staff, good food, reasonable prices (this is an island, people!).Hawaiian food like you'll find at small private diners in Hawaii. Not mainland pretend fancy Hawaiian food - authentic Hawaiian BBQ.I really like the BBQ chicken. Plenty of easy food for the kids. Great stuff.

Kid-friendliness: Easy place to bring little kids to. Not up tight, just casual.
