Aloha Hawaiian Kitchen

The Write-Up

The full story

A laid-back island counter near the airport serving the plate lunch guests call the best Hawaiian food on the mainland. The Aloha Special stacks crispy pork belly, ono shrimp, and mochiko chicken over rice, with huli huli chicken, loco moco, spam musubi, and a mac salad guests single out. Save room for Alohasadas, filled doughnuts in ube, haupia, and pandan.
