I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for this place! I have been coming to Aloha Specialties since I was a kid. My dad was born in Hawaii so we are always on the hunt for some good local food. Aloha Specialties is one of the must eats when my family or bf comes to Vegas.
I usually get the Garlic Chicken and Ahi Poke (when they have it). The garlic chicken is a pretty hefty plate with three breaded and fried chicken thighs slathered with brown gravy. I love anything with brown gravy and I like my dark meat. Like I said, a heavy meal... take a nap after eating this. The ahi poke is on the specials list and isn't always there. If you see it you should get it! Large hunks of fresh tuna and onion soaked in sesame oil and soy sauce goes great with a bowl of plain white rice. Better than sushi! It is always a bummer when they run out or don't have any poke. My brother is a big fan of their Loco Moco. Too much hamburger meat for me but he loves it. I usually get a fruit punch to wash it all down and complete my local style lunch or dinner.
The hours are kinda limited for a Vegas eatery... they close at 9pm or 10pm. Be safe and come for a yummy lunch. If you are still on the prowl for some good local food in the wee hours after dancing your butt off at a club, I would head downstairs to the 24 hour Market Street Cafe for some dang good Oxtail soup. The Cal has it all! Lotsa good food for a great price. If you have relatives from Hawaii like I do, you may run into them gambling the slots downstairs. Say hi to Auntie for me!
