| - Aloha Kitchen is a hole in the wall restaurant offering Hawaiian Filipino comfort food. Food is greasy and filling (isn't comfort food usually that?). This location is located in a strip mall with the university theater (doesn't look like they are currently in business) and a vape store. But don't let the run down area discourage you because the food here is wonderfully tasty and quite cheap.
Anyways, my husband and I stopped by here this past Saturday evening around 8:25 pm and made a to go order. This place was nearly empty with the exception of 2 small tables. While we waited for our order to be made, we saw a handful of people come in to pick u their to go orders. We only waited maybe 15 minutes. This is what we ordered:
Mahi Mahi & Katsu Combination Plate, $7.99 prior to tax- The katsu served is chicken. This combination meal comes with 2 large pieces of Mahi Mahi (white fish) and many tender pieces of chicken katsu. Also included is 2 scoops of white rice and a small side of macaroni salad, which was good and creamy. I didn't like Mahi Mahi that much because it was bland. It was coated in egg and fried. I think there should be added seasoning to this (but the tartar sauce, on the side, that comes with the fish helped). With the generous portions, this meal was made into two.
Mix Plate, $7.99 prior to tax- This combination plate comes with Mahi Mahi, teriyaki beef & teriyaki chicken (2 scoops of rice and macaroni salad too). My husband was not a fan of the fish as well and agreed that it was rather bland. Both the chicken and beef were good but it would have been nice to have the chicken or the beef cooked differently (maybe swap out the teriyaki chicken for chicken katsu or something) to really give more variety to this meal. My husband (I had a few bites) ate this whole meal and felt pretty full afterwards. Just like the portions of my meal, this was pretty large as well (which could have made for 2 meals too).

(Total= $17.27, includes tax)
After we placed our order at the register, immediately the cook in the back got to work with our food (love that it was made to order and not just waiting around, ready to scoop into a styrofoam to go box). They also have sriracha available if you want some with your to go order (just have to ask for hot sauce, which is the famous brand, Huy Fong, in case you wanted to know.. not that it matters to me because I don't like spicy foods).
Wait time for our food wasn't too long and food was pretty good. It was pretty cheap and filling. We will definitely make sure to stop here again the next time we visit Las Vegas.
By the way, there is free (unprotected) WiFi and they do not take anything larger than a $20 bill (they also take credit card if you didn't bring cash).
