| - When I first saw this place on Yelp, it looked a little iffy that it didn't exist. Back then it said "Touch Of Aloha". Then later name changed to "House Of Aloha" to me it didn't matter until Aunty over there told me the story and you know what "House Of Aloha" is mo bettah anyway. Reason being is the story behind it and what Aunty and Uncle had to go through to get to where they're at now.
It's a little hidden and you'll last it if you're not really looking for it but eh it's ok cuz it's still awesome. The location doesn't make the spot, it's the food and customer service that makes the spot.
As I walked up to the door there was a display board like a black board with different color letting showing the current days specials. Definitely brought back that plate lunch spot feeling to my stomach. And all of us from Hawaii know that feeling. And you can't get that from no LnL out here lol.
I walk in and was immediately greeted with that Aloha spirit. I guess we all just know if you from Hawaii the moke Hawaiian comes out lol
I ordered dozen pork hash, half dozen manapua, 6 pastele, and Large Chow Fun. 4 items that you can't get any where else.
I had to wait like 20 minutes for some fresh pork hash but braaaaahhhh, I'm glad I did. Aunty let me sample the one that was sitting for little while and this buggah was so good. Nice and meaty just like how pork hash supposed to taste. Then she says, wait till you try it fresh lol..well, she wasn't lying at all..these bad boys taste amazing fresh.
The manapua bread is so damn soft. Like really really soft. Better than Libby and chun wah kam. It's not like cardboard or crumby. It holds perfect and it's the right ratio to char siu inside..I'm eating these as I'm making this review lol.
Haven't tried the pastele yet because I bought it frozen so gotta take it home and steam it. But the pasteles are huuuuge lol. And uncle said one puerto rican made it sooooo you know it was made great and with TLC.
The Chow fun taste exactly like how I remembered from back home.
Lemme tell you, you will not, I REPEAT YOU WILL NOT be disappointed. If you want some island food like how you remembered from Hawaii and wanna feel like you're in Hawaii again, head on over to "HOUSE OF ALOHA" and meet the family over there. You'll leave with a full stomach, smile on your face and new friends..
