| - I visited Aloha Kitchen on my lunch break 2 days ago (05/09). I called ahead of time, placed an order over the phone for to-go and was told it would take 15-20 minutes. Pretty decent timing for a lunch hour. I showed up in about 10 minutes and decided to wait in-store since it was fairly hot that day, and it came out 5 min later. Again, timing was good. The restaurant is clean, there are a bunch of friendly faces on the staff (they didn't look like they hated their job), and there is a water tray sitting in the corner for you to grab your own at if you don't want to indulge on sugary drinks.
Food: I ordered the mix plate, which online says it is a combination of chicken teriyaki, beef, and mahi-mahi. When I opened up the box of food at work, it was chicken teriyaki, mahi-mahi, and PORK. Not sure where the communication went wrong over the phone but I read exactly what was listed on YOUR menu. If it has changed since what your website says then you should update it for your customers who don't have time to sit in restaurants for lunch so they order what they want. I don't eat pork, so that got wasted but everything else was pretty good. Also, I saw many reviews talking about how delicious the macaroni salad is so I was excited for that. Not so excited when I ate it though. It tasted like rotten mayonnaise. I definitely couldn't finish that. I am unsure where the reviewers got the idea that it was delicious at but it literally tasted how a dirty garbage disposal smells. It was awful.
Is this going to be my first choice in food next time? No. Would I return? Yes maybe but would be passing on the mac salad and making sure I am ordering the right item since their online menu is inaccurate. I don't enjoy paying $9.50 for a meal that is only going to be eaten 60% of the way.
