  • Las Vegas is a melting pot of food throughout the world. In this melting pot, the delicious food of Hawaii is represented in several Hawaiin BBQ restaurants from Boulder City at the southeast to the Mount Charleston turnoff in the northwest. Fortunately, the majority of the people living here live close to a Hawaiian restaurant. I am one of those people. Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is close to my home and place of work. After a hard day's work there have been a few times that I stopped here to recuperate with the taste of a Hawaiian plate lunch. In contrast to the mesmerizing scenery of a tranquil beach in Hawaii, Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is ordinary scenery. It is a hole in the wall restaurant that blends in with a 7-Eleven and Roberto's Taco Shop at the northwest corner of Sunset and Pecos Roads. It is a hole in the wall place that falls short of the dining atmosphere in the nearby Ross J's but makes up for it in convenience and value. Where Ross J's further east on Sunset Road has often been mobbed, this Aloha Hawaiian BBQ has always been convenient. When I have visited this establishment in the early afternoon there has never been a line. At the same time their has always been a pleasant employee welcoming me to the restaurant. On the yellow wall to the left there has been a large menu to welcome me. It is a familiar menu that reminds me of L&L Barbecue. The dining room itself looks like both an L&L Barbecue and a Chinese take out. What differentiates the dining room from an L&L is the giant Hawaiian shirt on the wall. This is an attention grabber that has made it on several Yelp pictures of this business. My meal of choice has been the mini portion of the Hawaiian BBQ chicken. At $6.59 before tax it includes either white or brown rice with macaroni salad. The menu boasts that this is one of their best selling items. At this juncture I must mention that Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is one of the few Hawaiian BBQ restaurants that I am cognizant of that provides a choice of either white or white rice. With the mini plate lunch, I add a regular Coke for a $1.50 which after tax brings the total to $8.64. After paying, I will saunter a few feet from the counter to the Coca-Cola fountain to fill up my styrofoam cup with my favorite drink in the World: strawberry soda. The gap between ordering and seeing it has been a few minutes. The fact that they have the air conditioning running and a fan makes the wait bearable during the hot days of summer. The food is an example of quality equals quantity. They give you so much food for a so-called mini portion. When I look at the large pieces of the grilled boneless and skinless chicken that is marinated in their own BBQ sauce, I think out loud, "Aloha to all this food. How much food would be in the large plate lunch?" My tradition is to compliment the flavor by walking to the condiment station where I will pour Sriracha sauce over the chicken and soy sauce. I will save the best for last: the macaroni salad. The Aloha mini BBQ plate lunch with a Coke is great value served in a convenient setting. Regardless that Aloha Hawaiian BBQ falls short of the dining environments in some Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, it makes up for it with quality and quantity. ****************** Post Review Tip: Sunrise Coffee is a short distance west on Sunset Road.
