It has been a minute since I last came by. It looks like there have been some aesthetic upgrades since many last visit. The menu is now displayed on several flat screen TV'S. The seating is nicely furnished and the staff is friendly and welcoming as always.
Not sure if they still hold karaoke events nightly here, but, it is definitely a popular spot for some plate lunch grinds.
As you may or may not be aware of...there is a high amount of Islanders in Las Vegas. This translates into a high amount of Hawaiian style eateries. In my humble opinion, Aloha Kitchen does not "wow" me much with their menu. They are mediocre at best with their staples. However, where Aloha Kitchen makes up for this, is with menu items that can't be found everywhere.
For instance, just the name of adobo friend rice instantly turns you into a rubber necker doing double takes. It's difficult to choose anything else unless you tried it for the first time. Not bad, but not special, although, no other place serves this to my knowledge.
I hope the avid Aloha kitchen heads don't take offense to my review, but simply put, I have had better. Ross J's don't necessarily tickle my pickle and and L&L's doesn't quite float my boat in this respect either.
Hands down...I have to roll with Big Island Flavor with a close tie by Island Style, Rice Tracks & Ohana's. If Hawaiian Hale still existed, they would be near the top indeed.
It's all about preference, and I tend to judge a lot on particular aspects such as mac salad and so forth. You can bet if I get the itch for the homeland grinds, AK was still be considered.
