I COME HERE FOR THE BEEF SHORTRIBS! It's so tender yet, charred to perfection and juicy, overall FLAVOR TOWN! A friend referred me here during the Pandemic, so anytime I've come it's always to-go only so can't really give a thought on the ambiance, service is always on point the kindest cashiers. I usually order the Kal B Combo with the Chicken and beef, sub for fried rice and extra scoop of Mac salad. The portions are amazing! The chicken is also charred to perfection a bit in the dry side but still bussin'. The only downside is their hours are very unique, but that could be an upside for them too QUALITY/QUANTITY. I actually found a foot in my plate once here.

Great spot for loco moco in the Arts District! Actually, pretty hard to go wrong with anything on their menu. It is Take-Out only!!

I found Aloha Cafe through an article on the LA Rams website that spotlighted small businesses in the area. The backstory is very rich, with the cafe originally being founded by a Hawaiian man and eventually (after some years) being co-owned by him and a prior employee. The food definitely tastes like the kind of food that has lasted and been perfected over decades. Prices are relatively reasonable and the loco moco comes with generous spoonfuls of gravy. So happy I found this place a few years ago!

Don't remember how I heard about this place, but I'm sure I didn't read that it's a to go place only. Which is kind of confusing because it occupies a full restaurant location with tables and chairs. The person who took my order said they mostly do catering. I did order the loco moco. As you can see by the picture it was drenched in the gravy. Really, more like a 3.5, but I rounded up. Not someplace I'd be going back to.

If you are craving a good Loco Moco, this is your Spot. This was my first time coming, this is a togo place only. The beef patty was huge and very well seasoned, it's not a frozen hamburger patty. The gravy was perfectly seasoned and rich in flavor. Mac Salad was a mixture with potato salad which was a nice twist. Looking forward to trying other items on menu. They accept card and open for very random hours. Service staff was very friendly, go check them out!

Aloha Cafe is great. Currently, they're only open for take out and catering. I've ordered from them many times, including catering orders for my bday parties.

I Aloha Cafe! This place has the most fresh and delicious Hawaiian food that will make your senses begging for more. I first discovered this place a year or so ago (thanks to Yelp!) after craving Hawaiian food. One visit turned into two which turned into many more. I even had them cater a party for me which was incredible!. My favorites are the Kal B Chicken and Mac salad. Omg! I could eat an endless amount of both especially when some hot mustard is added to the party. The Kalua Pork (according to my partner who is a pork eater) is delicious--just the right amount of saltiness and flavor! Other food options that I think are only available via catering that I highly and I mean highly recommend getting include spring rolls (oh I was devouring those throughout the party as if they were candy...yummy!), passion fruit bars (please don't let any of my guests know that I actually had a hidden stash in the fridge because I wanted to make sure I had some. They were bomb!), and their homemade POG juice (MUST have! Because they make this in house, I was able to get it with less sugar so that the little ones could have some). This place is legit and incredible! Lastly the service...where to begin. There are not enough words to state how amazing the people are at Aloha. Ceejay and Jennifer made the catering process an absolute pleasure. Majority of the communications were via email which was great for me as I am super busy during the day so I was only able to respond back late at night or during off hours. They always got back to me in a prompt manner and were super friendly and helpful. I had a couple questions about the menu, and I was able to chat with Jennifer over the phone. On the day of the party, Jennifer arrived on time with the food. She even added a salad because she thought it was needed to balance out the menu. In the times we are living, no other business would have done that--just add something to the menu for free. Omg! I was so touched. It's just shows how special Aloha Cafe is. They truly want to provide the best service to their customers, and I am super appreciative for all they did food-wise to make the party a fabulous one. All of the guests (even the pickiest of eaters) were devouring the food. They couldn't get enough. I initially purchased way more so that I could have leftovers. By the end of the party, there was only a little left because my guests couldn't get enough. From food to service, Aloha is in a league above others! The quality of the food and the care from those who work there are incredible! They will forever be my go-to place for Hawaiian food, especially when I need catering for a party! Thank you, Aloha!

My friends who are downtown and used to live in Hawaii order from these guys all the time, because it's so good! We ordered a Chinese Chicken Salad to go for four people. They gave us plenty and we had lots left over. They aren't stingy with the dressing or anything else, it was all good! You can dine in or take out. The seating inside is really nice, and the staff is awesome, too! They validate parking. For Hawaiian-style food, say Aloha to this Cafe'! Oh yeah, I received a free soda with my lunch when I checked in on Yelp. Love it!
