Little Aloha - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the delicious Shrimp plate, and I absolutely loved it. I opted for the half plate, which was a perfect portion for a snack before dinner. The shaved ice was also amazing, very comparable to what I had on the island. The Snow Cap on it is a MUST! Thanks, guys.

My experience at this little shop was very positive. I enjoyed the tasty Hawaiian plates, with the garlic shrimp being good, but the grilled pineapple sausage was truly the star of the show. I appreciated the option to get half orders, which are a great lunch size. I'm looking forward to returning to try the shave ice. The location is very convenient, with an L stop right outside. While there's no indoor seating, you can enjoy your food on the benches at McCoppin Square.

My experience at the restaurant was legitimately good. The ice was shaved extremely fine and they didn't skimp on the flavor. I'm looking forward to going back. I also love that they take extra care to be gluten-free, and that's prominently displayed.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I tried the Spam Musubi and it was excellent. They offer so many delicious looking snacks, I wish I could try them all. The food, service, and atmosphere were all rated a perfect 5, making for a truly enjoyable dinner.

I drove by and saw a long line for their shaved ice on a hot day, so I placed an order online for pickup once I parked, expecting it to be ready in 15 minutes. It's great that they use technology to save me time waiting in line. I ordered a couple of spam musubis with kimchi, loaded hurricane tots, and the "full" order of half garlic shrimp and half sausage. For $16, I wouldn't call that a "full" order. I understand shrinkflation, but I recently purchased a dozen jumbo garlic shrimp from Giovanni's Shrimp and other shrimp boat captains on the islands where staples are more expensive than the mainland – you can get a dozen jumbo garlic shrimp for $15. It blows my mind that here in this little hole in the wall with no dine-in option, you barely get 4 shrimp and 5 little slices of sausage in their "full" order (which equates to maybe half a sausage) for $16. They act like they are using carabineros shrimp or something. You can spare me the cheap fillers of white rice and sad cabbage that fill out the plate, but this is not a "full" size order and what I expect in a half-order amount. The flavors were decent, reminiscent of some of those aforementioned shrimp trucks, but I'm not digging the price gouge here. The hurricane tots and musubis were nice snacks and about market price. The spam musubis reminded me of the same ones purchased at 7/11's on the islands. I'm not sure there is enough aloha in Little Aloha to draw me back for return visits. Make sure you ask for napkins and utensils if you need them.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant and highly recommend trying it. The shaved ice was superb, featuring a generous portion size and the perfect level of sweetness. I also enjoyed the spam kimchi musubi; it was expertly portioned, making it easy to eat without the ingredients falling apart.

My family and I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The people were incredibly friendly, making us feel very welcome. The shave ice was a standout, truly transporting us to Hawaii with its delicious flavor and excellent extras like ube ice cream and li hing powder. We also thoroughly enjoyed the purple potato salad, which was delicious. We are already planning our return visit.

My experience was with a large shaved ice that was very flavorful and a delicious sweet treat. I appreciated the option to choose up to 3 flavors and add ice cream or other toppings. The service was fast and efficient, though ordering is done through a kiosk. There is a seating area outside.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the garlic shrimp, which was really good and saucy. It reminded me of a dish I had in Hawaii. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect score of 5.

I forgot to take photos of the food, but it was amazing. I ordered a small shaved ice with macadamia ice cream and a large order of spicy garlic shrimp. Everything was truly amazing. I can’t wait to come back!
