Aloha Grill Altus — Restaurant in Altus

I really wanted to be able to give this place a 5-star review. The menu looked great, and I was prepared to like what I ordered. It wasn't very good. I ordered a plate. First, the rice was terrible. Either they don't know how to properly cook rice, or it wasn't fresh. It tasted like day-old rice that had been taken out of the fridge and reheated.

Additionally, the mac salad being lukewarm and watery affected its freshness, and the overcooked rice was a disappointment. On a positive note, the teriyaki chicken had a lot of flavor, and the mango ice cream was absolutely delicious, receiving a solid 10/10 rating. It seems like the meal wasn't entirely satisfying, but it's great to hear that the teriyaki chicken and mango ice cream stood out...

No. But it's pretty good and gets the job done. The quality and freshness is better than just about everywhere in town. The fruit waters are so refreshing. Very grateful for the option and will...
