Aloha Grill — Restaurant in Renton

Aloha to good Hawaiian food in the Renton area! This place has got all the classic Hawaiian comfort foods at a reasonable price. I tried the mochiko chicken but I’d like to come back and try all the other items on the menu.

Food Mochiko chicken is one of my favorite ways of eating chicken and I always get it to gauge a Hawaiian restaurant. The chicken was juicy and in the perfect bite size. The outside was just a bit crispy, but personally I like it super crispy. I really liked the Mac salad though because it was not smothered in sauce and had good flavor to it still. There’s a nice sauce area where you can put on as much other sauces like spicy mayo.

Atmosphere Casual and laid back. There’s some nice wall art of the Hawaiian islands and there’s also outdoor seating for when it gets warmer outside.

Pricing Reasonable and cheap prices for Hawaiian food compared to other restaurants that serve Hawaiian food.

Service Self service here so you’ll have to bus your own tables, get your own water, and silverware. The staff here is super friendly and checked in on me halfway thru eating even. I didn’t expect it but it was nice.

Other Plenty of parking in front of this strip mall and is shared with other restaurants. And it’s...

I asked specifically if they have a combo with Katsu chicken and ribs. She said yes the Aloha grill mix. So I ordered the most expensive combo on the menu and waited and waited, when it finally arrived it was teriyaki beef teriyaki chicken and one pathetic piece of ribs! When I went over our conversation with her she just shrugged and walked away! I can't stomach teriyaki, that's why I didn't order all that teriyaki and asked ahead of time. This is B.S. After a while (after I asked and ordered, after we revisited that conversation, after pointing out what I wanted and was told I was getting--she finally acknowledged that i didn't want what she gave me, then had the Gaul to say "..what do you want? Chicken?" Huh? Just huh? How many times does a customer have to say what they are looking for before you understand? And by that point I honestly was afraid that they were going to spit in my food so I demanded a box took my one scoop of macaroni salad, two scoops of rice and pathetic piece of rib meat and left. I did consider throwing the plate--but hoped they would just make it...

Chantilly cake. One star will suffice as their service has gone downhill and their portions have gotten smaller, but I'm thankful for the discovery of Cakes of Paradise's (Georgetown bakery) chantilly cake. They sell them by the slice at this location, but I refuse to go here any longer due to a very bizarre experience that led me to believe that there is some kind of cake conspiracy going on. It seems as though employees tend to buy out the cake and whatever is left over gets sold to the public. That's cool and all, but don't tell me to come at a certain time, still not have it cut by the "cakemaster" (Cakes of Paradise distributes slices all over WA state), then have no containers to put it in, AND THEN magically have the containers. Like seriously, I didn't even eat it because of all of the lies and runaround. SO BIZARRE! All for cake. I mean, it is probably near the top of best cakes that I've ever had, but go to the source. Cakes by Paradise. It's cheaper. If that's too far, go to Saimin Says down the street. They get the slices too. Plus, the...
