Aloha Cafe

I recently celebrated my anniversary at Aloha Cafe, and it was a memorable experience. The service was attentive and thoughtful; they even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to mark our special occasion. The food was a burst of Hawaiian flavors - the teriyaki steak and coconut shrimp were standouts. The ambiance was romantic, with dim lighting and a Hawaiian sunset mural that set the perfect mood. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate love. Mahalo!

Aloha Cafe is a true hidden gem that brings the flavors of the Hawaiian islands to Los Angeles. From the moment you step into this delightful eatery, you are greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly transports you to a tropical paradise. The menu at Aloha Cafe is a celebration of authentic Hawaiian cuisine, offering a delightful array of dishes that showcase the rich and vibrant flavors of the Pacific Islands. From traditional favorites to inventive creations, each plate is a culinary masterpiece that leaves you yearning for more.

Finding Aloha Cafe was a godsend for our wedding. Myy husband and I had dreamed of having Hawaiian mix plate food for our wedding. After some time searching we finally found Aloha Cafe and scheduled a tasting with Jennifer. The variety of dishes she offered were all delicious and exactly what we were looking for. Although AC couldn't offer full service catering, we hired them for our wedding appetizers (spam musubi!) and buffet food. The menu included green salad, mac salad, white rice, kalbi ribs, teriyaki salmon, and teriyaki chicken. I can't express enough how helpful and involved Jennifer was throughout the process. She was very generous and proactive in helping us source things like banana leaves, bamboo plates, utensils, bulk dry foods, etc. The banana leaves were a huge part of our wedding design (we laid them on the guest tables with the appetizers on top in an ode to Filipino style "kamayan.") Jennifer was mindful of our guests with dietary restrictions and created vegan mix plates and musubis for them. One of our guests couldn't have pork so she made a special chicken musubi just for her! She also took the time to ensure that everything was dropped off, set up, and served properly. Our guests enjoyed their meals, which was a different experience from regular wedding food. My only regret is not having eaten more! Aside from catering, the restaurant itself is top notch. Delicious food and amazing service. LA is lucky to have a gem that is Aloha Cafe!

Can we just talk about this Beyond Loco Moco Curry plate. O M G this was so good!! VEGANS!!! You have to check her out if you know what a Loco Moco is and you crave her. It's not always available so call before you go to make sure it's on the menu for that day. A regular Loco Moco is a hamburger patty, over easy egg, rice and brown gravy all over. Aloha Cafe uses a Beyond Burger, just eggs (vegan), veggie curry (the gravy is beef based) on top of some rice. I will definitely come back. I got it to-go and the brief encounter i had with their staff was very professional and friendly.

The Aloha Cafe is definitely worth a stop. We went at lunchtime on a Thursday, and were able to sit down immediately. The servers were fast in getting our orders, and on getting our drinks. I appreciated the attentiveness of the servers in making sure we were taken care of (read: drinks were full). The food was fantastic, and well worth the short wait.
