Food: Mediocre cuisine meets variety

Aloha Food Factory may not win awards for its culinary creativity with its usual menu, but one can stomach the mediocre tastes for the extremely generous servings and unbeatable price. All praises go to the mouth-watering macadamia nut pancakes and loco moco for their fluffiness and heartiness respectively. The dessert counter warrants the spotlight with their finely shaved ice topped with sweet cream.

  • Large Portions

    Generous servings across multiple reviews, very satisfying and hearty.

  • Okay Taste

    Good portion sizes and decent taste, but experience varied by dish.

  • Not Creative

    Menu filled with the usual suspects, lacking originality and creativity.

Vibe: Distressed decorating with uninspiring view

Despite Aloha Food Factory's cozy and homey ambiance that exudes a Hawaiian vibe, an encounter with its unattractive exterior, disruptive speaker, and limited drinks does a number on the overall dining experience. A candidate for expectations vs reality, this establishment ironically lacks the photogenic qualities sought by trendy diners.

  • Great Ambiance

    Feels cozy, homey, inviting; imparts true Hawaiian vibe and warmth.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Blown out speaker distracts from island tunes, diminishes experience.

Perks: Forget about parking and spacious seating

A pit stop at Aloha Food Factory feels less appealing with the difficulty of landing a parking place during peak times and mess of trying to squeeze into tight spaces. The minimal outdoor seating campaign falls apart at the sight of unshaded, uncomfortable seats. Calling large groups and families, muffling frustrations over the unchecked and slow service might be another daunting task.

  • Great For Diets

    Very considerate, made special accommodations for dietary limitations.

  • Okay To Park

    Some find parking sufficient, others criticize limited spots at peak times.

  • Bad Service

    Service pace inconsistent; sometimes slow and inattentive, causing frustration.
