It took me a while to learn the name of the Poke Bowl my coworkers order and I love. FYI… its not the spicy Ahi as seen in one of the picture menus at $ 16. However after many repeated trips and after much trial and error and lots of pointing to pictures, the lady behind the register and I have come to a mutual understanding of what I want when I come in. The«Spicy Poke Bowl» EXTRA spicy… Please! $ 12 Karma is a bitch and all of the people I made fun of for not pronouncing Spanish words right… I’m sorry! I feel you now :) BTW buy the pickled mango… its good! And on special occasions when she has Tako Poke bowl… buy it too!

Saw this place was open while I was craving for a breakfast. Walked in checking out their menu, noticed 3 workers sitting on customer tables chatting away eating their breakfast. Saw a worker loading up their hot foods while I stood there just trying to understand what is going on. Tried getting someone’s attention because I was ready to buy something. Waited another 10 minutes… Workers still eating on the tables, old guy still loading up… Never acknowledged, stood there as if I was interrupting their breakfast time. Here’s a tip, you wanna eat your food, do your tasks, not sell anything, help any customers? LEAVEYOURDOORSCLOSEDFORBUSINESS. Hindsight, place looked nasty and unclean anyways. Place needs a REDCARD for sanitary purposes and stupidly rude beyond understanding customer service.

I havnt eaten at this place but i met the owners daughter in person. You can tell how a business is based on the people that run the place. I returned the owners purse i found in the parking lot and when she comes and pick up the bag, she accuses me of burglarizing her mothers apartment. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should have been grateful that i returned all of your moms IDs, CC, & check books and her cash that was in the bag. I could have easily thrown it away. You will never have me or people i know come to your business and support people like you! I will make it i known to everyone i know that your business should not be supported. Hope your business shuts down and you lose everything you have. You deserve to he punished. You are a stupid haole that many local people hate.

The host is great, but not the food and environment, and the price is the worst. I’d like to post NO star rating, if it is available.

We happened upon this place searching for a gas station near HNL. Big bright pictures to choose your sushi. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Got there early afternoon and found no wait. Don’t expect a restaurant with table service. They use a lot of rice as filler inside the rolls(rainbow, volcano, California). Probably won’t return but we are glad we went. My wife saw a few bugs which annoyed her. It’s an open-door kind of place so that’s inevitable.

I don’t write reviews too often but I decided that for this place, I would have to. I recently started working in the area and one day my co-worker came into the office with a Portuguese sausage egg n’ rice roll. My first reaction was, «abomination!» But day after day they continued to purchase the same roll. Finally, curiosity got the best of me and I tried it. Oh. My. Goodness. Maybe it’s because I’m Portuguese, maybe it’s because I’m also mixed Japanese, maybe it’s just because I’m all kine mixed up, but that roll was sooo ono. My advice if you’re here in the morning: give the roll a shot. It’s amazing!

I have always passed by Aloha Pantry and Sushi on the way to and from work. It is right on the corner of Ahua and Pukoloa next to L&L BBQ. Finally my curiousity brought me into this tiny sushi and bento shop after work last week. I would always see the OPEN sign at 6:30 in the morning and wonder why a restaurant would be open so early. The lady there told me that they open on weekdays at 4am(although the food is not ready until 4:30) and close at 6pm. On Saturday they open at 5am and close at 3pm. Sunday they are closed. It seems like they cater their hours to the warehouse workers in the area. It is a great lunch spot if you work nearby. She said that you can call in an order before hand and have your bento all ready for you when you pick it up. I ordered 4 rolls. I got a salmon roll, California roll, spicy ahi roll, and a beef roll. I was intrigued by the beef sushi so I had to order that one. My favorite was actually the California roll. It had mayo that made the roll extra rich. These rolls were all a little over $ 2 making my total close to $ 10. I felt that the rolls had too much rice. After I devoured my 4 rolls, I knocked out and slept until the next day. I literally slept for 12 hours straight. Granted I was physically tired, but all that rice didn’t help me stay awake one bit. Next time I might try one of their bento plates, which cost $ 11. Slightly on the pricey side in my opinion. Convenient location for some quick rolls if you are already in the Moanaloa Gardens /Fort Shafter /Airport /Salt Lake area. **Edit: I went a second time and tried some more of their rolls. The crab roll is similar to the California roll, just without the avocado. The chicken roll was actually really good. It came with a little mayo as well as the already flavored teri chicken. I love that they use mayo a lot in the rolls. **Breaking news! I asked if they gave military discount and she said she would start giving one from now on. So ask her for a military discount and she will give you 10% off! That bumps this review from 3 stars to 4 stars. So military guys and gals, thank me for your military discount! Haha.
