LOVE this place! The seafood was so fresh, and all of the flavors were crafted perfectly. Tried the tsunami poke and tropical shrimp stacked. The young man at the counter was super helpful and accommodating to our dietary requests. And the owner was wonderful to us. We chatted for quite a while about our love of food, he gifted me a free coffee he made himself, and took the extra effort to remember my name.

The chef was very friendly and personable. He gave us a walk down of the menu. You can definitely tell he is very passionate about what he does I got the Hawaiian cowboy burger, bulgugi fries, and musubi. All of which was amazing.

This lately has been my go to spot working out at the Oceanfront. Tucked hidden away across from the BP gas station on Laskin Rd and Baltic is this gem of a restaurant. The menu has a good mix of Hawaiian favorites like loco moco, spam musubi, and poke. While also introducing a fusion of new favorites like Bulgogi cheesteak, Banh mi burger, Korean fried Chx wrap, and Collard noodles. I've had the pleasure of trying a few of these entrees already as I have been here a few times. Each and every time has been a deliciously new experience. For instance, that Korean friend chicken wrap introduces Kimchi, fried chicken, and a gochujang glaze which gives it a unique bit spicy, a bit funky, salty and savory taste. There is really nothing like it that I have tasted before. My absolute go to item on the menu. The server there Olivia is so nice and helpful especially if you're not sure what to order. The inside of the restaurant has a nice chill vibe to it that is a great representation of what the Oceanfront represents. Reasonable pricing and the ability to order through drive thru is a plus! This is the place to be!

If you find yourself in our fair city, I highly suggest to visit without a doubt Aloha Snacks. Not only for 1 reason. There are several. 1. The food. It's been a hot second since the last time I have been to Hawaii. Hubby went to meet his west coast team (most lived Hawaii) and a childhood friend of mine that lives out there now. 2. Aloha Snacks creator got his inspiration from his honeymoon. Chef Jesse competed against Bobby Flay in Beat Bobby Flay. In which Jesse won. I must say, with my kid being a fan of the show. 3. And bringing the west coast foods to the east coast. 4. Funky, fun and relaxed vibe here. In my humble opinion, this place has brought awesome west coast vibes to the east coast. The food here is phenomenal give it a try........

The food, service and location are all great! I had the lumpia and Loco Moco, which is some of the best of both I've had since leaving Hawaii. There's no way I can think of you won't like it!!

You need to check this place out. This place is fantastic. The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is laid back. And the staff is great. The menu could be weird if you are unfamiliar with Hawaii fast food. Hawaii's food is a mix of Asian culture, and this place has a little of everything. They have spam! Mainland Americans look down on spam, not Hawaiians. They do a great job adding spam to their dishes. Give it a shot. The menu changes! This is not a chain restaurant with the same old dishes year after year. Their burgers are on point, messy, and delicious. The place is small, and in the summer, it gets packed, but it's worth it. Oh, and I hear they do catering.

Here in town for a wedding in the fall (off season). We wanted something quick, healthy and walking distance from the beach. This place is 3 blocks away, easy walk. The owner (former high end chef) opened this place up 7 years ago. Service is very friendly as the owner took our order. He was very friendly and gave us cool stickers. The ambiance is pretty chill like a proper snack shake in Honolulu. I would avoid the franchises and try this place out. Food was delicious and freshly prepared.

First time stopping in while some friends and I were hanging near the beachfront. I am glad we stopped in! I'm always a bit wary with places like this in that the prices could be a bit much for what you get but Aloha Snacks delivers unique and quality food for the cost. I ordered the Hawaiian Cowboy burger. This double smash patty burger also features a slice of crispy spam and pineapple in between. This was honestly one of the better burgers I have had in the 757. The flavor combo of the pineapple, burger and spam was delicious. I didn't really notice the huli sauce but I'm sure it added to the whole experience. 10/10 would recommend this burger. The dirty fries were ok. The queso and spam were great but front loaded on top of the other fries. They are on a plate in the featured picture because we found it easier to dump out of the larger cup to share. My only grief with the fries is that they are on the saltier side. Whatever seasoning goes on there, while tasty, is an additional saltiness to the dish. Regardless they are still good. We also got a couple cocktails as it was the tail end of happy hour. The painkiller was very good! My friends had the pineapple squeeze. It was good but I much preferred my painkiller. Overall, this is a great spot near the beach to grab a quick burger or other unique items.
