Alohana Hawaiian Grill - Hawaiian restaurant in Ankeny - 802 SE Oralabor Rd Suite 128, USA

This was a great experience and definitely unique to have in Iowa. The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were plentiful for the prices. The menu had a lot to choose from and all prices seemed reasonable. The wait for the food wasn't too unbearable either. The only downside I had was that the bathroom was a little dirty and so were many of the tables. I understand places get busy, but this is something that catches customers' eyes when visiting. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant.

We had a great meal at Alohana. I had the house special - pineapple chicken. It was tasty and full of flavor. We agreed that the portions sizes were great especially for the prices of all the food items. Meals come with rice and pasta salad - I am a pasta salad hater however the Alohana pasta salad won me over very fresh and not overwhelmed with sauce. Will definitely be back to this spot, even ran into another customer from Hawaii that said it’s the best he’s had since moving from there!

We each ordered the BBQ mix, shared an order of Crab Rangoons. Every bite was delicious. The meat was seasoned well, the rice was not mushy, but was still cooked through and good. We will return and a note, they have great prices, $29.00 to feed two adults and have plenty left for a second meal or hearty snack later.

I had read that the crab rangoons were some of the best around and I believe that to be true! They were so full of flavor, packed with filling and lightly crispy! The egg rolls were a nice size with very flavorful filling also! All for under $10!

A great laid back chill spot with reggae music in the background along with some great food! You can’t go wrong with the BBQ mix along with a Hawaiian Sun Guava Nectar.

This place has been a favorite hidden little gem, that consistently serves high-quality, authentic tasting Hawaiian food. Although they could use some updated decor, it is momentarily transports you to a tropical destination and gives you a slight glimpse of the island life. I Recommend the barbecue chicken, chicken Katsu, or the house special under $10. Crab Rangoon‘s are the best I’ve ever had and they also serve family style meals for around $40.

Been wanting to try this place out and I finally did! I wasnt disappointed at all. I loved the rice, the chicken, the pot stickers and the Rangoon! Everything was made fresh and tasted amazing! To be honest, the only thing, to me, that made this "Hawaiian", was the grilled pineapple. Otherwise it was any other Chinese Takeaway. None the less....delicious!

Great place, awesome food and staff were friendly and prompt. Great Katsu also, try their bbq beef
