Aloha Wagon

Hawaiian restaurant · Heart of Chicago

@eater

"Adrift on the six-corner chaos at Western, Ogden, and 13th Streets (near the Illinois Medical District on the Near West Side), owner Richard Manongdo and spouse Rebecca Romo serve up Hawaiian-plate lunches from a small open kitchen, takeaway counter, and a 10-stool seating area. Served with sides of creamy macaroni salad, mixed greens, and steamed rice, Aloha Wagon serves the cuisines of Hawai’i’s blue-collar immigrants: Filipino staples like chicken adobo and tocino alongside katsu, loco moco, SPAM musubi and grilled fish with wasabi aioli. The Aloha Bar, a pineapple coconut cheesecake on shortbread, will bring you back. Daytime only daily except Sundays; expect a crowd while you wait." - Sarahlynn Pablo, Eater Staff
