Aloha Alley

I love this place! Friendly staff and quick service. The fish was fresh and flavorful! I chose to customize my poke bowl and it came with so many options to choose from. I think it’s a great deal for the large amount of food I got. The matcha latte and nachos were also delicious. I can’t wait to try more items!

I don’t post often, but when something truly stands out, it’s worth sharing—and this place absolutely does. A new Hawaiian restaurant just opened in DUMBO, and it’s a gem. The food is exceptional, with generous portions that don’t compromise on flavor. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the service is impressively prompt. The location is also a win—just a 3-minute walk from the waterfront, making it perfect for a post-meal stroll. I’ve sampled a few dishes already, and every bite delivered. Highly recommend checking it out!

Wow! The food was incredible. If you can find a time that this place is not busy... you scored a jackpot. The poké was so fresh and the portions were HUGE. We ended up sharing because there was just too much. I got a Fire Dance Salmon and the fries. (ONE OF THE BEST FRIES I'VE EVER HAD!) A lot of flavor and perfectly crisp. Not pictured, but I got a lemonade too. There was something special about it. It is a must try! I took a sip of the matcha, and I kinda wish I bought one of them too. All the drinks are good! Service was on point. The owner actually delivered and spoke to the customers when we visited. It was so nice to see how much care they put on the food and experience. They recently opened so they are fine-tuning the supplies and delivery. Overall, there is something really special about this place. I think it goes to show by the constant flow of customers. I think ordering ahead is the best way... We really lucked out, but as soon as we ordered, the place was packed! Food was delivered quick and brought to us by the owner himself. A+++ P.S. Try the salmon teriyaki/musubi. I took a bite and ordered three to go! Worth it.

Hawaiian barbecue was amazing! The poke nachos were stacked with fish and loaded with delicious toppings. Macaroni salad was super tasty and rice was perfectly fluffy! 100% recommend trying this authentic poke! To go containers of poke, just like Hawaiian grocery stores do, is a great idea. Try it out!

Stopped by this poke spot on a whim and I’m so glad I did. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, but the standout for me was the teri salmon — perfectly tender, with just the right balance of sweet and savory in the sauce. The toppings were generous, the rice was warm and fluffy, and you can tell they actually care about the quality. Friendly staff and a clean, relaxed vibe make it even better. Definitely coming back.

My new favorite poke place! Obsessed with the poke nachos and love that I can buy a container of the poke blend from the counter just like at the grocery stores in Hawaii. Quick service and staff is friendly. Definitely will be back!

We loved this place for lunch after a morning of walking around dumbo. The tsunami nachos are out of this world. I had them as a personal lunch and it was the perfect amount of food! The fried wonton chips were perfect to scoop up the yummy toppings. The raw fish is so fresh!! Got the chicken dumplings as a side and they were very yummy. Will definitely be coming here again to try more things on the menu!

Cozy atmosphere, great service and amazing food. From the poke nachos, the chicken dumplings, the barbecue shrimp, the short ribs, the Teri chicken with rice, the burger dish! Out of this world!!!! One of my favorite places to eat from now on.

Obsessed with this new Hawaiian spot from the Em Vietnamese team. Came for a casual dinner one night and ordered the musubi combo (pork longanisa and POG), and the Teri chicken bbq (comes with mac salad). My favorite items were the mac salad and POG. Pork longanisa was also excellent. Would try the poke next time. Shave ice is also apparently coming soon - fingers crossed!

I came by with a friend for a post-workout meal in DUMBO. It's a nice, little Hawaiian spot for a casual dine-in or grab to-go and enjoy at Pebble Beach. You don't find Hawaiian food often in NY, so this is a nice treat with a variety of plates, musubis, poke, and nachos. Between the two of us, we shared the Longanisa Musubi Combo ($12), Kamikaze Nachos ($14.99), and BBQ Surf & Turf ($16.95). The combo also came with a POG drink, which was good but not sure I'd pay $5 for it. The musubi was OK, nothing all too special really. The surf and turf was nice to try both the chicken and shrimp, but I wish we could've picked a different flavor for the shrimp. The favorite was the nachos, which is the perfect order to share. Next time I'd have to try the poke and their garlic shrimp to really compare to Hawaii. Otherwise, glad to have this spot in Brooklyn.

As a fan of Asian grilled meats in general (viet porkchop, kbbq, etc.), the big kahuna bowl hit the spot. Iced matcha latte and POG were also great. Musubi was a bit messy to eat and I feel like there wasn't enough longanisa in it but ofc still such a good quick comfort food. I have to try the 1 protein poke next time (not custom bowls) for the true authentic Hawaiian experience.

lovely fast casual spot for Hawaiian foods right by the DUMBO waterfront. The menu is slim, but it has some of the hardest hitting Hawaiian items. I tried their loco moco plate, which is made with beef patties and two fried eggs, as well as rice and macaroni salad. the flavor of the gravy was really savory with a bit of sweetness. the service was friendly, though getting the food to go required a bit of a wait. the interior is simple and there is some limited seating inside. I recommend!

Pretty good! Got the salmon poke and it was good though a little too simple/basic for the price (expensive) but their ice-cold POG?? Oh my gosh, heavenly, especially on these sweltering summer days. I'd come back again just for that.

When you walk in, you're warmly greeted with an "Aloha" that instantly sets the tone, just like being on the islands. The style is casual and welcoming. Every dish had so much flavor Below are some of the dishes we tried Barbecue Teri Salmon I'm usually not big on cooked salmon, but this one was a game changer. Perfectly grilled with a sweet, not-fishy flavor that made it so enjoyable. The macaroni salad was creamy with a nice crunch, pretty sure those were bits of carrots in there. Simple and comforting. Aloha Salmon Poké This was so smooth and fresh. The salmon was high-quality and paired perfectly with sweet onions and little chunks of mango. The shoyu ponzu added a nice tang and the furikake rice tied it all together. Not a lot of places on the mainland offer poké a la carte without turning it into a bowl and I appreciated that simplicity focusing on the fish and the flavor. As close as you'll get to real Hawaiian poké without getting on a plane! Butter Garlic Shrimp Perfectly cooked, just pink enough with a satisfying bounce when you bite into it. The breadcrumbs added a nice texture, and I swear there was a hint of coconut in the seasoning that I absolutely loved. Comes with rice and macaroni salad for a complete experience. Spam & Longanisa Musubi Tried both versions (they come with egg) and while the classic Spam Teriyaki is my favorite salty, savory, and nostalgic,the longanisa version was a fun twist. Sweet, garlicky sausage flavor that gave major Filipino breakfast vibes. Great grab-and-go snack for New Yorkers or tourists on the move. Kamikaze Nachos Such a fun surprise! Crunchy wonton chips topped with Aloha Salmon poké, mango, scallions, and sauces. Loved the mix of textures and flavors, the sweet mango and spicy mayo combo was fire. Lumpia A Filipino classic that never misses. Crispy, golden pork lumpia served with sweet and sour sauce. Always a win. Overall, this spot is bringing bold, authentic flavors in every bite. Whether you're missing Hawaii or just want something different and delicious, you won't be disappointed. Definitely will be back.

So happy to have this new restaurant addition to DUMBO. It replaced a sushi restaurant that used to be in this spot. Aloha Alley is a Hawaiian poke and bbq, fast, casual restaurant. Nice and clean inside with cute decor. Not sure if it's because it's a new operation and they're still adjusting but service is slow here, especially if you order kitchen hot food items. If you just want poke, it's quick since it's all prepped already for your selection. I only had the pork lumpia and POG drink from here so far, and the food and drink are delicious. I've heard great comments about the food here from others though, but only complaint is the wait time. Hopefully, they sort out the kinks soon.

Cutie with aloha vibes & food. I went straight for the pole. Ahe tuna with doodles was a fresh & tasty take. They make theirs Hawaii style so tuna was separate and it was a lot of yummy sesame marinated tuna. They are pretty new, but the quality of the bowl was exceptional so I will be back.

I just want to say that the 5 stars this place has on Yelp is very, extremely, truly deserved. The food is amazing. The serving size is more than generous. And the staff accommodated a last minute switch up after my husband made a mistake and ordered the wrong nachos and paid already (switched from Kamikaze to Tsunami because I'm a tuna girl). Nacho chips were delectable and I was just obsessed with the crisp, the tuna, the mayo, and everything else. I didn't take a picture of hub's Big Kahuna plate, but even though I remember the beef and longanisa being just ok, the chicken teriyaki is just so *chef's kiss*. Surf and Turf also is thumbs up from me. A gem in Dumbo and I hope to come back again!

Wow! The food was incredible. If you can find a time that this place is not busy... you scored a jackpot. The poké was so fresh and the portions were HUGE. We ended up sharing because there was just too much. I got a Fire Dance Salmon and the fries. (ONE OF THE BEST FRIES I'VE EVER HAD!) A lot of flavor and perfectly crisp. Not pictured, but I got a lemonade too. There was something special about it. It is a must try! I took a sip of the matcha, and I kinda wish I bought one of them too. All the drinks are good! Service was on point. The owner actually delivered and spoke to the customers when we visited. It was so nice to see how much care they put on the food and experience.

Stopped here for a quick bite while in dumbo. I wanted something light and refreshing and this did the trick. This is a Hawaiian poke and bbq spot with a great selection of choices. When I entered there were a few people there who were still deciphering on what to get from the menu. I opted for the poke combo which included 3 poke tacos and a drink (also allows you to save 50 cents if you were planning on getting a drink and taco separately). I went with the salmon poke tacos which had chopped mangos, sweet onion and cucumbers with a ponzu sauce. I waited about 10 minutes and my meal was ready for pick up at the counter. The crispy shells added a nice crunch to a typically soft poke meal and the tacos were generously filled. After 3 I felt like my savory appetite was satisfied but I wasn't overly stuffed. For my drink I opted for the hibiscus refresher which wasnt as sweet but more flavorful for a drink. My friend ordered the POG which was the passionfruit orange and guava drink -more on the tart side but very refreshing! The staff was super friendly and gave us extra napkins as well and the place itself is cute with Hawaiian themed decor and seating for 20 people or so.

Took the kiddos to Brooklyn Bridge Park and walked to a nearby spot for lunch. We kicked things off with the Kamikaze Nachos to share--crispy, flavorful, and a lighter twist compared to the usual heavy nachos loaded with meat, sauce, and cheese. The salmon was especially fresh and well-seasoned, a definite highlight. For our main, we tried the Big Kahuna plate, which was great for sampling--Galbi Short Rib, Teriyaki Chicken, and Longanisa. Each had its own flavor profile and complemented the others nicely. For drinks, we got two refreshing options the kids loved: Matcha and Aloha Lemonade. The Aloha one stood out with its use of Calamansi. My kids loved the bright citrus blend of lemon, lime, and orange.

Super fresh and extremely good. Been here every other day and I've tried mostly everything on their menu and it's spot on. I appreciate the small details such as the Ahi Poke comes on a bag of ice. Big win for the neighborhood with them here now. Staff is also really friendly.

Aloha Alley had such a warm and welcoming vibe. The staff was so friendly and the food was incredible. It's in a great location in Dumbo too. We ordered the Big Kahuna, spicy garlic shrimp and kamikaze nachos which was perfectly paired with the hibiscus refresher and the aloha lemonade. I also grabbed a spam musubi to go and am kicking myself for only getting one. Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area!

So excited to have this new Hawaiian BBQ & poke spot in the neighborhood! I stopped by and tried the loco moco--absolutely delicious. The homemade mushroom gravy is next-level and pulls the whole dish together perfectly. You can really taste the care they put into their food. Service was fast and friendly, and the space is super clean and welcoming--a great spot for a casual bite or takeout. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying their poke next. If you're in the area, definitely give them a try and support a great new local business. Highly recommend!

Grab & Go for quick lunch fill up !! Great new place very clean and friendly staff Aloha Alley!! I'll come back again

New Hawaiian place in dumbo! Tried their spam and a hibiscus drink both were great. Will definitely be back.

We stopped by Aloha Alley for drinks and would definitely come back to try the food. We were immediately greeted with a 'aloha;' the staff was very friendly. We tried the lemonade which was refreshing and not too sweet, as well as the matcha latte which was smooth and a nice little afternoon treat. The restaurant was very clean and had plenty of seating. If you are in the area, definitely check it out. Bonus -- it's right near the waterfront, a great location and very convenient to stop in for a bite!

Amazing addition to the neighborhood. Ordered the kamikaze nachos and a matcha latte. The salmon was fresh, and the portions were incredible for the price. was a total umami bomb. you will not leave hungry. Also don't sleep on the matcha -- wonderfully balanced with just the right sweetness. Staff and mgmt were also SUPER friendly.

Delicious food and generous portions. Service was prompt and very welcoming. Would order again!

Convenient location, fresh options, and portions are great compared to other poke spots in the area. The staff is also very kind and friendly! I'm happy to have a poke spot in Dumbo and I'll for sure be a returning customer!
