Aloha Alley

So so so tastyyyy! What I absolutely love about this spot is it can be so difficult to find authentic Hawaiian food in the city, but the new chef here is ACTUALLY native Hawaiian so yeah probably the best Poke you’ll have in the city but also like real dishes native to Hawaii. They’re also talking about adding more to the menu thanks to chef Quinn Nakahara ⭐️ I haven’t been able to get enough since I first tried and mouth is watering even as I look at the pics to post. HIGHLY recommend the short rib big Kahuna platter and the tacos (which are in wontons), AND the nachos are so yum

Worth every hype! Me and my friends found this spot on TikTok and they did not disappoint! The menu is filled with so many yummy options and the staff are SOOO nice. We’re just girls and kinda indecisive but the guys in the front were super nice and patient. We each got a Hawaiian BBQ dish and the portions were soooo good they def didn’t hold back. The Mac salad SO GOOD, the Lumpia SOOO GOOD, and the fries omg you MUST get it. We also got the Hawaiian POG and it’s a must try. You can tell it’s sooo fresh and it’s not too sweet which is literally perfect to me. We spent such a long time there and did a mini bday celebration for one of our girls and the staff was so nice they gave us more pogs 🫶🫶🫶 pls go check this place out , we will DEF be back to try everything else hehe

Best Hawaiian food in the city HANDS DOWN! The food was so fresh and flavorful. I was already of fan of this place but when I heard from a friend that they had recently hired a new head chef who’s a native Hawaiian with a fine dining background I knew I had to try it again and all I can say is…. IT SHOWSSSS! The quality of the food was out of this world. The chef is also such a cool, friendly guy and came out to say hi! Can’t wait to go back!! Recs: Kamikaze Nachos (WITHOUT A DOUBT), butter garlic shrimp and the POG juice!

NEW CHEF IN TOWN - AUTHENTIC HAWAIIAN FOOD - and not only does it show on the menu but you can taste it in the flavors of the food. - When you walk in, the staff is friendly, patient and kind- they'll help answer all your questions and help you decide what you're getting. The space was clean, easy to navigate and felt like the perfect lunch break- even though we went for dinner. The chef came out to greet us and shared with us stories of his childhood and the significance of the food we were eating. I couldn't tell you what we got, outside those nachos (that still call my name), but I can tell you this is one of those places that you can order ANYTHING on the menu and it will rock your world.

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!

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was a 10/10 and reminded me of my trips to Hawaii. Kenny was very hospitable and kind. I would definitely recommend trying this spot.

Food was flavorful and the fish was fresh. Service was fast. Staff members were kind and helpful. Loved their grilled food and how they separate the fish from the poke rice. Their nachos is soooo good too

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!

What a fun find! My husband and I ordered from here for the second time today and we just love how fresh and delicious the food is. The poke nachos are divine! Crispy wontons as nachos with fresh ahi, chopped jalapeños + pineapple and topped with sauces that only elevate the dish. It's such a good blend of crispy fatty goodness. I got the fire dancer salmon poke tonight and that was really as fresh and flavorful. The cooked bowls aren't bad either but the Mac salad doesn't compare to other Hawaiian spots-it lacks that certain something. Regardless, it's such a fun spot to order from.

This is a good spot for the Dumbo residents since it's a great choice for some yummy food in the neighborhood! This is more of a takeout spot with some seating to relax and chill with family or friends so I think this is more affordable spot if you're in the area as a tourist or a resident of Dumbo. You order at the register and you get your meal in the back. One of my friends went to Hawaii and said that this wasn't as authentic as she would hope but I didn't know as I never been. I got the big kahuna which was a whopping $24 which was pricey for what it was in a take out kind of spot with to go utensils and containers. My friends got the loco moco and didn't have too much to say about that one. I like having a side of mac with my bbq but I felt like for the price I rather just go to FOB as it tastes very similar to Filipino bbq and we would get more sides. I got the spam musubi to go and I think it was just okay. It's quite overrated on Instagram but I still think this is a great option for people to have if they're in the area as Dumbo is filled with extremely pricey food and we definitely needed a spot like this. I don't know if I would go out of my way to eat here again but it was good to try. Maybe if I was back in the area I would try their poke next time.

A cute little Hawaiian spot serving up high quality dishes in dumbo. More of a casual spot with about 6 tables inside, I could imagine taking food to-go and eating it by the water! Came here on a Sunday with a friend for a mid-day meal (around 3:30 pm). We opted to split a few dishes and got the following: - Longanisa Musubi Combo: I wasn't sure about trying this vs a typical spam musubi, but I'm glad we did! The longanisa was nicely cooked and I felt like it was something different. Would definitely order again. - Kamikaze Nachos: The nachos were fried to perfection with little air pouches that only come from a solid bath in oil. The nachos were also topped with salmon poke and had a ton of flavor. Delicious but definitely decadent and I would only get when sharing with a friend (or ideally multiple friends!) - BBQ Surf & Turf: Solid but nothing novel about it. Came with rice and macaroni salad. If you are looking for a classic hawaiian plate this will do it. - POG juice: I'm not a big juice drinker, but the POG was solid. Overall a tasty meal with some hits and no misses! The only nit I have is that our food took a while to come out-- I noticed people who ordered after us getting their food ahead of us (and it was the same dishes).

Located in Dumbo, just a short walk from the waterfront, Aloha Alley is a laid-back spot offering traditional Hawaiian dishes like musubi, poke, loco moco at reasonable prices. The portion sizes were generously large. The teri chicken was excellent! It was tender with a delightful balance of sweetness and tang. The macaroni salad was the perfect side for this dish. It also comes with furikake rice. I have never had it before, but it was a savory and unique flavor profile. Service was also fast and kind. It was refreshing to find a reasonably priced restaurant in such a tourist-heavy area of Dumbo.

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.

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!

Was super excited because saw this place on TikTok and the price + fish quality were both great but I wouldn't travel all the way to dumbo for it. You order beforehand online and the wait said 30-40 mins but it was ready in 10. We tried all 3 of the Hawaiian style fishes and I honestly liked all 3 of them and they paired well with the rice (wish this was softer) but the fire dance tuna was our favorite. We also got the tuna nachos which were good but I wouldn't need it again. I didn't like the Mac salad but my friends did, and the matcha was actually really good!

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!

This place was ok! We happened to be in the area and needed a quick bite before getting to hotel. We shared a garlic shrimp and it was meh. Portion size was small & did not remind us of Hawaii at all. Maybe the poke is better?

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.

Food was flavorful and the fish was fresh. Service was fast. Staff members were kind and helpful. Loved their grilled food and how they separate the fish from the poke rice. Their nachos is soooo good too. Perfect for take out

The ahi tuna poke bowl and ahi tacos are fresh and tasty. Fast service. Hibiscus refresher hit the spot!

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Poke is good, would come back for that. The big kahuna plate I wouldn't get again. The short ribs were tough and fatty, the chicken was just ok and I got a teeny tiny sausage as well that tasted good at least. It's also annoying that the only way you can order the short ribs is in combination with two other things...I found that unusual. I had my hopes high and traveled from Manhattan to come here and I think it was just average. You be the judge

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.

I wish I had taken a picture of everything we ordered, but we were too busy digging right in! We ordered the Kamikaze nachos, ahi poke, mac salad, and chicken musubi. Everything tasted so fresh, and the portions are absolutely great for the price! This is an amazing addition to the area. The staff is also exceptionally kind! Kenny was super helpful with suggestions and quickly fixed an issue that I believe was my own mistake when ordering. The restaurant also has great ambiance and great music. I'm so glad I was able to bring my sister here to try something new on her trip to New York! I will definitely be coming back soon!

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!

After tasting the dishes, the praise makes sense. The employees display exceptional kindness and reception. The kitchen delivers exceptional results. Despite limited room, their cooking impresses. I can't wait to explore more menu options.

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

A new place in Dumbo great vibe Good Music feel like I'm in Hawaii stop by grab a poke bowl "Aloha Salmon" Fresh!! stop by if you are thirsty for Matcha cause it is soooo good here and a warm welcoming friendly staff !!

So delicious!! Authentic Hawaiian is definitely hard to find in NYC. Fish was so fresh and they give you so much. Staff was so kind and taught a ton about traditional Hawaiian food! Poke nachos were the standout

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 an '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!
