Aloha Salads - Kapolei

I ordered the Açaí Bowl today, but after what I received, I recommend you to avoid this article. The overall quality including taste and appearance were not good and there was hardly any facade in my bowl. There was only a thin layer with much more granola. The Granola-Açaí ratio was not well done. I never get a facade from here again.

Decided to get a salad after yoga class. Chose the kamuela Cobb. It actually wasn't a bad salad. The ranch dressing is of the style that I don't like, so it was easy not to add the dressing. The chicken was dry, but it also resembled the blu cheese, so at first i didn't eat it all until I realized there was still chicken on my plate.. Would have gotten a seltzer water, but they contain sugar, so skipped the beverage.

We visited on Friday night, around 8:15 pm. I ordered my usual favorite of an Aloha Passion salad and I split an Italian sub with my husband. My husband also had a large Portuguese bean soup. The salad and sub was exactly as I expected. I like the fact that I can go to any Aloha Salad location and there is no deviation in taste or quantity. The only disappointing thing was that the soup was cold. My husband likes his soup to be burn the tongue hot so it wasn't satisfying for him. They did give us an extra soup because they were getting ready to close so that somewhat made up for the disappointment. Several months ago the franchise discontinued their soup/sub and salad/sub combo meals. I was sorely disappointed with the change. I can see that it was probably a financial decision but I don't know if that was a wise choice as it does affect the amount of times that I patronize the business. I don't visit unless I'm with my husband because then we'll split the sub. I do recommend the food because it is tasty.

A gem of a lunch stop that could be truly great with a bit more polish. First, the positives: fresh and local ingredients; creative dishes; friendly staff; and a solid value (especially the kids combo meal). But ... large disparity between the small and large sized portions. Going big really pays off and leaves the little size looking puny. Speaking of puny, they go light on the protein only two shrimp on the spinach salad and barely there chicken on the beet salad. But my biggest recommendation is to properly toss the salad. They build a pretty looking one, but leave it to you to mix in the dressing and ingredients. Mix that up for me, mahalo! For real. Still, looking forward to returning.

Big hearty portions of fresh veggies... what's not to love? Got the Satay salad with chicken and it was great. Would definitely recommend this place for a healthy and fresh meal.
