Aloha Island Grille - Santa Cruz

The katsu was tasty, but most of the other food was underwhelming and lacking in flavor. But the katsu was perfectly crispy, and their house-made juice drinks were good.

The food here is very good and the owner, Numa is a great guy. I've worked with him at Soquel high school, and he donated food from the restaurant for our homecoming 2022. All the food I've had here is great.

3 1/2 stars. Overall. That being said I only can rate the dish we had partaken. Kayla and fries. According to my reviewer of foods, the shredded pork was seasoned correctly, but not knowing what was additional seasoning were added . This is Way better than L&L imo. Plenty of rice and large pieces of hamburger patties and the decent Although we have a running test we think the patties originated from the Costco burgers patties? Anyway prove me wrong. As always, post wherever the wind takes you.

Cute local spot for food. Tasty food and fun decor.

Not too impressed. Fair to medium decent food. If you're looking for a comparison try the one corner of Homestead and Lawrence in Santa Clara.
