I was informed after visiting for lunch that Alohana is moving to the old KC BBQ at 205 E 14th St, Capitol East. Sometime late October.

OUT OF BUSINESS

I bought a coupon for a $20 dinner for 2 for $10 for this restaurant only to find that the restaurant is out of business. Why would a restaurant advertise when they were closing anyway? Interestingly the sign on the door said they still cater. There were cars pulling up to the restaurant only to find disappointment.

Very let down

I was excited to try out this Alohana because I haven't heard of a place in the metro like it. I was very disappointed though. I walked in and there were about 3 tables filled with an average of 2 people at each. This was at about 12:15pm. They were very attentive at the counter taking my order but made no suggestions and treated me like I should have known what Chicken Katsu was. I ordered it anyways. The food wasn't quick but it didn't take super long. I would compare the wait to Culver's. I got mine to go. I will say that it was hot and fresh but the chicken was some of the worst quality I have ever had. It was mostly fatty dark meat filled with tendons. The breading was decent but nothing spectacular. It came with BBQ sauce. I honestly could have gotten better chicken at McDonalds. I was very disappointed. I understand why it wasn't crowded beyond its awful location hidden behind a bank. I will not be recommending it or going back.
