The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl

If you are looking for a spot that hits all the right notes for a satisfying meal, look no further. We stopped by recently and were blown away by the flavors—everything we tried was so ono, it felt like a home-cooked meal made with a lot of heart. ​The menu has plenty of great options, but there are two absolute "must-haves" that you cannot skip. First, the Tasty Chicken is incredible. It’s perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside; it definitely lives up to its name! To wrap things up, you have to save room for the Strawberry Crunch Pie. It is the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and crunchy—the kind of dessert you’ll find yourself craving the next day. ​As for the logistics, the customer service was great. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had ev

One of the best restaurants in Hawaii and yes, it is a bowling alley. Tasty chicken and boneless kalbi are my favorites followed by their oxtail soup. Desserts are out of the world, especially the lemon crunch cake.

I finally made it in! ATMOSPHERE: The “restaurant” fills the lobby of the bowling alley with low tops and booths. There’s even a bakery tucked away. Expect noise as you’re literally amongst the bowlers who also provide some people-watching entertainment. It was very cold inside, with my only concern being the food cooling down faster. RESERVATIONS: None taken. We had a short 10 minute wait on a Saturday morning at 11am. PARKING: We easily found open stalls but I can see it being a problem at night. MENU: Mishmash of bar-style apps, American & local Hawai’i fare, pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and really good desserts. FOOD: Saimin Textbook recipe and a hearty serving to boot. Steamy hot and delicate broth, chewy noodles, slices of Spam, charsiu and kamaboko, along with two whole bok

The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl is just super amazing. You might think it’s just a bowling alley but you’d be surprised. It’s more than a restaurant in a bowling alley it’s one of the best restaurants in Aiea or maybe even the island. First of all they serve many local favorites such as ox tail soup and plate lunch items. I personally love the tasty chicken which is fried chicken that is fire. It has a sweet, garlicky, shoyu taste which compliments the nice crispy moist chicken. Service is excellent and food always comes out quick and made to order. This is a place I highly recommend and enjoy.

One of my favorite go to for lunch as I work down the road. My favorite is their tasty chicken with extra sauce on the side. Chicken is moist, crunchy, and saucy. The sauce is a sweet shoyu garlic with a touch of spice bomb!!!! They also have one of my favorite Mac salad, it's creamy with thin strips of carrots and a kick of black pepper. Their desserts are always top notch as well and I love all their crunches. Lemon crunch. Pumpkin crunch. Strawberry crunch. The pricing is getting up there and you can spend a good 15-20+ for a normal plate. The restaurant is in a bowling alley so it is typically very noisy. But that doesn't bother me as my son loves to watch the bowling, haha. They added tons of seats in the bowing area which is great to get a seat. However if you come during the p
