Virginia Beach Says “Aloha Aloha” to Hawaiian Flavors
The next time you find yourself watching an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives where Guy Fieri is sinking his teeth into Hawaiian delights, you don't have to book a flight—just head over to Aloha Aloha, right here on Lynnhaven Parkway in Virginia Beach! This new Hawaiian spot has already earned a place on my list of must-try restaurants in the area. With a laid-back dining space and authentic island flavors, it’s a perfect addition to your list of things to do in Virginia Beach, VA.
Located at 869 Lynnhaven Pkwy #106, Virginia Beach, VA 23452, Aloha Aloha serves up over 10 flavors of wings, Hawaiian-style fried rice, macaroni salad, and classics like spam musubi. Whether you’re a seasoned Hawaiian food fan or new to the flavors, there’s something here for everyone.
Here’s What We Tried:
Spam Musubi
At first glance, the price might seem a bit high, but the portion size more than justifies it! This spam musubi is a treat—generously thick-cut spam, skillet-cooked to perfection, and glazed with a tasty Hawaiian sauce. It's all wrapped in fresh seaweed and set on a bed of warm white rice. Even if you’re not usually a fan of spam, I highly recommend giving this a try. However, if spam’s not your thing, they also offer alternatives like BBQ chicken or chicken katsu for a delicious twist.
Hawaiian BBQ & Fried Shrimp
For the seafood lovers, this dish brings together the best of both worlds—fried butterfly shrimp and skillet-prepared Hawaiian BBQ shrimp. Served with your choice of white or fried rice, vegetables, and macaroni salad, it’s a well-rounded plate that satisfies both the craving for crispy fried goodness and rich, savory BBQ. The veggies, reminiscent of those from Japanese hibachi spots like Sakura, are cooked just right and complement the shrimp perfectly. And that Hawaiian BBQ sauce? Pure magic.
Hawaii Beef Mix
This is a meaty dish for those who want the ultimate carnivore experience. The star of this plate is the short ribs—tender, flavorful, and falling off the bone. While the strips of beef were slightly chewy, they didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Pair all that with white rice, and you’ve got yourself a hearty dish that’s likely to leave you with some leftovers for the next day.
Hawaiian BBQ Beef
If you’re new to Hawaiian cuisine and want to play it safe, the Hawaiian BBQ beef is a solid option. It’s simple, but still bursting with flavor. The beef, while a bit chewy, pairs well with their fried rice and is smothered in that signature Hawaiian sauce that brings everything together. This is the kind of dish you won’t regret ordering if you’re dipping your toes into Hawaiian flavors for the first time.
Final Thoughts
Aloha Aloha is an exciting new addition to Virginia Beach’s diverse food scene, and I’m already planning my next visit to try more of their menu. Whether you’re popping in for lunch after a trip to Lynnhaven Mall or skipping dinner prep to let them do the work, this spot is worth a visit. From comforting staples like spam musubi to filling BBQ plates, Aloha Aloha is sure to leave you with a smile and a full belly.
