Customer's reviews

The staff at TNT Aloha Cafe were amazing and so was the food. Everything was amazing Kendall was so friendly and kind. He is respectful, cheerful and very good at talking to customers and it would be a real loss when he enlists. He gives good recommendations and talks about what to try and I’m certain you would love the food and service at Alola cafe. Grace was amazing. She was attentive and smart and paid extra attention and always goes the extra mile to help her customers. She made sure for takeouts that sufficient condiments and serviettes were given. You can tell she’s excellent at her job. All in all both Kendall and Grace work great together and I’m sure you’ll have a great time there as long as they are around ~ Eric T
My family & I have coming here since the original family was at The Rickshaw Restaurant (aka Gardena Bowl, for the real ones that know. It was the restaraunt’s real name). Followed them to Kau Kau Corner inside of Marukai (now Tokyo Central on Artesia Blvd), and now to their new home on Anza & PCH. ✅ Food is still great. New menu items, along with their signature classics from Gardena Bowl days. ✅ Staff are all incredibly cool & welcoming. ✅ Low-key, hidden & intimate spot in the back of the business plaza. Safe & comfortable! I bring all of my friends & family, from far & wide. From friends that don’t have any rice spots in their area, to friends from Japan, they all LOVE TNT Aloha Cafe, just as much as I do. It’s definitely a comforting spot that makes you feel welcomed & comfotable. 100% recommended to check out, if you haven’t yet. ~ WaxAddictLA E
KENDALL is the BEST server!! The dining room was full and he provided quick and high quality service to everyone there. His sense of humor and positive attitude keeps the customers entertained and happy. We have been here several times before, always taken care of by ALMA who is also super friendly always helpful. The owner STEVE is also super cool and welcoming! We even left with a fun new Lilo and Stitch edition Spam! Also, their shave ice is very good - the quality reminds us of what we’d get in Hawaii! Same with the food - Lau Lau, Lomi Salmon and Kalua pig are so tasty we get it every time! We love this place so much we choose to come here for our birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Highly recommend! ~ Breanna C
