Beautifully decorative. Huge Christmas trees! Large and a very clean Aquarium with so many fishes. I spend an hour filming the fishes and the pretty mermaid swimming around. The Hunting gift shop was HUMONGOUS with so many realistic animal statues displays. Best place to share with kids. It’s like being up close to a walk in wildlife enclosure. I love it. Also pet friendly as well.

STEAK AND LOBSTER SPECIAL $11.99! That is all I have to say! My family and I ordered 6 of these specials tonight varying in cooked preferences for the steak and each one was to our liking! My Medium Rare steak was soft and buttery! Lobster tail properly cooked, nice size, and not rubbery! Yummy! There is a large bake potato and cooked vegetables that come with it. The portions are great! I was so full by the time I ate everything! The wait staff was attentive, up beat, and accurate with our order. Since there are no reservations you do need to sign up for a table at the podium almost an hour ahead to get a table. It was worth the wait! I would do it again! Loved it!!

Growing up in Hawaii and now living on the "9th Island," I have definitely experienced some excellent local cuisine in my life. I first tried Aloha Specialties back in the late 90s during my first visit to Las Vegas. The experience was wonderful because prior to that visit, I haven't had any good local Hawaiian food in years due to my time away from the islands (serving in the military). After my late 90s visit, I revisited Las Vegas in 2011 with my family to meet up with my Mom and Dad. This is the visit we always remember because the time spent with them was wonderful and marks the first time for my family trying Aloha Specialties. Fast forward in time...after years serving in the military between my wife and I, our final stop in our careers brought us back to Las Vegas in 2014, which we ended up retiring here. Since our arrival, we've tried so many local Hawaiian restaurants in the city, but still manage to revisit Aloha Specialties from time-to-time because this restaurant will always hold a piece of family history for us. In fact, we still try to sit in the same back, corner booth we did from the 2011 visit (even though the restaurant experienced a renovation), just to relive the memory. The service here is always outstanding; I have NEVER received bad customer service from the employees during any of my previous visits. Not to mention, the service is amazingly fast even during peak hours. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio is phenomenal; the amount of rice they serve here is remarkable. I also appreciate how this restaurant supports the men and women of the Armed Forces and its Veterans. Unfortunately, I don't want to list all the food I've tried here because I think I've managed to try ~70-80% of the menu items by now; however, I will provide a small list of my family's favorites (to include mine). We really enjoy getting the Mix Plate, Local Plate, Aloha Bento, Korean Spicy Chicken, Saimin, and Wonton Min. During our most recent visit, my wife stated that the Korean Spicy Chicken is in her top-3 favorite chicken dishes ever! We definitely will be back in the future and I highly recommend this restaurant to all 9th Island residents and visitors from across the world.
