These tater tots are wonderfully crispy and elevated with a sprinkle of furikake and a sprinkle of arare rice crackers, making for a perfect companion to any main dish.
For mains, don't miss the Garlic Shrimp + Sausage combo, which showcases juicy, flavorful shrimp complemented by house-made garlic butter sauce and succulent pineapple sausage that delivers a burst of tropical essence with every bite. If you’re in the mood for something comforting, dive into the Japanese Style Curry, featuring tender vegetables simmered in a creamy coconut milk sauce and served over fluffy rice—it’s a warm hug in a bowl!
No visit to Little Aloha would be complete without indulging in their famous shaved ice. With an impressively fine texture and an array of flavor options, guests can create their perfect sweet treat with the ability to mix and match up to three flavors and choose additional toppings like ice cream. As Maria Cabrera put it, this is “a delicious sweet treat” that is hard to resist!
