The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl

"This place isn't fancy, it's even a bowling alley. But their food - oh so yummy! We are somewhere else but I had to have dessert from here. I picked up a huge slice of Crunchy Strawberry cake. Not sweet just creamy and light. The crunchy outside is just right to give it that dessert sweet. The slice is so big I had to put it in the fridge for part 2."

"The food and service were outstanding on two different occasions. They are part of a bowling alley so the atmosphere could be off, depending on what you are trying to do at this restaurant. Kitchen area and restroom could be cleaner. They were busy both times we came, once for lunch and once for dinner. The OX Tail soup was very rich! We had that, tasty chicken and the shrimp both times. I rated the entrees in that exact order. Will definitely return."

"Most people wouldn’t think about getting a nice table service dinner out at a bowling alley. Tonight we joined a local friend at The Alley Restaurant Bar & Grill at Aiea Bowling Alley. We ordered Tasty Chicken with brown rice and macaroni salad $16.95 which is deep fried battered boneless chicken dipped in a tasty alley sauce. We also ordered Teriyaki Salmon with brown rice and macaroni salad $18.95. Both of these dishes were very flavorful and very filling. We shared desserts of Lemon Crunch Cake ($5.75) and also a ever so light piece of cheesecake with a blueberry sauce on top. Both desserts were excellent and all desserts are made in house. They have a dessert case with many different options, all of which looked like items we would like to try. The wait time to be seated was about a half hour or more as reg restaurant appears to have just 6 booths that seat 4-6 people. Our server was nice, friendly and helpful. The only negative at all is that the parking lot is much to small for this restaurant to share with the bowling alley and a couple of other businesses next door. We parked at the shopping center at the bottom of the hill. We definitely recommend this restaurant and will happily return to try other foods, desserts and drinks."

"Stopped by here for lunch on recommendation from a fried. The restaurant is within a bowling alley and it was busy. Service is great. Servers are attentive and friendly. Lots of families and kids bowling and eating. Atmosphere is fun and as expected from a bowling alley. Food was ok. A bit on the bland side. I think my friend hyped up the food too much. So, I was expecting more flavor. I was also expecting more than just four shrimp for the price. Overall, a fun place to hang out and pass some time."

"Who would have thought a bowling alley would have such good food. If you’re dining in, make sure you check in with the host instead of ordering at the To-Go counter. The food here was bomb! Everything came out hot and fresh and was delicious. All the staff that we encountered here were super friendly and helpful. This place has a total neighborhood local vibe to it which explains why it’s so popular with the local community and people from around the island."
