🍩 Fresh malasadas, always.

We fry every malasada to order, none sit around waiting to be sold. 😆

Sometimes we sell out faster than our dough can proof, so there may be a short wait for the next batch.

Worth it? We think so. 🤤

Enjoy them fresh, take them as omiyage, or save some for tomorrow. Yep, they’re still ono the next day!

We know the difference between tonkotsu and tonkatsu…

And trust us, it’s a HUGE difference. 😂

🐷 Tonkotsu = pork bone broth.
🐷 Tonkatsu = breaded fried pork cutlet.

When someone orders a tonkatsu ramen expecting a crispy pork cutlet and you’re gonna be confused.

Order tonkatsu expecting ramen and you’re gonna be even more confused. 🤣

But then we get to kimchee vs kimchi…

Now that’s where we need to get this straight because…we’ve seen both used. 👀

Which is correct?
Kimchee or Kimchi?

Shave ice, not shaved ice. IYKYK. 🌺

People who get moved by touching stories or quiet acts of kindness… beware. 🥹

Because this one definitely made my eyes sweat.

From the outside, our parking lot usually looks pretty empty. But once you walk inside, there’s a crowd. Full tables. Full hearts. People talking story and gathering together. 🌺

Then we realized something…

So many of our customers purposely park farther away. Anywhere that’s not marked for Aloha Platez or the neighboring restaurants. Why? Because they want to make sure there’s easy parking left for the next customers coming in to support us. 😭😭😭😭😭

Nobody asked them to do that.
That’s just the kind of aloha our customers carry. 😭😭😭

Seeing people walk from afar just so our little mom-and-pop shop has a better chance to stay busy honestly gets us every single time.

We notice it. We appreciate it. And we’ll never take that kind of love and consideration for granted.

Mahalo plenty for always looking out for us and for each other. This is truly where aloha gathers. 💛

Palaka lanyard anyone? Easy to clip one Noms candy on to make a simple candy lei. ☺️🌺🌺🌺

Big little win for all of us 🤙🏽

We’re excited to share that we now have multiple designated parking spots right in front of . We used to only have one… but with all the love and support you’ve been showing, it grew into more. Truly grateful for that.

We know parking has always been one of the biggest concerns in this plaza. The good news is… it’s gotten so much better.

Per the property manager’s direction, all employees within the entire plaza park offsite. Not just our team, everyone. And honestly, we’re completely on board with it. It simply allows more parking to stay open for customers across the board.

Since this change, there’s almost always a few spots available now. No more circling around for long periods, no more stress trying to find a spot. It’s been a huge improvement for everyone coming through.

We’re hoping those visiting other businesses can help respect the designated spots in front so they remain open for guests grabbing food here. It really helps keep things smooth for everyone.

If parking was ever the reason you hesitated to stop by… we hope this gives you that extra nudge. Come through, we got you.

Mahalo plenty for always supporting us and growing with us 🌺

Fun fact about our roots in culture and food. 🌺

Kai was born here, but he is Hawaiian by blood, Kanaka Maoli, with his family roots in Oʻahu and the Big Island, and some in Kauaʻi. Hawaiian culture has always been part of his life through family, music, stories, and deep respect.

His late father, Keala Tsukiyama, brought the first Hawaiian music radio program to the mainland. 📻 KGIL 1260 Sounds of Hawaiʻi, sharing Hawaiian language, stories, and culture with people far from home.

I was also born here, but my family is from Tokyo and Kanazawa, deeply rooted in Japanese culture. I was raised in both languages surrounded by the values of respect, honor, and care. For my family, staying connected with nature has always been extremely important.

My father left Tokyo for O’ahu (Kailua) in his youth before coming to California, so Hawaiʻi too has always been part of my life through family, friendships, community, and food.

My mother while running her own business, then later becoming a Vice Principal, trained under professionals in cooking and baking. She taught me that food should be simple, made with balance, respect, and heart.

Food has always been part of both of our families, from Kai’s Aunty’s family businesses like Nishi Catering on Oʻahu and his parents’ Classic Saimin in Gardena, to the homemade meals and traditions I grew up with.

So when we talk about authenticity, it is because this is not something we learned later.

It is how we were raised. 🌺

Many folks are taking a trip to Oahu.
Go show some love to one of our favorite brands 🤙🏽

We don’t carry their shirts (too many sizes, not enough space 😅), so if you’re in O’ahu, make the stop. Their shop is in Kaimuki, right next to , literally a 2-minute walk.

It honestly feels like the universe is a little off right now… one of those “when it rains, it pours” moments.

We’ve never experienced this kind of gap all at once…losing people to health, family, life changes, and new opportunities, all at the same time.

Our team is solid. Truly. And even the ones who had to step away feel terrible about the timing…but at the end of the day, health comes first, and so does family. Always…for that we support their decision.

It’s just been a lot… all at once. Like a lot a lot.

So if you know any good people…dependable, respectful, team players, please send them our way 🌺
Even if they can only work couple times a week.

It would mean more than you know 🤍

Some moments just hit you in the heart. 🥹🌺❤️

A customer, Patricia, randomly gifted me a hard-to-find Trader Joe’s tote bag. I was honestly confused at first and asked her what it was for.

She said she follows both and , and she appreciates how we treat our team… the energy we give… and how much love is behind what we do.

That got me.

Because right now, we are SHORT staffed. Real life stuff, people out, things happening… and the only reason we’re still standing is because of our team.

They care.
They hustle.
They think.
They step up.

They don’t just work… they show up.

Without them, we are nothing.

And for someone to notice that… to see them… that means everything to me. 😭😭😭 (yes I legit cried)

Moments like this remind me why we’re so intentional about who we bring into our space. We’re not just hiring bodies. We’re building a team with real Aloha. 🌺

Patricia, thank you for your kindness. Truly.
And to our team… we see you. Always.

So grateful 🤍

Catching up on dessert making.

Instead of the usual crumbly mac nut crust, we made the crust into a Mac nut brick. It’s a THICK crunchy shortbread, hence the Mac nut Brick Cheesecake name.

One of our top sellers, Chocolate Haupia Pie.

And, off season pumpkin crunch, because why not.

If you see it, you see it 😂

A huge shoutout to Wake Up Delicious in Kauai! This plate right here is the whole reason our newest menu item exists. 🌺

A friend sent us their post and asked us to add this to our menu.

We were blown away by how magnificent their churro-style French toast looked. We wanted to try it right then and there… but they’re all the way in Kauai! 😭

So naturally… we had to get to work and recreate it with our own twist using what we have here at Aloha Platez.

✨ Introducing our NEW Malasada French Toast! ✨
Inspired by Wake Up Delicious in Kauai’s iconic churro French toast.

🔥 Two versions to choose from:
🥥 Haupia Malasada French Toast — coconut + ube cream
☕ Cinnamon Malasada French Toast — maple + espresso cream

It’s crunchy.
It’s moist.
It’s served HOT straight out of the fryer.
And it’s dangerously addicting. 🤤

We can’t wait to visit Wake Up Delicious next time we’re in Kauai. Everyone there is so lucky to have them!
Until then… come try our Aloha Platez version made with major love and appreciation. 🤙🏽
