Aloha Bowls in Duncan

First time here, discovered it from a community coupon book. What a delight it was! Highly recommended, had the Katsu chicken wrap, small macaroni salad, and Hawaiian punch. Thoroughly inpressed :)

Absolutely loved the North Shore Shrimp plate. Was delicious and cozy, great customer service. I WILL BE BACK!!!

Very tasty and clean, quality food. I will try them again. I had a combination Poke bowl. Well worth the money.

Visiting from the Okanagan. Wow! A very perfect salmon poke bowl, thank you. When I am back in the area I will come here again!

Honestly, Food and Atmosphere was Awesome! We were a group of 15 adults with two children, we stopped by Duncan for a quick bite. Since most of us are restricted with certain foods, Aloha Bowls was our To Go. BUT, however, the workers specifically the two employees upfront on August 1, 2024 (Timestamp: 2:30pm) could work on their attitude a little bit better. Knowing that Duncan is a place where people often stop by to get to their destination, people are often tired and just wanting something to bite. No one s perfect, but Attitude is something that speaks volume and is the forefront of respect. Again, I would suggest this place to anyone and any of my friends but I would just feel wary in the future because of my customer service experience. I wouldn t point this out if only I was the one who noticed, but after half of our team mentioned it, it is a concern to point out for room of improvement! Otherwise!!! The Food is Spectacular!

Delicious Aloha wraps with green papaya salad. Cute patio space

I really wanted to like this place more, however, I gave 4 stars because my boyfriend who barely touches veggies actually really enjoyed his chicken katsu lunch plate and it is so rare for him to like whatever heathy food Im eating. Unfortunately, my salmon (really its steelhead trout) poke bowl was overwhelmingly saucy (and I LOVE sauce) to the point that I just really couldnt taste the flavours of anything else when I mixed it all together. I think it was a combination of the ponzu, pineapple jam and too many pickled things that made it just really sour and and not tasty. Sadly, the two things that could have cut some of the overwhelming taste were the spicy mango sauce and avocado. The spicy mango sauce was good but couldnt overpower the other flavours and my avocado was super unripe and inedible. However, I will say, their presentation was absolutely beautiful, and you can tell they use very high quality, fresh ingredients. I wasnt hopeful of finding many gluten free options on my visit to Duncan, so alas, I am happy to have eaten nonetheless. I will add, when I ordered over the phone, the girl who answered definitely needs to be taught some customer service skills but Im assuming she is just very young... She was very short with me and not overly polite. My boyfriend said the same when he went to pick it up. Im going to give these guys a second chance and try their burger place tomorrow, because anything is better than Whitespot and it looks dang good. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free

5 Stars all around and the food was amazing.

The burger was messy but the flavor was well worth it. Leave the highway fast food and have a burger that is actually a joy to eat. This was the first burger in a while that truly enjoyable. Unique burgers, unique toppings, unique drinks. Full marks.

Delicious food, friendly staff, nice decor... I will be back for more!

Deeeeeeelicious. And very pleasant staff. :) A bit pricey but you get a lot of food.

These guys are super awesome. Poke bowls made by the same taste bud geniuses of Kahuna burger next door. You can tell they use quality ingredients by the fresh colors and flavor of each bite. Thanks for being open here in Duncan!

Awesome food! One of my favorite places to eat in Duncan! So lucky to have found this place. Such healthy, delicious food!

Aloha bowl I get the one thats with Avocado and extra veggies outstanding bowl and Ryan who manages it is impeccable with customer service a must if your in downtown Duncan !

I loved it. It was delicious and fresh.

I really liked my ahi tuna bowl. So fresh and very good. The worker said it s like having a deconstructed sushi in a bowl. Mango salsa was very good and the tastes are bold and work together. Highly recommend!

My wife And I each had the chicken wrap. Very good, fresh veg, and the macaroni side was flavourful too. Food

What a sweet jem of a spot! I came off my fast and wanted a lazy but healthy meal and boy did I get exactly what I wanted! The poke bowl was absolutely phenomenal with so many great flavors and perfectly fresh avocado and spinach (not a single droopy leaf) and the portion is just right! ( maybe too much for a first day off my fast lol but any other day for sure) the owner was absolutely lovely to chat with and the restaurant is just such a cute spot!

A great experience with delicious bowls and friendly service... As well as some absolutely banging banoffee pie! Wow

Amazing poke bowl and great service

One of the best burgers Ive ever had! Ordered the Kauai, and got the Dole Whip Pinapple desert. Serving is massive.

Delicious food and wonderful service

Unbelievable! Legit Hawaiian Poke in the heart of Duncan. A must!

My go to place for healthy takeout. Huge portions, great quality best spot in the valley!

Best Poke on the island! Always so fresh with amazing ingredients!

Fresh and delicious poke. They do not offer a traditional poke bowl with just fish and rice however I m sure you can ask! I just didn t want to be difficult. They have bowls that come with an assortment of sides (as you can tell from the pic). My bowl was bit on the saucy side, so I ll deduct -1 point. Just ask for easy on the sauce. Mahalo!!

The tune poke bowl is out of the world amazing! So fresh and with so many subtle flavours. I felt really rejuvenated after eating it. My new favourite.

I swung by out of the blue travelling from Halifax and hungry. I based it off of what Maps said was in the area, open and had different options rather than Pizza, pasta, dip fried stuff. I went with the vegan poke bowl which was pretty amazing! Rice, pulled-jack fruit, spinach and a bunch of other great veggies and flour jammed in a bowl. With a coffee. It was fantastic!

Super friendly staff and tasty, healthy bowls. I ll definitely be back. Thank you!

Fresh, great flavours, fast and delicious at a reasonable price! Well definitely be back!

Great place the bowls and wraps both taste freash and are delicious.

Fresh and delicious, with the sun and a smile... Perfect!

Really enjoyed the Tuna Poke Bowl! I called the store before placing my order on door dash and asked if they had any plain tuna (no marinade because I personally do not like the marinade) and they did. The gentleman on the phone was very helpful and went out of his way to ask if all of the other sauces were ok. Unfortunately I forgot to get his name. I placed my order on door dash and received it quickly. Thank you! The tuna bowl was delicious

Unique and delicious wraps.

Good cozy patio restaurant to have poke bowls on a nice sunny day

Impressed very much with poke served here!

had the ahi tuna bowl for the first time. was very delicious and a nice full meal for lunch. cant wait to try some of the other menu items!! Parking: great place but parking sucks on kenneth. Not much ya can do.

The food is Incredible. So fresh and delicious!

The best poke bowl I ve ever had, anywhere. Such a pleasant surprise in a small town.

Unexpected gem as we passed through Duncan. Lots of authentic menu items and great service. Thank you for the meal!

Went with a large group of people and ordered a katsu chicken lunch plate. Felt a little cautious about a Hawaiian polé place in Duncan (seemed a bit out of place), but it was unexpectedly delicious! And everyone enjoyed their meal. The mac salad was delightful along with the slaw. The owners and workers were SO kind and patient, and the food is made with such consideration. I would definitely recommend it here :)!

Good poke bowl, fresh ingredients and the owner (I think he was the owner) from Kahuna burger came out to offer us water and ask how our food was. Good, kind service. Would definitely recommend and will be returning next time we are in the mood for poke :)

Good portion of poke bowls. Fresh ingredients. Great outdoor seating.

Wonderful poke bowls with fresh ingredients and really tasty dressing.

Theyve done a remarkable job of making you feel you are in a different world, tropical and just far enough removed from the street for comfort

A gem in Duncan! We were nearby running some errands and decided to try this place. Sure glad we did! Everything was fresh and delicious. Will come back for sure!

casual dining takeout excellent service the good yum. only here for a week will make a point to come back again

Ordered two poke bowls. Very tasty. The service was amazing. Its a small restaurant, so I thought they would be similar to a fast food chain (pay>take your food), but the owner came and checked in on us, and served water. It was a very pleasant experience on an otherwise grey and gloomy day.

They use quality ingredients and put a great effort into creating authentic hawaiin flavours. They are super creative too (homemade pineapple jam and double chocolate banana bread) The only reason I rated this a 4 is because they had one price listed on their website, and a higher price when I arrived. Its never a pleasant surprise once youve already made the journey to the restaurant. As someone who researches the restaurant before I arrive, I encourage restaurants to keep their websites up to date, especially if you are going to enforce a price increase. Edit: I have changed my review to a 5 because the restaurant immediately reached out to correct their website! Vegetarian options: Tofu bowl

This place is a hidden gem. I chanced upon it while walking along downtown Duncan looking for healthy options and this definitely caught my eye. I ordered a Combo Poké and honestly, it was the best Poké I have ever had so far! The ingredients were really fresh, portion was really generous and really delicious! I dont think I can ever eat Poké bowls in Singapore ever again! Will definitely be back when I come visit Duncan the next time!

Nice fresh bowls in a nice and quiet patio.

Excellent food and service. The servers were friendly and very attentive

Lots of fresh ingredients and very friendly service. Wed love to come back.

Very tasty, fresh, good vegan options. Will return when in Duncan.

Incredible! Huge portions, fresh quality ingredients, absolutely delicious. 10/10. Also got the Basil Ginger Lemonade and WOW worth a try for sure! Thanks for a great experience!

The best poke bowl I ve ever had, from people who are very proud of what they do. Fresh ingredients with culinary flair and fusion. I ll be back next time I am in Duncan.

It felt like Hawaii. Excellent food. Robert really has the Aloha spirit. Excellent service. Hospitality was perfect. Looking forward to another location opening in Victoria. Were telling all our friends. Mahalo.

I travel a lot for work and I always go out of my way to stop here and eat. Love the food, love the tasty flavours!

Amazing food, amazing people, one of my favorite dining experiences on the island and reasonably priced. Bantering with the owner was the cherry on top!

BEST poke in Vancouver Island! It shows that this poke place takes care of the ingredients and preparation of a good plate. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and veg options available Parking: 2h street parking for customers along all the street

Fantastic little place, its tucked in a bit but worth trying! Their wraps are made from fresh, crepe like with onion, the katsu chicken wrap was really good. Poke bowl was bursting with flavours ...and big portions. Great gem here in Duncan!

Just tried it for the first time and WOW! Explosion of flavour. Literally blew my mind. Can t say enough good things about this place. Delicious, great price, awesome staff and healthy! Go now!

Excellent food, and beyond amazing service! Had the combo ahi/salmon poke bowl and kalua pork, basil ginger lemonade and the haupia pie was heavenly! Must try and the owner AJ was fabulous!!

Aloha Bowls is my new favorite poké spot. The ingredients were all fresh, and each added their own unique flavors to the entire dish. I really appreciated the kelp, an addition Ive never seen in a poké bowl. The soft Hawaiian music in the background didnt distract from the conversations. I suspect it was the owners serving us, and they were incredibly congenial and I rather enjoyed our conversation.

Great food, wonderful flavors and textures...highly recommend

SALMON POKE BOWL... Lots of food for $20. A wide variety of fresh ingredients. Trendy, safe, and clean location. Non fried served raw/fresh food at its best. Only tried the salmon poke bowl so far.

I was pleasantly surprised that Duncan offered style of food. The menu is small but the quality was excellent.

Had a Kahuna burger and once again, amazing! Super good and fresh. Cant wait to try a dessert slice next time.

Had the Big Kahuna Burger with the mac salad with the lemonade. Every piece of my meal was delicious. Definitely recommend finding which burgers your favorite the Kahuna burger is not for a rookie cheeseburger conasuer but Wimpy from Popeye level burger enthusiasts.

Stellar pork and tasty rice. Sets itself apart from the Poké places in Victoria.

Very good and healthy housemade food! The owner Ajay was a pleasure to chat with and added to our great experience

First time here. I tried the salmon poke bowl. Very fresh. The lady at the front was running the till and preparing the food was extremely friendly. I ll be back!

Excellent place for fresh & delicious food! The 4 of us all tried something different, tuna poke bowl, chicken wrap, pulled pork wrap & a burger from next door (owned by same owners). The basil ginger lemonade & fruit punch was so good, then we shared 3 desserts. We all loved our food and said we would come back here for sure! Great job Aloha Bowls!!

Decent poke bowls

Wow! My tastebuds are so very happy right now! It was my first experience at Aloha Bowls and I will definitely be back. I honestly didnt know Hawaiian food was so delicious. Today I ordered the Katsu Chicken wrap for take out and I was absolutely blown away. The food tasted very fresh and the seasoning was perfect. The staff were extremely friendly and enthusiastic about their food. I could tell they were proud of what they were serving and it was great to see. Also got the Basil Ginger Lemonade and it might be the best lemonade Ive had yet. Worth noting that the take out has compostable packaging and a wooden fork. Added plus to round out a perfect take out experience. Thanks Aloha Bowls, Ill be back!

Absolutely delicious

First time we ordered poke bowls for takeout. OMG... so good! Exceeded our expectations. Large portions of fresh, delicious fish and veggies. I had the ahi tuna and it was incredible! Well be back ... soon!

Awesome food and the best staff. Will definitely be going back. Looking forward to warmer days to sit outside in the court yard.

Unreal food, drinks and desserts

We had a delicious lunch. The staff were super friendly and the meal was very filling. Best healthy meal choice in Duncan.

Can you say BEST EVER Batman?!!!! So so good and fresh. I had the vegan bowl and my mum had the spicy tuna. We enjoyed every bite! And the servers were so helpful and friendly. Great, fresh tasty food and excellent service! Another happy customer coming your way as often as possible!

Great portions food food and service was awesome

Its good that Im visiting for a few more days, to go back and try more. Total yum fest. The flavours were amazing. A definite repeat! And repeat! And repeat!

Amazing. This review is actually for the Kahuna burger . We walked in and we were immediatley greeted by the owner He explained all the choices to us. Sounded amazing but thought how good can it be really.? Well! After one bite my reality of what flavors and food could be have been changed forever! What an experiencing! I did not know that food could taste so good. Honestly. It was felt like a completely new experience, and I cant remember the last time, if ever , that I have been taken over by a food item like that.whoa! I mean good is good but this flavour profile is out of this world. I felt like checking the wrapper and making sure they hasnt slip some kind truth serum or love drug into the mix because I was immediatley just taken by a Kahuna burger. Who would of thought! I was not expecting such a connection. And now this burger and its service is my number one favourite place that I would recommend in an instant! Worth every penny. Honestly...You have to try it! The care and thought they put into this is above and beyond . Service is so great ! Both owners came over for a quality check. And you know they must experience this all the time. Im not even a foodie. But everyday Im sure they experience these well deserved reactions from people just mesmerized by whats in front of them. Nothing short of magic. Im in love. I didnt even bother to grab a photo because I was not willing to put down my Kahuna Burger.

Very fresh ingredients, wonderful staff and amazing food!

Vegan poke was delicious! A great spot for a fresh lunch on the cute patio-courtyard.

AHHHHH-MAAAAA-ZIIIINNNGGG! Seriously though...I ordered the shrimp plate and there was such an amazing profile of flavours! The perfectly cooked shrimp on a bed or rice with a sauce thats making me drool as I write this, the crisp spinach, coleslaw and creamy macaroni salad hit the mark! These are not your typical side dishes either, the sauces are all freshly made in house and are truly delicious! Oh and who can forget the incredible service at both restaurants!

Dont underestimate their veggies and toppings! Dont even need the fish to make it a great meal!

Very clean good food friendly quick service

Ahi bowl, spicy, fresh, veggies, fish, healthy yum !!!

Definitely recommend this place. Super friendly staff who recommended drinks & products, fast and great service. I got the vegan kalua pork plate and it was so good that I just kept eating even though I was full! Will be back :)

Okay. Not bad at all(!), very fresh ingredients and very good service from the girls at the counter. BUT. The Salmon pokebowl had so many (strong tasting) ingredients that is totally lost its salmon identity. More is definitely not more, think Italian, keep it simple.

This is a Honolulu location and it provided me with proper routes and maps

I don t often take the time to make reviews, but I just had to for Aloha Bowls! What a lovely place, with the most delicious poké bowls, as well as such friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back!

Delicious, high quality bowls! Theyre worth every penny and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Ate lunch here yesterday, excellent quality and fantastic flavors, we will be back for sure!

Chicken katsu bowl is a big beautiful lunch and cant say enough about ginger lemonade. We live in Victoria and met a friend here on our way through town. So glad we found this. Next stop is their sister-restaurant Kahuna Burger next door.

Really, really good poke bowls. Bright and delicious flavours, not overly salty or anything. Portion sizes worth the money. Worth a stop!

Favourite place in Duncan for dinner. Portion size is easily enough for two meals and it s absolutely delicious.

Same owners as Kahuna (yum). Most authentic poke I ve had outside of Hawaii. I ve had the pulled jackfruit bowl too and it s Super yum. Great value.

Delicious! One of the best poke bowls I ve had! Service was well and above, very friendly. Highly recommend

Great food friendly service. A new regular lunch box for us

ENORMOUS WRAPS THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. Crepe-like wrap, delicious, savoury, fresh fillings. Kind owners who let me sample and discover poke. Don t get a pizza for once, try this.

Delicious! Such kind staff and wonderful food, will definitely be returning

Excellent experience, amazing food!

Amaaaaazing food. Will definitely be going again. Was just like Hawaii!

Loving this place! The two guys who own it are very customer oriented and take great pride in their delicious fare. My favourite is the North Shore Shrimp Wrap - A fantastic blend of fresh vegetables/greens, noodles and a generous serving of freshly sautéed delicious prawns, all wrapped in a warm and flavourful crepe! Amazing flavours, sauce and seasoning. I m addicted! Can t wait to try the Poké bowls! So happy to have found this treasure of a place!

Wow!!!! Yummy!!!!!!!!

One of the best meals Ive ever had! So fresh and so good!

I was curious about this restaurant and Im so glad I went there! Such nice choices and I could watch our poke bowls being assembled and have a friendly conversation with the lovely food service person. When we opened the bowls at home, they were absolutely delicious, fresh, and so tasty! Looking forward to returning again soon Parking: Parking available on the street

Im full after this poké, and I feel good having eaten it. Vegetarian options: Easy to omit the meat of any bowl.

Stopped by while visiting and was very impressed. Poke, wrap, and Mac salad were all delicious and were large servings. The woman serving us was very friendly and took care into putting together the dishes- the poke looked like something out of Instagram. And she gave us a small slice of pie because they had some extras! Highly recommend.

I was in Duncan from out of town and decided to try Aloha bowl, I was incredibly happy with the place at first glance. The men inside working were very nice and welcoming and they made sure to say they were thankful for my purchase! Best poke bowl I ve had on the island. The bowl was nothing but fresh ingredients which were absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back :) Thanks again!!

Love this place, and its people and their service! Food is amazing, North shore shrimp, katsu chicken and tuna poke bowls are the best, grilled cheese a second up though!

Super polite staff. The food was fresh, filling, and tastes great. I will definitely be back.

Fresh and Tasty bowls! Great and friendly staff. The Banoffee Pie is amazing!! And the patio is a perfect place to enjoy them.

Fresh & flavourful!

Fresh and light with expectational flavors! So glad to have this as an option in town.

Very flexible with what my dietary requirements. Water was given free of change. Very helpful staff. :)

Absolutely wonderful food. I highly recommend the Kalua Pork, it tasted wonderful and the serving was big (There are vegetarian options too). Over all just an amazing experience.

This place is amazing! Such fresh delicious food!

This new restaurant serves the MOST amazing food! We loved the ahi/salmon poke bowls, the Spam musabe, the Chicken Glass noodles, the Kalua wraps - the Banoffee Pie is the most delicious dessert I have ever had in my life - and that includes desserts in Paris!

fresh and delicious, packaging is great, dessert is sumptuous

Fresh fresh fresh!! Great food, great people!

We sure enjoyed our visit in Downtown Duncan. Really tasty food and great humoured staff!

Amazing food and drinks , the big taste of Hawaii in a small restaurant nestled in downtown Duncan !

I went there today for the first time and everyone was so friendly and nice! The tuna poke bowl was delicious, full of various vegetables, rice and tuna!

Great Hawaiian style food, friendly staff. Had the Kalua pork plate and ahi tuna poke. Both were fresh and very flavourful.

Great healthy food options gonna try kahuna burgers next

EVERYTHING I ve tried has been the most delicious thing I ve ever had! The Basil Ginger Lemonade is awesome! The North Shore Shrimp! The Kalua Pork and the combo poke bowl - ALL!! SO!! DELICIOUS!! Every flavour is intentional. I ve never left even one bite on my plate - I m in the clean plate club! Staff is so friendly, food comes quickly. What a wonderful and unexpected surprise in Duncan!

Visiting from Ontario for the summer, I have never had Hawaiian cuisine or poké bowls before and I can gladly say I was not disappointed! The food is delicious, fresh and staff are very friendly. They have vegan options here as well so there is something for everyone. I highly recommend this place!

Omfg this food is to die for fresh fresh fresh and all made to order not frozen from a a basic premixed bag seriously if you have gone your Missing out also check out their other restaurant Kahuna Burger just around the corner!

Been here a few times since they opened this summer and I have not had a bad dish yet! the owners are very welcoming and chatty and you cant wait to try something new every time you go. I highly recommend the kahula bowl if you like pork and the north shore bowl if you like shrimp.

Got our order mixed up, however it was great food and good service.

Very tasty and creative approach to both poke bowls and wraps. This is a real gem and well worth the extra search to find it in old town Duncan.

Fantastic food and people.

First time having their amazing meals tonight ! My family loved them , cant wait to try more . Thanks for the great experience .

I ve loved everything they have done up until today, disappointed but I m sure it was just an off day!

We stopped in Duncan for the amazing candied salmon from Wild Bills and decided to make an second stop for grub. We were so pleasantly surprised that we chose what we think is the place we could have found for our needs at the time. Wow! Everyone was saying yummy between bites and smiling. Except for one friend who ordered the non-meat pulled pork salad and the meat one arrived. He could tell right away though bc it was at a flavour level that he knew didnt exist yet for ethical vegetables. Everyone laughed and we carried on North to our motel.

Service is excellent, food is even better- very fresh, authentic and bursting with flavour! The poke bowl was great and bonoffee pie is a must for dessert. You won t be disappointed!

Incredible food with exceptional ingredients. So delicious, healthy, and refreshing. Plus the best dessert I ve had in years.

The food is very good and well presented, the menu is attractive and of good quality. The only draw back is the patio seating, limited in space and void of protection for the elements. It sprinkled when we were there and we had to move to a tight corridor area to keep from getting wet. No indoor seating available. Ideal place for take out.

Foods not too bad but the mold on the pineapple upside down cake I got in my take out (Friday September 24) is a deal breaker. Not even going to try again.

Just had the most wonderful surprise in finding Aloha Bowls. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Bowl and it was one of the best I have ever had. Definitely a treasure on the Duncan food scene. Definitely encourage you to check them out!

First time here! Absolutely fantastic food!! Check this place out! Seriously deeeeeelicious! New since May of this year. Highly recommended

Wasnt that great

Unfortunately I returned for a second time with 3 others and we were told they had forgot to turn on the rice cooker so we waited about a half hour for our order. The bowl I was served the rice was cold. I m assuming my bowl was made before they realized they were out of rice and instead of remaking the bowl when the rice was ready they served the cold entree. It was horrible. Cold rice is not very appetizing. Spent over a hundred dollars and left extremely disappointed Probably will not return

Very unique and fresh tasting food.

OMG this was so good! We had the tuna and salmon bowl and a pork wrap and they looked so good, but tasted So Much Better! All the ingredients are so fresh and the poke bowl is one of the best I ve ever had ever, including in Hawaii :) And did I mention deserts?? so yummy! and in house made juice and ginger lemonade too This is definitely our new favourite go to place for food whenever we are on a road trip in those parts of the island

Combo bowl healed me spiritually, emotionally, and physically

Their bowls are INCREDIBLE! I drive back and forth up the island a lot and this will be my new go-to place to eat. An absolute hidden gem, I can t say enough about how delicious their bowls were. Can t wait to stop by again! Thank you!!

Insanely good food. We stopped by chance here and could not have been happier that we did. Every thing we ate was to die for and service was great and quick. One of the best meals I ve had whilst visiting the island. You have to get the passion fruit cheesecake

Amazing delight! We will be back!

Could make my own.

Best poke on the island for sure, rice was awesome some sort of black sea salt magic made the whole bowl extra flavorful. Sad we have to travel to Duncan to get poke now, but totally worth it.

Extremely friendly owner, and great ambiance/food. Must visit - we will be back!
