    Can't believe I'm just stumbling upon this, you've reviewed us quite a few times as I've gone through and watched several of your vlogs. My name is Jason Executive chef of Aloha Specialties and I am so very glad you enjoy our food. We work very hard to give the people the absolute best and keeping the local tradition alive as many Hawaiian restaurants have lost their way and abandoned the old school classics. Please visit again! On behalf of all of us Thank you! 🤙

It was a no sugar day so no cake this visit but ill be back. Ill put Konos Northshore Kalua pork over this one so you should definitely try it. They are in Summerlin.

    Yay!! One of our faves, Aloha Specialties, our "must eat" place since 2009! Back then, they had "serve yourself water/ice and to-go boxes". Have updated the premises nicely. Food just as good as back then! Will def be patronizing Leilani's Attic, tho, I always visit Beef Jerky Store annually. Hubby was delighted to see y'all at our fave place, like home away from home, and was very impressed by Lisa's descriptions of her every bite! The food at Straight Up looks delish and will be a must stop next year!
    Always enjoy your dining in Vegas.

We've ordered for take-out numerous times now. The family that runs it are the nicest people too. She makes all the cakes which are pure delish. Hubby does all the grillin' and always has a smile on his face. And yes, portions are large. Cannot go wrong with Straight Up!

    Great to discover new foods. ❤The shopping trip and straight up cafe was awesome. We don't have Hawaiian restaurants here in the UK. Thank you for expanding my universe 🎉🥰,xx
