The Aloha Aina restaurant is located in Jalan Cigadung Raya, previously was located in Jalan
Diponegoro (near Dukomsel). The owner of this resto is Chef
Dimas Soeyono, who stayed in Hawaii for quite a long time learning how to cook authentic Hawaiian cuisines. As a true Urang Bandung (Bandungers, Bandungnese, or
Bandungiard), he had the guts to open a unique yet distinctive resto, that will
become an iconic ‘small hawaiian suburb’ in Bandung, or else in Indonesia I
think :)
At first, Aloha Aina caught my attention by its distinctive pinapple logo (which is trully hawaiian). The first chance I went to the new located Aloha Aina resto was on Friday, May the first, 2015 during the labor day break with family around 3pm that time, after we drove from Tebing Keraton on our way to Puncak Bintang, we stopped by this resto for late lunch.

Four of us gladly
arrived at the resto, past the lunch time, and it was not so packed with
people. Welcome by the cute tiki figurines near the toilet, we sat and order so
many unique menus, 8 of them since we were super hungry at that time. The price range is very affordable
around Rp. 25.000 (USD 3) and above for the meal, drinks should be cheaper.LOCO MOCO (beef patty with eggs + savoury gravy + rice) & ONO POKE (raw tuna + rice + garlic seasoning) were the best dual pack menus for me. For sure the other ordered other menu such as GARLIC SHRIMP, KALUA CHICKEN (chicken + risoto), SPICY IKA (spicy squid rica-rica + rice), and blueberry pancake for dessert (not so hawaiian but still got the ambience). They were excellent as always. Chef Dimas cooked all the meal by himself helped with his assistant, surely it would take some time to be finished and well prepared for us. But time sure flew by with the surrounding nuances, you could find the 1:1 hawaiian trolley, all hawaiian themed souvenirs and antique items, even a hood of an old Mercedes Benz.
I for sure recommend this resto to all of you, for families, for romance seekers, for heartbreakers, for young and old peoples. It is definitely worth a try. Now, there are not so many great and unique ambianced resto with affordable price is available in Bandung, but Aloha Aina is. Make sure, you should dress up Hawaiian-ly. It's more like it!
Aloha Aina resto can be accessed easily from:
1. Juanda (Dago): just go straight up to Dago Atas, pass the Old Dago Endah Golf Course. After a kilometers or so, right on the left (the house is on number 3) you’ll find a big pinapple logo. Yup there it is.
2. Cikutra: just follow the road from Cikutra Cemetery, go north to Jalan Cigadung raya, follow the road, and it is on the right (number 3) with big pinapple logo.
Check out my photos of Aloha Aina above, and enjoy your ‘small hawaiian suburb’ experience. Chef Dimas himself will surely greet and serve you with his best skills. Wait for us Chef Dimas, we will definitely come back to enjoy your dishes. Cheers :)
I
still remember when Aloha Aina had not been moved to Dago Atas. Aloha
Aina was originally located in Jalan Diponegoro (near Dukomsel). For my
consideration, the owner of this resto, Chef Dimas Soeyono, has made a
very risky situation by opening the only hawaiian cuisine in Bandung. As
a true Urang Bandung (Bandungers, Bandungnese, or Bandungiard), he had
the guts to open a unique yet distinctive resto, that will become an
iconic ‘small hawaiian suburb’ in Bandung, or else in Indonesia I think

At first, Aloha Aina caught my attention by its distinctive pinapple logo (which is trully hawaiian), but after the resto was moved to Dago Atas, the name changed into 3dolphins (which was also hawaiian, but honestly I prefer the pinapple one... hahahaha). The first chance I went to 3dolphins resto was on Friday maybe at the earlier months of this year.... and yup the resto was closed for Friday prayer, but of course after that they opened the resto again.
The last time we went (several of my friends with me of course) to this resto was two weeks ago, when we make a short weekend getaway to Bandung. For goodness sake, I should force my friend to try this Hawaiian cuisine, although they feel reluctant at first, when the story ended, I was glad that all my friend really enjoyed their ‘small hawaiian suburb’ experience.
That day was on Saturday, around 3pm that time, after we drove through ‘waterfall’ road (I always call Jalan Juanda a waterfall road, because it always drained with water whenever a heavy rain came). Five of us gladly arrived at the resto, past the lunch time, and it was not so packed with people.
