Start with crispy Karaage Chicken (karaage kana) with Kalua crema (kalua crema) and lime, or share Vegan Gyoza (vegaani gyoza) served with tangy ponzu sauce (ponzu-kastike). Chicken Gyoza (kana gyoza) offers a classic dumpling experience with savory chicken and fresh green onions (kevâtsipuli). The bowls are the heart of Aloha Ramen, from the comforting Pork Ramen (possuj ramen) with char siu pork (char siu porsas), shoyu broth (soijakastike-liemi), egg (marinoitu kananmuna), menma and shiitake (siitakesieni), to the spicy Salmon Ramen (lohi ramen) with crispy salmon katsu (lohi katsu), spicy miso broth (tulinen miso-liemi), naruto and kimchi (kimchi). Vegan and vegetarian options like Vegan Ramen (vegaaninen ramen) and Veggie Ramen (veggie ramen) feature inari tofu (inari tofu), soy milk broth (soijamaitoliuemi) and crisp bok choy (paksoi) for satisfying plant-based choices.

Beyond ramen, colorful poke bowls include Salmon Poke (lohi poke) with marinated raw salmon (marinoitu lohi), avocado (avokado), watermelon radish (vesimeloninraparperi) and furikake rice (furikake riisi), along with Chicken Katsu Bowl (kana katsu kulho) and Eggplant Poke (munakoiso poke) that blends caramelized eggplant (karamellisoitu munakoiso) and tofu (tofu). Fresh salads echo these combinations over mixed greens with passion fruit vinaigrette (passionhedelmä vinaigrette). Aloha Ramen rounds out each meal with house extras like steamed furikake rice and kimchi, plus a broad drink list featuring sodas, kombucha and beers to complement the bold Asian flavours.
