Been here numerous times over the years and the consistency is on point. I haven’t tried something I didn’t like, from the Banana Pancakes to the Loco Moco, Kim Chee fried rice, the pastries etc. Everything I’ve tried on the menu was delicious, awesome customer service and overall great dining experience.

I’ve eaten here before but never reviewed them, so here we go! I’ve been on a waffle roll lately which is what brought me, my spouse and a friend here for breakfast. ATMOSPHERE: Having taken over the former Sam Choy’s spot, it’s a sizable restaurant with its infamous bakery up front, large central bar, open-view kitchen and mix of seating styles. This is the company’s second location of the five in their arsenal. RESERVATIONS: None taken but we easily got in for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 9am. PARKING: Free and adequate. MENU: American & Hawaii-style cuisine for all three meals. Beer & wine. FOOD: Butter Rolls I can’t believe these delicious suckers are given to every table! Warm, soft, buttery heaven. Waffard - $16.95 I’ve been on a waffle roll recently so this caught my attention. Available at four of their five locations (sans the original Kalihi eatery), it’s a quartered waffle with custard from their infamous Coco Puffs lathered in between. Loved the crisp & creamy waffles but didn’t care for the overly sweet custard. Accompaniments included fresh strawberries, blueberries, sliced almonds and whipped cream. Mushroom Omelet w/ Cheese - $16.95 I added ham to be mixed in for a whopping $6.50 (sides pricing). I didn’t care for it as the egg to filling ratio was way off balance as just two-eggs were used. There was also an over abundance of cheese. It was like eating cheesy ham & mushrooms with a hint of egg. I also upgraded to fried potatoes for $0.95 as hash browns aren’t on the menu. Expecting yummy seasoned homestyle spuds, I received pretty bland slices of kennebecs. A small salad accompanied but I didn’t touch it. Corned Beef Hash - $6.95 Made fresh and not from the can, the patty had good flavor albeit a bit peppery, with a crisp crust. SERVICE: Our female server was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Truly local-style. Waters and coffees were constantly topped-off. TIP: Their hamburger steak’s/loco moco’s popularities are well-deserved as they’re very legit in the authenticity department. OVERALL: If you’re looking for a Hawaii style-diner, they are it.
