The location is right by the water, making the atmosphere perfect. I recommend sitting on outside to maximize the atmosphere. Seating was very quick as we got here at 745am. It was already busy but amazing I recommend the moco loco as the main dish if you're hungry, it's the main breakfast of the Hawaiian. It's definitely recommended to only use white rice and always do the over easy eggs, this is the Hawaiian way and was also recommended by the bar tender! The fried pork were absolutely amazing, crispy and soft and not oily at all. The combination of running eggs, white rice and soy sauce with a hint of lemon citrus was the exact morning meal I needed because I was hungry! The mushroom omelette was solid. Not above nor below average omelette. Lastly we had the coffee with Kahlua and spicy rum and it was just the kick we needed to start our day.
What a wonderful breakfast menu. I had the Hawaiian Omelet which has pork in it and some kind of leaves and it was so delicious. The Macadamia Nut Muffin was good but it needs more of the nuts in it. The service was great. We went early and did not have to wait for a table. The cinnamon roll has a touch of pineapple flavor in it which was different but good. We had to sample the Red Velvet Pancakes, yes they are delicious 😋
This place was also recommended by our luau friends (Deana and the Marine) and I'm so happy they told us about it. We were greeted and placed on the waiting list and it took a minute I mean to the point where I went up to confirm they had the right number but granted it was a lot of people waiting but still. Anyways the food and good service was worth the wait. Don't let the long line or wait deter your from eating here! I love breakfast and this was top tier. I wish they'd put my icing between each pancake but it was delicious!!! Potatoes cooked perfectly. Pancakes very silky soft fluffy and full of the flavor of the red velvet. I ordered my eggs cooked hard and the were sooo good, perfect with the cheese melted on top. It was expensive $70+ but the portion size was decent and I had leftovers for lunch! I would 100% recommend.
If you love pancakes then this place is a must try. Located on the ground floor of the llikai Hotel in the marina area, not far from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. No bookings taken so we put our names on the list at the door and waited around 30 minutes for our table to be called. They are a bit short staffed but the staff that are there work super-hard and are fantastic. The cornbeef hash with poached eggs is the best I’ve had - it’s one of my all time favourites! The country tots are delicious too. But it’s the pancakes that take the cake here - they are huge , thick and delicious. We had a 1/2 stack each (one buttermilk and one Guava Chiffon) but had trouble finishing it. They are really excellent and worth the visit alone! Filter coffee was great too, and is bottomless. Highly recommended!
Our server (who's name I can't remember, but he was very tall) was fantastic. One of his other tables was a bit rude to him but he handled it with aplomb. We thought he was wonderful. The food was great. Our server recommended the crispy chicken sandwich to my boyfriend and he was very pleased. I got the homemade cinnamon roll and the garlic fries which were both very good.
