    The line was very long, but well worth the wait. The service was outstanding and they managed the wait list perfectly. The omelet was so good and cooked perfectly and not scorched or brown. The pancake soufflé was also very good. A little disappointed in the lack of flavor in the Macadamia Nut topping. Would have liked to see some whole nuts.

    We definitely recommend this restaurant. We ordered the fresh fruit souffle, meat lovers omelet, French toast, side of bacon and 2 scrambled eggs. Everything was amazing! And the employees were all so friendly and caring! We traveled 30 mins just to eat here. We arrived around 11:10am and there was no wait. We parked in the parking garage right next door and had no issues.

    Delicious breakfast. Omelets and salmon bagle are tasty. You won't be disappointed. Understandable why there is always a long line to be seated. We signed in 10 minutes before they opened and were lucky to get the last seat for 4. Very friendly staff and waitresses.

    This place has the best pancake I ever had in my life. During my vacation in Honolulu back in January 2022, this is one of the place I brunched at with my friends. There was an hour long wait to get seated, and it was worth it after having the food. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Salmon and my friends and I also ordered the Coconut Souffle Pancake for all of us to share. I didn't exactly love the salmon but definitely loved the Coconut Souffle Pancake. That I wish Honolulu was close to me so I can go back and have it again whenever I want. >_< The staffs are nice and friendly and the service is good also, from what I can recall. I loved that the portion was large too. Thus, made the price worth it.

    We arrived at 8am and waited for 40 minutes. There is a sign up sheet outside that you add your name and number in your party. They call you when space opens up. Our server was very friendly and made a great recommendation for the lobster benedict. We also had mimosas and the delicious coconut shrimp. We're planning on coming back before our trip is over!

    This is the best breakfast we had in Hawaii! I ordered the Kalua Pork Benedict (If you like savory breakfasts, order this. Just do it.) with a Guava Juice and my partner ordered the Coconut Soufflé Pancake (which came with Macadamia Nuts, Orange, and Whipped Cream). The service was also great- multiple people checking in with us and everyone was so friendly, helpful, and timely. TIP: Be prepared for a long wait and stay close to the door so you can hear your name being called.

    Aloha Kitchen is absolutely worth the wait! We arrived at 11 am on a Tuesday and waited about 30 minutes for a table. Service was quick and the food came out shortly after we ordered. We had the pork Benedict. It was a great choice, my only regret is not ordering their famous pancakes. The pancakes coming out of the kitchen looked AMAZING. The only thing not too exciting was the coffee, it’s $5 for hot or $6 for iced. I would probably skip the coffee on my next visit. If you’re going with another person or a group, I suggest ordering a variety and sharing so you can try the savory and sweet menu items! Overall, it’s a really fun and laid back vibe!

    The breakfast here is as fresh and delicious as can be. My girl ordered the souffle pancake which was soft and delicious. I ordered the meat lovers omelet which was a legitimate omelet for meat lovers and it came with a side of the best country potatoes I have ever tried. They were crispy, yet fluffy at the same time. The POG juice was also very refreshing and delicious. The only improvement I would recommend for this restaurant is to up portion size of the country potatoes. Wasn't too much on my plate, but overall I'd highly recommend this restaurant for anybody with a good taste pallet. 5 out of 5 in my book as far as quality and taste. 👍

    This is a gem 💎 I ventured off the resort & walked here & it was soo worth it. They have a walk-up situation where u sign in at a table & wait outside. The line moves pretty fast though. Service inside was excellent. The staff was fast & all worked together well. The fruit soufflé pancakes I got were so amazing. They’re huge & different than any I’ve ever had before. The fruit was so fresh & it was almost too pretty to eat. The guava mimosa I had also tasted super fresh. I’m only here for a week, but it was so good I might go back again.

    Got there around 10:30am & waited about 1/2 hr to get a seat! Totally worth the wait! The food was so authentic & the staffs were super friendly! Love my Benedict breakfast & it was far the best I’ve had! Plenty of lobster meat, perfectly seasoned! The home fries were bit greasy but the salad made it all balance out! Highly recommend it!

    Without a doubt 100% the best cafe breakfast I've ever had. The service was impeccable and so fast. The pancakes, out of this world. Salmon eggs Benedict, wonderful. Will most definitely go back. Don't be afraid of the wait, it goes quick and there is a wait for a reason, the food is so delicious. Perfection.

    Aloha Kitchen is a nice little spot nestled in between a few larger buildings. The dining area was very airy with beautiful aromas breezing past & teasing your senses and your appetite! I had a meatlovers omelet with fresh spinach and mushroom and the breakfast potatoes and it was delicious!! Also, the 🍍 mimosas are delightful!

    Spectacular food and such kind staff! The berry soufflé pancake was amazing and the side of potatoes were some of the lightest, yummiest potatoes I have ever had. My family loved their French toast and apple soufflé pancake as well. We all thought their food is 100% worth the wait!

    Fantastic breakfast! I won't need to eat for days probably! I noticed this place on my daily walk to the conference center because there is always a large crowd waiting outside. When you go, go early and don't forget to sign yourself in when you get there. We had the fruit and the banana strawberry souffle pancakes and they were delicious and huge. I also recommend the POG juice and the coffee, which was not as strong as in most other places here, but that me be just my experience. It's also very cozy and prices are fair.

    UPDATE 9/7/2021 New Flavor Strawberry Lemonade Soufflé Five stars ⭐️ Despite the long wait due to only 12-14 tables and a tiny kitchen it was worth it. The soufflé pancakes are the best! Not sure the last review is true, since they have signs specifically stating they don’t do take out , of any kind of take out ,except for leftovers the guests takes with them.

    We had breakfast here on our last day in Hawaii. There was a long line but it moved fairly quickly. We waited about an hour to be seated. The food was just okay, the best thing was the berry soufflé pancakes. The potatoes were dry and my eggs were runny even though I had asked for them to be hard. I recommend going early to get in line.

    First of all service was great!!! The loco moco was a perfect meal, the portugués sausage was delicious. The fluffy pancake was not what i expected it is literally a batter of eggs to fluff up and tastes like eggs with berries, so sad. Just warning yall! Other than that great experience!!!

  • 3/5 Michael E. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was good but nothing to special well at least for me as I just got the waffle with bananas. My girlfriend had the soufflé and she loved it, very foamy on the inside. Got some bacon and eggs on the side as well. $$ for just 2 people, it was good food but not that good for the price. Also if you come in the morning you will need to wait for a good 30mins or more depending on when you come. A board where you can put your name on is the first thing you need to do when just arriving there. Menus are provided outside while you wait. Friendly staff!

  • 5/5 Cynthia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend. Service was fast and friendly. We only waited about 20 minutes to have our party of five seated. Everyone ordered soufflé pancakes even though it was already lunch time and we were all extremely pleased. Two from our party had the berry soufflé pancakes, one had the banana pancake, one had the apple pancake and I had the coconut ones. The coconut cream they make for the pancakes is a must try if you are a fan of coconut. The pancakes are thick, fluffy and airy. Delicious! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. We were close enough to walk from our hotel so we didn’t have to worry about parking.

    One of the better and very popular breakfast places known for their souffle pancakes. Super well done and delicious. The whipped cream on top is house made. The potatoes were perfectly crispy and yummy. Con is that the Benedict muffins were a bit tough and the coffee options could be more fun. I recommend going early to beat the crowd.

  • 5/5 S M. 5 months ago on Google
    The food and the service was excellent. I recommend the souffle pancakes, definitely a must order. Go early there is always a line. We went 20 min before they opened and there were still 4 parties ahead of us.

  • 5/5 Maxine T. 4 months ago on Google
    So good! Souffle pancakes are a must. Big portion, and so soft! The coco macnut pancake had more cream and was tastier than the fruits one. We also ordered the Hawaiian and Kalua Pork burgers which were both delicious. Fruit juices were also great and very fresh - POG was the best one! We got there at 12:30pm on a Saturday and there was no wait at all. That being said, service was polite and friendly but a little rushed but we found it understandable since we showed up close to closing time they probably wanted to go home for the day. Parking is available in a garage next door called Canterbury Place Parking. Overall the food is worth it!

    Cute little breakfast stop. Expect to pay with cash and get there before 10am if you don’t want to wait in a long line. The staff is super nice. Huge portions of food. The food was so fresh and delicious. Within walking distance of several downtown hotels.

  • 5/5 Kelsey M. 2 years ago on Google
    We have never waited 45 minutes for breakfast before but I’m SO glad we did. This place is so delicious everything was absolutely perfect and I wish we would have had time to go back! My husband and I ordered multiple things we wanted to try and they all were perfect. 😋 They are also very Covid conscious, sanitizing tables and masking. 5/5

  • 5/5 Andrea R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very popular place. I waited for at least 40 mins. The food is definitely excellent in terms of the quality of cooking. The egg is cooked as requested (over medium), the gravy is thick and savory, and the patty is fresh. Nevertheless, the dish itself doesn't have anything special in terms of the composition of ingredients. People often have fried egg and sausage patties for breakfast, and loco moco essentially is just combining these two dishes with rice. Admittedly it is a well-cooked pleasant meal, but you’d better not hold your expectation high, imagining you are going to have something uniquely delicious.

    There was a line to get a table. But it moved pretty quick. The service was quick. The food was so ono. The portions were good, not too small or big. Perfect for brunch. They only open from 7:30A to 1P. I definitely recommend this place when you visit Oahu and stay around Hilton Hawaiian Village hotels.

  • 5/5 Kylie M. 2 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I went to Aloha Kitchen as our first breakfast meal in Hawaii. We loved it so much the first day that we planned to go back the day we left. The staff didn’t disappoint whatsoever. It’s definitely worth the wait!

  • 3/5 Apricity S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is ok but not deserve more than 10min wait. (It took me 45min) Will recommend island vintage coffee as brunch instead.

  • 5/5 Cheung A. 2 years ago on Google
    Alert for Long wait I’d say it worth the experience if you never had soufflé Taste amazing initially . But feel kinda out of it by the end. Maybe you should do one savory dish and one soufflé for a group of 2 unless you have hopeless sweet teeth! I know you ice cream for breakfast people are out there :) And yes first picture had the filter but second didn’t.
