    Stopped by this morning and still enjoyed their food!! Service was friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable as well. Pancakes were extra good today.

    Order at counter

    12-24-24 a Christmas eve breakfadt, thanks Doc for treating dad and I. We came here cuz the line at AM was out the door and hubs had a 9 am pt appointment across the street. Few tables were occupied at 8 am but by 8:30 am the line to order was getting long. Food came out quickly but the hamburger and bangers were on the grill a bit too long- little bit charred.

    Had breakfast here with a friend. This place used to be known as Koa Pancake House in the top level of the Aiea Shopping Center. It wasn't crowded when we arrived but the small place started filling up fast. You order at the back by the register. We both had the EGG's and THINGS. Mine was with Vinha d'alhos. Taste was okay - not a mouth watering flavor. Not sure if there were two eggs or just one. But it wasn't over-easy like I asked for. Friend had Portuguese sausage with fried rice. We both enjoyed our meals. Wide selection of breakfast and lunch items. Prices are reasonable and good portion. Woman taking my order at the register was patient and polite.

    Bananan pancakes

    Food was good. Ordered the aiea moco eggs scrambled and gravy on the side. A short stack banana pancakes that were so delicious! Service was quick, lady server was nice and brought the food to our table. Great service! Inside is small and can get crowded and may have to wait for seating, but not today.

    I ordered food here to take out for me and my parents. Ordered their full stack of macadamia nut pancakes which comes with 5 pancakes! Also ordered their 1 egg (scrambled) with fried rice and Portuguese sausage and their corn beef hash with eggs and fried rice. Everything was delish and food portions was generous! Prices are good too! Will def be back!

    Was pleased with this meal..steak done just like I like it; eggs were done perfectly as well. Good food and good price..

    Front entrance

    This is a small place with friendly service. We are tourists and were on our way from Waikiki to the Dole Plantation but needed a place to stop and eat. I just picked what happened to be closest to us. The place is up an escalator, there's no restroom inside but they'll give you a key to the one in the shopping center. You order at the front and they'll bring the food to you. Prices are decent. $15 omelet, $12.50 for eggs, 5 turkey links, and 3 fluffy pancakes. Worth it. The pancakes are excellent!! I was traveling with some picky eaters and we were all impressed. Good strong coffee as well. Would definitely return.

    Located at the Aiea shopping center, second floor, The local breakfast, pancakes and lunch plates are cheap, but they were too oily and basic. Nothing really stood out for me. The servings were average, and didn't make us satisfied because it was a little overcooked and a little chewy. Limited seats, and a line forms in the middle of the booth. No wipes to wipe the tables, and garbage can is on the right of the counter where we ordered. Employees were nice and accomodating, but we had to wait a while for our food. Overall this place is ok, but I don't think I'll frequent here. Lots of parking since it is at the aiea shopping center.

    Koa burrito
    Abigail A.

    Love their burrito, took it to go and I was pleasantly surprised they sliced it AND packaged two dippings, sour cream and salsa. The price point is just right and the portioning is always enough for me. Very happy and will probably try their other burritos. They were busy but the service was quick!

    Not sure how to get Yelp to change this restaurant to AIEA PANCAKE HOUSE. Everything looks the same except "Koa" has been replaced with "Aiea" on the signs in the windows and inside. Menu looks the same, too. We went on a Sunday morning around 10:30. We seemed to have come in between the early morning diners and the lunch crowd. When we were walking in, several diners were leaving. As we ate our food, a line of new diners came in. Some were getting take out. What I like - they still serve Scottish Bangers! I only know of one other pancake place that does. The food was arranged very nicely on our plates. Nicer than before, I liked that tiny improvement. Quality of the food and the service was still the same. Door was open and it was a little warm. I guess the AC wasn't working well. But we were ok - a little warm is not the same as hot. We enjoyed our meal and of course will be back.

The roasted chicken - requires 20 minutes to prepare - gyoza (chicken or beef) and the orange chicken are deliciously delectable, and are my favorites. The fried noodles (no bacon is available) are the perfect accompaniment to the aforementioned entrees. Rice is also available. Chelsea is extraordinary at providing consistent superior customer service. She never fails to greet customers promptly and kindly. Chelsea wears many hats as the greeter, server, barista and overall front of house manager. It can be extremely busy, but Chelsea hustles and does her absolute best. So bring your appetite and a dose of patience. Online ordering is a great option. On your initial visit it may be difficult to find, but the discovery is well worth the hunt. It can be daunting to find the entrance, walk through a corridor and netting. But don't be deterred nor frustrated. I highly recommend trying the Sweet Corner Cafe. Say hello to Chelsea for me.

We only waited a couple of minutes for a table and our food came out in about 15 minutes. Every employee we interacted with from our server to the bussers were friendly and welcoming. The ribeye loco moco was the highlight (they were out of the prime rib). They give you a FULL SIZED ribeye (maybe 10oz?) instead of a small piece of steak like how they do with a hamburger patty or two, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered mine medium, but it unfortunately came out very well done. Thankfully, the rich gravy, perfectly cooked eggs, and the $3 pork adobo fried rice upgrade more than made up for it. That fried rice alone is worth ordering. We also shared the chicken and waffles, and the fried chicken was seasoned really well with a great crunch without being overly breaded. My only "complaint" other than the steak temp was that it came with honey but no syrup. I understand the choice, but I wish they at least offered syrup on the side (granted I didn't ask for any). Our bill for the ribeye loco moco and chicken and waffles was around $55, which felt fair for Hawaii especially when you get an entire ribeye. I will definitely be back to try the prime rib loco moco!

It was quite windy the day that we went so hold onto your napkins and forks! Everything is served on paper plates with plastic ware when you 'dine in.' Not sure if they just provide you with tin foil or a clamshell for takeout. As for the food, the Korean Street toast is a little bit of savory and sweet, on a pillowy soft milk bread. I can see why this is a BTS favorite. And that Yobo Toast, oh my goodness, I am living for their version of a French toast with a lovely pear compote on it. The burrito was packed with lots of meats and cheese, though I think a spicier, tangier kimchi and/or gochujang aioli may have given it a little more rounded out flavor for me. As for the waffle bap, I personally am not a fan of crispy rice, but I appreciate this concept as the flavors were there. The owners were welcoming, accommodating and made us feel like home. We'll definitely be back to try that Garlic Shrimp they kept talking about!

The Forty Niner is in a small building that has about 7 or 8 tables inside and a few more on the back patio. It has a simple, local atmosphere. But, it is on our list of places we try to get to every time we are in Hawaii.

    We all ordered the same burger. Double cheese burger…read moredeluxe with dirty sauce The Grilled Apostle: 6/10 Ordered the double cheeseburger deluxe with dirty sauce from Forty Niner Restaurant. It looked huge and inviting. The burger itself tasted good as it was cooked with bread mixed in it to make it soft but once you started eating it, the burger fell apart. The bun was thin so it was messy as the sauce and burger started falling out and you needed a lot of napkins. Some people like it messy but it's not my thing. The onions and pickles were a perfect match. Too much American cheese. ________________________________________________ The Premium Purists: 5/10 I was looking forward to trying the burger at Forty Niners and hoped it would be an old fashioned/traditional style deluxe burger. It definitely had the look and right toppings but the patty was a little disappointing. After my first two bites the patties crumbled into pieces and the texture seemed off. It was too mushy and lacked good beef flavor. After learning they mix breadcrumbs in their burger patty, I think the patties I got were not mixed well and the ratio of beef and breadcrumb was off. That is probably why the texture was off, it lacked beef flavor, and crumbled. I would honestly give it another try and go with a single patty. ________________________________________________ The stack analyst: 7/10 Tried the double cheeseburger(dirty style) at 49ers and it was delicious. The fried pickles were the highlight for me. I love fried pickles and they worked really well on the burger. They also didn't hold back on the caramelized onions, which added flavor. The burger had four slices of cheese, so it was definitely rich. The patty had a nice sear on the outside, it did fall apart though. I would've liked a little more salt, but I know that comes down to preference. Bun was nothing special, just your standard setup, but it got the job done. I'd definitely come back and order it again! ________________________________________________ Double stack daddy: 6/10 The burger had a solid foundation, but it was missing flavor and could've used more seasoning. The biggest downside was the bun--it fell apart after the first bite, making the rest of the meal messy. Not a bad burger, but it didn't stand out, and there's definitely room for improvement. ________________________________________________ Bruddah big buns: 4/10 Da patty was mushy. ________________________________________________ Captain messy hands, keeper of the drip: 8/10 I found a winner! This fresh, hand-formed double cheeseburger delivered exactly what I look for--thick, juicy patties with the drip. Every bite was messy, flavorful, and napkin-worthy. It started falling apart halfway through, but that's a compliment in my book. Nothing fancy, just an honest burger executed right. This is the kind of burger that keeps you coming back. CMH Rating: Drip Approved!
