Tried Aloha Stacks and got the Captain Mac Nut French Toast and Ube Coconut Belgian Waffle. The place always looks packed, but there's usually seating available after you order. The wait for the food was long as usual, but the process is pretty simple,, you get a table number and they bring the food out to you. Water is also self-serve. The French toast was delicious! The bread was thick with a nice crispy exterior. The Ube Coconut Belgian Waffle was very soft and not as fluffy or thick as I expected, possibly because of the whipped cream on top. Most of the flavor came from the coconut and the syrup I added on the side, and I didn't get too much ube flavor. I was also a little disappointed that there was only a single strawberry on each dish. I probably wouldn't get the Ube Coconut Waffle again but it was still a nice experiment and I'm glad I tried it.
This is a solid brunch spot in Cerritos, and the long line goes to show how much people love coming here. I love their loco moco subbed with chicken katsu instead of the burger patty. It has a very hearty flavor and the eggs are a nice complement. Also can't forget about the POG juice as well to get the full Hawaii vibes. Their ube coconut pancakes are a must. They're not too sweet and the perfect amount of savory. There are indoor and outdoor seating, and you order at the front then find a seat with your number.
I dropped off my friends at LAX for a outgoing flight and it was a Saturday early morning. I was craving breakfast and had never been to any Aloha Stacks prior. Located at a large strip center, there was an abundance of parking available. I prefer the setup of how orders are placed at the counter and the staff brings out the food to your table of choice at the dining room, which is quite large and spacious. There's a self-service beverage bar and there's a condiment station too. We ordered the prime rib breakfast burrito and the Loco Moco with the hamburger patty for protein. My breakfast burrito was sizable and contained added protein of guacamole and the prime rib was tender and yummy. The loco moco was topped with requested medium cooked eggs and the yummy gravy was served on the side which I prefer. Portions were generous and filling. I'm looking forward to visiting another Aloha Stacks and trying their macadamia nut pancakes.
Their Hawaiian food is great. Long wait sometimes. You need to order your food before you can get a table. I tried the rib eye loco moco and it was one and done for me. I prefer the kalua pork loco moco or the classic burger patty.
Always a great breakfast - food and service! So many options, sweet and savory! Great coffee and tea drinks! Pancakes are amazing (especially their Ube Pancakes)! Portions are very generous! First time trying their salsa, very good! Can't wait unril.their Long Beach Store options! We drive to Cerritos for Aloha Stacks!
Great place for brunch always hits when you are craving Hawaiian brunch items daughter loves the Kalbi and crepes
I've been here a few times and the food never disappoints. They have a mix of authentic Hawaiian breakfast items and traditional.
This spot is located across the street from Cerritos mall. It's order at the register and they'll bring out your food. There's a good amount of tables that are spread out. It felt a bit cluttered though. I got to try the California omelette, breakfast burrito, and the Oreo pancake. The California omelette was good, but nothing too special about it. The breakfast burrito was stacked. My favorite was the Oreo pancake. I'm usually not a sweet breakfast girly, but this really hit the spot. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and topped with some Oreo chunks. The servers were sweet and attentive. Definitely a nice spot for brunch! Also good to note they do close at 2pm.
What an absolute let down. Been wanting to try this place out for years but they're always so busy that I have t had the chance. Came here on a Tuesday about 1230. The place was dirty. The tables smelled like dirty rags. The food was underwhelming and the portions are small for what you pay. I paid $21 for eggs, burnt Portuguese sausage and macadamia nut pancakes. The eggs had egg shells in them... The Portuguese sausage was burnt, and I've had better macadamia nut pancakes at Polly's! I will never ever come back here. I love supporting small businesses, especially.Island food being Hawaii is my home away from home. The person who brought us our food didn't even offer to bring us an extra plate. She saw that we were sharing our food, she didn't even offer to bring us any condiments when she saw that our table had none... didn't even ask us if we needed anything else.. don't. Waste. Your. Time. Or. Money.
I had a meeting that I was running late to so I need a quick nibble. I orded the kids meal which included fries and chicken Fingers. The chicken had a nice crispy seasoned coating it taste delicous. The chicken was juicy too. I also enjoyed ice ube latte with Carmel nice smooth and refreshing taste.
A craving for pancakes led my husband and I to "Aloha Stacks" in Cerritos. This place never lets you down. The customer service is good, the restaurant is clean and there is plenty of parking. The food is "Oh So Delicious" and worth every penny . It is across the street from Los Cerritos Mall in case retail therapy is needed. There are a lot of other restaurants and eateries available in case you get hungry after shopping as "Aloha Stacks" is only open from 6:30am to 2:00pm, 7 days a week. There is another location in Whittier. I recommend this restaurant.
Aloha Stacks takes a more no-frills approach compared to a lot of other Hawaiian spots, and it really shows in their loco moco. Instead of the usual sides like macaroni salad or steamed veggies, they keep it simple: a juicy burger patty, perfectly runny sunny-side-up eggs, all sitting on a bed of steamed rice and finished with a generous drizzle of gravy. That's it. It might feel a little stripped down if you're expecting the full traditional plate, but there's something satisfying about how straightforward it is. The focus stays on the core elements, and when those hit, you don't really miss the extras.
Where Aloha Stacks really shines is the pancakes--they were delicious. Everything else tasted like your standard breakfast joint. Nothing bad, just nothing particularly memorable either. Seating is limited, and the place can get very busy during peak hours.

Have you ever gone to a place with a ton of great reviews, but a few bad ones, and think... it must just be a few salty customers? Well, I am here to tell you, they are not salty. They are right. The food looks better than it tastes. I am so disappointed. The ribeye could have been better seasoned, the eggs were overdone, too crispy on the edges, hence, too oily. The chilaquiles sauce was good, but the $5 side of potatoes were not edible. The pancakes were solid which I am grateful for. Upon ordering, I was told the ice coffee had refills which I ordered and then felt deceived for after learning it was for the black coffee only. I paid 2 rounds of .89 cents per refill to have vanilla syrup added. Thankfully, creamer was supplied at no extra cost. This place gives Poached or a fresh restaurant vibe, but it is far from it. The quality is fast food and the customer service could use a lot of help! Overall, I don't plan on returning and wish I had listened to the few reviews that spoke truth. I do not understand how people wait hours to try this place. This place is just HYPE. Next! read more

Ono Hawaiian brunches and plate lunches! The Captain Mac Nut French toast and ube pancakes were unique and so delicious! I will definitely get the Captain Mac Nut French toast again since my kid ate most of mine instead of eating her kid's plate. There's usually a line out the door and it's order at the counter, then hunt down a table. If you go on the weekend, either come early/late or at least don't come starving since it might be a little bit of a wait, but the line goes relatively fast. Overall, it's a very popular local spot with relaxed atmosphere and great food! read more
I've been here twice. Once for a "to go" when I tried their famous ube pancakes and yes, they were yummy! The second time and most recently, on 06-21-24. I met a friend here and had the Guava Toffee French Toast. Another very unique Hawaiian inspired breakfast item. My friend had the Hibachi Shrimp, but unfortunately was disappointed because she thought it would be more like Givonnai's Shrimp Truck in Hawaii. These shrimps were just grilled or pan fried in butter and garlic and sauteed with mushrooms, and when I saw her entree, I commented that it did look more like Hibachi shrimp. They appear to be previously frozen shrimp. Nothing to write home about. Just a note that this is a walk up, pay, seat yourself kind of restaurant. They do bring your food to you, but they expect you to get your own drinks, water and "to go" containers. read more

Haven't been to this place in a while and had brunch here with some friends and it was good. Lots of options and variety on the menu which is cool. It was pretty busy for a Monday morning for dining in but food came out at a decent time. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. I have always thought that this place was okay and I still think that but I really appreciate all the island inspired dishes as well as fusion ones! I'm a huge fan of loco mocos and decided to order the loco moco with chicken katsu. It was okay, I probably should've gotten it with the hamburger patty. Chicken katsu was crispy and both this, and the gravy were good but I've had better. 3/5 I'd say this is a good place to catch breakfast/brunch if you want island inspired eats as well as classic American breakfast options too! read more
I've been wanting to try this place for a while but long lines put me off. We decided to wait in line and it flew by, service is quick and efficient which is great. They have unique pancake like banana macadamia and Ube flavor pancakes. They have mexican breakfast with Hawaiian twists which I like. My partner had the banana macadamia nut pancakes and a veggie omelette I had the breakfast burrito with kalua pork, this also comes with a side of chips and beans. The burrito was good not crazy big but the flavor was good and overall the portion was ok. My partner loves the pancakes and I had a try too I can vouch for them as well. Good flavor, fluffy, just want you want from pancakes. The veggie omelette was good as well. She was a fan. Ambiance is nothing special they can do more to be honest but there's plenty of seating inside and there's some outside seating as well. The important part is the food is good and you'll for sure get pancake flavors you won't get elsewhere. Would I come back. Yea I would. I need to try their loco moco since that's my go to dish. read more

I was influenced by the crowds and great reviews but I was fooled. We had an omelet, loco moco, and coffee. Omelet wasn't anything to be thrilled about, the real review was for the horrible attempt at a loco moco. By far worst I've had, dry patty and soggy rice. As for the egg that was thrown on one was good and other exploded and cook decided it was fine to serve with broken shells. I'd stay clear of the hype. read more

Its just a hype. Customer service was poor. I ordered Lite Bite pancakes costing $12.50 on the board. Asked the cashier if I can order any pancakes and she said Yes. And so I ordered Ube pancakes with poached eggs and sausage. I didnt get a chance to check my bill until I sat down and low and behold , I was charged extra $5 for the ube pancakes. I alerted one of the servers and a cashier and a so called cup manager came to talk to me. They both insisted there is an extra charge for the pancake even though the menu on the Board didnt say so nor the cashier never mentioned it. Both personnel would like me to downgrade my chosen pancake even knowing they were at fault. THEY WONT GIVE A REFUND on the additional fee. They have been in business for so long and they never updated their menu board that there is fee for a specific pancake. The cashier was poorly trained as well and the so called managers for not handling the situation well. I was told the owner wasnt there. Mind you it was our first time in this restaurant due to the reviews on Yelp. It was a lie. As for the Ube pancake. It isnt worth it. Just get a regular pancake. I didnt taste a slight Ube in there . Its food color plus colored condensed milk as a sauce. They shd have added some HALAYA to make it taste authentic. Its fake. Coffee wasnt good either. The food is too pricey for the quality you get. We had to wait a long time for our food and the appearance of the poached egg was horrible. There are better cafes in the area with better and excellent customer service . The bathroom needs some cleaning as well. I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Dont spend your money here. read more

Aloha stacks is a beloved Cerritos staple. We love coming here for the good vibes and eats. Everyone there is kind and friendly, attentive and ready to assist you with an extra plate, utensils, or whatever you need. This last visit, I tried their carnitas chiliquiles which was really good, but not enough carnitas. It came with a serving of steamed rice which confused me but remembered I was at a Hawaiian restaurant and not a Mexican restaurant. They offer a ton of other things so I probably wouldn't get this again. We also tried their Captain Mac Nut French toast. This was crunchy and so good! It was dry and definitely needed syrup but it was so good! To be courteous to other patrons they ask that you fall in line and order at the register before seating your party. They seem to clean tables quickly so that there are open tables available. There's also an outside seating area but it's been cold and windy lately! read more

Love this chain! Whether you're crazing for a traditional breakfast dish or you want a Hawaiian savory meal, this spot has got thoS cravings covered. You can order anything from chicken katsu, breakfast burritos. Fried rice, loco moco, pancakes and French toast. I love the ube pancakes, corn beef hash loco moco and Portuguese sausage breakfast burrito. It's great that you can almost modify most dishes with various choices of protein. It is a sit down restaurant with limited out door seating. The line can get long but moves fairly fast. Service is great ! Highly recommend if you live around this area. There are other locations in Newport Beach, and Irvine read more

Impressed with their food. Hawaiian food my experience is over salty or bland. But it's not the case here. Their loco moco is better here than I had in Hawaii. Their Ube coconut pancake was unique and good. Good parking, good ambiance and attentive friendly staff. One thing they could improve is the tater tots, lighten the amount of salt on that : ) Look forward to making this place a more frequent stop and trying other items read more

When you go to a resto on a busy day during peak hours, in this case brunch, becuase they're only for brunch hours my expectations lower on the quality, but I secretly hope the restaurant will prove me wrong. They didn't lol. Order extra ube sauce for the pancakes and butter because they only place the semi tacky (although still delicious with an overwhelming amount of purple coloring lol) sauce in the top pancake. And the cakes themselves were on the dry side. The loco loco is def not like Back Home in Lahaina's but it was also underwhelming also with a gravy that dries on the thicker side. Kind of underwhelming dish in general. Also patty to rice ratio could use more meat. I'm not sure either if they make their own patty here. Im guessing they don't . Musubi- they don't wrap the entire brick in seaweed, was bummed about this. Still a great option in the area for Hawaiian style plate lunch/brunch, but in my opinion the quality was not as I remember From when they first opened. read more

The most satisfying breakfast I've eaten and it was the Oxtail Loco Moco. I came here on a Sunday after Long Beach coverage from work & a little packed but the wait is worth it. A must to try the Oxtail Loco Moco for a first timer. Customer service was good and got seated outside. Nice place & restroom was cleaned. I can't to come again to bring my family so highly recommended read more

I found this place on yelp. I was so excited to go since i saw their menu. I took my daughter. She wanted the moco loco and i couldnt wait to get the spam breakfast burrito. Loco moco was good. Service was also good. Here comes my issue. The spam burrito had almost no spam in it. The spam pieces were the size of a pencil eraser.....and in the first half of my burrito there was literally 4 pieces. And on the other half there was 5. In the picture you can see the second half of my burrito. You can see one piece of spam. There were five pieces that size. Crazy. I still might go back and give it another try but what a let down. I was so exited to that morning ... sigh...darn it. read more
You drive me loco moco Crowded on the weekends and somewhat hard to find parking too. Small restaurant with nice staff. **You'll see open tables with Reserved signs but once you order and pay for your food you can sit at those tables. Loco Moco Chicken Katsu- chicken katsu was good and had a good crunch but it was just ok with the loco moco sauce. It was better with the katsu sauce that you can ask for on the side. Macadamia nut waffle- a whopping $10 for one waffle, helloooo inflation :') good but nothing special May return to try other items if I'm ever in the area. read more

It was time to visit Aloha stacks again for some great food. We got our car serviced and decided to grab something to eat. I ordered the blueberry pancakes with a side of portuguese sausage. They both were good and tasty. We were there on 7-26-24 around 1pm and wasn't crowded at all. They have a large selection of food to choose from. Definitely a great place to eat and enjoy some great food. read more
We came across Aloha Stacks Island and quickly said yes to trying it. There was a line so had to be good. It's so busy that you order first & they'll give you a number -- that's when you go find your table. They all have reserved on them until they give you that number. Kinda works out perfectly, we haven't had to wait for a table yet and they've been busy each time we've gone. Loco Moco -- oh my! You can get it with different kinds of meat. I am picky, so I chose the hamburger one and DAYUMMMM it was really really good. Pretty too, which I don't care about by my husband does so thought I'd throw it in for you visual eaters. It's very casual and almost fast food restaurant-ish, but not. You'll love it. Servings are pretty big. This Ube Coconut pancake is my favorite item. I can't seem to allow myself to order anything else since I tried it. lol read more

04.02.2024 - Anniversary breakfast for my Mom & Dad at @aloha.stacks I've been here before, but it was their first time here, and they enjoyed every bite! We had no leftovers to take home. From left right: *Iced Coffee *Ube Coconut Pancakes *Hamburger Patty Loco Moco *Kids Cheese Omelet with Fruit *Kalua Pork Omlette with Potatoes I must say, the Ube Coconut Pancakes were actually good and not overly sweet. They were pretty light and fluffy, too! I'd recommend it! You can't go wrong with Loco Moco. I couldn't quite decide what to eat so I went with a dish, I already know I'll like. They have different options of protein that you can choose from, too! My Dad said the Kalua Pork omlette was very filling. It was actually jammed pack with Kalua Pork. My daughter likes egg and cheese, so that was a win for her. I highly recommend this spot, especially if you're looking for that good hawaiian meal. Keep in mind, their hours of operation is only from 6:30 a.m.-2:00 p.m. There's a good amount of seating area inside, but it does get busy. The earlier, the better. Also, you order your food first at the counter and then find a table. read more

I'm really disappointed on the customer service from Maria. I called because there was hair in my $29 kabli plate. She was just not helpful and rude. I find that super disgusting having hair in my food. I spent $70 at this establishment. I lost my appetite and threw all the food away. read more

Aloha Stacks is one of my favorite breakfast spots and Hawaiian menus. You can't go wrong with any of the items. Food is prepared with care, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Ample indoor and patio seating is available. This location gets busy for both dine-in and take-out, but it's worth the wait. It has a very casual vibe and is a great spot to dine when the weather is perfect. A few of my favorites recently have been the Capt. Mac Nut French Toast, breakfast burritos, and waffles. The spam musubi is also a nice classic treat. There are more items I'm looking forward to trying. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. There is also plenty of parking located at a plaza near Target. read more
We came to Aloha Stacks for breakfast and it was pretty good, but it didn't wow me like how other reviewers have written. Aloha Stacks is an order first, and then get seated after. We had no problems finding a seat. We had the breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage and it was not bad, but it wasn't very memorable. It came with tortilla chips and beans, which I thought was a little strange. Overall, just an OK burrito. The best part of the whole breakfast was the Hawaiian latte. It was made well and definitely tasted like Hawaii and hit the spot. read more
Have been wanting to try this place out for awhile now and finally decided to hop in amd give it a try. I ordered the ube coconut pancakes and my friend ordered the Loco moco. Service was quick and friendly, we order at the window and they give you a number to find a table and they will bring the food over to you. It's a decent size space with seating inside and a couple tables outdoors. The ube pancakes were very purple which is always fun! I am a big ube fan but not so much a coconut fan..with that being said there is a lot of coconut shavings cooked into the pancake as well as sprinkled on top. I could do with less coconut (personal preference) but nonetheless it was great! The Loco moco was simple yet delicious. I'd say come here and try the different items they have. There is a lot to try on the menu (: Tip: they do close early! read more

It's definitely worth coming here just to try the ube pancakes. There's plenty of parking and seatings. There was a line which we waited in for 15-30mins. You order at the cashier before being seated. There are indoor and outdoor tables. The workers are very friendly and helpful. The place has 2 non gendered restrooms. Food: - $12 Ube Coconut Pancakes (10/10): this was amazing! although it may look very sweet, it is actually not. it was delicious and you can taste the ube. - Tater tots (9/10): crispy and delicious. came with protein, egg and sour cream - maui sunset ice tea: my friend got this and it tasted the same as POG read more

Are ube pancakes still on menu? Don't see in website menu
yea, its still on the menu.
Do your gluten friendly pancakes contain egg and/or dairy?
I don't know the answer to that but they are good. I would look on their website to see if they provide that information.
Do they still have the chicken katsu curry plate?
Do they allow dogs in their patio seating?
I saw a dog outside and it didn't seem like a problem. I don't recall seeing a sign either so you should be fine! Especially since some of the outdoor seating is out of the way from walkways so you could totally have your dog present without even…
Do they have patio dining as of 1/30/2021?
There is tables on the side of the place
Yelp has their phone number listed as the one that has 774. Yet, a reviewer and Google says it's the one has 459. Which number is right? I am going to lean towards to the reviewer/Google one.

Is this place related to Stacks Pancake House in Irvine?
Same company , great food !
