    Loco Moco
    april m.

    Food was amazing. Service was also amazing. The place was clean, lots of workers to keep it running efficiently. Definitely a great experience and can't wait to return.

    My favorite breakfast joint ever! I love the outside dining and food came out within 10-15 minutes! I always have to get a French toast because it's not too sweet and shareable!

    Ube Coconut Pancakes Loco Moco
    Nachelle M.

    Came for the ube pancakes, and they did not disappoint. The ube flavor wasn't artificial and the coconut syrup added just the right amount of sweetness. The pancakes themselves were soft, bouncy, and had a great texture reminded me a little of mochi. Definitely the highlight, I'd give them a 4/5. 2/5: The loco moco, on the other hand, was just okay. It was lacking in gravy, which made it feel a bit dry, and some of the rice was hard. Not something I'd order again.

    Mushy/hard rice. Had to ask for new rice because it tasted horrible.

    Never in my life have I eaten somewhere where the rice was mushy in some bites, and hard and undercooked in other bites. I ordered the loco moco and everything but the rice was good. The restaurant gave me new rice which after I complained and it tasted better than the first. Their food is normally spot on so not sure what happened.

    Ube Coconut Pancakes and loco moco

    Came on a Sunday morning so expected to be busy but overall did not take too long to get our food. Stood in line to order and then was given a number to leave on the table. Lots of seating outside and servers were able to bring the food out in less than 10 minutes. Lots of seating, especially outdoors so very dog friendly. Ube pancakes were very soft, coconut flakes were cooked into the pancakes and on top. Not too sweet as well. Loco moco was pretty decent, typically what you would expect but the hamburger patty was slightly dry. Would definitely come back for a quick and affordable breakfast option!

    Great breakfast spot! I was thrilled to see gluten friendly pancakes and waffles on the menu-- and there are lots of other appealing options too. My husband was super happy with his katsu curry. They also offer lots of different coffees and teas. I had the Hawaiian latte and it was a treat. The interior features bright, contemporary decor with sunny yellow accents. I've eaten here for a quick weekday lunch and found the seating ample, but it was predictably more crowded when we came for Sunday brunch. No problem, because there's plenty of outdoor seating too! Service was efficient and friendly. Looking forward to many more breakfasts here.

    This is my go-to spot when I want to avoid huge crowds and long waits. The quieter atmosphere definitely doesn't reflect the quality of the food. I think it gets overlooked because it's a bit tucked away, but it's honestly a hidden gem. I've enjoyed all of their savory dishes, and their pancakes are some of the best around. The coffee is a little too strong for my personal taste, but their lattes are always delicious.

    Breakfast Egg Burrito
    Daph H.

    On a sunny weekend, Aloha Stacks is a great place to grab brunch. The line was out the door, but moved quickly. You order at the counter and then take your number to a table. They have indoor and lots of outdoor seating available. I tried their breakfast burrito, which at $12 is one of the cheapest around. It includes your choice of protein (bacon, Portuguese sausage, kalua pork, sausage, spam or mixed veggies) with eggs, cheddar and potatoes and comes with a side of refried beans and chips. It's one of the smaller ones out there, but at that price you can't argue. I chose kalua pork and there was a good amount in there. The salsa verde that comes with it is great, and really adds an extra oomph. My husband got the chicken teriyaki plate ($16) which came with two scoops of rice and mac salad. They use chicken breast so it's healthier, but not as flavorful as dark meat. Would like to come back for those ube pancakes and some Portuguese sausage! Ample parking the lot.

    Loco Moco w/ Fried Rice
    Christine N.

    I've been here 4x in a month. My daughter and I stopped by to have brunch with my my gfs after their Pilates class. We loved it so much. Then came back with the rest of the family and then 2x with my work buddies. Each time I've like everything we ordered. I tasted my friend's dishes too and I can't say I found anything I didn't like. 01. Blueberry Pancakes $4 (single stack) - 5 Stars - Fluffy and loaded with fresh blueberries, not the frozen ones. You can see the fresh blueberries in whole form. Light and fluffy, perfectly cooked. I get at least 1 pancake at each visit. 02. Breakfast Burrito - 4 Stars - Solid burrito and a good size. You can customize it to your liking, I got mine with Portuguese Sausage. The salsa that comes with it was tasty. 03. Strawberry N' Cream Pancake (kid's meal) $8 - 4 Stars - Great deal for the kids. The portion was big enough for an adult. 04. Chicken Katsu Waffles - 3.5 Stars - The Katsu was crispy (not seasoned enough) and the waffles were ok. Our least liked item from our visit. 05. Turkey Avocado Melt w/ Tater Tots - 4 Stars - Oh the Tots won me over. I haven't had a Tater Tots in so long. Good as I remembered. The turkey sando was simple but good. The bread was toasted perfectly. 06. Loco Moco w/ Fried Rice - 4 Stars - We sub the white rice for fried rice which is the way to go. The gravy was seasoned well and the eggs are done to your preference. If you want more gravy, just ask for more. PARKING - Lots of parking in the plaza so don't worry. CUSTOMER SERVICE - The staff are super friendly and always willing to help. The recognize you after a few visits. FOODS - I am a true fan. I haven't found a breakfast/brunch spot that has a great menu, good tasting foods and friendly service. This one checks all of my list. Food is tasty. Their drinks are good too. VERDICT - If coming 4x within a month doesn't speak how much I like them, I'm not sure what will. Try it out, it's definitely a hidden gem in Irvine/OC. I'll see you soon Adrian!!!

    I was treated to a brunch / lunch at Irvine for Aloha stacks. It's is unique fusion of American, Hawaiian, Hispanic breakfast. Portions are large, food is tasty. Overall the restaurant is fast food style, and they do bring your plates to your table. Service is friendly. Aloha stacks is located at busy plaza and it's not a big restaurant inside. It also shares patio seatings outside with the other restaurants in the plaza. Vibe is new, clean, and American fusion Hawaiian style breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant. Overall the taste on dish are good, and different enough to warrant visits.

    Ube coconut waffles
    Suzy N.

    Aloha Stacks is one of those spots that's easy to come back to when you're craving something sweet and satisfying. I ordered the ube coconut waffles along with an ube latte, and both came out to my table quickly and were exactly what I was hoping for. The waffles were fluffy with a light crisp on the outside, and the ube flavor was also fluffy and rich without being too sweet. The coconut paired really nicely and added a little extra texture that made each bite better. The ube latte was smooth, creamy, and not overly sugary. It was such a perfect balance with the waffles. Overall, it's a great place to grab breakfast when you're in the mood for something a little different but still comforting. Their menu also has savory options but I was here to satisfy my sweet tooth. If you're an ube fan, this is an easy recommendation, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Ube pancakes without coconut flakes
    Hailey F.

    This place has a casual vibe, great food, and plenty of outdoor seating. The staff at the register was friendly in spite of the long line on a Saturday morning. We ordered the chilaquiles and the ube pancakes -- instead of coconut flakes, I added banana slices. The ube pancakes are my favorite now. They were to die for. Amazing texture and flavor. Their Mexican hot chocolate and aloha latte were amazing, too.

    Loco Moco
    Frank F.

    Loco Moco is a dish that holds a special place in my heart as my first breakfast whenever I kickoff my trip in Hawaii. I was delighted to find Aloha Stacks, a local gem in a great part of Irvine in close proximity to my home. Aloha Stacks to satisfies my craving. Eating at the restaurant is an effortless experience being in a fantastic area with lots of parking. The Loco Moco is excellent pick. It a dish piled high with the perfect combination of white rice, egg, gravy and hamburger patty (or your protein choice) and a very satisfying portion. The meal instantly transports me back to the islands and tastes authentic. If your looking for great Loco Moco without the flight, Aloha Stacks is a must visit.

I found the cocktail to be slightly too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good (fragrant and well-balanced). The short ribs were tender and soft, cooked in a perfectly savory sauce with a hint of sweetness, and served over smooth mashed potatoes. The steak was also cooked and seasoned well. We all loved the maple pecan Brussels sprouts. I often find this dish to be overly oily or sweet, but this one was done very well. The Brussels sprouts were well-seasoned with the perfect hint of sweetness and cooked perfectly, not too soft or too crunchy. I will say that the restaurant's lighting was excessively dark. I don't mind dim lighting for ambiance, but it was so dark that I had to lean in close to my food and squint to see it clearly, which felt a bit excessive. Additionally, the green beans were slightly too old and fibrous, although they were cooked well. This was a shame because if they had used younger, fresher green beans, it would have elevated the dish and paired much better with the well-prepared meat. Overall great experience and would definitely come back! :)

    They closed Feb 15…read more We came here Feb 13. They had a paper on a podium written about their closure. And I truly believe that they are not really made out to be a full-service restaurant as much as I like their dedication and drive. I had a reservation at 7 pm. I checked in at 6:45 pm. At 7:25 pm, they brought us in and did not have a table ready for us. They made a table then after a table left 15 minutes later, they rearranged us. I do not understand why you offer reservations if you will not actually honor the system. Around 8 pm, we asked if we could order as they had only brought water. Listen I understand. You're closing soon. You only had 1 server for the entire restaurant the weekend of Valentines. You have to go lean on the busiest last weekend ..? I don't actually understand. When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.

The brunch menu was limiting, with only a few egg dishes, sandwiches, and breads. The French toast and waffle were nearly $20 each despite the small portions and standard toppings. *French Toast: the worst item of the meal. The bread had no flavor or egginess and left a strange sandy mouthfeel. The interior was so dry that it soaked up all the moisture in my mouth. A poor showing for a classic French toast. *Waffle: the batter was slightly sweetened but felt too dense. The fruit was fresh, although nothing about the toppings or overall quality stood out. *Steak Frites: hanger steak topped with chimichurri and fries. It was supposed to come with bernaise sauce, but I did not receive any. The steak leaned closer to rare rather than the medium rare I asked for. However, it was still tender, and the chimichurri was vibrant and herbaceous. I wished more sauce had been applied, as the dish was a bit dry. The fries were decent, though I would have preferred more crunch. Given the long wait, I expected much more from the dishes in terms of flavor and execution. I was disappointed by how flavorless and dry everything was.
