My first visit. I've been to the Plumeria Cafe down in Laguna, same company so the menu is very similar. Lots of quality options to choose from. This location feels like a mix between a sit down restaurant and fast food restaurant; you walk up and order & pay to start, they give you your drinks and table number and then you seat yourself. They bring your food out to you. It was busy right at lunch time but the line of about 15 people moved quickly, only took a few minutes; and food came out within about 5 minutes, too, only complaint is that the eggs on my Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict were a bit cold, but still had runny yolks, so can't be too upset. Oh and the potatoes were very plain, no seasoning or anything cooked with them to boost them up. There is lots of seating, inside & (covered) outside, with low volume music playing. They even have POG juice and it was amazing! read more

Restaurant was very clean. Employees kept areas clean, the time we were there! Food was outstanding, my kids ordered: egg breakfast burrito, Oreo waffles and homemade orange juice, these were so good. They loved those breakfast choices. As for my husband and I, we ordered: island chilaquiles, moco loco and Hawaiian lattes, our food and lattes were phenomenal! Definitely would recommend coming here! read more

We showed up right at peak lunch and yep, there was a line out the door. But it moved fast, and once we ordered, finding a table wasn't a problem. They recommend not holding a table until after you order. But honestly, it's fine because there's always one that opens up. We couldn't decide what to get, so we just went for it and ordered everything that sounded good. The food came out pretty quickly, and every dish hit. If you're going big like we did, make sure you've got enough room on your table since we definitely maxed ours out. The prime rib was solid. The prime rib local moco I'd been seeing online was good, but the chimichurri fried beef ribs stole the show as always especially with the coconut pineapple pancakes, and over-easy eggs. And the guava toffee French toast? Wildly good. Tart and sweet in the best way. Guava and toffee wasn't a combo I expected to love, but now I'm obsessed. Staff was super friendly and on it. The owners even came around to check in, really welcoming and made the whole experience feel personal. Only thing is they close at 2:30, which feels early. But I saw signs about dinner service coming in the winter, and I'll definitely be back for that. If you're thinking about going, go. It's worth it! Just be ready for a long line and bring a large appetite! read more

Walked in and saw a loooong line so was already dreading a wait.....but this place worked through the line efficiently! It was definitely worth the short wait! We ordered and could only find a table that hadn't been cleaned yet by the previous guests but as soon as Monica and her coworker noticed the table they came up, greeted us, smiled and immediately started clearing a table for us while engaging in polite and friendly conversation, which you don't always get at places these days. So it was such a nice experience for us to start our day. The food was also 10/10, this was our first time and we tried like 5 different items off the menu, and each one was flavorful and cooked to perfection! Thank you again to aloha stacks for the delicious breakfast and Monica and Maricela for the wonderful hospitality we will definitely be coming back again! read more

We planned to meet up here for breakfast. Parking is a problem since we came here on a Saturday morning and the bank is open to and it has designated parking so beware. It is set up as you order first and then sit. I treated my friends for their birthdays. We got a sofa, coffee and ube latte. The ube latte was perfectly sweet. We also ordered the French toast, eggs Florentino, macadamia nut Belgian waffle, and brekkie tater tots. Our food arrived pretty quickly and it was so tasty. We ended up having to take boxes home. The portions are for 2 people so maybe sharing would be a good time if you're undecided. Service was awesome as they announced the order first, then sit, as well as bringing water and taking plates as we finished. They also didn't rush us which is nice. I definitely want to come back and try other items. read more

We've passed by this business before and really wanted to try it so we stopped by for breakfast! We came on a Friday around noon and it was VERY crowded. We've never been before and were surprised to see it wasn't a full service restaurant, and you had to order at the counter. We waited a good 15 minutes just to get our order taken, but there was plenty of seating since tables would get up to leave while we were still in line. They do run the food to your table and drop off a jug of water so there is still some service but it's a pretty casual spot for the most part. They have plenty indoor and outdoor seating, and overall it's a pleasant spot for brunch. For food we ordered the eggs and protein (Portuguese sausage), the breakfast burrito, and the Captain Mac Nut French toast (Captain Crunch + Macadamia) . We really enjoyed that you could swap out certain proteins for leaner options on some of the plates. While nothing we ordered really tasted out of this world, it was all very solid, and with plenty of options on the menu everyone's bound to find something they like. While we're not necessarily in a rush to come back, we've definitely added this to the list of brunch options nearby and would visit again if we're craving it! read more

First timer!! Food: -Avocado turkey melt with fries: DELICIOUS! Gosh, you can't not love a melt! The bread was delicious, buttery, and toasted so well. The avocado and turkey inside was yummy too- it's just turkey deli slice type meats, so expect that! -Fries: deliciously seasoned and the thickness is my fave! -Spicy chicken waffle: WOW it came out with SOOOO much cheese atop! It was a delicious bite, but I'm glad it was just a bite for me- I don't think I could eat the entire thing. Service: -It was SOO busy, but the line moves relatively quickly. You order first, take your seat, and the food comes out pretty promptly considering how busy it is. -For coffee, staff is frequent in coming by with refills which is also lovely! Ambiance: -it is busy and loud, but also quite energy giving. So it is likely not a spot to come and have intimate conversations necessarily, but with the family and just hanging out, definitely! Overall: -solid food and prices. If in the area and the lines aren't too long, wouldn't mind coming!! read more

Never heard of this place before my friend found it that I met for lunch! I wish I knew about this place sooner this place is awesome Hawaiian food pog juice all the deliciousness are you kidding? This place is amazing! Not too far either so I can make it haha! They have plenty of parking. I parked up front. Went inside. The line is very long, but it went by pretty quickly. I ordered the corned beef eggs with a side of fruit. Wasn't the best, but it was very delicious to me. I enjoyed it a lot. I did ask for a fruit cup, but they just gave me strawberries for some reason. Lol friend ordered waffles and a different type of waffles. I forgot to take a picture of. All the food here looks amazing! They have a lot of seating inside and they have a little patio area which I thought was cool. Lots of plants around which I love. Was so nice to meet my friend here for lunch today. Had an amazing time. The girl who took our order was super sweet. I don't remember her name. I'm so sorry but they brought our food to our table. We enjoyed our delicious lunch and had a fabulous time. Thank you so much for excellent service and delicious food! I enjoyed my POG juice and corn beef hash and eggs very much. I would definitely come here again such a cute little area too. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

I really want to like this place because it's walking distance, you can pay ahead of time so you're free to leave when you're ready, and the staff is friendly. The savory food hasn't quite lived up to the rest of the experience for us. The breakfast burrito had good meat, but overall it was a mushy, soggy mess with very little texture variation. The island chilaquiles were fine, but not especially memorable. I know our experience doesn't seem to match a lot of the glowing reviews, so maybe we're just not ordering the right things. We did have a decent experience with the pancakes on a previous visit, but I also remember the waffle with chicken and cheese being very dry, with textures that felt off. Overall, the food we've tried so far lacks a real wow factor. That said, the matcha latte is pretty good, and I know they offer special meats on the weekends, so I'm willing to give it another try and see if ordering differently changes things. read more

Everything we got was absolutely fire, but the deep fried oxtail was the realest winner amongst the dishes we tried. Not only was the oxtail crispy on the outside, it was still so tender, moist, and chewy just like a perfect oxtail should be cooked. Props to this establishment because they did not skimp. We had enough to split amongst the four of us who dined as we shared to try different dishes. Each serving was amply portioned and very well-worth the money. The ube coconut pancake looks like it'll be a lot of sugar but is really balanced and fun to eat. Every dish was executed so that the textures were exactly what I expected, and the flavors impressive. As for the venue, it was clean and had plenty of seating. Service was also pretty quick. read more

This was our second visit, and boy, it was packed! I was so excited to see this place because it's HARD to find decent Hawaiian food in this area; my go-to spots are Home in Lahaina or King's Hawaiian. We ordered the plates that came with a pancake, choice of meat and eggs. You can upgrade the pancakes. but, unfortunately, you can't upgrade the French Toast. I brought my bf here for breakfast for his birthday only to tell him that his folks we're meeting us (SURPRISE, HONEY). My in-laws came all the way out from Victorville, and they LOVED the food. The atmosphere was buzzing as there were a ton of happy people. Service was spot on, and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I can only imagine how hectic the kitchen was, but the food was hot and tasty. Our next adventure is the lunch, so we shall be back! read more

Food is great! Staff is awesome, definitely recommend this place. Kid friendly as well, which is always a plus for me and my twins.

This is their newest location and I think the nicest! I've been here on 3 different occasions and each time was good. They do your typical loco moco but instead of the regular burger meat patty, you can choose from Portuguese sausage, chicken katsu, corned beef hash, and probably another protein I'm missing. What I really love is their ube pancakes. GET IT. The staff is attentive. They will bring you a water pitcher with cups. You can choose inside or outside seating. Order at the counter, they'll give you a number, and just choose a place to sit. I tried their orange juice, and pineapple juice. There's a wide array of beverages to choose from. My friend got a soda water which was no charge. Tons of parking. Just give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

Worth the 20 min wait in line! Don't be intimidated if you drive up and there is a line, this place works like clockwork and is very organized. We had our food within 6 mins after sitting down. Very laid back, clean atmosphere and a very friendly staff. We got the special chimichurri fried beef ribs and they were wonderful. We also got the banana Nutella crepes and they didn't disappoint. Lastly, we wanted a bit more sweet so we got the banana macadamia nut pancakes (the macadamia is a cream is super light and delicious. And not to be outdone and to try as much as we could, we also got the chicken katsu loco moco and it was covered well with gravy and delicious. This place is really good. read more

I take so many food pics and forget to post them, but here's our recent visit The ube pancakes were okay I mostly just wanted to try them. I'm not a fan of anything soggy, and the top pancake was a little soft for me. The flavor was good though, and the coconut topping was really good! The pot pie was just okay. The filling was very thick and only had a couple pieces of soft chicken, no carrots. I'd probably order it again on a cold day, but otherwise maybe not. The sandwich was good! It didn't wow us, but it felt like it was missing a little something. We love coming in and trying something new every time. We definitely have our favorites on the menu, but I'm all for working through the whole thing! read more

PARKING: It's a relatively big lot. Plenty of space especially towards the back of the lot. SEATING: Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. It's a mix of lower tables and high tops. This place is an order first and then get your table. They do put reserved signs on the table as a courtesy for those looking for one. SERVICE: The line to get inside was about 30 minutes. The man helping us in the front asking if we had any questions was very nice. He gave us a rundown of how seating was for the first timers in the group. The cashiers were extremely nice and made sure to repeat back my order. The drink I had came out before the food and they made sure to have water at the table as well. The runners/servers were all very quick and made sure to make us feel comfortable. FOOD: This is not my first rodeo at an Aloha Stacks, but I can say that the food is always top quality. The mac'nut banana pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Not too sweet! My breakfast burrito was piping hot and was fantastic with every bite. I don't think my burrito even had the chance to even get cold, that's how good it was! OVERALL: I would suggest to go early if you don't want to wait to long, but even if you do, it's well worth the wait. Definitely a 10/10! read more

I saw this restaurant recommended on instagram and new I had to try it. We came on a Thursday morning and it was not too busy. You line up and order at a counter. One of the employees brought us a menu to browse in line while waiting. There were so many things I wanted to try! I decided I needed to ask for recommendations when I got to the front. The person taking our order was really nice! She answered my questions and recommended the guava toffee French toast. I also ordered that and a fried rice lite bite meal to share with my husband. My husband ordered the spicy chicken and bacon waffle. To drink we got a Hawaiian latte and orange juice. After ordering, we found a table to sit at. The restaurant is clean and spacious with inside and outdoor options. Our order came quickly. The Hawaiian latte was amazing! Notes of coconut and macadamia nut. 100% recommend! The guava French toast was delicious. Literally could not stop eating until I cleaned the plate. The fried rice was well made with a good egg to rice ratio. My husband also enjoyed his meal. We were surprised with a slice of cheesecake to try. You have to get the cheesecake! It is worth every bite. It had bits of pineapple, a delicious crust and whipped cream. Yum! I'm already planning to have my birthday brunch here next month! Can't wait! read more

Tried Aloha Stacks for brunch after seeing a post on tik tok about the Prime Rib Loco Moco. The food did not disappoint and was very good. My nephew had the island chilaquiles and it was excellent as well. The service was amazing and the staff is very friendly. Our main server Maricela took care of us and she was very friendly, kind, was always helping us through our time dining here. The place itself is nice and the ordering process was easy. Lots of places to sit. Will definitely come back again! Thank you again Maricela for taking care of us! read more

They should really take their Teriyaki Chicken off the menu. It was basically quarter of a chicken breast with a bit of teriyaki sauce poured on top. The chicken was not marinated and had it not been for the sauce, it would have just been plain chicken breast. To charge $16 for that tiny, bland portion was a bit egregious. For a Hawaiian place to have teri chicken this mediocre is sad and kind of insulting. I can't imagine what a local would say about it. And for those who might say that I ordered the wrong thing, my retort to that would be to not put something that mediocre on the menu or to actually put some effort into serving a quality dish. The 2 star rating is merely for the fact that it didn't give me food poisoning. read more

Presentation was amazing! The food looks so delicious. Spam musubi was so good, first time trying it and it lived up to the hype. The pancakes were really delicious, so fluffy and tasty. I do think the rest of the food(the chilaquiles and eggs) lacked some flavor but overall would come back and try other items! read more

Fantastic new brunch spot in whittier! I've been wanting to try their other location, but happened to be in whittier and was stoked this place opened. I got to-go, but there is PLENTY of seating indoors and outdoors. You order first, then grab a table. I got the ube pancakes and the katsu and belgian waffle. The ube coconut pancakes were delicious and unique. Not too sweet, can definitely taste the ube, and the coconut/Macapuno sauce were a divine match. The waffle and katsu is a take on chicken and waffles and I am here for it. The Katsu was well fried, and not overly greasy or too dry. The waffles were a tad soggy, but I think that's because I took it to go. Not at all the fault of the restaurant. Service was super nice and really on top of it. Extensive menu, salads, pancakes, kids menu, Loco moco, and so much more. I 100% recommend it, definitely felt like a piece of hawaii right here in Whittier. read more

We were driving around the area and noticed the "now open" signs, so my mom and I decided to stop in and give it a try. I was impressed by the extensive menu options, reasonable prices, and generous portions. The black coffee was exceptional! We opted for the two-egg dish with protein and a side. I chose the fried chicken steak, while my mom went for the Spam slices - both were mouthwatering. We added an order of fried rice to our meal. The small portion was delicious - more than enough for the two of us to share! The pancakes were a highlight: thick, fluffy, and buttery. The sourdough toast was also outstanding. You can really tell they use high quality ingredients. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, regularly checking in on us and refilling our coffee cups. The atmosphere was lovely, with beautiful decor and a spacious layout. The overall vibe was bright and airy, making for a truly enjoyable experience. Overall, a delightful meal, definitely recommend. read more

Came to try out the prime rib loco moco after seeing their social media marketing campaign, and it was a pretty big miss. For paying $31, the prime rib was overcooked and oversalted, the gravy was not that flavorful, and the rice was pretty soggy. Only good thing of the dish were the eggs, but you know, kind of expected for a breakfast spot to know how to make eggs. I recommend getting anything else on the menu besides this item. read more

I can go on and on about how delicious the food was. But what I would really like to highlight is the service. Maricela was so nice. My coffee cup was always full and she was so attentive to anything we may have needed. I already had a very high opinion of Aloha Stacks but Maricela took my experience up a notch. I could not have asked for any better service. I also wanted to mention Sasha. She knew what we needed before we even asked. I can tell they take pride in their service definitely deserve their own shoutouts. I live equidistant from the Irvine, Cerritos, and Whittier locations. But thanks to Maricela and Sasha, I will always be coming back to the Whittier location. Thank you for such a pleasurable dining experience. We got the corned beef hash loco moco with fried rice which was so tasty. The gravy was so flavorful and worked well with the fried rice and corned beef hash. It was an amazing combination. We also got the chicken pot pie, which is in the bakery case and is first come first serve. My daughter has a very picky palette but says this is her favorite chicken pot pie. The crust is so flaky and the filling is well balanced with chicken and veggies. read more

This is a new restaurant that opened up in the city of Whittier. Business seems always busy. Arrived at noon. It took about 25 minutes to get to the register and put in our order. After we had to go look for a table which was difficult because of the restaurant being busy and needing a table where we can use a wheelchair and put the walker to the side at least . Personally, I don't like when restaurants have you look for your own table as people will always go and sit before they order to save a table. Our orders came out separately and wrong twice. The Mac nut banana pancakes were delicious. The dried oxtail tasted amazing, but the rice was undercooked and almost bland . The burger was basic; nothing special about it . The overall experience was alright, but not a place I'd be in a hurry to go back to. Side note: the waiters should get help carrying the drinks, it looked as if they were struggling without a server tray. read more

Food was amazing simple concept, walk in place your order then you sit service is great. People are friendly. Food was very authentic.

3 times in a row, I've received an omelette that is burnt completely through. I don't know when it became ok to cook eggs until they turned crispy but these are burnt in a way that almost feels personal. And since when are they rationing potatoes? And they want 20.00 for THIS?! This feels like somebody is ready to clock out & just said, F it. read more

Stopped by during the week for mid morning breakfast. We walked in between rushes and only had to wait for about 10 minutes to order. Staff were all friendly and helpful and I was happy to see the manager constantly walking around refilling water and coffee. Managers at other restaurants don't usually do that. I had their chimichurri ribs and they were so amazing and my wife & MIL had the strawberry waffles. We also had a Loco Moco for the table. Everything was really good. The dining area was clean and the tables were well stocked. We liked the outdoor dining area. We will definitely return. read more

AMAZING FOOD!!! Almost everything I ordered tasted incredibly delicious. From their ube pancakes to their entrees and drinks, everything was so unique and seasoned/flavored perfectly. The details: (Iced) Hawaiian latte - 5/5 it's not listed under "iced" beverages but you can still order it iced! It has a macadamia nut flavor and is perfectly sweet. It has one shot of espresso but the flavor was still strong and came through the sweetener/creamer. Iced ube latte - 5/5 also perfect sweetness! It had just the right amount of ube flavor as well. All their drinks I've tried were very well balanced. Omurice omelette - 2/5 this was on the special menu and not on the regular menu. It has fried rice and Portuguese sausage inside an omelette with cheese. Lacked flavor and tasted a bit bland so I wouldn't get it again. Chimichurri fried beef ribs - 5/5 looooved this dish especially the sauce! Item was also on the list of specials. It was pricey at $20-ish but came with 3 large beef ribs, 2 eggs and a side. Well worth it imo. Ube pancakes - 5/5 omg soooo good!!!! It comes with a purple ube drizzle with coconut flakes on top and white syrup (coconut maybe?) on the side. This was my favorite food here. The flavors all blended so well together and it was the perfect level of sweet. Banana and Mac nut pancakes - 4/5 my daughter loved it but I much rather preferred the ube pancake. This one came with powdered sugar and regular syrup so it didn't taste as special compared to the ube haha. Strawberry muffin - 5/5 there's chunks of strawberry in the batter AND strawberries on the top! Tastes so good **helpful tip: you can upgrade your sides to one of their specialty pancakes for $2-3 extra! Comes with 2 pancakes. Great way to try several signature menu items without having to order a la carte** read more
