    Breakfast burrito, Hawaiian waffles, mimosa
    Christine G.

    Bogart's has been around foreverrrrrr and they're still just as yummy. Located in a small shopping plaza off Monsterat, you'll have to be patient for a parking spot to open up, but people are constantly leaving and coming. The cafe itself is at the far right end with inside dining and an outside patio area with some seating. Order at the counter and they will give you a buzzer when your food is ready. Service is fast and food is so yummy! The perfect stop for breakfast, brunch, or lunch!

    Looks edible but the rice was severely undercooked

    I've been coming to Bogart's for over 20 years, so it's disappointing to say that today's visit really missed the mark. I ordered the Mama's Fried Rice, and the rice was noticeably undercooked--completely inedible. At $17, that's hard to overlook. It feels like the quality has been slipping, and the focus has shifted more toward catering to tourists than maintaining the consistency that kept locals like me coming back. Hoping this was just an off day, but it definitely shook my confidence in a longtime favorite.

    We got a lift to take us here from our hotel. For breakfast, there was very limited seating so you just have to watch for an empty table to become available. Keep in mind, they don't clean up the tables so you kinda have to do it yourself. You order in the front first, then get your food at your table. I ordered the Kahlúa pork and onion omelette with rice. You can choose seasoned potatoes, but I love Hawaiian white rice. The presentation of my plate was nice and clean. I really enjoyed each bite of my omelette and the rice. Great flavor. They have a condiment station with soy sauce and Sriracha, which is exactly what I needed for my plate. I also ordered a latte which was very good and even had a heart on top. My husband ordered the açai bowl and it was very fresh and was a very nice presentation. It was a perfect meal before we walked to diamond head. So if you're thinking about doing the hike you should definitely stop here. The Employee was very welcoming and personable too. At the end, I asked for it to go cover a copy and he was on it right away.

    Definitely a must try! Lots of tourists. You have to order your food/drinks at the counter. Self seating. You'll get a buzzer to let you know that your food is ready. You'll pick up your food near the register. There's a condiment station. When you're finished eating, there's a station near the front door to place your dishes. The food is shareable. Big portions. Very good, tasty. I liked what I ordered. The coffee cups are big, that's a plus. Water is self serve. Parking is limited. There's a small parking lot or street parking.

    I've been coming here for many years. It's has a great menu with tons of options. I almost always get a breakfast bagel Sandwhich, because it's affordable and delicious. The service is always top notch, very friendly and accommodating as well. It has enough seating inside and outside. Be careful outside under the tree, you may get extra cream in your coffee from perched birds. It adds to the fun. The açaí bowl is also worth getting, very fresh and enjoyable. This is a place my family and I keep coming back too.

    Came here for a mandatory post-hike acai bowl! Such a refreshing reward! * Parking: Storefront lot available, but stalls are limited and the spaces fill up quickly at peak hours! * Ambiance: The inside was small, but there's also outdoor seating available (some seats are directly under a tree so be careful of bird droppings!). Inside there's self-serve water and also a coffee station to customize your drink! * Service: Visited during breakfast and it was very busy, but we got our order in a reasonable time! No complaints here. * Food/Drink: I got the island acai bowl. For the most part, it was a pretty standard, but the one thing that stood out to me was the massive pile of coconut flakes which i LOVED. My husband got the bogart's loco moco. The meat patty was juicy and flavorful, but the gravy with mushrooms and onions had to be the best part! Would come here again if I'm in the area!

    taro banana pancake   strawberry guava bagel with macadamia nut pesto cream cheese
    Bellody C.

    Unique offerings with self service seating! You can expect a line on the weekend. The taro banana pancake was yummy with actual chunks of taro on top. I can only imagine how good the ube pancakes are - they were sold out by the time we got there. I also got the strawberry guava bagel with macadamia nut pesto cream cheese. This combo was super unique. I do wish the bagel was bigger because i got hungry within the next hour or two. The macadamia nut is subtle but pairs perfectly with the pesto cream cheese.

    Breakfast bagel (taro bagel)
    Cecilia R.

    Another local favorite - definitely recommend the taro vans pancakes and any of their açaí bowls. Parking is rough and they can get crowded during peak meal time (especially on the weekend), but makes a great stop before or after hiking Diamond Head. Would definitely come back!

    Loco Moco
    Nicole C.

    We came here for breakfast and the place was popping so we knew we found a good one. The inside is small with a patio area outside. The place is family owned and everything looked phenomenal. The entire staff was incredibly friendly. You order up at the counter and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. However, if they see you sit they're kind enough to bring it out. I ordered a latte that was semi sweet but the serving size was huge. They have nice big 24oz cups of coffee, which is great for morning people! We shared the acai bowl and the loco moco. The loco moco was amazing. I loved the fried rice and the meat was soft and savory. The egg was only fried on the bottom, which I prefer the top being cooked as well. However, I liked the egg yolk and it blended well with the mean and rice. I also would have preferred no mushrooms. I also really enjoyed their homemade gravy. It was delicious. The acai bowl was also fantastic. The acai was the perfect mixture that was sweet and the consistency was perfect. The toppings were all the things that should be on a bowl. Best part was the portions were perfect, not too big, not too small. Cash only but the prices were good!

    Very fresh food we loved it. They also have smoothie/ juice which I wish I tried The crab avocado omelette was amazing!!! And loco moco was ordered which was goood it's just there was barely enough meat under the egg

    I remember coming to this place back super long ago. Coming back here was pretty nostalgic! The place was quite cozy and definitely SUPER CROWDED. There were a lot of Japanese tourists. Be warned, you may not get a table/seat depending on how crowded it is. And they don't get you seated, so you have to find a table or place the order then look for a place to sit down. I tried the mango pancake and French toast. I personally loved the mango pancake a lot more. It definitely has very chewy texture and the mango sauce wasn't really sweet. Surprisingly, their latte also tasted really good. A lot of cafes don't serve good coffee cuz their espresso machine, quality of beans are quite low, but their coffee actually tasted fantastic. The pancake also came with a side of seasoned potatoes and they were very crispy and cooked to perfection with too.

    Breakfast quesadilla
    Jaymi U.

    Came here for breakfast after a run and it really hit the spot! They have such a large menu and they have something for everyone here - but be prepared if you are indecisive because I had a hard time picking something. Overall, food was great. My breakfast quesadilla was simple but tasty and it came with a mild salsa. Loved the crispy potatoes it came with too. I am definitely coming here again to try more of their menu. I would say the only downside of this place is the small parking lot, but we got lucky this time and scored a spot.

    Pork Adobo Fried Rice
    Julianne G.

    The place was packed, but the line moved pretty quickly! You order at the front and they give you a buzzer so you know when to pick your food up. We got a breakfast bagel on a strawberry guava bagel, the pork adobo fried rice, the dark side bowl, and the Hawaiian waffle. I really enjoyed the pork adobo fried rice. It was packed with flavor. An addition of an over easy egg would've been great! The dark side bowl was delicious and packed with so many chocolate chips and cacao nibs. The acai consistency was great and fruit was sweet. I was interested to know what the strawberry guava bagel was gonna taste like and surprisingly was very strawberry-y! Hawaiian waffle was great, I'm still not the biggest coconut fan, but my fiancé really enjoyed it!

    Is parking available? Good for takeout?

    There is a small lot and street parking. Yes, takeout is as yummy as dine in!

    Can we make reservations?

    It's a small and very busy restaurant. I would assume that the setup would not be in the best interest of the restaurant to take reservations. You could order ahead and pickup your food when you get there.

    Why not opening for dinner?

    Is this under new ownership?

    Why are there no prices on your menu? Why so secretive?

    go to the website, then click on the menu...the prices are there. One price for cash and another for card payments.

    I usually get my usual, eggs Benedict, pancakes or adobo fried rice. What else is something that I MUST try?

    Switch it up and get Mama's fried rice! It's amazing. I also recommend trying their Nutella waffles!

    How's the belgian waffles here? Nice and cripsy outside, soft inside?

    Yes it is, exactly like that, you can ask for more whipped cream too. They give enough Nutella so it's perfect.

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws.

Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open.

The batter was light and crispy with great flavors and had a yummy sauce drizzled on top. It also came with a scoop of rice, buttered corn, and Mac salad. Mac salad was delicious! Prime rib sandwich came with salad and au jus sauce and a side of salad. It's good but also very filling. I didn't try the burger or teriyaki chicken but was told both were delicious. After dinner, we ordered a few items from the bakery to eat on the plane. You have to take a number and wait for them to call it. I got 2 kouign Amannn, 2 Dubai coco puff, and half dozen green tea puff. The kouign amann is a circular croissant. I liked that it was soft and flaky and had a sweet, crispy glaze over it. The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs! I would come back to just order that! The top filling tasted like a thick creamy brown butter green tea-flavored icing. The filling inside doesn't taste like brown butter and less thick but still really good. Overall, they had really good food and items from the bakery.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
