Hawaiian Pancake (special request)
Jacque Y.

Amazing customer service from the lady that answered the phone to take my order and when I got there the two ladies that helped me! Very fast, friendly, and efficient. Treated me like family!!! Cooks in the back went the extra mile too, to fold the fruits INTO my pancakes! Wow. Atmosphere was very inviting and clean. Great job is an understatement! Guieb Cafe everyone knows the food is always so Ono. But now you know the Aiea staff is bomb! A little bit extra love goes a long way. Will definitely continue to support!

Belgian Waffle

Local favorites with a twist! Appealing choices to select for B & L. Orchid adds a pop of color to entrees. Plethora of free parking in Harbor Center. Instructed to check in with the front staff. First come, first serve for five people or less. We're fortunate to have the last unoccupied table. Highly recommend calling restaurant to make reservations if it's for six or more people. Mom loved the simplicity and freshness of belgian waffles. Son enjoyed generous three stack of oreo cheesecake pancakes. He said it wasn't too sweet. Amazingly delicious crab cakes benedict! Loved how the yolks flowed freely after piercing eggs benedict. Crab cakes, hollandaise sauce, paprika, avocado, and English muffins integrated perfectly with each other. Yummy, crisp sweet potato fries complemented the remaining yolk and sweet, tangy ketchup. Colorful plates, beautiful presentation and delicious meals made a huge difference. Attentive, helpful, quick, efficient, and friendly staff. Quaint ambiance. AC working well. Limited seats are quickly occupied with dine in customers. Turn around times seem fast. There's a 3% surcharge for credit card(s). Highly recommend.

Ube haupia French toast dipped in ube & coconut flakes. On the side: purple "ooze" and a creamy haupia sauce.
Ruby D.

Wow! One of the best discoveries on our visit to O'ahu! The place was cozy and inviting, and the staff was so hospitable ... a quintessential trait of our Filipino culture, if I do say so myself. The menu had all the classics, along with some delectable twists. We ordered the longsilog and the ube haupia French toast. Had to take them to-go because the place was at full capacity with more ppl waiting outside! Yeah, it's pretty fantastic.

Ube Haupia French Toast
Isaac H.

1. To be seated, go to the cashier to be added to the list 2. Really small restaurant - be prepared to know your neighbors 3. 10% Military discount This restaurant came highly recommended and I'm glad I got the chance to finally come! The ube haupia was my favorite dish and it's cool that they have a "Filipino favorites" section on the menu!

Ube and mascarpone pancakes
Elaine D.

When I heard about the Ube pancakes, I had to have them. It's a tiny unassuming restaurant, what might be perceived as a hole-in-the-wall, but a hidden gem. It was a full house for breakfast, so we sat at the counter. My daughter and I shared the pancakes. Beautiful Ube and mascarpone, Deliciously purple fluffy pancakes. A flavor sensation. Very friendly service. Go! 13

Ube Mascarpone Pancake
Joyce L.

Thank you for being open on Thanksgiving Day! We did a take out just so we can eat at home and watch Macy's Parade on TV. Big portion and you can definitely share. Ube pancake was on the drier side but it came with whipped Ube cream topping so make sure you spread generously. Da Local omelette was definitely packed with lots of local proteins with sweet potato fries. That was different.

Menu specials
Bob S.

The service is 5 STAR ALL THE WAY! It was a Wednesday at 1030 and it was waiting room only. They have 6 tables with 4 chairs at each and the counter has 6 chairs. It's very tight when filled. I took my son in law and daughter. They felt their hash browns were over done to their liking. I felt the same with my prime rib. I chalk it all up to being hectic and a one off. But always 20% goes to the girls cuz busy or not, they make you feel like family. I will definitely be back and that's all that counts!

Kapuna serving special
Andrea H.

Local favorite- food smash! It was a small quaint location which fills up very quickly but has phenomenal friendly service. We tried the house favorites which included the Ube taste for the French toast plate. My best friend says his favorite is the steak breakfast as the cut is perfect and taste is perfect. Mom got a kapuna serving size and she was joyful to the Spanish sausage which was new to her taste buds. We had a fabulous breakfast and mine included fresh pineapple juice as well. 10/10 loved everything about it! Be prepared restroom is outside around the building make sure you ask for the key.

This was my first try at Guieb Cafe in Pearlridge. We decided to try a different breakfast place and the Yelp reviews looked promising. This place is a lot smaller than expected. I can imagine a long wait list during primetime hours. Menu selection offers mainly popular classic dishes with a local twist. The added touch of a lovely purple orchid is definitely a plus!!! Food was tasty. Service was mildly okay. Parking although free could be problematic if coming here during busy times since it's shared with many businesses in a strip mall type of set-up.

Emari H.

This is the kind of neighborhood breakfast spot you want to- friendly service with great food! This hidden gem is tucked away in the Harbor Center, unassuming spot is always welcoming like visiting grandma's house and always serving up the best food! I love going there for our breakfast date. My fave is veggie omelet...love that everything in the details with the little garnish and an orchid on every plate Check it out. You'll be thanking me later And they will remember you by name like an old friend. Love them!!

Ube French toast
Jennifer S.

Solid breakfast/brunch joint with great food and friendly service. Met a friend here for brunch because I'd wanted to try it for months. We put our name on the list and chatted outside for a bit (no place to sit, FYI) and our name was called reasonably fast - it's not a huge space but the tables turned over quickly. We ordered one weet and one savory dish and shared both. Ube French toast and the prime rib loco moco. I'm not a huge loco moco fan because I don't like runny eggs, but they were open to doing scrambled on top instead! Super glad because it was delicious. Seasoned well without being a salt bomb and the gravy was perfectly umami. The ube French toast was also good - not overly sweet and came with extra ube sauce on the side. Coffee was just okay - serviceable, but you're coming here for the food, not the coffee. Service was friendly and warm with just the right amount of checking on us. Parking is in the lots surrounding - no dedicated spaces for Guieb (that I saw) but be mindful that some other establishments reserve the spaces right in front of their doors for their own customers.

Kalihifornia burger with waffle fries
Scott M.

me and my mini were cruising ... looking for some noms. she said she like Guiebs so... shot over to the spot behind cutter ford in pearl city. lots of parking in the lot. there was a short line and the cute staff helped sign me up for the wait list. we waited outside and studied the menu for what looked ono. in a couple minutes got a call to sit down. stunning waitress gave waters and took our orders. da mini chose corned beef with hash browns anf scrambled eggs. pro tip(order the corned beef and the hash brown crispy) if u roll like that. i got the kalihifornia burger cuz we rep the 819! ha!. savory sweet crunchy, juicy. need extra napkins cuz da buggah thick. med rare burger was seasoned nice. has avocado, onion rings, pinapple slice teri sauce and seasoned mayo with greens and tomato. mayjah!

Ube Mascarpone Pancake
LAUREEN C.

Wanted to introduce my sister from out of town ..to Guieb Cafe . It's usually very crowded but we lucked out and one table left .. just for us .. since we were in a hurry to eat . The table was already cleaned so we just seated ourselves. Staff was exceptionally pleasant and efficient. I've been here a year ago so I noticed some nice additions to the extensive menu. We ordered the Ube Pancakes.. Poi Mochi Waffle with Haupia sauce and these cute little Portuguese roll sausages from Maui . It's not your typical Portuguese round flat sausages but they were ono ! It was nice and enjoyable to eat even though was full house .. it was comfortable and we could sit and chat without the place being too loud . Just a helpful hint for the seniors .. that they offer senior discount ... every little bit counts! We're good to come back again !!

Anyone tried the oxtail soup? Any good?

Yes, I tried it. I tried it a week after I saw another patron order it and ate every drop. I asked her what she thought and she said she liked it, so I had it the following week. It is 3.5 stars to me. The broth isn't as rich and deep as the flavor… Read more

We had some questions about the menu and the women taking our order was very helpful with everything. We ordered our food and were told to sit anywhere we like. We ordered an Elena's Mixed Plate 2 plate combo with Diniguan and Monggo Beans with Pork, it came with two scoops of rice. And we also ordered the March Special which had Pancit, Gisantes, Lechon and Pork Adobo Fried Omelet. The Diniguan was made perfectly! Not sour at all but just the perfect amount of flavor.. the Monggo Beans with Pork were cooked perfectly with delicious pork pieces inside. The March Special was such a good deal! The Pancit, made just right, thr Gisantes, spot on, thr Lechon, amazingly fried and the Pork Adibo Fried Omlete was absolutely delicious! Something i didnt know I needed! The rice was also cooked perfectly, not mushy or under cooked but just right! We got cups of water to drink and they brought us out two cups and a pitcher to refill our cups at the table which I can appreciate.. Overall such a great place with kind, friendly staff and amazing delicious food!

I wish they had one in Waikiki because there is no Filipino food restaurants out there. The bbq shortrib was really good! Thats going to be a favorite. There isn't Usually a long line at this place probably because I go after the lunch rush. Ladies are quick behind the counter, customers usually know what they want. Its located in a food court and dining area isn't as big as others mall so finding a place to sit could be challenging. Usually you can share a table with a couple other diners.

We got pork adobo (tender & flavorful), pancit mix (too lemony & lil mushy that day), Thelma's special (too salty, they wished I got regular lechon), Shanghai lumpia (ok) & adobo fried rice (good but small portion). The prices are reasonable but not as big portions as I thought would be.

The pancit was a standout: bihon noodles perfectly stir-fried with green onions and subtle seasoning, light yet satisfying as a side that balanced the richer dishes without overwhelming. Dinuguan brought that deep, savory pork blood stew richness - tender meat in a chocolatey gravy with a vinegar kick, way better than average and not overly gamey Monggo (mung beans) was hearty and comforting, simmered smooth with malunggay or bittermelon options for that homey veggie depth - grows on you with each bite. Veggie lumpia delivered crispy perfection: fresh fillings, not greasy, and a great crunchy contrast to the stews. Generous portions at fair prices, quick service, and that lechon nearby if you want to level up next time. Solid Waipahu/Honolulu Filipino spot - will return!

But this was close enough. The portions are great probably good enough for two. The lumpia were fire as well. 4 for $10 is a bit steep but not too bad. Crunchy wrappers. Tasty inside. They have this vinegar based dipping sauce, that I didn't really enjoy. My mom softens that vinegar by mixing it with ketchup and a bit of sugar if needed. If they had something similar to that it would have been 10/10. As it is, I'm just nitpicking. Shay's did make me miss my mom's cooking a bit but in a good way. I'd totally bring her in to get her take next time she visits. Will totally go back.

It might've been the search for fried chicken to which Minasa didn't disappoint. We arrived just after opening and happened to get the last open table - after ordering, of course. The restaurant is clean and well put together with darker accents. Our food came out relatively quick - having the chef's special and ube churros. The kalbi sauce soaking into the rice was the perfect balance of flavors. Same for the calamansi fried chicken. Lechon, I must say was also a fine example of how seriously the chefs take their selection of ingredients - as I looked closer, it had the classic 5 layers (shown in my photo). Usually, this is the prime factor in the perfect roast pork - providing juicy layers of pork meat. Overall, this has been the best (new) meal we've had in a LONG time. It was so delicious, I could only wish there was a way to share this place with a larger collection of diners because frankly, if you haven't tried this place, I honestly think you're missing out on the definition of culinary art. Each dish carefully crafted with the goal of providing the best experience to all the patrons. I seriously seriously hope you all have a chance to visit. If we're ever back on this side of the island, we won't hesitate to stop by.
