    Guieb Cafe is one of my go-to breakfast spots on Oahu. If you're looking for a brunch spot with local flavors and creative twists, this is the place. Their menu has something for everyone, from ube pancakes and loco moco to longanisa dishes. I ordered the Trio, which lets you sample both sweet and savory favorites, and every item was delicious. The ube pancakes were light, fluffy, and buttery, topped with a rich, sweet ube cream that wasn't overly sugary. They're definitely one of the standout dishes on the menu. The crab cake benedict was another favorite. The crab cake was packed with flavorful crab instead of mostly filler, and the hollandaise sauce was creamy, rich, and paired perfectly with the poached eggs. The wagyu loco moco was equally satisfying. The gravy was savory and full of flavor, and everything was cooked well. While I honestly couldn't tell a huge difference between the wagyu patty and a traditional ground beef patty, it was still a delicious loco moco that I'd happily order again. Overall, every dish was well executed, the portions were generous, and the quality has been consistently good every time I've visited. The service is always friendly, and the cafe has a welcoming, casual atmosphere that's perfect for breakfast or brunch. Guieb Cafe continues to be one of my favorite local breakfast spots, and I'll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend if you're craving a hearty brunch with a Hawaiian twist!

    Came here for the first time in a while. The prime rib loco moco was cold and tough like it was sitting so that was pretty disappointing. The eggs, gravy, and garlic fried rice were delicious. The Ube pancake was super delicious just like I remembered. Staff were friendly and fast. Theres a good amount of tables to dine at, but it can get busy. Lots of parking, but it's tight so leave your huge trucks at home.

    We've been wanting to try this place based on the Yelp reviews. So, we finally made our way here! Free parking is available but when it's busy, you will need to exercise some patience. As we entered the restaurant, it was BUSY!! As soon as a table opened up, we were promptly seated the overall atmosphere is what you would expect at any family diner. A bit noisy but l, it's local family-style. I ordered the corned beef hash and hubby ordered the Da Three-bite Feast. Portions are very generous and the plates have great eye-appeal. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. For me, the gravy was a little salt-heavy for my taste but, looking at the crowd I. The restaurant, take out traffic, and line outside, the seasoning is okay for most others. Our server was wonderfully attentive considering how busy they were. If you haven't tried this place yet, it is worth a visit.

    We ordered the Island Mix and French Toast. The staff were friendly but the food was just okay. I had high hopes as this spot was recommended by a friend. The fish on tbe island mix was not fresh at all and the meat was overcooked and really tough to eat. The chicken was pretty good.

    Went to Guieb for breakfast and they have a new menu and new breakfast items on their menu. We tried the strawberry beignet which came 4 with strawberry filling which was very good. I had the Lechon Kawali breakfast come with adobo rice, which was very good and the sauce was also tasty to dip the Lechon Kawali in. My wife ordered her regular adobo rice plate which she always enjoy. Because of the flavor and moist adobo chucks of meat mixed in with the rice.

    We ordered Chicken and Waffles, Ube Pancakes, Longsilog, and a Cali Wrap. My son loved the chicken and waffles, "best ever" in his own words. The Longsilog with over easy eggs were fantastic. The Ube pancakes were delicious, especially the mascarpone, which we cheated and used on the waffle as well. My wife said the Cali Wrap was great as well.

    Good food. We ordered the Ube Mascarpone pancakes and Adobo Froed Rice omelette. Busy restaurant.

    Terrance Y.

    I ordered the Adobo fried rice omelet with a Lechon add on the omelet was quite tasty although the Lechon was mostly fat it seemed like a very fatty cut but at least it tasted decent. The omelet was quite filling and the people working there were friendly, parking can get crowded at certain times of the day. I would go back again.

    Had a work brunch there the other day. Spent a good 30-45 mins after our meal discussing work and life and not once were we rushed out. Infact, the staff here kept refilling our coffee and water! The aloha spirit from the staff is impeccable! Oh and unto the food! Between my colleagues and I we ordered their Oreo Cheesecake Pancakes, Adobo Fried Rice Omelette with Lechon Kawali and Crab Cake Benes. I won't go into detail to bore you and lose your attention but everything was delicious and was shared between us. A work team that eats together, stays together and Guieb definitely helped lol. Will be back!

    Always a great experience... consistent. Always friendly staff here. We like the Loco Moco, Ube Mar Capone pancakes and Bangsilog! Def a go to breakfast spot. Easy to get to by bus!

    Guieb Cafe might just be our favorite breakfast spot in Honolulu. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth the wait. The dining area isn't very large, but service is efficient, so the turnaround for dine-in is faster than expected. We ordered Da Local with Portuguese sausage, spam, bacon, tomatoes, white and green onions, and cheddar cheese, paired with garlic fried rice. Every bite delivered. We also tried the Loco Moco Fried Rice with a wagyu beef patty, which was rich, savory, and cooked perfectly. To end the meal, we shared the Poi Mochi waffle made with pounded taro root and served with haupia sauce. It was the perfect sweet finish without being overly heavy. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu.

    What do you do when you have a 4 hour layover at the airport? Visit Guieb Cafe! Adobe loco moco was so good. Huge portion. And the Kalifornia Burger was perfect. Order it at Medium Rare or Medium. Juicy and cheesy. Will need extra napkins. The staff was very nice. Food comes out quick. We got lucky and sat right down at 10:30 am. By the time we left the place was packed. Good spot!

    Guieb Cafe is consistently delicious!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The menu is full of delicious options. Sometimes there may be a little wait outside; however, it is worth the wait. We have tried the Ube Mascarpone Pancakes, Bangsilog, Loco Moco, Fitness Omelette, and Longsilog. Give them a try, you can't go wrong!

    Losing your cherry in front of your colleagues who you see 5x a week…read more Scandalous? That's exactly what happened. I've been wanting to try Neko Koneko (NK) for YEARS. It's not too far from my home and drive past here almost daily. Previous attempts failed as I was unable to secure parking. My day finally came earlier this week when a colleague sent a message in our office chat asking if anyone wanted anything from NK. Originally started in October 2021 in Mililani, NK relocated to Liliha, across of longtime Yagura Restaurant in September 2023. NK, which literally means "cat kitten", is known for their signature bottled drinks of lattes and cold brews, offers baked goods and limited food options. They also sell merch and offer online ordering. Prior to arriving, I asked my colleagues on their recommendation where their cold brews and lattes are notable. I had placed my order with the staff where she offered me samples. There was a line of about 4 people behind me in this cozy shop and felt bad for holding up the line but the staff once again offered me samples which I eventually accepted. Thank goodness I sampled my initial selection as I found the Hojicha latte cold brew muddled and lacked the roasted tea flavor I was hoping for. I ended up getting the matcha latte cold brew, ube latte cold brew and the strawberry milk, a personal favorite drink of mine when I lived in Japan many blue moons ago. While the staff was gathering my bottles, I noticed their baked goodies and couldn't pass on the marbled matcha loaf. My family really enjoyed the drinks and I devoured the sliced loaf. So moist with a distinct matcha favor that I enjoy. I really loved the ambiance here as it had cute decor with small plants and several tables for indoor dining. Had a handful of patrons sitting down while eating and sipping on their drinks. The customer service on my first visit was amazing. So attentive and customer service oriented. However. parking had been an issue for me as Liliha St is a busy one with some metered parking. Overall, an excellent first experience and clearly a fan of NK. I've noted to try their toasted coconut lattes cold brew that many of my colleagues rave over, as well as try other offerings, including baked goods, affogato, and kimchi fried rice.

I felt kind of bad because it was a one person show and the owner guy had to accommodate a lot of customers by himself! It was a hot day and a cold drink sounded great. I heard someone mention there was a coffee vendor but the person made it sound like they were only selling cups of hot or iced coffee. Then someone walked by with a matcha drink and I knew I needed to check out Panday's booth. There was a small line of customers and the guy was working hard to chat with people, collect payments and make drinks. When it was my turn, I ordered the "Biko" coffee which is their special Filipino rice/coconut/condensed milk coffee. He said he probably didn't have enough and I should look over the menu to see if I had a second choice. I chose the banana matcha and he said he didn't have any banana syrup. I mean maybe the event was so popular that he ran out of drinks quicker than expected. I guess he was the only food/drink vendor at the event and it was a hot day.... In the end, he had enough Biko for my drink and everything was fine. It was a good latte and flavorful, but idk if I'd go out of my way to find it in the future. I do want to try the banana matcha still though. For a one man operation, this guys is killing it. He makes the espresso shots to order, so drinks may take a little while to get made.

I really was intrigued by their Monkey Coffy but really wanted to try their Matcha when they said that I could combine it for "Monkey Matcha" whaaaaaaat!!!! Their only concern is that the banana syrup could overpower the matcha so they weren't confident to put it on the menu but I tell you it was yummy and yes the syrup was very flavorful as I was told it is made with real bananas and has the equivalent of two bananas in each cup...incredible. The staff is amazing and informed me of the wait with several orders already in the works but I do love the creativity as they bring in the culture crafted in each cup is unique and "sip"ly delicious.

I sampled my friend's fish dish and this was delicious and I think I liked it better than what I got. I wish that the side that they used for the carbs wasn't potatoes and maybe a rice option? They brought some sort of fried fish ball that had a pretty good spicy tartar sauce that everyone on our table was fighting over. Overall, I think the food wasn't something I would come back for, but the service was astounding - especially when someone on our table did not like the drink they ordered - our waitress offered to take it back and serve her another drink that she hopefully liked. Ambiance is very posh and dim - yet casual at the same time. We came at a lunch hour so not too fancy, I can imagine people getting dressed up fancy to go here at night though.
