    Longsilog
    Harlan K.

    Guieb is a wonderful brunch spot. This original location is hidden in the same complex as Diners on North King Street, just a baseball throw away from the Kalihi Post Office. We enjoyed the longsilog (sweet Filipino sausage) and eggs as well as their breakfast ribeye special that I added some blackened mahi. It does get busy on the weekend so I suggest you come early, because there are not that many seats. The staff quickly refilled our water glasses and coffee. I heard that this location maybe temporarily closed so check out their sister locations in Aiea and Wahiawa. The ube pancakes are to die for. #bigboyproblems

    Food is made fresh, with fresh products. Inside of the restaurant has intimate small number of seating. Loved the taste, options, and the attention to detail.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Broke da mouth! The combination of the grilled pineapple, creamy avocado, and peppery arugula was absolute perfection. Every bite had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors. The burger was juicy, the onion rings were crispy, and the sweet potato fries were delicious. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had--I'll definitely be back! The service was great too. Didnt have to ask to be refilled it was automatic. The Restaurant was smaller than I thought however they are moving to a bigger location in downtown.

    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.

    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!

    If you're looking for Hawaiian Filipino fusion breakfast then this is the place! Honestly so happy about everything we ordered. We came around 9am on a Friday morning and it was busy inside but we didn't wait for longer than 10 mins to get seated. I got the Bangsilog and we shared the ube mascarpone pancakes - loved both of them. Felt like really nostalgic Filipino breakfast and the milk fish was fried and fresh. The ube mascarpone is sooo good and not too sweet or heavy. Highly recommend ordering those! Everything was priced fairly and the service was super quick. All the food came out within 15-20 mins of ordering. Would definitely recommend this place!

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. Eyes always bigger than my stomach, we ordered: - Cornbread - when i grabbed it I thought would be super dense but really wasn't. I thought it was very corny and tasty. Lightly toasted. 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. Bathrooms are not assigned which I'm sure can get gross, but is great to not have to wait for just the women's.

The Duck Confit was yummy! I thought the duck was going to be super dry, but when you eat it with the jam that came with it, it's very good. I requested for a little bit more of the jam but was given just balsamic glaze... My friend said her scallop risotto was watery and not the same as the last time she went. My bfs prime rib was okay. Bone marrow was okay. The chicken pasta, octopus appetizer, salad, and mac n cheese were lacking flavor and tasted okay. I would recommend dining here if you do not have plans after.

    I honestly don't understand the hype surrounding this place, the reality is completely misleading…read more I called 15 minutes ahead to place an order. The employee took it and immediately hung up on me--no name taken, no "thank you," no "goodbye." When I arrived, the parking was a mess, so I had to be dropped off. Inside, the food display looked sad, and the cashier looked completely miserable and unpresentable. While waiting patiently on the side for 15 minutes, I watched the kitchen staff preparing food. Red flag: they literally microwave their eggs instead of cooking them fresh. After 30 minutes of total waiting time, I finally went up to check on my order, only to find out the cashier hadn't even handed my ticket to the kitchen yet. She sent it back right in front of me without a single word of apology--just a blank stare. I cancelled my order on the spot. Horrible service, zero management, and low-quality food prep. Save your golden time & money and go somewhere else. Definitely not a place where I'd want my food prepared!

This is clearly a popular local coffee and snack shop so I will keep this place in mind since it's locally owned and operated and their decaf is processed via osmosis, not chemicals. That's a big plus.

It's quintessentially Hawai'i. For dessert, grab a coco puff or chocolate cream puff (or two, or three...) for to-go. Their other desserts are quite as exciting, imo. Overall, I think their breakfast is the best bet and their fried rice is also great. Huge bowls of saimin as well. Where they get iffy is lunch/dinner like fried chicken, prime rib, etc. They do make a good (and HUGE) BLT on a croissant. Can't miss this! In between East and westbound Nimitz next to Tokyo Joe's steakhouse. Parking is around all four sides of the building but can be hard to find a space during busy hours (9-11am).
