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. read more

Man, I really wanted to like this place. Food. Ahi Salad needs work. Cucumbers were amazing, but the fish, well for some reason it was dry. I mean reallllly dry. It was seared perfectly, but it tasted like it was dry aged. LOL. I don't know if it was a cut issue, a storage issue, or a fish issue, but I've never had seared ahi that was dusty and dry. Don't recommend. The eggs benedict were tasty. My only comment is that I'm used to the egg on a Benedict bursting when you pop it. These eggs were WAY over cooked. I did, however, like that there was avocado at the bottom of it, but not sure how I feel about a slice of tomato in it though. The Wagyu loco moco. Disappointing. I definitely would not do this dish again. The meat in the patty was hard and compressed. Gravy was good. Service. Didn't have anyone offer to fill the drinks, don't know if the coffee is bottomless, but they never offered more coffee, or a reheat or anything. I don't want to single anyone out, but there was one person who clearly didn't want to be there...had the attitude of a waitress at a truck stop in Central Texas. Nothing against Texas. Ambience. I think they could improve the place by having some kind of accoustic in the wall to mitigate the sound. There weren't a lot of people inside and it was sooooo loud. Couldn't hear the person across from me. I would hate to be hear when it's full. All of that said, I think I'd give it two more stars if it wasn't so expensive. read more

Had it not been for Yelp I wouldn't have stopped into Guieb (King St). The location isn't great. Its parking was cramped. The strip mall this place resides in leaves something to be desired. It's a modest cafe with descent seating. I couldn't locate a bathroom inside so maybe it's outside somewhere? What matters most is the space was clean and the employees were attentive, hard working and kind. I ordered the Ube French Toast with a side of eggs over medium and a carbonated mango drink. My friend ordered a steak special with fried rice and eggs sunny side up. I thought my food was a coco-nutty Ube delight. It was a fun meal but I thought the price was steep for the plate. I paid $16 for the French toast and $6 for two eggs. I know prices are high in Hawaii but it seems like a stretch for 2 slices of French toast. I wouldn't order the Mango-mosa again. It was a cute yet tiny drink with little flavor for $5. Fortunately my friends plate had more generous portions and she truly loved and devoured her meal. We also tried their beignets. I've had beignets before that were closer to what you might get in New Orleans. This to me is closer to a fried doughnut with some filling on top and in the middle. read more

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! read more

This was off the beaten tourist path and worth the adventure. The dining area is small and feels cozy like dining with family. I would buy the ube marscapone in a bucket. I took one bite of my pillowy soft French toast and it felt like my problems went away. The service was fast and friendly. The only thing I didn't like were the beignets they tasted like the oil was used for something else, the concept se3m3d amazing. I hope to dine here again before leaving the island. read more

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! read more

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. read more

SO ONO!! Possibly the best Hole in the wall experience...sortra. lol It's all about the experience! Don't know how I missed this one... I only learned about Guieb Cafe on this trip. Guieb came highly recommended by on of the da Wahine's friends who was a local. The venue itself isn't the nicest, I'd say it's more a larger hole in the wall. The location is not ideal, parking is rather difficult, if you can find it and the spaces are tight! This inside is fine, not the biggest of places, but everything is clean and well kept. #GuiebGrindz: ~ Guieb Bowls: spicy ahi & lechon kawali - 5/5 5 ***** for that presentation alone! Then there is the taste to back it up... The Lechon was perfect; deep-fried to a golden, crackling crisp. And the Spicy Ahi was so fresh as well. This is something I would expect from a Michelin Star venue. ~ Oxtail Soup (Daily Specials) - 4/5 Very good flavor, tender Oxtail, but a bit on the Saltier side. ~ PANCAKES: Ube Mascarpone - 5/5 Again with that presentation! Incredible Ube Mascarpone. Probably one of the Best I had! Made in house, not too sweet. PERFECTION!! The staff were super friendly and welcoming; service was brilliant. They even gave us some extra Ube mascarpone after they saw us cleaning up the container...lol. Mahalo! Only adding to the incredible experience of dining at Guieb... This is now one of my go to spots when I head back to Oahu. Chee Hoo! read more

* Umi pancakes 3.5/5 * Crab cake 4.5/5 * Loco moco 3/5 -Umi pancakes we're nice and fluffy. Needed more purple butter. Was just missing a little bit more of a kick or something special to it. - crabcake was definitely the star of the meal. I don't like seafood, but this was really good. Not too fishy nice egg on top went well with hot sauce. - the Loco mocha wasn't bad but I've definitely had better. The gravy was nothing special and the meat could use more seasoning and a lighter cook. read more

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! read more

Also ordered a veggie omelet for something a bit healthier - it was overall a decent omelet with a LOT of cheese. read more

I had the prime Rib Loco Moco and my friend had the Cajun Ahi. R decided to split and share our entrees. I thought the Cajun Ahi was pretty good. I ordered the Prime Rib medium rare. I think the Prime Rib was a pretty good portion. It was however a little on the tougher side as i really had to cut through it with their knife. Maybe would have been better to have gotten a steak knife instead. The presentation was good and just wanted to dive in. I was kinda hungry. Lol. I like that the eggs over easy were not broken. I like to break that yolk over the rice and gravy. That's a winning combination for me. The waitress was really nice. She had a good humor and personality to her. It's kinda like seeing a friend you haven't seen for a while. The whole staff was very happy and very attentive. It's a good ohana type of feeling. read more

I finally checked out Guieb in Kalihi (same area as Diners) just off North King Street. Parking can be a little snug if you're driving a big vehicle, but trust me it's worth the effort. I ordered the Ube Mascarpone pancakes topped with fresh fruit plus a side of longanisa, and wow! The pancakes were soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked. I just wished there was more mascarpone because it was so good. Even with a full house, the food came out fast, the service was on point, and I left stuffed and extremely satisfied. Solid eats, great service, and definitely a spot I'd come back to. Highly recommend. read more

10/10 dining experience all around! Stopped by for a quick brunch before an appointment. Was pouring rain, so about half empty. The way Guieb does its meals is just how I like to eat -- a little bit of everything that sounds good! Highly recommend Da Three Bite plate. You get a little loco moco, crab cake Benedict, and the most delicious ube pancakes you'll ever have in your life. I wish more restaurants did samplers. Nothing but ono grindz. Best of all, service was excellent. Ladies working were all so kind and attentive. We'll be back soon! read more

First off I understand it is Mother's Day so it's little extra chaotic. Put my online order in using their site at 8:48 with a 25 min pick up time. Got there around 9:25 to give some extra time knowing they are probably busy. They said my order would be out shortly, at 9:45 walk back in to check and was told still not ready continue to wait outside and we will call you. At 10:01 order finally was ready. Don't get me wrong food here is good but not worth that type of wait and service. read more

This is one of our favorite places. We've been to both the Kalihi and Wahiawa locations. Staff is attentive, friendly, and provide quick service. We were seated immediately and given menus. This last time, I got the adobo fried rice with lechon kawali (my favorite) and my husband got the poi mochi waffles with a side order of eggs. The food was delicious as always. The adobo fried rice was generous with the adobo, with large chunks of meat all over. Other places usually just have a few tiny pieces or shreds. A thin scrambled fried egg blanket covers it. The lechon kawaili is not tossed up in the vinegar sauce, but it's served in a little cup on the side instead so you can control how vinegary you want it. My husband enjoyed his poi mochi waffles. It was crispy outside, with a slight chewiness inside from the mochi flour. It's served with a white coconut syrup in a cup so you can control the amount. There's a restroom in the back. You have to pass through the kitchen to get to it. read more

Decent hole in the wall cafe. Nothing fancy but they have an interesting menu with a lot of options serving both breakfast and lunch items whenever you go. No alcohol is served here. I had the sampler plate with popular 3 things for $24. I wouldn't order this item again nor would I get any of the items individually because none were amazing (IMHO). The plate was the exact size to hold each item so if you don't like your food to mix together this is not the thing to get. The height of the locomoco made it hard to eat on a narrow space. The wagyu beef loco moco was my least favorite. Despite it being "wagyu" beef patty it was very dense and hard. I've had better patties at zippys and I don't even like zippy's. I'd rather the meat be less packed together and more fall apart/ tender. The egg on top was perfectly cooked and the rice tower made it stand tall on my tiny plate which was bursting to contain the 3 items on it. The gravy was very rich, kind of salty, not amazing. The crab cake egg Benedict was my fav out of the 3 but I wouldn't order it again on its own. The crab cake was a hash brown with imitation crab inside of it. Interesting take on a crab cake. Hash brown was crisp. Egg perfectly cooked. Hollandaise sauce was bland. There was avocado in it too but the avocado was brown and not fresh. The ube pancake was dry and bland, the only thing it has going for it is the ube butter cream on top. Otherwise it was dryyyy. And crumbly. It needed more sauce/ butter/ flavor/ anything but just purple. Hubby had the ube French toast and it was like dessert. Very sweet. He ordered a side of bacon and eggs and the eggs came out immediately leaving him waiting for the rest of his food separately. Coffee was good. They refilled our cups without us having to flag anyone down. Service was prompt. Plenty of parking. They do military and KUPU a discount of 10%. read more

So many great options on this Filipino-Hawaiian inspired menu! It was hard to decide so I just had to go with what I was craving that day - corned beef with eggs! I know it should really go with rice but couldn't resist when I saw you could upgrade to sweet potato fries. We also had the longsilog and the ube french toast. Overall food was pretty good, but my portion was just alright on the corned beef and sweet potato fries weren't very crispy. I wish I had gone for the 3 Bite flight which features a mini version of three of their top items! The longanisa was cooked really nicely, probably the best item we got. I also liked that the ube french toast came with both ube and coconut sauces. Food did come out quickly though which is a must because that place is tiny inside, so quick turnover is definitely needed. I don't think I'd necessarily need to come back again but I'm glad we tried it out. read more

Guibe was hands down one of the best food we had in Hawaii. Everything tasted so fresh and truly felt like it was made with love. Every bite was delicious, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. The service was spectacular. The two ladies working there were so kind and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. The ambiance is very family friendly and welcoming. It is a little tight inside, but it is absolutely worth it for how amazing the food and service are. We would definitely come back! read more

I found this restaurant through Yelp. 5 stars isn't just about food, its location, service, ambiance, food quality and taste. For starters this restaurant is located in a less than desirable strip mall. the service was okay, The food wasn't anything memorable or special. There were a few homeless hanging out front, and one came into the restaurant and was sent off with her request. The water cups wreaked of egg scent and my husband left there with a belly ache. We won't be back. read more

Perfection!! I should of reviewed this gem a while back. But I am selfish and don't want more people to come! Haha We love this place. There is nothing bad here. Service is great. Be prepared to wait. Smaller tables and 4 and less move faster. If you have a large party, be ok that it will take a while, this is a small place but so good! My only suggestion would be to season the beef more or better in the loco moco patty. But still amazing. For our family of 5 with growing boys who eat and order as full grown adults the average is $75. read more

This was probably my favorite breakfast place in Oahu, HI. We didn't have to wait long (no reservations were allowed, just walk ins) and at the time we came - it was convenient that it was happy hour! Therefore our dish was HALF OFF. However, even it wasn't for that deal, I still would've loved the experience. We ended up ordering their popular dishes: ube mascarpone pancakes, crab cake, and the country fried steak. My favorite was the ube mascarpone pancakes - nothing has topped it back here in California. It was so so so good. Definitely recommend coming in here! Wished we came more often read more

Finally tried Guieb Cafe. I knew about it for years, but just never made it out. Went for brunch and a friend made a reservation. But, it was just ok for me. I ordered their prime rib loco moco, which is a signature dish. The gravy was very salty and the beef itself was just ok - not amazing in any way. Not worth it to me for $24. Portion was large though. Servers were very attentive, friendly and efficient. But I will probably not return. Seems popular, but not for me. read more

Looked up a brunch place and found that this place had good ratings. However, I feel that we did not. Maybe it's just me but for the Ube pancakes, every time I dug in the texture was so crumbly and dry. The taste was good, but the texture was dry. I had the garlic shrimp plate which was alright, I should gotten it with white rice instead of fried rice because of the saltiness. I ordered a chicken tender basket for my daughter. It was NOT edible, her chicken was so overcooked that it was rubber... we just gave her some of our brunch. Maybe we just went on an off day? read more

Two things I mainly judge a spot by - food quality and service. And this place did not disappoint. Food - yummy. Adobo fried rice was very flavorful. Loved the crispy chicken on the waffles. Waffles were good, nothing special, I got the plain waffles. Price - pretty good for the amount of food. Service - the star. Our party of four waited only about 15-20 min on a Sunday morning with six parties in front of us. Food came out so quick I was so surprised. All staff were nice but not overbearing. You know the type that come to your table too often asking how is everything? That can get annoying. They checked in with us just the right amount haha. Ambiance - not always super important to me. This is a family run business so don't expect fine china. It's a great diner, homey type feel. Bathroom - through the kitchen. read more
