    My brother decided to go to this place for breakfast or early lunch we choose when we get there. I ordered their hamburger steak with gravy and it was good. Ordered the mini plate hamburger is homemade gravy was good not salty. My husband ordered hawn plate. Only thing he said the tripe stew was thick lots of tripe pieces and poi is still watery. Everything else was good. My brother ordered chop steak with noodles. He said it was a little sweet but other than that was filling. If you like the drive out to Waianae then try them.

    That's what the inside of the hamburger looks like!!

    So this is my third time here & figured it's time to leave a review. Totally local style with food and service! Can't go wrong -I have to say the banana pancakes & the simple hamburger deluxe was soooo Ono- caught off guard! Prepared just right yet juicy! Next time I come I'll have to try the hamburger steak special. Had to bring hubby and he's logged it as a must try!

    I've been coming here since I've been home helping my parents and this place is one I keep coming back to! Talk about old school vibes, friendly staff, reasonable prices but the food? It really speaks for itself! I usually get the chicken katsu or cutlet the serve plate lunches old school style with the Kim chee and seaweed and sesame cabbage on a separate plate. When your plate of food comes I hope ur hungry cause it's massive! And delishes!!

    This place mindset of an old school diner. Plenty of parking, staff is fiendly, food was tasty. It's tucked away in a corner, but can be easily spotted from the main road. Give them a try when you're in Waianae. Aloooooooha and happy eating.

    Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Old school staple restaurant of the west side. Big portions and fair prices. Tasty food. I got the spicy pork (bc it wasnt included in the mixed plate) and hubs got the mixed plate. I wasnt really hungry bc we just ate at a juice place but had been wanting to eat here too. So we took a bunch of it home for a midnight snack. I know family members love to eat here and I can see why. We will be back and hopefully get to eat breakfast bc I hear its really good.

    Loco Moco Gravy All Over!

    Great Food! Great Service!Old School Local Setting! We always get the Ox Tail Soup & Loco Moco which is the Best on the Island!!!

    Stopped here for breakfast based on ratings. We were not disappointed, I normally don't do 5 stars unless it's really impressive. This local spot is great! We walked in and there was locals in there. We got loco moco, breakfast plater and other meals. Food was really good and super friendly service. Definitely worth eating here.

    Hannara has been a staple of the Waianae Coast. When I'm in the area I'll stop by. My friend from East Oahu loves their beef stew.

    Food was amazing full of flavor the sticky rice was perfect. Waffles were on point but the LocoMoco was the best

    Food was delicious. Service was great. It's self seating, then they bring you your menu, water, take food order, bring utensils.. etc Inside is very spacious, lots of seats available, tons of older decorations (place has been open for decades) Very big food portions, let the pictures speak for itself. We ordered the Hawaiian Plate, Hannara Korean Special, Bi Bim Kook Soo & Chap Chae.

    Walked in and was seated rather quickly. Got water and ordered rather quickly too. Food arrived just as quick. Love that they have homemade patties still and they're nice and thick. Service is quick and they check back often. Only thing, there were lots of flies floating around. I was trying to enjoy my meal and whoosh the flies at the same time. I don't see a blue light anyways. Anyways, that was the only downfall.

    It's like a more local and traditional version of Zippy's, with comforting homestyle flavors and a cozy, down-to-earth vibe. The menu has that familiar island-style feel, perfect for a quick bite or a casual meal with friends. One of the best parts is that they open early, which makes it a solid go-to spot for breakfast or early errands.

    Upscale Hawaii - Signature Ahi Steak w/ bomb sauce

    Upscale Hawaii

    21.6 miKalihi
    $$

    Little overdue of a review but here we go lol…read more. Diners has been a staple for my family & I , and I'm sure many other families on island for YEARS. Our family's go to was always Cheeseburger and yellow sauce with fries! As time and society evolved , so did Diners, since they became "Upscale" and added more things to their menu. I have tried their Grilled lobster plate more than once from their Upscale menu in the past and I think during that time it was $15? Not sure if it's still that price, but for that price it was a winner! Lobster + salad and rice ? What more can you ask for since that's basically a steal in today's economy. Anyway , I was in the area recently and decided on diners for dinner. I was really craving ahi katsu, unfortunately my go to spot was already closed since I decided on dinner a little after 8pm ish? So I thought .. well diners has ahi katsu supposedly .. why not give it a try. I wasn't expecting much since it was Diner's BUT needless to say.. their ahi katsu is DELICIOUS. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection! I love the sauce they drizzle on the katsu. I should've asked for extra sauce on the side had I known it was gonna be yummy! But that's something to keep note of on my next visit in the future. I definitely would order this plate again! And continue to adventure out on their menu lol. A tip to keep in mind : they do have signs posted by their windows to be patient when ordering because they do take a bit to make and give you your order since they are always short staffed. And there's normally alot of people waiting or ordering since lots come to this establishment right after work or in between work or just simply there for a bite to grab. So prepare to wait .. but sometimes you can be lucky where it doesn't take as long. It does truly depend on time and the day I guess. Also one last thing, my personal opinion , I think Diners is worth grabbing food from. Whether you're hungry , in the area or wanting to grind. Some people have mixed reviews or bad experiences but me personally , I always had a good outcome. Oh also before I forget their steak is delicious too (LOL) , never ordered it for myself but I shared some of it with one of my relatives who ordered their steak before. Give this place a shot!

    This morning stopped to have a quick breakfast at the old Diners in Kalihi . It's now called…read moreUpscale Hawaii . It's funny the new name it's the same old Diners . Maybe the menu change a little but same ordering counter limited tables with the cement seating like I remembered over 20years ago lol . I had their breakfast special not bad @ $9.95 2 eggs, rice, choice of meats , I decided on Vienna sausage and they gave 7 pieces very generous I've been to places they either gave between 4-5 . Service was like usual pretty slow the lady at the counter was getting the phone orders and the live customers orders mix up . So it took awhile with only 2 customers in front of me .

Plenty of parking, the Cafe is the bottom portion of the building that also houses Lanterns Tavern upstairs, which has a big sign (Countryside Cafe does not have signage). So, if you see Lanterns Tavern, you are in the right place. During my visit, outdoors was full, but inside was basic but quaint and gave off those country vibes one doesn't get that often. The menu has a full range, from eggs, pancakes, loco moco to poke, pork chops and seemingly everything in between. I went the breakfast route and the food was really good - at least that Kalua benedict. It consisted of this perfectly salty Kalua pork, spinach, tomato and perfectly poached eggs on an English muffin, topped with a mild hollandaise. And it was reasonably priced for Hawaii (read less than $20), if I recollect, it was closer to that $15 price point. It came with a heaping side of potatoes (or rice). Service was kind and quick. The bathroom while clean was very basic, just a heads up for those that look for a bit more bougie of bathrooms. Overall, a perfect brunch to fill your belly for a day of adventuring.

We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful view, however, there were numerous flies and cats hanging around the seating area. Tip: Don't sit at the outdoor table near the door as you will be constantly hearing the bell ring each time someone uses the door. Food was pretty good. The Kim chee fried rice was tasty but the spice level was pretty mild. Service was fine. No major issues though we did feel a bit rushed. Overall, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but it's fine if I was in the area. Much rather go to Liliha bakery for the ambiance and service.

Felt spoiled with the amazing beachfront views and some of the best food we had all vacation long. Best part, it was all for a fraction of the price compared to what we've been paying at the ritzy or main stream spots. They have drink specials and happy hours! Sooo worth it. The poke nachos and crispy pork coupled with drinks, heaven! Our kids loved the firecracker chicken, mildly spicy but not overwhelming for them. There were so many options we didn't get to try, which means we will be back soon! We enjoyed the music and the sounds of the waves. Kids even played by the water while we finished our cocktails from the deck. It's exactly what we envisioned our vacation to be! So, if you could skip the over priced ritzy places that end up subpar, I would and come here. It's off the beaten path a little and tucked away on a small street, but worth the visit. We often visit Ko Olina side of Oahu and can honestly say we found our affordable go-to! Also left with some of their swag to represent because the aloha love was thee best!
