Menu. Saturday February 21, 2026

Saturday February 21, 2026. We came here around 7:00am and parked right in front. You have to find street parking as there is no private parking lot? Service is friendly and fast. We ordered and the food came out shortly right after. Food was good. Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here. It started to get busy as we were leaving to go to a seminar at the Ala Moana Hotel. I remember this place as having the 99 cents breakfast a very, very long time ago. Support local businesses.

Harry's is one of the best breakfast spots in the area with huge portions and good food. Came here on a Sunday morning and street parked for free. It wasn't super crowded when we got there but the restaurant was completely full when we left around 10:30. I got the beef stew and blueberry pancake combo with the Portuguese sausage. The beef stew is definitely my favorite dish from here. The beef was super tender and so flavorful. There was the perfect amount of vegetables and other toppings with the beef. The blueberry pancakes are fluffy and massive. We were able to get portugese sausage instead of one of the meats listed on the menu. I loved the sweet savory combo of this! The service here is always energetic and friendly, and the food is awesome! Definitely recommend coming here for a delicious breakfast!

My breakfast was great! I invited a friend who is homeless and made sure he had a Christmas. They were packed this morning. We waited about five minutes to be seated. This is the place to go...like a diner, not too noisy. We both had corn beef hash, eggs, rice for me and hash browns for him. I asked for tea, but he wanted ice water. One of the customer watched as I had to get up and didn't get my green tea. I don't mind waiting to warm water up, but to stand up 20 minutes later and ask again, then wait again to warm water again. The waitress kept in the back and I had to wait again to see when she came out again. The lady customer came up on me and went into the kitchen and spoke! I was surprised and must have been the owner or relative! I got a box to take my food with me. They are very generous with the food and tasty...that's why I gave them 5 stars! I can deal with that waitress next time.

Went there for breakfast, because they have a wide variety of menu items. I ordered the spicy pork and a coffee, the spicy pork was good and wasn't that spicy. My wife ordered the bacon crispy with scrambled egg and rice. Which the bacon was very good. The coffee was tasty and the service was great and friendly. Parking is a problem mostly street parking, they have a small area.

Harry's is an adorable hole in the wall diner that was delicious for breakfast. Definitely a local crowd comes here. We split a Deluxe and an order of pancakes and it was the perfect order to try a little of everything. Breakfast fried rice is the side I never knew I needed, it was so good - maybe my favorite thing. They used mismatched dinnerware and one of the dishes came on a plate my grandma used to have, added to my overall love of this place.

Decided to swing by Harry's after morning practice at Magic Island. Hadn't been there since Covid days...What really stood out was the laidback atmosphere and the smiles of the ladies..reminded me of the neighborhood diners back In Japan everyone was like family. The food was great. Had to take home half as cannot eat as much now days. Able to enjoy a leisurely and pleasant Sunday breakfast.

Harry's Cafe is located on the corner of Kamakee and Waimanu Streets, respectively, across from a self-storage facility. It's an old school diner that people who live and/or work around the establishment knows about for all the right reasons. Requested takeaway this Sunday morning and what screams Sunday brunch ( besides a buffet ) but steak and eggs. They have specials that change daily or weekly and I ordered the NY Steak and Eggs; asked for medium-rare and soft scrambled. Steak is not my favorite type of meat entree and the NY cut is not my preferred cut but it was fine...despite being more medium than medium-rare. Plate also came with a good portion of white rice along with the two eggs. Seasoning was restrained on the beef...and I enjoyed the meal. Reasonable prices, quick takeout service, and good food - a locals fave. I walked in and ordered takeway on both occasions. Previously, I had pot roast beef and eggs ( 2 )...but there was dashi added - I am guessing- to the easy over eggs. I don't care for seafood but it didn't stop me from finishing the meal...though I did enjoy it less. The pot roast was winnahs. Parking is tough...there is metered street parking but it is not always easy to find. Hours are from 600a till 1200p; on Sundays it is 0700a to 12 noon.

Corned Corn Beef Hash 2 Eggs W/ Ricebeef

TLDR: just go and get a classic hawaiian breakfast. Service: immediately greeted by friendly staff. We got asked if we wanted coffee before we even sat down. They were so patient and friendly as we were deciding what we wanted to order. She gave us recs. And once decided they went above and beyond to split the plate for us without us even asking. Intuitive staff that know service. Food: we got the loco moco corned beef and hash eggs sunny side up with fried rice. Wow. It was so good!! They nailed that dish. The rice was so flavorful and the gravy was fantastic eggs perfectly cooked. We loved it. Ambiance: very low key diner style but you feel like you're at someone's kitchen. Authentic experience, which is what you're looking for when you're traveling. If you're wondering whether to go or not, GO!

Mini Sausages, Egg and Rice
Kimberly N.

Simple, local delicious Hawaiian breakfast! We were looking for a simple place to have a Hawaiian breakfast. We came on a Monday around 11:30, and most of the dishes were already sold out. The staff is extremely sweet and attentive. This is a no-frills place. You get exactly what you expect. Parking can be tricky, but we found street parking nearby. We got to try a few dishes to share. Deluxe with Fried Rice = This was a lot of food. I couldn't finish by myself, but it was perfect to share. The Portuguese sausage was delicious, and the fried rice was perfection. We got the last one because they sold out of the fried rice. -Mini Smoked Sausages with Eggs and Rice: very delicious and simple! Corned Beef Loco Moco: This dish was a bit too salty for me, but some people in my group loved it. The beef was very tender. -Beef Stew: I loved this one! The stew was flavorful! Overall this is a great place of you want a local vibe with not wait!

While in Honolulu, wanted that blue collar breakfast. Where everyone knows your name. I found it! Had the traditional bacon and eggs. Just like Grandma use to make it. Love the old school feel of this place. I'll be back.

Corned beef loco moco

This place harkens back to the old type of diners. Old school ambiance that I appreciate. Reminds me of simpler times, for sure. The owner Cathy was SO friendly and helpful! The food was filling! My luncheon meat and fried rice breakfast was delicious. My wifes corned beef hash had actual shredded corned beef! Not the canned stuff. It was definitely a pleasant and enjoyable experience for us. Highly recommend Harrys!

That was a lot of food!

I was up very early, and I saw this place online, so I decided to come in for breakfast. They must have a lot of business from the local workers, as Monday through Friday, they open at 5 AM. Street parking can be tricky. I was able to get a spot on the street. I come in, and it's like a funky little coffee shop vibe. . The lady was very friendly. They have a big menu, including a lot of local items. I decided to try the corned beef hash Loco moco. Dear Lord, the thing was huge! There was a big portion of tender rice, and the corned beef hash, also a big portion, was tender and delicious. The eggs were perfectly over easy, and while I thought the gravy was a bit salty for my personal taste, , I know that everybody is different. It was still savory and delicious. I had never had this version of the classic loco moco, , and I really really enjoyed it. The coffee was also very good and she kept my cup full. For this amazing meal, the price was absolutely amazing. I hope to come back either before I go home, or the next time I'm in town. Thank you.

My mom's friend recommended Fete and it was the best meal we had on our trip! I made a reservation…read moreon Open Table and we were seated as soon as we checked in. Our waitress, Alyssa (sp?), was terrific - friendly, energetic, and gave great recommendations. When Alyssa came to take our drink orders, I asked if the mai tai could be made on the sweeter said. She said it couldn't but gave me other recommendations when I asked for drinks that are on the sweeter side. One of those drinks was the meringue di cerdo, which is a drink version of lemon meringue pie (my fave!) and it was perfectly lemony and more on the sweeter side. My mom got an elderflower drink, which she said was just ok. I got the Cioppino and quinoa cakes. The cioppino had a rich seafood flavor that I haven't seen in other versions of the dish I've tried. It came with toast with romanesco sauce. The sauce had a kick without being overly spicy. The quinoa cakes had a similar taste and texture to falafel and were topped with avocado. They were delicious but a little bit on the heavy side. My mom got the beet salad and the cavatappi with sausage, both of which were specials. Though I didn't try the pasta, I did try some of the beet salad. Beets were cooked well. We loved the crispy shallots. We were full so no room for dessert! Only downside was the noise as we were first seated but it seemed to quiet down during our time at Fete. Would recommend/return!

It was our first time dining here last night (7/11) and what a gem of a restaurant! Chris was our…read moreserver and let us know the specials of the day. He described everything with such care that it was hard not to order everything! I'd highly recommend a reservation as there was not an empty table the entire two hours we were there. The restaurant is on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but our table had great conversations and a overall lovely time. Appetizer: We ordered the konpachi hush puppies (apologies, they had a nicer name but this is how they were described to us) and they were delicious! I'm not a lover of fish, but these were so flavorful and the sauce paired perfectly with it. Drinks: I had the meringue di cedri to drink and it was akin to a lemon drop (10/10) it was sippable and lasted my whole meal. Husband had the Hana Koa Rice Breaker, which is one of his favorites as its smooth and pairs well with honestly anything. Entree: You will be missing out if you don't get the lemon risotto. I ordered it with the prosciutto and it may be one of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. The zucchini is done two ways in it: diced to be mixed in with the risotto and thinly sliced and grilled on top of the risotto. The panko crumbs on top really solidified the plate for me as top tier as risotto can get to be boring to eat after a few bites as they can lack texture, but not this risotto! Every bite was a journey and it was a very filling meal. My husband ordered the Korean steak and said it was better than some of the local steakhouses we had gone to. Our friend ordered the spaghetti carbonara and enjoyed it as well. Dessert: We were encouraged to try the Rocky Road ice cream and decided it was a must have when you visit. It was creamy, rich and delectable. We also opted to try the dessert special of the evening which was a Lilikoi cheesecake with a chocolate mousse. The cheesecake had a sour tang to it and the chocolate mousse partner with it to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet. We loved it and I know in a few days we'll be craving this meal all over again!

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. There is a big stall which was perf since baby is potty training and had to go #1 and #2! Only thing missing was a hook to hang my purse and her bag.

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day.

My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
