    We stayed at this hotel, Hilton LXR Ka La'i Waikiki (formerly Trump Hotel), and wanted to check out this restaurant to use our daily $50 food and beverage credit for having a status with Hilton. Anyhoo, we knew the prices will be higher than the outside food vendors and that is to be expected at any restaurants based within a hotel. We still wanted to try their breakfast as the outdoorsy atmosphere was very pleasant. You can either opt in to get the full breakfast buffet but that was about $50 per person. We chose to order a la carte and ordered breakfast omelette and mochi pancakes. Service was friendly but slightly delayed as we were mixed in with the buffet customers. But they were very professional and friendly nonetheless. Mochi pancakes were pretty spectacular, I must say. It had a slightly chewy texture, truly mochi-like, and the combination of the Japanese influence with the American pancakes was very well done. The fruits on top of the pancakes were very fresh and the whole dish was very tasty. I want to go back just for these mochi pancakes. Omelette was also very good and the toasts were heavenly. Now, would I be willing to pay full price for this breakfast? 4 stars out of 5 is my answer.

    Shucks didn't read Yelp good enough! Check in for 15% off on your bill totally missed this. Just went to get a little side thing for the baby so got the scrambled eggs bacon and potatoes for take out and we had to wait 15 min for it and then was charged 18% gratuity for take out :/ Also the breakfast potatoes had rosemary very strong seasoning flavor for a child's breakfast. Should've checked in to save on that gratuity!

    Have a memorable breakfast experience at In- Yo Cafe the open-air restaurant with stunning ocean and city views. The chefs prepare savory egg dishes, served alongside fruits and pastries. Order your favorite coffee or sample a variety of fresh local juices. In-Yo Cafe allows for you to enjoy family-style and made-to-order options. I went with the made to order three egg omelet, which included toast and breakfast potatoes for $23. Looking forward to trying the 'Ohana Breakfast Buffet next visit!

    Check in on YELP and get 15% off, not that's going to help you at all when you get the bill...(insert maniacal laughter here). Just make sure you check your bill because the server forgot to give us the discount, NOT that it helped...(insert maniacal laughter here). We skipped the breakfast buffet because we took a "pre-buffet tour" and looked at all the foods, and it was $40 for cold items only. Not a deal by any chance. The food was just OK, wasn't spectacular or memorable, just was OK. The only cute things that I really liked were the small jars of individual jams, jellies and honey that I put in my bag...(insert maniacal laughter here). Of course, I did ask the server if it was free and he said yes. I will take all the free things I can get because spending a $126.00 here for a breakfast of 5-persons was hurtful, and the $50 a day credit you get as a Kama'aina for the Trump International didn't take the sting away. The next morning, we walked over to Duke's Waikiki for the all-you-can-eat-breakfast buffet for $23.50 a person. RETURN FACTOR: $30 for five cups of coffee. NO if I was paying. YES if you were paying.

    We were not sure what to expect for breakfast given the mixed reviews, but I'm happy to report that they are now back to serving a full breakfast buffet! Apparently they recently made the change because when I called the restaurant about a month ago, they still had the ohana option. It was absolutely fabulous and we were very impressed. Everything was so well done with the finest selections of hot foods especially. There is a whole array of different choices. Cost was $40 and don't forget to check in on Yelp for a 15% discount. Pls note they add a mandatory tip of 18% to all checks.

    Came here around 7:30am, and surprisingly had to wait about 15 mins for a table. We got the Ohana breakfast, which includes yogurt, assorted pastries, fruit, potatoes, breakfast meats, and a choice of an entree. Service was ok here - took a long time overall, and they forgot about the potatoes/meats until we asked them. The side items were all solid and nicely presented. I got the salmon benedict, which was bomb! Definitely 5/5 for this dish! Everything was perfection about the benedict. The egg was perfectly runny. The toast tasted like it had some butter on it. The dish was nicely salted, and the arugula added a nice pop of flavor. The salmon was delicious. I checked into Yelp after leaving the restaurant and sadly missed out on the 15% off deal, so definitely check in to Yelp to take advantage of the deal (if the restaurant honors it).

    Three Egg Omelet
    Riese L.

    Conveniently located in the Trump hotel right below the pool so the parking is free and it's valet. The eggs Benedict was scrumptious and a perfect portion. The three egg omelet came with ALL the fixings, they didn't make you chose only a specific amount of meat or veggies and add everything at additional costs. The buffet was kinda pricey for a breakfast buffet but it was still yummy. service was great too. Very attentive. Would go back again!

    Some food from the cold buffet
    Ashley T.

    The selection of food for the breakfast continental buffet is really great. From overnight oats to a variety of fruits to smoked salmon and prosciutto, everything is always very fresh and delicious. The sweet papaya, smoked salmon, and zucchini bread were definitely the highlights of my breakfast every morning! While the coffee is pretty mediocre, the food and other beverages they offer here are perfect for a good meal to start your day.

    The best part of this place was the PEOPLE- they wait staff were unbelievably friendly, kind, wonderful to talk to. They had all been with the hotel for multiple years- showing their commitment to the place. They never had a tone, were never rude, but always willing to chat, were so so friendly and kind. The food was good, not over the top amazing, but definitely good. The frittata was a bit dry, but still very tasty. They had a ton of options for different types of eaters: egg white, beef, fruit, oatmeal, etc. so you can bring any type of eater and they can find something on the menu. The seating area, table and outdoor area was very nice, very pleasant place to eat. The chairs and tables were perfect for a mid-morning breakfast / brunch. Nice and big and sturdy wood. If you're staying at the trump hotel- definitely go for a morning bite!

    Convenient if you stay at the hotel. We had breakfast here 3 days in a row as it was so convenient and we had a hungry 8 year old with us. Food is just normal breakfast stuff, coffee was good, staff are consistently friendly.

    Excellent service! From when we first sat down until the end. Our server Roxanne was very attentive and so kind. She assured that we had no problems with the food and always checked to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious. We got the ohana buffet and it came with yummy pastries, drinks, meats and fruits and I also got the eggs Benedict with a side of hollandaise so good!

    These stick donuts were so yummy!
    Nadia K.

    Our party of 10 was made up of 5 adults, 3 kids, and 2 crying babies which didn't make for the most relaxing breakfast buffet. But being situated outdoors, in the beautiful Trump International Hotel, we managed to enjoy a delicious breakfast. The buffet spread includes pastries and some of the best stick donuts in town, as well as a made to order omelet station. Yogurt, fresh fruits, waffles, miso soup, somen, and standard items like scrambled eggs and bacon are also on all you can eat status. You can also order items if they are not on the line that day like French toast, pancakes, breakfast meats, and oatmeal from your server. The kids loved ordering smoothies that were included in the buffet price. What really stood out to me was the service. Our servers were amazing and always on point. It made our experience outstanding. Adults are $33 and children 6 and over are $17. The breakfast buffet is served daily from 6:30-10:30am.

My favorites were the oysters, steamed and hot crab legs, Marinated Kalbi, and Tobikko Temaki (Hand-roll) I went around 3 times grabbing all the good stuff!! even my wife that doesn't eat much kept up with me! Props to the chefs and the establishment for having a good variety and upkeeping the quality. SERVICE: It was on a slower night so had many open tables. Came in at 5:30 with a reservation and got sat right away. Hostesses were very friendly and informative about the restaurant. If I had any questions, they would answer confidently. Our server was also amazing, came with waters, took our drink order, cleaned our tables many times (sorry, we're messy eaters). renewed utensils as needed, water glass was always full, and had small talk with us as well too. He also timed our dinner perfectly to bring out an anniversary cake for us when we started on desserts. 5/5 for service it was our first time here and i'm already trying to find another occasion so I can come back here!

Happy hour is only available in the bar area near the entrance. At that time, it was just us and one other group, with two bartenders working. Service was attentive, fast, and pleasant.

I requested medium rare, but it came out closer to medium well. Even so, the steak itself was good quality and flavorful. By the time we were leaving around 5, the Mother's Day crowd started pouring in and things looked a bit chaotic, so we were glad we came early and avoided the rush.

I picked the 6 items, now keep in mind it says "Family Meal Deal" when you get your items, family - ? don't think it will be enough to feed your family depending on how many is in your family. I got the 6 items for $55.95 and paid $8. for Chow fun. The 6 item choice I picked were : fish filet ( got the wrong order) roast duck, string beans, ginger chicken, sweet sour pork, and chicken wings. What a surprise when I opened up the bag to set up for our Super Bowl spread, they were cute little take out containers like the kind you would use for leftovers at the Chinese restaurant. They weren't even filled to the top. It was little like sample dishes. Wow. also the food did not taste fresh, all the food I got tasted like they were reheated, except for the chicken wings. The chow fun was a regular portion but it was on the oily side. I hope Hawaii99 Take Out Express takes down the huge poster in front, its very misleading and false advertisement. I have another review to write regarding my family dinners, this will be continued- will update. I just want to get this out there in case you want to get the family meal deal. Its really a joke! Luckily we had other foods at the Super Bowl gathering and also ordered pizza last minute. Sorry family, I am pretty much mad at myself, I outsmarted myself again. ** see my photo of what they call a "family meal deal" in tips**

    Located in the same parking lot of Times Beretania they are right across the main entrance of…read moreTimes. The Dry Beef Chow Fun was very good and tasty and the noodles were on the thicker side not really thin like some other places, the beef was tender and good size slices. The portion size of the dish could feed 3 maybe 4. The cold Ginger Chicken was also very good and tasty and the flavor was really good and it wasn't overly salty. The Spring beans were cooked just right not over cooked and the flavor was different, but very good and the pork was sliced and the taste was really good. You can bring in your own BYOB! The restroom are outside of the restaurant and shared by all the business there, sadly in the men's restroom looked like a person was living there with some clothes and a dog bed and a packages of personal belongings scattered all over the bathroom floor. They said the tell the management and custodians, but somehow cannot keep who ever is living in there even with a key system they have to use the restroom. Overall the food is great!

    The service was standout, I feel bad that I do not remember her name as she went above and beyond…read morein her service. We went for dinner after Kualoa Ranch, on our way back to Honolulu. They do have a large parking lot. They don't do reservations. But this is less of a problem here then other places. We were not lucky with the weather, if it was good, the ground are beautiful gardens. They do have one of the best waiting areas I've ever seen, as well as a bar area, to wait in, so you are not hovering over others as they eat. You can also order drinks and apps in the area. Their mango margarita was standout, "it tastes just like a mango!" The restaurant appears to be arranged so that most tables have some of a view of their open patio. Even with the rain, it was lovely, and they lit touches as it grew dark. The menu is the right size, I think a more focused menu lends to better food. We had difficulty deciding as everything sounded great. We started with their poke, very good, and nicely presented. I had the grilled fish, which was great, and my friends had two very different steaks. One got the prime rib, and it was on theme for our dinosaur tour at the ranch. It arrived as big as her head, all three of us could have enjoyed it. Great experience and I hope to return without the side of rain.

    Honestly, the food was not good and I'm genuinely sad I spent the time and money here. I wouldn't…read morerecommend it. Service was okay! We did a walk-in and the wait was a little over an hour, which sucked, but it wasn't as bad since we sat in the lounge area, ordered apps, and our server there was super nice and attentive. Once we got seated, our server was kind, just a bit quiet/reserved. Only got talkative when he as trying to upsell the dessert. The food though... very mid. I asked for medium rare and got a steak that was clearly undercooked--cold in the center and no flavor at all. We had waited so long I figured I'd just take it back to my room and cook it more myself. I literally had to dip it into my husband's chicken plate sauce just to get some taste. For apps, we got the spicy poke, ceviche, and garlic bread. The "spicy" poke wasn't spicy, and the ceviche had basically no flavor. Garlic bread was okay, and the house bread was warm and soft, but everything else just felt really underwhelming. I didn't even wanna bother order dessert because I couldn't take being disappointed again. Nothing was nasty, just no flavor AT ALL and nothing stood out. You're mostly paying for the view. It's cute, but unless you make a reservation and go just for that, I'd save your time and money. Don't be like me and spend almost 200$ for food with no flavor.
