    We were hungry for a late breakfast and decided to try this hidden gem after hearing good things. We went on a Sunday, and there was a ton of parking upstairs of Westridge Shopping Center where Jessica's is located. Many of the choices on the menu were very tempting, but we really came by with the hope of sampling their Prime Rib Loco Moco, which we'd heard about from friends. We ordered that to share, and each had the sweet bread French toast. The Prime Rib Loco Moco was awesome. The meat was perfectly cooked, and the gravy had just the right flavor to put everything together with the egg and fried rice. The French toast was the perfect sweet compliment to the savory loco moco dish. Service was fantastic, we were constantly attended to and everyone was very friendly. We really enjoyed our meal and will be coming back soon!

    Amazing spot hidden in the upper level of a plaza, Jessica's was insanely good. We got the big local breakfast with fried rice, a nice "sampler" of stuff that's very filling. Bacon was okay; spam was great, Portuguese sausage was great. We also got the Jessica's Moco, the gravy on it was fire. Great portions overall and would definitely come back! Servers were all very nice to us as well. I suggest taking the streets up to the second floor in the back so you don't have to park in front and take the stairs!

    Our first time here and we came for lunch! When we first walked in, we noticed how hottt it was inside. Not sure if their a/c was not working... But we almost walked out. :( Hopefully they can fix that. Thankfully there was an open booth for my family of 4. They sat us and we were able to get water quickly. We looked at the menu and noticed that all of their entrees were mostly $25+. A little on the pricier side if you are looking to spend. But, the portions are pretty big. So you would be able to share a plate depending on how hungry you are. Overall, we would come back on a Special occasion. Their chicken was amazing and the rest of our food that we order was pretty good as well. Their service was top notch and their servers were really attentive. We hope to be back soon!

    Cute place in a kinda divvy strip mall. Inside the place is amazing. Very clean & ono food. We shared the lumpia & bento plate. Delish. Jessica welcomed & waited on us. With hubby helping out. Would eat here again if we were in the area.

    I don't remember if I left a review for this lovely restaurant when my son & I stumbled upon this restaurant when they were having their soft opening. I remember the people & staff being very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Their menu had delicious items and I ordered the prime rib loco moco. It was delicious and I knew we needed to come back again. I want to bring my husband here one day. Did not have that chance yet. My mom recently posted pictures on FB from when she & my step-dad went to eat there. Form their two trips there combined, they've tried the fresh corned beef and cabbage, prime rib loco moco adobo fried rice, adobo fried rice omelette with lechon kawali & the breakfast fried adobo with spam & eggs. breakfast. Looks so yummy ! If you want good food, great service & a comfortable welcoming atmosphere, go to Jessica's and you won't be disappointed.

    This place is definitely getting more and more popular! Food is delicious but a little bit on the higher side price wise for a breakfast/brunch place. I should come for lunch one day but we're always in the area during breakfast time lol. The adobo fried rice is sooooo good! I love their lechon as well, the sauce is perfect with the pork. Workers are very nice, especially Jessica herself she is so sweet!

    Adobo Omellete Combo

    A cute little hole in the wall across Pearlridge shopping center! Me and my husband went around 9am on a Friday so there was no wait at all. Granted, most people are working so I didn't expect it to be too busy. From reading reviews, it seems like it gets pretty hectic on the weekends. As a Filipina, I will always have a weakness for adobo fried rice and longanisa. My husband ordered the corned beef hash and devoured the whole thing so I couldn't take a picture. I have to say that the portion size is MASSIVE! This omelette was about the length of my forearm and I honestly expected probably half the size for the price. There was also a generous amount of pork throughout the rice and it was seasoned well without being overly salty. The longanisa was also juicy and had a nice char. The service was also friendly, quick, and efficient. She gave me a box right before I was about to ask so she anticipated our needs really well. She checked on us often so we were well taken care of. So tasty and well worth every penny! We both had a really memorable experience and definitely will add this to our list of brunch spots in the area!

    We ordered a bunch of items to sample. Everything was delicious! Some of our out-of-town guests didn't agree, but they have mainland tastes, so I won't hold that against them. I'd return to try some of the other items on the menu. Great service! 18 photos should be included with this review.

    The "Jessica moco" - corned beef hash side
    Rod U.

    Note: this is a review of the all day breakfast. Resort level breakfast. A definite step up from the greasy spoon. The quality matches the higher price. The waffle, in the chicken and waffle, is an actual yeast waffle. Chewy, dense, bready on the inside, extremely crisp on the outside. Plenty moist on its own but has the ability to really suck up the butter and syrup making it that much better. The chicken for the pairing, genius! A skin on thigh with most of the meat removed fried crisp. What remains of the meat turns to jerky but the beautifully seasoned skin, heaven. It mimics crispy bacon. Side note, just hope this is only done for the chicken and waffle. I wouldn't accept this in the fried chicken plate. Fresh corned beef in the corned beef hash in a 60/40 ratio of corned beef to potato. Crisp on the outside, tender and not greasy on the inside. It works as part of the Jessica loco moco (one burger with just the right amount of filler and one corned beef patty w/ two eggs on rice with scratch made rich brown gravy). Very large servings. Props to the single server who was able to keep the entire front of house running smoothly and with a smile. Looking forward to trying some Filipino breakfast offerings on a future visit. While $25-$30 per dish for breakfast isn't "cheap eats", the quality fully justifies it. One of the best breakfast spots on this side of the island.

    Prime rib loco moco
    Sydni K.

    We picked up a take out order from here for the prime rib loco moco with fried rice. The rice itself was super flavorful and had adobo in it, which was a nice surprise. I thought the prime rib would be the star of the show, but honestly it was super tough and extremely salty. It could have been because we did a takeout order, so I would definitely like to come back and try it fresh!

    Breakfast menu
    Roya J.

    Nice spot for breakfast or lunch with healthy portions, great service and reasonably priced for what you get. Simple diner decor and seating with plenty of space to accommodate. My prime rib moco was pretty good, but friend's Jessica's moco was mo betta. Definitely a keeper.

    Jay M.

    Clean place in the old Pho My Lien restaurant. Breakfast was plenty and tasteful. Had the Jessica Moco (fresh corned beef and hamburger with over easy eggs on fried rice). Also ordered a prime rib that was on the dinner menu, but it was actually a fried rib eye steak with au jus sauce (disappointing when you expect a roast). Anywho, we explained the difference and she said she will tell the chef.

    I used to go here all the time to get my filipino food fix. Unfortunately they closed the Kalihi…read morerestaurant and now have to make the drive out to Waipahu. If you have never been here I highly recommend you trying their filipino food. Portion size is good and worth the money but the main reason you're buying their food is cause it's winnahs. I did take out a few of their menu items. Their special for July is lechon Kawali, pancit, pork gisantes and pork adobo fried rice. It's good to get this or mixed plate with 3 choices. It allows to try more of their menu selections. While one is good 3 or 4 is much better especially if coming here for the very first time. You won't be disappointed. I called in to place my order and it would be twenty minutes which is fine cause that's how long it took me to get there. The food was hot and ready to go. I made sure my ac was off so I can enjoy a nice hot lunch. The place was crowded even at 1pm. People know good food when they eat it. Lots of parking. The lechon Kawali was good. It's nice and meaty with some nice soft fat pieces. Oh so good. Yeah if you are worried about cholesterol then this might not be for you. If not you gonna enjoy it. The pancit is good. The pork gisantes which is more commonly known as pork and peas is really good. It's like stew and you wanna mix your rice with it. If you like eggs over easy then you should have that over your gisantes. It's sooooooo good. Kinda like Loco moco except it's stew. When that yolk breaks and blends in with the gisantes hoo boy. Just really good stuff there. Then the main attraction is their pork adobo fried rice omelet. I believe they were the original restaurant that brought it out. I might be wrong but they make it just right. Every bite is so good especially when you bite into one that has fat in it. Yummy. Yeah not a good choice if you're staying away from cholesterol but if not you're gonna enjoy it. The pork adobo fried rice is not dry like some other places I've tried. Ok I admit i love filipino food. I had to get dinuguan. Chocolate meat. Another winner with rice and really good with over eggs on top of it. Nice tender succulent pieces of pork. Oh my God, it's so good. I also got Shanghai lumpia. This is da bomb. You gotta eat this one hot and fresh. If not it gets stale and soggy so I ate this first. You dip it into vinegar. I like a little heat so I add Tabasco to it. Great with beer. It's so good. I'm missing it already. Then the final dish i got was their sari sari. It's soup with mixed veggies, baby shrimp and lechon. The soup is delicious and comforting. It's great on a cold night or maybe when you're feeling sick. Better than your chicken noodle soup for sure. It's also great remedy for that hangover you got last night. Lol All in all you just gotta try it. Let me know what you got and how good it tasted. Enjoy and thank me later.

I called and made a complaint and all the lady said was , sorry! I asked to speak to the manager or supervisor and she said that they don't have one. WTF! I'm calling the owners tomorrow! My daughter took a bite and started chewing and felt something hard . I'm soo upset!! Update: 7/16/26 Called Melissa the owner to address this issue. She seemed very concerned and worried about my daughter who found it in her mouth. Thank God my 1-1/2 year old grandson didn't swallow it because he was eating it with my daughter!! Sooo dangerous ! Melissa will investigate this. Thanks Melissa. This taught me a lesson , as well as having a phobia . ALWAYS check your food when buying from restaurants or fast food. I Love eating and ordering pans of food at Elena's but I'll be very careful from now on.

The restaurant is rather spacious with a ton of seating, so we always get seated right away. The servers have always been so kind, and the food never disappoints. When I was here with my parents, we had ordered Max's Teasers and it was a great plate to share with 3 people. Nothing too special about the dish, but it's a great app choice if you want a little bit of a few things/variety in your appetizer plate. The plates we shared were Max's Chicken and The Lechon Kawali. Max's Chicken is so perfectly cooked in my opinion with the most perfectly juicy meat steamed rice. The Lechon Kawali was also cooked really well, as it wasn't too fried to the point where the meaty parts of the pork was difficult to chew. I also had the Sago't Gulaman, and I will tell you that it's my favorite place to get Sago't Gulaman here. The second time I went, I brought my husband and he absolutely fell in love with the food too. For drinks, we ordered Calamansi Juice and Sago't Gulaman. You guys know my review for Sago't Gulaman; I would just say that the Calamansi Juice is on the sweeter side! For food, we ordered Lechon Kawali Sisig, and the Dinuguan. The Dinuguan was just the perfect meal to have to remind me of home. The ratio of the sauce and meat was perfect, and every bite was delightful. But between the two, I will say that the Lechon Kawali Sisig was MY personal favorite. The flavor was PERFECT and it was cooked just as well--it was tender and every bite was even better than the last...I definitely had to pace myself because it was that delicious. What always tops off my experience and why I'm giving Max's a 5/5 is because of how friendly and amazing the staff is. Always smiling and willing to help, and never snobby! Go visit Max's today!

Vince took our order and was patient with all our questions. Finally landing on the Combo plate with Korean fried chicken with dynamite sauce, and a huge piece of ahi tuna. It comes with a scoop of rice and we picked the macaroni salad. They also offer a lettuce salad. All for $19.95! The business model currently is carry out only, You get a text when your order is ready and out comes this generously filled clam shell of food. So much that they use a rubber band to close the container!

When the food is ready, you get a text, pick-up is on the kitchen-side, backdoor. We'd heard good things about their steak, dynamite chicken, and ahi katsu so we wanted to try all three. There is a chicken + meat combo that allows you to upgrade the meat to ribeye; we ordered this plate with all green salad. Then we ordered the King Kam ahi katsu with rice and upgraded the side to imitation crab salad. If you love sauce, this is for you. Their fried items are nicely cooked, the ahi katsu had a nice rare center and the boneless chicken was still juicy, but both lost their crispness under a mountain of seasoned soy sauce, Kewpie mayo, sriracha aioli, and sweet chili sauce. With the additional garlic, katsuobushi, furikake, and green onion, these are flavor bombs. The ribeye had a nice char from the grill. It's served with a side of crack sauce which has a vinegar, fish sauce base, plus chili, garlic and cilantro. The heat from the steak and chicken withered the bed of green salad underneath, so we didn't eat it; serves us right for not getting rice and mac salad with a plate lunch. At Kingz, more is more.

    For our dinner we were served with the following dishes: Snails simmered in coconut milk, green…read moremango slices, pinakbet, garlic butter prawns, Insalada with bagoong na isda, Lechon kawali, grilled Hito, Bulalo soup, pork barbecue on a stick, freshly fried Turon, Biko and Karioka. We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.
