    Haven't been here in more than a decade. I like their adobo fried rice omelette! They cook the egg perfect, it's not over cooked/hard. The lechon was okay but real fatty and the onions and tomatoes were not too fresh, but the vinegar sauce made up for it. If you're craving Filipino food this place will do. I want to try their pancakes one day I heard they were good!

    The kids wanted pancakes and the adults wanted Filipino-style breakfast. So Julie'z Filipino breakfast it is. The Lechilog which is Lechon served with Pork Abobo Fried Rice Omelet. And the Pancakes are the real deal, super light and fluffy and couldn't stop eating it. I'm glad it came out before my Lechilog so I could dig into it right away. Even if you're not a big fan of Filipino Food I would just come here for the Pancakes. Julie'z is definitely an icon here in Kapolei as it was crazy packed. Friendly service and cool atmosphere. Love to see a family run Restaurant do so good.

    Juliez Buffet @$13 / adult. Not bad.

    My mom would say that Juliez is her dining room since she wasn't cooking that day. Julie'z is a paborite In Kapolei. During the holidays, you have to call days in advance because they run out of pancit!! Couple weeks ago, on a Saturday evening, I called to order a plate of pancit and pork guisantes, 5:30 pm, but they were sold out. That's how beloved Juliez is to the Kapolei community. And the nice thing, they open up early for breakfast, at 7 am. When we have family coming in first thing in the morning, we having breakfast at Juliez not the other local restaurant by the police station. What's not to love? One of our other favorites is shrimp sarciado. It's like a shrimp omelette with whole shrimp, head and shell on, tomatoes, onions, garlic and eggs. Without the shrimp shell on, this dish would not be the same as all the juices sit in the shell. Yup, I've seen locals and tourists visit Juliez for breakfast and order the pancakes. It's nice to see when the tourists try something different and go into beast mode. As far as the interior, not fancy at all but that's ok. Individuals and families enjoy having a meal here. Dishes can be ordered family style or plate lunch style with two or three choice. And everything is reasonably priced. Staff there, although they may not know our names but they know our faces. All are very pleasant. Two things that I wish they had on the menu, tortang talong (eggplant omelette) and a family pack. However, the eggplant omelette maybe an off menu item like the arroz caldo (chicken porridge). I'll ask next time I'm there.

    BEST! PANCAKES! EVER! So buttery it melts in your mouth. I literally waited an hour outside just to eat this amazing plate! I was looking forward to the longanisa, but I didn't enjoy the deep fried texture. Eggs over hard were cooked perfectly to my taste. I ordered another stack of pancakes, but couldn't eat it cause I was too full. However, my coworker recommended this place to me, so I'll be heading over her way. Pancakes this good is worth sharing.

    Filipino food on your radar? Try Julie'Z. So many things looked good on the menu so I ordered a 3 choice combo plate: lechón & fried rice for an additional charge, chicken adobo and a to die for pancit! The lechón skin was perfection. Crispy, sink your teeth into the pieces, heaven. I needed to ask for a take out box- portions were generous and price was reasonable. Hubs had lechón and scramble eggs breakfast. He ate the whole thing. Very local, home as you are. Noticed lots of take out orders. Customers with surfboards must be going to enjoy their grinds down he beach. Would I come back? Most definitely.

    The Dinaguan and Pinapaitan Yummy

    I love my Filipino food and JuleZ is the place to go The Dinaguan and the Pinapaitan is my favorite Even the Lechilog , the service is amazing and fast The restaurant is clean and it has a great food too The price is great If you never go there you need to go

    Killer Pancakes at a Filipino Restaurant in Kapolei? Well I guess if someone on this page asked me if I tried it I guess I had to make a trek out to Kapolei at Julie's Filipino Restaurant and see what the hype is all about I had to order the Short Stack ($11.50) and the Lechilog which is Lechon served with Pork Abobo Fried Rice Omelet ($15.50). And after the smoke settled I have to say these Pancakes are the real deal. By the looks of it you can say they look like any other Pancakes but after one bite it was truly magical. The Pancakes were super light and fluffy and couldn't stop eating it. I'm glad it came out before my Lechilog so I could dig into it right away. Pro tip, don't let these Pancakes just sit idle on your plate it has to be eaten right away just like eating a Malasada. The only other Pancake that I had that was better than this was at the Four Season's in Wailea Maui. To be frankly honest even if you're not a big fan of Filipino Food I would just come here for the Pancakes As for the Lechilog it was ok. Nothing that would make me want to order it again.The draw here to me is the Pancakes and I would once again make that trek out to Kapolei to get my Pancake Craving. Julie'z is definitely an icon here in Kapolei as it was crazy packed and was lucky to snag a table for one. Friendly Service cool atmosphere. Love to see a family run Restaurant do so good Mahalo Kasla Boun for the recommendation. I just had to go after your comment

    Two choices: Lechon and Dinuguan; Got an upgrade for fried rice
    Megan F.

    Amazing Filipino grinds! My family loves to go here for any time of the day. When you enter the restaurant the staff makes you feel like home. So helpful with ordering and their recommendations if you don't quite know what to eat. My ohana's go tos are: Lechon Kawali- juicy pork, crispy deep fried skin. The onions and tomatoes bring the flavors together. You need to dip it in the sauce! My personal favorite- dinuguan. It's indescribable. Savory soft pork meat. Fried rice- so good. Just get the upgrade! Overall, amazing place! Love the staff and food. They do an amazing job to accommodate bigger parties as well!

    Quick service and food tasted good. How I miss squid adobo. And I love their fried banana eggrolls !! Visited Hawaii and decided to stay at Kapolei to check out places outside Honolulu or Waikiki and be part of the locals. I'm glad we did !! This is a casual setting, you can wear whatever you want and so far I didn't have problems with parking as we went there on a weekday.

    5/9/25 First time eating at this establishment. Cozy restaurant. A bit dated furniture and decor. I read a Yelp review recommending the pancakes here. I was ono for pancakes after a fourteen hour fast. I ordered a short stack of pancakes with a side of bacon. My hubby ordered a combination plate lunch of Lechon Kawali (chopped crispy pork with onions and tomatoes) and Gisantes (pork with tomato sauce and green peas). I also ordered the bibingka and suman (sp?) to go. The pancakes were fluffy and soft. I enjoyed the pancakes. It came with a large container of margarine or butter. 3/5 stars. Basic no frills syrup was in a squeeze bottle on the table. 2/5 stars. No whipped cream available here. The side of bacon was cooked in ? I could taste something other than bacon in the oil. Otherwise, it was crispy and oily. 2.5/5 stars My hubby's Lechon Kawali was a bit on the tough side. The pork skin was very chewy and hard. The Gisantes was okay. 3/5 stars Service was great here. Personable and efficient service. Timely took our order and promptly refilled water and checked on us several times. 5/5 stars. Ambiance: 3/5 stars (see pictures). Bathroom available inside the restaurant.

    Menu as of July 2025
    Klemens T.

    Came here for the first time. We ordered the adobo fried rice w/ Lechon Kawali, dinaguan and pinakbit, Lechon Kawali and Pansit, and a side order of 1 pancake. Everything tasted pretty good. The dinaguan wasn't as good as it looked. The Adobo rice was pretty flavorful with the Lechon. The pansit noodles were ok as well. The pancake was very flavorful and had a nice crust. Staff are fast and friendly. Lots of parking and lots of tables to dine on.

    3 choice: Mungo Beans, Chx Adobo & Dinuguan

When we first got to the restaurant, the bartender asked us how many and then directed us to choose our seat. The music was very loud by the bar, so we elected to find a seat as far away from the music as possible. My family and I sat down and looked over the menu. Five minutes passed and no one came by our table nor acknowledged us, other than the bartender at the beginning. After ten minutes passed, a server past us twice, but we still didn't get any acknowledgement nor any water. So we elected to leave and go to a different seafood place. My family and I are pretty understanding people, and it would have been different if someone came by and said something along the lines of, "sorry guys, we're short staffed and will get your order in a bit," or "I'll be right over to take your order," just some type of acknowledgment. Instead we observed a server walk by us twice, look at us and continue to be on their way. That left a sour taste in our mouth and made us feel like we didn't belong. Second, it appeared as though other people were also waiting to either order, get their check, or their food. But the servers were more focused on the patrons at the bar than those on the table. Overall, we were disappointed by the service and decided to go somewhere else for our family dinner.

The combo came with a good amount of snow crab legs, shrimp, mussels, and clams. It's advertised as feeding 1-2 people, and I'd say that's pretty accurate. There was definitely enough to share between two hungry people, although I do wish they gave more potatoes. There were only two small potatoes, which felt a little skimpy compared to the rest of the seafood. The flavor was really good, especially for my first seafood boil. The medium spice level was just the right amount of heat for me. I think I can handle spice better than some so it was perfect for me.

This left me emotional, frustrated, and breaking down to him as I was so excited to see his reaction of it all. Cancelling on guests with only an hour's notice is extremely unprofessional. I spoke with Evelyn and even as she kept apologizing and offering for me to speak to a manager, I had no time in the moment as our friends and I were left scrambling to find somewhere else for a nice birthday dinner. Super disappointing and no offer from the business in trying to make things right except to "reschedule". Simply offering a voucher for another night would have been a nice gesture to help amend the cancellation, but no, nothing. In all my years of event planning and large dinner events, never have I experienced this type of behavior from an establishment. People BEWARE! This restaurant WILL last minute cancel your reservation if the opportunity presents itself. No respect or common decency. Take your family, friends, and money elsewhere.

Lots of parking available as well since this is part of a shopping center. Made reservations via OpenTable and glad that I did because I noticed this place was pretty busy for brunch. I believe brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays. My party and I shared the Korean Chicken & Mochi Waffles and the Two Eggs with Anykine Fried Rice and Portuguese Sausage. We also ordered a bottle of mimosa to share. Portions aren't really big but this was enough food for the both of us. Food was delicious and we recommend ordering them.

I highly recommend avoiding this place if you are planning a special occasion--or any meal at all. Our experience was a disaster from start to finish: * The Birthday Guest's Meal: The birthday guy ordered the steak frites. The center of his steak arrived raw, and his fries were soggy, limp, and stringy. * The Burger: My other friend ordered a burger. It was entirely uninspired and nothing special; he ended up leaving a quarter of it behind on the plate. * The Anykine Salad: (MORE LIKE WASABI KINE SALAD) I initially ordered the Anykine Salad with chicken and absolutely hated it. The entire dish tasted overwhelmingly of nothing but wasabi, and the chicken was so incredibly dry it could have been a prop. * The Dessert: Our server was kind enough to take the salad away. Because I felt awkward sitting at the table without food, I decided to try the chocolate mud pie as a replacement. It was severely freezer-burned and so rock-hard that trying to cut it with a steak knife nearly split the ceramic plate. Nobody at the table enjoyed it and since we paid for it, ate what we could handle, and we left a quarter of it behind yet again. The only saving grace was our server, who was attentive enough to clear the inedible dishes. However, the kitchen's performance was completely unacceptable. I feel terrible for bringing my best friend here for his birthday and subjecting him to such a miserable experience. Save your money and go somewhere else that actually cares about food quality.

Warm chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream, and frankly I would have happily ordered it as my entrée and then ordered another one for dessert.
