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
Dolan T.

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.

Food was great, pricing good, we were seated quickly. The servers were quick and knowledgeable

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

There's a short wait to be seated but it moves fast. They get your name and number and then text you. The Ono Kalbi Breakfast Plate with eggs and potatoes was amazing. Tender big chunks of boneless Kalbi. Nicely seasoned breakfast potatoes. The side order of country fried steak with gravy was great. The flight of 3 different kinds of pancakes was fine. I swapped the Lilikoi for the Malasada topping. The other 2 were the default Cookie Butter and the Taro-Haupia. None of them particularly wowed me. I saw somebodyb else order the actual Malasada Pancake and it looked to have a nice sear to it or something. Maybe I'll only get that next time.

Thick, dense, lacking flavor is the best way to describe the pancake that I ate here. Fluffiness is not the word that comes to mind --which makes me sad. However, I did also have the apple sausage omelette, and potatoes. Both items were pretty tasty. The omelette is made with four eggs- the eggs are fluffy, but I personally thought that was too many eggs in one meal for me. The potatoes were well seasoned, lightly salted and even had a garlicky taste to them. Which was delicious. They were just the right amount of crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Although I was disappointed in the pancakes and do not have a desire to order them again, I am open to returning to the restaurant and trying their Chilaquiles instead. This is another restaurant that does not have a bathroom inside and you must use the bathroom inside of the greater building, which is several doors down and up a flight of stairs. You must remember to memorize the bathroom code before leaving the restaurant, but the restaurant has done a great job of posting the bathroom code your booth for easy access.

I wasn't able to book it directly through their site but if you call in sometimes they have additional availability that isn't bookable online. There are so many options here.

The GOOD: unlimited steamed lobster, snow crab, fresh poke, oysters, decent service, and lovely live music. The BAD/AVERAGE: - We were told that some of their ceiling fans weren't working so it gets pretty hot if you're seated by the pool/live music area. Our table also rocked back and forth throughout the meal. It's starting to feel outdated. -There were flies around some of food -The prime rib was the driest/overcooked I've ever had at a buffet, and the lechon was mostly dry as well with some parts were hard crispy. -Compared to previous visits, there was no sashimi station or steamed dim sum, which was a huge disappointment, especially since they had already done away with the pan-grilled lobster. -For the cooked/hot dishes, there were egg foo yung, stir fried veggies, one chicken dish, one lamb dish, and noe pasta. Also were average taste, and just very limited options compared to other brunch/lunch buffets! -There was also a whole cooked fish sitting on the opposite side of the buffet, away from the seafood station, with no label at all. It was completely untouched the entire time we were there, which honestly said a lot. -The ramen bar is a cool concept, but the broths don't taste good and had odd topping choices. -The dessert selection felt limited, and the vanilla ice cream had a strange texture that fell apart instead of being creamy. What frustrates us the most is that the price continues to increase (3-4 times), yet nothing really stood out or added to justify it. If anything, it feels like there are fewer options than before. We've been coming here since the good old days too and it's apparent that it's not as amazing as before. The unlimited lobster is really the only thing that sets this buffet apart, and while I understand you won't find that at most other buffets, it's still hard to justify $135 per person for the overall experience we had. We won't be coming back.

BRUNCH REVIEW! Food: 5/5…read moreService: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Located inside of Foodland Farms Kapolei, this place is easy to find. 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. We didn't realize that the spread for the mochi waffles was wasabi-based, so beware if you aren't a fan of wasabi. Our server was friendly and helpful. I loved the ambiance of this place.

My friend had already been 4 times but it was my first. Food, atmosphere and service were all great ! Several years later, I was again looking for a restaurant on the West side and remembered this place. This time we had a group of 10 including twin babies. It was a great choice as they were very accommodating with high chairs and had a keiki menu as well. Our server Bella was super and handled our large group with efficiency and friendliness. There was nice live music playing in the background. With our 5:30 res we just managed to get our drink order in for Happy Hour which ends at 6:00. I got the Shiso mojito which was ok. I was expecting Shiso infused in the drink not just a leaf for garnish. One aunty got the pickled mango margarita out of curiosity. She thought the best part was the pickled mango garnish. The other aunty got two regular margaritas. She said the first one during happy hour was watered down but the second one was good. Apps: *Hapa poke- a delicious mixture of different raw fish cut in tiny cubes served with ulu chips- yum ! *lechon style Brussels- also on Happy Hour menu- were flavorful. *Manila Clams-served in a beautiful garlic lemongrass flavored broth, was my favorite dish of the meal. The Anykine crunch salad was a lightly dressed salad with both wonton strips and arare for interesting extra crunch. Entrees: we were disappointed that both the Misoyaki Butterfish and Opah were a bit over salted. Otherwise I liked the accompaniments including the watercress and hearts of palm. Aunty enjoyed her salt and pepper shrimp. Dessert: the *lychee and dragonfruit sorbet were refreshing. (Oops! Didn't capture everything in photos since my phone wasn't working and I had to borrow one). Glad to rediscover this Foodland restaurant in Kapolei !
