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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

I hear it can get a bit busy on the weekends, so thankfully it wasn't. When ordering take out you can just head towards the register and someone will be there to assist. There is a paper copy of the take out menu or you can look through the one for the restaurant. Inside is your typical "Asian" sit down restaurant with restaurant supplies out for display and a little choice buffet located at the front. They do have house-made Filipino desserts too. There was a few left when I was there, bibinka (similar to butter mochi) and also ube flavor. Placed 2 side orders of Lumpia Shanghai for a small holiday party and it was a hit. It comes with 12 cut pieces ea. and sweet and sour dipping sauce too. For a small party with friends, it was a hit. You can't have a Filipino themed party without lumpia. I have yet to try their dishes at this place, so will update when I go again. read more

We been knew this place was good, so when we no Visit long time, it HITS! I love the Lechon Kawalii, adobo fried rice omelette, and their pancakes. They are directly across of Koa pancake House, but if you're looking for a good breakfast, I would rather go here to Julie'z. They get busy, but the food and service is so fast so you won't be sitting down waiting for a long time. The restaurant is small, I wish they would get a bigger area, but it does its job. It's worth visiting and trying out if you love Filipino food! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Just moved back home, so I had to come back to Julie'Z. I got the lechon kawali, and dad got the pinakbet and mongo beans. For the lechon, make sure you dip it in the sauce! It's so delicious. And the mongo beans are so yummy with the rice. Service was quick, and our server was kind even though they were pretty busy. It was pretty loud, in general, but not overly so. The place is always clean and gives a very casual, relaxing vibe. Can't wait to go back!! read more

This is in the same building as En Fuego however it's nice to get my steps in even if I parked way at the other end of the strip mall. The lady at the counter who took our takeout order wasn't bubbly friendly, more like aunty/tita efficient. LoL! We ordered, paid and sat outside waiting for our food. She was nice and brought the food out to us. I had a combo. Adobo fried rice omelette and lechon. It was good even if we got our food after 2pm and didn't eat til maybe 3:30 the skin on my pork belly was still crispy and airy. It never got soggy. read more

Everything on the menu looks delicious and is delicious! My sister came from California and wanted filipino food. This was the only place I would recommend and we were not disappointed. We loved everything that we ordered (Pinacbet, Lechon Kawali, and Pig's Feet Soup) were so ono. The prices are a little bit high. But we'll go only once in a blue moon to treat ourselves. read more

First time here. Had a short 15 min wait with about 3 parties ahead of our group. Service was fast. I ordered the Lechilog which is lechon kawali with pork adobo fried rice omelette. The lechon was super crunchy on the outside with really tender meat. It paired perfectly with the pork adobo fried rice. We also ordered pancakes as I was told it was one of the best. Pancakes were chewy and may be one of the better cakes I've had. Will definitely come back for the this meal! read more

Food here is good but sadly they're really bad on timing. I ordered an hour in advanced so I could pick up and go right after work and my order wasn't even ready when I arrived. I waited 30 mins in the restaurant and there literally was no one in there dining at the time. It was 5:30pm on a Tuesday. Also, I was very disappointed in the portions for the price. You don't get alot and the containers were small. I had pork guissantes and chicken papaya. read more

I definitely rank this location as good as Thelma's but I love them both. Their lechon here is so good. Just don't order the tapa here. My friend had ordered it and it was hard. I had the same experience but I didn't want to complain. Service here is excellent by the waitress I usually see. The inside was clean. Food is good except the tapa. I always get the longonisa plate or the lechilog. So good. Plenty of parking here but it does get full too so get here during the less busy times. read more

My friend Ben just moved back from the Philippines about six months ago, and we have been making weekend trips to Waipahu to eat Filipino food. My favorite dish is Lechon Kawali (crispy roast pork with sliced onions and tomatoes). It's not the healthiest dish so I usually get a mixed plate with pinak bet (stewed vegetables). On a certain Sunday afternoon, instead of going to Waipahu, the car ended up in Kapolei because the car doesn't drive itself and relying on Ben's GPS was a little suspect. Nah, we wanted to try Julie'z because Ben had a bad experience at Elena!'s and we had eaten four times in a row at Thelma's, so he found Julie'z on Yelp so we said "why not". "Why not" turned out to be a disaster. On that certain Sunday, the restaurant was packed, and after waiting 20 minutes to be seated, Julie'z had run out of lechon kawali, and hell if I was gonna just make a meal out of pinak bet alone. I can't even remember what I ate. The most memorable thing about the restaurant was the converted Pepsi cooler being used to store toilet paper in the Men's room. I guess I would go back to Julie'z, but I have become accustomed to the taste of lechon kawali at Thelma's so we may go back to Julie'z in a couple months. read more

Julie'Z Restaurant - Pepsi cooler used to store toilet paper. - Filipino Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Good. Simple. Filipino Food. No frills. No fluff. Just good home cooked food. The restaurant isn't anything fancy, just your standard family place with stock supplies visible and simple tables and chairs. The staff is super friendly. They have a bathroom too. (Some other restaurants in the shopping center don't.) The dishes are your standard plate lunch with rice and Filipino staples. Our favorite thing to order is the Grand Slam Combo with Lechon (crispy pork belly) and Shrimp Sardiado (whole shrimp with scrambled eggs). It's a little bit of work to eat if you peel off all the shrimp shells. I'm someone who will eat the whole entire shrimp, shell and all (except for the tails if they're a little too pokey) so it was quick work for me lol. Also, we all love their hotcakes. I don't know why. They're not some sort of super crazy ube-glazed purple pancake or anything different from normal pancakes. They're just good, reliable, plain pancakes with butter. Sometimes that's all you need. read more

No frills good home cooked food like from your mom's kitchen. This isn't near the Waikīkī metro area but closer to the resorts but we always stop by when we get a chance. Sometimes if you time it right there is no wait. We've tried a handful of things on the menu and I always go back to the tried and true. I love the lumpia here and I always get a side of the longaniza. They do one sweet one and one savory one. My go to is the two combo plate with one scoop of rice instead of two. I switch up the meats but I love the pinakbet and pancit. The portions are generous and we always have leftovers. read more
