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

Food is always good and they are very family friendly. They are well priced and you get quite a bit of food, enough to share.

I didn't go to their actual restaurant, but I tried their food at a Filipino event. The lechon fries were sooo good. The lechon wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be, but the crinkle cut fries made up for it. The pork sisig with the spicy sauce was also pretty good! The employees were helpful and the food came out so quickly. I'm sure their food is even better at their main location! I'll definitely check them out.

A hidden gem in Waipahu!…read more Before I get into their food, order the calamansi drink. It's refreshing, on the sweeter side, and honestly the perfect touch to your meal. It truthfully completed everything. We ordered the sampler set, the adobo fried rice special, kare kare, and the lechon. Everything tasted great! The adobo fried rice was a little on the vinegary side for me. The taste was powerful, but everyone else loved it. The kare kare was my favorite. It was savory and just had a comforting taste to it. I'd order this again for sure. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so seating could be a little tough during peak hours. Same goes for parking, it's a shared parking lot with other places in the complex. But the service is welcoming and the cashier was so helpful guiding us on what to order and describing the meals.

The driver explained that when they asked the person at the restaurant if they were given everything for the order the person said yes. The driver was kind enough to wait with me until I made a phone call with Shay's to ask where the remaining part of my order was and why was it not all given to my driver. I was missing my lumpia ordered, 2 mix plates and my adobo with side rice. The lady at the restaurant whom I spoke with said that she was sorry but the person whom gave my driver the order was new in their restaurant and forgot to give the other plates in my order to my driver. She stated they were already closing and that DoorDash would be able to help me receive a refund. DoorDash did refund me and I had to reorder dinner for my kiddos through another restaurant that evening. Today September 26, 2026 my kids were craving Filipino food and because the weather is not the best to go out and eat we opted for delivery. Shame on me for giving it a second chance! My delivery driver once again showed up with half the order. When I called I spoke with Chica C. who said, "ohhhh... it was 2 plates of each 2 choice mix plate". Yes indeed there should have been 4 (2) choice mix plates in my order but instead we received 2. I asked to speak with a manager so that they could just review with staff why this is continuously happening, to avoid it happening again but was told there wasn't anyone I could speak to. I explained to her that was very disheartening because I hope this doesn't happen to others. Although DoorDash protects their customers with refunds it is still sad to order from a restaurant for your Ohana for dinner and then not everyone receives their dinner. Shay's I hope you folks will look into why this is a continuous thing, because your food is amazing but at this time I am discouraged to order again.

SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: tiny but mighty with lots of Filipino snacks, sauces, sweets, etc. Organized n' well stocked. EXTERIOR: located at Ho'opili WAIT TIME: none PARKING: street OVERALL COMMENTS: wanted to check out what products n' hot food they had available. Visited on a Saturday, which was good bc I learned that they only offered hot food on the weekends per the lady who was working. I really wanted an Ilocos empanada so I was glad to see that they had it the day I went. I ended up air-frying it when I got home. It was still good even after the egg got double cooked. Had yummy flavor n' I liked that the vinegar it came with had a nice lil' kick of heat. The taro carioca was my favorite. Sweet crackly exterior, chewy inside similar to like mochi, n' you could taste the taro. I like my turon made with a long wrapper; get more crunchy sections from the ends, so this was the kine of turon I like. Also it has a caramelized outside adding extra flavored sweetness n' crunchiness. It's great knowing there is a Filipino market that carries a wide variety of products n' serves hot food too!

When we entered, one employee was wiping down the refrigerator doors while another was seated behind the counter. Unfortunately, we weren't greeted or acknowledged when we walked in. We browsed the store, which had a good selection of Filipino products, and I decided to purchase the onion and chive SkyFlakes crackers along with two banana lumpia. The male employee rang up the crackers and then spoke to the female employee in another language regarding the lumpia. I assumed everything was included in one transaction, but when I walked over to her, I realized I needed to pay separately. When she began putting both lumpia together in foil, I politely asked if they could be wrapped separately. Her reaction made me feel as though my request was an inconvenience. Overall, the transaction itself was fine, but the customer service could be more welcoming. A simple greeting and clearer communication would make a big difference. I also think that when discussing a customer's order, communicating in a language the customer understands would help avoid confusion and make the interaction feel more inclusive.
