I came here while visiting a friend in Vallejo. We came here in the afternoon and the place was packed and seemed like we came when there was a party going on because people were singing in the karaoke. We got seated immediately followed by water. The staff was nice and attentive. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Loco Moco, I loved how the chicken was cooked, and the gravy was good. My friend got the Fried Chicken-Ube Waffle, the flavor of the chicken was there however it was a little rubbery for her liking the Ube Waffle was burnt and it was so hard to eat so that was a letdown and the Malasadas with chocolate sauce were okay. We love to support Asian fusion spots so we might give it another try next time! read more

The filipino-hawaiian fusion sounds enticing, but it's not that great. I've been here a few times (because of friends wanting to eat here) & haven't been impressed with anything I've ordered. The last time I went, I ordered their take on Loco Moco. I did not like it at all & couldn't get past 3 bites of it. The gravy was thin & watery. The meat itself was hard to chew. The taste was bland. Service is ok. Hard for them tho, so many tables & just one waiter which has been my experience each time. If you're craving Hawaiian food, L&L or Ono Hawaiian BBQ are better choices. read more

Kehaulani's Cafe - Da Loco Moco - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vallejo, California

Very cute Hawaiian x Filipino restaurant tucked in a Motel 6! The service here is great, everyone was super friendly and food came out relatively fast and hot. Da Loco Moco is the way to go!!!! The short rib falls right apart and the gravy is too good. It is a little pricey compared to other Hawaiian spots I've been to, but the food here is delicious and they have a unique menu with dishes you won't find anywhere else. Super cute casual diner vibe to go with family and friends! read more

Restaurant is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Food is good for the price. It's probably the best "Island style" restaurant in the Vallejo area at the moment. It looks like they stopped selling Hawaiian food which was good because their Kalua pork was just okay and the chicken long rice had no flavor. Most of the menu items now are Filipino, minus the loco moco-style dishes. Service was good. The food came out in a timely manner. The lechon bowl was good too. It had a nice blend of savory and pickles. I did not leave this place disappointed, although I've notice that they simplified their menu and no longer serve benedict dishes. Restaurant was clean for an old building. Still not a fan of the location. read more

I'm glad this placed closed for good. They were never opened. They also were never consistent with their food. It's about time.

This place is popular! Previously we tried coming here but the wait was simply too long. The designated parking lot is very small. On a rainy day we tried coming here around 11am and there was no wait! Service is very warm and friendly. We ordered fried chicken and ube waffle, the loco moco, and the steamed buns. I loved the fried chicken here. It tasted light (not heavy in oil or batter) but the chicken was moist. The ube waffle was a nice deep purple color. It didnt taste very strongly of ube to me but I still really liked it. The loco moco was very filling and the meat was soo tender. I can see why that's a favorite. The steamed bun were very soft. Unfortunately I didn't personally like the sauce the meat was in. It tasted a bit too strong like vinegar to me. But that's personal preference. Not pictured is the sunset mocktail. It was a very pretty drink with a mini umbrella. Very on point with the island theme. Glad we finally made it and I'll love to come back another time to try some of their other dishes. read more

Smelled restaurant located by motel 6. I parked behind the hotel and took the back entree. I wished they got a bigger sign because I couldn't find the restaurant. But regardless food was amazing. The ube pancakes were soft and delicious. Also got the fried chicken with gravy and two eggs. The gravy was buttery and delicious. Chicken was perfectly fried. My favorite was the crispy pork belly. The pork belly was not greasy. Perfectly crispy and was not fatty. You must stop by lunch and breakfast. read more

Great place for longsilog breakfast! Unfortunately they did not have it the day I went with my Mom, so I opted for the Loco Moco. It was delicious even though it wasn't your traditional beef patty but beef that was super tender! Staff is always friendly and welcoming! TIP - if you park in the parking lot, go around towards the street and the front door is along the side of the Motel 6. read more

Customer service was just as good as the food. Went on a Sunday and there was live music. People were dancing, laughing and having a good time. Fun and welcoming ambience. Pleasantly surprised at how yummy the food was. Some of my family ended up going an hour after I posted it on Instagram and also loved the food. Highly recommend. read more

I went with my family with a large group and they were able to accommodate us very well. The waitress is very kind. I had the loco moco made with short ribs and it was delectable, the meat was falling off the bone and the gravy had great flavor. I only wish there was even more gravy and rice :). My partner had the longsilog and enjoyed it as well. I loved the tomato's on the side. We also had the beignets which came out so hot and were so delicious. The location is a bit weird but give it a shot. Great Filipino Hawaiian food with great service. read more

I love Asian fusion spots so I had to try this place since I was going to be in the area. This restaurant offers a Hawaiian Filipino menu. Everything sounded great. We enjoy chicken and waffles and pork belly so that's what we ordered. The chicken and waffles comes with an ube waffle and a slightly spicy maple syrup sauce. It was delicious. The crispy pork belly lechon was tender and flavorful with a crunch. It comes with steamed rice sprinkled with furikake and topped with an over easy egg. Runny yolks are fine but not raw egg whites. I carefully pushed it aside. The seaweed salad made the dish a little too fishy tasting as well. I like it in my poke bowls but not in this. I also bit into something bitter. I don't know what spices were in this but that also threw me off. Sometimes less is more. Presentation was beautiful though. Service was impeccable. We were constantly waited on and our server was so kind, warm and friendly. We enjoyed the guava mimosa and the fresh POG juice. I felt like I was at a local joint in the islands. read more

Looking for a homestyle Hawaiian/Filipino meal? Then look no further than Kehaulani's Café. Located on the Motel 6 property. When I walked inside, the ambiance of the "Aloha Spirit" was apparent with the island music in the air along with the pleasant greetings from the servers. The menu is expansive with traditional Filipino/Hawaiian dishes with a flair of new style techniques for a modern twist. My groups breakfast order was the Sizzling Sisig with egg, Da Loco Moco, Fried Chicken with Ube Waffles, and the Mini Malasadas. Da Loco Moco is not your typical burger patty but instead a braised short rib that is tender and flavorful. The gravy was not as salty as I am used to for my other gravies but still works none the less. The sisig comes out on a cast iron mini-skillet with all the sizzling aroma fanfare that is customary when in the Philippines. Despite not being made with pig jowl or face, the pork belly does a good job on holding on to the traditional spices and flavors that one would expect from a good sisig plate. Kehaulani's Café is a good reminder of how Hawaii/Filipino food should be done with a modern twist. The flavors and traditions of each dish are joyfully present but at the same time good enough for the modern palate to appreciate. Find your way to Kehaulani's Café and you'll also find yourself to island food done right. read more

I may be biased because I'm a Filipina with family in Hawaii that I visit often, but this food was really just average. My family went here for Sunday brunch, and we were pretty excited, but we were kind of let down. The service was okay, the staff did their best, but you could tell they were having a rough day. Actually, we couldn't just tell, they straight up told us. You know, the typical tension between the servers and the kitchen, nut our server really did her best to try and bring her and our vibes up. The morning we were there, there was a live band, and they were great! My family and I were grooving and singing along as we ate. For the food, we ordered malasadas, loco moco, longsilog, and a lechon bowl. The malasadas were fine. I mean, it's kind of hard to mess up fried dough, but they were nowhere near what we would have in Hawaii. They were served with a chocolate dipping sauce, which helped. The loco moco was bland. The longanisa was also bland. My mom ate one, and took the rest home with the intention to recook later, but didn't go back to it. The lechon bowl was good, but I wouldn't call it lechon, since it wasn't crispy. It was pretty much just braised pork belly. For the drinks, I had a chocolate macadamia iced coffee, and my parents got chocolate macadamia lattes. Yeah, both tasted like coffee-flavored water...I wouldn't recommend the coffee. Overall, if you don't typically eat this kind of food, you'd probably really like it. read more

Visited on a Sunday around 11:30am and seated right away in the small restaurant. For our first visit we were pleased with the service, the Ono food and no wait! Everything on the menu sounded amazing and our food pleasantly satisfied our hunger. I can't wait to try more items on the menu next visit! Parking was very limited and can only imagine difficulty parking if it was packed. read more

Food - Food was pretty good. We got the Da Loco Moco and the mini malasadas. The loco moca had good flavor but the meat was a bit dry. The chocolate sauce with the malasadas were declicious (but it didnt taste like authentic malasadas, tasted more like fried pancakes, still good though.) Service - Really friendly and fast. Ambiance - Nice cozy vibes. Clean with a lot of seating space. Very limited parking though. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon. The ambiance was fun with live karaoke and the service was good! But I've been to different filipino brunch places before and the food here was a little underwhelming. The chicken adobo rice omelette was decent, but the sauce made the whole thing a little mushy. However, my biggest gripe was their chicken and ube waffle because instead of fried chicken, I was given fried pork belly instead. I'm not sure what happened there, but definitely misleading. The waffle was okay but I didn't notice any strong ube flavor. It was a little expensive for two dishes & two drinks ($50 with tip). Their coffee was good though read more

Do not recommend. Period. I came here with my family on a early Sunday morning at about 9:20am. We were the second group of customers that arrived that morning aside from one other couple that were already seated. A female worker with short hair pointed to where we could seat & handed us 2 menus; we were a party of 4, so I guess it was assumed we shared the menu. We sat down, and saw big group of about 6 customers walk in after us. Although we arrived & got seated BEFORE the larger group, the female worker greeted the larger group, took their order before ours, conversed, laughed & giggled so it appeared that she may have knew them personally because she was wayyyy friendlier to that group versus us; she was very abrupt & short with us. & that set the tone for the rest of our visit. We waited a long while before she finally came to our to take our order. When my sister asked for the longsilog the worker walked to the kitchen & came back to our table & said "it's not ready yet, 30 minute wait"- wait what? First off, if you are going to have an item on your menu make sure it's ready prior to opening your doors so it's available to your patrons. She ordered the lechon bowl instead. I ordered the sizzling sisig & requested an over medium egg. What did I get? A raw egg cracked over my sisig. NOT what I ordered. The portions here are extremely small for the price you pay. Lastly, if you pay with a card, they tap on an additional $2.95 card service fee- can this experience get any worse. . So if you do decide to eat here, & mind paying the extra fee to run your card make sure you bring cash. On our way walking out, 2 large tin mixing bowls fell from the kitchen & went flying onto the floor by the entrance/exit; didn't see anyone pick it up. I hope they washed those bowls before using it. I don't see what the hype was all about. Overall, I was very disappointed. read more

Cute, small spot to grab some delicious Hawaiian & Filipino fusion food. Cute decor and good music playing to set the mood while you eat and hang out. First disappointment for our party was not knowing bottomless mimosas are with orange juice only- would be a good thing to add on to the menu. I had ordered the Kalamansi Highball, but after asking where the drink was a few minutes after everyone else had theirs, I was informed they could not find the juice. I was recommended the Mojito and I obliged, but was not a huge fan of the taste. The food was delicious, but we were expecting the guava butter with the warm sweet rolls. We got regular butter with our rolls and no explanation. While the Chicken Moco was yummy, I will definitely ask for a little extra gravy if I come back! Overall I would come back. Good food and good service, despite a couple hiccups! read more

So, we watched an episode on Bay area check please. This restaurant was one of the locations on the episode. I think we expected to see more of a Filipino types of dishes there. But basically we had options of loco Moco dishes, a burger that looked huge. And special's of the day. Which out of the three choices they only had 1 available. But we chose two chicken loco Moco dishes which were impressive. I had mine fried chicken and my wife had hers grilled. Fried eggs and over white rice. We asked for the mushroom gravy on the side. Which was a good idea because the gravy seemed a bit salty for me. We will go back because they have a short rib dish and an oxtail dish.the service was quick and the owner is very friendly and informative. They don't have lumpias or masubi?. Or any pork adobo or chicken adobo dishes. Which is what I was looking for on their menu. read more

Stopped by today (Sunday Apr 13 at 12.30) for lunch. They are closed. Unknown if it is just today or forever.

My boyfriend's been coming here for years and was telling me about the loco moco so when i was in town visiting we decided to come try it. The place is cute with the Hawaiian vibe and the staff are all super sweet and attentive. We got parking right out front, and we were sat immediately. The loco moco was so good. The beef was slow cooked and tasted so tender and savory. I loved the garlic rice, we ordered it substituted for white rice in our dish, but they brought significantly less of it than the normal white rice portion so we had to order another side of it halfway through. But it was so yummy. The omelet was the adobo chicken fried rice and it was a little disappointing all in all, i felt the flavors and textures left something to be desired. Definitely try the loco moco if you're passing through! read more

Cute little spot for some Hawaiian and Filipino fusion eats, but the food overall left much to be desired. Came here a few months ago during Vallejo restaurant week to check them out. They were offering bento box specials during restaurant week, and the one that they posted on their IG page looked delicious. Unfortunately, that particular bento wasn't available when I went there as they change their bento box combos daily (didn't find this out until I got there). Their restaurant is located in a very discreet location on a random side street. Not gonna lie; I passed it up twice before actually finding it. They've got a tiny parking lot but there's also street parking too. I walked in and was warmly greeted by the staff. The staff seems to mainly be kids, but they were all really sweet. The interior space is very homey but also really dated. The seats could use some reupholstering, but I digress. Ended up ordering their special daily bento box and a fresh pineapple juice. The bento box came with crispy chicken, beef kalbi, lumpia, mac salad, and a silog topped with gravy. The pineapple juice tasted very fresh. Loved the crispy lumpia and the silog with the rich gravy. The chicken was pretty good, but I could have done without the sauce. The sauce was too sweet and chicken was way too saucy for my liking. I'm usually not a fan of mac salad, but this one was light and mild without that overly heavy mayo taste which I appreciated. The kalbi was unfortunately dry and appeared to be overcooked. I came about an hour before closing, so maybe that's why the food didn't taste spectacular, but it was decent overall. I like the idea of the bento because it's a nice showing of both their Filipino and Hawaiian food items. They had the music blasting but they were playing ALL the hits. The louder music might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. I was up in there jammin', jammin'! I left right before they closed, but I appreciated that they didn't rush me out. It seems like the staff was having a good time winding down their day. Although I wasn't blown away, I felt like it was solid for my first visit. I would still like to come back to try more items from their menu. read more

This was my second time here; the first time we actually ate at the restaurant during brunch and they had karaoke! Super fun aloha vibes and friendly staff. This visit, I took my meal to go and ordered: -Warm Sweet Rolls: these tasted so warm and fluffy and homemade! The guava butter melted on the butter but honestly had the just the right amount of sweetness that made it delectable. -Chicken Moco: they were out of the sisig bowl so I asked the waitress for her recommendation and she said this was a popular one- I can see why! It has a crunchy breading and the mushroom gravy had me going back to dip my chicken into. The eggs weren't as runny as I wanted them to be, but that's only because it was to go and dried up on the drive. The only reason I took off a star was the location/parking which is kinda sketch. There isn't too much parking at the actual location and you would have to park either at the motel next door or the Grocery Outlet. I can also see why they have "island" time and only operate during the daytime... read more

My fiancé and I were house hunting in Vallejo. And after looking around with our agent, he recommended this place! We came on a Sunday around noon and it was PACKED!

Noelle's Yelp Notebook Pandemic Chronicles 10/01/21 TLDR: Skip it. Kehaulani's Cafe is located in Vallejo, California next to a Travelodge Motel. It's obscure and easy to miss from the road. Thanks to Yelp, I found this spot which looked promising. The Yelp photos boasted of Ube waffles and delicious eats. The Yelp reviews were a mixed bag but I decided to try it out. There is indoor dining and takeout available. We arrived at 12:15 PM on a Friday and upon entering it was empty and there were zero food aromas. AJ was our waiter. He was friendly and polite. We sat in a booth at a very dusty table. We were given menus and our drink order was taken promptly. Our order One calamansi drink Waters for the table Malasadas Chicharrón Longanisa lunch platter Pork Belly Bowl Katsu Loco Moco (2) Halo Halo Malasadas were hot and slightly doughy in the center, they were tasty, served with chocolate sauce on the side. The Chicharrón was fried to perfection and a great appetizer. The longanisa platter was sad. The longanisa tasted old and the garlic fried rice was more like steamed garlic rice with soy sauce. The pork belly bowl was promising - good flavor, everything was fresh (even the meat). The issue is the meat was on the fatty side. There were a few pieces of pork belly that was more meat than fat but unfortunately it was more fat than meat. The Katsu loco Moco was burned so badly I sent it back after one bite. The chef came, stood at a distance with no mask on to tell us that he tasted my dish (that I took a bite of) and it didn't taste burned at all. He was rude and argumentative in front of my family and eight year old son. The Katsu was old tasting meat (we ordered two)- one was burned which was taken off our check. Everything went downhill after the chef was confronted me about the burned Katsu. It literally took 15 minutes to get the Halo Halo that lacked ice, milk or beans. This was my worst dining out experience in my 14 consecutive years of being Yelp Elite. I don't care if I'm spending $5 or $5,000 - I write my honest experience. The food was burned, the meat was old, the chef was rude, the restaurant was dusty and beyond disappointing. The chef was upset and took over 15 minutes to make a Halo Halo when we were the only customers in the restaurant and they clearly weren't busy. I believe he was upset from my complaint on the burned food he took forever to make the Halo Halo to spite me. I was really taken back with the chef's rude demeanor. Learn from my experience and save yourself time and money- SKIP IT. Do yourself a favor and not eat here. I understand limited menus during the pandemic. What I won't tolerate is rudeness, burned food and old tasting meat. Definitely on my list of places to never patronize again. Noelle's Notes SKIP IT BURNED FOOD OLD TASTING MEAT RUDE CHEF read more

So arriving here was a bit of a task, these guys are right next to TravelLodge. So you HAVE to turn into the TravelLodge entrance because it's at the right. It almost looks like an office to TravelLodge, but it isn't. Onto the food! So altogether we order the capuccinno, adobo rice in omelette, and the langsilog plate and the malasada. The cappuccino did NOT taste like a cappuccino. It had too much milk and not enough coffee. They used whole milk and did not offer any alternatives, which is forgivable, so it had no bearing on the star status. It is the fact that it tasted more like hot milk than coffee that dropped a star. Next off, the adobo rice omelette. Well I've had my fair share of adobo and this didn't taste like it. It was quite pretty, but did not fit the bill, it lacked the rich and savory adobo taste, so minus 1 star for that. The omelette it self was a typical egg omelette, so no deductions for that. The salad garnish was old and the color of the lettuce was discolored from sitting out too long. Not fresh. The langsilog was another issue. The rice was mushy, not quite baby food mush, but it turned to paste when you began chewing. There goes another star. The rice HAS to be left out overnight and then fried, that way it maintains it's texture. The longanisa also was not impressive. The cucumber and tomato was ok though. Ok, how about the malasada chocolate dessert. Well, the fried dough seems like it needed to stay in the fryer for another few minutes. My daughter loves sweets but couldn't handle eating more than a bite from it. Another star bites the dust. Whew! That meal is done and 3 stars down leaves me now with a 2 star review. These guys have a lot to improve upon before I come back again. Sorry guys. I wanted to like you, but the cook needs to improve, study a bit more. read more

Was in Vallejo yesterday and my boyfriend was looking up places to eat for lunch after visiting the graduate school I'll be attending - he came across Kehaulani's and I told him I knew about it because it's owned by my cousin's girlfriend's family but still haven't tried it! We decided to pay a visit during peak lunch time. The restaurant is right by the freeway (super convenient) and has its own little parking lot for customers to pull up to. The venue definitely gives off welcoming vibes, with a cozy yet spread out interior, island music playing throughout the restaurant, windows letting plenty of sunlight in, and friendly faces from the staff. We started with the POG and pineapple mimosas and sifted through the menu debating what would be good for lunch. I saw malasadas with chocolate sauce and immediately asked for that (which I did NOT regret - those bad boys were so soft on the inside and tasted delicious!) My boyfriend went on to order the sizzling sisig and I had the chicken and ube waffle! Food and drinks were 5/5 in taste, portions, and affordability. Sisig was tender and we loved the concept of the pulled pork for it. The chicken on the chicken and waffle plate was crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, and well seasoned! I asked for some banana ketchup so I could eat it with my chicken, and our server (after noting how she loved the enthusiasm I had for our meal) said I was the first person in their five years of business to ask for Jufran (that's one of the banana ketchup brands we have from the Philippines)! The waffle had a hint of cinnamon to it, which I loved as well since it added pizazz to the already soft and chewy texture. I can see why this place was voted best Filipino food in Solano County 3 years in a row -- it's A+ all around! Staff was friendly and helpful, food was A1, and venue had excellent ambience. I'm so excited to come back, especially more often when I start grad school in the area! read more

Tucked away in a cutty area of Vallejo, this local gem Kehaulani's cafe is a must try. Low key and non pretentious Hawaiian and Filipino fusion vibe. They feature an every day all day brunch menu. Arnold, the founder and chef, was amazing, friendly and has catered many events in the V. I found out about this spot through a long time trusted mentor Uncle Mel Orpilla, who featured this spot on Check Please Bay area: Link to the episode below. Service was amazing, food was mouth watering and hella appreciated the creativity of the menu combining my love for Filipino comfort food as well as the island flavors. We got the Longsilog, Adobo fried rice Omlette, and the Lechon bowl. We will definitely come back to this spot in the future. As a Vallejo native, this spot has my stamp of approval. To quote the wise words of uncle E-40, this place is SMAAAAAAACKIN! Stay loyal to the soil. Say it backwards 707! Say it upside down LOL!
