KOA's in essential to start you day when vacationing in Oahu. Great selection of food and you get quantity, quality and amazing value. Plus it's a bustling café full of friendly faces and lots of Aloha spirit. I did the banana pancakes and was not able to think about lunch I just kept running on pancakes until dinner. Local place with hot delicious food served with a smile and does not break the bank. How can you miss out on this ? read more

Koa Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

It's lively, it's friendly, and it's a great place to stop by for breakfast. Located in a plaza, parking is abundant and free, although it could be tough to find a spot during high traffic hours. I opted for their breakfast plate with sausages, over medium eggs, and a side of blueberry pancakes and honestly, I still think about those pancakes. They were soft and fluffy and I have yet to find anything similar back home. While it was packed on a weekend morning, the workers assisted us in finding a table which we greatly appreciated. Overall, the vibes were great, the food was delicious, and it's a definite must stop if you're in the area. read more

Koa Pancake House - Blueberry pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

So ono! We tried a variety of things here, but our favorite was the loco moko. The service was quick, the pricing was fair, and the staff were courteous. It gets very busy, but it was worth the wait. The inside is a bit small for how busy it gets, but there are picnic tables outside as well so that js great! read more

This is the first local food I've had in almost 5 years and it was so, so worth it. The food was tasty, and served quickly so it was piping hot. The people were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant bright and clean. read more

I absolutely love the Koa Pancake House and make it a point to visit at least a few times every trip to the island, especially when I'm staying at Aulani, the Disney Resort in the Kapolei area. Everything about this place is AMAZING, and it's the perfect spot for a morning breakfast. I really enjoy the corned beef hash, Spam, and their pancakes especially the banana pancake is my personal favorite. The staff are incredibly friendly, and I always enjoy my fresh cup of coffee with my meal. Staff are very fast and efficient if you're in a rush, but I usually like to stick around, relax, and enjoy my coffee while taking in the breakfast. It's such great way to start the day and delicious start to the day, and I can't recommend it enough! read more

Koa Pancake House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I was craving pancakes and wanted local food (and prices) but so we decided to venture over from the resorts. We arrived around 10:30 on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy, but we were able to find a table and peruse the menu until we were ready to order at the counter. We ordered: - Chunky Monkey Full Stack Pancakes -- big portion with a heap of whipped cream on the top. There were plenty of chocolate chips, and they were high quality. Also a good amount of bananas and mac nuts. - Vinha D'Alhos Breakfast Burrito -- really good flavor but a little small. - Breakfast Plate with Portuguese Sausage, Scrambled Eggs and Pancakes -- big portions and the sausage had good flavor. They forgot to bring the short stack but apologized when we reminded them. Total was $51 including tip and drinks. The fried rice looked really good. Next time I want to try that. Only downside is the Diet Pepsi. The interior is nothing special but is clean and decorated with some local art. read more

Inside the small restaurant is just your basic set up, but it's nice and cozy and it's packed so you know the food's gonna be good. The service was excellent young lady at the counter was very initiative and helpful with the menu. The food was made as I ordered it and if you're out visiting, this is a quick spot for a really good breakfast with local favorites. FYI-they are cashless here read more

Food is Ono and fast service always crowded I recommend going early hours to beat the rush or after the rush hours.

Stopped by Koa Pancake House for brunch and had a really great experience. I ordered the Chunk Monkey pancakes, and they were fluffy, soft, and very filling. The sweetness was just right and not overpowering, making them easy to enjoy all the way through. The portion size was generous and felt like a great value for the price. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and cheerful, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It is not a fancy spot since they use paper plates and plastic utensils, but it actually fits the casual, comfortable vibe and makes it feel easygoing and approachable. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, greeting us with smiles and making sure everything was going well. My family also ordered the eggs Benedict and French toast, and both came in large portions. The dishes looked very appealing and tasted just as good, making it a solid choice for groups with different brunch preferences. Overall, Koa Pancake House delivers big portions, good prices, and consistently satisfying food in a happy, laid back environment. I would definitely come back again. read more

The service was super good, I've ordered my food and I bet you not. 7 minutes later I'm already eating. Fast service and great jobs to the 4 ladies that were in the front. Even though it was super busy and I was the last one to order in line it still came out hot and fast! Appreciation to the cook (Jr), the presentation and the service was on point! Will come back again! read more

I ordered takeout from Koa Pancake House and was really looking forward to a comforting meal. Unfortunately, when I got home, most of the food was burnt. Such a letdown. I honestly would have gladly waited a little longer if it meant the food wasn't overcooked. The only thing that turned out well were the pancakes read more

I have had the vindahlos in the past from another location but I was blown away how good it was here! A little crisp and perfect balance of vinegar and garlic. read more

We got the Koa moco and vinha d'alhos moco plates. Koa: this was a corned beef hash + hamburger combo over a fried rice (extra), with scrambled eggs. Great value for $17! The fried rice was fine, nothing special. I'd probably skip it and just get regular rice. The corned beef hash was awesome and very flavorful. The patty was hefty, but under salted. I'd probably just get beef hash next time. Vinha: for me, the pork was slightly sour, but that's just what vinha is. I personally wasn't expecting that. The build a mocos are great value and can easily feed two people. read more

Generous portions and good prices, their food never disappoints. Also the staff is vibrant and fun. Lots of choices to choose from. Their pancakes are tasty and fluffy, the fried rice is yummy, and home fried potatoes are a tasty side if you're not feeling rice or toast. There's something for everyone here . read more

This is our go to place when headed to a morning at the beach. We call head, our regular order of one Koa breakfast burrito. Has Portuguese Sausage, egg and potato. Its large enough that we split it. Under 8.00. We take it with us and enjoy the views of our favorite little cove. We also take family here when they visit for a sit down with Macadamia Pancakes or order something for the beach. They have always been happy with the pancakes. Sister loved their vegetarian burrito, said it was one of the best one she's tried. Service is always fast whether it's to go or dine in. read more

I always like to wrap up our trip with breakfast before heading to the airport with flight home. I did a Yelp search and found this restaurant. Bookmarked it. As we drove up and entered the restaurant, we got a Deja vu feeling. Hey we've been here before. The three of us ordered the same thing- one egg made to order, two pancakes, and choice of sausage or bacon. And three cups of drip coffee. Our orders were walked over to our table. Everything was good. Pancakes fluffy. Then later I reviewed the previous Yelp reviews and it turned out I wrote a Yelp review 11 years ago. No wonder we said it felt like we'd been here before. I missed my own review! This time we noticed many mobile orders. That didn't exist before. Hopefully it won't be another 11 years before we return. read more

From the menu I was supposed to choose my meat, then how I wanted my eggs and lastly my choice of side. For the side I was charged $9.50 for my Mac nut pancakes instead of $2.50. When I asked why, they said it was because of the white rice I had received which I never ordered. read more

This place was pretty good. It didn't really knock my socks off but everything tasted good here!. The gal we had for our server was nice and took great care of us and the staff overall were all very kind. It definitely has a diner feel and inside is designed as such. The pancakes are huge I will say and is enough for two for sure but they were nice and fluffy and definitely hit the spot! The crepes were very good as well and tasted great. The burrito and omelet also tasted very good and I would recommend both to someone coming here. If you're looking for a good place to swing in for breakfast I would for sure say here! read more

Koa Pancake House is one of my go-to places for breakfast because they have a really good selection and reasonably priced! The Kapolei location is my usual choice but once in a while I go to the Waipahu one because there is a Starbucks nearby. The folks are nice at either location! I usually get the trio plate (two scoops rice, two eggs, bacon, pork sausage links and Portuguese sausage) or an omelet. You can choose other starches instead of rice like hash browns, home fried potatoes, or fried rice (extra cost for fried rice). Pancakes are always done perfectly, and you can ask for coconut syrup if you prefer. You can order online, the night before if you want, and your order will be waiting for you next morning at the time you request! read more

The food was alright, the service was quick and friendly. Overall it was okay, thought the food could've been better.

Order was ready promptly, pancakes still hot and moist, omelette had a lot of cheese which is always nice.

I love koa pancake house especially their pancakes, but it was disappointing when I didn't get any butter or syrup to go with it. I couldn't go back because I was heading to work, it's not the same without those, therefore no point of eating it without any butter or syrup and would need to eat it when I get home. read more

The restaurant was empty when we arrived at 12:30pm. There were 4 employees at the front counter , one was mopping the floors, others were chatting. We asked if they were serving at this time, they replied yes, but we cannot sit at the tables since they were cleaning up so we had to wait at the one table by the entrance. While waiting for our other party of 2 to show up (they were parking their car) we asked if we could see the menu. They replied that they did not have menus since the prices changed and have to view the display menu board behind the counter. However the menu was not easily accessible since the tile floor was soaked with water so we had to view it from the entrance door. It was disheartening to experience this type of customer service since we frequently dine here and enjoy the food! This is the first time we experienced such a negative attitude. It was obvious that they were ready to go home. Train better...do better! read more

Ordered online for quick pickup. Order was ready within pickup window. Grabbed order and headed to the beach with the family to eat! Absolutely no utensils or napkins for the 4 plates I ordered. Kids ate hotcakes no problem with their fingers. This was the first time in my life I had over easy eggs with my fingers. Mistakes happen so check your bag before you leave if your not going straight home! Wasted all the yolk! read more

You have to go to the one in wahiawa, their food is more ono and their staff is super nice. They also get your order ready in minutes...I got the florentine Benedict, pancakes, side bacon and omelette and I waited no more then 5 minutes.

We always stop here when in kapolei. Solid Mac nut pancakes and delicious coconut syrup. This time we came and they were out of the coconut syrup, though. The pancakes definitely need that to give them that super delicious touch. But it's solid food. Friendly workers. A good spot for breakfast. read more

The staff was very nice and friendly which pains me to give a poor review. The place is a bit older with no restroom within the facilities. The tables and chairs are very dated. We got the steak plate and the trio with banana pancakes and ube pancakes. The banana pancake and the trio came first within maybe 5 minutes after ordering. The steak and ube came 15-20 min after the other items were brought out. And I was giving them the benefit of the doubt since it's a harder dish to make. The fried rice we so burnt. I tried picking apart the burnt pieces but ended up accidentally eating a few mixed in. But the fried rice was not burnt on the trio. I also asked for a medium steak, it was very well done and dry. I only was able to take a bite out of the ube pancakes and that was pretty good. But I left very disappointed with the meal. read more
