    I came by to Liliha Bakery as recommended by a local for some local food! To my surprise, this is located inside the mall, tucked right inside Macy's. It was a short little walk from where I was staying nearby. This place was a neat treat for a wide variety of food options for dinner with breakfast served all day, woohoo! Not only the menu was huge there's also a bakery right outside the restaurant. Upon entering on in a weeknight, the baked goods were all tempting and the inside busy busy. ORDER: *Pork Belly Loco Moco with Iced Vanilla Latte Super satisfying meal, amazing! The pork belly was plentiful, along with being surrounded by the gravy and drizzling eggs on top. Juicy and tender and savory all around. As for dessert, I tried it later that night and the cream puffs are heavenly! From Matcha, to Dubai Chocolate, and Lemon- excellent and fresh tasting inside filling to out. The atmosphere here is chill, service was great, and yummy food- definitely visit worthy when in Honolulu. Loved it!

    One of the most popular locations, this branch is ideally situated next to Macy's at Ala Moana Center. Its convenient location, ample free parking, and easy access are definitely major attractions. However, be prepared for slower service during peak hours. We had to repeatedly ask for water refills, pancake syrup, extra napkins, and other basic items. There were plenty of servers on duty, but several seemed more engaged in chatting with one another than paying attention to customers who needed assistance. I hope this review brings these noticeable service shortcomings to management's attention. With better attentiveness and customer service, this location could provide an experience that matches its excellent location and popularity.

    Mushroom chicken
    Zander B.

    The food is so addictive and good--especially the buns --it's definitely worth a try! Mushroom chicken is so so . Service is great. Everyone is really nice and attentive, but it was really busy inside. Had to wait about 40 minutes so make sure to get there early or make reservations But charging $3 for a single bun cut in half is pretty crazy when you can down the whole thing in one bite.

    GUAVA PLANTATION ICED TEA
    Maansi S.

    This location is located within the Macy's. The guava iced tea was super refreshing. The chicken karaage was good. I loved their corn The mac and cheese side was not a fave for me. I also wasn't a fan of the syrup they served with the butter roll. Overall, this is a spot where you can get seated fast and get good portioned food. The dishes I ordered missed the mark for me but I would love to go back to try more off their extensive menu.

    My friend brought me here for lunch so we could try their lunch menu. We started with the pastries and cream puffs, which were a nice treat, but I'm really glad we also tried the oxtail soup and prime rib entrees. Everything was packed with flavor. The steaks were huge, cooked well, and very flavorful. Definitely a satisfying meal and I'll be coming back to try more items from their menu. I have to say, some of the pastries were a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but I'm still glad I got to try them. The Dubai chocolate one definitely stood out and was my favorite from the bunch. Worth trying if you enjoy rich and sweet desserts.

    If you want Filipino fusion food, this is the place!!! One of the best Filipino / Hawaiian restaurant in the island!!! The people are so genuinely friendly and welcoming. They smile and very sincere! The one by Macy's is the best one I've seen and very convenient! Has a very spacious dining and the bakery is full of pastries and sweet treats just lying there on a big table for everyone to enjoy.

    Kouign-amann

    This location is very convenient and easily accessible if you are shopping at the mall. They open at 7 am which is an hour later than their original location which makes it harder to grab treats and get to work before all the traffic starts. When I get there early they have everything, but sometimes later in the afternoon they start to run out of items. One item I wanted to try was their kouign-amann and it looked good but was bit dry. I think I will stick to their poi mochi donuts which are soft and a bit chewy without being overly sweet. My daughter also loves their hotdog roll with a mayo/ketchup top. Service is always good at 7 am. I have eaten sit down meals at this location and sometimes you have to wait depending on the amount of people there. The restaurant is located within/next to Macys so you can sip while you wait. The inside is nice and bright but wish they had a better view rather than the parking lot. Parking is great unless it's the holiday times.

    Highly recommended spot to get sweet treats and breakfast. Bakery caught our eyes as soon as we walked in and instantly ordered a coconut danish! We let the hostess know our party was here and ready to be seated. She informed us that there will be a short wait. We were seated 5 mins later and provided menus and gave drink orders. We waited maybe another 20 mins or so, then had to flag down our waitress to give our food orders. I ordered the corn beef hash, which comes with rice, eggs, and a mixed salad, as well as bread for the table. The bread was accompanied with strawberry jelly that tastes like filling from a donut. It was good, but a little too sweet for my liking. Our meals arrived shortly afterwards and were delicious! There was an entrance to the Ala Moana Mall in the restaurant which came in clutch to walk our meal off.

    Liliha Bakery was so... hard to find LOL. We were wandering back and forth through the Ala Moana Shopping Center trying to locate this restaurant. Was it in Macy's? Next to Macy's? Google Maps showed that it was in Macy's, but we were like "there's no way lol." But after circling the perimeter a couple of times, we were like "idk let's check the inside of the Macy's." We roamed around the inside of the Macy's for a while and eventually made our way to the third floor where the women's clothing section was. We didn't actually think that Liliha Bakery would be there, but we were running out of places to look. But it was! Right there, on the third floor of the Macy's, next to the dresses, was the entrance to Liliha Bakery. The sight was a little bizarre because like why would it be there, but regardless, that's where it is.  We put our name on the waitlist through the kiosk and waited about 15 minutes for our table. Service was very nice. We all got the loco moco with fried rice. It was so good! The hamburger patty tasted like it was fresh off a charcoal grill - a little smoky with a delicious charred edge. The garlic fried rice was so good too. We all scraped our plates clean! This was probably the best loco moco I've ever had. I'll definitely have to give Liliha Bakery another visit on my next trip to Oahu... and this time, I'll know exactly where to find it!

    Oxtail soup
    Reef A.

    Ordered Oxtail Soup and Miso Butterfish. Both were good. Oxtail soup had a bit too much green onions though. Butterfish had too much miso sauce but was tasty. Butterfish was very fresh and flaky- melts in your mouth texture. There wasn't a single fish bone in my butterfish so kudos to the fish cutter/cook. Loved the complimentary butter rolls with the meals. Service was a bit subpar. Host seated us next to a noisy large group that was celebrating some kind of work related event with speeches etc. There were so many empty tables around so it was not cool to seat us right next to this noisy group. We had to request a quieter spot and was relocated to a table much further away so that was a relief. Server didn't check on us much during our meals though.

    Kimchi fried rice with over easy eggs, cheese, sausage (free salad)
    Asialynn V.

    Service, food, location 10/10 They do get fairly busy during rushes but it's worth it! Came straight here after landing into the airport, perfect spot for breakfast and lunch; they have so much options! Located in Ala Moana mall 3rd floor, right next to Macy's. Theres a nice bakery area right outside the restaurant, serving their best pastries too Strawberry tea lemonade was really good. I got the kimchi fried rice, my boyfriend pork belly loco moco and my auntie and uncle got pancakes. Kimchi fried rice and pancakes were really good but the pork belly loco moco is what I've been dreaming about since, it was REALLY delicious I'll definitely love to come back again!

    This is one of our favorite places to eat at when were in Waikiki. This specific location is at the Ala Moana mall... inside Macy's. Lol. Originally came to just pick up some cream puffs but decided to sit and eat. Best decision ever. Complimentary butter rolls with jelly (melts in your mouth). We got their loco moco (good), the kimchi fried rice with spam and eggs (delish), and the 3 pc. fried chicken with rice, corn, and potato mac salad (THE BEST!). My husband loved the fried chicken so much, we tried going back the day after. Lol. The bakery section is a whole review in itself but I wanted to highlight some favorites: green tea & original puff! I could devour 4 at a time. Lol. Their cookies and breads are also good. Good food. Great service. Huge servings. Laid back diner. Delicious homestyle meals. Great bang for your buck. Highly highly recommend.

    Liliha Bakery is a local staple, and in recent years they've added a bunch of new locations. We've gotten takeout from this one inside Macy's a few times, but only dined in for the first time recently. You can get here through the store, or simply park right outside on the top level. They have a counter with their baked goods and other items to go as well. This place was busy! But the host was efficient to greet everyone and people were seated quickly. We sat at the big bar, which had no wait and the server was very fast to take our order. The menu is gigantic, with local foods, sandwiches, and breakfast. I had the kimchi fried rice, sooo good with lots of flavor. Portion sizes are huge for the price. The side of mac salad was yummy too, lots of dill. The plantation iced tea offered a refreshingly tropical treat too. If you're looking for something more casual and inexpensive while shopping in Ala Moana, this is a great option.

    Do they serve oatmeal or sourdough bread?

At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas.
