Long-established bakery in town that's been well-known for its reputation. Totally reminded me of LA's Porto Bakery with the concept, vibe, and affordable prices. A mix of resto and bakery with huge dining space that could accommodate big group and big selections within the bakery cases. Also multiple outlets in town! The one in Pearl City had particularly speedy service and super responsive servers. Yep you could tell hard to find stuffs and make choices given those huge options. We got their iconic Poi Mochi Doughnut, Coco Puff, and Hawaiian Butter Mochi. We were impressed by all particularly the last one with the huge portion that we could even bring home and still so so good. Perfectly chewy with slight crunch on top from the sugar and cinnamon. The Coco Puff was another pleasantful one, with chocolate custard inside and chantily (salted caramel alike) crunch layer on top that I was really fond of. Poi doughnut was similar to any other mochi doughnut, just featuring their iconic taro-alike local gem. If you wanna try multiple local signature sweets all at once certainly go here. read more

We order a lot of pastries here. We love all of their pastries. They're all so yummy! We also dined here with my families. We always go for the brunch. Their country style omelet is my go to. Awesome staff! They're all kind and wonderful people. I recommend this restaurant! I give them 5 stars read more

I really like the bread and fish here -- both are consistently good and always fresh. Their puffs are great too, definitely worth trying if you haven't yet. The staff is friendly, and having free parking makes the visit even easier, which is always a plus. I do wish the prices were cheaper, but the quality is solid enough that it still feels worth it. Overall, a tasty and convenient spot with good food, friendly service, and easy parking. read more

World famous cream puff! Came here for brunch and also got some of their pastries to go. We got the loco moco and loved it. The coco cream puff was my favorite, followed by the matcha a close second. It was a short 15 min wait for a table when we were there and restaurant was very busy, though they turn tables pretty quick. Will return again! read more

I loved my experience from beginning to end! Our server was very polite and attentive. The manager looked professional and well dressed. The butter rolls were so good. I had to order another one. The raspberry jelly was incredible!!! The Waffard was amazing was both crispy and light and fell apart perfectly in my mouth. It didn't feel heavy. The cream was delicious. The white whipped cream had a coconut taste. I enjoyed my corned beef hash as well. It wasn't too salty. Everything about my brunch was delicious and I would come back again. As a matter of fact, I'll be back for my birthday! read more

Whenever my brother comes home to visit, we always make sure to hit up Liliha Bakery. One of those comfort food locations that he always wants to visit. I personally like this location better than others because for one the location is closer to where I live and the parking situation is easier. There's always a wait to get in, but they make it easy for you to check in. There's a machine where you type in your name, phone number and the number of people in your party. My only wish is that it would tell you how long the wait is so you know whether you should just stick around or go for a walk around the shopping center. Luckily the wait wasn't very long when we arrived, so we were seated within about 5 minutes of arriving. Our go to orders are the Smoked Pork Belly and Kimchi Fried Rice. There's never a need to look at anything else because these two items are always a win! The smoked pork belly used to come with eggs, but I guess it doesn't anymore. He was also eyeing out the Mac Nut Waffard because he has had that and thoroughly enjoyed it in the past. My brother can eat, so when he is able to leave a restaurant feeling full and completely satisfied, you know it's a winner. Liliha Bakery did this for him. We've always had a great experience here, which is why we keep coming back. read more

Met a friend for breakfast at nine in a Friday. We were seated quickly because there still a lot of open tables. Our server was great, efficient but still took time to show aloha. She didn't rush us since we were catching up but was right there when we were ready to order. Brought our yummy basket of signature grilled butter rolls and their special jelly quickly. YUM! Love these, warm, crispy, buttery, I look forward to having these every time. She ordered the roast pork loco moco eggs over way and I ordered the smoked pork belly loco moco eggs sunny side up. My friend told me LB has excellent multigrain rice, and since I'm not a big fan of fried rice in my loco moco I was sold! We both got the multi grain rice. It was perfect with the loco moco. Gravy went well with it, rice was cooked to perfection, not too hard, and both texture and flavor was great. Good choice! Our dishes came soon enough and both our eggs were cooked exactly as ordered. My friend ate every bit of the roast pork, eggs, and gravy, leaving only some rice. I had two large slabs of pork belly cooked to perfection, nice and crispy and of course not dry. Tasted great even without gravy, but I always enjoy LB gravy. Since it was a lot of food I took half home. I have another small meal! Our server checked on us at appropriate times, only thing I would have liked was a refill of my water. Other than that, we were taken care of well and given the space we needed to catch up. She even brought T air our containers without us asking! By 10:30 the restaurant was relatively full with diners all enjoying their meals. We were able to enjoy our conversation, restaurant wasn't too noisy so it was a great place for getting together. It was also fun to see desserts being brought out from the back ready to go up front. They all looked so beautiful and delicious. Will be back, of course! May try the roast pork loco moco next time. Thought I took a pic of each loco moco but did not seem to get one of my friend's roast pork loco. Oops. But did get one of mine. read more

Liliha Bakery - Mushroom Chicken from Liliha bakery! First time trying this out and it did not disappoint! - Bakeries Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Rating actually/ 4 1/2, stars. Went here on a Saturday at around 9am. It was crowded, but we got seated pretty quickly. We ordered their regular New York Steak (4/5) & their Miso Butterfish (5/5). The steak was cooked fine but not too juicy since a NY steak is usually more lean. I wanted to order their Prime Rib, but they start serving that around 10:30am to 11am. Bummers. The Miso Butterfish is a winner; full of flavor. Just watch out for any small bones. Also got their famous pancake which I forgot to take a picture of. Lots of parking at Highlands. Service was great as usual. read more

Now, I've only had cream puffs and cookies from another Liliha Bakery location, so I was aware of the reputation and popularity of Liliha. This time around, I finally had the opportunity to give their breakfast a try, and I'm so glad I did. This Pearl City location if fairly big, so here's some of the deets: / Parking \ Large parking lot that's part of a shopping center. Should have no issues finding parking. // Dining-in & Service \\ The dining area looked fairly clean for the most part. They've got plenty of seating. Mostly tables for four. As for service, I didn't have any issues as well. Our server was welcoming and helpful while taking our order and coming back to check on us. /// Menu Items & More \\\ ~ I went straight for the jugular and ordered the Ox Tail Soup ($27.95), and yes I know it's not breakfast but I had to try it. I mean, it's part of their Daily Specials. It came with purple rice and minced ginger which was so good! The broth itself was clear and delicious as well. The tails, well they were tender and flavorful as well. I'd probably order this again even though it's pretty pricey. So glad I had leftovers too! ~ I had a cousin that killed the French Toast ($14.95), I mean they used their sweet bread. Something I wasn't expecting. They were large pie shaped pieces. ~ Another cousin had a Loco Moco with Fried Rice ($19.95) in which she had to take half of it home. While a niece of mine had the Kim Chee Fried Rice & Eggs ($20.50), only she enjoyed it but never finished her leftovers at home. She did say she really like it though. ~ Oh yeah, and those dang addictive butter rolls! Holy crap they were deathly good! Buttery as hell! Butter all over your fingers! I can easily eat more than one, but for health reasons I did not lol. //// Overall \\\\ To me, this Liliha Bakery location was on-point with everything! The service was cordial from hostess to server, the breakfast was belly filling goodness, and you cannot leave here without getting a cream puff or a bread roll. Yeah, I cannot wait to come back here again! read more

Not just dessert. I've checked in here a few times but only for dessert. This is my first dine-in here. The restaurant name is an Hawaiian staple so why not have a Hawaiian staple dish? Good old regular loco moco with sunny side up. Ok I upgrade to fried rice but hey it's still a staple. Ono, ono, ono. Some people might complain that there was too much gravy. No way, you can never have enough of this delicious gravy. I love covering each patty bite with it. And who doesn't like watch the yoke ooze slowly on to the gravy? Overall four stars. Good meal with good service. Plenty of seating and after your meal take a dozen poi donuts to go. read more

This review is solely regarding very specific bakery items. They don't have it most times we visit... but their dobash/Boston cream pie hybrid cake is soooo ono!! If you freeze them by the slice, it's excellent with just a few minutes to thaw slightly... it's like a frozen custard cake. So crazy delicious. We also love their maple bacon, Boston cream pie, and long John donuts. If you need to reheat them, they're better made into French toast, monkey bread, or waffles... regular steaming helps as well but recommend just eating them fresh as much as possible. read more

We visited this location in Pearl City so we could take a treat to some local family. Decided to stay for brunch and then puck up some bakery items. Our family ordered garlic fried rice, Macnut Waffard, grilled mahi mahi and clam chowder. None of us left the plates with anything on it. It was all delicious. As for the bakery items, they're famous for their cream puffs but you can't go wrong with any of the items in the display case. read more

Liliha Bakery in Pearl City is good! We came here a few times and the interior is large with lots of seating, BUT they fill up! Be prepared for a wait! I think the buttered rolls are so delicious! I tried their kimchi fried rice and it was really sweet. I'm Korean-American, and it was truly too sweet for Me. Their Loco moco is delicious! A random thing that I loved was their ranch It turns out thier salad uses a homemade ranch that they now sell in store! I love how the bakery side has a huge selection and such beautiful cookie designs as well! I know this is a famous restaurant with a loved history on Island. I respect and honor the impact this spot has has and will try my best to give it the love it deserves! read more

So as soon as we walked in wait time was like 5 mins and we were seated. The server was really nice. Took our order efficiently. The ambience was actually nice too. It was very crowded but very family friendly place. The food on the other hand could've been better. The chicken and mushroom was very awesome on that topic. But the hamburger steak that I ordered for the price wasn't that good? I was kind of disappointed. Definitely would come back here again to try other things cause their food is good. Just not the hamburger steak for that price in my opinion then we got some dessert after which consisted of the Dubai croissant which was amazing. I got an onion roll and a chocolate croissant as well The kids loved that one. read more

My friends and I stopped in at Liliha Bakery at Pearl Highlands for a casual dinner. They don't take reservations, but luckily it wasn't too busy at 6pm on a Monday night so we were seated right away. The dinner menu is pretty extensive and includes all day breakfast. I absolutely love their hot cakes so it's always a must order. I also love that this location serves wine and beer. Service was great and the food came quickly. The only thing was the miso butterfish was a lot smaller than what was pictured on the menu. Be sure to stop for those famous coco creams puffs and mochi donuts on your way out! read more

This place was busy! They have a bakery section which was huge and looks like the crowd favorite was cream puffs. No reservations required we walked in and were greeted by Audryl who was great. Menu has breakfast options available all day but we opted for lunch. While you wait for your food you are given some butter buns that literally melts in your mouth. I had the grilled salmon plate with rice and corn which was yummy. Salmon cooked perfectly. My husband had the chicken wing plate which looked great and he mentioned it was the best he had on the Island. We have guava mimosa as the alcohol beverage list is limited. Service was great. Everyone waking by had a smile on their face. They have an open kitchen so you can watch them cook and make pastries. Definitely coming back here when visiting Oahu. read more

Liliha Bakery, one of my fav spots on the island for breakfast food. The service is warm and welcoming. The service can be a bit slow when it's busy, but otherwise it's always on point. My coffee cup never goes dry! The ambiance is busy and social. Lots of families. Plenty of seating and I've never waited very long for a table. There is always bar seating too. The food is so delicious and it seems they're always adding new menu items. The wafford is a must. read more

I had mixed feelings about Liliha Bakery in Pearl City. I ordered the Denver omelet, which was just okay. What really downgraded it for me was the use of American cheese. I didn't realize it was the default cheese likely listed on the menu, but it was surprising and not a great fit for an omelet. I am hoping that is not the standard cheese for all omelets. The side salad was also underwhelming and was literally just four small pieces of romaine lettuce. The potatoes however were good and probably the highlight of that plate. We also ordered the steak and lobster, which was actually quite good for a bakery. It is not steakhouse quality, but the steak was prepared well with a nice smoky flavor, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. The lobster on the other hand was excellent and well seasoned and cooked nicely. We took brownies and chocolate chip cookies to go, and unfortunately those were a big disappointment. The cookies were flavorless, and the brownies had a very chewy almost mochi like texture that was not pleasant and did not taste good. While these baked goods may not be their main focus, this is a bakery so expectations are naturally higher. Our server was great and very prompt, polite and professional. Overall, some items were solid, but inconsistencies in food quality especially the baked goods make this a middle of the road experience for me. read more

Great spot for late night dinner. At 9pm many locations were closed and to our surprise Lilia Bakery was still open. We had a party of 14 and they were so accommodating. Service was fantastic!

It was a bit strange having to leave the restaurant to use the restroom, though. read more

I love Liliha Bakery, and generally never disappointed. I went there on Wednesday to the Pearl City location to pick up a custard pie and 1 dozen butter rolls, and we were extremely disappointed!! The custard pie was delicious, but for $23+ for a dozen butter rolls, it tasted old, dry, and stale!! What happened Liliha Bakery?!! We're now figuring out what to do to with it, so it's not thrown away!! After all for $23, we can't just dump it!! I was actually surprised after paying for everything that my bill was $41!! The rolls were more than the custard pie!! As mentioned, extremely disappointed, and feel I should be reimbursed for old butter rolls, that honestly wasn't even buttery! read more

This Liliha bakery location is so much more closer to my house. Now the people who live on the west side don't have to drive all the way into town to get some of their famous butter rolls! Yay! As always, the butter rolls and jam were amazing. They come out hot and are so soft and fluffy. It's a must-get every time you go to Liliha Bakery. Our waitress was very attentive, despite the lunch rush that was happening. It seems like their waitress to customer ratio is good so the customers are sitting around waiting forever. She was nice and attentive and refilled our drinks without us ever asking. The ambiance of the restaurant is very "local style". Many families eating together. Noise level is moderate. So it's good if you'd like to hear a conversation without having to shout across the table. Definitely a nice and easy place to grab a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner! Stop by their bakery section afterwords for their famous cream puffs to-go! read more

Liliha Bakery - Denver omelette with seasoned potatoes and fresh greens - Bakeries Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

We knew it would be busy because its Saturday morning and the bakery is popular for its baked items. After putting my name on the waitlist, I surprised that we only had to wait 15 minutes; we were told approximately 20 or more minutes. Our waitress was really nice and kept our drinks full; she checked on us multiple times. If I was rating the service alone it would've been much higher, but my rate is also including the food. My daughter and husband ordered the smoke pork belly with fried rice and mac salad, and I ordered a short stack; we took a Denver omelette to go for my son-in-law. My husband and daughter thought the pork belly was okay but expected it to be cooked differently; they also expected a different cut of pork. My pancakes came out straight from the griddle and were nice and fluffy.. I was super excited to try them but was quickly disappointed after taking one bite. Luckily, the butter and syrup helped a lot. I really wish they offered buttermilk pancakes or different flavors/toppings. They had a banana short stack but my daughter doesn't like bananas and I was sharing my pancakes with her. Even though we didn't really enjoy the food, our service was amazing and the coco puffs were absolutely delicious! Id still consider coming back to try other dishes or grab something from the bakery. read more

Bakery Review: I ordered a chantilly cake online before coming to save time. It says that if you want writing on the cake, reply to the email receipt. The email that came was a no reply email. I know that when I ordered from the OG location, the email came from someone, so I could reply. Anyways, I came to get my order and realized I wanted to order mochi donuts and candles, so I took a number. There were only 2 workers and about 4 people ahead of me in line. They moved quickly. However, when I told them my order they did not have it. She had to go on the computer and print out multiple online orders. Not sure their process on online order pulling, but it did not seem like there was a specific person checking it. She asked me if I wanted writing and I said yes. I have to say that the ladies are not as friendly here as other locations. The dining area was rather slow as well. Now, we all know that chantilly cakes are delicious. I've never purchased a cake that was frozen in the inside! While we were cutting into it, it was frozen. It didn't taste very good either. Super disappointed in this specifically. Is this how they make their cakes? Freeze it for later use?? Horrible. read more

Normally Liliha is on point and it could be just what I ordered that sucks. Everyone else that I was with liked their food. I had just the normal cheeseburger but it had some type of relish mayo spread that just made it taste weird. It's like the filipino sandwich spread...Three ladies or something like that. The potatoes that came with it was good. The mac salad though....had raisins and I'm not a raisin person so that caught me off guard. Just stick with everything else BUT the cheeseburger. read more
