Absolute gem of a breakfast and brunch spot! Located in the heart of Honolulu, this cafe serves up some of the best local favs- lilikoi pancakes, loco moco with gravy and rice, house made fried rice and that delicious Portuguese sausage! We arrived around 9ish (mid week). There was about a 5-10 min wait time (not bad considering this place is pretty popular among locals). Staff were friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the beach vibe was definitely chill and laid back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our food was delivered freshly hot and in a timely manner (very grateful for that). Of course my wife ordered the famous lilikoi pancakes- they were light and fluffy and topped with an amazing passion fruit sauce 10/10! I don't normally eat a short stack of pancakes, but that lilikoi sauce was fire!!! I ordered the moké nui omelette- it had bacon, ham, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and cheese! It was very hearty! And the hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (just the way I like it). My kids shared the sunrise breakfast- (2) pancakes, (2) eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and toast! Overall, we had an absolute divine dining experience! If we ever come back to the island (which we will), this will definitely be on our list of places to revisit. Mahalo! read more

NEW GO TO - Love this place! We had the Loco Moco with fried rice and an extra side of Portuguese sausage and boy was it delicious. Over easy egg on top of a beef patty on top of fried rice and gravy all around. The only thing I would change is the beef patty, it was very thin and small.... otherwise, it was great. And the Portuguese sausage was very tasty! Would I go back? YES!! read more

A not too secret spot. We were here for a late breakfast and they were plenty busy. Very casual and mostly locals. You gotta want it. A hike up steep stairs and about 10-15 min wait for a table. Boy,was it worth it. The Liliko'i pancakes were light and fluffy with an amazing sauce. I took half-hone and they were great snack the next day. Hubby had the Sunrise breakfast. That biscuit totally made it. Good coffee. Absolutely adorable server. There was no waiting for anything. We will revisit before we go home. It's that good. read more

I am giving Moke's a 3.50 rating for my brunch experience there. Food was tasty. Nothing bad, our dishes were just good enuff, in a solid, not goin piss u off but not goin make you hum or sing when you eating. Our party ordered the loco moco, corned beef hash with eggs and the ribeye steak and eggs. Service was good, food came to table quickly tho one order was incorrect but promptly identified by the staff and corrected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is alright for this type of establishment but not A/C on this warm July day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are nearby not a bad choice. read more

I came here on a weekend around 0930 with a large group. Wait time was about 15 minutes. I ordered the vegetable omelette which was good. I liked how they used the cheery tomatoes and fresh ingredients. It was perfectly cooked. I ordered the side of hash browns and liked how it wasn't salty. The only thing was that hash browns were lukewarm in the inside. This restaurant is pricier than other breakfast places, around $30 for breakfast and coffee for mine. read more

Very solid breakfast spot. The item that keeps me coming back is the liliko'i pancakes. I've tried all the other popular breakfast spots but this one hits different. The food is above average and usually I go with the loco moco but decided not to this time. But definitely try their loco moco. I believe the kailua location is the original location and looks better than this one but, this location no need for a wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems like not a lot of people know of this location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Solid breakfast spot and you will not be disappointed with the liliko'i pancakes! read more

Was in the area and decided to try this spot coz of the reviews. The reviews held up, [[HIGHLIGHT]]really good food, service and island ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came in on Sunday at 0745 and we beat the rush. Had a wait around 0820. Had the secret menu moco combo. This tasted really good. Just wish it had more corned beef hash. The pancakes were cooked very well...fluffy, buttery and just delicious. The portion sizes are huge. We went with our servers recommendation to order two main plates savory and sweet to share amongst 3 of us. This with two sides of hash browns and bacon worked great. We ate it all and weren't over full. Highly recommend this. read more

This place was pretty decent. I messed with the Lillikoi pancakes but I was expecting it to be a bit sweeter and less sour. My friends got other secret menu items and I think they were pretty fire too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other than that it was a nice lil breakfast spot to cap off a successful Hawaii trip.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here for a Saturday brunch an hour before closing, surprisingly it wasn't busy. Service was prompt & we started off with lilikoi pancakes, loco moco, and French toast. The pancakes were amazingly light and fluffy. The loco moco gravy was the best on island I've had so far. We wanted to sub white rice for fried but they ran out since we came so late in the day. I was getting full fast, so I did not try the French toast but my friend ate most of it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute little brunch spot with a breezy atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We dined in for breakfast around 10:30 and it was nice and empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were immediately sat at a table inside and greeted by the server. She was very attentive and gave us recommendations on her menu favorites. I got the lilikoi pancakes and the moke nui omelette with hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were crispy and not salty at all. I really enjoyed it. The lilikoi pancakes were SO good! I honestly loved this more than the omelette. It was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The server recommended it, so we just got it to try and we were so surprised that we loved it. I would definitely order this again. read more

Came for the sunrise special, specifically likikoi pancakes. Food is solid. It's kind of pricey in my opinion for a breakfast. About $20/ person before tips (lilikoi sauce is +$3, used to be +$2). But that's the going rate these days I suppose. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service is friendly and restaurant is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a shared parking lot that's 75 cents/ half hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get busy depending on the time of day you're there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Bad breakfast experience. At the time that I went the restaurant wasn't super busy. We waited about 30 minutes to get our food. Pretty standard fare, so no pics. Ordered my Portuguese well done and it came with no caemelization...just heated up. Didn't take it back because we just waited too long and didn't want to spend half our morning there. Hash browns came out burnt--not crispy, just hard: Eggs and ham were fine, but rye toast (one very small piece, btw They used to put two slices on the plate, now just one) was hard as a rock and barely buttered. Couldn't use it to absorb yolk. Bummer. Lilikoi pancakes were good, not too sweet. As for the service, it was ok but the waiter was kind of a jerk. Also, make sure you hit "custom" for the tip: They set the setting to start at 19%!! Like I said, bad experience. read more

Gosh the brunch here was sooooo delicious! Was just what we were lookin for, classic Hawaiian brunch wit incredible pancakes! I'll be missing the Lilikoi pancakes until I return. Cored beef hash was out of this world. Parking lot is lie $2-3 i think. Not bad! They all have a great drink selection both alcohol and non alcoholic. read more

Moke’s Bread And Breakfast - Portuguese Sausage and Eggs, Corned Beef Hash & Eggs, Lilikoi Pancakes (2pc) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Rumor has it - best lilikoi pancakes on island And the rumors are true! When worked in the area, a few of my customers mentioned this place. Bookmarked for later! Yelp BFF and I were in the neighborhood and noticed the wait wasn't too bad, so we popped in for brunch. I ordered the lilikoi pancakes and Yelp BFF got one of the stuffed hashbrowns (it peeked our interest) Service is a bit slow because there was only a couple of people working, so be patient. The pancakes were super fluffy and drenched in delicious and creamy lilikoi sauce. I'm in heaven! The stuffed hashbrown is essentially an omelet wrapped in hash and cheese. We ate as much as we could, but still ended up with leftovers to take home. Definitely need to go back! Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next! read more

Smallish, unassuming spot. Ambiance reminds of a slightly updated local diner feel. The breakfast menu provides plenty of options - sweet, savory, and local favorites. Loco Moco with optional fried rice sounded delicious. The gravy was very good, fried rice was a great adder, and the burger patty was flavorful. Service was good as well. Although I didn't try them, the pancakes were quite popular and looked really good. N*joy! read more

Had a late breakfast at around 1130am. Decided on Moke's Bread and Breakfast in Kaimuki. I enjoyed a different location before. The music playing is loud. The menu is a little smaller than past menus. The lunch salads was appealing but I decided on breakfast. The description of the homemade corned beef hash sounded great but what I received was a pinkish looking patty. I took a picture of what the corned beef patty looked like when broken open. I was hungry so I did eat it but it seemed to be ground up and reconstituted into a patty. It did not look like it came from a brisket. It has a very salty taste as well. I did add shoyu to my rice without tasting the corned beef hash first. Eating the corned beef with the toast did balance out the salt with the bread. The service was courteous and helpful. There was no waiting time. We were seated in a spacious table. Liked the various photos of Diamond Head Crater with various cloud and shadows. Good ambiance in the restaurant. read more

Kaimuki is very lucky to host the town outpost of Moke's. Kailua is great but it's nice not to have to trek over the mountain to enjoy their delicious pancakes and lilikoi sauce. Perhaps the best thing about Moke's, yes even better than their food, is their wonderful servers. They are very welcoming, sweet and just wonderful. Even though the restaurant is bustling, they make you feel welcomed and are very attentive. Now on to the 2nd tier of goodness here- those pancake and lilikoi sauce. Neighboring Koko Head Cafe offers a more gourmet version of a pancake but Moke's offers a comforting home-style version that I adore. To me it's the perfect pancake that I wish I could make at home. Their pancakes are fluffy, perfectly browned and delicious!!! Don't forget to order the lilikoi sauce to grace the tops of those golden brown discs. The sauce is creamy, lightly sweetened and a little bit tart. The lilikoi is subtle but shines through. Highly recommended. One last gem- their iced coffee! It's very smooth and- you guessed it- delicious! Right now Moke's has a weekday special For less than $6 you can get 2 smaller sized pancakes, 2 crisp slices of bacon and 1 egg. It's a great price for what you get. T read more

Just go here ok? Come on now. Just look at the pics. Look at that combo loco moco. We had to get it with the meat eaters on our table. It went super well with the pancakes and my sister got the veggie omelet which was equally delicious. There was a little bit of a wait, but not that long and it keeps us posted really well. It is a small restaurant, but it was clean and cozy . The weight staff was very kind and came to check on us often even though the restaurant was packed I would definitely come back again, and I wish that they were closer to where we live! read more

I was really disappointed with this experience. Bread was almost rubbery. Tried to take a bite and couldn't bite through it. So I didn't eat it. Corn beef hash looked like cat food, and tasted off. Eggs and has brown where good. Waited 30minutes which I didn't think was bad for some local places. Also our server had his back to us for most of the time and never checked on us. We had to go up and ask for our bill then go up to get the card ran. read more

This spot is great for breakfast if you're driving around the area. I got the Loco Moco, which had really good gravy flavor, and the lilikoi pancakes, which were drizzled with an amazing lilikoi sauce. Honestly, the sauce tastes like you could put it on anything and it would make it taste good. Great service and vibes here. Definitely a spot worth trying if you're around the area. read more

We were craving breakfast food this morning and decided to come to Moke's! We went around 10am and thankfully there was no line. My favorite dish was definitely the Lilikoi Pancake! It pairs so well with their black coffee. I love the zestyness and refreshing notes from the sauce on top! Also the pancake was fluffy and warm too. As for the hashbrown I wasn't a huge fan of it and the main reason for that is because 1. It got cold really quickly and 2. Once everything got cold fast everything became soggy and stale.. Overall, Would I come back? Yes! I would love to try their other pancakes and honestly their coffee just pairs so nicely with the sweetness. And service was great as well. Our server explained everything to us and was very friendly. read more

Great yummy food, highly recommend. Wanted to try a new place for brunch, saw the yelp good ratings. Came about noon. Had to wait a little bit for a table for two. Coffee was good, nice start. Omelet was very tasty--the accompanying Hashbrowns were without exception some of the best we've ever had. They were at least 2" high, fried just right, crispy (not burnt) moist potatoes--cooked perfectly. The cinnamon French toast was delicious. Will definitely come again. Parking is metered parking on the street, did not take too long to find a spot. Sure would like to try their pork hash--next time, have to come early. read more

Came here after completing diamond head and I'm glad we did! We got here prob by 7:30am and we had no wait time. Probably after 15min the place was packed. My daughter got the basic traditional breakfast and I got the Loco Moke with fried rice, it was soooo good! I also got the lilikoi pancake to try, which I thought was good as well but my daughter wasn't a fan. So happy I got to try this spot, this place will def be added to my list of places to eat Everytime I visit Oahu. read more

Stopped by here after visiting the KCC Farmers Market as hubs wanted someplace to sit and eat. Been a while since we were last here. Short wait for an inside table when we arrived. There was a seasonal mango pancake special which sounded good but we all wanted something savory. Kiddo and I went with the Loco Moke. Other kiddo ordered the Loco Moco and hubs went with the corned beef hash. The Loco Moke was maybe a tad too salty for me - thought I crunched into some salt crystals, too. Over-medium eggs were nicely done. The corned beef hash had good flavor. read more

Moke's lilikoi pancakes cannot be beat! I usually love a savory breakfast over sweet but I HAVE to get their pancakes every time. Buttery, fluffy--to die for! Servers are always on top of everything, no matter how busy they get--and they get super busy on weekends, as most brunch places do. Fair prices, quality food. Can't go wrong with any order! Love to hear their specials. Limited seating inside and out--hence the longer waits during peak hours. You can always order takeout! The vibes are always good here.

We had a number of loco mocos this trip and Moke's has the best gravy for sure. The steak was cooked perfectly and really made this loco stand out from all the others we've tried. We also got the lilikoi pancakes and the sauce was soooooo flavorful and buttery, just wish there was more of it! After a few minutes most of the sauce dripped off or got soaked into the top stack. read more

Little bit of a wait on Friday morning but not bad, they had plenty of seating. Staff were nice and service was quick. Inside is clean and quaint. We both got coffee and my boyfriend ordered off the secret menu online - The Jeff. The portions are huge, we could have split something! Omelette was good, hash browns were crispy but a little cold. Inside it was average volume but when I've tried to come on a Saturday or Sunday morning and it's packed I imagine it's a little louder. Plenty of paid parking as well. read more

The food first, it was ok. Nothing to wait 45 minutes in line for. Loco moco - patty was good but gravy could be better. 2 eggs over easy with bacon and biscuit. Biscuit was more like a scone than a biscuit but it was good. Corned beef with hash and eggs, it was ok. Mokapu omelette was meh at best. Lilikoi and Mango pancakes - both were pretty good. It's just a breakfast place with nothing that is amazing. Now to the wait, they seem fully staffed but just extremely inefficient. They are nice but tables left uncleaned while they chat it up. The wait just seems so unnecessary. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit this place. read more

Food: If you're a purist when it comes to breakfast, this is the place for you. They offer a simpler menu with a few standout items. There's a dish for all types of diners. Service: Sign in on the clipboard. Waiting area is out of the sun in the stair well, I loved that it was furnished so it doesn't feel like a stairwell. The Service starts when you're called in. + Pleasant greeting + Prompt drinks and ordering. ++Food came out quick (which is fabulous when with keiki) + Mid meal check in. +++ They have mobile devices that check you out at the table, loved that it wasn't an additional wait to get the check. Ambience: Clean, open air, nice neighborhood spot. Overall: It was a little pricey for 2 Mickey pancakes and omelette w/ hash browns ($70 includes tip) however I enjoy supporting local businesses. If I return, I'd def order more of the honey biscuits and try the lilikoi pancakes. Mahalo for the service! read more
