This is definitely another time I cant understand how the restaurant could everrrr be rated under 5 stars. I had the big breakfast - eggs scrambled soft, sausage, rice. Coffee. My friend had the big breakfast - eggs over easy, sausage, hash browns. She raved over the hash browns, and cleaned her plate. We also split a Lilikoi pancake. We went to church after and raved about our experience. SUPER FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE. She ended up falling asleep during the sermon - food coma. read more

Food: you can make all the same quality food at home. Service: great service Ambiance: the setting is really friendly. This is great for tourists from areas that's don't have well seasoned food. Really good suburban area restaurant. Definitely wouldn't take anyone here if they like seasoned or delicious food. You could eat at home for better quality restaurant. If you really want to eat l, just order some pancakes then take a picture and go find a different breakfast spot. read more

We decided to hang out in the Kaneohe/Kailua side this day so we started our day at Moke's. They only have street parking so you're lucky if you find one. There's a parking lot across the street from them but DO NOT park there, you will get towed! They even have it posted on their wall at the restaurant. When we got there, there was about a 20-30 minute wait. When we finally got seated, we were sat on one of the two tables outside which was awkward cuz you have people waiting and you kinda feel like they're watching you eat. However, it is a hole in the wall so understandable that they tried to maximize their outside with tables. Service was great. Even if you're outside, they do not forget about you which is a plus. As for food, I'm a sucker for corn beef hash but I went with the moke nui omelet which had bacon, ham, spinach, mushroom, tomato, onions, and cheese. I opted to go with hash browns instead of rice. My Husband had the corn beef hash with over easy eggs and rice and our Daughter had the Mickey Mouse pancake. Our food didn't take long to come out. I tried the corn beef hash from my Husband's plate and I wasn't a fan. There was an acquired taste to it. I asked my Husand how he liked it and he said it was okay. My Daughter's pancake was cute. "A" for effort in trying to make it Mickey Mouse shaped. Overall this place was okay. I may come back to try other things, however, the parking is the disadvantage here. read more

Always a great spot for a delicious breakfast. My go to breakfast is always the corned beef hash. This is not your typical corn beef hash from a can let me tell you, the corn beef hash is made fresh daily. You can really taste the pickling spices like coriander,clove and bayleaves. Another standout is the Lilikoi Pancakes. The pancakes are light and fluffy, with this incredible liliykoi sauce, and some whipped cream. So good. Service is always impeccable. If you are a regular, I can guarantee they will remember your name and your favorite thing you like to eat. Pro tip, I would suggest either going as soon as they open or later like 10 o'clock for breakfast to avoid the crowd. This place gets really busy and parking can be a little bit tight as it is street parking only. Do not park across the street in the shopping complex or your car will get towed. read more

Moke's Bread & Breakfast - So good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Starting off strong, we stood at the Host stand for quite a while before being acknowledged. A Server did come up to grab the Bathroom key for her table, looked at us, and walked away . Oh okay lol Then a few minutes later a lady came up to help us and but our name down on the list. She had a more pleasant demeanor. I do think I remember her from my last visit about 5 years ago. Anyway- Place is a decent size but if you have a large party, it could take a while to be sat together. They have condiment packs on the table for your use. I prefer it more than using bottles. Lilikoi pancakes were still excellent , bacon was very greasy, like instead of letting it drain, they plopped it on the plate..just blot it if it's not your thing. Corned Beef Hash was passable.. it wasn't terrible but extremely salty and too much potato mixed it.. Eggs and coffee were great. I can't say I would go out of my way to eat here BUT if you're in the area or first time visitor, I'd absolutely recommend. I must note, we did come on a Saturday morning and although it wasn't as crowded as i remembered it could be, we did wait pretty long for our food. BOH may be understaffed so be patient. Parking is street metered. Don't park across the street in the lot. They are very fast to tow. read more

Moke's Bread & Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

After being sufficiently caffeinated, my mainland friends were eager to check out this well-loved breakfast joint. I'd only been to the Kaimuki location before, but we took the scenic route to where it all began. Hawaii takes its breakfast scene very seriously, so I arrived with a solid benchmark in mind. They're walk-in only, but luck was on our side and we were seated right away. Location: Planted squarely in the middle of Hoolai St - no frills, no fanfare, just there. Parking: Street parking only, but I pulled into a spot right across the street. When the universe cooperates, I don't argue. Atmosphere: Walking in feels less like entering a restaurant and more like visiting a neighbor's home - simple, airy, and naturally charming. It genuinely feels like an extension of the surrounding neighborhood. Food: We went family-style with the photogenic lilikoi pancakes, an omelet (pretty sure it was the Moke Nui) with tomato slices, and a classic home-style breakfast of scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage, and rice. The lilikoi sauce was the undeniable star - silky, bright, and delightful. Everything else tasted familiar - like something I could casually recreate while in pajamas on a lazy Sunday. My friend swore the eggs tasted extra fresh, so take that as you will. Drinks: Only water made it to the table - the coffee we had earlier did most of the heavy lifting. Service: Our waitress was warm and attentive - no complaints there. Price: About $16-17 per person, which felt ambitious for food that leaned more "cozy" than "wow." Would I return? I'm open to a redemption round, but the food didn't exactly knock my slippers off. read more

Just had breakfast at this cute little spot in Kailua and overall had a great experience! I ordered the Corned Beef Hash with hash browns - it was good, though not mind-blowing. The main 'difficulty' was that they only had packets of ketchup and soy sauce. Could have definitely used more seasoning and honestly about three times the amount of ketchup they provided. The real standout was the lilikoi pancakes - absolutely delicious and very flavorful! My wife got the French toast and rated it an 8/10, which came with pork link sausages. We also got an extra serving of that amazing lilikoi sauce for the French toast - it's incredibly creamy and makes everything better. Service was excellent, shoutout to Crystal who took great care of us. The restaurant gets very busy so expect a wait, and parking is a real challenge since it's only metered street parking. Good luck finding a spot! Despite the minor issues, the food quality and service make this place worth the visit. The lilikoi sauce alone is reason enough to come back. read more

Dropped by here yesterday with a friend for breakfast before 9 am (on a Tuesday). About a 20 min wait to be seated. Parking is paid street parking. First time at the Kailua location, usually go to the one in Kaimuki. Our server, Mahina, was great! Only seemed like there were a few workers but they all were working hard tending to everyone as quickly as they could. My friend and I both had the home made corned beef hash. I ordered mine with hash browns and over medium eggs, my friend had hers with fried rice and scrambled eggs. I personally was not a fan of the corned beef hash, as I prefer it to be chunkier with pieces of meat and not like the canned kind. My fault for not asking, too. Otherwise it did have some kind of a nice herbal flavor to it. Pancake was good, had too much passion fruit sauce for my taste and was a bit too sweet, but could be because we only ordered a single pancake and the sauce to pancake ratio was off. read more

Moke's was so good! We decided to stop by here after hiking and it was such a good decision. The inside is pretty small, but we were extremely quick and the service was great. Our food came out relatively fast and I added bananas to the French toast, which I thought was delicious. This ham was also probably the best ham I've ever had - SO GOOD. read more

You could miss this place if you aren't looking for it. We were quickly seated and given menus and water. It is a quaint place, but there is also outdoor seating. This was my first time here and it was worth it. My daughter got the loco moco and really enjoyed the gravy. They have the traditional loco moco and one with prime rib. She got the traditional, but with fried rice. I got the corn beef hash meal with scrambled eggs and crispy hash browns. We also ordered a lilikoi pancake. At first, I didn't know whether it was the pancake or syrup that made it so special. We soon found out and enjoyed the sweet tart taste of the lilikoi sauce. It is thick and chilled. In my opinion, eat it while the sauce is still cold. When it starts warming, you can taste the butter on the pancakes, but it is still good. This is definitely a place I will visit again and bring my grandson next time. read more

A bit on the pricier side for breakfast/brunch but everything was well cooked. The homemade corn beef hash was crispy on the outside and soft on the middle. The hash browns also had a great crunch. I think this was my fav or the meal! The individual portions were smaller than most breakfast places except the lilkoi pancakes which were huge!!! Definitely could've gone for the 2 pieces vs 3 since there was an ample amount for our table of 5. Overall a very enjoyable brunch! Be sure to give yourself some time as the food comes out very slowly. read more

The quality went WAY down. We went at around 11:30 am... my hashbrowns were chewy (not in a good way). The fried rice wasn't very flavorful, had chunks of rice that was still white. My fiancé's Loco Moke was not good. It was cold and the steak was not cooked how he asked. He asked for medium rare, it was not that. Close to well done. The service was great. Our server was so sweet and apologetic. We were in a huge rush so we didn't get time to tell our server... we felt bad because last time we went, the food was way better than that. Servers are working on overdrive to make up for the kitchen staff's shortcomings. I didn't get our server's name but she was so sweet. read more

Got lucky this morning, almost no line! The staff is super friendly and efficient. Crystal was dressed festively for the holidays and it added another level of enjoyment. Definitely made it a lovely breakfast experience, relaxing and delicious. The menu is simple, but hearty. We got the moke nui omelet and the moke nui stuffed hashbrown (the omelet ingredients inside a hashbrown instead of eggs, great idea!). It was filling and delicious. This is definitely a regular neighborhood joint to return to and try all the different choices. read more

Popular spot! waited a little... but the food was good . Highly recommend the Lilikoi pancakes! Super good.

Amazing local food! They are famous for their Lillikoi pancakes and loco mocos. They also serve omelettes and breakfast plates. Once seated, service was pretty quick. They do get crowded quickly and the wait can range from 30-45 minutes. The seating area is relatively small, but quiet enough to have conversations with others around you. The one negative with the place is the parking. You have to find street parking, do not park in the parking lot across the restaurant because they will tow you very quickly. read more

Delicious breakfast, friendly service... I'm so glad I crossed the island to meet a friend there!

I saw this place on social media and decided to go for breakfast before going to Lanikai beach. There was no line when I arrived around 10 or so but there was quickly a line after I was seated. They have both indoor and outdoor dining, with only a few (2?) tables outside and the majority inside. I ordered the lilikoi pancakes for breakfast and the loco moco to go for lunch. The food took a little while to come out (I had only put 45 minutes on my meter). The portion size of the pancakes was huge! I was very full after finishing it. They tasted great and would definitely recommend trying (maybe sharing a plate as well). I ate the loco moco a few hours later but it still tasted pretty good after sitting out for a while. Street parking only. It's on a pretty small street so can be hard to find but there's a few metered spots on the street itself. read more

I've been coming here with my husband and young daughter for some time on weekends where I enjoy being away from the mess of Hkai area. One morning one of the staff noticed toddler daughter was having a tough time in the restaurant even though she's been there before. They brought her a little toy to help distract her and I have never expected such kindness. While she was just fussy due to being hungry, she quickly calmed down once the food came. On that day there was an emergency in the kitchen. While the staff was dealing with that they still managed to keep their cool and made sure guests still felt comfortable and coffee was always being offered (a plus!) I look forward to returning to this spot on the weekends as while it's a little small, other guests still seem to enjoy it as well. We enjoy the food regardless of what we order but it's the staff that really makes this location special. read more

parking... like many ppl I initially parked across the street in a lil mall parking cuz was empty. got in line and read a sign that says don't park across cuz they tow. so DONT PARK ACROSS THE STREET. I moved and drove around til I found street metered parking by walgreens. got my exercise with the short few minutes walk. greeted by sweet local lady that told us wait is 5 minutes or so. we got seated promptly after. place is homey and clean. local style decoration. water was good... no junk taste. got cups of coffee- theirs is nice and strong like a medium dark roast. ono. got the cream too. their flagship is da lilikoi pancake so had to try... buggah is winnahs. fluffy pancakes and kinda like a heavy whipping cream lilikoi mixture on top. it's very light and not overly sweet... just right. presented with a spot of whipped creak and orange rind. I always gotta try corned beef hash cuz az my faves. this is a 1 patty with finely processed fresh corned beef and potato, lightly fried. served with couple eggs and choice of rice. couple taste the fresh corned beef brine in the soft patty. better den canned kine. was good. da patna had da veg fritatta and hash brown. I had a taste and thought was okay if u like dat kine. my bite had an undercooked piece of bell pepper but minah. thick hash brown with crispy outside.. soft inside. was also good. read more

Moke's is solid but did not "wow" our tastebuds or tummy enough to want to come back. Service was really friendly. Wait was 30 minutes for 12PM on Friday. Although place was not full by the time we sat, our food did take awhile to come out. Expected a little more food for the price points. Now onto the food - Avocado Salad - 3.5/5 - Big portion. They put salad dressing on for you. Nice touch adding brussels sprouts which added a fresh taste and texture. Avocado was plentiful. Blueberry Muffin - 3.5/5 - Fresh muffin that tasted above average and was standard size. Waitress recommended to get it grilled, which we did. It gave it a crispy edge which went well with melted butter. Lilikoi Pancakes - 3/5 - Great presentation. Taste was there but felt like it lacked overall flavor. It may be because they serve 2 thick pancakes with just lilikoi cream on the top first one. It would be great if they offered more sauce on the side or just doused the whole plate with it. Loko Moco - 3/5 - Classic loco moco ingredients that wanted to be fancy. Served on a plate with the egg, patty, and rice all the same circumference - covered by the gravy. Very fresh, with the standout flavor being the grilled patty. Taste of the gravy was lacking, but served well as it fused the egg, meat, and rice altogether. For the price point, I think more rice and 2 patties would've made us happier. A local loco moco mix plate lunch would have been more filling elsewhere. read more

Post hike brunch after doing an extended hike past the pillboxes. Decided to finally check this spot out in Kailua since heard the lilikoi pancakes were good. Wasnt too busy on a Saturday mid morning, found metered street parking nearby (glad I had some quarters). Friendly service, was seated right away. Decided on the 2 piece Lilikoi pancakes, and ordered the Moke Nui omelette and the Homemade Corned Beef Hash. Lilikoi pancakes are worth the hype and overall we were satisfied with what we ordered. Prices were on the high side but thats the price of paradise. Food was more than enough to share for 2 people, we ended up bringing a decent amount left home too. 5 stars. read more

Cute little spot in Kailua. We ordered the corned beef hash. The brisket sounded good although when I got it, I couldn't tell there was brisket in it. The hash brown was slightly underdone. We also ordered the Koolau omelette which was good. Service was really good. They don't have parking. You need to park in metered street parking. I heard people are warned against parking across the street. I would consider coming here again but would not order the corned beef hash. read more
