We used to go here more often, but it's been a few years and I'm glad we made time to visit again. Prices are not too bad and the we got lucky with parking so it was nice. The service was great and the portions were filling. It doesn't have a whole lot of seating so there might be waits, but the food and welcoming service are worth it
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great service and the food was good, happy we found this gem definitely will recommend to others.
Small, hole- in-the-wall , mom and pop place that has some indoor and outdoor seating. Looks like a local spot and those are my favorite. Got the rib eye loco Moke and it was excellent. Also had the veggie and has brown omelet so together the dishes balanced perfectly. We cleaned our plates. Service was quick and pricing was reasonable, approx $20-$25 a person. Would recommend
Beautiful experience! We came in with a big party of 13 and got seated with Crystal (our waitress). The food was phenomenal, but Crystal definitely made our experience worth it all. Her sparkling personality mixed with their cinnamon filled French toast will be an everlasting memory for my family and I!
I stopped by for breakfast with my group before getting started with our day and this turned out to be a great start! The french toast was delicious. I'm not usually a sweets person in the morning, but this french toast blew me away. The loco moco was pretty good as well, and I really liked the gravy.
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.
Got the lilikoi pancakes and monte cristo! Good breakfast spot to come with friends and family - portions are pretty big and staff were really friendly - Miguel Morales Photography

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

best pancakes and customer service ever! The sausage, coffee and eggs are always done right ! My wife loves the hash and when we get hungry we have the loco moco! just delicious! read more
This is a cute local place to grab breakfast. We tried: Loco moke Loco moco Mokapu Home style breakfast- fried rice with Portuguese sausage and scrambled eggs Everything was delicious and the portion is sizable. The staff was very nice as well which is always appreciated. Mahalo! You can parking right in front or street parking. 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

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

The staff was nice. The food was just ok. I got the French toast with bananas and it was your typical friend toast. My friend got the corned beef hash and said the same. Nothing was bad just nothing to write home about. If you are in the area and looking for brunch this would fill you up, but i wouldn't drive out of my way to come back. The bathroom is also located outside. read more

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
Great place for brunch Worth the wait Food -nice menu We love the lilikoi pancakes and the eggs benedict made with Kailua pork instead of Canadian bacon Coffee is very good Service -Excellent -friendly, efficient Facility -tables inside and outside Ask for the key for restrooms Location -great location In central Kailua read more

The best loco moco I've ever had. The rib eye was perfectly cooked and the gravy was delicious. The lilikoi pancakes were great. Fluffy and the lilikoi sauce was not too sweet and has sour taste but together it was perfect. Will definitely come back to try other food. read more

So glad we checked this spot out! The service is so friendly and welcoming, and the food was some of the best we had on or off island. The lilikoi pancakes are incredibly fluffy and smothered in a creamy and rich passionfruit sauce. The pancakes themselves melt-in-your-mouth! We also ordered the Portuguese sausage with eggs and hash browns- perfectly done! Great vibes and free coffee refills, a very cute spot I would visit again. 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

this is a super fun stop on the way to the beach! We had to wait a while before we were seated as seating is limited. once we got our food, i was initially intimidated by how intense the pancakes looked, but the pancakes were surprisingly soft and light with a delicious topping! the loco moco was also so umami and delish~ overall, such a great place to get brunch if you are in the area! read more
