After finishing a bit of work on an early Saturday, I decided to get some errands run and was…read morehungry for a meal. I was curious to see what was in the area and saw Jessica's. I checked out the menu and immediately got excited when I saw a prime rib loco moco! I used to go to Guieb Cafe in both Kalihi and Wahiawa to get this fix but now I have one in Kapolei! After ordering over the phone, I ran to Home Depot to pick up a few odds and ends and then picked up the meal. The food was delicious. My only thing I was not happy with was as choosing to get take out. Next time we are going to eat in person.

This review is for the new location in Kapolei next to Regal Theater…read more Service was great! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Nice spacious space, restaurant is clean, noticed that all condiments were wiped down and clean, which is one of my pet peeves, restroom was clean and stocked. They have breakfast all day, lunch and dinner. We had the breakfast and a lunch item. Hubby had the French Toast and the Cornbeef Hash Loco Moco. He enjoyed it. It was fresh cornbeef not the canned. He ordered it with brown rice but the rice was crunchy. Staff came by and offered a replacement, so he took the fried rice which he said was good. I had the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with fries. For me it was just ok, I did not care for the bun, it had the texture and feel of a hot dog bun, I prefer a cheesesteak sandwich on a sturdier Hoagie. But the taste was good and it came out nice and hot and fries crispy. They also have Filipino dishes on the menu and Italian dishes. The prices for the breakfast and Lunch items were reasonable, but the Pasta dishes were quite pricey, kind of discouraging when Kapolei already has a great Italian Restaurant down the road with more reasonable prices. Would come back for breakfast/brunch.

Had some family visiting and took them here for dinner. We were a group of 7, so I tried to call…read moreand make reservations. However, they told me they don't take reservations and to just walk in. Well, we got there and had to wait 58 minutes before we got seated. Pro tip: just have them put you down on the list. Don't listen about not taking reservations for large parties. I found out after that a group of 8 got reservations for 6:30 so I was quite unhappy about that. It didn't help that there was a table with 3 people who were there since 3pm (it was already 7:58 at this point) who were still occupying the tables and the staff couldn't make them leave. They eventually moved them to another smaller table, but they could have done that sooner, just saying. Not the restaurant's complete fault, people can be extremely inconsiderate but there maybe should be a system for dealing with these types of situations. All they had were empty bottles, they were not ordering anything. Anyway, we finally got seated, and as expected, the food didn't disappoint. We got the Tasty Chicken (always a must), boneless kalbi (super tender and flavorful), loco moco (one of the best on the island) and oxtail soup (theirs is pretty solid). We also got pumpkin crunch, strawberry crunch, and cream cheese brownie. Everything was amazing as usual and they all said it was the best food they had on-island during their trip. The food was worth the wait, but, that wait could've truly been avoided. It's not somewhere you take a first date unless you are bowling because it is super loud. It is located in an out of the way, not really scenic spot. Parking can be a bear. But it remains to be one of those tried and true "local" spots that never fail to please. *Rating is solely for the food and reliability of the excellent flavors and quality of the food

I'm pretty sure I was there when the Yelper Melanie C was there with I'm assuming her other half…read moreand their daughter. Melanie was waiting outside and sent her daughter and other half to pick up their drinks when finished. The little girl said thank you and the worker smiled at her. I overheard Melanie ask her daughter if the worker said "you're welcome" to which the daughter responded no. Melanie could be heard saying "some people are just awkward." Then I heard Melanie ask her other half "What's the name of this place?" I already knew she was going to write a negative review. Just a rude customer trying to find something to complain about. Service for me was good. The drinks did take a while to make, but the worker apologized for the wait and thanked me. To the yelper Melanie, learn some patience and have some grace.

Naks Cafe is definitely worth checking out if you're in the Pearl City area and craving a really…read moregood burger. They're located inside the Donquijote Food Court and have ample seating inside as well as outside. I went with the Wagyu burger, fries, and tossed salad, and all three were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were salty and crispy on the outside, and the tossed salad was light and the dressing paired perfectly with it. One thing to keep in mind: they make everything fresh to order, so the wait can be a little longer than your typical quick-service spot. I actually think the freshness is worth the extra time, but it's something to be aware of if you're in a hurry. Also tried the Apple Mint Mojito, which was delicious--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the burger. One tip: If you prefer your burger more well-done, definitely let them know when you order. The burger can come out on the rarer/juicier side, so communicate your preferred doneness upfront. Overall, a tasty meal with quality ingredients and a nice made-to-order feel. 5/5 stars and I'd definitely come back.

Very Hawai'i. Would definitely come back.

If you order takeout there's one menu online but if you dine in there's a happy hour menu from 3-6 plus bar menu. The catch if you dine in is that there's a 2 drink minimum per person at regular prices. All dishes came out piping hot (except ahi poke) and fresh . The happy hour dishes were wonderful, especially the manapuas! The spicy pork cheese manapua were great and a bit different. The chasui manapua were delicious. Garlic fries were extra crispy, lots of garlic but greasy. The poke fresh and lemon pepper salt wings crispy but juicy. So all in all a great option for happy hour goodness.

Location: Kitchen Deja Vu is located inside the Blue Tropix Bar & Grill, which just so happens to be right across the Chili's from Pearlridge Center. Parking: Plenty! You can park anywhere in the Pearlridge Center parking lot Food: We ordered 5 items 1) pan fried pork cheese buns: 10/10 - pillowy soft bread expertly soaks up all the juices from the pork filling, perfectly pan fried bottom adds a bit of crunchy texture, pork filling was seasoned well and there was a decent amount of cheese inside as well (it was giving pizza flavor vibes), supposedly "spicy" but it wasn't too bad at all so this would be good even for those with a low spice tolerance 2) pulehu style short ribs: 10/10 - incredible smoked and grilled flavor, cooked and seasoned to perfection! They're not stingy either, nice portion size and a hearty amount of meat on each short rib too 3) big shrimp potstickers: 11/10 - succulent pork & shrimp filling filled to the brim of wrapper! Very on brand because these buggahs was massive and sooo tasty! Classic potsticker taste and there's a whole shrimp in there too, paired with their shoyu vinegar (I think) sauce and wooo this one was winnnahz ‍ 4) charsui udon: 10/10 - nice & chewy udon noodles and absolutely loaded with charsui and veggies that were so wonderfully stir fried allowing them to soften just a little but remain crispy, adding another layer of texture to the dish and ensuring you get a nice little crunch in every bite! 5) kau yuk (caramelized pork belly): 10/10 - big chunks of sweet & savory pork belly, but not as sweet as the name would have you think. It's actually perfectly balanced, you can definitely taste some authentic asian spices going on in there, and the meat was nice and tender Service: 11/10 We ordered take out but you can absolutely dine in if you wanted to, plenty of booths and/or tables to choose from. But I did wanna mention that we were lucky enough to meet Charlie, the owner! Really nice guy, after we gave him our order, our server Kyle took such good care of us. Checked in on us multiple times & offered to get us some water while waiting for our food. Overall: 10/10 Food was delicious, the chefs obviously know what's good, hats off to them! First time trying this place out and it didn't disappoint and love that you can also order directly from your phone through all major food delivery apps or you can even text your order in, how convenient!

They were hot and so generous - I didn't think we'd finish, but did because they were so light and tasty. The kids shared a kids pizza and fried chicken and fries - a pretty good deal especially since the chicken is their specialty. I had the mix plate - which included the medium rare steak, fried fish, and fried chicken - a yummy assortment for $24. I was STUFFED and happy to get to try an assortment of their best dishes! My husband tried the smashed burger and fries - perfectly seasoned, went well with the bun, fresh tomato and lettuce, and without mayonnaise or special sauce as requested. We're looking forward to visiting for breakfast soon! Those dishes look really yummy, and reasonably priced, too!

However, one thing to note is there is no elevator from the round about/drop off area so you'll just want to walk around the building to get to restaurant. It's a short walk and nicely paved so it was fine for us! No reservations unless it's a party of 8 or more. Very casual but nicely updated restaurant! All the staff were super friendly and loved how we could watch the UH football game on their multiple TV screens! Menu has lots of options! We went for dinner so you could order off the lunch or dinner menu. Lots of drinks to select from and loved how they had a kids menu too! I ordered the salmon chazuke off the lunch menu and it was delicious! Husband for the rib eye and said it was good. Dessert was also very surprising that they had a handful of options! We really enjoyed the fried ice cream - definitely a dessert to share! Overall, we had a great experience!

Came here on a whim with some friends while our girls went shopping. The menu looked good with a…read morevariety of choices. Went in and sat ourselves. I like that we get to pick our table. They have tables that could easily sit 12 people (probably more with kids). They also have counter-height tables that seat about four, and of course, there's the bar. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Immediately after we sat, a worker brought us menus and showed us the QR code to order. At first we were taken aback but it turned out to be super efficient. Since we wanted to pay separately, it was easy since we simply had to open our own tabs. Plus, we didn't have to wait or flag down anyone if we wanted to order more food or drinks, just add it to the tab. We got the ahi dip, oxtail soup, smashburgers, lechon, honey chicken burger, onion rings, and fries. The chips were just a little stale and the lechon needed a bit more salt. The dip was good and the lechon was crispy. Onion rings for the burgers is an extra charge, but they give a lot! I was expecting seven onion rings but they gave at least 12. The food was good so much so that I want to go again and try more. Our 16oz Mililani Red was terrific. I mean, beer is what they're known for. It was $7.50. We also got samples of the slushies of the day: Liliko'i-Orange-Guava and White Peach Lemonade. Both were really good. Perfect slush consistency. LOG slushie had a good bit of tang from the liliko'i. The white peach one was creamy with a nice hint of peach. Definitely need to try other drinks next time we come.
