Prime Rib Loco Moco
Aneida R.

Let me start with the chocolate hazelnut martini...it's is the BEST $8.50 I've ever spent in my life. The barista took her time and drew a beautiful hibiscus flower with the chocolate syrup! Such attention to detail really made the drink and service feel personable and special. The ube waffle is the best ube anything I've ever experienced. I'm a big ube sweet potato fan so I'm always looking for ube inspired items and it's a let down. Not here! They captured the flavor perfectly!!! Yogur is Yo'grrrreat'! Small parking lot on site and street metered parking also available.

Crabcake eggs benedict

This is the first time back to YogurStory since they moved into the old Likelike Drive-in. I know, I'm slow. I should've been back earlier. First of all, their menu is huge! You're going to find something you'll like AND it's a great place to bring your picky eaters. Next, they just started an automated ordering system using a tablet at each table (great for introverts). Don't be intimidated by the technology, there's a button to press for personal service! The staff is very friendly and helpful! The restaurant is big and spacious but it does get very crowded. We were lucky to get seated right away on a Saturday but we were there before 8am. The crabcake benedict was great. The egg was perfectly poached. There's nothing more insulting to an eggs benedict than a hard egg yolk. The crabcake was huge and tasty. Winner! I did wish there was more hollandaise sauce. But, I'll live. I would definitely go back, but if there was a long wait... I dunno...

Sweet, Savory, and Reliably Good When you're looking for a brunch spot with an equal assortment of sweet AND savory options, YogurStory is a great place to go. They are popular, so expect a wait. You can join their waitlist through the Yelp link right on this page. You'll get a text and can track your place in line. Depending on how far away you are, it's smart to sign in before heading over so you can shorten your wait once you arrive. The food is reliably good. No major showstoppers, but you'll leave satisfied, and the food usually comes out pretty quickly. The short rib loco moco, kim chee fried rice, and any of their waffles are sure winners. My only gripe is the parking. The lot isn't really big enough for the size of the restaurant, and the stalls are super tight. Come hungry, join the waitlist early, and prepare to suck it in when you open your car door.

Prime Rib Loco Moco

We got here at 2:25 PM, five minutes before their kitchen closed for a short break, and we had to make some speedy decisions. We initially decided to split an entree since we were going to eat an early dinner in a few hours. However, we settled on ordering one sweet and one savory dish to share. UBE PANCAKES - 16.50 The ube pancakes are YogurStory's iconic specialty, with a velvety, deep-purple ube coconut sauce completely covering the Okinawan sweet potato pancakes, flowing abundantly on the plate. We almost didn't order these because I thought they were going to be too sweet and probably just an Instagram gimmick, but my friend insisted since it's what they're known for. These were incredible and definitely not too sweet. I could not get enough of that ube coconut sauce. I made sure each bite of pancake I had was completely smothered with it. The pancakes were also soft, with a light earthy sweetness from the sweet potatoes. Amazing sweet option, and we'd highly recommend it. PRIME RIB LOCO MOCO - 26.95 We decided to splurge a bit more for the prime rib option, and it was completely worth it. I tried a bit of the gravy, and it had this charred flavor from the prime rib that surprised me. It was incredibly savory! The prime rib was thick and juicy, grilled to medium rare just as we had asked. The platter was huge, and we quietly devoured the whole thing, except for some rice. I'd 100% order this again. Arguably, this was my favorite meal while I was in Hawaii. Both options we ordered couldn't have been more different from each other, yet they were both incredible. They were the best pancakes and best loco moco I've eaten, and I genuinely cannot tell you which one I liked more. Remember how I said we were going to eat an early dinner after YogurStory? Nope. YogurStory was our last meal in Hawaii because we were incredibly stuffed afterward. We had zero regrets.

Ube Pancakes
Kaitlyn P.

There's a reason why the ube pancakes here are so popular. The staff was super kind, but it does get really packed, so I'd highkey recommend getting on the waitlist ahead of time. The ube pancakes were incredibly soft and fluffy. I'm usually not a fan of ube, but these pancakes completely changed the game for me. They had the perfect amount of sweetness without being too much. Another star of the show was the Steak Fried Rice. The steak was so tender and everything came together really well. I'd probably skip the Braised Kalbi Benedict though. It was nothing special compared to the other dishes, and the kalbi was pretty fatty and gummy. Overall, definitely come for the ube pancakes and Steak Fried Rice!

Honestly I have not been to this place since they moved and was resisting to come until today... the food was excellent! Large portion and clean, delicious, not overly salty or oily. The services were prompt and foods came quickly. Nothing to complain about and will definitely return.

Darren Y.

Been a while since I've been here and my meal wasn't as good. Same super long wait - 30min for 2 at 1030a on a weekday. Lechon Benedict was not good. Lechon super fatty and gooey. Breakfast croissant was nothing special. Was hoping to upgrade to potato Mac but wasn't allowed. Got greasy onion rings instead. Maybe their staple ube pancake and mocos are still good and worth the glucose and cholesterol boost?

Menu as of 9/26
Lou C.

Came here on our last day in HI, for breakfast and the place was packed. I don't know if the parking situation is bad or good because 2 family cars where able to park fairly easy but I don't know if we got lucky. Everything I ate was good but nothing stood out for me. They have a tablet at your table so you can order your food from it. the hostess was friendly and the food runners brought out everything fast.

Ube Pancakes
Jenna L.

Very tasty brunch! I come here whenever I have friends visiting Oahu for the Ube Pancakes. They have waffles, pancakes, and French toast! The fried rice is also pretty tasty; it comes with the pork belly oinker (but don't expect the pork belly to be crispy). House potatoes are a must!!!!! I like to dip in the ube sauce for a savory/sweet combo. The wait can get long, but luckily you can join the Yelp waitlist online!

Ube Pancakes Kalua Pig Benedict
Maribel H.

Got the taro pancakes and braised kalbi eggs Benedict with tater tots. Everything was yummy! The wait to be seated was pretty long, but understandable since this place is clearly in high demand. The eggs themselves were a little watery, which was a slight letdown, but the taro pancakes were definitely the highlight for me! SO yummy and easily my favorite part of the meal. The tater tots were perfection. Definitely a must try!

Taro matcha latte
Jasmine I.

The new ordering screens have made things so much easier and faster! Food was delicious as always. Came out pretty quickly for a busy Saturday. The waitlist took about 45 min but it's so helpful!

Taro matcha latte
Lilian N.

The ube pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet but the sauce for me on top is what really made it unique. It was an ube coconut sauce that was delicious! I absolutely loved my taro matcha latte, and while it was fantastic, I think the taro really made it unique so if I come back, I'd love to try the taro latte straight up! I shared a kalua pig loco moco with my brother and I found it to be generously filled with meat. I did wish it came with some type of vegetables side dish but who are we kidding, that's not part of the traditional food! The other party members enjoyed a huge dish of yogurt with plentiful of fruits on top. And also a kalbi egg plate where the kalbi was truly comparable to a traditional Korean dish. Overall we loved the vibe of this place and it had great service. I loved that there were a lot of locals and it felt very Hawaiian!

ramil c.

Came in for a late brunch on Sunday. If you have Yelp you can join the waitlist early as there is a 70-90 minute wait time and last seating is 1430. Parking is very very limited but you can park across the street mall parking garage. The vibe is a bit loud as it is very kid friendly and everyone seems to be here for the Uber Pancake. Ordered: Kalbi & Kimchi Fried Rice: This was ok but not worth coming here for. We just wanted to try it out. The steak was dry and the rice was just colored and nothing in the taste or resembling kimchi. Skip this one as there are way better things to try. BAE: It is good but very fatty. A must try as pork lectin on a muffin with eggs on top. UBE Pancake: Yes yes yes! The best pancake to have anywhere. Rich and buttery and the ube sauce instead of syrup is fire. A must try for anyone. Ube Aloha French Toast: Nothing to die for but it was good as instead of syrup, it is served with the famous UBE Sauce! Come and try it all out as we never leave Hawaii without going here. Highly recommended!

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. And the beach vibe was definitely chill and laid back. 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!

Noticeably smaller. There was still plenty enough to split between 3 people, but when I compared our portion to several tables around us, felt like we were gypped. Cons- this place can get really busy depending on when you go. It could also be far, depending on where you are staying too.

We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor.

We also ordered the pastrami eggs Benedict with sides of fried rice and roasted potatoes. We both left completely full and not at all disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly, and there's plenty of seating. It does get busy (there's usually a waitlist because it's popular), but in all our visits the wait has never been more than 10-15 minutes. Highly recommend for a solid, satisfying brunch

The reason that people are having to literally fight off the birds from taking and eating their food is because the employees are FEEDING THE BIRDS. I watched an employee take the bread from the restaurant and feed the birds right in a corner of the restaurant. Then dozens of birds fly over and they don't leave. This is the second time I been here. The first time a bird flew into my face to grab bread out of my hand and then flew onto our table and in the bread basket to take our food. I wasn't upset about it and didn't say anything because I said whatever it happens. Now the second time after I saw and employee feeding the birds now I'm frustrated. You now feed the birds and they will never leave, and now they feel comfortable to fly into peoples plates and faces to take food from them. The employees created the problem and only make it worse now. Sit inside as much as possible. No wonder that place has a bird problem but every other outdoor restaurant does not.
