We got the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict and the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and Aloha French Toast. The food was ono, 100! What we didn't expect was for the portions to be so great. Being residents of Big Island we are thrilled to find "out spot" on Oahu. Coming back with more Ohana & Friends, everytime we ste Oahu. read more

My first time trying YogurStory! I know, I know, kind of sad this place has been around for a while. I've heard good things about them, but never actually had a chance to try them until recently. We came here for brunch, and ordered the eggs Benedict. One was the classic eggs Benedict with fried rice. The other was the smoked salmon eggs Benedict with hashbrowns. Food was very good. I was surprised at the quality of the egg Benedict. We had also ordered hot coffee and an iced coffee. Service was a bit slow. Iced coffee was brought out, but nobody brought out my hot coffee. Our food then arrived, but we weren't given any utensils in which to eat it and it took a while to flag down our waitress for us to get utensils as we stared hungrily at our food. Atmosphere is a casual diner type feel, but was clean. Note this place gets busy very quickly. They don't take reservations, but you can put yourself on a waitlist on Yelp which helps cut down on the time you actually have to wait at the restaurant. Food 5/5, service 3/5. read more

Highly rated restaurant close to our condo. Didn't realize they have a wait list you can join via Yelp. We joined wait list once we arrived and wait was about 20 minutes. Bit of a line folks waiting to get in. Very spacious table seating. Wide isles and mostly tables for 4. There are large picnic style tables around the side for large groups. Nice portion size of crab cakes but looked a little burnt. Tasty tho. Fairly hefty English muffin. Poach egg cooked to perfection. Crispy and tender tater tots were the star of the show! Asparagus was perfectly cooked but portion could be a bit more generous. Big slice of prime rib, requested medium rare but came slightly more done but not bad. Decent tenderness and flavor. Sauce a little salty but the mushrooms and rice tames the saltiness. Over easy eggs cooked perfectly. Espresso martini didn't impress. Tasted like vodka poured into coffee. Bloody Mary was good but not spectacular. Came with two olives and lemon wedge. Still tasty. Had a good meal overall. Given the very large portions they offer good value for the big eaters. Didn't try their pancakes which are highly praised by reviews. We ordered... Crab Cake Benedict Tater tots, asparagus, sauce on the side Espresso Martini Prime Rib Loco Moco Medium rare Bloody Mary I would come back given they serve you a lot of food which is important in my book read more

INCREDIBLE food, amazing service, and very casual vibes. I found Yogurstory on Tik Tok and was drawn by the Ube Pancakes, which did NOT disappoint. The staff was so kind and our food came quickly. It was a little bit of a wait and definitely busy, but for good reason! I fear this establishment is a new staple any time we find ourselves in Honolulu. read more

Everytime I go to Oahu, this is a must go - a staple if you will, of my Hawaii experience. Service is always impeccable, and there's always a line/wait time, so make sure to account for that! Food came out in reasonable time, and they had so much flavor! Be prepared for some Hawaiian sized portions as well! Ambiance was a classic diner feel with a modern Hawaiian twist. Highly recommend any of the bennys and the Ube pancakes :) read more

My family & I dined here for my birthday & had a great time. Make sure to add yourself to the Yelp Waitlist because there is usually a wait. Friendly customer service, great food & delicious mimosa options. Unfortunately, a few of our dishes were wrong so ensure you double check the receipt. The portions here are huge! Be prepared to take home leftovers. Ube Pancakes: What they are famous for & rightfully so. Delicious, fluffy, amazing ube flavor. Prime Rib Loco Moco: My hun loved this! So tender. House Special Fried Rice: Extra side of Portuguese Sausages. Tasty! We were obsessed with the PS we had to get more. read more

YogurStory - House Special Fried Rice, Prime Rib Loco Moco - Pancakes Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Years ago, I saw someone post on Facebook a photo of YogurStory's ube pancakes and was immediately intrigued by the hotcakes covered in a vibrantly deep purple sauce. Needless to say, when we made our way back to Oahu in September, 2023, I knew that I had to brunch here. That day was with my cousin, Michelle, and family on the morning of Tuesday, September 5, 2023. Contrary to what one might understandably assume from the eatery's name, YogurStory is no longer a simple yogurt shoppe. In fact, on the day of our visit, I didn't see any yogurt listed in the menu offerings. They have, though, become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors alike as one of Honolulu's hottest breakfast/brunch Asian bistros. Nestled in the heart of Honolulu, although the restaurant offers free parking in their on-site lot, spaces are limited and tend to fill up quickly, so be prepared to wait for something to free up or to opt for metered parking on surrounding streets. The venue's spacious interior welcomes guests to a brightly lit and clean space for dining. YogurStory's menu serves aloha fusion fare, blending Hawaiian flavours with Asian-inspired twists. Creative dishes are crafted to enchant the palate with delectable dishes as well as dazzle the eyes with artful presentations with vibrantly colourful touches. From the first glance to the last bite, offerings are a feast for every sense. Below are what we ordered: Eddy, Michelle and I started with indulgent caffeinated iced drinks from the espresso bar section of the menu; 2 taro lattes ($5.75 each), one regular and another with a milk alternative like oat or soy milk, and macadamia nut latte ($6.25). The beverages were delightful. prime rib skillet ($18.50) - Eddy ordered this hearty skillet of tater tots topped with prime rib bites, veggies, gravy and two over easy eggs. He appreciated the generous portions of meat and enjoyed that the crispy potatoes absorbed the buttery, garlicky juices and gravy. porkbelly oinker ($15.95) - Michelle went with this house specialty, topped with scrambled eggs. The dish had a nice balance of sweet and savoury notes and the chicharrones added another level of flavour and texture. veggie omelet ($14.50) - Unfortunately, DJ was unimpressed by this omelet with bell pepper, mushrooms, onion and zucchini. Lacking in alluring flavour he found the beaten egg concoction. prime rib veggie rice ($18.50) - Michelle and Eddy shared this medley of veggies with prime rib, rice and an over easy egg. Some of the chunks of meat were substantially fatty. ube pancake ($13.95) - Although listed as a single pancake, the serving is actually a generous stack of at least two or three, maybe even more. The fluffy Okinawan sweet potato pancakes, covered in that rich, beautiful purple sauce that captivated me, perfectly showcased the exotic taste of both ube and coconut. To be honest, I have never been fond of pancakes, but, yes, I went to YogurStory specifically for this breakfast item and it did not disappoint. In fact, I LOVED every single bite, so ono! These pancakes are a must try, especially for ube and/or coconut lovers. Truly a standout dish for its unique flavour and visual appeal, they are unlike any other pancakes. Service was attentive. knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the warm ambiance and overall dining experience. We will definitely be back - I need more of those ube pancakes!! read more

We have been here several times and the food usually hits. But the few times from January until now, it's slacking. It's so disappointing. I have been hoping to just think it's a fluke but it was not good today. We waited for about 20 minutes. Not the worst. Got seated and the waiter got to us in about 5. Not bad. There were busy. We immediately ordered. Got the ube stack pancakes, got the pork loco moco, onion rings and truffle Parmesan fries. Also got the croissant sandwich and the omelette. Every was cold. Barely warm, like I was sitting there for a long time. The onion rings were wet tasting and over all not good. The fries were perfect. The fried rice didn't have the Same tastes as last time. The loco moco was off too. Perfect over medium egg, but also Cold as well. The ube pancakes didn't taste as good as usual doing to be cold and feeling if as they sat for a long time and had the burnt grill taste on them. I know it was busy, this place is usually kicking, but we aren't sure if the wait is worth it and trying to find parking if the food is going to keep being like this. Food was presented pretty. But other than that it's not the same. read more

Me and one other friend came on a Saturday around 9am, added our name to the waitlist. I think we waited maybe about 15 minutes. Service was super friendly, despite having to wait a while for our food. Our server constantly reassured us that it would be out soon. We ordered the crab Benedict and ube pancakes to share. Everything was phenomenal! I love how crispy their tater tots were. And the ube sauce for the pancakes, so fire. The restaurant gave like a cute old school diner vibe. Would definitely come back whenever I visit again! read more

We ordered takeout from YogurSotry on a Saturday morning around 10 AM. When we arrived, there were a big line waiting outside...so glad for the takeout order and not to wait. Got our pancakes, a side of hash brown, a side of Portuguese sausage and went home. Each pancake order came with 3 pancakes: big pancakes that I was only able to finish half, it all came with two generous jars of Ube pancake sauce, sweet but not too sweet. We really enjoyed the Ube pancakes. It was soft, moist, and when you pour on the Ube sauce. It was thick and creamy sweet...really hit the spot. The two sides that we ordered, hashbrowns in Portuguese sausages were equally delicious. We will be back! Pay attention to your pick up order: we ordered 2 plates of Ube pancakes, and they only gave us one at first until we told them that one is missing. read more

Recently stopped by Yogurstory and had a great experience. We went on a weekday around 2pm and were one of the few diners, which made for a relaxed visit. Heads up, they stop taking orders at 2:30pm. Hawaiian Loco Moco (5/5): Huge portion with a patty that weighs close to a pound. Juicy, savory, and paired perfectly with over easy eggs and a rich house-made brown gravy with hints of red wine and garlic. Fried Rice Upgrade (3/5): Paid an extra $4 expecting the House Special fried rice with bacon, kalua pork, Portuguese sausage, and egg, but mine seemed to be missing most of those proteins. Still had a strong garlic flavor that I enjoyed, but didn't match expectations. Corned Beef Hash Benedict (5/5): One of the best I've had. Crispy, well-seasoned corned beef without being overly salty, paired with perfectly poached eggs, mozzarella, and hollandaise on a crisp English muffin. We went with the Tater Tots for our Starch Choice which were erfectly fried, not oily, and no frozen aftertaste. A great side. Overall, a great brunch spot with both quality and portion size. I'd probably stick with white rice for the loco moco next time, but everything else hit. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I ordered the simple breakfast which came with Portuguese sausage and spam with rice and eggs which was good and the portion is good. And a cup of coffee! My wife ordered the house special fried rice which was huge and tasty it was like garlic rice and it came with pork rinds. Restroom were clean and pretty large parking area but it does get full, after that they have meter street parking along the parking lot. They have a huge amount of items on the list need to go back and try. The most popular I notice customers consuming was Ube pancakes and prime rib loco moko which could feed 2! read more

Definitely recommend adding yourself on the waitlist through yelp before coming over no matter what day of the week. For a Sunday at 11:30, the estimated wait was 85 mins. Restaurant is very clean and big, so tables were very spaced apart. Heard a lot about their ube pancakes but still couldn't decide what to get for brunch so just ended up with both a sweet and savory item. Would recommend getting the ube sauce on the side for the pancakes so that if there are leftovers it won't be soggy! Plus you can choose how much to use. Pancakes came out hot and could taste the subtleness of ube. The pancake alone had no sweetness but with the sauce, it adds a layer of SWEET coconut ube. Personally I like my pancakes a little more dense. When I tried to separate the pancake slices, it fell apart :( I was surprised that the prime rib skillet had a good amount of meat! They were not dry and was even medium rare. The steak and veggies sat on top of a bed of tater tots so that absorbed all the sauce from the stir fried veggies and steak. The prime rib bites did lack a bit of salt and flavor Good portions for price though and service was attentive read more

Review is for Ube Pancakes only. Yes it's a must. Just order it to go and share with your party to get the instagram worthy photos and to try what they're famous for. Then get something else on the island to enjoy to get through your food list in a short amount of time. Just visiting? Don't waste your time waiting in line. Join the virtual waitlist asap. But keep track as you only have two minutes to get to the front desk with your whole party or you get crossed out. read more

Looking for a breakfast spot? Look no further! My girlfriend and I decided to take her parents to breakfast and we made a home run picking this place! Amazing! The parking lot is a small so when they're busy, it's busy. There's a tablet at the front. Sign in and wait. There are a lot of chairs outside. They called us in pretty quick. Then it only got better! The food is so good! I got the big breakfast. Definitely big boy certified! My girlfriend got the kimchi rice mountain thing. Like...wow! Her mom got the pork belly oinker. For sure, she won breakfast. Her dad had a normal breakfast place. Looked like a smaller version of mine. We also had pancakes and the ube pancakes. Amazing! You certainly get what you pay for. Totally worth it! We are having a family get together later this year. A couple things: 1) we are for sure coming back between now and then and 2) we are bringing more people with us!

YogurStory has been at their Keeaumoku location for a couple of years now, but I have only just visited. Parking can be a little tough to find because the restaurant gets busy! To avoid a wait, you can add your name to the waitlist via Yelp app. The restaurant is bright and spacious. Lots of good vibes with friends and families enjoying brunch and time together. Even though it was busy, our server was friendly, attentive, and never rushed us. I ordered the breakfast pancake combo that came with eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. Simple, but so delicious that I decided I needed to eat here more often! Open daily from 7am to 3:30pm, YogurStory is a great option! read more

It's been several years since I came to Yogurstory. First time at this location. Food was better than last time. Mostly a breakfast menu. We got the Hawaiian Loco Moco and the Prime Rib Loco Moco. Portions were huge. Prime rib was tender and decent tasting. The house made Hawaiian Loco Moco hamburger tasted ok but was slightly tough and patty was on the thinner side although was massive. I prefer thick, juicy and fluffy home made hamburgers so I was not impressed. Server was efficient but not friendly. No welcome or chit chat- all business like. Very noisy ambience compared to the old location maybe because it doesn't have the high ceiling. I'll try something else next time. read more

OMG yes! YogurStory is not just a tourist trap. It's actually a really good brunch spot! They did a great job accomodating a party of 14 (before the "rush" of course). Our waitress was so nice and patient with us, made the experience that much better. We tried their most popular items which was the Ube Pancakes drenched in Ube sauce. Super good, cannot recommend that dish enough. We also tried the Short Rib loco moco, so instead of a burger patty, it's short rib. It was so well worth it. OMG mouthwatering. It was so good. We upgraded to garlic rice of course and everything mixed so well together. Everything we tried at YogurStory was solid. Can't speak to pricing as I did not pay, but pretty sure it's worth every penny. Again, parking is limited as it shares the center with different businesses. There is parking in the back of the restaurant as well. Just come before the rush. Love that the restaurant offers a waitlist on Yelp. Go go go, you won't be disappointed! read more

Tried the corned beef hash eggs Benedict and it was interesting -- the corned beef hash came as a patty instead of the usual loose hash. It gave the dish a different texture and made it feel a little more structured. Overall, it was just okay for me, but I appreciated the unique take. It came with a side salad and your choice of hash browns, which was a nice addition and made it a solid portion. I'm glad I ordered takeout because this place usually has a long wait for dine-in.

Located at the site of the iconic Likelike Drive-In, it's easy to get to with free parking. We went early, 7:30am on a Saturday, to avoid the crowd and having to wait. The restaurant looks the same on the inside, very spacious and comfortable. Good place to meet and talk story. The food was good, not exceptional, but similar in taste and quality to other breakfast places. Their quantities seem larger than others. I had the kim chee fried rice which was okay. I would have preferred less kim chee but it still tasted good. The fried rice is in a mountain and covered with a sheet of scrambled eggs. Hot sauce is drizzled over it. I also had the potato/mac salad to complement the spiciness. Unfortunately, the salad was not my preference as it had a vinegar base. I prefer my salad without any sourness. The service was good, attentive and fast. It was not very crowded when we were there. Overall, I would go back since its convenient for me and there's free parking. I would however, try some of the other menu items. read more

YogurStory - Kim chee fried rice - Pancakes Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

oh it's been so long since I came here, friends landed just this morning and wanted to come here. Joined waitlist while driving here and sat right when we walked in. Our server Lyn was unenthusiastic about being there which kinda brings down the mood. Once she sat us, didn't come back with waters until 10 mins later, and didn't take orders for another 10 mins after that. Ordered an ice coffee with simple syrup on the side, she points at the maple syrup and said quote on quote "that's the only syrup we have here". I was so flabbergasted, flat out denied my request, does not put a single effort to go to the bar and maybe ask if there's simple syrup? I personally walked up to the bar and asked the bartender my self, which he was very nice and kind. He gave me a shot worth on Simple syrup like. That's all I asked for. Once the food came out, (ran by food runners, not the server), she did a "drive-by Check up" what we called it cause it was hilarious. She was walking by our table while asking us how's everything and did not even give me a chance to talk. what's the point of asking if you weren't gonna listen? Ridiculous SERVICE: 0/5 HORRIBLE SERVICE FOOD: 3/5 Decent food, takes a while to come out, and when it did, it was lukewarm/ room temp. I would like my gravy hot and steak will warm. Taste is okay, but the rice is really hard, like a little undercooked. AMBIANCE: 2/5 The server Lyn really brought down the mood and expectations but the bartender and food runners deserve better. I hope Management sees this review and Corrects what needs to be done to have a better experience for everyone (staff and guests) Parking is free but limited and tight so be careful.

10 out of 10 always recommend!! lol this has been mine, and my husband go to spot for years before they moved in like like. Ube pancakes 10 out of 10. Steak and eggs 10 out of 10. Cobb salad 10 out of 10. I literally will beg my husband to take me here for our late breakfast early lunch dates. Service for the most part is great. Sometimes service can be a little touchy here and there, but for the most part service is great. Love the seating and love the natural light that this restaurant gets. Definitely if you haven't tried it you should definitely try it. Another go to is the red velvet waffles. The prime rib loco moco. The kalbi plate. Also like to add in there, my sister when she comes from the big island this is definitely our go to spot for breakfast. read more

Had to take my daughter to school but was still early, so instead of sitting in the car staring at the clock, we went YogurStory for breakfast together. Solid decision. Menu for breakfast was loaded, but I saw Eggs Benedict and my brain said, "rajah." Came with a balsamic salad and two square hash browns cooked extra crispy. And not gonna lie -- the hash browns was the star of the whole plate. I usually like shredded style hash browns, but these crispy squares was ono and was thinking of ordering one side order. Now the Eggs Benedict... was just okay. Not hot, not warm, kinda cruising at room temp, and the hollandaise sauce wasn't really hitting. Not bad, just not great -- especially when the hash browns was setting the bar so high. If there was more hollandaise or if it was warmer it might have been better. My daughter did the last-second switch and went with the strawberry French toast instead of pancakes. Came loaded with strawberries, blueberries, apples, bananas, and strawberry sauce. She was stoked and couldn't even finish -- had to take some home. Overall, good vibes, awesome service, great hash browns, and happy daughter. The rest of the menu looked pretty good. I'd come back for sure, maybe skip the Benedict, or maybe give it a 2nd chance. We'll see read more

They have so many good options, it was hard to pick just one. Ended up ordering the Ube Pancake to go. The waffles was crispy. The two sauce it came was was flavorful and delicious. I'd say, I'm a fan! Can't wait to go back and try their Ube Pancakes! Decided against it this time because Pancakes to go didn't seem as appetizing. Will definitely have to wait till I have time for a sit down breakfast for that. Lines are long outside. I like how they individually packaged the sauces so it doesn't get soggy. This was my first trail run. Can't wait for the next. m read more

YogurStory - Ube Waffle - Pancakes Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Update from my previous review. It's a beautiful Sunday morning and instead of cooking at home, we dashed out of the house and drove to Yogurstory. The line was long but it's okayyy...we were only the 14th customers on the waitlist ;) We ordered Big Breakfast Combo with Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, White Rice and Toast. I love how crispy my bacon is but I'm a bit confused on my scrambled eggs. If you look at the other food we ordered, Pork Belly Oinker with Scrambled Eggs, that egg came out just how I ordered it but it came out a little different... but it's okayyy... To satisfy our savory buds, we also had Pork Belly Oinker with Scrambled Eggs. The meat is soft but it can be a little more softer as it didn't really melt in our mouth. The pork fat was a bit too difficult to chew...maybe let's have it cooked longer? To clean our palate from savory...we opted for the West Hollywood Waffles. This is YUMMMMMMMM!!! Don't forget to get one for you, the next time you visit Yogurstory. I love the Oreo with the chocolate combination. We also made sure to have the Ube Waffles. I can taste the coconut and I like the mochi waffle bites but I honestly can't taste any Ube! There's no Ube but definitely love the purple color! I think they should remake their Ube and consider adding actual Ube to call it Ube...just my personal opinion. Hmmm I'm giving them a 5 stars this time because of Lyn, our server. She is friendly, quick and superrr attentive to us and from what we observe as she serves other customers. Please make sure to tip her well, especially if you got her and she gave you an amazing service! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great evening! read more

This restaurant is located in one of the most iconic places on Keeaumoku St...the site of the old Like Like Drive Inn. The service was excellent, and you HAVE to try the Ube waffles or pancakes. Not too sweet, so it goes great with coffee or something more savory. The Omurice dish is not like the ones you see on the videos, but it is good nonetheless. We went first thing in the morning, so it was quiet and not too crowded. Great time to go if you can. read more

The ube aloha French toast was pretty good. I would say the bread of the French toast itself was great - eggy and fluffy in all the best ways. DEFINITELY put some of the salted butter on it to balance out the sweetness from everything else. The ube sauce is pretty sweet and comes on the side which is perfect for titrating for your desired sweetness. The berries themselves were a bit sour - maybe not in season. The other dishes at our table were good too - eggs and kalbi and bae eggs benedict. Service was just ok- our server was neither warm nor notable. Ambiance was not busy at all for a Tuesday late morning. Parking lot is a very small lot but we got lucky. read more

YogurStory - Ube Aloha French Toast - Pancakes Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Yogurstory is a popular spot and you can expect to wait a while if you don't join the waitlist ahead of time, but they do allow you to join the waitlist via Yelp! I came mid-morning on a holiday so it was pretty busy and what was supposed to be a 35-50 minute wait for a party of three turned into waiting 5-10 minutes because we joined the waitlist when we were en route. After my visit today, my biggest recommendation is to come when it's not as busy. Food is usually really good; I've tried several items over the years from their famous ube pancakes to their eggs benedicts and beverages. This visit, I ordered the loco moco and while the dish was ok overall, the rice was not fully cooked and the grains were still hard in the middle. My friends ordered the Oinker and Kalbi with kimchi fried rice and both were content with their meals. We did share the k-town chicken and waffle for the table and the sauce that came with it was delicious. The servers were nice and they were trying their best despite how busy they were. At one point I asked for a refill of my water and the server said they would be right back. They came back around 10 minutes later to see check up on us, and I asked again for a refill of water for myself and my friend. They came back after another 10 minutes with a cup full of water and ice, then proceeded to pour half of it into my cup and the other half into my friend's cup because they couldn't find a pitcher. I kind of wish they just gave us two cups of water instead. The restaurant got pretty loud but you can still hear other people in your party perfectly fine and it's a spacious restaurant so it doesn't feel crowded either. Parking can be rough; the lot is small and it's a high traffic area, but there's street parking around the block and you might be able to snag one of those if the lot is full. read more
