No Ka Oi

My friend took me here for my birthday breakfast. I was going to tease her I wanted to go to ihop instead, but I'm glad I didn't because this was delicious. Ample seating if you come early aa there's a front patio on the street, interior dining and an outside back patio too.A little pricey, but worth it. Fast friendly service and very enjoyable experience other than the fact people are allowed to bring dogs. One couple's dogs were very territorial and probably should have been left at home because it almost started a fight it was so aggressive. That's the only reason I lowered the stars. It made it very uncomfortable and for the safety of the other customers, the first time the dog acted up they should have been removed. Too dangerous.Otherwise, very nice experience with the other better trained dogs and the heat lamps were nice too.The food is ample and delicious. I don't know what else to say. No wonder it's my friend's favorite.

Adding a star to my updated review, because brunch at No Ka Oi was excellent today! They have generous portions, and food was cooked to perfection this morning. I ordered their egg florentine, which was delicious. I love the way they poach their eggs. Hubbie had had their corned beef hash, which was so good! Their corned beef is nice and chunky, with a right amount of crisp. My daughter had their seafood enchilada, which looked delicious as well. Today, we found out that there is a back patio you can sit at as well! It was nice and quiet, we enjoyed our brunch very much. Looking forward to going back and trying one of their many tempting Benedict choices.

Such a chill spot in a beautiful community. The staff was incredibly friendly and quick. We sat ourselves down in the back patio. The mochas were delicious (Tip: refills are on coffee and not on mochas)! The eggs were poached perfectly on both benedicts we ordered. Overall, amazing experience and would recommend anyone in the area stop by for a wonderful brunch service. 5 stars for a lovely weekday experience

Miss having a Mac Pancake in the states? How about something near the beach? The Mac Pancakes here hit the spot... add coconut syrup and I feel like I'm on the beaches of Waikiki watching the sunrise over looking Diamond Head.... only thing is they should be playing Hawaiian music instead of rock... to keep that local vibe going... of course it is Huntington Beach... hahahahaIt's OK... the corn beef hash and eggs brought me back to the islands...

Didn't come here thinking I was going to get anything close to Hawaiian food because despite the name, this is in no way shape or form anything close to Hawaiian food. It was the only place that wasn't super packed and had a table, the food was eh decent, service was cool at least our server was alright, the other ones there pretty much do nothing. The loco moco was a joke, the beef patty was good but the gravy? Was that really gravy? lol. Don't come here expecting alot at all it's called no ka oi, which in Hawaiian means "the best" lol, that's a joke, please stop using Hawaiian terms that even the owner probably doesn't know what it even means. The tables inside are dirty, not wiped down, won't come back again and if I had to leave a suggestion, don't come here either.

I'll give 4 stars here because my mac nut pancakes were quite delicious. We were not planning to eat here but the restaurant next door had a crazy long wait and this place had open tables and we were hungry so we ended up here. Service was slow (I noticed they had a hiring sign out so maybe that's why). Our orders were accurate. As I mentioned, mac nut pancakes were great. Breakfast potatoes were also delicious. My friend got some kind of Benedict and said it was great also. Overall, good food, no wait for a table. Good atmosphere. Service just kinda slow.

Went for a power walk and ended up here for food. Wasn't sure if I wanted breakfast or lunch until I saw the Ahi bowl. Our server said it was fabulous which changed up my friends order as well.Great back patio and our server was fantastic!Ahi poke bowl was yummy. I need that! The ahi tower looked good, too, if you need a lighter option. Great juice options so you can have champagne and guava, mango or cranberry juice.Great menu and lots of choices. Highly recommend!

Service, food and outside seating amazing! This is our first time here and from the start the servers were friendly and accommodating. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambiance. I wish I would've taken pictures of our breakfast but forgot. If you're hungry the serving size is big. I'd definitely recommend!

This place is very consistant. The baby Mia Tai and house wines are a fine bargain. I can. go in have a drink watch some sports and NOT Get some moron yelling in my ear which I cannot say any more for most places downtown. MUCH more chill than The Long Board, The HB brewery KIllarneys and the like. After all what do you really want a drink a seat a game not a screaming bunch of obliterated yahoos!. Oh the Tempura is still not to my liking but the Maki tacos are just bloody fine than you.

fantastic coffee--both are consistently excellent. Their baked cinnamon roll, even if they appear to be day-old, are still a great deal. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. It's consistently slow, inattentive, and at times downright unfriendly. If you have the patience to deal with the lackluster service, the drinks are well worth it.
