Forty Niner Restaurant

Customer service was amazing along with the food I got the ube waffles and I added fried chicken the waffles were thick and fluffy my mom got the corned beef hash that came with eggs and rice the rice was very fluffy and buttery 10/10 experience love the outside view small and local :)

Got the dirty egg cheeseburger deluxe and strawberry french toast and they were really ono! Good for a breakfast satisfying meal - staff were really friendly and you definitely get the vibe/history of the place being a mainstay in the community instantly- Miguel Morales Photography

Recently dined here for breakfast,Service was good, food came out not too long & everyone enjoyed what they got. Regular combo breakfast with sausage, fried rice, & egg, corn beef hash & eggs was bomb, & banana french toast, The french toast is more like banana pancake, Not regular french toast but still really good!! I really like how they cut & torch the banana like that. Unique!For dine in, you have the option of sitting inside or outside on the patio. I would prefer the patio so you get a good breeze & enjoy the scenery. They also have self serve free coffee inside. Give this place a try!

I was last here a decade ago, and as you can see from my last review, it was top-of-the-list for places to return in Honolulu for my honeymoon. The Forty Niner has much of the same character as before and the food is still fantastic. The clientele did appear younger and more touristy than last time, for what it's worth, but perhaps that was just the time of day.New to me were the ube waffles, which were fluffy and served with an ube syrup and dallop of cream. Definitely the star of the show. I shared a small portion of saimin (which was still pretty large), as salty as ever. My wife's vegetable omelette was similarly fantastic.Inside were some modifications for Covid, including barriers between the booths, and I believe a different layout in the center. We ordered through a window out front rather than through a server, and they brought the food out to the back, where all the picnic tables were filled. Time changes all things and all that, so I was not expecting the Forty Niner to be a fossil of what it had been in the past, or for it to continue to be what it had previously meant to me. At this stage of life, it brings me immense joy just to revisit this cherished place, hoping to one day share its great dishes with my own children, as my parents did with theirs.

I'm a big fan of breakfast food so I was excited to try this place. It didn't disappoint and would definitely come again. There's an outdoor seating area in the back and you'll need to order in the front. Calm dining area with music and shade. Service was fast and very friendly. The garlic chicken was well seasoned and very garlicky. Mac salad is more of noodle instead of macaroni. Ube waffles were also warm and fluffy with real ube pieces, whipped cream and ube sauce as topping.

We've driven past Forty Niner Restaurant countless times but finally stopped by to try it out. There's a small dirt parking lot behind the restaurant, and you go to the outside window at the front to order. Seating is available out back at covered picnic tables, or there are also some indoor tables (highchairs available) with AC! We decided to try the oriental chicken salad, fried saimin, and the fried chicken and waffles (with ube waffles)! Prices are reasonable with good portions. The food was brought to our table and delivered in takeout containers. The fried saimin was good but pretty standard. The salad was surprisingly delicious, brimming with yummy toppings and a flavorful dressing. The fried chicken and waffles were the star for me! The ube waffles were crispy and well-flavored, and the chicken was boneless and very tasty! We will be back next time we are in Aiea!

This has been on my list to try and I was blown away. They had good reviews so I've been curious and the food did not disappoint. It's no wonder they always have a long line outside. Service was excellent from the ladies taking our order and serving our food. They have you order and pay your food upfront and then they serve it to you afterwards. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We went at 9am on a Sunday and the line started to get long around 9:15ish. Get the macadamia nut pancakes, you won't regret it. It was so tasty and was surprised by the banana bits tucked in between the pancakes. I got da original loco moco and it was the best loco moco I've had and will continue to think about it until the next time I return. The taro french toast was also delicious and a must try. The chorizo hash was okay.

Ordered their lemon ricotta pancakes that comes with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Also ordered their corn beef hash with fried rice and 2 over easy eggs. This slog is comfort foods! Prices are not bad too!

Local hot spot to grab yummy breakfast or lunch. Right now they only offer outdoor seating or you can take it home. But it is a cute little spot to eat under a grant mango tree. Service was kind, food came out hot and fast.The corn beef hash was freshly made and so good, the awesome sauce was truly delicious. The special guava, sweet Hawaiian bread, French toast was so good and moist. Lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and fresh, I didn't really like the lemon extract flavor it had but the fresh fruit was really good. We will be going back for more.

Delicious breakfast & lunch! Best breakfast we had in the Island. Staff & owners so friendly
