Hukilau Cafe

Family owned Hawaiian restaurant in north shore that served good loco moco! Years ago when I came here, as I walked inside the restaurant to place an order to-go, I happened to look around the place and I noticed this man sitting there w someone eating his meal and first impression was like "damn, that guy is hot!". When I got done ordering and walked out the restaurant, my cousin who was waiting for us outside was like, "did u see Kala there?!!!" With her eyes wide open lol I'm like, "who's Kala?!" She was like, "omg it's the famous surfer!!!". I'm like danggg why didn't u warn me? I wish I could've said hi or take a picture w him!!!! Lol I'm like, ya he's cute!!!

I really wanted to like this place because of all the great reviews, but honestly, it just didn't hit for me. I got the sausage plate with rice and eggs, and it was pretty underwhelming. The sausage came in four small pieces--probably about 3 to 4 inches long if it hadn't been cut--with just white rice and eggs. Maybe I missed something, but it just wasn't what I was expecting.Also, there's no seating area, which was kind of a bummer. I was hoping for better, but hey, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing!

Truly a local gem in Kuhuku! In an unassuming location with all of the flavors that taste of home cooked food.[Location]You'll have to find street parking nearby! Please be considerate of those that live in the neighborhood. I think they usually have inside seating but they're currently under renovation.[Food]I ordered one of the local breakfast options. The fried rice was shoyu-forward. The eggs perfectly cooked. And they give plenty pork links (breakfast type sausage). The food was well-made! The type of food all locals love. Prices are fair![Service]Every single soul was friendly and kind. The staff seem to know everyone in the neighborhood. Looks like they got plenty of regulars and I can see why.Give this place some love!

The last time I was here was before Covid. They no longer have dine in and do everything take-out. To me the quality has gone down. I order the fried rice with eggs and bacon and the fried rice was just ok. The eggs and bacon with it all for $14+ was a bit overpriced for what you can get in town. You can get a better breakfast and a better deal from the Bald Guy about a mile and half up the highway.

This was a fun place with good food at great prices. When we were there, there was only window service available. Street Parking was limited which works for getting your food to go.

Hukilau Cafe is located in a residential area on the North Shore of Oahu. Good Hawaiian eats for Breakfast & Brunch, as the Cafe hours are from 7am-1130am... As seen in the previous reviews, It's To Go Orders Only! If driving, look for limited neighborhood street parking nearby. You know you're there when you find a line outside, but goes fairly quick. You wait in line, order at the walk up window, pay, & wait for your food... Glad for some shade while waiting for the order to be called. Food was packaged neatly w/ napkins & utensils... It was way too Hot to eat in the car. Luckily our hotel is just 5 minutes away. Portions are huge! Each plate was easily shared with 2 people. My son did not finish his Loco Moco, he definitely had leftovers. Good to know they have a mini option available for the Loco Moco. It was good, while it's still hot. So if you're starving, this is very generous with rice & gravy :)The lady informed us at the beginning, that they ran out of grilled potatoes... We ordered the Hungry Hawaiian. It came with 3 eggs, a choice of 2 meats, a choice of rice or toast & came with pancakes. Pretty basic but filling. Eggs were scrambled, spam & bacon was a good size & salty. We got 2 Hungry Hawaiian plates, which was enough for a couple to share. I also ordered an extra plate of Macadamia Pancakes, Bec why not?! They gave 2 big fluffy pancakes. It was perfect for everyone to have a taste (there was 5 of us). I enjoyed it with the pieces of Macadamia nuts in the pancake... Next time I'll try the Coconut Pancakes. When I'm back to visit in Oahu, I would definitely come back to Hukilau Cafe, order different items & come early before they run out of food. Love the big portions & can't beat the price :D

Take out only but well worth the drive and wait. - banana pancakes are soft and fully- the local fried rice was cooked to perfection- corn beef hash had the perfect crisp exterior and fluffy interior The staff is friendly and parking available all around the building.

Menu Food was so good! I got the supreme omelette three days in a row! We love going here when we come to Hawaii! Order over the phone and you can get your food right when you pull up!

A hidden gem if you're around Laie! It's nestled in a quiet neighborhood but it's worth a trip if you want a delicious breakfast with fast service

Well my expectation was super high and ordering loco moco tastes terrible. Beef patty has no flavor. Forced myself to eat one of the patty because i paid. Honestly, it is overpriced i would recommend to go to McDonalds. At least McDonald's has soda
