Lilikoi Lounge

Our latest and greatest breakfast/brunch joint on the west side. I've been here a couple times so far and it's an absolute treasure. I have been ordering the breakfast items, such as their Lilikoi pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage. My parents are absolutely raving about the shrimp burgers, which are clearly homemade with giant chunks of shrimp and are a great deal.Compliments: Service is excellent. The girls are on top of it, the kitchen is consistent, and the owner or manager is on site and visible.It's clean. The building is vintage 60s and it's definitely showing it's age in a few places, but they did a great job with cleaning and freshening the place up. The food is GREAT. Everything I have ordered has been fabulous. Parking is easy, even if the parking lot needs to be repaved. I would like to point out some missed opportunities that are not detriment to this place, but could be opportunities for growth:I love the Lilikoi pancakes. I really cannot understand why they are served with (slimy) corn syrup. The missed opportunity here is to serve them with real maple syrup or even Lilikoi syrup. But please, ditch the corn syrup slime. The music. The first time I was there, they were playing some country countdown thing on the television. It was a little loud and made conversation difficult. I know the acoustics in there are not the greatest, but I think they could play some nice background music, such as bossa nova or Hawaiian instrumental or classical guitar to add to the atmosphere. The view is spectacular, some soft, relaxing music would make breakfast or brunch even more enjoyable. Signage. There could definitely be some signage pointing patrons to the proper entrance off of Makaha Valley Road, and from the parking lot. If you've never been there before, it's probably a little difficult to find. The tables. The indoor tables are some sort of perforated/ slotted plastic. They're cute now, but they could get a little funky over the next year or two if food were to get stuck down in the cracks and crevices. A tablecloth would not be the worst idea. and tablecloths would be a nice opportunity to add additional color or a pattern or theme to the cute orange chairs. There are some really fun neon colored Hawaiian prints that are very retro that could make the place even cuter.A more defined hostess stand or entrance signage where it might say, "please wait to be seated" or " pick a spot" etc. you walk in the entryway and it's just not very well defined.Plants!!! Even fake plants would add some color and interest to the pillars in the corners or on the tables. Some nice, fake potted trees, some nice fake potted greenery strategically placed... It adds color and interest. Or real plants are also great.

Not mad, just disappointed. We have been wanting to come here as we live Lanterns but as an old school server, I know not to head to a new restaurant until they work out the kinks. I thought we had given it enough time but no. I'll explain the three stars: service is 4 stars, our actual server was amazing. A lady from New Zealand. She was attentive and had great customer service. However there was no hostess stand or sign saying seat yourself so as you walk in, first impression is uncomfortable like you're walking into someone's house uninvited. There is no obvious place to wait until being served so you just stand in the doorway. The food is 3 stars. It was priced surprisingly very well. Three of us got out of there with full bellies for $45 before tip. Two cups of coffee, two virgin bloody Mary's, ramen, pancakes with bacon and a loaded omelet. I had ordered a side of potatoes but when they came not only were the portions super small but it looked over cooked greasy and thrown in the plate. I felt bad but I had to let the server know I wouldn't be eating it. I should have taken a photo. The ramen was ok. I loved the pot it comes in. The pancakes and bacon were really too! Zero complaints. Very happy with the fluffiness, texture and taste. The omelet was closer to dennys than we'd like and the potatoes it came with were cold and tasteless as well. As for the dining experience, it's more cafeteria that restaurant with dirty carpet, lined up rectangular tables, dirty broken overhead fluorescent lighting, clutter everywhere, handprints and mystery smudges all over the windows so you can't even enjoy the view outside. We won't be back. Not mad because the price was aligned with the experience but disappointed in the Lanterns brand.

Da spot up the Valley. Service was on point - thank you to our server: Sasa. Had a few drinks and pupus to enjoy a Sunday afternoon. Good selection that goes with the prices. Located on a golf course, had ample seating outside to enjoy the breeze and view. Breakfast menu was . Definitely will check it out next time. Come down, check it out and enjoy the food, view, and people. Mahalo Lilikoi Lounge!

Great good, while the inside is less than fancy and nothing special in way of decor, we all loved our food. Absolutely delicious food and amazing service. I'm so glad we had a lovely local recommend this great place to us.

We had a beautiful service her name was Malia she was phenomenal she has excellent customer service experience she down to earth and really a go getter she was very friendly. The food was off the hook there no words to describe the view breathtaking

Call elegant down home attitudes and just a good comfortable place to go hang out with girl and grab a drink

Had brunch/lunch for the first time. Ordered the kimchi fried rice w/spam and they were kind enough to replace the scrambled eggs w/sunny side up eggs. The service was very good and they were attentive to our needs. We got to sit outside and enjoy the breeze. It wasn't too busy. And the fact that their menu times overlapped made for a wide selection of food. Didn't get a chance to try their drinks since it was a work lunch and we had to return to the office...maybe a goal for the next visit.
