Food: Mmmm mmmm good!!! I'm definitely hitting Moke's when I'm back in Hawaii! The popular pancakes you see online were just amazing, the sauce was delicious! Service: Excellent! They always made sure we had coffee in our mugs! Everyone was extremely friendly! The whole family loved their food! Ambiance: was chill, and cozy!

Our server was very attentive and the coffee was good. My companions' breakfasts were fine--"Everyday Breakfast" with eggs, bacon and hash browns. I ordered the corned beef hash breakfast with hash browns. The eggs were perfectly cooked but the hash was awful. A pink blob on the plate, barely warm and the consistency of mashed potatoes--did they put it through a blender? Nothing like the ono cbh at Sweet E's or Lulu's. Hot sauce came in a bottle but ketchup came in packets--really?We had to ask for jam for toast. Sorry this wasn't more positive.

One of my go-to breakfast spots! Moke's never disappoints and is always worth the line if there ever is one. I always get the Lilikoi Pancakes (either by itself or with the Sunrise Special) but their Loco Loco and French Toast are also so bomb! There's quite a few tables inside, and a few tables outside. The service is great and quick, and there's lots of shared parking around Kaimuki

TLDR:Coworker highly recommended their lilikoi pancakes and it was one of the best recommendations I got all trip. Truly top 3 pancakes I've ever had in my life I think. Loco moco was also solid, and the service was really great. Convenient paid parking lot for this whole complex of shops and buildings. I will dream of these pancakes for a little while.------FOOD:1. [MUST TRY] Lilikoi pancakes (5/5) - Soft, fluffy, and bathed in an airy lilikoi sauce that wasn't too sweet but added to much to these pancakes. There's so much sauce that even though we got a stack of two (huge) pancakes, there was plenty of sauce to compensate for the bottom layer of pancakes. 2. Loco Moco (4.5/5): Our first loco moco of the trip and a fantastic start! Only feedback would be that the rice could have been a little softer and there was probably a bit too much rice relative to the rest of the ingredients, but overall I thought it was really solid.------SERVICE:* The two guys working when we came in were a delight. Super friendly, always seemed to read our minds in terms of what we needed (extra plates, extra utensils, napkins, etc). They were happy to give tips on things to do nearby and were just great to meet on our trip. Thank you both!------ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE:* Walk up some stairs outdoors to get to the second floor of the complex where Moke's is located* Inside has quite a few tables that can be moved and rearranged to accommodate variously sized groups.* Outside there is a huge paid parking lot. Made parking easy and it's only $0.75/hour or so

Decided to come here for breakfast before going to a hike at manoa falls. I was searching for a good loco moco before leaving Honolulu and after debating between Moke's, rainbow drive in, and a couple other places, I decided on Mokes! There's a large paid parking lot where you can park in although I ended up doing street parking. Came at 830am on a Saturday and there was no wait yet, seems like it gets more packed around 10-11am. The restaurant itself feels homey and they have both indoor and outdoor seating available. If you want to try a little bit of everything in loco moco form, get the big Kat which gives you the steak, corn hash, and Portuguese sausage on your rice! A meat lovers dreamFood:5/5: Loco moke with garlic rice - having a ribeye instead of hamburger patty is a genius idea and also opted for garlic rice instead of standard rice which is very aromatic and smells and tastes delicious! The dish is a little salty with the gravy but you're not ordering loco moco to save on sodium. 4/5: lilikoi pancakes - the pancakes are light and fluffy and the lilikoi sauce does taste very good. Perfect amount of sweetness and tartness. Great place for breakfast and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

After an early start to the day, the husband and I stopped by Moke's for brunch. Upon arrival, we waited about 10 minutes or so to be seated. After looking over their menu, we decided on the Liliko'i Pancakes and the Loco Moco, both of which were great. The Liliko'i pancakes were nice with a good balance of sweet and tangy, and the portion size was also fulfilling. The Loco Moco was also tasty and the perfect savory to the sweet pancakes. All in all, food and vibes were solid. Looking forward to returning to try other items from their menu.

I ordered the Home-Style Breakfast for $15.95, which comes with a choice of 1 meat (options include bacon, Portuguese sausage, sausage links, or house-cut ham), 2 eggs, rice or hash browns, and homemade toast (choices of Wheat, White, or Dark Rye).I chose the Portuguese sausage, and it came with 4 FAT, juicy pieces--I couldn't even finish them all. For the side, I went with the hash browns. They weren't the best I've had; I would've liked more crunch and crispiness, but they did give a very generous portion. For the toast, I picked the homemade Dark Rye, which was a small 1 1/2-piece serving, but it added nice variety to the plate. The toast was warm, buttery, and definitely tasted homemade.The plate didn't look like much, but it was surprisingly filling. Granted, I'm not that big of an eater, but I'd come back again to try some of their other dishes.The service was friendly, and there's a paid parking lot nearby. I went in at around 9 a.m. for breakfast. I didn't have to wait for a table, but it was already pretty crowded inside by then. They do have some benches and outdoor seating where you can chill while waiting for a table.

This is a cut little local cafe with aloha friendly staff. Sounds of laughter greeted me as I walked up the tall steps to the cafe. There is a patio outside and indoor dining room as well. Seating is limited so expect a wait during peak hours. I sat on the patio to enjoy the morning breeze. Chef Moke Warren started this small chain of local restaurants in 2004. Warren studied culinary arts locally at KCC. The cafe on 11th Street opened in 2018. The menu offers a mix of Hawaiian local favorites for breakfast. I ordered a Loco Moco. The portions are large. The gravy and eggs were so good and creamy. The beef patty is large atop all that wonderful rice. I couldn't finish it all! So good. Service was good. Water came immediately without asking. Food came out quickly and my sever checked on me several times. Portions are large and easily sharable. By the time I left there was a line to get in. There is an inexpensive public parking lot just south of the building. I did not see an elevator, that would make the restaurant handicapped accessible (but maybe they have one somewhere). Local, authentic and delicious.

Great local and convenient breakfast spot in Kaimuki! There is a big parking lot right outside of Moke's but the restaurant itself is not huge. There are a few tables so reservations might be a good idea, or else there will likely be a wait. The service is efficient but friendly. There are a variety of menu items but we chose the lilikoi pancakes and the li hing mango pancakes. These were both filling and sweet! We both were unable to finish our stack of 2 pancakes so we took the rest home. Next time, we hope to try some of the savory items!
