Waipahu Cafe

This establishment has a diner type ambiance with fast and friendly service. Selection of dishes and food ordered was awsome! Got a few plate to take home for later. Definitely going back to try some ther things.

Takeout Breakfast from Waipahu, O'ahu, Hawaii...I needed some fuel to pep myself up. I searched my Yelp app and found Waipahu Cafe. It's the end unit of the strip mall part of Waipahu Shopping Plaza. Korea Foody is to the left of Waipahu Cafe. There's lots of free shared parking. Inside, the cozy, old-school diner has about four counter seats and four booths. Service is efficient and frank. Example: I was asked what kind of rice I wanted. I answered, "Brown."The woman said that brown rice wasn't available. I asked what kind they had.I didn't understand her reply, but I answered, "White rice".Maybe she offered fried rice and was trying to upsell? I'm not sure.I waited a bit and glanced at the open kitchen. There was a guy and a gal working the grill - great teamwork!I had ordered the Salmon plate. It was alright. I've had better, but I appreciated the presentation - the Salmon was topped with Sautéed onions and some chopped green onion. There was a half wedge of lemon in a small container. The rice was okay, and the macaroni salad had tiny bits of chopped onion and carrot. It was on the liquidy side.This wasn't "cheap eats", but it was convenient and satisfying. I'd try some other menu items next time... like Fried Rice Omelet or Miso Butterfish.

Foods: fair price , fried rice omelette with corned beef is 3-4 starsService : 4-5 stars, very attentive and friendly owner. Ambience:3 stars

Simple cafe with a warm ambience. 6-7 booths & 5-6 bar stools for the counter. Seat yourself. Greeted quickly with water & coffee. Super friendly & happy staff. The Kim Chee ham omelet was delicious!! Juicy without being runny. Full of flavor! Denver omelet was full too!

Fantastic service! The food is okay. The pricing is a little high, but nowadays it's all high every where! Ordered eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and pancakes. Nothing stood out but none of it was bad.Service again was top notch! Super friendly!

Been here before pre-pandemic so it's been awhile. Since I was off on Friday State Holiday decided to go breakfast w/my sister and brother-in-law. I ordered their eggs, rice and Vienna sausages and they gave the whole can of Vienna lol! Most places give only 4-6 pieces. My brother in law ordered their eggs with fried rice and bacon . He said it was good . Their fried rice supposed to be their specialty especially the fried rice omelette.My sister ordered just a fried egg and bacon sandwich she said it was ok but would have been a lot better if it was on plain bread instead of toasting the bread . She also ordered a side of pancakes and it was little burnt and it was in the heavy side . Meaning pancakes should be light and fluffy not thick of pancakes mix .Normally they also give a complementary bowl Kim Chee but I guess they forgot Overall friendly service also good prices . They also sell plate lunches . Maybe next time I'll go for lunch and try their lunch menu .Support local and keep Maui in our hearts

Had to check out this place since many Yelpers recommended it. Great hole in the wall place.I ordered the Banana Hotcake Breakfast Special where mine included 2 pcs pancakes, 2 eggs over easy and 3 pieces of Portuguese sausage. No fancy frills here. The pancakes tasted good but were a bit thin not fluffy, the Portuguese sausage tasted good but the slices were thin and the eggs over easy were cooked perfectly. Service was great. I only ordered takeout so it's based on that. I was greeted coming in and multiple employees said "Thank You!" when leaving. The person taking my order appear to be the owner. She was patient while she took my order. Food came out without waiting long. Place is old school decor but amazingly clean and booth seating area was in very good condition. There are 6 booths and a few counter seats. Each booth had the menu conveniently posted on the wall and loads of condiments (soy sauce, salt & pepper, ketchup & mustard, tabasco, sugar & artificial sweeteners), straws, and a even hand sanitizer pump and container of wipes were on each table. I liked the old fashioned atmosphere in contrast to the cold urban metallic ambiance. However, no windows in this place and the main aisle feels a bit tight. There's a bunch of artificial flower plants all over this place. Mine was decent no frills meal for $12. If you want orchids on your pancakes, an ocean view and a big bill, go elsewhere. I'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu. Food 4 stars, service 5 stars, value 5 stars rounded average to 5 stars.

Korean family owned and operated. They're open six days a week and they have good food. Do not order certain things because when you try and specialize in many different dishes the quality tends to go down. The short order stuff is good like the breakfast and local foods. I wouldn't order the Korean food though. I would eat Korean food at a Korean restaurant not a place that serves local and breakfast dishes as well.

Food is SO tasty I love the food here. One of my top favorites on island. Service is fast and workers and super nice and friendly. Restaurant is a little cramped but it's okay, you definitely come for the food and it's worth it!

I had the Kim Chee fried rice and was not disappointed w the price nor the portion. We also ordered a side of meat Jhun to try and it was flavorful (there was a bit of sweetness in it and it was welcomed and good). There were a lot of regulars coming in and out of there. Service is friendly and quick. It has an older style diner feel to it and I enjoyed it.
