    Breakfast in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... We got together to help Kim get her Yelp Breakfast Club Badge. It's challenging because we need to all be Yelp friends and at least four of us have to check in together before 9am at a Breakfast Restaurant. We chose Aiea Pancake House because it's located between all of us - and on the second level of the Aiea Shopping Center (same level as McDonald's). Its former name was Koa Pancake House. It has free, shared parking, friendly staff, and clean interior! We all ordered and paid at the counter, took a seat, and our meals were brought to us! Thank you! Water was self-service from a dispenser. I got the Spinach Mushroom Cheese omelet with wheat toast. It was simple and delicious! The main goal was achieved: Kim obtained her badge and we all had a wonderful time together! Thank you, Deborah, Gabriel, and Irene for your help!

    Great friendly service with a smile and you feel welcomed. Lots of food options. Sit down relax or take out on the go. They prepare your meals with loving care and share kindness before you go! Aloha Mr. Aiea

    Had breakfast here with a friend. This place used to be known as Koa Pancake House in the top level of the Aiea Shopping Center. It wasn't crowded when we arrived but the small place started filling up fast. You order at the back by the register. We both had the EGG's and THINGS. Mine was with Vinha d'alhos. Taste was okay - not a mouth watering flavor. Not sure if there were two eggs or just one. But it wasn't over-easy like I asked for. Friend had Portuguese sausage with fried rice. We both enjoyed our meals. Wide selection of breakfast and lunch items. Prices are reasonable and good portion. Woman taking my order at the register was patient and polite.

    12-24-24 a Christmas eve breakfadt, thanks Doc for treating dad and I. We came here cuz the line at AM was out the door and hubs had a 9 am pt appointment across the street. Few tables were occupied at 8 am but by 8:30 am the line to order was getting long. Food came out quickly but the hamburger and bangers were on the grill a bit too long- little bit charred.

    Bananan pancakes

    Food was good. Ordered the aiea moco eggs scrambled and gravy on the side. A short stack banana pancakes that were so delicious! Service was quick, lady server was nice and brought the food to our table. Great service! Inside is small and can get crowded and may have to wait for seating, but not today.

    Marissa K.

    I ordered food here to take out for me and my parents. Ordered their full stack of macadamia nut pancakes which comes with 5 pancakes! Also ordered their 1 egg (scrambled) with fried rice and Portuguese sausage and their corn beef hash with eggs and fried rice. Everything was delish and food portions was generous! Prices are good too! Will def be back!

    Located at the Aiea shopping center, second floor, The local breakfast, pancakes and lunch plates are cheap, but they were too oily and basic. Nothing really stood out for me. The servings were average, and didn't make us satisfied because it was a little overcooked and a little chewy. Limited seats, and a line forms in the middle of the booth. No wipes to wipe the tables, and garbage can is on the right of the counter where we ordered. Employees were nice and accomodating, but we had to wait a while for our food. Overall this place is ok, but I don't think I'll frequent here. Lots of parking since it is at the aiea shopping center.

    Front entrance

    This is a small place with friendly service. We are tourists and were on our way from Waikiki to the Dole Plantation but needed a place to stop and eat. I just picked what happened to be closest to us. The place is up an escalator, there's no restroom inside but they'll give you a key to the one in the shopping center. You order at the front and they'll bring the food to you. Prices are decent. $15 omelet, $12.50 for eggs, 5 turkey links, and 3 fluffy pancakes. Worth it. The pancakes are excellent!! I was traveling with some picky eaters and we were all impressed. Good strong coffee as well. Would definitely return.

    It's been a while since we've dined here. But now there is a new location (actually same complex…read morebut different store front). So much bigger than the previous place. They opened at 8am and we were there a little after 8:30 on a Sunday and yes, there was a line. But not too long a line and after we were seated there was no line but then a long line when we were leaving. So it is hit or miss in terms of wait time. Cross your fingers and the seating gods may be generous and kind to you. Menu id basically the same. And although there were four females to help with answering the phones for takeout orders, bussing and serving as well as taking orders and payment their system is efficient. When your table is ready you order and pay (if you order a drink a cup for your coffee or drink will be given). It saves time for you to wait for someone to take your order and later to wave someone down to pay. I know other places use this system (like Joe's on Nimitz) but it seems very practical here. Every table had a cold bottle of water waiting for the diners (so no wait help had to refill glasses) and I saw one of the wait help exchange the one on the table for a new cold bottle (that table was vacant for a while). The food is plentiful (most people had at least one take out container) and delicious. My corn beef wasn't from a can and cooked so there was a crisp but still soft on the inside. The spinach and mushrooms were fresh (once had canned mushrooms in my omelet at Zippy's -ugh).

    Breakfast was ordered here through Grubhub for Grandparents Day from the kiddies. While waiting…read morefor the order to arrive the time changed from 9:30 am delivery til after 10 a.m. Then the order was cancelled. I'm surprised the restaurant didn't notify us that we wouldn't be receiving what was ordered since we waited with anticipation for over 2 hours and were hungry. The kiddies' mom had to call Button Up to find out the status of the order, tell them to hold onto the order, pick it up herself and deliver it to us. Tsk tsk tsk. The order consisted of ube French toast, short rib Benedict and fried rice with omelette. The French toast and potatoes were the best to me. The kiddies' mom said everything tasted good but it would probably be better hot and to dine there instead. Yelp lists them closed but they were open today, Sunday.

This storefront is located on the ground floor, closest to the parking stalls and not facing Sheridan street. It's an open air seating area, with bench seating along the hallway wall and 2-4 tops closer into their order counter as well. It was quite windy the day that we went so hold onto your napkins and forks! Everything is served on paper plates with plastic ware when you 'dine in.' Not sure if they just provide you with tin foil or a clamshell for takeout. As for the food, the Korean Street toast is a little bit of savory and sweet, on a pillowy soft milk bread. I can see why this is a BTS favorite. And that Yobo Toast, oh my goodness, I am living for their version of a French toast with a lovely pear compote on it. The burrito was packed with lots of meats and cheese, though I think a spicier, tangier kimchi and/or gochujang aioli may have given it a little more rounded out flavor for me. As for the waffle bap, I personally am not a fan of crispy rice, but I appreciate this concept as the flavors were there. The owners were welcoming, accommodating and made us feel like home. We'll definitely be back to try that Garlic Shrimp they kept talking about!

I would say that Forty Niner is a great place to get the bang for your buck in terms of pricing for their food, but I will say that the quality of the food isn't as great as it's presented on their ordering site, Beluga. Today, my husband and I chose to do takeout and ordered three things: The Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Chorizo Hash, and the Molokai Loco Moco. For the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, the lemon taste was pretty concentrated in the middle of the pancake/not well distributed and we couldn't really taste the ricotta flavor, but it was pleasantly sweet (not too sweet). For the Chorizo Hash, I was a little bit sad that it wasn't very flavorful and the Chorizo wasn't well cooked. The Molokai Loco Moco's flavor receives the same review as the Chorizo Hash; although it was special/the first time we'd had Loco Moco like that, it was pretty soggy/watery and lacked flavor. The food itself in my opinion gets a 3.5/5, but because they were timely and friendly as a staff, I'm bumping our review up to a 4! P.S: This location is in the corner of a neighborhood street and Kam Hwy and the parking is pretty small/limited!

We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure.
