I love this place! Their food is amazing! It is always busy when I've been there so obviously it's a popular place!

Quick Service. I stopped by on a Sunday at 10:30am and there was plenty of seating and my food came out very quickly. At around 11am a line formed so I guess thats around their morning rush? Loved the food. The guava syrup was very flavorful and the french toast was perfectly crunchy. The portions are generous and I was stuffed after eating. The crepes werent too sweet even with the whipped cream. I would come back again. Better than some tourist famous spots on Oahu. read more

I went in today for the usual breakfast burrito and got it free with the rewards program not using points but as Birthday Month reward! What a pleasant surprise & as always, staff are friendly and welcoming. read more

I ordered the Brekkie Tator tots special ($15.50) with Spam Fried Rice with iced coffee. My wife got corn beef hash with eggs and tator tots. Tasty and delicious. Pricing was reasonable, considering the quantity of food and taste fullness. Nice morning to sit outside while people watching and while leisurely catching up on what we did yesterday. We will be back to try some other menu items. read more

One of my favorite places to get breakfast in Irvine - you can't really go wrong with anything here! I always get the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs with their potatoes (extra crispy!) and it's so good every time. My bf usually gets the Hibachi Steak and Eggs and that's delicious too. If we want something sweet, we'll usually go for the Ube Pancakes, the Captain Mac Nut French Toast, or the Banana Nutella Crepes (add strawberries). The restaurant itself is small, with some seating inside but mainly all the seating is outside. Service is always friendly and quick. read more

So happy to have a Stacks in the neighborhood! Our go to easy fast casual brunch, we usually walk the dogs down and eat outside. My husband's go-to is usually the fitness omelet, with a side of the fruity pebbles French toast. I love their 2 protein breakfast and often get the kalbi or corned beef hash with a side of two eggs and pancakes. The portions are generous and everything is delicious there! a wonderful neighborhood staple. read more

Whether or not you like this place is highly dependent on what you order, and how picky you are. For example, the ube pancakes will knock your socks off. Twice. So good!!! The ube matcha and Hawaiian latte are both super good too. The breakfast burrito is good BUT a little too greasy for my taste. Overall though, this is a great place to satisfy your breakfast/brunch cravings, and I do recommend it! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning. There was a long line and only 1 cashier taking orders. The line went out the door and the door was left open so sitting inside at a table was hotter than outside and we were in the middle of a heatwave. I understand it was a busy period so I let that go - but the taste of the food was disappointing. The avocado spinach mushroom omelet I ordered was disgusting. Tasteless - no salt. I could not get through it. The Kalua pork extra was dry and very disappointing too. Also got the pancakes which the kids couldn't eat. And the coffee was unpalatable. I will say the staff were busy and they were helpful and were doing their best. read more

I thought this was a sit down place, but in reality, you line up, order, take a number and seat yourself. Staff will deliver your food and collect after your meal. I arrived around 10am on a Saturday morning and saw a line about 10 people deep. I don't think I waited too long, maybe about 15 minutes? Anyway, the menu displayed above is straightforward. Everything sounded appealing, but I settled on macadamia nut pancakes and their loco moco plate. Finding a table was easy; there's plenty of outdoor seating available. Food was out fairly quickly and it tasted good! I didn't feel pressured to finish up quickly which was very nice. Service was friendly and the area was fairly clean. I'll have to try other items the next time I'm around. read more

We love coming here but today was a first that we had a bad experience. Food was great per usual but the service was terrible. Myra, who I believe is the manager by the till- extremely rude. She ignored our greeting, doesn't give a damn, laughed when I asked about sides, and was dismissive to my husband about his order number. No smile, no acknowledgment -- just unprofessional all around. Reading other reviews, it seems this isn't the first time. Aloha Stacks, hospitality shouldn't be optional. Thankful for the other server (wish I got her name), she was very sweet and accommodating to my toddler who asked for to go boxes. read more

Gravy had good flavor. The ube pancakes were light and soft. Not too sweet. The katsu was good. Think the patty for the loco moco needed to be seasoned a bit more. Rec to come early. Place gets busy!! read more

It's been a while since I ate here. Actually I carried out today. Ordered breakfast egg burrito with Portuguese sausage. It was excellent! I love the green verde salsa it comes with. They wrap it in foil so it stays warm longer. Some places simply wrap the burrito in paper so it's barely warm by the time you get to it after the drive home. It didn't look extremely large but it was plenty because I was full after eating 2/3 of it. Going to save the rest for tomorrow! I came around 7:30 am on a weekday and the order came out within minutes. I know sometimes it can be hit and miss but today was a hit. For $11, this a good value in today's market. read more

Always a great meet up spot for breakfast or lunch. Love the relaxing vibe near the water fountain. The food is large portions and tastes delicious. If you sit at a table which is further away, just let the staff know when you order at the register. They kindly bring it to you. Remember to tip when you order, the friendly crew they bring your huge Lattes out to you in large white mugs. So good! If you want a less sweet latte, order it without sugar-syrup, add your own sweetner like honey etc. The regular coffee is refillable, you just have to go up to the counter to get your refill. Free parking. Very busy, so we usually sit by the Subway and they bring our food to the tables. Ube pancakes are on point. Kalbi rib plate & Katsu Chicken plate, Loco moco plate, onolicious brah! Do not confuse the Stacks on Culver with this location in the Woodbury shopping area near Irvine Blvd. The first time I went to the wrong location on Culver and was hugely disappointed. This is Aloha Stacks & the food & location are way better. read more

Today I wanted to try something different at Aloha Stacks. We usually have the Pancakes or French Toast for breakfast but wanted to try something hardier. I had the corned beef hash and eggs. The corned portions were disappointing and the fried had no seasoning. Tapatio always seems to make food come to life. My wife has the crab fried and it also lacked any seasoning. Both our eggs were perfect. My sister decided to join us and had plan white rice and Portuguese sausage and over easy eggs. Eggs cooked perfectly rice not over cooked and sausage was savory. Will definitely come back for the pancakes and fench toast with eggs. read more

The food was delicious! I got the omurice which was a limited special and it was really good itself, with the fried rice and gravy inside. Also came with a side of potatoes that was meh, nothing special. The drinks were notttt worth it...I got an ube latte which I would give 3.5/5 and the matcha latte was 1/5. read more

I love coming to this location because of the convenience. There is plenty of parking on all sides of the shopping center. Indoor seating is limited, but there is plenty of outdoor seating available. The service is quick and we were able to get our food relatively quickly. I don't think I've ever had anything that I didn't like from here. This time around we got crab fried rice and island chilaquiles. There was a good amount of crab in the rice and it was full of flavor. The kalua pork on the island chilaquiles was juicy and had plenty of the smokey flavor. The eggs were cooked exactly as ordered and the green sauce was a great addition. read more

Aloha Stacks is an absolute must if you're a breakfast lover! The Ube pancakes are seriously addictive--like crack. The sauce on top is so good we've even tried to recreate it at home (but nothing beats the original). Their drinks and coffee are perfectly balanced, not too sweet or overpowering, and the omelettes are all amazing especially the Kalua Pork one. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Even though it's always busy, the service is sweet and attentive, and they're great about keeping the space clean. Just be prepared for long lines--but trust me, it's worth the wait! read more

I very much enjoy this little breakfast spot. Everything I've had was very good along with nice outdoor seating. They bring the food out to you which is also nice. The staff was nice and provides extra condiments if asked. read more

Definitely a top tier choice for casual brunch in the area. After several visits the food here has never disappointed. You will always get a good portion for a single person, the food is prepared fresh and the service is always friendly. There is ample parking even though this plaza has a gym and other popular establishments. read more

Came here for breakfast yesterday and ordered their like a triple meat tater tot with eggs plate really good but it's enough for two or three people. The meal in office is absolutely huge. read more

This spot was IS SO GOOD! Overwhelmed in good way from the menu, I didn't know what I wanted to try because everything sounded good. I got the avocado omelette with buttermilk pancakes--both very good. Pancakes were fluffy and not overly sweet. Service was good considering it gets busy. Pricing is average, for 3 people the total amount was about $60. You can eat either inside (if you get lucky enough to find a table) or outside. We sat outside and had a great time brunchin and yappin. Recommend! read more

Aloha Stacks - Avocado Omelette and Buttermilk Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Irvine, California

My husband and I are fans of Aloha Stacks and on a recent weekend in Irvine, we came for lunch. It was crowded and the line was long during the lunch rush. Limited indoor seating available, but they also have shared seating outside with the other restaurants in the plaza. I decided to try something new (Chorizo Scramble), while hubby ordered something we've had at other Stacks locations before (Kalua Pork Omelette). We also got a plate of the Ube Coconut Pancakes to share, it's a staple order for us every time. I wasn't a fan of the chorizo scramble. I wasn't expecting the chorizo to be barely noticeable...Kalua Pork Omelette was good, just wish they put more of the salsa on top. Ube Pancakes were good, not too sweet, fluffy and delicious. Service was fair. Restrooms (2 unisex in the back) were not working very well. Parking is shared in the Town Center. read more

What's better than chilaquiles? Chilaquiles with kahlua pork. For only $14! Aloha Stacks is the perfect place to go on a sunny day. Order at the counter, take your number and find a spot in the ample outdoor seating area. There's plenty of shade and the sound of the nearby fountain. My chilaquiles with two sunny side up eggs were actually perfect, with a good amount of spice in the pork, well seasoned refried black beans, and just-sticky-enough rice on the side. My friend got the Sunrise Bowl, which was possibly the world' largest bowl of oatmeal with plenty of toppings. Servers came around regularly with coffee refills. A lazy brunch at Aloha Stacks b2b HomeGoods would go so hard -- I'm already planning my next visit. read more

I would return! The food was tasty and the portions were extremely fair for the price! I wish I would've taken pictures of our plates before we inhaled our food. I ordered the island chilaquiles, which are flavorful with a tiiiiny bit of a kick. I wish I would've ordered a specialty flavor pancake, but my plate was filling as is. When we arrived, the line to order was long and out of the door, but it was deceiving. We got through to order pretty quickly. There's plenty of overflow seating outside if you come early enough. As the late morning approached, seating became a little more sparse. read more

Can never go run with the captain Mac French toast and maple syrup. I've been to this location a few times since it's closer to Great Park and love it here read more

04.02.2024 - Anniversary breakfast for my Mom & Dad at @aloha.stacks I've been here before, but it was their first time here, and they enjoyed every bite! We had no leftovers to take home. From left right: *Iced Coffee *Ube Coconut Pancakes *Hamburger Patty Loco Moco *Kids Cheese Omelet with Fruit *Kalua Pork Omlette with Potatoes I must say, the Ube Coconut Pancakes were actually good and not overly sweet. They were pretty light and fluffy, too! I'd recommend it! You can't go wrong with Loco Moco. I couldn't quite decide what to eat so I went with a dish, I already know I'll like. They have different options of protein that you can choose from, too! My Dad said the Kalua Pork omlette was very filling. It was actually jammed pack with Kalua Pork. My daughter likes egg and cheese, so that was a win for her. I highly recommend this spot, especially if you're looking for that good hawaiian meal. Keep in mind, their hours of operation is only from 6:30 a.m.-2:00 p.m. There's a good amount of seating area inside, but it does get busy. The earlier, the better. Also, you order your food first at the counter and then find a table. read more

Came here for a Saturday girls brunch. Aloha stacks is definitely a poppin' restaurant in Irvine. Our food was delicious. We ordered the loco moco, light breakfast plate, breakfast burrito, and spicy chicken bacon waffle, and the ube coconut pancakes. I had the loco moco w/ burger patty and it was filling. They definitely give more rice than gravy. The house made gravy is so good! I wish there was more of it. The Uber pancake was surprisingly light and sweet. This was our "dessert" to share. If you go on the weekend you will be greeted with a long line out the door. We were little concerned but the line moved at a good pace. Our food came out faster than expected. Servers are hustling and bustling clearing the tables while being attentive. Inside of the restaurant is kind of small but there is PLENTY of outdoor seating. Our group sat outside and the weather was nice. There are outdoor heaters that stay on in the morning. I would come back and try different items on the menu. read more

I mistakenly ordered brunch to the wrong location. When I arrived I explained my situation and the manager was incredibly gracious, volunteering to re make our food on the spot. The burrito was very flavorful and the ube latte hit the spot. Will definitely be returning and enjoying some dine in soon read more

We went on a Sunday around 11 am. The line was long, but it is not a long wait and we got a table very soon. There is inside seating as well as outdoor. The outdoor seating seems very relaxing next to fountain or a meadow. We ordered a soft shell crab omelet($18), think this is the special of the day. It was fresh and yummy! It is in a decent size. My husband ordered a trio waffle and pineapple coconut pancake. The fruit on waffle are fresh and sweet. The waffle is not to hard or soft. It is just right. The pineapple coconut pancake is a pancake with real pineapple chunks in it! Putting coconut butter on top was a good match with it. Overall, this is a exceptional brunch place. read more

We ordered food to-go on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy but there's plenty of seating outdoor if inside gets filled up. Our order took a little over 15 minutes. Prices and portion sizes were reasonable. We ordered the florentine scrambler which we really enjoyed (except note that if you take it to-go the cheese on top will harden) and guava toffee French toast which was super crispy and came with a really good guava sauce! Overall good experience and will come again! read more

Aloha Stacks is one of those breakfast/brunch spots that never misses! They are serving some of the most delicious Hawaiian style dishes that will have your tastebuds dancing! This spot is located in the Woodbury Town Center where there are a lot of parking spaces. Once you walk in, you'll order up at the counter and they'll give you a number. You can either sit indoors or outdoors. If you have a larger party or a pet tagging along, I would recommend sitting outdoors since the tables there have more seats. Wifey and I tried the loco moco and the kalua pork burger and both were delicious! Overall, this is a great brunch spot to go to with friends and/or family. The staff here are very welcoming and friendly. Make sure not to eat anything before coming here because they give some generous portions! read more

Aloha Stacks - Loco Moco and Kalua Pork Burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Irvine, California

I've been a huge fan of Aloha Stacks since they opened their first location on Culver in Irvine. My love of their food continues at this Woodbury Center location. I came for a late weekday breakfast. The interior is smaller than other locations with less than a dozen tables. There are many outdoor patio tables that Stacks shares with other eateries, most with sunshades. I decided to eat outside where they are more than happy to deliver your meal. I ordered the meat lovers omelette and chose potatoes as my side. I also ordered a mocha latte. The women who took my order and delivered my food were chipper and polite. My omelette was perfect. Along with the cheddar jack cheese there was an abundance of pieces of Portuguese sausage, ham, and bacon. Delicious! My mocha latte had a nicely balanced chocolate and coffee taste. Again, perfect. Another win for Aloha Stacks. read more

My husband and I moved to Florida several months ago and the area that we moved to .. has mediocre food. We miss how amazing the food was back in Orange County. We're huge foodies and we used to love coming to this place to grab take out and to eat at the lake nearby. It's always crowded, but that's how you know when something is good! My go to is the Loco Moco and the POG juice. However, anything you get here will always be amazing! read more

GLUTEN FREE OPTION IS NOT GLUTEN FREE, high cross contact and grill is clean with water only. Do not come here if you have celiac or NCGS There were so many gluten free reviews of this place I decided to give it a shot. I asked about the food handling of the gluten "friendly" pancake which automatically means probably gluten filled and not safe. They cook this on the same grill and said they can clean the grill. I asked if that meant it was cleaned with more than just water and the woman looks at me and says.... "The grill is hot" What does the grill being hot have anything to do with cleaning properly? Heat can kill bacteria but not remove food particles. Please just remove the gluten free option entirely and everyone can be in a better position that way. Or maybe buy a pan that can be washed and used for the gluten free pancake? What restaurant doesn't have a pan? So weird. read more

Good food. Good service. Only gets 3 stars because the lines move very slow due to customers not knowing what they want and taking 5 minutes+ to place a simple order. The store needs to either add more cashiers or tell customers who take too long to move and let others go first. (I'm fine with surcharge for people who take too long to order or discounts for fast orders). I can't stand these slow customers who wait 15 minutes in line only to say I don't know what I want... read more

The food is awesome can't say enough good things about this place go you won't be disappointed

We ordered ube pancakes, a Belgium waffle, and two hot chocolates. While waiting for hot chocolates staff was distracted on phones and we got our drinks way after we got our food because we had to ask for them while other customers got their drinks almost immediately after ordering. We watched staff run around looking for which table ordered ube pancakes when we were right next to where you pick up drinks. They asked us did you order this instead of looking at the table number to confirm we even ordered it at all. After all that the food wasn't even hot. I've been here before and the service has never been this bad. It wasn't even that busy. No line out the door just disappointed customers leaving out the door. read more

This restaurant has a solid menu. There are a lot of options that are a play off of what you could find in Hawaii. My only complaint about the menu is that there aren't many savory vegetarian options available. Mostly just the burrito or the omelette. I had the breakfast egg burrito with mixed vegetables. It was packed with eggs, potatoes, and veggies. The chips were also nice, crunchy, and seasoned, however, I could skip on the salsa provided. It tasted a little too acidic and salty for my taste. I also tried the Iced Ube Latte. The coffee was good, overall, however the ube taste was very muted. It kind of just tasted like a sweet milk latte. The aesthetics of the drink are beautiful though, so if you're looking to try a unique coffee I'd say go for it! The service here is great; the staff are very nice. There's plenty of parking available since the restaurant is located in a large center so you don't have to worry about searching for a parking spot. read more
