    Island burger! Really good BBQ sauce.
    John H.

    Great place to stop and get breakfast. We went there early in the morning on Sunday and the only reason they had a line was because they didn't have a ton of servers but the ones that were there did a great job. The prices are reasonable in about $20 per person not including coffee or drinks. The food was great, it's upstairs so you get a nice little view and get to feel the weather. This is my first time going, and I will definitely return.

    Well, it wasn't the best breakfast I've had but it wasn't bad. Service was a bit slow and waiter seemed a bit disorganized (he forgot about our table at the end so we finally went up to the desk to ask for our bill). Was a bit hot inside but not too bad. Overall next time I'd skip the wait here and explore someplace new to me; there are a lot of breakfast spots in the area.

    After hearing and seeing all the hype , the girls decided we will give this famous breakfast spot a try. We first went to another location closer to the resort and the host was so rude , we walked away and found this location on Yelp. I was able to use Yelp to get on the waitlist which helped shaved 29 mins off ( thankssss) Everyone at this location was friendly and engaging. I loved that this one was 2 stories with an open balcony . We ordered coffee , teas and brunch and everything was incredibly delicious that we took a to go order as well ! Mahea was our server and was such a good vibe ! We loved her !!! 10/10 all around !

    Fresh fruit rainbow pancakes

    This location is not my favorite; I prefer Ala Moana, but today they were closed because their power was out. The Saratoga location is smaller and parking is more difficult. I end up having to pay at the post office nearby, and the smallest number of hours you can pay for is 2 hours at over $11, so it's a ridiculous charge for parking in my opinion--and Ala Moana has free parking in their lot. Strike two: there's not only a 3% kitchen surcharge but also a 3% credit card surcharge. Why not just charge more for your food items and then pay the kitchen staff more/give them a raise? Ultimately it would be the same price but I will feel less like I am being nickel-and-dimed. Having multiple surcharges just feels different to me as a customer than paying more for my meal. I guess it's hidden costs versus up-front costs. In any case, you might not know about the kitchen surcharge until you get your receipt to check out. Ultimately, I always enjoy the food at Eggs 'n Things. The fresh fruit rainbow pancakes are some of my favorites, and the waffles are great too. The fruit is fresh and the whipped cream is a huge amount. But when I check out and not only am I paying $21.99 for my pancakes, $17.99 for my partner's waffle, nearly $10 for two coffees, and then 3% for kitchen staff, 3% for credit card surcharge, 4.712% Hawai'i sales tax, and now my meal is near $70, plus the parking next door for $11, a meal out for two people is getting dangerously close to a hundred bucks. I live in Waikiki and there are cheaper places for me to eat that are just as delicious. Eggs 'n Things, I've been coming here for years and I love you, but you are getting close to pricing me out for breakfast at your place.

    Hawaiian Style Loco Moco

    Unreal! Best loco moco I've had. Their sauce mixed with fresh mushrooms was so good! There's always going to be a wait so prepare for that.

    We have been to the Eggs 'n Things in the Ko Olina location so many times (over the last 3 times we have been to Oahu); this was the first time at this location since we were staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Service: The service was great. Ambiance: The ambiance was nice and clean. Food: We all got our favorites and they were great: * Pancakes with strawberries and blueberries: My younger son and wife shared this and it was delicious...very VERY generous helping of the whipped cream. * Veggie Omelette: You guessed it...I got my old favorite here (with egg whites)...it was OK (I have had better but it was a generous portion!) * Eggs and bacon: My older son got the eggs and bacon and it was tasty (per him) but the portion as you will see from the pic was small. I would recommend this location but we all preferred the Ko Olina location much more. I will give it 4 stars...you should go if you are thinking about it!

    Chocolate Chip Pancakes
    Andy V.

    Breakfast food is delicious!!! Staff friendly. Ordered French toast and pancakes. Serving size is huge worth to share. However, you need to be really early cause long wait if you're not there prior to doors opening. Worth the place to have bfast in Waikiki.

    Fried rice - lots of yummy stuff inside.
    Victoria S.

    This is a "must eat here" when in Waikiki! We were here 10 years ago and couldn't wait to return. It was just as wonderful!!! When you go ask for Jin. His personality is the best! Tye place is small and your neighbor sits close. In the Aloha spirit; just embrace it and enjoy.

    Took my parents here for lunch since we haven't tried this location yet. Food: Decent but expected better from such a popular spot. Salmon Benedict was okay, sauce was a bit bland. Using taro bread was a nice touch! Omelette was good. Not too salty. Pancakes were not as fluffy as we would've liked. I've always raved about their coconut syrup. It's so good and definitely elevated the pancakes. Even my picky parents enjoyed it, which says a lot! Service: Our server was friendly & the food came out fairly quickly. We were seated on the 2nd floor on a hot day. Not ideal for open-air seating (no AC). Parking: There's no dedicated lot. They suggested parking at the post office across the street ($10 for 2 hrs); we managed to find a metered spot nearby.

    These are the Mochi waffles with straw berries except not mochi and no strawberries

    2nd day in a row they gave us the wrong order. Today just gave me attitude that we didn't order what we said. Then tried to make it like it's our problem it happened 2 days Ina row! Manager could not be more bitter angry and less helpful. Will never return after 7 years of coming every day on vacation Oh and bacon burnt beyond recognition as well

    Good ambiance, good service extremely fast, very tasty, nice selection of menu and specials. I had the pork chop and eggs over the rice.My eggs will cook perfectly, and the pork chop is extremely juicy! Definitely recommend this breakfast spot the rope until 2 P m

    Kalbi
    Mohammad H.

    Waited over our wait time and there was a lot of empty tables but we understand that there could be understaffing. Ask for countertop if you want to wait less we weren't aware you can do that. We got the macadamia nut pancakes which were regular pancakes which were a little dry plus macadamia nuts on top powered sugar we added whipped cream, these needed syrup and wish we liked them more but they were simple. The kalbi was a small portion, the eggs and rice were good. The marinated meat was flavorful but was a little touch and not as tender as others I'd had on the island. Overall we wouldn't wait for this place luckily we got on the yelp waitlist but still ended up waiting a lot longer than expected. It's a cute little spot with a lot of souvenirs you can take home which we did take home for some friends. I like the shop a lot.

    There was a line but didn't have to wait that long. We went from #9 on the waitlist to #2 in about 5 minutes. I didn't realize how small and outdated the place was. It needs a total makeover! Esp the single seating, they were basically facing an empty boring wall Staff super friendly. Food came fast but it was just ok. Nothing to write home about. The hyped up fried rice I read about on the other reviews was nothing to hype about ‍ We deconstructed the rainbow pancakes bec we wanted to taste the macadamia nut pancakes on its own. A little disappointing but we still ate it :) 4 stars for the staff. 3 stars for the Food and 1 star for the ambiance.

    Ask the Community - Eggs 'n Things Saratoga

    Do they still serve mochi waffles, or mochi pancakes?

    Yes, we do. At all 4 Oahu locations.

    Do they serve oatmeal?

    Unfortunately they don’t serve oatmeal. But they do have a great variety of other breakfast options!

    Do they still have gluten-free waffles? Somebody wrote a review about their gluten-free waffles? And does anyone know if they serve oatmeal?

    Yes to oatmeal no to gluten free

    Is all the seating upstairs? What if someone is in a wheelchair?

    We have two tables on the first floor designated as ADA seating.

    Do they do grubhub or DoorDash?

    Yes, they do. As well as other delivery options.

    Can you make reservations or is it waitlist/walk-in only?

    Waitlist walk-in only! But you can add yourself to the waitlist on yelp to help save time before you get there

    Dear Eggs & Things: If you have a reservation do you have to wait in line?…

    You may, depending on when you show up and the wait list. As soon as you get there tell them you have a reservation, and they will try to seat you right away but remember there may be others with same reservation. This happened to us but it went… 

    Where can you park?

    There are several options, and none of them are free unless you have a Handicap Parking Card, or your car is an electric vehicle. The post office paid parking is the closest, but isn't cheap. The meter parking on Saratoga is available early or… 

    Do they have Kamaaina discount?

    Not sure. As stingy as they are I doubt they have any discounts.

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

    I was never a huge fan of Spam and always thought musubi tasted pretty much the same- turns out I…read morejust hadn't had local Hawaiian musubi before. These were incredibly flavorful and so delicious! We ordered four different musubi, which came out to about $13. There are plenty of options on the menu, so it was hard to choose. The Spam had a sweet-savory teriyaki marinade that was unlike any Spam I'd had before. Don't let the simple appearance fool you- each musubi is packed with flavor, and I think the house marinade is what really sets them apart. Orders are made fresh and come out hot. They also sell bottles of their signature marinade inside the shop if you want to recreate the flavor at home. While you're there, it's worth browsing the store too- they have lots of cute Hawaiian souvenirs and gifts. A great spot to grab a quick, affordable snack on the go!

    Good for a quick cheap bite. What I didn't prefer was the differences depending on location. I was…read moredisappointed at the one near Royal Hawaiian. The salmon, tuna, or chicken and mayo ones had barely any stuffing. Disappointed and felt cheated. I specifically asked the member at the register if the item was stuffed with the contents. Their answer, "yes." Nope - barely anything inside. If all you want is rice, seaweed wrap, and a dab of the meat on top. You're good to go. The issue was I had the same thing at other cafe's and was filled nicely.

    3.5 stars We wanted…read moreto try authentic Hawaiian food and came across this spot. The owner was very friendly and took the time to recommend dishes for us, including the laulau and lechon kawali. We also ordered the BBQ short ribs. Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either. Unfortunately, the cabbage served with it also had some black spots, which was off-putting. The BBQ short ribs were the highlight of the meal and the dish we enjoyed the most. We appreciate the experience and the hospitality, but the flavors just didn't quite match our personal preferences.

    Good local Hawaiian food restaurant. Street parking only. Small restaurant I believe it was Ono…read moreHawaii on Kapahulu before. Now it is named the Da Ono Hawaiian Foods. Either the owner or the manager seemed like a one man show. He was the server, bus boy, and chef. Husband got the pipikalua short ribs/he enjoyed. Sisters got the pork lau lau which came with sweet potato, rice or poi, lomi lomi salmon (more onion and tomato than salmon). i got the chicken lau lau, again stuffed with chicken, not enough taro leaves. Only six tables in the entire restaurant. The gentleman that was serving us I believe was also the bus boy, cook, server and cashier! Place is a hole in the wall with missing ceiling tiles and exposed panels above our table (gross!!). Sis loves this dive so we keep coming back!
