    Cinnamon Poached Fig Waffle
    Anna W.

    Restaurant is cutely decorated and staff are all very friendly. Food is pretty good but overpriced for the portion. The biscoff toast was one small slice. And the waffle is half the normal size (2 1/4 waffle). In terms of taste, I like the cinnamon poached fig waffles more than biscof cookie butter. Smoothies are very smooth and refreshing! I tried strawberry banana, banana swirl and mocha cocoa.

    F&G French toast $16.50

    Came on a Saturday at around 9 am. It surprisingly wasn't crowded but I did hear that restaurants were hurting for customers and it seemed like this was true. We came a few years ago at around the same time and the place was packed. The service is friendly and helpful and although the food takes a little while to come out, it's well worth it. We ordered the F&G French toast, Steak Poutine, and the Roasted Mushroom Baked Eggs. Also had the Americano and Sea Salt Caramel latte. Here's what we thought: French toast : it was good but for the cost we thought the portions were too small. Bread isn't that expensive so for $16.50 we thought they could have added a few more slices. Or at least garnish it with an entire strawberry instead of a half. Steak Poutine $12: we thought this might have been the best dish. Although the steak portion was a bit small, it was tasty and the cheese sauce was amazing. My daughter also loved the fries and didn't mind that the fries made up most of the dish. Roasted Mushroom Baked Eggs $16: served in a skillet with four pieces of pesto covered toast. We enjoyed it but it seemed more like bruschetta so wasn't exactly what we thought it would be. We thought it would have more mushrooms but had more tomatoes than mushrooms. Americano: good coffee. Just a little expensive. Sea salt caramel latte: kind of sweet, but I liked it. $7 not bad...compared to Starbucks. Haha Overall the service was good, food was good, but not sure if this would be a "regular" place for us. It's a little too pricey for what you get.

    Fig & Ginger is a cute little spot tucked in McCully Shopping Center. The restaurant is small with a nice aesthetic and limited seating. There was only one person working the tables when we went, but service was still good. It was just my boyfriend and me, so we walked right in. I believe reservations are only for parties of 6 or more. There's also ample parking, which is always a plus. For drinks, I got the iced matcha with oat milk sweetened with honey. It was decent and refreshing. My boyfriend got the lychee tea and loved it, though I personally thought it was too sweet. My boyfriend ordered the smoked salmon Benedict since their loco moco wasn't available at the time. He's usually not an eggs Benedict person, but the salmon tasted fresh and he really enjoyed it. I ordered a side of Portuguese sausage, which was good. The garlic fried rice was the standout. Easily the best fried rice I've ever had! Everything we had tasted fresh and well-balanced. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    Special of day: smoked salmon benedict served with a refreshing green salad.  Generously portioned!

    Absolutely loved my brunch outing with friends at Fig and Ginger! Nine of us gathered this past Friday. I was thrilled since Fig and Ginger has been on my list to try, just never made it. Sure glad we did. The service was amiable. I really give the young server credit as our crazy group was throwing out questions and requests abundantly. And the food selections, while not complicated, were more than sufficient to give everyone choices that they wanted. I was torn between the two specials of the day which were smoked salmon benedict (with salad) or the ham and brie sandwich (with fries). Most of us got the smoked salmon. I "almost" regretted my decision, almost, when I saw my friend's ham and cheese selection. It was the most beautiful ham and cheese on baguette that I have seen since visiting Spain two years ago! So, I quickly added that to my order to take out for dinner. Since F&G participates in the "buy local" American Savings Bank program (spend $50 and get $10 off) I threw in a decadently delicious bag of truffled party mix to take home. Whoaaa sooo good. Sorry no photos of that. While a large bag... it didnt last past the week. I am weak like that. Sooo good! I am contemplating my next trip to Fig & Ginger soon! Great place to catch up with a friend(s) or grab a quick meal to go. Located in the McCully Shopping Center on the corner of McCully and Kapiolani. Easy access from Waikiki. Abundant free parking. I like the covered basement lot accessed from Fern St. There is lots of parking just outside restaurant too.

    Croissant scrambled eggs (under sandwiches)
    Ryan I.

    Fig & Ginger is a really nice brunch location! The food was nice and reasonably priced, and omissions (delete goat cheese from the croissant scrambled eggs) were accommodated. The server was great - she was working really hard and she serviced the whole restaurant, but was still pleasant and timely. We spent a lot of time talking after finishing eating and we were never rushed to leave. I'm not sure how it is all the time, but parking on a Friday holiday was pretty open. Great restaurant and we'll definitely return!!

    (only half) waffle order
    Mike Y.

    **3.5** Came here for a birthday celebration. Limited seating inside but well decorated. Fast and friendly service I had to wagyu burger brunchy with fries Cook medium as selected. Meat was juicy and the AOE was delicious with some avocado spread. Runny egg upon closing of the buns. Fries were also done quite nice. Price for Burger about $22 We also had the waffle order with a banana brulee with figs. Syrup was good, would advise to ask for on the side next time. Banana brulee was a nice touch and crunch. Price for about $17. Shockingly was only given half a waffle for this price*** Would have expected a full waffle order. Quantity: tiny, not enough Would advised getting meat dish instead

    Going with the special Salmon Eggs Benedict

    Dropping off my puppy for her first grooming appointment I figured I had time to kill so headed down McCully and pulled in to McCully Shopping Center to see if there was anything open for breakfast at 9:00 in the morning....thats how I ended up at Fig & Ginger. 9:00 in the morning you have your choice of parking spots in the center's lot.....lot looks bigger at this time of the day too. Walked into this restaurant at was seated at a table for two in the second row of tables for two. The configuration of the restaurant is four tables for two along the wall. A second row of four of tables for two, I'm guessing it's set up like this so you can push two tables together. Then there's a looong table/bench for communal eating or large parties. Then against the wall are four tables for four. It's small but configured to maximize occupancy. I was surprised there were six tables of two and one of four occupied when I came in. Service was quick considering only one server, menus and water were left as she passed by to another table. I didn't even look at the regular menu as I saw the Salmon Egg Benedict on the "special" menu made even better when I was informed they were out of English Muffins and would toasted sourdough be an okay substitute, yes please! Excellent Eggs Benedict! Eggs perfectly poached, toast perfectly brown, just the right amount of Hollandaise and the salmon was the perfect amount. I also ordered a Latte but dismissed their menu as I'm not a fufu latte drinker....just a plain Latte please. I did appreciate the artful way the foam was added and the charming cup and saucer it was served in. Those touches are appreciated. The only downside for me was when the bill was presented and I was told by the server as I tried to hand her my card I had to pay at the register. The only reason I can see this happening was because they sell baked goods at the register of which I wasn't buying. I found this very annoying and had the restaurant been more full than it was it would it would have made it worse. I deducted a star because this annoyed me turning a very pleasant experience into a lesser experience for me.

    Three egg breakfast

    Fig and ginger had amazing food! We had the 3 egg breakfast and it came with all types of meats. The server was amazing and so kind and helpful. Chef was outstanding in the food.

    Egg benedict
    Kelly L.

    * Price: less than $20 for a huge portion of breakfast. $7 amazing coffee..no hidden fee. 4+ stars * Ambiance: cute hobo chic. 4 stars. * Location: Mc Cully shopping, free parking. 4+ stars. * Meals: amazing coffee. Farm to table breakfast very yummy! 5 stars. * Service: pleasant. Everything came out fast. The young lady with a big smile! 5 stars. This place was on my bookmark for awhile. We stopped by for a breakfast before going to visit family (we stayed in Waikiki). The place is a small restaurant but very cute. We were the first customer... so no waiting. We got honey cinnamon latte and honey rose latte ($7 each). Both are really good. There is dry rose crumpets in the honey rose latte, interestingly I could taste both honey and cinnamon. Egg benedict ($18) is very tasty, soft bun, salmon and egg on top, served with local greens. Waffle ($16): freshly made Waffle, caramel banana and sausage. We also add 2 over easy eggs for $5. Everything is fresh and delicious! We definitely come back for dinner! They also had some local products on sale, great for gifting.

    Fig & Ginger is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, though the parking lot layout is messy - the center of the parking lot can hold a single car and the parking spot can be entered from both sides, which is terrible when the lot gets busy. The bathroom is located upstairs and shared with other businesses, and you'll need to ask them for the key to the specific gendered restroom. I ordered eggs sunny side up and a rose latte. The breakfast is pretty large, and comes with three different proteins for the indecisive customer (me). The food is straightforward and doesn't over-deliver on what it is, though I wish there was a cheaper menu option scaled down on the portion size proportionally. The rose latte struck the perfect balance of good coffee and floral notes without being too strong.

    Fig & Ginger Honolulu at the McCully Shopping Center.

    Breakfast with my home girlz - Sharon H. & Cathy I. It's been a minute since I've seen my home girlz, so we planned a quick breakfast get together at this joint called - Fig & Ginger Honolulu. Honestly, I wasn't too keen about coming here because I saw their limited menu offerings, but it's not always about the food........I'm really here for the company. I must say Fig & Ginger serves wonderful coffee here, and if you're a fan of great coffee.......this is a spot you may wanna check out. As far as the food goes - very nice presentation, but I felt it was sorta pricy for what you got. I had ordered the croissant scrambled egg sandwich (for $16.50 for the dish), I felt it wasn't really of good value for what I got. The restaurant is on the smaller side, and when it does get crowded in the restaurant, the noise level is pretty up there, making it rather hard to hold a conversation (but of course it doesn't help if you're partially deaf) like me. Lol! I would definitely come back here for the coffee tho.........as for the food, I'd probably pass.

    Dark chocolate brownie skillet

    I headed to Fig & Ginger today with a friend for brunch. I was immediately greeted in a very friendly manner upon entering and while I waited for my friend to arrive, I was asked if I wanted anything to drink. I asked for just a water and it was brought out quickly. The restaurant was not busy at the time we went, which allowed for a mellow brunch experience. For my meal, I had the grilled chicken Caesar salad, which I had some mixed feelings about. Positives: the salad ingredients looked nice and fresh and the dressing was on the creamier side. Negatives: the dressing tasted strongly of mayo and anchovies and the flavors didn't balance nicely as most Caesar dressings do, the chicken was kind of grey in color, smelled odd, and after tasting one bite of the chicken I decided against eating the other pieces to be safe because it tasted off too. Our waitress checked on us often and refilled our waters often as well. Upon coming to clear our plates, she noticed I hadn't eaten the chicken and had moved it to the side and checked in about why. I was honest with her about it smelling weird and tasting a little bit off and wanting to be on the safe side so I hadn't eaten any more of it besides the first bite. She was very understanding and apologized as well as offered a discounted price for the salad since there had been a problem with the chicken. I got a chocolate brownie skillet for dessert and it was very tasty. It had vanilla bean ice cream on top as well as some cut strawberries and strawberry sauce which was just the right sweetness. I don't know if I will return here because it is such a far drive from where I live, but if I lived closer, I definitely would. I liked the service I received and although the salad wasn't my favorite Caesar salad I would love to try the other menu items (they have a good selection of items).

    Located in McCully Shopping Center on the bottom floor, Fig and Ginger is a clean and bright breakfast/lunch spot. There is parking for the shopping center at the front, and some additional parking in the garage underground. We decided to go for brunch and the parking lot was pretty empty. The restaurant also had some tables open, so we did not need to make a reservation. Not sure if they take them or not. The place has a few tables inside, but not a ton. There are some boho decorations, a bright white interior, and some nature/plant elements. We were seated quickly and our orders were taken efficiently. There are a number of options on the menu from toasts to sweets to sandwiches, the options are quite decent. They have also been known for their charcuterie boards. We did not get one, but were tempted by the mini charcuterie option! We decided to get the croissant scrambled eggs sandwich, crispy corn fritters toastie, and goat cheese and fig sandwich with truffle fries. The toastie was good. The crispy corn was quite crunchy, and had a good flavor. The eggs did not taste like they had much flavor but worked OK with the rest of the dish. The goat cheese and fig sandwich was good, the truffle fries were especially tasty. The scrambled egg sandwich was a bit difficult to eat but pretty good. Overall, a pretty good spread of food, and it would be nice to try something sweet next time!

She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything.

If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle. All in all, I'm grateful I got to enjoy that meal with my daughter. It was memorable, delicious, and one of those small moments you hold onto. Marie

    Stopped by Scratch Kitchen in Honolulu for brunch, and honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't packed. We…read morewent mid-morning on a weekday and the place was nearly empty--not sure if it was just good timing or an underrated gem. Either way, it made for a super relaxed experience with no wait and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the food. Loved: The street tacos with the tempura shrimp were easily the star of the meal. 100% worth it. Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. 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. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
