This is another hidden gem for Filipino Breakfast. If you're craving tapsilog and all the classic Filipino silog plates, this spot delivers. The place is small inside and can get crowded, but the wait was totally reasonable. I loved my fried fish Filipino breakfast, especially with vinegar on the side, simple, comforting, and so good. Even the little flower garnish was a cute touch. If you're looking for a home-style Filipino breakfast, Guieb Cafe is definitely worth checking out. Just come a little early or be prepared for a short wait! read more

One of my favorite restaurants to eat at on Oahu! The location is hard to find in a small run down looking strip mall and parking is crowded AH and there's usually a line to get a table BUT IT'S WORTH IT! The servers are all super friendly and attentive and the orders are accurate and come out quickly. My faves are the Adobo fried rice omelet with lechon kewali and Ube pancakes but everything we've ever had is ono!! read more

Ordered the ube pancakes, wagyu loco moco with garlic fried rice, and sesame ahi salad. Everything was good and would come back to try other items. Came on a Tuesday lunch and no wait. Lots of different discounts: happy hour, early bird, and senior. read more

Guieb is a wonderful brunch spot. This original location is hidden in the same complex as Diners on North King Street, just a baseball throw away from the Kalihi Post Office. We enjoyed the longsilog (sweet Filipino sausage) and eggs as well as their breakfast ribeye special that I added some blackened mahi. It does get busy on the weekend so I suggest you come early, because there are not that many seats. The staff quickly refilled our water glasses and coffee. I heard that this location maybe temporarily closed so check out their sister locations in Aiea and Wahiawa. The ube pancakes are to die for. #bigboyproblems read more

Came here for the first time in a while. The prime rib loco moco was cold and tough like it was sitting so that was pretty disappointing. The eggs, gravy, and garlic fried rice were delicious. The Ube pancake was super delicious just like I remembered. Staff were friendly and fast. Theres a good amount of tables to dine at, but it can get busy. Lots of parking, but it's tight so leave your huge trucks at home. read more

We've been wanting to try this place based on the Yelp reviews. So, we finally made our way here! Free parking is available but when it's busy, you will need to exercise some patience. As we entered the restaurant, it was BUSY!! As soon as a table opened up, we were promptly seated the overall atmosphere is what you would expect at any family diner. A bit noisy but l, it's local family-style. I ordered the corned beef hash and hubby ordered the Da Three-bite Feast. Portions are very generous and the plates have great eye-appeal. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. For me, the gravy was a little salt-heavy for my taste but, looking at the crowd I. The restaurant, take out traffic, and line outside, the seasoning is okay for most others. Our server was wonderfully attentive considering how busy they were. If you haven't tried this place yet, it is worth a visit. read more

Went to Guieb for breakfast and they have a new menu and new breakfast items on their menu. We tried the strawberry beignet which came 4 with strawberry filling which was very good. I had the Lechon Kawali breakfast come with adobo rice, which was very good and the sauce was also tasty to dip the Lechon Kawali in. My wife ordered her regular adobo rice plate which she always enjoy. Because of the flavor and moist adobo chucks of meat mixed in with the rice. read more

I ordered the Adobo fried rice omelet with a Lechon add on the omelet was quite tasty although the Lechon was mostly fat it seemed like a very fatty cut but at least it tasted decent. The omelet was quite filling and the people working there were friendly, parking can get crowded at certain times of the day. I would go back again. read more

Broke da mouth! The combination of the grilled pineapple, creamy avocado, and peppery arugula was absolute perfection. Every bite had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors. The burger was juicy, the onion rings were crispy, and the sweet potato fries were delicious. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had--I'll definitely be back! The service was great too. Didnt have to ask to be refilled it was automatic. The Restaurant was smaller than I thought however they are moving to a bigger location in downtown. read more

Had a work brunch there the other day. Spent a good 30-45 mins after our meal discussing work and life and not once were we rushed out. Infact, the staff here kept refilling our coffee and water! The aloha spirit from the staff is impeccable! Oh and unto the food! Between my colleagues and I we ordered their Oreo Cheesecake Pancakes, Adobo Fried Rice Omelette with Lechon Kawali and Crab Cake Benes. I won't go into detail to bore you and lose your attention but everything was delicious and was shared between us. A work team that eats together, stays together and Guieb definitely helped lol.

Guieb Cafe might just be our favorite breakfast spot in Honolulu. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth the wait. The dining area isn't very large, but service is efficient, so the turnaround for dine-in is faster than expected. We ordered Da Local with Portuguese sausage, spam, bacon, tomatoes, white and green onions, and cheddar cheese, paired with garlic fried rice. Every bite delivered. We also tried the Loco Moco Fried Rice with a wagyu beef patty, which was rich, savory, and cooked perfectly. To end the meal, we shared the Poi Mochi waffle made with pounded taro root and served with haupia sauce. It was the perfect sweet finish without being overly heavy. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. read more

SO ONO!! Possibly the best Hole in the wall experience...sortra. lol It's all about the experience! Don't know how I missed this one... I only learned about Guieb Cafe on this trip. Guieb came highly recommended by on of the da Wahine's friends who was a local. The venue itself isn't the nicest, I'd say it's more a larger hole in the wall. The location is not ideal, parking is rather difficult, if you can find it and the spaces are tight! This inside is fine, not the biggest of places, but everything is clean and well kept. #GuiebGrindz: ~ Guieb Bowls: spicy ahi & lechon kawali - 5/5 5 ***** for that presentation alone! Then there is the taste to back it up... The Lechon was perfect; deep-fried to a golden, crackling crisp. And the Spicy Ahi was so fresh as well. This is something I would expect from a Michelin Star venue. ~ Oxtail Soup (Daily Specials) - 4/5 Very good flavor, tender Oxtail, but a bit on the Saltier side. ~ PANCAKES: Ube Mascarpone - 5/5 Again with that presentation! Incredible Ube Mascarpone. Probably one of the Best I had! Made in house, not too sweet. PERFECTION!! The staff were super friendly and welcoming; service was brilliant. They even gave us some extra Ube mascarpone after they saw us cleaning up the container...lol. Mahalo! Only adding to the incredible experience of dining at Guieb... This is now one of my go to spots when I head back to Oahu. Chee Hoo! read more

Guieb Cafe is consistently delicious!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The menu is full of delicious options. Sometimes there may be a little wait outside; however, it is worth the wait.

If you're looking for Hawaiian Filipino fusion breakfast then this is the place! Honestly so happy about everything we ordered. We came around 9am on a Friday morning and it was busy inside but we didn't wait for longer than 10 mins to get seated. I got the Bangsilog and we shared the ube mascarpone pancakes - loved both of them. Felt like really nostalgic Filipino breakfast and the milk fish was fried and fresh. The ube mascarpone is sooo good and not too sweet or heavy. Highly recommend ordering those! Everything was priced fairly and the service was super quick. All the food came out within 15-20 mins of ordering. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

* Umi pancakes 3.5/5 * Crab cake 4.5/5 * Loco moco 3/5 -Umi pancakes we're nice and fluffy. Needed more purple butter. Was just missing a little bit more of a kick or something special to it. - crabcake was definitely the star of the meal. I don't like seafood, but this was really good. Not too fishy nice egg on top went well with hot sauce. - the Loco mocha wasn't bad but I've definitely had better. The gravy was nothing special and the meat could use more seasoning and a lighter cook. read more

I finally checked out Guieb in Kalihi (same area as Diners) just off North King Street. Parking can be a little snug if you're driving a big vehicle, but trust me it's worth the effort. I ordered the Ube Mascarpone pancakes topped with fresh fruit plus a side of longanisa, and wow! The pancakes were soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked. I just wished there was more mascarpone because it was so good. Even with a full house, the food came out fast, the service was on point, and I left stuffed and extremely satisfied. Solid eats, great service, and definitely a spot I'd come back to. Highly recommend. read more

Guieb Cafe - Ube Mascarpone Pancakes - New American Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Had it not been for Yelp I wouldn't have stopped into Guieb (King St). The location isn't great. Its parking was cramped. The strip mall this place resides in leaves something to be desired. It's a modest cafe with descent seating. I couldn't locate a bathroom inside so maybe it's outside somewhere? What matters most is the space was clean and the employees were attentive, hard working and kind. I ordered the Ube French Toast with a side of eggs over medium and a carbonated mango drink. My friend ordered a steak special with fried rice and eggs sunny side up. I thought my food was a coco-nutty Ube delight. It was a fun meal but I thought the price was steep for the plate. I paid $16 for the French toast and $6 for two eggs. I know prices are high in Hawaii but it seems like a stretch for 2 slices of French toast. I wouldn't order the Mango-mosa again. It was a cute yet tiny drink with little flavor for $5. Fortunately my friends plate had more generous portions and she truly loved and devoured her meal. We also tried their beignets. I've had beignets before that were closer to what you might get in New Orleans. This to me is closer to a fried doughnut with some filling on top and in the middle. read more

This was off the beaten tourist path and worth the adventure. The dining area is small and feels cozy like dining with family. I would buy the ube marscapone in a bucket. I took one bite of my pillowy soft French toast and it felt like my problems went away. The service was fast and friendly. The only thing I didn't like were the beignets they tasted like the oil was used for something else, the concept se3m3d amazing. I hope to dine here again before leaving the island. read more

This is one of our favorite places. We've been to both the Kalihi and Wahiawa locations. Staff is attentive, friendly, and provide quick service. We were seated immediately and given menus. This last time, I got the adobo fried rice with lechon kawali (my favorite) and my husband got the poi mochi waffles with a side order of eggs. The food was delicious as always. The adobo fried rice was generous with the adobo, with large chunks of meat all over. Other places usually just have a few tiny pieces or shreds. A thin scrambled fried egg blanket covers it. The lechon kawaili is not tossed up in the vinegar sauce, but it's served in a little cup on the side instead so you can control how vinegary you want it. My husband enjoyed his poi mochi waffles. It was crispy outside, with a slight chewiness inside from the mochi flour. It's served with a white coconut syrup in a cup so you can control the amount. There's a restroom in the back. You have to pass through the kitchen to get to it. read more

So many great options on this Filipino-Hawaiian inspired menu! It was hard to decide so I just had to go with what I was craving that day - corned beef with eggs! I know it should really go with rice but couldn't resist when I saw you could upgrade to sweet potato fries. We also had the longsilog and the ube french toast. Overall food was pretty good, but my portion was just alright on the corned beef and sweet potato fries weren't very crispy. I wish I had gone for the 3 Bite flight which features a mini version of three of their top items! The longanisa was cooked really nicely, probably the best item we got. I also liked that the ube french toast came with both ube and coconut sauces. Food did come out quickly though which is a must because that place is tiny inside, so quick turnover is definitely needed. I don't think I'd necessarily need to come back again but I'm glad we tried it out. read more

This is a casual brunch spot with yummy sweet and savory brunch options. We ordered the ube mascarpone pancakes - the pancakes were fresh and fluffy and ube cream was super delicious!!

Also ordered a veggie omelet for something a bit healthier - it was overall a decent omelet with a LOT of cheese. read more

Decent hole in the wall cafe. Nothing fancy but they have an interesting menu with a lot of options serving both breakfast and lunch items whenever you go. No alcohol is served here. I had the sampler plate with popular 3 things for $24. I wouldn't order this item again nor would I get any of the items individually because none were amazing (IMHO). The plate was the exact size to hold each item so if you don't like your food to mix together this is not the thing to get. The height of the locomoco made it hard to eat on a narrow space. The wagyu beef loco moco was my least favorite. Despite it being "wagyu" beef patty it was very dense and hard. I've had better patties at zippys and I don't even like zippy's. I'd rather the meat be less packed together and more fall apart/ tender. The egg on top was perfectly cooked and the rice tower made it stand tall on my tiny plate which was bursting to contain the 3 items on it. The gravy was very rich, kind of salty, not amazing. The crab cake egg Benedict was my fav out of the 3 but I wouldn't order it again on its own. The crab cake was a hash brown with imitation crab inside of it. Interesting take on a crab cake. Hash brown was crisp. Egg perfectly cooked. Hollandaise sauce was bland. There was avocado in it too but the avocado was brown and not fresh. The ube pancake was dry and bland, the only thing it has going for it is the ube butter cream on top. Otherwise it was dryyyy. And crumbly. It needed more sauce/ butter/ flavor/ anything but just purple. Hubby had the ube French toast and it was like dessert. Very sweet. He ordered a side of bacon and eggs and the eggs came out immediately leaving him waiting for the rest of his food separately. Coffee was good. They refilled our cups without us having to flag anyone down. Service was prompt. Plenty of parking. They do military and KUPU a discount of 10%. read more

My son has a thing for ube and wanted to get some pancakes which thoroughly did not disappoint. While the pancakes were great on their own, the mascarpone topping pushed it over the edge. It was a fantastic way to start the day. We also ordered the chicken and waffles. I have no words to describe how revelatory this chicken was. The waffles were fine but the chicken was definitely the star of the show. There were two dark meat pieces of chicken which were mostly deboned. The chicken was marinated but what they did to the skin was illegal. There was so much crisp and flavor in the fried skin. It wasn't greasy at all but I suspect that this thing was likely fried in lard. Sometimes it's better not to know, your arteries will tell you later anyways. As an aside, the name is pronounced "Geb" with a short e sound. I had to ask since I nearly had a stroke trying to pronounce it before we got there. read more

I had the prime Rib Loco Moco and my friend had the Cajun Ahi. R decided to split and share our entrees. I thought the Cajun Ahi was pretty good. I ordered the Prime Rib medium rare. I think the Prime Rib was a pretty good portion. It was however a little on the tougher side as i really had to cut through it with their knife. Maybe would have been better to have gotten a steak knife instead. The presentation was good and just wanted to dive in. I was kinda hungry. Lol. I like that the eggs over easy were not broken. I like to break that yolk over the rice and gravy. That's a winning combination for me. The waitress was really nice. She had a good humor and personality to her. It's kinda like seeing a friend you haven't seen for a while. The whole staff was very happy and very attentive. It's a good ohana type of feeling. read more

Perfection!! I should of reviewed this gem a while back. But I am selfish and don't want more people to come! Haha We love this place. There is nothing bad here. Service is great. Be prepared to wait. Smaller tables and 4 and less move faster. If you have a large party, be ok that it will take a while, this is a small place but so good! My only suggestion would be to season the beef more or better in the loco moco patty. But still amazing. For our family of 5 with growing boys who eat and order as full grown adults the average is $75. read more

This was probably my favorite breakfast place in Oahu, HI. We didn't have to wait long (no reservations were allowed, just walk ins) and at the time we came - it was convenient that it was happy hour! Therefore our dish was HALF OFF. However, even it wasn't for that deal, I still would've loved the experience. We ended up ordering their popular dishes: ube mascarpone pancakes, crab cake, and the country fried steak. My favorite was the ube mascarpone pancakes - nothing has topped it back here in California. It was so so so good. Definitely recommend coming in here! Wished we came more often read more
