    Cornbeef  Hash Loco moco and Portuguese sausage breakfast special.

    What a wonderful hidden gem! This little hole-in-the-wall is tucked away on the corner of Waimanu Street and Kamakee Street. It's owned by the sweetest Korean woman, Christy, with the help of her assistant, Greg, and they make you feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious--comfort food at its best, just like a home-cooked meal. My friend ordered one of the breakfast specials with fried rice, eggs, Portuguese sausage, and hash browns for just a little over $8. What an incredible value! I had the corned beef hash loco moco. It was a bit more expensive, but the portion was enormous--I couldn't even finish it! The homemade gravy and corned beef hash were outstanding and really made the dish special. The restaurant itself is simple and unpretentious, with a nostalgic charm that takes you back to the good old days. If you're looking for fancy décor, this isn't it. But if you're looking for delicious, homemade food served with genuine kindness, you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely be back!

    Saturday February 21, 2026. We came here around 7:00am and parked right in front. You have to find street parking as there is no private parking lot? Service is friendly and fast. We ordered and the food came out shortly right after. Food was good. Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here. It started to get busy as we were leaving to go to a seminar at the Ala Moana Hotel. I remember this place as having the 99 cents breakfast a very, very long time ago. Support local businesses.

    My breakfast was great! I invited a friend who is homeless and made sure he had a Christmas. They were packed this morning. We waited about five minutes to be seated. This is the place to go...like a diner, not too noisy. We both had corn beef hash, eggs, rice for me and hash browns for him. I asked for tea, but he wanted ice water. One of the customer watched as I had to get up and didn't get my green tea. I don't mind waiting to warm water up, but to stand up 20 minutes later and ask again, then wait again to warm water again. The waitress kept in the back and I had to wait again to see when she came out again. The lady customer came up on me and went into the kitchen and spoke! I was surprised and must have been the owner or relative! I got a box to take my food with me. They are very generous with the food and tasty...that's why I gave them 5 stars! I can deal with that waitress next time.

    Harry's is one of the best breakfast spots in the area with huge portions and good food. Came here on a Sunday morning and street parked for free. It wasn't super crowded when we got there but the restaurant was completely full when we left around 10:30. I got the beef stew and blueberry pancake combo with the Portuguese sausage. The beef stew is definitely my favorite dish from here. The beef was super tender and so flavorful. There was the perfect amount of vegetables and other toppings with the beef. The blueberry pancakes are fluffy and massive. We were able to get portugese sausage instead of one of the meats listed on the menu. I loved the sweet savory combo of this! The service here is always energetic and friendly, and the food is awesome! Definitely recommend coming here for a delicious breakfast!

    Went there for breakfast, because they have a wide variety of menu items. I ordered the spicy pork and a coffee, the spicy pork was good and wasn't that spicy. My wife ordered the bacon crispy with scrambled egg and rice. Which the bacon was very good. The coffee was tasty and the service was great and friendly. Parking is a problem mostly street parking, they have a small area.

    Harry's Cafe is located on the corner of Kamakee and Waimanu Streets, respectively, across from a self-storage facility. It's an old school diner that people who live and/or work around the establishment knows about for all the right reasons. Requested takeaway this Sunday morning and what screams Sunday brunch ( besides a buffet ) but steak and eggs. They have specials that change daily or weekly and I ordered the NY Steak and Eggs; asked for medium-rare and soft scrambled. Steak is not my favorite type of meat entree and the NY cut is not my preferred cut but it was fine...despite being more medium than medium-rare. Plate also came with a good portion of white rice along with the two eggs. Seasoning was restrained on the beef...and I enjoyed the meal. Reasonable prices, quick takeout service, and good food - a locals fave. I walked in and ordered takeway on both occasions. Previously, I had pot roast beef and eggs ( 2 )...but there was dashi added - I am guessing- to the easy over eggs. I don't care for seafood but it didn't stop me from finishing the meal...though I did enjoy it less. The pot roast was winnahs. Parking is tough...there is metered street parking but it is not always easy to find. Hours are from 600a till 1200p; on Sundays it is 0700a to 12 noon.

    Harry's is an adorable hole in the wall diner that was delicious for breakfast. Definitely a local crowd comes here. We split a Deluxe and an order of pancakes and it was the perfect order to try a little of everything. Breakfast fried rice is the side I never knew I needed, it was so good - maybe my favorite thing. They used mismatched dinnerware and one of the dishes came on a plate my grandma used to have, added to my overall love of this place.

    TLDR: just go and get a classic hawaiian breakfast. Service: immediately greeted by friendly staff. We got asked if we wanted coffee before we even sat down. They were so patient and friendly as we were deciding what we wanted to order. She gave us recs. And once decided they went above and beyond to split the plate for us without us even asking. Intuitive staff that know service. Food: we got the loco moco corned beef and hash eggs sunny side up with fried rice. Wow. It was so good!! They nailed that dish. The rice was so flavorful and the gravy was fantastic eggs perfectly cooked. We loved it. Ambiance: very low key diner style but you feel like you're at someone's kitchen. Authentic experience, which is what you're looking for when you're traveling. If you're wondering whether to go or not, GO!

    Simple, local delicious Hawaiian breakfast! We were looking for a simple place to have a Hawaiian breakfast. We came on a Monday around 11:30, and most of the dishes were already sold out. The staff is extremely sweet and attentive. This is a no-frills place. You get exactly what you expect. Parking can be tricky, but we found street parking nearby. We got to try a few dishes to share. Deluxe with Fried Rice = This was a lot of food. I couldn't finish by myself, but it was perfect to share. The Portuguese sausage was delicious, and the fried rice was perfection. We got the last one because they sold out of the fried rice. -Mini Smoked Sausages with Eggs and Rice: very delicious and simple! Corned Beef Loco Moco: This dish was a bit too salty for me, but some people in my group loved it. The beef was very tender. -Beef Stew: I loved this one! The stew was flavorful! Overall this is a great place of you want a local vibe with not wait!

    Decided to swing by Harry's after morning practice at Magic Island. Hadn't been there since Covid days...What really stood out was the laidback atmosphere and the smiles of the ladies..reminded me of the neighborhood diners back In Japan everyone was like family. The food was great. Had to take home half as cannot eat as much now days. Able to enjoy a leisurely and pleasant Sunday breakfast.

    That was a lot of food!

    I was up very early, and I saw this place online, so I decided to come in for breakfast. They must have a lot of business from the local workers, as Monday through Friday, they open at 5 AM. Street parking can be tricky. I was able to get a spot on the street. I come in, and it's like a funky little coffee shop vibe. . The lady was very friendly. They have a big menu, including a lot of local items. I decided to try the corned beef hash Loco moco. Dear Lord, the thing was huge! There was a big portion of tender rice, and the corned beef hash, also a big portion, was tender and delicious. The eggs were perfectly over easy, and while I thought the gravy was a bit salty for my personal taste, , I know that everybody is different. It was still savory and delicious. I had never had this version of the classic loco moco, , and I really really enjoyed it. The coffee was also very good and she kept my cup full. For this amazing meal, the price was absolutely amazing. I hope to come back either before I go home, or the next time I'm in town. Thank you.

    While in Honolulu, wanted that blue collar breakfast. Where everyone knows your name. I found it! Had the traditional bacon and eggs. Just like Grandma use to make it. Love the old school feel of this place. I'll be back.

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws.

Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. 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. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open.

I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years.

It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. 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.
