    Fried rice omelette with Lechon Kawali
    Marivic M.

    Our first time here and we came for lunch! When we first walked in, we noticed how hottt it was inside. Not sure if their a/c was not working... But we almost walked out. :( Hopefully they can fix that. Thankfully there was an open booth for my family of 4. They sat us and we were able to get water quickly. We looked at the menu and noticed that all of their entrees were mostly $25+. A little on the pricier side if you are looking to spend. But, the portions are pretty big. So you would be able to share a plate depending on how hungry you are. Overall, we would come back on a Special occasion. Their chicken was amazing and the rest of our food that we order was pretty good as well. Their service was top notch and their servers were really attentive. We hope to be back soon!

    Fresh corned beef & cabbage & adobo fried rice with spam &

    I don't remember if I left a review for this lovely restaurant when my son & I stumbled upon this restaurant when they were having their soft opening. I remember the people & staff being very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Their menu had delicious items and I ordered the prime rib loco moco. It was delicious and I knew we needed to come back again. I want to bring my husband here one day. Did not have that chance yet. My mom recently posted pictures on FB from when she & my step-dad went to eat there. Form their two trips there combined, they've tried the fresh corned beef and cabbage, prime rib loco moco adobo fried rice, adobo fried rice omelette with lechon kawali & the breakfast fried adobo with spam & eggs. breakfast. Looks so yummy ! If you want good food, great service & a comfortable welcoming atmosphere, go to Jessica's and you won't be disappointed.

    This place is definitely getting more and more popular! Food is delicious but a little bit on the higher side price wise for a breakfast/brunch place. I should come for lunch one day but we're always in the area during breakfast time lol. The adobo fried rice is sooooo good! I love their lechon as well, the sauce is perfect with the pork. Workers are very nice, especially Jessica herself she is so sweet!

    Cute place in a kinda divvy strip mall. Inside the place is amazing. Very clean & ono food. We shared the lumpia & bento plate. Delish. Jessica welcomed & waited on us. With hubby helping out. Would eat here again if we were in the area.

    Adobo Omellete Combo
    Robyn S.

    A cute little hole in the wall across Pearlridge shopping center! Me and my husband went around 9am on a Friday so there was no wait at all. Granted, most people are working so I didn't expect it to be too busy. From reading reviews, it seems like it gets pretty hectic on the weekends. As a Filipina, I will always have a weakness for adobo fried rice and longanisa. My husband ordered the corned beef hash and devoured the whole thing so I couldn't take a picture. I have to say that the portion size is MASSIVE! This omelette was about the length of my forearm and I honestly expected probably half the size for the price. There was also a generous amount of pork throughout the rice and it was seasoned well without being overly salty. The longanisa was also juicy and had a nice char. The service was also friendly, quick, and efficient. She gave me a box right before I was about to ask so she anticipated our needs really well. She checked on us often so we were well taken care of. So tasty and well worth every penny! We both had a really memorable experience and definitely will add this to our list of brunch spots in the area!

    We ordered a bunch of items to sample. Everything was delicious! Some of our out-of-town guests didn't agree, but they have mainland tastes, so I won't hold that against them. I'd return to try some of the other items on the menu. Great service! 18 photos should be included with this review.

    Prime rib loco moco
    Sydni K.

    We picked up a take out order from here for the prime rib loco moco with fried rice. The rice itself was super flavorful and had adobo in it, which was a nice surprise. I thought the prime rib would be the star of the show, but honestly it was super tough and extremely salty. It could have been because we did a takeout order, so I would definitely like to come back and try it fresh!

    Clean place in the old Pho My Lien restaurant. Breakfast was plenty and tasteful. Had the Jessica Moco (fresh corned beef and hamburger with over easy eggs on fried rice). Also ordered a prime rib that was on the dinner menu, but it was actually a fried rib eye steak with au jus sauce (disappointing when you expect a roast). Anywho, we explained the difference and she said she will tell the chef.

    Ordered dinner for mother's day. Breakdown of what we had: Lechon Kawali plate - good and tasty Adobe omelet and kawaii - very good and large portion. Philly cheese steak sandwich with onion rings. - very ono. Prime rib plate- meat soft. Not best cut but huge piece. Service is always super great and friendly Thank you Jessica's for a good dinner!!

    The "Jessica moco" - corned beef hash side
    Rod U.

    Note: this is a review of the all day breakfast. Resort level breakfast. A definite step up from the greasy spoon. The quality matches the higher price. The waffle, in the chicken and waffle, is an actual yeast waffle. Chewy, dense, bready on the inside, extremely crisp on the outside. Plenty moist on its own but has the ability to really suck up the butter and syrup making it that much better. The chicken for the pairing, genius! A skin on thigh with most of the meat removed fried crisp. What remains of the meat turns to jerky but the beautifully seasoned skin, heaven. It mimics crispy bacon. Side note, just hope this is only done for the chicken and waffle. I wouldn't accept this in the fried chicken plate. Fresh corned beef in the corned beef hash in a 60/40 ratio of corned beef to potato. Crisp on the outside, tender and not greasy on the inside. It works as part of the Jessica loco moco (one burger with just the right amount of filler and one corned beef patty w/ two eggs on rice with scratch made rich brown gravy). Very large servings. Props to the single server who was able to keep the entire front of house running smoothly and with a smile. Looking forward to trying some Filipino breakfast offerings on a future visit. While $25-$30 per dish for breakfast isn't "cheap eats", the quality fully justifies it. One of the best breakfast spots on this side of the island.

    Prime Rib Loco Moco with Adobo Fried Rice
    Juliana A.

    On July 2, my husband and I had to find a good reason to come back to this awesome restaurant since my sons, my husband, and I were just there on June 28 and loved their delicious and very generous portions of dishes. So on July 2, we celebrated my husband's arrival date to Hawaii from the Philippines in 2013. We tried their other yummy local dishes - Spam Eggs with Adobo Fried Rice and my favorite Fresh Corned Beef & Cabbage - As usual, service was excellent - I got very excited when Genie (the awesome server) mentioned that the restaurant is moving to Kapolei in September to a much bigger place and that there will be indoor and outdoor seating and will eventually have a band playing while customers are enjoying their meal. We will definitely come back again and again before they move. Thank you and see you soon.

    Nice spot for breakfast or lunch with healthy portions, great service and reasonably priced for what you get. Simple diner decor and seating with plenty of space to accommodate. My prime rib moco was pretty good, but friend's Jessica's moco was mo betta. Definitely a keeper.

    Lunch for 2 with tip
    Gail U.

    My Yelp Elite friend Iris T. and I planned to meet here today at 11 a.m. for lunch. We both arrived a little early, minute or so of each other and found two stalls fronting the restaurant. Perfect cuz the weather was wet today. Simple and spacious interior. Friendly staff. It was a bit cold inside at the beginning. When we exited, outside was hot and humid. We talked for 4 minutes shy of 4 hours and they didn't chase us out even though we were the last people in there. Just so happened the kitchen closed down at 1 pm since every 6 months they have kitchen cleaning day and today happened to be it. We took the last booth on the right and logistics wise, we could see everyone who went to use the restroom. Only one stall for customers so it was like Grand Central Station passing us. Our young, pretty and slim server, Chloe was sweet. I had met a different friend for coffee yesterday and she told me she heard this place was expensive. Yes, definitely not the pricing of Arby's or Shiro's as comparisons. Our two meals, 2 non-alcoholic beverages plus tip rang up to $75. My oxtail saimin came with grated ginger, good. The tiny pieces of oxtail were pretty much fall off the bone. Unfortunately perhaps they forgot to add seasoning because the soup tasted like warm water. I added shoyu- didn't help. I added drops of Tabasco, still not good. I barely ate half. We both noticed the smell of the mustard cabbage topping the soup when it was first brought out to the table. My friend's beef cutlet one portion was salty but she said the first piece was fine. The menu listed mocha as one of their beverage offerings but Chloe said they only had cappuccino and one other choice. A good place to catch up with a friend.

We loved every dish, especially because the flavors were well balanced and never overpowering. The blueberry scones were not too sweet and paired perfectly with the cream cheese. The salad starter was fresh, and the phyllo was crunchy and flavorful on its own. The crab was delicious and well prepared. For the main course, I had the pork loin with apricot and prune. The sweet and savory flavors worked beautifully together, and the meat was perfectly cooked and not dry at all. For dessert, I ordered the Pots de Crème au Chocolate.

Location: Kitchen Deja Vu is located inside the Blue Tropix Bar & Grill, which just so happens to be right across the Chili's from Pearlridge Center. Parking: Plenty! You can park anywhere in the Pearlridge Center parking lot Food: We ordered 5 items 1) pan fried pork cheese buns: 10/10 - pillowy soft bread expertly soaks up all the juices from the pork filling, perfectly pan fried bottom adds a bit of crunchy texture, pork filling was seasoned well and there was a decent amount of cheese inside as well (it was giving pizza flavor vibes), supposedly "spicy" but it wasn't too bad at all so this would be good even for those with a low spice tolerance 2) pulehu style short ribs: 10/10 - incredible smoked and grilled flavor, cooked and seasoned to perfection! They're not stingy either, nice portion size and a hearty amount of meat on each short rib too 3) big shrimp potstickers: 11/10 - succulent pork & shrimp filling filled to the brim of wrapper! Very on brand because these buggahs was massive and sooo tasty! Classic potsticker taste and there's a whole shrimp in there too, paired with their shoyu vinegar (I think) sauce and wooo this one was winnnahz ‍ 4) charsui udon: 10/10 - nice & chewy udon noodles and absolutely loaded with charsui and veggies that were so wonderfully stir fried allowing them to soften just a little but remain crispy, adding another layer of texture to the dish and ensuring you get a nice little crunch in every bite! 5) kau yuk (caramelized pork belly): 10/10 - big chunks of sweet & savory pork belly, but not as sweet as the name would have you think. It's actually perfectly balanced, you can definitely taste some authentic asian spices going on in there, and the meat was nice and tender Service: 11/10 We ordered take out but you can absolutely dine in if you wanted to, plenty of booths and/or tables to choose from. But I did wanna mention that we were lucky enough to meet Charlie, the owner! Really nice guy, after we gave him our order, our server Kyle took such good care of us. Checked in on us multiple times & offered to get us some water while waiting for our food. Overall: 10/10 Food was delicious, the chefs obviously know what's good, hats off to them! First time trying this place out and it didn't disappoint and love that you can also order directly from your phone through all major food delivery apps or you can even text your order in, how convenient!

The burger itself tasted good as it was cooked with bread mixed in it to make it soft but once you started eating it, the burger fell apart. The bun was thin so it was messy as the sauce and burger started falling out and you needed a lot of napkins. Some people like it messy but it's not my thing. The onions and pickles were a perfect match. Too much American cheese. ________________________________________________ The Premium Purists: 5/10 I was looking forward to trying the burger at Forty Niners and hoped it would be an old fashioned/traditional style deluxe burger. It definitely had the look and right toppings but the patty was a little disappointing. After my first two bites the patties crumbled into pieces and the texture seemed off. It was too mushy and lacked good beef flavor. After learning they mix breadcrumbs in their burger patty, I think the patties I got were not mixed well and the ratio of beef and breadcrumb was off. That is probably why the texture was off, it lacked beef flavor, and crumbled. I would honestly give it another try and go with a single patty. ________________________________________________ The stack analyst: 7/10 Tried the double cheeseburger(dirty style) at 49ers and it was delicious. The fried pickles were the highlight for me. I love fried pickles and they worked really well on the burger. They also didn't hold back on the caramelized onions, which added flavor. The burger had four slices of cheese, so it was definitely rich. The patty had a nice sear on the outside, it did fall apart though. I would've liked a little more salt, but I know that comes down to preference. Bun was nothing special, just your standard setup, but it got the job done. I'd definitely come back and order it again! ________________________________________________ Double stack daddy: 6/10 The burger had a solid foundation, but it was missing flavor and could've used more seasoning. The biggest downside was the bun--it fell apart after the first bite, making the rest of the meal messy. Not a bad burger, but it didn't stand out, and there's definitely room for improvement. ________________________________________________ Bruddah big buns: 4/10 Da patty was mushy. ________________________________________________ Captain messy hands, keeper of the drip: 8/10

    A great Happy Hour deal! Feel like having an early dinner (or linner) with some great tasting…read moreappetizers and drinks at reasonable prices, this is a place to check out! People start to line up about 20 - 30 minutes prior to the 430 PM opening time outside against the wall! The past couple of times we went there, we showed up 20 minutes early and was probably #4 or #5 in line. Since this is still towards the later part of mid-afternoon, it might either be a bit hot, or if it is rainy, it might be somewhat exposed to the elements, so check the weather before you go (early) and consider taking along an umbrella (just in case)! But there is enough seating for perhaps 20 - 25 people in the happy hour / bar area of the restaurant, so don't need to worry that much if you're in the first group (except you might just miss being the first to order)! Ribeye (12 oz) is really good, the NY is also good but in 2nd place, calamari (yum), passion fruit creme brulee (yum)! Then got a bunch in the "next tier" in the pack I guess... scallops dynamite, ahi poke, fish tacos, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta ... I suppose everyone got their own taste, but this is my unscientific ranking! :) Give this a try and get a small preview of what they may serve for the "real" dinner ;) !!!

    Overall, food was good, but what knocked it down to 3-stars for me was the misinformation about…read moretheir menu. I called Little Joe's a week prior to ask about whether they had any specials for Father's Day or if their Happy Hour menu would be available on that day. They confirmed that they weren't offering any specials, but that their Happy Hour would still be on, subject to walk-in. I planned Father's Day around this dinner and came early at 4:30 p.m. to ensure we would be able to get a seat. But once I got there, I was informed that they were NOT doing happy hour for Father's Day. There was nowhere else we really wanted to go and since we drove all the way out to Pearl City just to come here for dinner, we ultimately decided to take the hit on our wallets and dine with their regular menu. Since I was under the impression that it would be walk-in only for happy hour, I also didn't make a reservation and so we ended up waiting 1.5 hours to get a table. If I had known, I would've either made a reservation or save my gas and time by not coming at all. There was some hits and missed on the food, but the items that were good, were really good. Free bread: came out nice and warm, very fluffy. Whipped butter was also great. - Steak Tartare: I know it's a fan favorite, but personally, this basically had no flavor, unlike other tartares I've had elsewhere. The crostini was also way too tough and sharp. Granted, the roof of my mouth can be sensitive to rough textures, but this ended up kinda shredding the roof of my mouth after two pieces of the bread. - Rack of Lamb: Our favorite of the night! Pieces were sizeable, not gamey at all, and the flavors were fantastic. I loved the crispy crust on the bone. - T-Bone Steak: good ole' steak. It was cooked medium, just as we asked, and seasoned probably with just salt and pepper. Tender, with the exception of a few parts of the cut, but it was fine. - Mac n' Cheese: crowd favorite side! Incredibly creamy and with a blend of cheese that just coats the mouth in its cheesy goodness. Tasted good even when it was a little cold towards the end of our meal, but of course, it's best when served hot. - Fried Rice w/ Steak: this was just ok, steak was very tough. It came out kinda cold. Nice atmosphere with dim lighting, good for a date night. We were sat in a corner with a high table and chairs. Table was really small for three people and we could barely fit everything we ordered. We had to make sure we quickly finished the tartare and bread in order to make table space for the sides and entrees. Overall, I would likely come back to try the happy hour, but not for awhile due to the sour experience.
