Everything went well. We had to wait a good 30 minutes, there was so much people outside waiting And I could see why it's worth the wait. It's a little shop with the friendliest and happiest people who worked there making it a fun place to eat. so attentive everyone! My Husband and I went there for breakfast on his birthday. He had a spam and eggs. And I had the omelette with spam and rice It was a 10 out of 10 spam was perfect And the rice paired perfect with it. This was my first time trying this together. We will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. They have some pancakes on there that looked delicious. read more

Food was 10 out of 10. The staff very friendly and welcoming. No wait area inside BUT they have chairs for you to wait outside. Malasada pancake read more

I have now been to Kanani's cafe twice, and both times the food and service were excellent. The first time I was there, the wait was about thirty minutes, but it's worth it. Kolby was my server both times, and he is so friendly and remembered us the second time. I will say that when you eat there, all the staff will check on you and get you what you need. Great customer service all around. Now, when it comes to the food, we went for breakfast both times, and the first time we couldn't decide between traditional pancakes, mochi pancakes, or Malasala pancakes, so we ordered all three. They recommended trying the two specialty pancakes with syrup, and we preferred them without it. All options were good, but the mochi ones won unanimously in our family. The second time we went, we ordered them with fruit and had to get another to go. The loco moco we have ordered both times and liked the option to add mushroom and onion. Our other breakfast plates were also delicious. We live all the way in Aliante, but I intend to keep making the drive to eat there. read more

We decided to try this place because its next door to an indoor playroom for my grandkids. The food was great with no complaints. The service was excellent, they checked on us a few times, the owner also came to chat and joked with us. The ambiance was perfect. We had to wait about 15 minutes but it was worth it. My grandkids also enjoyed their meals. If you are in the area, check them out. read more

Kanani's Cafe on Rainbow and Robindale has been getting some attention in the Southwest area since opening about five months ago. It's a smaller restaurant, so expect a wait if you're coming on a weekend. We arrived a little before 11:30 on a Sunday morning and waited about 20 minutes for our party of four. While we waited outside, we checked out the menu so we would have an idea of what to order when we got seated. I don't recommend parties much larger than 4, although 6 is possible but it gets tighter. * Kanani's Famous Loco Moco $16 with added mushrooms $2 - This came highly recommended and we couldn't agree more. The homemade burger patty has some great flavor all on its own, so that's a big win there. It comes with two eggs your way, a scoop of mac salad, and a bed of rice. We aren't the biggest fans of mac salad and should have asked if they could replace it with something else. * Podagee Sausage Benedict $14 - The hollandaise sauce was really good and contrasted nicely with the saltiness of the sausage. * Butter Mochi Hotcakes $12 - Another dish that came recommended and we decided to keep it as is. (Options to add fruit, whipped cream, etc. are offered.). We liked it on its own and it doesn't really need any syrup. * Corned Beef Hash $14 - I ordered this based on the positive comments from reviews and was a tad disappointed. It's canned corned beef and I guess it was my mistake to assume it wouldn't be. It was fine, but wasn't exceptional or anything. There are probably more specialty options to choose from and I should have done that instead. We were definitely curious about the Malasada Hotcakes too as it comes highly recommended. We'll have to save that for next time. Service was good - Kolby has a lot of great energy and it comes across very easily. The whole team is serving up Aloha spirit with a smile. There is a 3% charge for credit cards, which it looks like more restaurants are passing on to customers. read more

This place is a MUST TRY! Service was amazing...drinks were topped off and service was proactive. I literally didn't have to ask for anything. My husband and I got lucky and got seated pretty quick! The ambiance was clean and had a Hawaiian theme. We ordered Corn Beef Hash, Loco Moco and short Hotcakes. All the food was fresh and flavorful! Also, the food was cooked perfectly! The food was reasonably priced and portions were very generous. We had plenty of leftovers to take home! We will definitely be back to try more! read more

Wow, wow, wow!!! So glad my friends from Hawaii who now live in Vegas told me about this spot. Reminded me of being back home... anyhoo let's get to the food.. I ordered the Hawaiian Kine with over easy eggs to put over my rice of course and Portuguese Sausage which is my favorite but hard to get in the mainland. The breakfast was amazing but the highlight was the pancakes because they were Malasada Pancakes.. for the people who don't know you gotta try it but it's dough fried covered with sugar.. I know I know doesn't sounds fancy but trust me it's amazing! This was a one of one type of pancake because I've never heard of any place doing this so good for them. Anyhoo, if you're around Rainbow Blvd be sure to stop by and give them a try. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. read more

Omg!!! Had to return because the food is so ono. Looking for a delicious Loco Moco, Kanani's Cafe had got to be the best Loco Moco in Vegas. The meat is seasoned well and the gravy has a lot of flavor. Tupac says it's the BEST he's ever had. We added mushrooms and onions which was perfect however, I would recommend to keep the onions big instead of cutting it small. The mushrooms were yummy. Service is always awesome and the Mochi pancakes is always a hit. Not sweet but so good. Stop by and give them a try. read more

Arrived today around 11AM, it was pretty packed and busy! My brother and i were immediately greeted with everyone's aloha spirit. The menu and food options is very straight to the point catering to what they truly offer in every delicious way. My brother got the Kananis Famous Loco Moco, i got the Cheehoo omelette, and we shared Butter Mochi Hotcakes. From when they brought out the food to us almost finishing our food, my brother and i couldn't stop saying "OH WOW". I cannot wait take my son here, he would enjoy this restaurant! Butter Mochi Hotcakes - 10/10 - MUST HAVE ! Kananis Famous Loco Moco - Two 6oz beef patties, with eggs, rice, & mac salad - 8.5/10 Cheehoo Omelette - Portuguese sausage, peppers, jalapeno, cheese, and added onions with sides of tots and wheat toast - 8/10 Other than how delicious the food was, huge recognition to the staff! Their aloha spirit was really warm and welcoming! I would over hear the staff talking to other customers dining in and i love how social and kind everyone is. Personable conversations, to making sure everyone is doing well, if anyone needed anything, smiling, etc. The staff plus the delicious food made everything so enjoyable. We definitely need more of this light in the world! Overall, the restaurant itself is 10/10! Already excited to come back and share with my family and loved ones. Thank you for taking care of my brother and i this trip Kananis Cafe! read more

Kanani's Cafe - What is left of the Butter Mochi pancakes and breakfast eggs with spam! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Mood - In my feelings Whenever I'm feeling down, food soothes my soul. Especially when it's my kind of comfort food. Upon entering was quickly greeted and ushered over to a table. Menus were given and drink order was taken. Opted for that Birthday Cake Lemonade ( li hing mui, strawberry lemonade), of course those famous Mochi pancakes, and that signature Loco Moco. Interior is quaint, so if you have a big party with you, def get there early as this is a brunch cafe hours.. Everything was very clean. And the customer service is on point. Now what I can say is this, if you're looking for a tourist commercial experience this isn't it. If You are looking for that feel of sitting in Aunty's kitchen to talk story then this is where you wanna be. Never once felt like customer or just a number. I felt comfort and at peace. Would most def recommend- pricing is beyond reasonable for the portions and the quality. I have already plotted by excursion back. Location is Rainbow/Robindale- ample parking. read more

You want a proper ono Hawaiian breakfast with all the love of the islands. This is your place. You'll find local Hawaiians frequenting here for good reason. From a tasty loco moco, guava ice tea, spam musubi's, butter mochi pancakes that needs no syrup, Portuguese sausage, kalua pork Benedict, and some keiki (kids menu) plates. Rice! Yes! Shoyu! Yes! If I were still local, this would definitely be a repeat for fam and I. All the servers were so nice and attentive. The place is small so packs up quickly. Get there early or expect a wait. read more

Warm friendly service. Counter seating of 4 and about 10 tables (I think, don't exactly remember). Air condition and clean establishment. The waiter and waitress was helpful, friendly and courteous. We order the butter mochi hotcakes and a side of extra crispy bacon for breakfast. No syrup nor jelly needed. It was delicious with just butter and the bacon made it better. Then, for lunch (yes we returned on the same day) we ordered the loco moco with mushrooms and onions. It was delicious and the gravy was not salty. A big portion for us so yes we had leftovers albeit a very small portion (maybe 4 more bites but was too full to finish even this amount). read more

Best loco moco I've had, will be back to try other items. Place was busy in the morning, more than 30min wait for dine in.

Noticed the raving reviews at Kanani's and we know why. The seating so well organized and wait staff are spot on. Ashley, our waitress was the best. She was so attentive, full of smiles and personable. Made us feel like we were being served at home and not forced service. She topped off our coffee at the right times and took away our plates just in time so we can prepare to have our dessert (butter mochi pancake). Down to the meal, let's just say, we ate 90% of it and took the rest back to Airbnb; it's that good. Would we come back? Absolutely! Excellent service, cozy great food, atmosphere and homey. read more

This restaurant is hands down amazing! My daughter and I have been coming here almost once a week and they have never disappointed us. We get something different every time we went and it wasn't planned. It was just what our cravings told us. We've had pancakes, corned beef hash, kalua quesadilla, breakfast burrito, eggs and bacon, Kanani burger, fries, chop steak...you get the picture. Every item just hits the spot. You really can't go wrong with anything you decide to get. They are all delicious. The one must have item that we both love and always get is: the gravy. We mix it with rice, dip our fries or burger in it, and even pour it over the quesadilla. It's that good and I highly recommend ordering a side of it to go with your meal. You'll thank me later. Everyone at Kanani's are amazing. They are all super chill, have lots of aloha and I never seen any of them stress when it gets a little crazy. This tells me, they are great people, love what they are doing and have pride in their brand. Please support local and give Kanani's Cafe a visit! read more

Came here for Sunday brunch after church and it was perfect. The family that owns this place are very attentive and really sweet. They make you feel comfortable and at home in their restaurant. They ensure your food is taken care of and that they can accommodate anything you might need. We really enjoyed our eggs, rice, toast, Portuguese sausage, and the best MALASADA pancake I've ever had! (Not pictured because we ate it too fast) lol but aside from the the prices are fair and I would definitely come back for the vibe and food! read more

Great food for great price & great service! As soon as we came in we were greeted with aloha by Kanani herself, we came on an early morning weekday so we got seated right away. My bf and I ordered the butter mochi and loco moco. Tbh I was debating between the butter mochi and the malasada pancake, and I'm glad I chose the butter mochi (no syrup needed btw!). 10/10. Can't wait to bring family & friends here next time! read more

Shout out to Ashley our server. Food was supah good. Smashed um, no leftovers. The KANANI'S guava ice tea is fiyah. My wife and I got the buttah mochi pancake and Ashley did great in recommending no need put syrup but syrup available if like um more sweet. We shared the DaBig Boy breakfast, only thing I wished we did was ask for extra Portuguese sausage on the side. The Portuguese sausage was the highlight of the brunch we had. Take me back to home. Burnt middle parts of the sausage was definitely reminiscent. The French toast was great too, strawberry and banana added in and one fat splash of whipped cream on the side. I think so auntie Kanani needs to throw tent in the parking lot with more picnic tables. Place is bumping. And the workers are hustling. read more

The restaurant is a narrow space with a cute Hawaiian mural. The staff were very friendly and so welcoming. They were gracious in helping with the food selection. We ordered various dishes. It was a mom and son date out so the boys got beautiful French toasts and also the loco moco. No complaints and full belly's. The moms enjoyed various eggs like the Kalua pig eggs Benedict and omelette as well as the pineapple sausage scramble. We also shared a delicious mochi pancake that is amazing & didn't need a syrup. Overall, we will definitely be returning to enjoy the food and you should try it too. read more

Being born & raised in Oahu....This spot really made me think of "home". The way they talk pidgin and hearing them tell the elder women, "hi aunty". Really made me feel like I was in Hawaii again. The food...omg!!! The butter mochi pancakes!!!! I need to come back again for that. And they're HUGE! They definitely need to be shared. Their plates are also huge. My niece and her bf also got the malasadas pancakes and they said it tasted exactly like it but smashed flat! Definitely will be back. Loved the ALOHA here read more

Love this spot so much! So homey, and comforting. The food is all so good in their own way. The owner is so nice and she really makes you feel like you're in her own home, which I love. When we came in, the place was full of people that you wouldn't think they had only opened a couple of weeks ago! & the way the owner was chatting up with every table it was like she was hosting her friends at her place lol. We put our names down on the list and waited a short while before we got seated, ordered & got our food. It's a small menu but I know they plan on adding more items. We really wanted the butter mochi pancakes but they were sold out. We were told it's better to call and see if they still have before coming in because they sell out of that one pretty fast. We ordered the portagee Benedict, the Hawaiian omelet and the Malasada pancakes. All of which were so delicious! They also have special iced teas with flavors like guava and pineapple! The hospitality here is unmatched and I hope they continue to thrive! read more

I love supporting small, Hawaii local based businesses so we decided to have a girls brunch here with my friends. It's a very small café so you'll have to be patient if you go during peak eating times. They only have so many tables but do have a bar counter style seating, My favorite was the.Malasadas pancakes... so different and unique... you don't need syrup!! Our waitress is so funny, she had been on a diet and had not tried any of the foods so we were making fun of her and we told her we wanted to order everything just so she could try it with us.. of course we didn't order everything but we did offer for her to eat with us!

Even though the menu is simple, the food goin broke da mouth fo sure! It's a small and cozy place but it's okay that's how we do it in Hawaii.

Stopped by Kanani's Café in Las Vegas and had such a great experience. I ordered the Boom Kanani combo with butter mochi pancakes, over-medium eggs, a slice of ham, and rice, and everything hit the spot. The butter mochi pancakes were really good they had a nice sweet, chewy texture that honestly made me not want to drown them in syrup. The ham was really good too, and if you know what I mean, it kind of reminded me of bologna in the best way. The rice was fluffy and rounded out the plate perfectly. I originally wanted to dine in, but I had my dog with me and didn't have a leash totally on me and even then, the staff was still incredibly kind, understanding, and welcoming. What really made this place stand out was the amazing customer service. Everyone was friendly and gave off true aloha spirit, making you feel right at home. They had local jams playing, which added to the vibe. The ambiance is very casual, intimate, and cozy, with a small space that feels personal rather than crowded. One helpful note for anyone looking to do takeout their phone number wasn't listed on Yelp when I checked, so I had to find it on Google. The number is +1 (702) 344-7386 hope this helps others who want to order ahead. Overall, great food, great service, great vibes. I'll definitely be back Gotta try the malasada pancake next. read more

Got to come here on their soft opening day. The moment we walked in we were seated and greeted. All aloha spirit in here I loved it. The interior is beautiful and so welcoming, reminded me of all the little cafes in Hawaii with beautiful artwork and amazing vibes. There were so many amazing menu options to choose from I def had to come back to try their lunch options. I started off with the açaí bowl which usually I don't care for but this was delicious and packed to da maxxx. The granola was so flavorful and the fruits were perfect. Afterwards I had the butter mochi hotcakes and let me tell you... I didn't even need syrup, this was loaded with so much flavor and was so buttery it just melted it your mouth. We were shook. Lastly, you can't go wrong with a traditional Hawaiian breakfast. I opted for the west side scramble. The cheese was melted perfectly on there and the toast on the side had melted butter on it oooh it was just what I needed. Don't sleep on their speciality drinks either!! I got the ice cake lemonade and I would buy a whole jug of that to have at home hahaha. I can't wait to come back and mahalo for such an amazing experience! read more
