Great, friendly and fast service! Food was overall good for a quick service breakfast; pancakes were amazing! The small stack is actually quite large and filling, so you can share! read more

My breakfast plate at $15.00 + was not pleasant. The 2 piece bacon was not cooked through and drenched in oil. The breakfast meats also burnt . Are you cooking on a dirty flat top?! I wouldn't come back and I would recommend Tanya's over this place. read more

Ordered online via Koa pancake house website. The website was easy to navigate and provided nice visuals and descriptions of the menu items. You scroll through the menu, click on what you want, and you can customize each menu item (eg, adding sauces, side order choices, cooking preference). Once you order, it prompts you to check out and processes the order through Square. Upon order completion you receive an email confirmation and text. Ordering was quite easy. Stars were knocked off due to the pick up. The email stated the order to be finished after 1035, so we got there at that time. However, our order was not ready for quite a while. read more

I do not give pancakes enough credit on breakfast menus, but these give me all the incentive I need to order them. They are SO fluffy and delicious, come in many different flavor options (my husband loves the Strawberry Cheesecake, I tried the Macadamia Nut for my first trip!), and can also be ordered in different quantities. The short stack was still 3 large pancakes!!! I added a side of Portuguese Sausage which was also a large serving and very tasty. Service was really pleasant and quick, and seating was super easy on a week day. Looking forward to bringing some of our visitors here in the near future! read more

Koa Pancake House - Lite bite; Fried rice 1 egg and Portuguese sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wahiawa, Hawaii

I was prepared to give 5 Stars but I need to be honest. And this is only my opinion. It IS walk up to the counter, order & pay restaurant. We ordered the Koa Omelette & the Trio & Eggs. Negatives: - Omlette was flavorful but dry w/o much meat. - Scrambled eggs tough w/o salt or pepper. Adding it on plate doesn't cut it. - they use the cheapest plastic silverware. I was barely able to cut through the Portuguese sausage and even my pancakes. - Overall, food was "meh". Nothing standout about it. Typical diner fare. Positives: + The pancakes were big. We each ordered the 3 stack instead of the 5. Even my Hubby couldn't get past half. +We enjoyed the Banana Pcakes more because they were moist and went down easily. The Macadamia Pcakes were kind of dry. + Dining room was clean & tidy. + Upkeep of Coffee counter was good. + Staff was very friendly & even came back to check on us twice. They didn't bring a coffee pot to offer refills but that was okay. Their coffee was good & strong :) We didn't need a second cup! It's all up to you. For us, we've found other places that have raised the bar too high. read more

Decent food for a decent price. We usually do to go and it doesn't take as long. They prepare everything very well with the syrups, sauces, ketchup, untensils, butter, etc. never really had a problem. Parking was the difficult part because sometimes the lots gets full, especially at busy times. read more

Food came so quickly, was super affordable, and staff was incredibly kind. We had the pancakes and bacon and a breakfast plate with fried rice, Portuguese sausage, and over easy eggs. Great meal! Would highly recommend. read more

I teach second grade and needed 10 "Paul Bunyan" sized pancakes to celebrate completing our Tall Tales unit in reading. Koa Pancake House did not disappoint us! The kids were over-the-moon excited about their pancakes that Koa made extra big for them. They were hot, fluffy, and delicious. The entire class and I gave them 5 stars for taste. I have to also say how much I appreciated the staff. I didn't realize there was an early morning breakfast rush and they took my huge order and made all that food quick enough for me to make it to work on time, even though they were slammed they were definitely very efficient. I should have ordered ahead, but they treated me with so much kindness and aloha. Because of them, my class was able to have a fun and special day that they will remember for years to come! read more

Our breakfast was so delicious. My BFF had eggs with fried rice. I had the trio with sunny side up eggs and pancakes. Very filling, affordable, delicious. Service was fast, great atmosphere. Great place to takeout breakfast. read more

The advantage of having our tire patched next door was the wait- which we spent at Koa Pancake House! I don't make it to this location often but I was happy to be there today, and I'm always glad to see how busy they stay. Today I fought my urge to get my usual- the mochi waffle- and while I truly enjoyed the chunky monkey combination of banana, chocolate chips, and macadamia nuts I know I'll never stray again. I would fully recommend what I ordered, but the mochi waffle simply can't be beat. My breakfast was massive. Three large pancakes five sausage links and two eggs kept me full for the entire day! No regrets. Service was fast and friendly as always, and we paid just under $20 per plate for our pancake platters. One tip, they will give you a water cup if you ask. It's a busy place, but the tables are clean and the other diners are friendly. If you find yourself in Wahiawa before 2pm a visit to Koa Pancake House is a great idea. you can't go wrong, but my suggestion is either the mochi waffle or the vhin D'alos sausage omelet. read more

Came for brunch after a football game at Leilehua, and it was conveniently located right down the road. Right at the entrance is where you could order your food at the register, then they'll give you a number if dining in so they can bring your order to you. The food was not bad I guess. But compared to the other Koa Pancakes, the food was more oily and you could tell too just by looking at our plates after eating because it was drenched. Since we dined in, we had to find a table, but all the tables were dirty and smelled like wet rags. We noticed that the guy would use the same water and cloth to wipe the tables, it was kinda of gross. Anyway, it wasn't a bad place to come, but honestly, idk if this would be a top choice. read more

Terrible. I got the mahi Benedict. Fish was extremely tough and dry, hard to chew and swallow. Also tasted extremely fishy and not fresh at all. The eggs were made hard boiled, like eating an egg puck. The potatoes lacked seasoning. Terrible, terrible food. They usually are so good. read more

We really enjoy Koa. Never eaten in before though. I use their website to order online and pick up. Always on time, never had anything messed up in the order, great customer service, and food is handled with care. We have had a number of things on the menu such as breakfast burritos, pancakes, French toast, waffles, omelets, vinha d'alhos, And burgers. Their parking lot is very small if you have a big vehicle. Some review say that it is outdated but I feel like it has a retro feel and shouldn't change a thing. Give them a try. Aloha. read more

I come here often to eat with my family. The food is pretty good, but you can hear workers being yelled at every time I come here. I personally had experienced this type of work environment before in a previous job. In my opinion, they should work on treating their employees with more respect. I understand that they need to train and discipline their employees, however there is no need to be disrespectful and yell. There are more professional ways to train employees. Thank you, and please look into this. read more

Your typical local breakfast stop, this Wahiawa location is a little outdated. Interior and parking lot could use a little renovation but that's just me... whoops. I ordered the steak breakfast with salad and potatoes. Bf ordered a spam plate, scrambled eggs and corn beef hash with potatoes. Shared a full stack of pancakes but wasn't even able to finish half because we were both so full. Anyways, you order right when you enter and then you choose a table then they'll serve your food to you. Service was good! read more

Koa Pancake House - steak and potatoes plate , pancake , corn beef hash , spam plate w/ scrambled eggs and potatoes, side salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Parking is limited. Food is delicious. Cleanliness not so much. You seat yourself and the beverages is self service which I didn't mind. They don't wipe down the tables after people uses them. Even the tables near us. People left and more people came in and sat without it being wiped down. The waiter just drop our food on the slippery and sticky table we had. I believe it was syrup and something else I don't know. Very gross! It was pretty packed and it was the only table that was available when we were looking for one. I understand it is a busy place but doesn't hurt to clean up. read more

Great food along with reasonable prices. Staff was very nice. The ambiance was very local and not touristy. Will definitely return on another Hawaii trip. read more

Simple and yummy breakfast! We stopped here for a quick breakfast- one of my husbands favorites from his army days. This location was clean and the staff was very friendly. I ordered the 3-meat plate which was bacon, sausage, and Portuguese sausage, eggs, and rice (you choose your side). Mine was good- tons of food. I didn't love the Portuguese sausage but my husband was happy to eat mine. I also ordered a small pineapple juice which was fresh and delicious! He ordered the Denver omelette with fried rice- heaping portions! They are military friendly asking us when checking out which was a nice surprise to get a 10% discount! Our total with tip was around $30- and I feel like we got more than enough food for the price. read more

12-23-2020 Aww, was so excited to order the Big Deal on line as email advertising it arrived today. Told hubs to also get the gift card offer, buy $40 as a gift, get $10 for you. The $2 upgrade for chocolate pancakes looked good. Tastes good with the accompanying 1 butter and 2 syrups that came in the package. One shoyu packet was included with the plastic utensils. I like over hard eggs and hubs likes over easy. I compromised and ordered over medium. Sorry feel like Scrooge, bah humbug cuz the broken egg yolk in the container covered up by the spam which made the egg yolk on the bottom of the spam did not sit well with me. My excited smile quickly turned upside down. Even though some people say it doesn't matter cuz it ends up in the same place, I became the Grinch today cuz eggs should not be served broken. Anyways, the one piece of Portuguese sausage, 1 strip of bacon and 1 piece of pork sausage were good. The vinagared meat I will pass. I will turned the eggy spam, broken egg & rice into pseudo tamago fried rice on my plate with a few drops of shoyu. Always look for the silver lining. The star of the deal were the 3 large pancakes, I'm glad I upgraded to chocolate chips. That one piece of fluffy pancake on my smaller plate and CHOCOLATE chips looking up at me will make me smile again. Let's add more syrup, okay, all better. Merry Xmas everybody. Take care and keep safe. read more

They were quick. Food was simple and good and a good value too! Definitely recommend going here for breakfast

I have no idea what happened to this place. It used to be amazing. The eggs Benedict had hard yolks. The red velvet pancakes weren't cooked and the batter, which was heavily died red, got on my clothes. They also had no icing, which is a staple of red velvet pancakes. They were like cake that wasn't sweet enough that was both undercooked and dry. Two dishes came out and those people were entirely done before dish 3 came out. Dish 4 eventually arrived. Chocolate chip pancakes were good. Strawberry cheesecake pancakes were just plain with a touch of cheesecake flavored topping and a few strawberries. Coffee was weak. Not worth it. read more

We ordered a strawberry crepe for breakfast and after we paid and sat on our booth. We were told that they were out of strawberries and is there any more option were interested. It's disappointing how no one is tracking about which inventory is out and is last minute call that one of the ingredients is out. I hope they have a better system on notating what's out or running low and inform the guest right away. read more

Just skip it. Skip the whole thing. The waffle was undercooked and tasted like straight dough. The eggs were not good, corned beef hash was mediocre, and nothing here was good. While i was there, they had to refund this gentleman for overcharging him on an order. read more

Absolutely phenomenal breakfast spot! The service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding. From fluffy pancakes to perfectly eggs, every dish was a delight to the taste buds. Highly recommend!! read more

Koa pancake house is under-rated they're so good here and good for breakfast or lunch. Me and my family come here at least every other week or whenever I'm craving pancakes. Their service here is really good too they greet you when you come in and let you take your time looking at the menu. When we come it's moderately loud or quiet it's never really overly loud. I always get the spinach mushroom and cheese omelette with chocolate chip pancakes, son gets bacon and rice and hubby gets steak and potatoes or a koa burrito. read more

Koa Pancake House is where our old Dairy Queen used to be. So many great memories of the old Dairy Queen. Now that it's Koa Pancake House, we still frequent this restaurant. We love their breakfast. Everything always tastes great. On my last trip home, I had their traditional eggs benedict, my dad had their kalbi breakfast plate and my mom had their breakfast trio with pancakes. Our food was hot, not under cooked or overcooked. Everything was perfect. ATMOSPHERE: I like koa pancake house because it has a hole in the wall feel to it. It's cozy and clean and I really like it. It can get pretty packed but not too bad. Parking can be very limited too with lots of locals, military and tourists as well. SERVICE: When entering Koa Pancake House we are always greeted and customer service is always great. We've never had a problem. OVERALL: Always a great dining experience and we always leave with happy opus :) Check it out! read more

I used to love this place, but three hairs are too much. Question: How many hairs is acceptable in/on or outside your food? Answer: NONE. We ate there today after frequenting Wahiawa Botanical Garden. My friend found a white hair in her Vindaloo omelet. A replacement was granted. The guy bringing the replacement was nice and it was a prompt replacement. My friend totally lost her appetite after that. Even with the replacement omelet, she couldn't get her appetite back. It was gone. Poof. We left the restaurant and I found a long white hair stuck to my bag that I placed on the counter table. What the hell. I came home and gave my son the take-out pancake I purchased. He told me there was a black wiry hair stuck to the outside of the syrup container. GROSS. They better start vacuuming the place!!! Only good thing, they give you lots of food, the service was pretty nice, portions large. Just make sure part of the foodstuff does not include hairs!!!!! read more

Koa Pancake House - Alright...whose hair is THIS?!?! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Good days: 4/5 Bad days: 2/5 Average days: 3/5 Koa Pancake House has a hit or miss consistency when it comes to food and service. They'll have good days and bad days. Luckily today was one of the good days. I wanted to test out their online ordering system and it was a good experience this time from start to finish. Online ordering process: Ease of use: 4/5 The website is simple to navigate and easy to use. Payment processing: 4/5 Apple Pay, Samsung pay, Google pay and other form of credit card payment is available online (did not see PayPal. Menu selection+options: 4/5 The menu asks how you want your food prepared and even has an option for "crispy" on certain food items for those who enjoy "crispy bacon" or "crispy corned beef hash",etc. It also gives you the option of how you'd like your eggs (even egg whites option for healthy eaters). They have added hash browns as a side (it used to just be the house potatoes) if you didn't want a rice or pancake option. It also has the option to leave out certain ingredients and like most sites a special instructions section at the end. Estimated Pick up time: 4/5 After confirming your order, it has a little time stamp stating they are "busier than usual" so wait times will be longer than usual. For example we placed our order around 8:38am and it said the estimated pick up time would be "anytime AFTER 9:50am. This would turn off many people not willing to wait. But at least they have the algorithm set to under promise and over deliver instead of being unrealistic with a 15min pick up time and making you wait another 30min when you arrive. Follow-up notifications: 4/5 We got our notification that our order was ready for pick up at 9:00am (not bad!) so since we live near enough we headed down there to see how accurate this pick up time was. You have email and text options available for notifications. Curbside pick up: 4/5 I suggest having a passenger hop out of the car instead of trying to park (the line here never fails to be long, wrapped around the building and inconvenient for all lol). You still need to go inside to pick up your order as if you had a phone order. The only difference is you paid for it and can grab and go (just go to the phone order counter, say you have an online order, grab your bag, and go). If you are the driver and had a passenger go in to pick up, it's enough time for you to make your way around the building as the driver or not even have to enter the lot depending how long the line is lol. But we were able to pick up our order quickly, bring it back home, and enjoy all by 9:30am! So overall, the online order process was successful: ordered by 8:38am, got notified around 9:00am, picked up without any issues around 9:20am, made it home to eat and enjoy by 9:30am. Like I said it's not always going to be this smooth but I'll take whatever good days I can get! read more

The Wahiawa location of Koa Pancake House is my absolute favorite! Not only is it a convenient location due to me living close by, but their food tastes tje best at this location. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Whenever I have family or friends visiting, I always take them to this particular Koa Pancake house. The portions are hearty and you have enough breakfast for the next few days. I highly recommend stopping here if you are hungry and passing through Wahiawa. read more

Haven't been here in a long time so we decided to have lunch here. We were very disappointed in the food quality. We ordered two hamburger steak plates. The gravy was orange and very lumpy.

Koa Pancake House is a family favorite! We've never been disappointed in the quality and taste of the food. The breakfasts are TDF! From Pancakes to Moco's, Benedicts to Omelettes, you will love it!

We're always greeted with the biggest smiles even though the workers are literally up to their noses in takeout containers in the AM! read more

When one stays in Haleiwa and is craving loco moco but wants to have the option to order a myriad of other things, one tends to make the trek to Koa Pancake House. A fast casual restaurant that draws in many military folk with 6 locations spread out on the island of O'ahu. Raspberry Pancakes -- Their special pancakes of the day. You get 3 generous pancakes drowned in raspberry sauce and topped with butter. They were the softest, yet stickiest, pancakes as if they were made with mochi. No syrup needed! Loco Moco -- You have your choice of meat and rice but decided to go with the standard, hamburger patty and white rice. Their brown gravy was outstanding; not overly salty but with just the right amount of savoriness and sweetness to complement the white rice and hamburger patty. The hamburger patty is tender and thick, so rest assured you will be satisfied with the amount of protein it offers. Macadamia Nut Waffle -- Ordered this waffle based on the amount of people who posted it but it was our least favorite of the meal. The butter and maple syrup helped but the taste was simply lackluster. Service was friendly but boy, are they efficient! Would definitely come back for the loco moco! read more

Koa Pancake House is a local favorite, and it's great at the simple stuff - if you're looking for a super fancy, new and trendy brunch place, this isn't it. But they make good no frills breakfast food and have been doing so for a long time! My meal was fantastic, and you really get a lot of food for a pretty good price. I got the Koa Omelette with a side of banana pancakes. For the omelette, I loved it because it wasn't sopping wet when you cut into it (aka all the oil and juices didn't leak out). It was structurally put together and everything was cooked well. It had portuguese sausage, cheese, spinach, and mushrooms, and they didn't skimp on any of the fillings. Caution: my dad who likes his scrambled eggs wet and softer thought it was too dry (but I thought it was perfect). The banana pancakes were perfectly soft and fluffy. They had a great rise on them, and were delicious. read more

I've been eating here for my go to breakfast place for as long as I can remember. Definitely quality of food changed compared to how it was wayyyy back then. My other half's bacon was BURNT, as u can tell, it was as black as it can be. We asked for over medium, one of our yolks came out broken and completely cooked well done. Busy or not, quality of food should always be considered at ANY food places. read more

I was hangry when I originally wanted to write this review, but I was a responsible yelper and wanted to make sure I was in a better mood before putting my experience online. I was hoping I could give 4 stars but it's a 3. This isn't my first time here. I have been enjoying omelettes and pancakes here for years. This however is my first time calling in an order rather than ordering and sitting there to eat. 3 ISSUES WITH MY EXPERIENCE TODAY 1. THEY NEED TO UPDATE THEIR MENU ONLINE I called at 10:55a and placed my order. I was reading the menu on their website as I ordered. When I asked for the butter mochi pancakes they said it's only available as a waffle - so they need to update their website. 2. TIMING OFF - BY MORE THAN 30 MIN The employee told me it would be 10 minutes - which is awesome bc I'm a mom and had my kids in the car and I was 15 minutes away. I arrived to a long line of customers and proceeded to the "phone order" sign. There was a gentleman in front of me who asked what time I called. I told him 15 minutes with enthusiasm bc my food should be done. He told me he ordered 10 minutes ago so his food probably wasn't ready and he offered for me to go ahead of him but I insisted he go first. When it was my turn, it's now 11:20 - about 25 minutes since I called in my order - 15 minutes over their quoted time it would be ready, they told me my food wasn't ready. My kids were waiting in the car so I asked how much longer I would have to wait. "5-10 minutes." Okay, that's not too bad. The lady who rang me up told me I could wait inside since it was raining. 5 minutes go by and another employee sends me outside bc the restaurant was getting crowded. While I'm waiting outside more online orders and phone orders come to grab their food. One said her order was quoted to be ready at 11:25. She gets her food right away. My food was supposed to be ready around 11:10. Still no food. Finally it's 11:40 so I go back in to check on my order.. it's still not ready. I ask the employee what happened bc it's been like 45 minutes and I was quoted 10 minutes on the phone. He told me it was because red velvet pancakes take a long time??? Ummm lame excuse. I ordered one stack and only had 3 other breakfast items. Something obviously went wrong with my order - I don't know maybe they forgot to make the red velvet pancakes? Maybe they accidentally gave mine to someone else? I'm not sure but if they were honest about it, I would have given a higher rating. 3. MY FOOD WASN'T HOT :( The cherry on top is getting home to finally eat and the pancakes are perfect and piping hot, but my eggs Benedict- which was at the bottom of the bag and probably sitting out waiting the longest - was luke warm and kinda soggy :( Their food is delicious and I will be back, I just hope the owners update their website and my food is ready on time next time. I'm okay with waiting and understand no one is perfect but 30+ minutes late with kids waiting is not a good time. read more
