    Corned beef hash with over easy eggs and toast
    Gabriel P.

    Picked up my sister in law from Tony Honda were she dropped her car off. My wife suggested Nancy's Kitchen. Well we got to Nancy's at about 9:30 am. Greeted and promptly seated. It took a few minutes before she came to take our order. She was the only server so it was understandable that the service was slow. our table had four different breakfast orders. All of which were not hot. It must of been sitting out a while. My order of homemade corned beef hash with over easy eggs would have tasted better is it was served warm or hot. The ambiance is clean and open. Since does have a bar area the lighting was dim. That was also my observation from the lat time I've been there. Enjoy

    Haven't been here for a long time, decided to come back and bring some of my friends for dinner. I think the food came better than before, the Kalbi was delicious. Our waiter Anthony has excellent customer service, he's been here for 13 years. I will definitely come back again with my friends. Aloha, Derek

    OK, so it's been years since I came here! I believe the last time I came here was when I downed several gnarly Bob Marley shots I honestly don't even think we ate here. We just came for drink back then BUT..... Can I just say..."BEST KALBI RIBS EVER!!!!" Like....FRFR! Finger licking good I must add! Everything about today was great! Service was awesome. Was good fun talking stories with the employees. The Kalbi was to die for! The breaded shrimp was fairly big and had flavor even without the tartar sauce. Mind you the tartar sauce tasted like it was homemade. me either with a soup or salad. I ended up getting the barley soup. It had ground beef in it however it wasn't oily at all, and I appreciated the broth as well as the fresh vegetables in it. It also came with either Jell-O or pudding. I ended up getting the chocolate pudding topped with whip cream. I ended up mixing the whip cream and chocolate pudding together to make it into a mousse, and it was so good. It hit the spot. Although it did look like it needed a little remodeling with updated chairs and tables. I still wouldn't change anything it gave off a good bar, feeling to it like a bar and grill type of vibe. MUST TRY THE KALBI!!!!!!!! Ok byeeeee

    French dip sandwich
    Naomi I.

    My friends and I stopped in for lunch today at about 11:00am. The place was empty, only had 2 tables taken. The girl brought us menus right away and asked us what we wanted to drink. We all got water. After a few minutes, another girl came by to take our order. I'd say the food didn't take too long and I was happy that all 3 came out at the same time. I ordered the Teri beef sandwich with fries. It was just ok, nothing spectacular but a little on the saltier side. The fries were good. My friend didn't care for the won ton in her saimin. The won ton wrapper appeared really thick. She took all of her filling out and only at the filling. My other friend ordered the French dip and she ate it all. The server came by twice to fill our water. I was surprised that it was so empty. The whole time we were there, only one couple came in to eat. I wonder how they can stay in business. Lunch seems really slow. The ambience is very dated and they could use a renovation or an updated look. Beer cases are stacked in the hallway by the bathroom. The seats in the booths are cracked and not in good shape. I

    Fried rice adobo omelet and 1/2 a papaya
    Lenor M.

    We went recently after a 5th grade graduation for Pearl Harbor Christian Academy. Got seated quickly and served when we were ready, waitress was pretty on it throughout our stay for breakfast. Food was delicious and the place was clean. Food was a lot, took home leftover. They offered a hash brown patty or homemade potatoes, I took the homemade, well seasoned & cooked well. So go an enjoy a well made breakfast!

    Corned beef hash, eggs over easy, brown rice
    Peter J. H.

    Don't let the bar-like atmosphere fool you...this place is a for-real local awesome breakfast place. First time here, I had the adobo fried rice, and it was delicious! Sometimes I get a bubble from other places, and you can't taste the vinegar... Here the vinegar is the star of the adobo without being too overwhelming. My friends had the SOS and they swore by the delicious gravy and the meat. They're all veterans, so you know they truly appreciate a good SOS. This time I had corn beef hash with eggs and rice, the hash was fried up perfectly, crispy crust, outside, good balance of meat and potatoes on the inside. Popped the over easy egg yolk after the corn beef hash, and it was perfection! I'll definitely be back when I can !

    Strawberry cheesecake Coffee ice cream mud pie

    Great service! Came here just for desserts but we will definitely be back for a meal (and more dessert!) My cheesecake was accidentally brought out frozen (new worker, no one's fault!) and the server immediately fixed it! Such great service! Kind employees, happy environment, clean location 10/10 recommend

    That's not a mini plate.

    It's been over a decade since I've last visited this place and I don't even recall them have a sit down dining in. Met up with a couple of friends to have dinner and catch up. I ordered the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and got the complete meal which comes with either a soup or salad, dinner roll and jello or pudding. We must have picked a night where they ran out of a lot stuff, because they didn't have soup or pudding and some other entrees that I can't remember. Service isn't fast at all but they try their best. It's a good thing our group was as patient as we could be. Not sure if I'll be coming back but if I do, I'm going to try something else. I do love the feel of a home cooked meal without cooking at home.

    Loco Moco with over easy egg
    Lani T.

    Came here twice in the last week or two because it was one of the places that could accommodate our party size without any reservations. Both times we were a party of 15 and 12, respectively. The first time, it seemed as if our server was the only person working. Along with our party, she also had 3 other tables and you could tell that she was the only one on because of how fast she was moving. But I give her credit, she did well with our party along with the other tables. Our drinks and food came out in a timely manner. She kept our drinks full as well. On to the food. I ordered the ox tail soup. I thought it was pretty good but there were lots of Chinese cabbage in it. However, there were a good amount of meat which was also tender. My Daughter had the saimin but nothing special about it. I felt like the noodles were overdone but she's a kid so she doesn't know any better. My Cousin had the lau lau and although it was tender, it was lacking on taste. The second time we went, we got there before closing but service was still good. We didn't feel like they were rushing us out. I ended up having the same thing because nothing else sounded appetizing to me. My Husband had the loco moco. I tried it but it was okay. Nothing special about it neither. It is a restaurant/bar so the other half of the restaurant is kind or loud.

    Mud Pie

    We did happy hour here the day before NYE so thankfully the place was relatively empty the whole night. Got a whole bunch of dishes off their pupu menu and a bunch of drinks. Service was quick and friendly. Food was pretty good with the garlic Frings (fries and onion rings) and the won ton being our faves.

    Gotta have the extra fish cake!
    Denise T.

    Good local food was delicious, wait staff are very friendly ! Our last waitress had only been there for a couple of days and yet she got our order to us perfectly! It's quaint bug time for a make over in the dining room it's looking dated.

    Teri hamburger steak plate
    Tara L.

    went to celebrate a coworkers last day, so we made reservations for a late lunch on veterans day a lot of people kept trickling in and they were pretty steady and busy, which was junk because there was not enough wait staff to accommodate everyone. it took a long time for anyone to get our orders or bring our drinks, and then sometimes theyd forget drinks. other than them being understaffed they were very friendly, so at least that aspect of customer service was on point. food was good. old school diner style which is getting harder and harder to find, so it was a comfort to know that there are still places like this that do exist. there is a large area for dine in customers, and then after 3pm the bar opens (whenever the bartender shows up as they were late that day). bar side is a lot smaller. basically just counter space and a couple of small tables. lots of dart boards though and a digital jukebox. great place to get lunch, relax place to just chill and have a few drinks. there were a few people on the bar side who were just there by themselves, chilling. tons of parking in that shopping center too so thats a plus.

Melanie was waiting outside and sent her daughter and other half to pick up their drinks when finished. The little girl said thank you and the worker smiled at her. I overheard Melanie ask her daughter if the worker said "you're welcome" to which the daughter responded no. Melanie could be heard saying "some people are just awkward." Then I heard Melanie ask her other half "What's the name of this place?" I already knew she was going to write a negative review. Just a rude customer trying to find something to complain about. Service for me was good. The drinks did take a while to make, but the worker apologized for the wait and thanked me. To the yelper Melanie, learn some patience and have some grace.

They're located inside the Donquijote Food Court and have ample seating inside as well as outside. I went with the Wagyu burger, fries, and tossed salad, and all three were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were salty and crispy on the outside, and the tossed salad was light and the dressing paired perfectly with it. One thing to keep in mind: they make everything fresh to order, so the wait can be a little longer than your typical quick-service spot. I actually think the freshness is worth the extra time, but it's something to be aware of if you're in a hurry. Also tried the Apple Mint Mojito, which was delicious--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the burger. One tip: If you prefer your burger more well-done, definitely let them know when you order. The burger can come out on the rarer/juicier side, so communicate your preferred doneness upfront. Overall, a tasty meal with quality ingredients and a nice made-to-order feel. 5/5 stars and I'd definitely come back.

However, they told me they don't take reservations and to just walk in. Well, we got there and had to wait 58 minutes before we got seated. Pro tip: just have them put you down on the list. Don't listen about not taking reservations for large parties. I found out after that a group of 8 got reservations for 6:30 so I was quite unhappy about that. It didn't help that there was a table with 3 people who were there since 3pm (it was already 7:58 at this point) who were still occupying the tables and the staff couldn't make them leave. They eventually moved them to another smaller table, but they could have done that sooner, just saying. Not the restaurant's complete fault, people can be extremely inconsiderate but there maybe should be a system for dealing with these types of situations. All they had were empty bottles, they were not ordering anything. Anyway, we finally got seated, and as expected, the food didn't disappoint. We got the Tasty Chicken (always a must), boneless kalbi (super tender and flavorful), loco moco (one of the best on the island) and oxtail soup (theirs is pretty solid). We also got pumpkin crunch, strawberry crunch, and cream cheese brownie. Everything was amazing as usual and they all said it was the best food they had on-island during their trip. The food was worth the wait, but, that wait could've truly been avoided. It's not somewhere you take a first date unless you are bowling because it is super loud. It is located in an out of the way, not really scenic spot. Parking can be a bear. But it remains to be one of those tried and true "local" spots that never fail to please. *Rating is solely for the food and reliability of the excellent flavors and quality of the food

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!
