    10.3.25: I was visiting a friend who lives down here and she comes here on a regular and said I had to try it. It's California so I already knew parking was going to be difficult, not to mention it's the weekend of the air show. However, we found parking in a near by garage, which was just a short walk across the street to the restaurant. When we walked in, my friend wanted to sit at the bar, so we did. She saw her friend Charlie was working and he was our server. He was pretty laid back and friendly. My friend ordered us the edamame as an appetizer and it was really good. It took a while for it to arrive, but when it did, it was hot, spicy, and garlicky. It was pan fried with some really yummy spices. As for entrees, I ordered the Aloha Bowl with tofu and my friend ordered the same but with broccoli beef. It also comes with 2 fried vegetable spring rolls. My tofu bowl full of flavor and decently sized too. The spring rolls were a nice addition and were fried well done. I would order the tofu bowl again. Ambience wasn't too busy and the general feel I get from the place is that they are super laid back and run on island time, if you know what I mean. Since we're right on the beach, this Hawaiian inspired spot was perfect for lunch.

    Ehh will not come back. The service sucked, everyone was just hanging out and chit chatting. You have to really flag people down because if it's not their table then no one cares. It was slow and not that much people inside the restaurant but we barely got help. It took some time to flag someone down for a knife for my pancakes. The food was mehh as well. It was alright food with higher beach food prices. For the price and service we receive, there are many other better options in the area. Since it was slow, not sure why it took sooo long to get our food and check. I got the macadamia pancakes with bananas and it literally tasted like regular plain pancakes, nothing special but almost $20.

    Stopped by No Ka Oi for breakfast on a Sunday, and the whole area was buzzing with people out for football Sunday. We decided to sit in the back patio area, which was a lot quieter and more relaxed than the lively indoor section filled with game-day energy. Our server, Sara, was friendly and attentive. We ordered a margarita, frittata, and the Kilauea eggs benedict. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the outdoor seating was a nice spot to enjoy the morning. The food and drink were good, but nothing that stood out as exceptional. Still, it was an enjoyable visit overall. I'd like to come back on a calmer day to give it another try and explore more of the menu.

    Spicy Ahi Bowl
    John S.

    Met a friend for lunch today and couldn't have asked for a better Huntington Beach afternoon -- sunny, warm, and perfect for grabbing a table outside. The patio alone puts you in a good mood. I went with the spicy ahi bowl, and it was a solid choice. Fresh, good flavor, nothing over the top but consistently strong. Portion was big enough that I even had leftovers for the next day, which is always a bonus. Presentation was clean and inviting, aka cool slanted bowl. My buddy ordered the California burrito...or "the Stoner burrito (fries inside)" as my kids call it -- and he seemed pretty happy with it. Good size, hearty, and disappeared fast. Service was friendly and relaxed, exactly what you expect from a beach spot. Overall, just a great place to sit outside, enjoy the day, and appreciate the beauty of Huntington Beach while having a good meal. Would come back.

    One of the best if not the only place to eat Loco Mocos. I have been coming here for years! I never seem to tire on the juicy patties with white rice. Also great bloody Mary's and Mimosas at this location The staff is nice and respectful at this establishment. Restrooms are kept clean. Nice Ambiance both indoor and outdoor! We usually stay outside patio, we get to see unusual people walk by lol. Overall, the best place to eat Breakfast for me. This is a must try. Parking lot is directly across the street.

    We were walking around Huntington Beach when our friends decided to meet up with us on Main Street for dinner. We chose this spot, and luckily, it was still happy hour. Our server was excellent--very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I ordered the Hawaiian Kalua pork sliders. They sounded better than they tasted--just okay. My husband got the fish tacos, which were also pretty mediocre. But to be fair, we probably shouldn't have expected too much from a happy hour menu that includes an alcoholic drink with the entrée. Portions were on the smaller side. The ambiance was nice, though. We sat out on the patio area set up along the street. Our server made the experience more comfortable by turning up the heat lamp and lowering the blinds to block the wind and sun. Overall, great service and a pleasant atmosphere, but the food was just average.

    Onolicious Omelette Sandwich (TikTok: @justandyvu)

    1. I love the Hawaiian Buns for the omelette sandwich, and the potatoes were nicely fried! The burrito was huge! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! It is located by the beach! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! You don't need a host for indoor seating as you can walk in and grab an available table! 4. The staff was friendly and attentive! 5. Parking involves metered street parking, paid parking structures, and paid beach parking! Metered Parking is single line and not compact! Note: There is a fee for credit card transactions! Also, restrooms require a code! Photo: Onolicious Omelette Sandwich and Portuguese Almoco Burrito

    We enjoyed another delicious Hawaiian breakfast at No Ka Oi this past Saturday (11/29) !!!! We were seated quickly and our server Sara did an awesome job for us !!! She was very friendly and took the time to get to know us while we were there !!! No Ka Oi is fortunate to have her as a Team Member !!! We enjoyed sitting out in the front patio area, it was a beautiful morning down on Main Street !!!

    Fritatta and chilaquiles
    Jevonah K.

    Food was great. Seating was quick for a Sunday morning. Portions were great. My friend ordered her chilaquiles without onion and it came with. My friend is shy and didn't say anything. When the server came to check on us, I had already finished eating. My friend didn't eat hers at all. The server didn't ask why her food was untouched, and my friend didn't speak up. It all went to waste. Bummer that her food didn't come correct as ordered, but mistakes do happen sometimes.

    Adding a star to my updated review, because brunch at No Ka Oi was excellent today! They have generous portions, and food was cooked to perfection this morning. I ordered their egg florentine, which was delicious. I love the way they poach their eggs. Hubbie had had their corned beef hash, which was so good! Their corned beef is nice and chunky, with a right amount of crisp. My daughter had their seafood enchilada, which looked delicious as well. Today, we found out that there is a back patio you can sit at as well! It was nice and quiet, we enjoyed our brunch very much. Looking forward to going back and trying one of their many tempting Benedict choices.

    Eggs Florentine
    Stacy P.

    Don't go; avoid at all cost. There are a wealth of better choices surrounding this location. I'm going to post a photo of my inedible breakfast which tasted as if someone dumped paprika and chili powder all over the Eggs Florentine. To their benefit they did not charge me for this, but my husband's order was just as bad. This photo was taken after we completed the meal and decided to leave.

Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everyone at our table was taken care of. I have food allergies, and he took them very seriously. He double-checked with the kitchen to make sure my meal was safe, removed anything I couldn't have, and even gave me some great recommendations. That level of care meant a lot to me. We were a pretty large party, and somehow every single order came out exactly as requested. There were no mix-ups, nothing was forgotten, and our waters were constantly being refilled without us even having to ask. Our waiter was truly on top of everything. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the steak cooked medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. One of my friends let me try a bite of her salmon, and oh my goodness...it was so good! I already know that's what I'll be ordering the next time I come back. The mocktails were also fantastic and paired really well with the meal. The restaurant itself was spotless, including the restrooms, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The ocean views made the experience even more special and were the perfect backdrop for celebrating my birthday. I would absolutely come back for the incredible food, amazing service, beautiful views, and overall great atmosphere. Thank you for making my birthday celebration such a memorable one!

My regular order is the Prime Rib Dip--hands down my favorite item on the menu. Tender beef, plenty of flavor, and perfect for dipping. When I'm craving something different, the Fried Chicken Sandwich is always a solid choice, and The Brant Burger is just as tasty. I usually pair my meal with a crisp beer and, every now and then, a shot to round things out. The location is another reason I keep coming back. The views overlooking PCH and the ocean make for a great place to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy the afternoon. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which only adds to the experience. Great food, cold beer, ocean views, and consistently good service. The Brant continues to be one of my favorite spots on the coast.

The pesto sauce was very good. - Ribeye House Butchered Cut: I ordered mine Black & Blue (aka Pittsburg Style) which can be difficult. They did a very good job with it. Outside had good crunchy sear in most areas and soft tender rare inside. It was generously seasoned topped with compound butter. I subbed the garlic fries for mash potatoes which was just okay. Overall, very impressed. Steak is my favorite. - Picanha: Flat Iron Steak topped with chimichuri. Ordered medium rare and it came out cooked perfect. Very soft and tender pieces. The garlic fries were very good and the arugula salad had a nice blend of citrusy and savory flavor. Overall, the food was great. Lots of seasoning and flavors. We were celebrating a birthday so they brought out a complimentary chocolate cake and ice cream. Very nice gesture. Another note; Service was great and the manager also walked the floor the entire time to check in on guests, run food, clear tables when needed and helped his staff. As someone who's worked in restaurants, that's always nice to see.

Now, for full honesty, the starters weren't the star of the show for me. We ordered the pork belly wraps and spicy pork gyoza. Both were cooked well, but in my opinion, they were missing that extra "something" maybe a dipping sauce or a bit more flavor to really elevate them. Next time, I'd probably skip those and try different appetizers. The service was great from start to finish attentive, friendly, and everything came out smoothly. The restaurant itself is super cute, and I loved both the indoor and outdoor seating options. We sat outside under the heaters, which made for such a cozy, perfect vibe. BUT the mains and sides? That's where they absolutely delivered. I had the Korean BBQ salmon and WOW flavor on flavor on flavor. Easily one of my favorites of the night. For the table, we shared lobster mac and cheese, asparagus, and whipped potatoes, and let me tell you... those sides were everything. The portions are generous (perfect for sharing with 4-6 people), the mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the asparagus was cooked perfectly, and the whipped potatoes? Smooth, fluffy, and packed with flavor, definitely a standout. We were originally hoping for the tomahawk steak, but they had run out (sad moment ). However, they made it right by offering a prime New York steak for two and honestly, no regrets because that steak was FIRE. Super flavorful, juicy, and absolutely mouthwatering. We also tried the Wagyu and sea bass, which were both delicious, but the real highlights for me were the steak and salmon. Drinks were also on point! We had an Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, and a few lemon drops including blackberry, passionfruit, and watermelon. The blackberry lemon drop was hands down my favorite, so good! To top it all off, they brought out the cutest birthday macaroons! One tasted like Fruity Pebbles (so fun!) and the other was paired with whipped cream and raspberries such a sweet touch. Overall, while the appetizers didn't quite hit for me, the mains and sides absolutely carried the experience and are 100% the reason I'll be back. I'll definitely be returning for more steak and that Korean BBQ salmon!
