    Ube Pancakes Flavored Iced Tea Spinach Mushroom Omelet
    Danica Raven Joyce F.

    I have been here a few times and it has not once been a disappointing experience. The 5-star show is the Ube Pancakes. The five-layered fluffy pancakes smothered in Ube cream is worth every hype. You may think it's super sweet, but it has the perfect balance and not too sweet at all. I would definitely come here just for this. We also ordered the Spinach Mushroom Omelette with a side of hash browns and salad and it was seasoned well and I have no complaints of the flavors. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is the service. You have to put your name in a waiting list, which we did, but once we were sat, our server didn't come for about 15 minutes. It is busy in here and not always the case, but be prepared to wait.

    Warning: this may be the best breakfast I've ever had. Food & drink: (5/5) Massive portions and amazing quality. What more can I say? My friend found this place off of TikTok and I'm pretty confident this became my favorite meal of our entire Oahu trip. My partner got the pork belly oinker which included the most melt-in-your mouth lechon kawali, with savory garlic fried rice, and eggs any way. I got the veggie omelet with house potatoes and asparagus since at this point in our trip I felt extremely veggie deficient. The potatoes were perfectly crispy yet fluffy, the asparagus was well seasoned though I wish we got more than three, and the omelet was massive but the least memorable part of the meal (it was still pretty good for an omelet though). The star of the show was undoubtedly the ube pancakes. Most of the ones I've had so far were too sweet or too dense, but these ones were perfectly moist with just the right amount of sweet ube sauce. They're also made with Okinawan sweet potato! The pork belly oinker and ube pancakes are easily two must-try dishes for anyone visiting this spot. Service: (5/5) Everyone is extremely friendly and accommodating despite how busy it is here. I was actually shocked at the level of attentiveness given the never ending amount of guests that come in and out. Other notes: This place gets BUSY, so expect to wait in a line outside any time after 8am. Luckily my partner and I showed up around 7:30am so we were able to get seated right away.

    My first time trying YogurStory! I know, I know, kind of sad this place has been around for a while. I've heard good things about them, but never actually had a chance to try them until recently. We came here for brunch, and ordered the eggs Benedict. One was the classic eggs Benedict with fried rice. The other was the smoked salmon eggs Benedict with hashbrowns. Food was very good. I was surprised at the quality of the egg Benedict. We had also ordered hot coffee and an iced coffee. Service was a bit slow. Iced coffee was brought out, but nobody brought out my hot coffee. Our food then arrived, but we weren't given any utensils in which to eat it and it took a while to flag down our waitress for us to get utensils as we stared hungrily at our food. Atmosphere is a casual diner type feel, but was clean. Note this place gets busy very quickly. They don't take reservations, but you can put yourself on a waitlist on Yelp which helps cut down on the time you actually have to wait at the restaurant. Food 5/5, service 3/5.

    Ube Aloha French Toast with Ube sauce
    Diane W.

    We added ourselves to the Yelp waiting list and were seated as soon as we checked in! It took a while for someone to take our order but our drinks came out quickly. We ordered an iced honey coffee and a Blue Hawaiian. Both of us really enjoyed our drinks and drank all of it. I ordered an Ube Aloha French Toast. My boyfriend ordered an Oinker with kimchi fried rice. We shared a crab cakes Eggs Benedict with salad and hash browns. Our food took some time to arrive but we were glad when it did because it was all so good!! We took our leftovers in containers, bagged. We had a new server closer to the end of our meal and she was exceptionally friendly, making sure we could order more before the kitchen closed should we want to and refilling our waters. The restrooms were clearly labeled and easy to find. My boyfriend and I were seated at a roomy table where we shared a bench. I really liked eating here!

    Prime Rib Loco Moco
    Doug T.

    Highly rated restaurant close to our condo. Didn't realize they have a wait list you can join via Yelp. We joined wait list once we arrived and wait was about 20 minutes. Bit of a line folks waiting to get in. Very spacious table seating. Wide isles and mostly tables for 4. There are large picnic style tables around the side for large groups. Nice portion size of crab cakes but looked a little burnt. Tasty tho. Fairly hefty English muffin. Poach egg cooked to perfection. Crispy and tender tater tots were the star of the show! Asparagus was perfectly cooked but portion could be a bit more generous. Big slice of prime rib, requested medium rare but came slightly more done but not bad. Decent tenderness and flavor. Sauce a little salty but the mushrooms and rice tames the saltiness. Over easy eggs cooked perfectly. Espresso martini didn't impress. Tasted like vodka poured into coffee. Bloody Mary was good but not spectacular. Came with two olives and lemon wedge. Still tasty. Had a good meal overall. Given the very large portions they offer good value for the big eaters. Didn't try their pancakes which are highly praised by reviews. We ordered... Crab Cake Benedict Tater tots, asparagus, sauce on the side Espresso Martini Prime Rib Loco Moco Medium rare Bloody Mary I would come back given they serve you a lot of food which is important in my book

    INCREDIBLE food, amazing service, and very casual vibes. I found Yogurstory on Tik Tok and was drawn by the Ube Pancakes, which did NOT disappoint. The staff was so kind and our food came quickly. It was a little bit of a wait and definitely busy, but for good reason! I fear this establishment is a new staple any time we find ourselves in Honolulu.

    Everytime I go to Oahu, this is a must go - a staple if you will, of my Hawaii experience. Service is always impeccable, and there's always a line/wait time, so make sure to account for that! Food came out in reasonable time, and they had so much flavor! Be prepared for some Hawaiian sized portions as well! Ambiance was a classic diner feel with a modern Hawaiian twist. Highly recommend any of the bennys and the Ube pancakes :)

    House Special Fried Rice, Prime Rib Loco Moco

    My family & I dined here for my birthday & had a great time. Make sure to add yourself to the Yelp Waitlist because there is usually a wait. Friendly customer service, great food & delicious mimosa options. Unfortunately, a few of our dishes were wrong so ensure you double check the receipt. The portions here are huge! Be prepared to take home leftovers. Ube Pancakes: What they are famous for & rightfully so. Delicious, fluffy, amazing ube flavor. Prime Rib Loco Moco: My hun loved this! So tender. House Special Fried Rice: Extra side of Portuguese Sausages. Tasty! We were obsessed with the PS we had to get more.

    Crab cake Benedict
    Kathy M.

    Each portion here are huge, but as a foodie who would order crab cake benedict everytime i see on the menu; this place is quite disappointed, crab cake contained more fake crab (up to 80%) than real crab therefore too sweet. Though the fries (not house potato) were great, crispy and flavorful. I also love the salad dressing that came with the crab cake dish. Overall i took 1 star off for the crab cake itself. My husband ordered Hawaiian loco moco, he liked it but again huge portion.

    prime rib veggie rice
    EM H.

    Years ago, I saw someone post on Facebook a photo of YogurStory's ube pancakes and was immediately intrigued by the hotcakes covered in a vibrantly deep purple sauce. Needless to say, when we made our way back to Oahu in September, 2023, I knew that I had to brunch here. That day was with my cousin, Michelle, and family on the morning of Tuesday, September 5, 2023. Contrary to what one might understandably assume from the eatery's name, YogurStory is no longer a simple yogurt shoppe. In fact, on the day of our visit, I didn't see any yogurt listed in the menu offerings. They have, though, become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors alike as one of Honolulu's hottest breakfast/brunch Asian bistros. Nestled in the heart of Honolulu, although the restaurant offers free parking in their on-site lot, spaces are limited and tend to fill up quickly, so be prepared to wait for something to free up or to opt for metered parking on surrounding streets. The venue's spacious interior welcomes guests to a brightly lit and clean space for dining. YogurStory's menu serves aloha fusion fare, blending Hawaiian flavours with Asian-inspired twists. Creative dishes are crafted to enchant the palate with delectable dishes as well as dazzle the eyes with artful presentations with vibrantly colourful touches. From the first glance to the last bite, offerings are a feast for every sense. Below are what we ordered: Eddy, Michelle and I started with indulgent caffeinated iced drinks from the espresso bar section of the menu; 2 taro lattes ($5.75 each), one regular and another with a milk alternative like oat or soy milk, and macadamia nut latte ($6.25). The beverages were delightful. prime rib skillet ($18.50) - Eddy ordered this hearty skillet of tater tots topped with prime rib bites, veggies, gravy and two over easy eggs. He appreciated the generous portions of meat and enjoyed that the crispy potatoes absorbed the buttery, garlicky juices and gravy. porkbelly oinker ($15.95) - Michelle went with this house specialty, topped with scrambled eggs. The dish had a nice balance of sweet and savoury notes and the chicharrones added another level of flavour and texture. veggie omelet ($14.50) - Unfortunately, DJ was unimpressed by this omelet with bell pepper, mushrooms, onion and zucchini. Lacking in alluring flavour he found the beaten egg concoction. prime rib veggie rice ($18.50) - Michelle and Eddy shared this medley of veggies with prime rib, rice and an over easy egg. Some of the chunks of meat were substantially fatty. ube pancake ($13.95) - Although listed as a single pancake, the serving is actually a generous stack of at least two or three, maybe even more. The fluffy Okinawan sweet potato pancakes, covered in that rich, beautiful purple sauce that captivated me, perfectly showcased the exotic taste of both ube and coconut. To be honest, I have never been fond of pancakes, but, yes, I went to YogurStory specifically for this breakfast item and it did not disappoint. In fact, I LOVED every single bite, so ono! These pancakes are a must try, especially for ube and/or coconut lovers. Truly a standout dish for its unique flavour and visual appeal, they are unlike any other pancakes. Service was attentive. knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the warm ambiance and overall dining experience. We will definitely be back - I need more of those ube pancakes!!

    We have been here several times and the food usually hits. But the few times from January until now, it's slacking. It's so disappointing. I have been hoping to just think it's a fluke but it was not good today. We waited for about 20 minutes. Not the worst. Got seated and the waiter got to us in about 5. Not bad. There were busy. We immediately ordered. Got the ube stack pancakes, got the pork loco moco, onion rings and truffle Parmesan fries. Also got the croissant sandwich and the omelette. Every was cold. Barely warm, like I was sitting there for a long time. The onion rings were wet tasting and over all not good. The fries were perfect. The fried rice didn't have the Same tastes as last time. The loco moco was off too. Perfect over medium egg, but also Cold as well. The ube pancakes didn't taste as good as usual doing to be cold and feeling if as they sat for a long time and had the burnt grill taste on them. I know it was busy, this place is usually kicking, but we aren't sure if the wait is worth it and trying to find parking if the food is going to keep being like this. Food was presented pretty. But other than that it's not the same.

    If my mom loved it. it's a hit! Good time and so generous. They did not hold back! The wait was not long at all worth a try at least once or thrice.

    We ordered takeout from YogurSotry on a Saturday morning around 10 AM. When we arrived, there were a big line waiting outside...so glad for the takeout order and not to wait. Got our pancakes, a side of hash brown, a side of Portuguese sausage and went home. Each pancake order came with 3 pancakes: big pancakes that I was only able to finish half, it all came with two generous jars of Ube pancake sauce, sweet but not too sweet. We really enjoyed the Ube pancakes. It was soft, moist, and when you pour on the Ube sauce. It was thick and creamy sweet...really hit the spot. The two sides that we ordered, hashbrowns in Portuguese sausages were equally delicious. We will be back! Pay attention to your pick up order: we ordered 2 plates of Ube pancakes, and they only gave us one at first until we told them that one is missing.

It's a small, but very kitschy little dining room that fits at most 20 tables so definitely go early or pack your patience as you wait for an opening. However, the service is fast, but friendly and they are able to turn the tables with extreme proficiency and also making you feel welcomed. The items to get at Aloha Kitchen are its souffle pancakes and loco moco. The souffle pancakes is essentially the size of the plate that it came on, but because of the airness and lightness of it's execution, you leave feeling full but not weighted down by normal carbs. The recommendation is the coconut macadamia nut pancake with its unique combination of flavor and textures. The other local item is their loco moco. Get it in its tradition form with the hamburger patty with an egg over easy, but add the spam fried rice over the white rice. The combination of flavors along with its terrific gravy makes this a can't miss item on your stay in Hawaii. The one thing to be aware of is, the will announce the name quickly and only a few times and if you're not present after the first few announcements, you'll be marked as a "no show" and will have to go back to the end of the line, so definitely wait out front if you're there any later than opening. Otherwise, in a sea of numerous breakfast spots in Waikiki, Aloha Kitchen really does stand out. I only wish they had a bigger space, but wonder if that would take away from the charm of this space.

Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
