I am not sure why anyone would question the Hukilau staff's hospitality because we visited the cafe yesterday for lunch and everyone there was unbelievably nice to four everyday tourists. The Hukilau burger is phenomenal and highly recommended. It comes with teriyaki beef, fried egg, lettuce, tomato and onion. I encourage anyone who is in the Lai'e area (perhaps visiting... more

We been to Oahu three times in the past two years and are returning again in December and the Hukilau is a great place with great owners and staff. We were treated like friends from the get-go! The food is very good and the breakfast pancakes...out of this world! Superb local food. Thank you for treating this Iowa visitor with... more

Just got back from my dream Hawaii vacation. Went to visit a dear "howlie" friend of mine who lives in the next town over from Laie. She suggested that we go eat at the Hukilau Cafe and we were not disappointed! Service was great - the waitress called my friend by name when she came in the door and knew... more

The food here was fantastic. I had the roast pork plate with two scoops of rice and one of macaroni salad. It was great--I even liked the macaroni salad which I don't usually like. You must go here! Look for a small yellow sign on the main road directing you into a residential neighborhood where it is located. more

My wife and had breakfast there our last day on Oahu, at the suggestion of a family member who had discovered the restaurant during an earlier trip. When I travel, I love to find quaint, "local" diners, and Hukilau Cafe was both of these. The food was good (not excellent - but good), proportions generous and pricing reasonable. The atmosphere... more

We went to the Hukilau this morning we read all the reviews and thought well lets try it. We are so glad that we did. We are not local, but we were treated very good. I don't know why the others thought they were mean to white people, maybe your not a nice person. We had a great breakfast and... more

Food is decent, but a little overpriced. Service is good if you go with locals, otherwise they won't bat an eye turning you away. more

Numba one local favorite ... the only problem is that they're SO popular that there's never enough room for parking and not enough tables to seat everybody. :) more
