Delicious loco moco, definitely one of the top ones on the island. The lilikoi pancakes were also fantastic—not too sweet, slightly tangy, and very delicious.
Parking is through a paid lot. They do not validate parking but it is very cheap ($0.75 for a half hour, $1.50 for an hour)
Extremely clean bathroom. Apparently the portraits on the wall are real and not AI—confirmed by the waiter that it was one messy photoshoot

It’s been a long time since I have started coming to this place. We probably visit about 3 to 4 times per month and the staff are really nice to us. It’s become a bit of a habit for us to visit.
The food is great. Especially the weekday special. It’s going to go wrong with the price is here. Plus, the staff are so nice.
I definitely recommend that you come if you have a chance. Preferably, before nine or 10 AM because I can’t get pretty busy. You probably won’t be disappointed at all.
They have my stamp of approval

It’s a small local diner with some counter outdoor seating and some tables on the interior. The sound carries indoors so if you have sensitive ears or hearing aids it might be hard to hear the stacking or bussing of plates and cutlery against each other echoing in the restaurant. The local style offerings (Portuguese sausage, fried rice, lilikoi sauce) made this place unique and attractive.

Their lilikoi pancakes are a must try! The butter cream with lilikoi flavor is so delicious, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The pancakes are soft and go so well with the cream. I also tried the Mokapu omelette which tasted good but the portion was a bit small for the price.
There are two outdoor seating areas. I brought my dog and it was a little hot sitting outside but still nice to have the option to dine with him.
Prices are on the higher side. Two pieces of lilikoi pancakes were $16.95. and the Mokapu omelette was $18.95. It’s a bit pricey for breakfast but worth visiting at least once for the pancakes.
Parking is in the plaza parking lot you’ll need to pay and the restaurant is located on the second floor. Not sure if there’s an elevator.

The moco’s were great. But the lilikoi pancakes were really good. Friend recommended getting the cream on the side which ended being a great call as the cream subdued the lilikoi flavor.

Moke’s is one of our favorite breakfast and lunch spot in Kaimuki. All of the staff are friendly and attentive, making the entire meal such a relaxing and pleasant experience. We love the Lilikoi pancakes (so fluffy and ono), their Loco Moco is one of my favorite on the island, the Reuben sandwich always satisfies my cravings for a NYC Reuben sandwich. The Moke’s proprietary blend of coffee goes perfectly with any of the breakfast offerings. For breakfast, try to get there before 9:00am or be prepared to wait a bit to get a table because Moke’s is a super popular spot for the locals and tourists.

Excellent breakfast ensemble. Friendly and attentive staff. Easy parking. It wasn’t crowded during our visit and got seated right away. The Lilikoi pancakes were great but I would recommend getting the syrup on the side in case you’re not into tart like flavors. I like the Portuguese sausage the best. It was sweet and spicy. Just the perfect breakfast setup.

This is the best breakfast we have tried on the islands. We liked it so much we went back 3 times. The first time we got the traditional Hawaiian breakfast with Banana pancakes it was all so delicious! The next couple times we got the Lilikoi pancakes those were amazing. The sauce is tasty the Lilikoi is not overpowering it is just the right amount of sweetness. The pancakes themselves are delicious, light and fluffy. A must try if you are able at any point on your trip.

Good breakfast spot. Cute interior, small space so you might have a bit of a wait on the weekends during brunch hours. Staff were friendly, service was quick. The portions are big and very filling so come hungry!
