Stopped in for the legendary Okinawan Ube pancakes… what a delight! Generous portion, light and fluffy, and the delicious purple ube sauce - just perfect! The portion was enough for two of us (and we couldn’t finish). Polite friendly service made the whole casual dining experience 10/10!

We had the Ube pancakes and they were absolutely delicious. The portion size is so big. We shared it between 2 of us and still couldn’t finish them all. Definitely recommend giving them a try

If you're looking for a spot that truly captures the heart of local island flavor, Kolohe Cafe is the place. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with that warm, laid-back aloha vibe that makes you feel like family. The food? Unreal. Everything tastes fresh, hearty, and made with love. Their breakfast plates are stacked and satisfying -- fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and generous portions that definitely don't leave you hungry. The local-style plates hit different too -- packed with flavor, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. What really stands out is the consistency and care they put into every dish. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. It's comfort food done right -- simple, flavorful, and filling. Service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming. Whether you're grabbing breakfast with the family or meeting up with friends, Kolohe Cafe delivers every time.

Best LocoMoco (kolohe moco) we've had yet!! Well worth the trip to the North Shore. Plus the folks work here are super friendly and helpful. Oh, and you will not leave here hungry!!

The loco moco was the best I've had. The beef patty was crispy but not dry, the gravy was flavorful, and the rice texture was great too (not mushy). Mushrooms and onions were also a good add on to liven up a dish that can be monotonous. The owners were very friendly.

So people say dis da best Loco Moco? Ok, so I drive up and put it to da test. No joke, guys. This is legit! You can sense love and pride in their work, you can see and taste it. Everything from the flavorful gravy with sautéed mushrooms and onions to the homemade patties using local beef are spot on and well worth da drive. Add garlic shrimp from next door for an awesome combo!

I like to think I am pretty experienced with plate lunches and I have to say this is the BEST LOCO MOCO ON ISLAND. 100% recommend stopping by this place. First, we ordered the Kolohe Loco Moco. It is so flavorful without being overly salty. I always get it with mushrooms and onions and maaaann I couldn't believe how good it was. This is the second time I've gotten it and it blew my mind both times. Second, we ordered the Tonkatsu Plate and this was a star too! The meat was tender and the outside was thin and crispy. Plus the sauce was so yummy! They do have tables to sit at but we chose to take it home and everything tasted just as good after a 10 minute car ride. The owners (I assume) were so welcoming and nice and they had their son with them which really inspired me to write this review. I love to support local businesses and they're really doing it right here. Overall, you can't go wrong with whatever you order.
