    Koa Pancake House closes at 2pm daily, so go for breakfast or lunch. Early breakfast can be crowded, so I try to go between 10am and noon and usually get right in. Weekends are especially crowded.
    Everything I've eaten there has been good and I don't know your own favorite foods, so just check the menu and try it out!
    The staff has all been there for ages, and they're terrific too.

    That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

      Thanks! I like most breakfast foods so most of the menu will work! I am a complete home fries nut so that is of much interest! Funny, when my parents came to visit way back in 1996 they actually ate there twice when we were working and raved about it!

        I ate at this chain in Shanghai. I liked it. Looking forward to eating there.

        Name of the Place is Jin Din Rou. Drove past Kaheka and King St. yesterday and saw it is open. Haven't seen anything in the media or here about the place. Anyone?

        Also this is one of my favorite threads and I felt like bumping it.

        I've been back to Jade Dynasty at Ala Moana and still like that place.

          Heard mixed reviews so far. The general opinion was to wait until the place had a chance to settle in, get all their menu items available, etc.

          One review I've seen so far:

            Has anybody been to Bernini Honolulu yet?

              OK, I went there. Dumplings are good enough but some other items were not very good. Could see going there to kill time with a few dumplings if I was in the neighborhood but wouldn't make it a destination for a meal.

                I've been to a couple of the new places in town like Bernini and Nanzan Giro Giro.

                Unlike many Yelp reviewers, I wasn't that impressed with either place:

                  Something new. I was coming back from my morning run when I was surprised to see a new place opening in what was once Yugen, a somewhat upscale Japanese restaurant across from Keeaumoku Walgreen’s. Kickin Kajun seemed to have replaced it overnight. Sign says it opens 4/23/2012, and features crawfish and other shellfish, including blue crab and three types of oysters. Seems this is part of the crawfish trend that’s sprouting up around Honolulu. Never had crawfish before. Caught them “small keed time” but never ate them.

                    It's the seafood version of chicken wings, the newest contender for biggest fraud in the epicurian world.

                      The crayfish look like little lobsters.
                      They can inhabit freshwater creeks.
                      I've seen them in very small creeks.
                      Properly fried , they can be very tasty.

                        Last week I saw a Subway sign at this location. I don't know if it is open for business yet.

                          It's open now.

                            This establishment isn't new per say but has morphed again and for the better!
                            It's been everything from a Woody's Hot Dog joint to a plate-lunch/sandwich spot to now a descent eating restaurant.
                            Cafe Pulama at the Bishop Museum has stepped it up with a daily menu of great fare and a Sunday Brunch that's very enjoyable.


                            Great Brunch!

                            And Shots of the Shaheen Exhibit!

                              Noticed that the old Arby's location in the Ala Moana Shopping Center has a Jack in the Box that has opened sometime this week (this is street level, diamond head, mountain side of the shopping center, close to Barnes and Nobles and under Shirokiya).

                                Will they run out of chocolate cream puffs?
