The 38 Best Restaurants in Honolulu, Hawai‘i | Eater

"Moké’s began in 2004 in Kailua as a homey breakfast spot and built a following around its liliko‘i pancakes — a fluffy stack draped in a silky passionfruit sauce. Since then, it’s expanded to Japan and Kaimukī. Both the Kailua and Kaimukī locations offer a cheerful atmosphere and menu favorites, including house-made corned beef hash, a loco moco with the hamburger patty swapped out for prime rib, and those pancakes, still a must order. Know before you go: Both locations are small — get there early to avoid lines, particularly on weekend mornings." - Martha Cheng
