Liliha Bakery

This is a bakery located on the second floor of Macy's near the restrooms in Ala Moana Shopping Mall. They have delcious chiffon cakes - my favorites are the guava and passion fruit - pillowy soft with taste. The cream filled pastries are good also - huge assortment (need to watch your calories :) because they look delicious and tempting that you want to try everything). The restaurant has an extensive menu that fits everyone's needs. Portions are good and they can accommodate your selection to your dietary needs. Food is served temperature hot, good food presentation, food smell was aromatic and service was excellent. Our server checked on us constantly to make sure we were happy with our meal. The rolls are fried with butter and absolutely delicious. Prices are good for its portions, taste, food quality and service.

The server was great the only critique was we ordered a strawberry lemonade and we were given strawberry lemonade tea. On the menu it says they have a strawberry lemonade but I guess they only sell tea. Kinda sad we are stuck with tea we didn’t want. They should make changes to the menu so people don’t get misled. But the food was good. Waffard and pork roast were delicious. Rolls and liliha jelly were great as well. Might bring some jelly home.

Visiting all the way from Texas.. Food was absolutely delicious! I had cheeseburger and the sauce was amazing. Husband had chicken and waffles, it was delicious! We ordered a scrambled egg on the side and it was so softest egg we've ever had! Waitress was ao nice. Atmosphere was delightful.. Definitely recommend

This is a really large bakery that was recommended to try the Loco Moco - smashed hamburger steak with gravy, rice and egg. A Hawaiian specialty to be had at any time of the day - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don’t knock it till you try it! There was plenty of food, plenty of gravy and the hamburger was great flavour. There was a queue system with name for the table that didn’t take too long. You can also make reservations. Food came with their signature fried bread bun and jam (tastes like strawberry ice cream sauce)… delicious but probably soaked in butter! Staff were great.

We visited for dinner this time as a party of four and were promptly accommodated. Our server, Berlyn, was AMAZING—big shout out to her! She was kind, fast, and attentive, refilled our coffee, and offered dessert options with a smile. We loved our food; I had the jumbo garlic shrimp saimin, and it was absolutely delicious. While our dinner experience was great, things completely changed when we went to the bakery. The three ladies at the counter were not friendly at all, giving short and vague answers. I understand they might have had a stressful day, but unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this behavior here. It’s a shame that the lack of customer service in the bakery area overshadows the otherwise wonderful dining experience.

The food was incredibly delicious — fresh, flavorful, and the portions were very generous. We left feeling completely full and satisfied! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Such a cozy, welcoming place with great vibes. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be coming back

This was our first experience. The food is great quality - especially the pork belly and Eggs Florentine! They were quite busy so it was hard to walk through the bakery section and took awhile to order as there was no organized fashion to a line for ordering. But we would go there again!

It’s a great restaurant for family and friends. Good for any time , all day breakfast service You can order the pastry like coco puff as dessert if you dine in even though it’s not on the menu If you are getting the locomoco, put ketchup over the egg and eat it all FYI, my egg is cooked easy over. together, that’s the way we eat here Roast pork locomoco with fried rice was so good

Frankly, I prefer this location rather than the one on Nimitz. I like the overall thought of not worrying about cramped parking spaces (depending where you park at the mall) or long wait times just to be seated. The atmosphere here is calm and collective; away from the busy food courts and other eateries upstairs. Each time my family and I would come, we're always directly seated and all our food orders come out together and on time. My husband got me hooked on their cobb salad with chicken and it's the only thing I look forward to getting each and every time!

I got the Coco Puff. It was good. It's very messy though as when I first bit into it, the chocolate oozed out on my hands. I suggest you eat it a bit more carefully Yk? It's pretty good but last time I tried it it was bigger. 8.8/10

Jason, our server was friendly and meticulous in bringing ice waters, hot water with lemons. The atmosphere was somewhat quiet, but not so busy, and pleasant for conversations. Their famous butter rolls were great with their jelly...very sweet and buttery. We ordered clam chowder, rich and filled with good amount of clams, chunky potatoes and herbs. As far the grilled shrimp, it was seasoned well with a smokiness flavor from being charred. I like when they charred their hamburger too...same affect! When you peel the shrimp and dipped in a slightly spicy sauce...kicks it up a notch...makes you go mmmmm yummy! I chose salad greens, but the corn is the star more than the rice...almost buttery. Come on down...$21.50, not bad price...Ciao!

Love the food here. My usual go to is the garlic fried rice with eggs and Portuguese sausage. Usually a large crowd but you can just sign in and wait for them to call you when your table is ready. In the mean time, you can look at all the ono pastries they have for sale.

Went on a Sunday. Waited 20 minutes for a table. The menu prices are a little high but the portions are decent. The mahi-mahi sandwich is good but needs a dipping sauce or more sauce in the sandwich. The burger is good, that's a good choice. It took a little long to get our bill and pay but other than that the service was good. Not too noisy. It's a spacious restaurant, the tables can be spread out a little more. Felt like we were sitting too close to the table next to us.

Friends always encourage me to go to Liliha Bakery. Now I know why. We opted for the one at Macy's in Ala Moana Center so we go shop afterwards. The location is new and beautiful. It was Sunday about 8:30am. We were seated fairly quickly. Coffee delicious although I wanted a bigger cup! Entrees start with the most delicious toasted bread and the crazy neon colored jelly like syrup. Just try it. It's delicious. I almost bought a jar of the syrup to go home. I had the Mac Nut waffle and my husband the Portuguese sausage with eggs and potatoes. I would have opted for the fried rice instead of potatoes but to each his own. We also asked for a Coco Puff which is their signature specialty. Everything was delicious! The waffle was crispy even with syrup. The sausage was better than the one my husband ordered the day before. And the Coco Puff is definitely something to try. They sell boxes in the bakery area by half dozen or dozens. I can see why. Our server was amazing and was in charge of so many large groups I don't know how she kept it all straight. Even the busboy was efficient and checked before he removed any plates. I'm curious to try some of the other locations.

When it comes to Liliha Bakery, I usually skip the diner and head straight for the coco puffs and mochi donuts, but we were hungry and wanted brunch. Honestly, last time I ate in was back at the original location years ago. I ate meat then, we were out partying, and it was 2 AM. I remember it was pretty good. This time, it was 11 AM on a Saturday, and the place was packed with tourists and locals alike. 15 minute wait. Not bad. So, why the three stars? Some of it has to do with the service. We asked for a high chair, the person went to check, and we never saw them again. When I ordered my omelette, I asked for cheddar cheese. I got American cheese, which is disgusting and not actually considered cheese (check the label); maybe they don't have cheddar, but I was never told that. We also rarely saw our waitress. It was busy though, I get that. The rest really has to do with the food which was just okay. Pancake was big but lacked fluff and the syrup lacked flavor. The omelette was overcooked + the cheese. A highlight was the potatoes, which were well seasoned and flavorful. People like the bread and jelly, and I did enjoy when the former arrived warm, but I've never been a fan of whatever the jelly is made of. For the price, especially considering the location, it's not bad, but I left feeling let down by the meal and making plans to get an omelette elsewhere the next day.

The little bread and jam they bring to the table to start everyone off is TO DIE FOR! Seating is nice and wait wasn't too bad at all. The waffles were super tasty with the perfect amount of sweet and plain/fresh not too over the top like some can get

This Liliha location has plenty of parking and easy access when you're at Ala Moana. I haven't eaten the savory food, but have stopped by the bakery to grab some delicious pastries throughout the years. The puffs are so good! The pies, light cakes and other items are also very good.

Located on the 3rd floor of Macy's at Ala Moana Center, this place offers local-style comfort food in a bright, lively, and comfortable dining room. Unlike the tiny original on Kuakini, this location is huge with lots of booths, tables, and a long counter if you want the classic diner vibe. Even so, expect a 10-15 minute wait, especially on weekends and holidays. (Pro tip: check in at the tablet up front and they'll text or call when your table is ready.) The Food: Generous portions, consistent quality. We've been here at least a dozen times over the years and have never had a bad meal. Breakfast: The omelettes are my go-to. Fluffy eggs, never overcooked, perfectly seasoned. And yes, they have brown rice. Coffee is bottomless. Lunch/Dinner: My personal favorite is the Oxtail Soup--loaded with tender oxtail, plenty of peanuts, and love the abundance of Chinese parsley. The Fried Chicken and Loco Moco are also excellent, but fair warning: food coma guaranteed. And no matter when you come--breakfast, lunch, or dinner--you can't resist their Grilled Butter Rolls with jelly. I dare you to eat just one. Service: Friendly and welcoming. During peak hours it might take a few minutes for your server to get to you, but once the order's in, the whole team hustles and food comes out surprisingly quick. The staff works hard, and it shows. Honestly, once I've got my coffee (or wine) in hand, I don't mind kicking back and soak in the lively vibes. Happy Eating!!

This location was inside the Macys department store in Ala Moana. Was craving just only their famous mac potato salad. Ordered from the bakery because they sell the mac potato salad ala carte in the cooler section. It was $6 ish for 2 scoops it looks like of the salad stored in a plastic to go container. I also ordered a guava roll chiffon cake. The mac potato salad was ok. It didn't have the umami flavor I was searching for in a mac salad. I was hungry so I ate most of it. It had raisins in it. Its controversial to have raisins in a dish etc but this didn't bother me. The guava chiffon roll was delicious but tad too sweet for me. The guava taste is there though. Staff here were alot of filipinos looks like. They were friendly and helpful. They were kind enough to refund me the 2nd mac potato salad with no issues. I bought 2 in case it was really good and have it for dinner but the salad was ok. I like the location in Waikiki better than this location for the views.

Find this place inside of Macy's at Ala Moana Shopping Center. 3rd floor. Plenty of signs, you can't miss the excitement of diners going to this place. It's got great ambience. Open area with plenty of comfortable seats and lighting. Local comfort food at its best. This place is popular for a reason with locals and tourist alike. I think this place shines when you're here for breakfast. The loco moco is a favorite that is always popular. Seasoned hamburger patties with eggs your style. Drenched with brown gravy over white rice. Yum. The breakfast sandwiches are also winners. Breakfast anytime of the day, you can't beat that.

Conveniently located inside Ala Moana Shopping Center, Macy side with plenty of free parking, Liliha Bakery is a solid choice for a nice meal with friends, family or a large gathering. If you're planning a Sundays morning breakfast, take heed as th can get really busy, so it's best to arrive early, and be sure your whole party is present and ready when checking in. The atmosphere is lively, and the spot is well worth a visit if you're looking to start your day with something fresh and satisfying.

This restaurant is conveniently located inside a shopping mall, which makes it very easy to access. It opens as early as 7 AM, and when I visited around 8 AM, it was already quite busy. The space is divided into a bakery and a restaurant. Since I was alone, I sat at the counter, and within just a few minutes, the whole place was full. I ordered the loco moco, which was delicious, although the meat was a little on the tough side. After my meal, I took out some malasadas. They offer many varieties, each generously filled with fruit or cream. Out of all the malasadas I've tried in Hawaii, this place ranks among the top. The lilikoi flavor in particular stood out--it's not something you often see at other shops, and it felt uniquely Hawaiian. I would love to come back again.

Liliha bakery is a favorite of mine when visiting Honolulu. My most favorite thing is their butter biscuits and red jelly. Then from their bakery my most favorite item is their coco cream puffs with Chantilly topping. This one is conveniently located walking distance from Ala Moana hotel where we stayed. This one is a standard coffee shop, no frills restaurant type of setting. Of course the one in International Market Place is so much nicer. Their bakery section is loaded with their usual delicious baked goods. The birthday cake in my pictures was the Rainbow cake-it was moist and very good. Their baked goods make for good treats to take when visiting family. Loco moco was pretty good. You really can't go wrong with this dish. Portions are big enough to share. Overall, prices are pretty reasonable too. We got lost on our first time there. If you take the ramp from the hotel to the mall, walk straight towards Macy's and take the garage stairs up to the third floor parking lot. You can't get to it when Macy's is closed. For convenience, this is probably a better location. For ambience and a nice outdoor Hawaiian ambience, the one in International Market Place is much better.

Out of town relatives wanted to meet for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Grateful to my CIL who made a res in advance for a party of thirteen. Location is spacious. We had ample room with two separate tables. My heart was set on Smoked Pork Belly Loco Moco. However, Server informed us that pork is not available yet at this location. I opted for Loco Moco Fried Rice and was told the loco moco is not ready yet. I would've been less perturbed if our Server informed us in advance or cover with a sign indicating "Out" I had to go for Garlic Fried Rice, Sunny side Eggs and Portuguese Sausage. Breakfast satisfied my appetite. Grilled Butter Rolls with Jelly are to die for! Container is much smaller for the jelly. My thoughts, "Ay sus! Roll no fit in the tiny container. Must pour some jelly over the roll. Here we go!" I poured a little jelly on the roll. Our Server of Filipino ancestry wasn't fully alert or observant to customers' needs. She didn't notice we lacked any utensils for our meals. 12 of the 13 guests are of Filipino ethnicity. When we asked her to bring utensils for our table, she asked, "How many more?" Shocked by her response. We informed her, "We have none." Then she said, "Oh!" We're surprised with the nonchalant response. No apologies. I'm thinking, "Are you kidding me? This is not a Kamayan feast where bare hands are the norm. We're in a local style restaurant where we require utensils." After hiccup in customer service was resolved, we're able to catch up on family life and future plans. I prefer a different Server who is more attentive and alert while ethnicity doesn't matter.

We went to @lilihabakery for breakfast on the 3rd floor of Macy's at the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Blessa and Shella were our servers. Hubby and I both had coffee. We shared the Mac Waffard, which had the Mac nut waffle, custard, blueberries, strawberries, mixed nuts, and whipped cream. We also shared a side order of Portuguese sausages and a fruit bowl. Just enough food for us. At the bakery, we decided to buy a Chocolate Croissant to go. Yummy!

What a beautiful restaurant! Nicely decorated, modern and comfortable. The old Pineapple Room location at Macy's Ala Moana is a great spot for a reasonably priced meal with good portions and above average local comfort foods. From breakfast plates like steak and eggs to mushroom chicken plate for lunch and even prime rib, steak and lobster for dinner. Their teriyaki burger is exceptional. Huge, double patty, loaded with lettuce and fresh onions on a brioche bun. Should get recognized as a top burger! Comes with potatoes and either mac or green salad (don't bother). If you want dessert, it's a bakery first and foremost. You can order dessert from the menu or head to the bakery to get a box of delicious, fresh pastries. The service at the restaurant is great, with smiles and attentive servers, although it can get quite busy. If you're looking for an oasis, away from the crazy food court (and not much more expensive, these days) come here, enjoy a peaceful quality meal in a nice setting.

I'm kind of disappointed with my recent visit. I love coming here for a nice lunch/dinner with family and it was always a nice atmosphere. Last night was a mediocre experience, mostly front of house. Came here to ask the hostess how long is the wait for 7 people (with a baby). My party is not with me yet so it was just my husband and I with our baby. No greeting, no smile from this hostess named Avana (? from name tag). She answered lazily "there's no wait". So I said "that's great". She then walked away from the desk and said something I couldn't understand and walked away so fast so I thought she was telling us to follow her, since she said no wait. Followed her to the back part of the restaurant and she started moving tables and saw us and she was like "I said one moment". So we went back to the front and just sat by the waiting area. Then she came to me with the same smug look that she has and said "are all of you here?". Not exactly sure what she meant because she said there was no wait and, we usually get seated without everyone present in this location based on previous experience. So I asked her what she meant. She then repeated it and asked if all of our party is present. I told her no not yet. She then said "let me know when they're here" and walked away. Now this could have been ok if there is good customer service involved but nope. Like why are you such in a bad mood and trying to rub it on other people lol. So my friends arrived visiting all the way from Chicago. I had to get this hostess' attention twice because she seemed not to pay attention to people by the front desk. Then when I finally got her attention she was like "oh they're here?" then just walked away towards the back. When we followed her, she just stood there, not even telling us where to sit or if our server will be with us shortly. Then left. My friends were turned off with how she acted. No warmth at all. 3 stars because food and server were good. I don't like leaving low and bad reviews but this location needs to know. This type of worker needs coaching. She doesn't belong in customer service if she can't even deal nicely with people. Please bring back the usual ladies who greet us and show us to our seats. Hopefully we get a different hostess on our next visit. Definitely turning around if she's the one working front of house.

This place was a very great it's located inside Macys on the second floor. The service was great unfortunately they were out of the prime rib but everything else turned out good. The garlic toast with the spread was delicious and a must! I had the loco moco with regular rice and it was delicious fried rice was also an option. My boyfriend also tried the Kimchee Fried rice and eggs and took a bite and it was delicious. I would definitely come back next time I visit.

Came here with the family. We tried to order the prime rib but we were told they were out. Then we tried to order the steak and they had to go see if they had steak left. Uncle almost had to find another choice. That's why I knocked off one Star for that. I ordered the kimchi fried rice with Portuguese sausage. It was good. The bread and jelly was good too that they serve. But I did notice the jelly was in small containers and had to use a knife to get it out. Before they used to give refills on the bread but they stopped doing that. The place was well lit and was a great place to go with the family. The service was good besides them running out of prime rib. I would go back again for sure

Update on Liliha Bakery Ala Moana today I bought dessert Cinnamon rolls . Thanks to my sister Deborah .P turning me on to this Cinnamon Rolls . Now whenever I'm at Liliha Bakery I need to buy them it's very buttery with lots of cinnamon and not to sweet with a little cream cheese frosting

Hubby's fave place to have breakfast. He usually gets the same thing and coffee. Service is excellent. Staffs are super friendly. Wonderful place to come have breakfast and do your morning walk.

So good!! We stumbled upon this place while looking for a dress in Macy's. Walked up and was told it would be a 20min wait but it ended up being only 5min. Was seated and ordered right away. Our server was pleasant and very efficient. He brought us some complementary rolls with some jam that we all enjoyed. My youngest was thrilled to see garlic fried rice on the menu served with eggs and meat of choice. My oldest of course ordered chocolate chip pancakes, hubby ordered the corned beef hash and a side of Portuguese sausage. I tried the loco moco and I'm happy to say we all enjoyed it very much. Next time I'd order the loco moco with garlic fried rice because it was delicious. The bakery while walking in was very temping but no one wanted to carry any of it while shopping. Lol!

I'm happy to try this location in Ala Moana. This bakery is one of my favorite restaurants in Honolulu. I ordered miso butter fish, and it was so good I finished my plate. Hubby ordered grilled mahi-mahi sandwich. It was tasty and delicious. The fresh strawberry lemonade was so refreshing. Our waitress was very attentive and very helpful and very nice. The ambience is casual noise level moderate to high. This place is touristy since it is attached to the mall plenty of parking outside and I'm so happy the parking is free. The only concern I have is their bakery, which also is located inside the restaurant when you want just a slice of the cake. You cant just have a slice. You have to buy the whole cake itself unlike the location in international marketplace you can buy slices of Dobash cake or Chantilly cream cake.

My family and I (7 of us total) came in on a Saturday night around 7:30 pm after trying our luck at several other eateries in Ala Moana with no luck and were seated right away. Everyone was starving! Our server was very pleasant and attentive throughout service. The kitchen were out of several items but everyone was able to order something that satisfied thier hunger. I had the oxtail soup and it was absolutely delicious! There was a lot of meat, and fat lol but I was very happy with my choice. My previous experience at the Pearl City location left me thinking I would never eat at Liliha again because of the high prices and less than filling portions, but after eating at the Ala Moana location I would definitely return here.

Amazing!!! With Liliha Bakery expanded almost all of Oahu what not to love when it's Ala Moana for convenience... so honestly this isn't my favorite location just bc I will always love the original site since I used work Kuakini Medical Centee BUT I do love that the workers here that makes it even more enjoyable (and yes, they are mainly Filipinos, of course). They are courteous, quick, clean and always accurate with the orders. This location is quite busy if you can just imagine.since both locals (and outer islanders) and tourists come here to dine. This time our party of four waited just 15 min after signing in on a Saturday brunch hour (not bad at all). They sat us and served us all within another 15 min. Of course you have to have their hamburger steak, rice and potato mac salad with their famous grilled butter rolls...YUM! Other noted dishes are their BLT, oxtail soup, and hamburgers and so much more. Their pancakes and waffles are always fluffy and on point, too. The list is endless. Oh yeah, while everything is rising in cost, it's still affordable to eat here and the size is decent enough to have take home if you are small eater like me. One more thing- take home to share some of their famous Cocoa Puffs, Chantilly cakes, pancake mixes, cookies and etc...Bon Appetite!

This was my first time here at this location, we got here at a perfect time it wasn't too crowded. The server was super fast in taking our order and greeting us. They started us out with the bread and jam. Super good start to our food. I had to try this grilled pork belly it was super juicy and tender... I also got grilled teriyaki chicken sticks. My girlfriend got a Teri burger this was super juicy and tasty of course I had to take a bite. We also ordered the chicken karaage!! Super tender and tasty. This place has a chill vibe and a diner feel, the staff is friendly and helpful with the menu. Food is great and fast to come out to your table. Don't forget to visit the bakery out in front they have lots to choose from, coco puffs,Malasadas and poi mochi donuts are popular here so go early they sell out. This is just to name a few... Check this location out and happy eating...

I came here with my boyfriend and I absolutely love the food here. So much to choose from. I decided to get the chicken 2 pieces. When my food came out, I noticed one of the chicken was burnt a little. I still ate it And didn't want to complain. I was hungry. Service was good. The guy checked up on us. He refilled our drinks. This location seems huge. Come here when it's not too busy because weekends are usually the busiest time to come. I highly recommend eating here. Food is good.

One of the best bakery's in Honolulu. They have multiple locations on the island. Breakfast was hot, fresh and a large portion. Pick out a box of goodies to take home for later. If you are in Honolulu, give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

My family and I had an early dinner here while waiting for pau hana traffic to die down. My brother and I both had the Pork Belly Loco Moco, and my sister in law enjoyed her Mahimahi sandwich. The food was delicious and the portions were so generous we could only finish half our plate. We did enjoy our leftovers at home. The restaurant wasn't too busy which was nice. Atmosphere was great. Mahalo for accommodating us. We'll be back soon.

Liliha Bakery is a great option for brunch when you're in the mall. They are located on the third floor of Macy's. Access to the restaurant can be either through Macy's (when they are open) or from the ocean side garage. You can place your name on the wait list through the hostess or the tablet when no one is available to help. My usual order for brunch is the smoked pork belly. It comes with 2 eggs cooked to your liking and a starch. I order mine with the 5 grain rice. Service here is ok. I prefer going to the original location in Liliha where the aunties and unkles make me feel like I'm a regular diner.

One of my favorite breakfast spots to visit, especially when family and friends are visiting. Liliha Bakery has a nostalgic essence to it that locals love and visitors have to at least try once in their lifetime. Known for their delicious pastries, Cocoa Puffs and poi mochi donuts. This review is for the restaurant located in Macy's at Ala Moana Center. We visited around mid morning so their lunch menu had already started, although I was there for their breakfast items and breakfast is served all day. There can be a bit of a wait since it is located in town and in the shopping center, so just check in on the kiosk and wait until the hostess calls your name to be seated. It can be bustling with conversations but at no point in time did I feel like I couldn't hear myself or my partner speaking. Even with a full house, the service was friendly and we received our items quickly. After ordering and the initial check in once our food arrived, I felt like the service could have been more attentive since the server didn't come back to check on us and I had run out of water so needed to drink from my boyfriends cup. By the time he came back to check on us we were pretty much done with our food. The dishes come with their famous grilled butter roll and sauce to start off, those little things are so darn tasty I wish you could ask for refills lol. We ordered the Loco Moco, Waffard (waffles with custard), side of corned beef hash and a sweetened iced coffee (ice coffee with milk and sugar). The loco moco was delicious and had a nice seasoning and charbroil taste that I look for in my loco moco patty. The waffle in the waffard was crispy even with the custard layers inbetween. With the custard and whip cream, the dish is sweet on its own and I didn't need to add any syrup. The corned beef hash was a little salty but not bad. Iced coffee tasted like watered down coffee with milk. Overall a great spot for local food and am always happy to dine at again.

When my husband went to pick up Liliha for us, I was skeptical and didn't think I'd enjoy any of their pastries. I asked for the poi mochi donut since I know that's a staple, but really didn't expect to love it as much as I did. I got one almost every single day after that!! I'm still thinking about it. I personally wasn't a huge fan of their cream puffs, but that's okay because I'll be thinking about the poi mochi donut forever.

Been going to 3 of their locations for years - original, Nimitz and Ala Moana. To me (and not exactly sure why) but the original location in Liliha is the best. The food tastes better and I enjoy the eating-at-the-counter atmosphere. However, I'll review the Ala Moana location. The food is consistently good here, except....the fish and steak. My go-to is either the Oxtail Soup or Loco Moco; however on several occasions, we've ordered the "Mahi" and I don't think it was actually Mahi. It looked questionable and even looked like they stacked 2 pieces of thin white fish on each other to make it look like it was Mahi. Anyways, we'll never order it again. The steak is also not something I'd order again. Even though it's charbroiled, it comes out looking very gray. Today we had the regular fried rice loco moco and the special roast pork loco moco. Both were tasty. Service is always good here and the servers are friendly and attentive. The food comes out pretty quick and is usually piping hot when it arrives at the table.

It's nice to have this liliha bakery in a big department store for shoppers to enjoy while shopping. Once the pineapple room. This restaurant/bakery can get busy during the lunch/dinner rush hour. Food Menu is same like all the other locations but prices might differ. Food tastes the same like the other location. I still think that liliha bakery makes the best hotcake! Small take out container was given to me for a rather large piece of leftover that I had to chop up, which I didn't like. Service here wasn't spectacular but it was fairly clean and nice.

I've never been to this location-lots of my friends have recommended it. This one is located on the 3rd floor of Macy's store Ala Moana. Lots of parking on top on this Saturday. When you enter there a bakery section where you can buy the bakery's famous pastries including the Coco Puff. The cookies are great - love those palmiers and butter rolls. If you want to eat at the restaurant, it's no reservations- you put yourself on the wait list stand in front of the dining area. Make sure everyone in your party is there or you'll have to wait. It was quite busy around 11 am. The menu is quite extensive and there are daily specials. Want breakfast? There's waffles, omelets, as pancakes. Then there's regular entrees. One of us got the fried rice special ($19.50) and said it was really good. Another got the ox tail soup ($26.95) which came in a good sized bowl and 2 scoops rice and butter rolls. I saw you can add saimin for an up charge. I got the grilled mahi lunch plate ($20.50). It came with rice, corn and green salad or mac salad and butter rolls. It was a good sized portion of fish. Very moist and tasty. I must add those butter rolls that came with the lunches were yum! They were toasted and very buttery ! The menu will satisfy any craving or taste- it's huge! Prices run on the average of $20-$26. I'm not sure if they have different pricing for dinner. The staff were very nice- even though we kind of overstayed talking ( apologies!). One thing though, it's noisy- but def coming back here again!

The locomoco breakfast is the best! Friendly staff. Open and welcoming ambiance. We visited the bakery area after breakfast to find goodies to bring home and enjoy

Liliha Bakery has been my favorite place to get a loco moco for years, now. It is pretty much the only thing I order here! Growing up on Oahu, I of course have had their well known pastries such as the coco puff and their poi mochi doughnuts. I once ordered a peach cake here for my grandmas birthday and it was a bit dry and did not actually have very much of a peach flavor. But this review is for the loco moco! I always order the classic hamburger patty over white rice, with extra gravy all over. And when it is prepared correctly, it is heaven! The hand pressed hamburger patty has a delicious char flavor, and the brown gravy is rich and savory. I wanted to point out that the food quality is a bit inconsistent- we order takeout- and usually when I open my moco box, the yolks are big and runny, and I get a generous amount of brown gravy, like I ordered. But there are times when I open my moco box and my yolks are already cooked through and not runny anymore (which is my favorite part of the dish... the egg yolks becoming one with the brown gravy) and they skimped on the gravy! It seems that this mistake happens mostly when they are busy. One time they also forgot to give us the side of potatoes that we ordered. :( It was too late, we were already home with our order and very hungry, so that was never resolved. When they get your order right, it's very delicious! But the consistency in order quality can be a little frustrating! I know what you might be thinking, and no! I am not letting my moco sit out for a bit or cool off before eating it. That isn't why the egg yolks get cooked before I can pop them. When we get home with our order, I can't wait to eat!

ok so when out of towners are in town- gotta take them to Liliha- I was impressed with the huge burger with all the fixings and mac salad was really iconic and yummy- The miso butterfish was good but sauce was a bit overwhelming for me - too much- too sweet- but thats just me - others loved it- pancakes were fluffy- crowded- you may have to wait to get seated and you may have to wait for a server- but if you are not in a hurry -good place to eat! Service is slow but server is very nice!

Due to the fact that this location is in Macys Ala Moana there is lots of parking and you can shop after. Like killing two birds with one stone. Friendly staff and clean seating area. I like it because the tables spaced out. I think they can accommodate a large party. Just gotta ask. Food It's Hawaii's comfort food. Ono because we know what to expect and they still give you a good portion of food with every plate.

So... I may have gotten my family addicted to coco puffs. But when you are looking for a perfect little bite, they are so good! This location is so convenient, and you can enter in their separate side entrance before the mall even opens. They have a huge array of pastries and small bites. While I do wish there were more non-meat savory options, there's still plenty to enjoy. I want to order one of everything every time I see the beautiful display cases. I tried the azuki turnover for the first time during this trip, and it is absolutely delicious. Ordering can be a little bit tricky when there are many customers who show up at once. The cashiers don't always follow the number pull tabs, so when people are all over the place, it can be easy to get skipped over. However, I don't mind waiting a couple extra minutes once I get the first bite of baked goods! Definitely worth a visit!

A must try bakery in Honolulu- famous for their coco puffs (gigantic cream puffs) and their ube mochi donuts. We got 3 different flavors of coco puffs- chocolate, original, and matcha. My favorite flavor was the original coco puff We got the ube mochi donuts- it was alright. Not terribly unique or more delicious than other mochi donuts I tried. We got a pack of ube bread rolls - these were really dry with no flavor and we couldn't finish them If you come, the only things worth trying are the coco puffs and mochi donuts. There's also a cafe/ restaurant on the other half of the bakery where people were sitting and eating

The miso butter fish was really delicious, and loved the crispy waffles with custard. The complimentary butter roll was decadent, I don't want to know how much butter goes into making them. Friendly service and nice decor!

Liliha is a staple in your next Hawaii visit. I absolutely LOVE their poi donuts. The texture is amazing and way better than any mochi donuts on the main land. It's not too sweet, it's perfect. We ate in the cafe at Ala Moana and they have a huge menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. I love the fast casual diner vibe. We devoured all of the food we ordered. Service was incredibly fast even with our larger group of 8. The cafe is located inside of the Macys at Ala Moana. Love this place!

I'm a regular here at the Ala Moana location. Service is nice and hostess always accommodates my request to sit on the window side. The oxtail soup is one of my favorites in Hawaii. lately I've noticed two things: although I'm not a rice eater, I do eat a little of the white rice and the rice lacks fluffiness, as if it needs to be soaked longer. Also, the lunchtime music is way too loud for pleasant conversation. Hope management gets this comment because I do want to continue to come to this location.

When you need a place to eat good food with generous portions and a place to sit and talk for several hours with good friends ... then head to Liliha Bakery in Macy's Ala Moana . Location is central and parking is excellent for everyone coming in from all areas of Oahu. Even though it was quite busy when we arrived at 1130am .. wait time was about 20 mins and after we got seated ... we ordered and the food came out pretty fast . Best part you could order breakfast.. or lunch and I also noticed some new items on the menu too . Great selections that it might take awhile to decide what to order . And not too overly priced . Service was excellent and we did not get pushed out or got any stink eye for overstaying and chatting . Love this place and perfect for gathering with friends! I forgot to mention those delicious complimentary hot rolls with the strawberry jam they give ! Always look forward to eating that ! No pic due to everyone just grabbed it when it came out !

Saw this spot on TikTok and had to try it! Finding it was a little tricky (our Uber dropped us in the parking lot, and it took us a minute to figure out where to go), but once we got in, things turned around. They were busy on a Sunday, so service was a bit stretched, but they still brought out these delicious bread bites with a red sauce--such a nice surprise! We both had loco mocos (one beef patty, one pork), and the portions were huge. Definitely a heavy meal, but packed with flavor and totally worth it. Overall, a solid spot--not sure if it worth the hype.
