Great food and atmosphere. I’m always into their skillet series, so delicious! Sadly they have removed Donburi Chan from their menu though.
The food alone is worth the visit, but what really made our experience special was Mark, our server. He has the sweetest personality, was genuinely attentive, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish - so much aloha! As for the food, everything was outstanding, especially the steak saimin and the dumplings! Amazing food, wonderful service, and great energy all around. We will be back!
My trips to Hawaii are never complete without a trip to Kokohead Cafe! Always order the daily dumplings to start. My go-to is the fish and eggs and a “Mary Mary”. Delicious!!
Great little restaurant serving up unique dishes. Service was great, prices are a little steep but not out of the norm for Hawaii. It’s not easy to walk to from Waikiki but if you’re looking for what seems to be a popular local restaurant, this is the place. Recommend reservations especially for dinner.
I had a delicious breakfast here. My daughter got the fish and eggs which today was a Marlin and it was very nice. I went with the luau mega hash special and it was awesome, loved it. Also the vanilla biscuits and the breakfast bruschetta suuuuuuper good, highly recommend.
Had a great meal at Koko head cafe. Enjoyed a nice dish of Koko moco. Absolutely delicious. The meal came in a small cast iron skillet. The rice was crispy on the bottom. Burger was cooked to perfection. I had my eggs scrambled. Gravy was to die for. Glad we found Koko Head Cafe a wonderful place for breakfast or brunch
Chef Lee Anne Wong brings magic to every dish, each brings a unique blend of ingredients and delights! Had the Natty Skillet with crispy ocean rice, fried poki, choi sum, soft scrambled egg and special house pickle trio and the Papa Aina Ramen with Portuguese Sausage, ham, bacon, cheese scallion, nori and a poached egg. We were raving about the dishes so much that forgot to take a photo of the ramen until we were half way through. Fun vibe, the kitchen staff rings a bell whenever they receive a special kitchen tip! Chef Wong also has special dinners which are a treat. Reservations are highly recommended. There is outdoor seating on the lanai
My FAVORITE bowl of ramen in the world! ❤️ Koko Head is the best breakfast on O'ahu for sure! The hot sauces are incredible and the service is impeccable. (Shout-out to Vitalia!) The fish and eggs were onolicious, too! Mahalo!
Fantastic food, great servers, everything was just soo good. I'd love to go again and try other things on the menu. Had the Omelet special with lamb, delish! Egg cooked to perfection, not your hard dry omelet. Our coffee and water were always filled. Not your standard breakfast joint... breakfast elevated, so good.
6 solid food. Natty skillet was interesting and new. Egg handwich was solid and nice jam to add some interesting sweetness. French omelette was soft and good. Tropical fruit plate is a great idea. Solid brunch with a variety of good options including some healthy but not worth going out of the way
