Liliha Bakery in Waikiki is a must-visit! Aside from their high-quality pastries (which are as delicious as they look), their local dishes are next level! The loco moco was to die for. I honestly could eat it every day!
The service was excellent, and what made our visit even more special was meeting so many fellow Filipinos. Their warm hospitality and friendly conversations instantly made us feel at home. It truly reminded us of the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️
Whether you’re craving sweet treats or a comforting local meal, Liliha Bakery delivers on all fronts. Can’t wait to go back! 🍰🍳🌺

Food was terrible. Very low quality. I would not recommend eating here. Ordered the loco moco and it has a weird taste. Chicken and karaage was also a bust. Pork belly was decent but overall we didnt even finish our food, that’s how bad it was. Food looks okay but when you take a bite, something taste off, like everything was made from a frozen pack.

The food ordered was delivered to the table twice incorrectly. We were not taking a chance a third time with a food allergy that they would get the order correct.
The manager on duty insisted that we pay for my meal, saying that my ordered food was correct, nothing was wrong with it and it would be "waste" for the restaurant if she didnt charge us.
Apparently its not a waste when two meals were thrown away because of her staffs inability to prepare the food as ordered.
The manager then asked if we told the waitress how we wanted his food prepared.
We advised her of course we did.
With a food allergy the ordering process is always clear and precise.
The manager then walked away, telling the waitress to still charge us for my meal .
I guess the manager thought it was appropriate for me to eat the food at this restaurant (which I did not eat any of the food) while my husband sat there and then we go someplace else for him to eat.
We paid and left and will NEVER go back.

Located on the third floor of Macy’s in sort of a hidden place. There is a bakery and restaurant portion. The bakery is not worth your time, as it is overpriced and not good at all. However, the restaurant was excellent. There is a bit of a wait, so be prepared to not get a table immediately. The food I had was excellent. My fish had so much flavor and not dry at all. Other dishes were good as well, such as the ramen and pancakes. The side of bread was also excellent. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

The food was good. I had one of their items listed on the menu as one of the “crowd favorites” for breakfast (eggs over KimChe fried rice with pork sausage). I also tried their new strawberry tea lemonade.
It was fresh and tardy if you like tardy drinks (which I do not). Overall, the food was good, not impressive but definitely good. The food is also overpriced but that’s also to be expected since it’s inside the mall next to Macy’s.

My server, Lisa, was so helpful and kind! Breakfast was great and filling! Got the 2-egg breakfast with corned beef, highly recommended. The hot butter rolls toasted are so good! Perfect location for eating and shopping at the center. Just know you have to go in at the 3rd level Macy’s mauka side if you dine early before the store opens.

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.

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

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.

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.
