No Ka Oi

10.3.25: I was visiting a friend who lives down here and she comes here on a regular and said I had to try it. It's California so I already knew parking was going to be difficult, not to mention it's the weekend of the air show. However, we found parking in a near by garage, which was just a short walk across the street to the restaurant. When we walked in, my friend wanted to sit at the bar, so we did. She saw her friend Charlie was working and he was our server. He was pretty laid back and friendly. My friend ordered us the edamame as an appetizer and it was really good. It took a while for it to arrive, but when it did, it was hot, spicy, and garlicky. It was pan fried with some really yummy spices. As for entrees, I ordered the Aloha Bowl with tofu and my friend ordered the same but

American breakfast place with a Hawaiian twist. Decent breakfast/brunch choice on Huntington Beach Main Street. There are some outdoor seating with great view of cars and people walking by.

We live within walking distance. Love to support local businesses. This place has been around for years. It needs a facelift. Food is good. We sat in the back patio. Many of the local restaurants are the same. Building is old, furniture is getting beat, floor is dirty, boxes crates ect are stacked up.

Went for a power walk and ended up here for food. Wasn’t sure if I wanted breakfast or lunch until I saw the Ahi bowl. Our server said it was fabulous which changed up my friends order as well. Great back patio and our server was fantastic! Ahi poke bowl was yummy. I need that! The ahi tower looked good, too, if you need a lighter option. Great juice options so you can have champagne and guava, mango or cranberry juice. Great menu and lots of choices. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is very tight. Very difficult to get into the seats and I'm not a very big person so I can't imagine what it's like for others. The service was mid saw the waitress 3 times in an hour. The food looked amazing but really lacked flavor. The eggs were cooked beautifully but the hollandaise sauce had a weird kick and tang that it shouldn't have in my opinion. The pork on my eggs Benedict was kinda dry and I didn't like the flavor, it did not go well with the dish at all. Stick to Canadian bacon for your Benedict I guess. My husband got the Moco loco the gravy was decent but the meat on this was also dry. There are better quality restaurants for the cost. I won't be returning. Maybe just for drinks, the Mai Thai was fabulous!
