Kapiolani Coffee Shop-Waimalu

Im a hard customer I’m not giving 10s but this place unexpectedly got me. Oxtail is absolutely amazing . It’s pricy but worth it. Kimchi rice too . I will come back

This place is small and popular with the locals who will swear by the ox tail soup so be prepared to wait for a table. Fortunately the service is super quick so you will not wait long.

As I hinted in my introduction, if you love ox tails, this is the place you need to be. The Kapiolani Coffee Shop is a small mom and pop place with fast friendly service. The Ox tail soup was full of meat nice served in light broth served with a side of white rice. Be sure to dip your meat in the freshly ground ginger and soy sauce to make it extra special. Kim-chee fried rice topped with egg. I recommend going with over easy or even sunny side up but anyway you order your egg you will enjoy the flavorful rice dish. The shoyu chicken is also worth a try. A healthy portion of chicken thighs cooked in their (I'm guessing) shoyu sauce served with macaroni or green salad and white rice.

You’ve been here before and you’ll come back again. The food is still Onolicious, priced right and plentiful! Mahalo Kapiolani Coffee Shop for your good food and friendly service! 🤙🏼

Love this place
Luncheon meat, eggs & rice!!haven't had this in ages..remember eating this as s child..sweeter than spam.
Wasn't too happy with the banana pancakes..maybe one or two slices😫

Really good oxtail soup! The pork leg soup is heavy on the flavor but the meat taste delicious.
We didn’t know both soup comes with rice so ended up ordering too much food but everything was amazing and local.0

Taking orders for party that was seated after us is always a sure shot way to lessen the tip. What's worse is when waitress has nothing to do but hold up the counter and watch people eat.

Kapiolani Coffee Shop is the place to get ox tail soup. There food is really good I know because I worked there for years.But today my family and I had breakfast take out and my daughter found a dead fly in her fried rice. Disgusting! She went back to the take out counter and the girl was trying to get her to order something else. My daughter was so disgusted that she just wanted to show them the fly so it wouldn’t happen to another customer. Well, my daughter did get $12 and somewhat change back but no sorry or an apology at all. DISAPPOINTED!!! Just saying, PLEASE Kapiolani Coffee Shop management and employees be more careful and aware of this kind of stuff. I worked there so I know how things run there. I usually am one not to say anything but it made me sick to my stomach because I had ordered fried rice too.
