Tokemoana's is a must-visit for any fan of Polynesian cuisine. I recently had the pleasure of trying their loco moco, and it did not disappoint. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium, and the sunny side eggs on top were a delicious addition. The mac salad was also noteworthy, with a great balance of flavors and textures. But what really set this dish apart was the luscious gravy, which was infused with mushroom and grilled onion. The banana macadamia nut pancakes were also really great. Fluffy on the inside and nice crispy edges. The attentive staff made the dining experience all the more enjoyable, and despite the Sunday brunch rush, we were seated within 10-15 mins. Overall, I highly recommend Tokemoana's for anyone looking for a taste of Hawaii in their next meal.

Influenced by IG and decided to come on a free afternoon. Located on el camino with a decent sized parking lot next door (just be sure not to pass by it). Inside is a simple cafe with spacious seating with big windows that let in a lot of natural light. Even for a weekday brunch time, we noticed a significant amount of people coming in. While not exactly busy and crowded, it was still a lot for what we expected. We ordered the loco moco, macadamia nut pancake combo, and tuk fries. I loved the loco moco. The gravy went great with the rice. The beef patty was cooked a bit more rare than I expected, but still tasted really good. There were also some mushrooms in the sauce. I got over medium eggs, but they came a bit closer to over easy, but honestly the runny yolks were much more suited for t

Saw this place on TikTok/Instagram and couldn’t wait to drive up from the South Bay and try it. We ordered the Hawaiian bbq plate, Sinaloa fries and a stack of the banana macadamia pancakes. Everything was so good, we wanted to try so many things! We can’t wait to come back!

Weekday breakfast: Just opened and we were the first ones in. There's a neat little parking lot too but I could see it getting filled up during busy hours. Breakfast was amazing! The Polynesian cornbread was excellent, with all the meat and sauce. It can pretty decadent and maybe a little salty but as long as you eat it with enough rice it's perfect. The loco moco was equally as tasty and satisfying. The portions were huge too. Also got the mango "smoothie-like" drink and a PSL and both solid options. Food: 8/10 Service: 6/10 Vibes: 6/10 Value: 7/10

Been wanting to try this place, finally got a chance to. I ordered loco moco, my friend got the abc omlet, the kid got the cheeseburger, my sister also got loco moco, we also got an order of Tuk fries to share. The staff is friendly and helpful. It took a bit for our orders to come out but they were busy. Our food arrived, and healthy portions they are. The Tuk fries were amazing with yes real steak and it had great char flavor, this thing is a monster and I wouldn't consider this an appetizer (maybe for 6 people, but 3 of us we still had half left). By the looks of it they chopped up an entire steak for it. The loco moco was flavorful and very filling. The ABC omlet had a ton of bacon in it, and we asked for the hash browns to be crunchy and they cooked it to perfection. I def
