Food was good ,however, we arrived 30 mins before cafe closed. As we were still eating an employee (young Caucasian girl with glasses) , very rudely asked my family to leave because they were cleaning up and closing. She also did not allow my husband to throw away our trash because she just changed the trash bag in the area we were sitting. Mind you , she was still throwing out the trash. It also smelled like sewage. Never have I ever eaten anywhere where they kick you out while you're still eating because of this I won't be coming here again. Very disappointing as we drove over an hour to eat here. This is no way to treat your customers. The Owner should really take into consideration who they have working for them, as I see others have had a similar experience. Do better, Aloha

Leilani’s feels like someone picked up a little local shack from Hawai‘i and dropped it right into San Diego. Being from Mililani, walking up to their window instantly brings me home, the vibe, the food, even the feeling in the air.
The Junior Boy is my go-to every time, and somehow my daughter, born and raised in SD, is completely ride-or-die for their loco moco. So yeah… it passes the local-girl test and the next-gen one.

So I actually got take out from their food truck. I have the teriyaki plate with macaroni salad. All was fresh and delicious and the price matched to quality and quantity of food. The staff were nice looking forward to checking out the cafe. I hope their food truck comes back to our complex again soon.

We went for breakfast and greatly enjoyed it. The spam musubi is a must try! The Jr boy was delish and my husband greatly enjoyed their spicy pork omelette. It is only outdoor seating and no restrooms available.

There’s no place like Leilani’s. Leilani’s was a regular go-to for me and my Ohana when we lived in the area. I still crave not just the food, but also the beautiful and welcoming aloha of everyone here. I’ll always come get my ultimate comfort dish loco moco when I’m in town. Much love and aloha from the other side of the country. I’ll be back!

This is a charming outdoor dining only Cafe. Hawaiian food and smoothies. Open until 2:00. Weekends often have lines of people waiting for their delishous food.

The Hilo Loco Moco is bomb, so was the Jr Boy breakfast. Gotta try their cold brew, the “Nut Buzz” was absolutely delicious!
