Waffles near Aiea, HI

“Good food..fair amount & a decent cost. 👍🏻“

“We had such an amazing breakfast at Aiwi Waffles on our very first day in Hawaii, and it could not have been a better start to our trip.
We ordered the berry medley mochi waffles with cream cheese and added bananas, and it was absolutely incredible. This place makes everything gluten free, whether you want sweet or savory waffles or even just a simple butter waffle, they can do it all. My husband is gluten free, but I am not, and I can honestly say this was the best waffle I have ever had. It was even better than any regular waffle I have tried before. You can really feel that they put their heart and soul into every dish.
The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. Our waitress was genuinely kind, took the time to talk with us, and even recommended places to visit during our stay. That personal touch made the experience even more special.
The prices are very reasonable, and the whole place feels friendly and inviting. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone in Honolulu, gluten free or not“

“I meant to write this review a few weeks ago. However, the service was super nice. The two girls working were very inviting. The gelato is super good and creamy and has an almost stretchy consistency. The toasted marshmallow was my fave. Definitely plan on coming again.“

“We had a wide variety of options and all were so yummy!! Definitely worth it!“

“I had the KC original waffle dogs and ono ono shakes but my favorite is the chili dogs and chili cheese fries. I would recommend that to everyone address is 2065 South King Street and the lady who works there speaks soft but she works by herself and such a nice lady. Come try“

“I Love it 🥰 I will be going all the time I pass through“

“Some of the nicest dudes I've ever met-- everyone greeted me when I walked in and we all made small talk while I waited for the order. One of the guys offered me a sample of an excellent coffee blend he'd put together; I'd definitely recommend a cup if you're looking for a nice pick-me-up after dinner, as it's clear he's no amateur to the craft. He also gave me some advice on making a good batch of cold brew at home, which I always appreciate.

Food was made to order really fast: I don't remember exactly how long since we were chatting, but maybe five minutes? Deluxe burger was outstanding and made with fresh ingredients, without any frilly extraneous stuff: bun, thick beef patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion (your choice of cooked or raw on that last one). Condiment table is there if you want to add anything to your food, but I thought it was excellent as-is and didn't need anything. The waffle dog is a nostalgic and quintessential classic that was delicious, and that banana ono ono shake! You get a spoon, not a straw, and it's obvious why-- this thing was ridiculously thick and rich and smooth and the highlight of my order. I'm gonna try to go back tomorrow to get a chocolate shake next.

Combined with the fact that this is extremely reasonably priced food in the city, don't overthink it-- If they're open and you're nearby, just go and support these guys! You'll get a cheap and great meal out of it.

Mahalo, fellas!“

“cool quest for the pancake 🥞“

“Overall good. The food itself was good, the location was pretty clean for how busy it was. The only issue I had, which is why I dropped 1 star, is when it came to to-go orders. I had placed my order online around 15 minutes prior, and only drove there (as it’s close to my place) when they texted me it was ready. When I went to pickup, they told me it wasn’t ready, and it ended up taking 20 minutes extra. It’s not a big deal, as they were fairly busy, but it was a bit annoying as I would have rather stayed at home until it was ready.“

“Don’t skip this place for breakfast!!! This was our favorite breakfast on the island. I was a little worried that the specialty pancakes and waffles would be too sweet but they were actually perfectly balanced! The kimchi fried rice is also WORTH IT. All of our food was DELICIOUS. Our servers (Daniel and Isabel) were on top of it, friendly and helpful. Overall, this was a great experience and we will definitely be coming back every time we visit!“

“Just beware that this place gets a CRAZY amount of orders on weekends and any holidays. You're going to be waiting like 30+ minutes and up to 40 minutes. They say it's because there are so many people making phone orders on those days. So you might as well get a drink or coffee and get ready to be patient. They are a small team and you can see they probably only have like 3 or 4 people cooking. The food is great and it is a nice place to relax and dine-in at. But just know you WILL be waiting a long time on weekends.“

“Food was great, staff was kind and fast, and the best part was there wasn’t a crazy wait (like at some of the other places nearby). Can definitely recommend the vegetarian omelette, and they also accommodated our party by making vegetarian fried rice for us. Also we loved the banana pancakes!“
