do we need ADR for Ama Ama?
I’d always make the reservations at a Ama Ama for breakfast, and then cancel if you don’t want to go, better safe than sorry. Unlike the parks, there’s no charge if you cancel a reservation.
Kia Pancake place is supposed to be really good too. (Pretty sure I've got the name right....)
I love banana mac nut pancakes myself. But the coconut ones are supposed to be killer too!
I agree with nkereina about AMA AMA's pancakes. YUM!!! Btw, I prefer AMA AMA for breakfast and lunch as opposed to dinner. I can enjoy that gorgeous view in the daylight. Shhhhhh.
There’s an “Eggs & Things” opening up across the street at the shopping center, so they might be open and have your pancakes there by the time you go
It’s Koa Pancake House, but you were really close
It’s Koa Pancake House, but you were really close There’s one in Kapolei, so it’s much closer to Aulani than Anna Millers and MAC 24/7 (both of which, imo, are just ok). Lots of locals love Koa Pancake House, myself included, and it can be hard to find a seat on the weekends so go early.
If you’re willing to drive 40-50 minutes, check out Kimo and Boots in Kailua. They don’t take reservations and there’s always a 30-60 minute wait, even on weekdays. Cinnamon’s guava chiffon pancakes are another local dish worth seeking out.
