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 definitely will be back to try some other stuff.

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.

Good place for breakfast and some interesting Polynesian dishes. The highlight of the meal was the coconut curry octopus and for the kids the banana Mac nut pancakes. The service is friendly and efficient and you can pay with QR code.

They had a sign at the front that displayed wait to be seated. So we waited to to be seated as we assumed by the sign was the implied thing to do. 2 people at the front just looked as us and said nothing. Then someone else came out and invited us to just walk in an sit wherever. That was weird. Our waitress was polite and quickly took our order. Food was good not the best though.

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.

Brings back Hawaii memories. The macsalad was delicious, not to heavy on the mayo. Locomoco will make you crazy.

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!

Hearty food at a very reasonable price. I have no idea whether Tokemoana is authentic Polynesian but at least I can say the Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes are not up to snuff as those I’ve had in Hawaii. Don’t get me wrong – tasty and made homestyle. However if you expected those from O’ahu, you’ll be a bit disappointed.

I remember ordering from here years ago when they did delivery and meet up services and sold to go plates! Glad to see they expanded to a dine in restaurant! Sinaloa fries are still and customer service was great too! Great atmosphere, good music, all around great vibe!
