On the first day of the 3-day weekend, I visited for lunch in search of something different. The branding heavily emphasizes Hawaii with dishes like Loco Moco and burgers. But wait, the main lunch set is pasta? Is pasta also famous in Hawaii? Anyway, I love fresh pasta. I got the seafood Peperoncino set. The set came with garlic baguette. The pasta had chewy noodles and rich toppings, very delicious. The baguette was large, perfect for those looking for a generous portion. It was a great start to the long weekend. I will definitely come back again.

There is lunch available until 3 pm. The parking lot gets crowded during lunchtime on weekends, making it hard to find a spot. The pasta, long baguette, and drink set seems to be popular, but this time I tried the hamburger set. The cold potato soup was salty but delicious. The portion of potatoes was huge, but tasty.

I have visited this place many times. I arrived around 3:30 pm and it was bustling. Luckily, there was one empty seat on the sofa, so I was happy! This time, I visited the cafe and had a fruit tart and a cafe latte. The strawberry tart was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. It was beautifully decorated with flowers, giving it a Hawaiian look. The sofa seats are comfortable, and I always end up staying longer than planned. I have tried their burgers, loco moco, pasta, pancakes, and my favorite is the burger because it's so filling. The Hawaiian-themed interior is cute, making it a great place for a relaxing girls' gathering.

I made a reservation and visited the cafe. It was my second visit! The cafe has a stylish exterior and interior that makes you feel like you're in Hawaii. There were so many lunch menu options that I had a hard time deciding, but I ended up ordering the Loco Moco. The menu was illustrated and very cute. The Loco Moco dish was surprisingly long! The sixteen-grain rice was delicious, although there were a bit too many potatoes (haha). I enjoyed the food and drinks very much. As a side note, I was seated on a sofa but the table was a bit low, making it a little difficult to eat, so next time I'll choose a table instead (the sofa was comfortable though!). I heard that you can only order pancakes until 3pm, so I want to visit next time during pancake hours! ✨

The restaurant had only been open for a short time, but there were already three groups of customers. The parking lot is located on the 1st floor of the building. The menu mostly consisted of illustrations, and after much deliberation, my companion ordered the Cheeseburger Plate while I chose the Haleiwa Omelette Plate. The Cheeseburger Plate came with soup, salad, drink, and fries, while the Haleiwa Omelette Plate came with a choice of long baguette (with mentaiko, garlic, or honey), salad, and soup. We chose the garlic long baguette. We also ordered additional drinks, with the option to choose from a wide variety of drinks on the table (some at an extra cost). We both had hot coffee, made with 100% Kona coffee. The food was served on wooden plates, with everything except the soup placed on them. The baguette was crispy and delicious, and the omelette was rich in buttery flavor. The salad was generously dressed, and the fries had a light saltiness. The Cheeseburger Plate was very filling and seemed a bit difficult to eat, but it was delicious. The restaurant reminded me of Moon Cafe in Yokohama. Throughout our meal, more and more customers arrived, including families with children and elderly couples. It seemed to be a very popular place. The bill was clipped with a cute flower clip, adding a nice touch to the Hawaiian-themed restaurant.

The patty and buns were delicious! I would be happier if the fries were a bit hotter and crispier. The soup, lettuce salad, juice, and chocolate cake were all included and I am full now. The chocolate cake was a bit firm, I prefer a moister texture, but it was easy to eat. Thank you for the meal!

Here, Haleiwa Cafe!! A cafe that is very Hawaiian, named after the Haleiwa district in Hawaii!! Hawaiian drinks and food that will soothe your tired body after surfing!! A Hawaiian cafe run by Hawaiians, with parking for about 15 cars available. ✨

I chose the cheeseburger plate. There were options with avocado and shrimp cutlet burgers, and I had a hard time deciding. There are so many types of hamburgers alone, and the desserts and pasta are also plentiful. I had a seat by the window with a nice view, and most importantly, the potatoes and soup were delicious!! It was worth coming from far away ^-^

The honesty, atmosphere, and service of the restaurant are good. However, when it comes to craft burgers in Kyoto, the taste is lacking. Kyoto is primarily a tourist town, so there is a lack of emphasis on taste. Despite this, there are many places where you can take beautiful photos, but the taste of the ingredients is disappointing. It's a bit unfortunate for someone living in Kyoto.

This time, I had some rare business near Katsura Station, so I decided to have a late lunch at this restaurant. It seems like a chain store. There was plenty of parking space and the inside of the restaurant was surprisingly spacious. I thought they would have typical Hawaiian menus, but they had a variety of options like burgers, pasta, and pizza, each seemed to be carefully prepared. I ordered the burger plate and coffee set this time. The burger plate came with a large amount of fried potatoes, salad, and soup. It was quite filling just with that. I wonder if everyone can finish it easily. It was delicious though. The burger itself was very flavorful and tasty. The sauce was a bit sweet, I thought it could have been a bit spicier. Hawaii Kona coffee was delicious as always. The acidity is the key. Thank you for the meal.

About a 10-minute walk from Katsura Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line, I had lunch at Hareiwa Cafe. The cafe-restaurant is inspired by Haleiwa Town in Oahu, Hawaii. Unlike the cafe-style Omotesando branch, the Katsura branch is more of a restaurant. The Hawaiian theme is evident from the exterior and the sign, making it stand out even from a distance. The interior is also Hawaiian-themed, with cute decorations. There are sofa seats, counter seats, and table seats, all spacious and relaxed. I tried the Haleiwa Burger, which came with a burger, soup, salad, and a huge portion of potatoes. The burger was juicy with plenty of tartar sauce sandwiched between crispy buns. The lunch menu also offers pasta and Loco Moco. The pancakes seem to be popular too. The atmosphere is great, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious. I'd like to try the pancakes next time.

I went to the restaurant using GOTO. The interior is Hawaiian-themed with cute decorations. There are sofa seats, counter seats, and table seats, making it spacious and not too crowded. I made a reservation for 3 pm and had pancakes and a burger. The fruit pancakes had mango sauce which was okay, but I would have preferred chocolate or honey instead. The burger was filling and delicious with a meaty flavor. If you want to experience Hawaii vibes, it's worth going back. I might try the pasta next time.

I had a hamburger plate for lunch on a regular day. The portion was huge! I couldn't finish the potatoes, but the salad dressing was just to my liking, maybe a bit salty. The food was delicious. The restaurant had three cozy sofa seats where you can relax comfortably.

When you head east from Monji Onna Street towards Kashihara Street, you will come across this shop just before reaching the Hankyu train line. This shop has changed its name a few times, but it seems like the management remains the same as some of the menu items are similar to before. The shop now has a Hawaiian theme, but they still serve fresh pasta and include a long baguette in their set meals, just like before. On this day, I visited with my wife and we both ordered the Pasta Lunch Set for 1,380 yen (excluding tax). You can choose one pasta dish from 13 options, and the set includes a long baguette, soup, salad, and a drink. The baguette comes in three flavors: mentaiko, garlic, and honey. I chose the basil sauce pasta with Kagoshima red chicken and mushrooms, along with garlic baguette. The meal started with a mini salad and a cup of corn soup, both light and delicious. The garlic baguette and hot coffee followed, along with the basil pasta. The freshly baked baguette was crispy and tasty, with a hint of garlic butter that whetted my appetite. The basil pasta was made with thick fresh noodles, tender red chicken breast, and plenty of shimeji and eringi mushrooms. The cheese was grated over the pasta at the table, a service that cheese lovers would appreciate. The pasta had a gentle saltiness, and the basil flavor was not overpowering. Although I would have liked a bit more pepper, it was still enjoyable. This shop offers a variety of dishes, including sandwiches and loco moco, but the prices are a bit high. However, the quality justifies the cost, making it a satisfying dining experience.

While looking for a good restaurant around Katsura, I found a place with a lot of delicious-looking menu items. The Loco Moco plate in the picture looked appetizing, along with a brightly colored drink. I went in with high expectations. I ordered the Loco Moco with a drink, which came on a long plate with a small bucket, French fries, salad, rice, and a hamburger topped with a fried egg. The portion size was impressive! As for the taste...the hamburger was a bit disappointing compared to what I had expected.

The variety of lunch options at this restaurant is amazing! I ordered the pasta set, and my friends got the loco moco and cheeseburger. The pasta lunch comes with a salad, soup, French baguette, and a drink, making it a very filling set. The loco moco plate my friends ordered was surprisingly large, almost like a surfboard! I chose the salmon and potato carbonara for my pasta lunch. I also selected honey for my baguette. My drink was a berry soda. The drink options were varied, including fruit-flavored sodas and flavored teas, making it fun to choose. Each of our drinks was a different color - white, blue, and red - making them colorful and photogenic! I was already surprised by the three different carbonara options, but the salmon and potato carbonara was incredibly delicious! The honey on the baguette was also amazing, oozing out when squeezed. Delicious, filling, photogenic - this restaurant is great!

After finishing my lessons in Saiin, I got a ride from a friend and we stopped for our usual tea time on the way home. Intrigued by the Hawaiian-themed name, we decided to check out a cafe with a parking lot on the first floor and the store on the second floor. The place seemed like it used to be a family restaurant. The Hawaiian music playing in the background didn't quite match the atmosphere, but the spacious tables and comfortable sofas made it a relaxing spot. I ordered a set with a brownie and cherry lime soda for 700 yen. The cake was average, but it came with ice cream and whipped cream, which felt like a good deal. The soda was served in a generous-sized glass. The menu had a variety of options like grilled beef plate, pasta, curry, burgers, and sandwiches. My hungry friend ordered the sprout shrimp sandwich for 880 yen, which came with salad and soup. The sandwich was packed with ingredients and wrapped in a stylish paper with English print. The friendly staff and convenient location along the main road with a spacious parking lot made it a pleasant cafe to visit.

I remember there used to be a casual Italian restaurant here, but now there is a Hawaiian cafe called "Haleiwa Cafe" that I decided to try for lunch while I was in the area for errands. The restaurant is on the second floor, bright and spacious with windows all around. We chose the cozy sofa seats in the back. My husband had the spicy cod roe pasta with plenty of fresh seafood (large portion) and a ginger ale. The pasta had over 10 varieties to choose from and you could also choose from 3 types of bread. The fresh pasta was delicious. I had the sprout shrimp sandwich with a side salad and soup. The sandwich looked delicious and had a generous portion with juicy shrimp. It was a bright and relaxing cafe with a cozy atmosphere. Located at 22-3 Kawashima Nodacho, Nishikyo-ku (near Hankyu Katsura Station) 075-754-7252. Open from 11:00 to 22:00 (10:00 to 22:00 on weekends).
