Nuieden Cafe

Great place to get Hawaiian food, popular with locals and reasonably priced. The fish coated in macadamia nut panko was delicious and nice and light, and the lechon (crispy pork belly strips) was very good too. We also got kalua pork nachos to share as a starter, which was some of the best pork we had during our stay, but it was a huge plate and our mains arrived just a few minutes later, so we ended up taking most of that home and eating it for lunch the next day. We came back a few days later for breakfast, which was also really good. The kalua pork hash was particularly tasty, and the pancakes that came with our breakfasts were huge. Both times we had a short wait to get seated, as it always seems to be very busy (a good sign), but once inside the service was fast.

This place is great! Be aware that if you order anything with pancakes they are two massive pancakes! I got the kalua pork and hash, and oh my gosh it was so good! Someone else I went with got the moco loco, they said it was the best they've had yet! The servers are so nice, I totally recommend! 10/10

5/5 Kualoa Hash - Yummy but too much potatoes on our order *3/5 Huapia Pancake - we ordered this as an upgraded side. It's 2 massive pancakes, the size of my head, layered with huapia (coconut pudding/glaze). It was delicious *but I would not reorder since it was too sweet. I think 15 yo me would've loved it but I couldn't eat more than a quarter. 5/5 POG Juice - delicious and refreshing 2 single restroom, one for men and women I'd go back to try other items on their menu. Lots of specials on the board that sounded appetizing. Any leftovers get recycled to a hog farm, which made me feel great about the leftover pancakes

Always so good and tasty! The portions here are HUGE. The vibe is very chill and there is a ton of options. We came for dinner but Breakfast is available too! Friendly service and full bellies. What more could you need? One of the best places to eat on the big Island! And there is another location in Waimea (breakfast only)

It seemed you couldn’t go wrong with anything they served, this is a hidden gem that’s worth going out of the way to enjoy! Excellent service, friendly staff, home style comfort and feel with plenty of delicious comfort food that won’t leave you feeling like you had a gut bomb— unless you order everything that looks good and try to finish it all! Great experience, great food!

If you’re looking for large portions, delicious food and quick service… come here!!! My husband and I have big appetites and this place definitely satisfied our cravings. We came back here 3 times while on the big island because it was that good! My husband grew up on a cattle ranch and is picky with his steak, he ordered the Steak & Eggs three separate times because of how perfect he said it was cooked. My French toast was awesome, papaya was fresh, pancakes were HUGE! 10/10 recommend!!
