This popular East Oʻahu restaurant just launched a new breakfast menu.
Beastside Kitchen — which was founded in 2021 as a roadside pop-up tent in Waimānalo — is known for its local-style comfort food like garlic shrimp, guava barbecue fried chicken and roasted barbecue pork belly. The restaurant, which opened in Niu Valley in 2022, just debuted its new breakfast menu. Breakfast is served daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The breakfast menu includes a variety of choices, ranging from customer favorites like loco mocos and kalbi to omelets, eggs Benedicts and French toast — all with a creative twist.
If you’re craving something sweet, opt for Da Elvis ($19) or Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast ($18). Da Elvis features three slices of Hawaiian sweet bread with a butter glaze, sliced bananas, peanut butter syrup, powdered sugar and crushed mac nuts. Meanwhile, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast features three slices of Hawaiian sweet bread crusted with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and is topped with a cream cheese butter glaze.
The soft, pillowy toast contrasts nicely with the crunchy cereal crust.
Beastside Kitchen offers eggs Benedicts with several protein choices, including smoked salmon and garlic sauteed spinach; sliced turkey with grilled tomato and avocado; and kalbi marinated short ribs and chopped kimchi.
Da Bento eggs Benedict is a unique option, as it features two flavorful pork adobo hash patties.
If you want something hearty and savory, the Beastside Favorites — which include pork adobo and several loco mocos — come highly recommended.
The Big Pua‘a Moco ($21) features roasted pork belly served over white or brown rice, and is topped with house brown gravy, two island eggs, and crispy fried and green onions. The tender pork belly is a nice twist on the typical hamburger patty, and we couldn’t get enough of the flavorful brown gravy.
The restaurant’s kalbi plate, which is available during lunch, is one of the most popular options. The breakfast version includes two island eggs, along with a side dish (choice of white or brown rice, side salad, breakfast potatoes or toasted white or wheat Japanese bread).
Pro tip: Upgrade to the eatery’s fried rice ($2) to enhance your entrée’s savory flavor.
The eatery also offers bottomless mimosas for $25.
