Came here for brunch and I had the renowned charcoal pancakes. All I can say is that you should believe the hype. They were absolutely delicious and my only sadness was at having to share them with my partner.

Came to Basalt for the famous charcoal pancakes and it did not disappoint. We were seated quickly and chose to sit outside—it was cool, peaceful, and a perfect setting to start the day. I ordered the Mug and, of course, the charcoal pancakes. They came out warm, beautifully plated, topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and served with guava syrup. …

Do not sleep on Basalt. We came for brunch and were pleasantly surprised. All of the food was amazing but you have to try the charcoal pancakes. They were unlike anything we've ever had before. Fluffy, moist, and absolutely delicious.

I haven't written a review in so long, but OMFG my dinner was delicious. 😭 I had the salmon ochazuke and it was the best thing I've eaten in a restaurant in as long as I can remember. My husband had the ribs with guava BBQ sauce and they were delicious too, but I'll be dreaming of the ochazuke until …

Okay, so I guess this is a cool restaurant somewhat hidden inside a “food court” (which in some way serves “okay” food, attached to a supermarket). The food here, while is “upscale” for its display, is actually good, and for such location, the price is actually okay. Even better, rice and vegetable are INCLUDED in many of the dishes, which …

Long review, but could be helpful! So place is inside of a nice clean market, doesn’t look as appealing from the outside because of location (inside of a market). We sat down and we were greated by server who was really nice to us (two kids and two adults). They also provided a high chair for infant. Honestly, didn’t expect …

An instant Waikiki staple. Great atmosphere to enjoy fantastic food from chef Lance Kosaka. Light music that doesn’t disturb conversation. They have a wide variety of drinks, but I suggest the mocktail “Spa Day” and spike it with Hendrick’s Gin. Nat will take good care of ya. Lance’s spin on a classic Loco Moco will hit every savory gland you …

The charcoal pancakes are an absolute must try - soft & fluffy, delicious, and visually appealing! The loco moco portion here is a bit smaller compared to other restaurants (but sized right for a moderate appetite), but it was packed with more flavor, very delish. Nice service. Would return to try other items on the menu. If driving, you can …

We made a 12:45 lunch reservation but finding the location and parking garage presented a delay. Merv from the hostess stand called to confirm and inform the kitchen of our delay. We finally made it 5 minutes before the kitchen closes. Everyone was soooo kind and welcoming. Katie our waitstaff made a few recommendations and we ordered the Garlic Chicken …

I was recommended by my Uber driver Mark and I wound up somewhere else. I then decided to leave once I looked into Basalt and I’m so happy that I did! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with opens arms and a smile by Merlie, and then had Sharon as my waitress. She is so loving and so …
