If you’re craving local-style breakfast, Forty Niner has been keeping families in Aiea fed since 1947. Wahiawa residents can also wake up to the diner’s saimin, pancakes, omelets, steak and eggs, and loco moco, now that the island institution has opened its doors at 167 S. Kamehameha Highway, near Papa John’s.

It’s one of those places where you walk in thinking you want one thing and, confronted with the vast menu, suddenly find yourself craving something else, whether creme brulee pancakes ($10.25), 

banana split waffle ($9.45) or Big Island smoked meat with grilled onions and eggs ($10.45), all served until 10:30 a.m.

After that, satisfy your hunger with the likes of fried chicken ($9.75), fried saimin ($7.95) or pork lechon plate ($12.95). Entree plates come with mac salad made the Forty Niner way, with angel hair pasta. Call 621-0049.
