We stopped in after dropping a friend home who lived down the street. My daughter was craving a burger and this place popped up. It was a bit after lunch (1:20-1:25) and she wanted to dine in so we walked into the restaurant and was told that they close the dine in at 1:45, and to proceed to the window outside and order there. That kinda turned me off but we complied and placed an order for 3 cheeseburger deluxe, 3 french fries, and a shanghai lumpia. They came out and gave us our bag of food when it was ready and we drove home to Kapolei. We finished eating one of the order of fries on the way home. The cheeseburger deluxe was delicious! The burger was thick and juicy and oh so yummy. The shanghai lumpia hit the spot too. I love supporting local businesses like this. Minus one star for not allowing us to order our food inside and politely let us know they're closing and it'll be packed to go. Other than that eat we ordered was delicious and we'll be back to try out other dishes soon.

My wife and I were wanting to get comfort food, so I searched Yelp for the best Loco Moco in the Wahiawa area. We drove here from Honolulu and it was well worth the drive. This little gem was pretty crowded considering it is in Wahiawa town. We got our Loco Moco and a small fountain drink. The kitchen staff had our food ready in no time which is so refreshing since on our vacation there was some delays in getting our meals at some of the fine dining restaurants. The Loco Moco hit the spot and was one of the better meals we had on our vacation.

Great place to eat, and the pies are so good. It's been a long standing eatery in Wahiawa.

Sunnyside Bakery a long time favorite located in Wahiawa. Typical bakery design, staff and management friendly, fast, and efficient. Known for their pie's especially the banana and chocolate pies. Definitely worth the trip to Wahiawa.

Local place well taken care of by staff. Breakfast was good.
The pie is over priced for a small slice now it's $5. It's too sweet. The texture isn't the same like before. Used to be firm now it's soft. You will be better off going to Costco or Sam's club for a pie.

Sunny Side is an iconic restaurant, serving the Wahiawa community since 1977. It offers comfort food and freshly baked pies, especially their popular chocolate cream and peach-pear pies. Owners were the Niino and Shimonishi families that made this old school restaurant where the community congregated for breakfast each morning. Here it becomes interesting. With the lease coming up for renewal, the owners closed the restaurant on 3/31/18 and decided to sell this business, together with its recipes, to its employees, Britania Fajardo and Evangeline Yuen. On 10/5/19, the employees opened up their own restaurant around the corner on California Ave., using the same recipes, under the name of Tanya's Pies and Grill. The Niino and Shimonishi families had a change in heart and decided to reopen Sunny Side in the same location in July 2020, much to the surprise of everyone. Using their same recipes, here you have two different restaurants within a block away, serving the same menu items and freshly baked pies and using the same recipes. I guess this is good for competition, as well as having a sufficient inventory for customers, i.e., if one restaurant runs out, go to the other one for the same thing. While I haven't been to Tanya's, I would imagine either restaurant tweaking the recipes to make it their own; however, the recipes, as is, are what made Sunny Side a part of the Wahiawa community. This review is for Sunny Side, as I have eaten their menu items and their pies (I have yet to visit Tanya's). Sunny Side excels in its breakfast menu, serving loco moco, pancakes, French toast, waffles, eggs Benedict, eggs with breakfast meats, and its popular fried rice special with one egg and hot dog. They also serve lunch items that include sandwiches (burgers, BLT, bacon/egg, mahi, teri beef) and plate lunches (chicken cutlet, liver and onions, fried noodles, teri chicken, pork chops, hamburger steak, teri steak, tonkatsu, mahi, fried shrimp). And you can't leave until you've tried their pies (apple, pear-peach, choc cream, blueberry cream, apple, banana, choc haupia). Over the years when I was working in town, co-workers who had to do site visits in Wahiawa would always return to the office with Sunny Side pies to share with the office. It was a given that whoever went to Wahiawa, would always return with a pie, which we all devoured in no time! We've tried the following: * Fried rice. Excellent and tasty, non-oily fried rice with bits of bacon, spam, and green onions (optional). A winner in my books! Go early to get this, as our most recent visit there about one hour before closing, they ran out of their fried rice. * Corned beef hash with egg. Great proportion of corned beef to the potatoes and minced round onions! Generous, thick portion that was excellent in taste! Optional gravy over hash, and surprisingly good! * BBQ hamburger. Thick homemade burger that was soft and flavorful with a teri sauce. * Pear-peach pie. Although canned pears and peaches are used, this pie is excellent in taste, not overly sweet, and holds up well. Double crusted, so very buttery and flaky crust when warmed up in a toaster oven. * Chocolate cream pie. For chocolate lovers, so very creamy, not overly sweet, and flavorful with a buttery and flakey crust! Counter staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. They are willing to accommodate any special requests. Go early to get their lunch specials and popular breakfast items, such as their fried rice, as they do sell out. The restaurant interior is clean and well kept. Diners are respectful in cleaning up their tables after their meal. Nice, cozy and comfortable interior that seats about 30, with regulars oftentimes knowing each other in the community. Prices are kept reasonable by minimum serving and bussing of tables. For dine-in, you order at the counter, then wait for your order after getting your table. Water in paper cups, utensils, napkins, and condiments are self-service. As your food orders are served on paper plates, you buss your own tables by disp

Delicious restaurant for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Dine in and take out offered. They also have different pies each day of the week. Ordered the bbq cheese burger and it was 10/10. Delicious flavor and fresh. Husband always enjoys any of the plates with the flavorful fried rice. Must try local restaurant :)

Small mom and pop breakfast place. Food is very simple and prices cheap. Enjoyed the french toast. Fried rice was good. Dont order scramble eggs as they us powdered eggs. Not fresh eggs. Other than that food was decent.

A small mom and pop joint on the way to the north shore. I had the fried mahi mahi, which was good although portion size was small. It came with rice. I really enjoyed sampling the teriyaki chicken from others in my party. Was fantastic! Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Small parking lot and only a handful of tables inside. The pies must be popular as they were all sold out. Felt good to support a local restaurant.
