Locals have been lining up here for decades for Waiola's finely shaved ice topped with ingredients like condensed milk.
Here's a checklist before dinner: 1. Order a Mai Tai, 2. Admire the sunset, 3. Enjoy the hula of former Miss Hawai‘i, Kanoe Miller. It does not get better than this in all of Waikīkī.
The old-school/Trader Vic/Beachcomber mai tai is off-menu, but it's the best one on Waikiki.

Great food found here...bentos, sushi and all kinds of good stuff. My favorite snacking the tempura roll for $1.99. Generous piece of shrimp with tempura sauce in roll of rice and nori. ONO!
Apparently the owner/chef challenged on the original Iron Chef show in Japan. How many bakers can say they've done that?
Try their homemade syrups like Strawberry Milk, Calpico, and Cranberry Raspberry. Yes, they have the standard flavors too, but the homemade syrups have a nice soft sweetness to them.
No real menu here - They serve a kaiseki (a Japanese set of courses) that changes each month. A sublime dining experience that I highly recommend.
Try some of their delicious gourmet foods, such as their fresh-made-daily poke and smoked ahi spread. -The Perfect Special Weekend, April 2012
One of the best Izakaya in Honolulu! Not cheap, but the food is incredible. Fish is so fresh. Ono sushi! A great experience.

The Baked Char Siu Bau is the best you can find, especially when it's hot, steamy, and fresh from the oven.
The espresso is good. I'm told it's a Hawaiian blend roasted by Fred of Downtown Coffee.
The newest place to get a cup of joe in downtown Honolulu serving excellent 100% Hawaii grown coffee. Watching your cup get brewed alone is worth a visit. Think laboratory. Stop by to see what I mean.

Pork chops, Kalbi, spicy chicken, and fried rice. The perfect foursome with that cold beer!

Be sure to make reservations in advance for Holidays & special occasions, especially if you want to sit on the edge by the ocean
Best brunch house on the island, by far. Everything is fresh, innovated and bursting with flavor. Try the pancakes made with ricotta cheese, the deep fried cornflake French toast and the hash brown.
You never know what your going to see here! I have seen Dolphins, Turtles, Whales and Monk Seals! ALWAYS bring your camera!
Volcanic cone just SE of Honolulu, tourists started to overtake the land in 1931 and has since suffered from much overuse. Now Hanauma Bay is known for its educational tours and natural wildlife.
Then President-elect Barack Obama scattered his grandmother's ashes here in December 2008. May she rest in peace.
You can walk down to the note so hidden cove for a quick swim. Waves are pretty rough and watch out for the current. Otherwise, it's quite pretty.

The oxtail soup here is incredible. There is pork belly and corned beef hidden in this bowl of goodness as well. You won't regret ordering this.
