Eat breakfast at the counter any time of the day -- their pancakes are so buttery. Grab a box of their famous Coco Puffs on the way out.
You know that saying, patience is a virtue? Expect to test that saying when you lunch here. It's busy as hell on most days, but the food is worth the wait.
Happy hour here daily from 4-7 pm. Kona Brewing Co. Longboard Island Lager on tap. $3 pint; $9 pitcher. Plus pupu specials.
Beer tasting (Wed, 6-8p) is the best time to try new beers and meet people! 8 beer samples + pizza bites for only $20.
Don't get all crazy and order too many a la carte toppings. The prima, Proscuitto or even the simple margherita are excellent!
Can't go wrong with much here, but I must recommend the pan fried beef, honey walnut shrimp, garlic eggplant, and Chef Chan's special fried rice.
Stop! There's awesome ice cream and Popsicles in here at Ice Fru! Check it out for a cool treat. You'll love it!
Two words: Belly Bowl. Get it and you won't be disappointed. A lot of porky goodness going on here. NOM!
The garlic chicken salad is nice. The addition of arare to it gives the salad a crunch and savory surprise. Like it!
Underdogs that deserve light: Crabcake Benedict, loco moco, guava chiffon pancakes. The red velvet pancakes are overrated.
Best bento ever! Get here early because once they sell out tough luck! The chicken is so delicious!!! The large is only $1 more but more stuff! Yummy
If you love pizza, this place is one of the best in town. They use the highest quality products and a lot of locally sourced stuff too. The Prima is my favorite, but all the pizzas are good. Enjoy!
Stick with the original garlic shrimp scampi that blew your mind away--Giovanni's! Famous for a reason.
Only at Shimazu Store will you find contemporary flavors for your shave ice. Try red velvet, creme brûlée, and mojito! -Best of Honolulu, March 2012
Try one of the house made ice creams or shave ice syrups - they change all the time and you may never see those flavored again!
This place plays host to a rotating set of chefs sharing their menus. Sometimes the menu may be for one night only, so check their site for more info.
Loved the spicy tsukemen. Tsukemen is a popular way of enjoying ramen without getting full from the soup. You dip your noodles into a richer broth, which is concentrated ramen base.
Get there early to get a seat! Don't forget to bring cash. Cash only! Get the Ramen they are famous for, you won't regret it!
Pork Belly Bowl is amazing but so is the Japanese Loco Moco. Everything else here is also really good. Can't go wrong with anything here. I always have a hard time ordering.
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.
Must say the cheesecake here is pretty darn delicious. Light without being too airy and silky smooth consistency. If you're in the mood, grab a slice or a whole pie.
The Short Rib Loco Moco was wonderful. Definitely recommend giving it a try. The mango tea was also a refreshing treat!
Some of the best Hawaiian food on Oahu served here. Pipikaula a must! Remember, it's cash only so come prepared!
This hole in the wall has the best traditional Hawaiian luau food, be prepared to eat! -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
Don't forget to top your Adobo Fried Rice Omelette (essential) with some pickled ong choi.
