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.
They'll let you sample everything. The paké poke is the best poke on the island, hands down.
We’re willing to share our Belly Bowl, but we rarely let anyone else get their chopsticks near our watercress and chicharones salad. Save the ramen for later. Featured in our 2014 Restaurant Guide.
Best of the best Vietnamese food in town with excellent service. This place is a hidden gem and popular for the locals.
Some of the best and most authentic ramen on the island. Try the monthly ramen special, paitan or the hidden shio ramen. Other recommendations include tebasaki karaage, stingray, tenmusu, zarutofu.
Plenty of food, cheap beer, and lots of seats. Just about the only thing missing is a solid data connection, so hop on wifi or coordinate with friends beforehand!
Compared to Diamond Head trail, this is a shorter hike but the beginning of this trail is steeper and involves more climbing. Stepping sideways when coming down the parts w/ lots of gravel helps a ton
Lerado is the guard and a nice guy. If he arches you going up you have to go down, if caught coming down he just asks how the hike was. He hikes it every day and will catch you. His record is 37min.

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.
Super Amazing Restaurant show recommends the wine list, whiskey list, hydroponic salad, A5 wagyu, kobe beef, and fried rice dish. "To me, that one of the best meals of this year."
Great place to get some delicious Hawaiian food. Their laulau is some of the best I've ever had.
Most amazing food on the island. Try the Pork Fried Rice, it's amazing just by itself and is good for breakfast the next morning. Fried Pork Chops were ridiculously flavorful.
Great pastries, including the over the top chocolate banana pineapple croissant. Cappuccino also the standout for coffee options, velvety rich.
Locals have been lining up here for decades for Waiola's finely shaved ice topped with ingredients like condensed milk.
Alan Wong’s is always an adventure with incredible seafood dishes right from the Pacific. Famous for using all of the local produce and products. It’s always a great stop. -Rick Tramonto, Top Chef
Hike the 300,000 years-old crater and take in the amazing view of the famed Waikiki coastline. Once you conquer the uphill hike, it’s smooth sailing on the way down!
A man made peninsula that was built in 1964 on 30 acres of reclaimed shallow reef, it was turned into a public park in 1972. The name was changed to Aina Moana, but the locals still call it Magic Isla
Located in the 1st floor of Pacific Monarch hotel, right next door to Jinroku. A bigger store with eat-in tables. Unlike other 2 Waikiki stores, they accept credit card, a big plus✌️
Beach bar and restaurant. Great view and fun to relax while having a cocktail. -Francine, The Real L Word
Just minutes away from UHM, this beach is popular with both visitors and residents. You can swim, surf, snorkel, dive, people-watch, or just bask in the sun (don't forget to use sunscreen!).
A must on the list of things to do for first time visitors or regulars, the best ‘donut’ in this world, it is malasades – a Portuguese sweet dough fried. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
Home to traditional favorites like kalua pig and pipikaula short rib. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
Cute coffee shop / plant shop! The avocado toast is delicious as is the strawberry mint tea.
Perfect brunch spot. Deliciously balanced flavors. Meticulously blended retro/modern/surf decor. Amazing French toast that highlights fresh tropical fruits without being too sweet.
Stick with the original garlic shrimp scampi that blew your mind away--Giovanni's! Famous for a reason.
Colorful varieties of flavors and colors of shaved ice, hurry to finish before it melts, the portions are huge. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
Hakata style tonkotsu ramen! THE BEST I've had so far on the island. Get the kotteri tonkotsu if you want extra richness or the spicy tonkotsu for spice (careful though, the levels are tricky).
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.
Every component of a meal here is mindfully, carefully prepared and pieced together to make the whole experience so satisfying. You can't go wrong with a katsu set - get the mix to taste them all.
This hole in the wall has the best traditional Hawaiian luau food, be prepared to eat! -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
Good price, it's BYOB and also dress comfortably. It does get hot in there.
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.
This bar rivals any bar in the world. Classic cocktails meticulously done with lots of Japanese highball variations. make reservations and more than once. Sit at the bar and wait for Justin.

Go to the bar and ask the bartender what's new or what's seasonal. They'll point you to an awesome drink. Tell them the TwoBeerQueer boys sent you.
