“Hands down, one of the best places for boba in my opinion. The tea is always brewed fresh daily. The boba itself is not hard or too chewy. Drinks are made to order. The staff is always patient, friendly and kind even with my two energetic boys running around. The ambience is so cute and the place is always clean.“
“It's so cool that this restaurant is open 7 days a week from 8pm till 3am. This place has good food, and big portions too. I got the regular roast pork plate...very big portion and very tasty too. The service was good and our food came out quickly too. The ambience was not bad. There was only one table with chairs to eat at. But most people just pickup and go with their food orders. I'll definitely be back to grab my late night food orders again.“
“Decent amount of seating options, both inside and outside.Vegetarian options: All drinks are vegetarian and they have quite a few vegetarian friendly foods/snacks.Dietary restrictions: Oat milk, Soy milk, Coconut Milk and Almond Milk offeredParking: Decent amount of parking“
“I love Alexandros because of the vegetarian options. The staff was friendly and the service was fast! As expected, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this restaurant. Enjoy!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian tacos, Vegetarian burritos, and vegetarian quesadillas“
“Food and service was awesome. I can't stand burritos that are full of rice or potatoes. This isn't one of those. The hangover burrito was awesome! We also had the the B.E.A.S.T. and the croissant French toast. They were all amazing!“
“I absolutely love this place! 20/10 shave ice and friendly! I try to stop by as often as I can when I’m on that side. I also love taking my clients here! My favorite shave ice on island! ? (Blue vanilla + coconut = an unbeatable flavor combo in my opinion)“
“What a wonderful find. Yummy samples and helpful and friendly staff. The baked goods are delicious whether you're gluten free or not. They have both sweet and savory choices. You need to go here. They saved 2 turkey sandwiches for us to pick up on our way to the airport. We'll be back!“
“Amazing good service nice people, the donuts are to die for and you can watch them make them fresh for you. Really chill ambiance, relaxing and delicious. If you are visiting must visit, we live here and come regularly. Good prices as well.“
“TLDR: 10/10 recommend the Carne Asada burrito and Carne Asada Quesadilla.Wanted to wait until I was able to visit a few times before making a review. But this place has some of the best burritos in town. 10/10 would recommend if visiting from the west coast and wanting that authentic style burritos. Also they have great homemade salsas to choose from that pair very well with each dish. Also highly recommend the quesadillas if you aren’t in the mood for a burrito.Parking: I recommend parking in the Whole Foods parking lot and walking across the street.“
“You won't believe the amazing 60th birthday party my uncle had at this place! The food and ambiance were absolutely incredible! We had live Hawaiian music played by my boyfriend, and our entire family danced the hula all night long! And let me tell you, that roast pig was to die for! It was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside...you have to check out the video I took! The location is unbeatable, right by the ocean and next to the Prince Hotel in Waikiki. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this incredible experience!“
“Amazing food. Fish is so fresh. The bowls are dynamic and flavorful. After moving to Oahu, I became obsessed with poke and would go out of my way to eat it from different places. I found Aloha Cones one random day as I was looking for the nearest place. Since then I have not found a poke spot that I like more, and I did indeed keep looking. If you ask me, this is the best poke on the island. Two years and counting, Aloha Cones is still at the top of my list.“
“This awesome local breakfast and lunch spot was amazing! I stopped by for breakfast at least five times during my two week stay in Waikiki. Coffee was great, food was fast, and the music from the kitchen gave it a pop.Recommend highly- kimchi stir fry, brekkie wrap and sandwich, and the loco moco.“
“My husband loves their shrimp and grits. We had breakfast there once and returned for dinner. Food is good. I believe the husband is running the establishment with his wife and when we had dinner, their young kids were there too. Daddy was doing the cooking while mommy was mining the customers and they both the children. This made my heart smile. Trying to run a business with young kids, not easy. Family core, much respect.“
“Blondie's is the best vegan restaurant on island in my opinion. It's the most similar to vegan comfort food that can be found in places like Portland and is really unlike any other food available on O'ahu. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is always top notch (Cybil is the absolute sweetest!). The restaurant is run by a mother-daughter duo and my heart is warmed every time I think of this. Even my non-vegan friends and family enjoy the food! Blondie's also happens to make my favorite smoothie of all time—the pipeline paradise. I have something of a smoothie obsession and I literally dream of this smoothie constantly. Highly recommend giving Blondie's a try!“
“Probably one of the best if not best breakfast spots we had on our Hawaii trip. Low key spot with delicious food with great ingredients. Not a huge menu but would definitely come back again (ate here twice in one week) Had the cuban breakfast and the ham & cheese sandwich. Both delicious.Ice lattes were good as well. Plus they were a good ole American portion size.“
“Get the fries.I mean, get anything it’s all good, but get the fries. I don’t think I’ve had better fries on island.The stuff is super friendly and funny. I usually just order and run off, but I actually stick around a lot here.Definitely recommend!“
“Came here for lunch on a weekday. It was bustling but efficient.I got the club sandwich and I have to say, pretty damned tasty!! I love a good club sandwich. This had fresh tomatoes, fresh soft avocado, nice meats, and the bacon was perfect with just the right amount of crunch.The bagel it came on was delicious as well. It came with a tiny salad which had very fresh greens.I'd come back here in an instant! The place is kept spotless and service was friendly and professional.“
“Refreshing sugar cane juice in Aiea, Oahu, Hawaii...Sugah Daddeh's Kane Juice used to be by the Starbucks by Anna Miller's. I saw the shop, but didn't have time. I told myself that I would return... especially because so many of my friends wrote reviews (Donna, Irene, Angel, Deborah, Gabriel, Rissa, Janice, Reuben, Tanyce, and Kyra).Today, I saw the new location at "Downtown Pearlridge". If you go to the mall, it's above Longs Drugs Store (that's where I usually park because it's covered). Go up the escalator, and the kiosk is by Guava Smoked, Hot Topic, and Aloha Salads. Looking at the menu, the Mason Jar is the best deal because you can get $2 off when you bring the jar back for a refill! I decided to get the Mean Buggah with blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, and calamansi juice. It was really cool to watch the gal chop up the fruits (to fit the boba straw) right there!Mmm! The juice was NOT too sweet, but just right - and it felt healthy - especially after reading about the benefits of sugar cane juice!I'm looking forward to returning and trying the other flavors! Note: açai bowls, Gelato, and sorbet are also available!“
“7 Grady is said to have the best gelato in Hawaii!!A group of four girls came all the way from Waikiki to eat this haha. Just as I heard, it was so delicious and better than I could have imagined!!! I think the long walk was 120% worth it. My favorite, in particular, is the black sesame gelatoㅠㅠ I will definitely come back to Hawaii, so I promised to come again then!“
“Good shave ice. Tasty and giant portion for the regular size. The Darth Vader shave ice was very good. Very small shop but very quick service. The ice could maybe be finer texture but it was still very good. Will definitely come back for more!“
“What a little gem to find amoung all the food trucks in this area! Got the pulled pork fries, a MUST get item! Amazing, my belly was in love! Also got the Thai chicken tacos and cheese sticks which were good. I wish I could have tried everything but only was in town two days. Get the crème brûlée as it will satisfy your sweet tooth especially because I have rarely seen it in Plantbased form. Unlike most food trucks, food prep was fairly quick in the food truck area. There are picnic tables with umbrellas, free to enjoy the food we walked here from the embassy suites and is walkable pretty much from most of the hotels. I did not see any areas for cars to park, but there could have been behind the building/shopping plaza next-door.“
“A great combo of a Cafe that serves food, drinks, and desserts and attached to a climbing facility, yoga studio. I highly recommend stopping by and eating at this cafe. The service was fast and friendly and the climbing wall area was fun for the entire family.“
“New location inside Pearlridge by the food court near GNC and Genki. Same great items as their location in Kalihi. I absolutely love their desserts but I crave their soft serve. The vanilla with sprinkles reminds me of getting ice cream from the ice cream trucks as a kid! So happy they have a location close to home!!!“
“Passed this place by for months because I didn’t care for the “pro-Jesus” Bible thumping verse on the window outside but decided to overlook that this morning to see if it was as cute inside as it was outside and boy what an experience! Except for the Christian smut this place is a feast for the eyes and cute as HELL! Very cutesy but tastefully Sanrio/Harajuku oriented literally from top to bottom. My wallet was opening up all by itself. But on top of that the young man that took my order, after patiently waiting for me to finish taking pictures and videos was thoughtful, sweet, thorough and friendly. My mocha was spot on and although my orange cranberry scone was more biscuity than sconey there were a ton of other items on my list to try next time around including vegan options.What made this place stand out, though, was KINDNESS! There was an older, barefoot, unkempt man in a hospital gown that came into the store and ordered a coffee to go. He had trouble speaking and trouble walking but the young man took his order, served him and then came out to the door and opened it for him so he could walk out easily. When the same man came in later for a second cup of coffee the young man’s friend, who was also a customer, took note and got up and opened the door for him. THAT’s aloha! Put me to shame - I was kind of scared of that man. But those young people showed compassion and aloha. I love it and I’ll be back!“
“I’ll start by saying I have not had the gold standard of Maine lobster rolls. But I grew up in the PNW eating fresh shell fish of all kinds.This buttered lobster roll was delicious. It had a heaping amount of juicy lobster. The bun was toasted and held up well against the amount of butter. Wasn’t soggy. (I’d eat it right away though… might not be fabulous for take out.)You order at the inside window and then pick up and eat at the picnic tables on the patio. You can see it when you first turn into ward center. Right next to Rodger Dunn golf store. Food came out in less than 10 minutes.The staff was happy and friendly. After I finished eating, one of the girls asked how everything was and was genuinely happy to see that we enjoyed it.Worth the $20 for the roll. Especially considering this is Honolulu and the amount of lobster that was included.Parking: 3 levels of parking at ward center. It’s tight. But it’s free. Never have I not found a spot, even when busy.“
“I missed out on the YES event here, but I thought I'd give them a try. I DID NOT regret it. The staff was awesome, and the food was as well. Mentioned that we missed the event, and they gave us a bag that was given out at the event and an Ube Horchatta. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. They're located inside Palama Market in Waimalu. Parking is tight but well worth the wait.“
“Driving back from Hau’ula to Kaneohe, we stopped for lunch. We each had the laulau and it was pretty good. The side of lomi salmon was fresh. The haupia had a funny texture. Maybe we had a bad batch? The Auntie at the counter was friendly and sells chili pepper water. We didn’t have dessert, but will be stopping again soon!!“
“So this place is super close to my condo so I asked my two friends if they'd like to check it out. Oahu is just generally so behind when it comes to quality Mexican food but I had high hopes. Anyway, ordered the three tacos with beans and rice. Two shredded beef and one chicken. The shredded beef tacos were on point, really delicious. The chicken taco was good but not quite as good as the beef. Whole pinto beans, very tasty. Sadly the rice wasn't so good, definitely lacking flavor but mixed with the beans okay. Overall, I was surprised. I've eaten Mexican food all over California, LA, San Diego etc and this was good. The tall guy taking orders I think could have been a bit friendlier, he seemed a little annoyed by some questions I had about the menu. So that and the rice knocked my rating from 5 to 4“
“Food wise they really deserve five star, best açaí bowl for me in Honolulu. However customer service first time they deserve a one star, stand there for five minutes, two staff a lady and a guy just talking to each other, no one wants takes the order.. I was shocked. Second time I went back for the food, the guy was super nice. I guess it depends on who’s working, but still, the first time experience was not something I would like to experience.“
“Yummy! We had the jumbo beef dogs! Delicious!!!! All different types of toppings! I kept walking by his stand and finally tried him! So glad we did! He's right by the Hilton Lagoon, by the harbor! Worth it! Try it, you'll love it!“
“A friend of mine who is from the area said this is a must stop for the best açaí bowl on the island. So I had to try it. And he was right. The Tropical Tribe Bowl with the tropical topping and bee pollen was the way to go. It truly was the perfect bowl and everything about it was tasty. Plus, you can sit outside and soak in the beach vibes and watch the sunset. A solid experience overall and a place I recommend you visit.“
“Was early for Dr's appointments this morning and went on a search for a coffee place near by and found this little gem!Got the hazelnut latte for Mom,which she absolutely loved, and a yummy caramel macchiato for myself.Amazing customer service, got our drinks quickly and great prices!Will definitely drop by again for another coffee fix next appointment in town.Parking: It is a busy parking lot but we found a spot fairly quickly.“
“We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, a 5-minute walk from the hotel, and it had good reviews, so we used it for a family trip.It was crowded so I waited for about 20 minutes before entering.The loco moco in the morning was heavy, but the smoothie and eggs Benedict were very delicious and satisfying.Breakfast at the hotel was expensive and not that delicious, so it was a good idea to eat it outside.“
“We had an absolutely amazing experience! I ordered the vegan 4 course and my friend had the Chef's 10 course. First of all, it's difficult to find a vegan course menu from a fine dinning restaurant, the taste was outstanding! From the, beet salad, curried chow fun noodles, chickpea Madras over rice and finally the mango tapioca..every dish was perfection! My friend enjoyed every dish as well she said everything was absolutely delightful. She especially had high praises for the Samoan crab shumai, duck confit katsu bao, squid luau agnolotti and the condensed, flavorful, out of this world 90 day dry age beef.The strawberry panna cotta was to die for! First unsure if she could finish a 10 course meal but she finished everything happily! We had the most delightful first class dinner, thank you PAI Honolulu. You are one of the BEST Restaurant in town!“
“I love me a good sandwich! I'm not too well-versed in Italian authencity but Bocconcino was so fresh and filling that I would love to come back again and try their other selections. It's a small shop where they sell deli meats, pasta, wines, and other ingredients. I love that they have a covered designated eating area next door -- the convenience! The pictures fooled me because it didn't look too big until I held the Bolognese in my hand...I'm so glad my friend and I shared it because there was no way I could finish it all in one sitting. However, we also ordered the Prosciutto Arugula Pizza and I was struggling to take a bite because of the sandwich. Depiste being full, I loved everything and wouldn't mind coming back again! The wait can be pretty long so it's highly recommended to participate in their online ordering system. They have a couple stalls in front but we parked at Whole Foods and walked over“
“Located in a small park like area with multiple food trucks and plenty of outdoor seating. I had the standard smash burger with fries and ate onsite.The fries where outstanding and I liked the burger as well. The bun was warm and tasty, the hamburger meat was very good and spiced right with some tasty cheese and their special sauce.There were two people running the truck and payment was easy and quick. Both people were friendly and that was appreciated.I recommend if you want a smash burger and some fries.Enjoyed my experience.“
“Lovely friendly staff!.. great coffee and food..We stopped in here several times during a week in Honolulu and were always greeted with warm hospitality. The space is bright and clean, with a cool mural.. the vibe is just a little “corporate” but in a local small business kinda way, so it works..Definitely recommend.“
“We had the fish and chips and the brisket. The brisket was absolutely amazing. The flavors were complex in the meat was very tender. The fish and chips were delicious. There was nothing left on our plate afterwards.We enjoyed the pineapple tea and that was very refreshing as well. We finished it off with a delicious, soft peanut butter cookie. This may look like a cafeteria, but this food is high-end restaurant quality.“
“I passed by and ordered at the recommendation of a bystander who talked this place up enough for me to order on a whim. Take out only took 15 minutes and there weren’t many people waiting ahead of me. The medium rare steak was lighter in color than expected but I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and tenderness of the meat. My picky, meat-hating kid even enjoyed a few bites.We walked by later to see the sunset and the crowd for this place was much larger so definitely lucked out!“
“Reposted from @hawaiifoodreviews ????? ?????? (?/?? ?)?????: (? ?) Overall we thought the food at Seoul Kimbap was very good. ???? ?????? $?.?? (?:1) is my favorite Kimbap there. I do wish there was some American Cheese though. That would make it perfect! My wife prefers the Spicy Pork Kimbap. She says the Kimbap is the closest to homemade she's had in Hawaii. The wifey was born and raised in Korea so I'll take her word for it. You also get some fish cake soup with each order of Kimbap. I forgot to take a pic because I was excite to have the ?????? ???? $?.?? (? :2) is one of the wifey's faves. It's rich and hearty but balanced out by lots of kimchee. It is a Kimchi Soup of course!.???????? & ??????????: (? ?) We don't usually rate service for takeout but the service is always so friendly and welcoming we had to. It's like one of those friendly mom & pop shops you see on K-drama..????????: Highly recommended. This is one of those places that just make you feel happy and satisfied. They have no IG but are located in Pioneer Plaza at Fort Street Mall.“
“Thank God I used the Google Maps app to search for food after visiting Pearl Harbor and found this place. First, Joe is a delete to speak with. Kind, friendly, good story teller. Double-checked to ensure we liked spicy food because the spicy sausage was indeed “en fuego”. I ordered the ribs and a sausage to try. So thankful I did. Flavor explosion and then a very nice kick.The ribs fell off the bone when I picked it up. Perfect amount of smoke, although Joe said he left them a bit too long for his own taste. Also just the right amount of BBQ sauce. Just enough that it didn’t take away from the meat flavor. Good sweetness to it. The big surprise was the coleslaw. Some of the best I’ve had.This place was well worth the price and a damned gem on O’ahu!“
“Pros: efficient reuse of an older storefront, with plenty of seating on two levels; a private parking lot with relatively more spots than most breweries in this part of town; their heavily fruited smoothie sours are a rich, rare treat on the islands. Cons: pretty dull on a Friday evening, with no music and limited activity; weird that they insisted on table service while the bar was light; limited beer options overall.“
“The food is good. I wish the ice cream was throughout and not just on top. The flavour would have been better. The crepe is very neutral. For a dessert crepe, it could have been sweeter. Despite this, they are the best crepes I have had on island so far.“
“Past this place a couple of times visiting my sister and knew I had to visit before I headed back to the mainland. Customer service is excellent! Clean and fun atmosphere…throw back to the 50’s that definitely keep your eyes busy. Food was really good and the root beer float I recommend!“
“This establishment may be easily overlooked given its location. Tucked in the industrial area near Sand Island is another hidden gem that never fails to disappoint. Parking can be tough, as there is no parking lot and street parking fills quickly. The interior is clean and quaint, fast and friendly service, and the food is delicious!!“
“Beers are cheap, service is good. A diverse selection of hawaiian craft beers. I got to try out 4 beers for only $15. They have an 8 oz pour too, its just not labeled. A good way to chill out and relax after a long day. You can also pop the bottles you bought from here on the table!“
“Located in The Heart of China Town in Honolulu, we stumbled across Irie Jerk, a Jamaican Restaurant. In about a month we must have visited at least five times. The Mash Potatoes are the best I’ve tasted anywhere, Finger licking Good. We also tried the Oxtail, Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken and Curry Goat, all served with a choice of rice and peas ,cabbage, Mac and cheese, are all delicious. Not only is the food excellent, the owner Cadeen and the staff are pleasant and courteous. I look forward to my next visit.If you are in Honolulu, please stop by Irie Jerk, you won’t be disappointed.“
“We got the bulgogi beef and the chicken sun-dried tomato panini. The ingredients tasted fresh and the chicken was cooked well (not dry). If you’re in the mood for a quick and tasty panini then this is a great spot to go. Limited seating available so takeout is best.“
“Get the Bibimbap! Best item I've seen on the menu. Super colorful, flavorful and diverse bowl. My mother got the kalbi and was staring at my plate the entire time. Needless to say she'll get the bibimbap next time. Real good portion “
“Another little gem in Upper Pearl City. The lady serving the shave ice is very nice and friendly. We where the last ones to order and she was so nice, she gave us lots of samples to try from previous order that by the time our order came in, we were full from samples! The amount of shave ice is a lot ( we order a small each), should have ordered just one as it was a lot for my husband and I. The little place is cute with lots of sweet and happy decorations. Make sure to have cash at hand, because this place does not take credit/debit cards.“
