“Honestly I didn't expect to like this place as much as I did. A small shop in Waikiki that was close to my hotel. There was always a line in the morning so I knew there was potential but wasn't sure if it was just because it was convenient or good food. The answer is definitely both. With many tourists needing a grab and go meal before their next adventure snorkeling, driving, going to the beach, Musubi Cafe is a fantastic almost unbeatable option. Homemade vibes with $2-$4 per packed musubi, it's hard to beat. The eel egg spam was featured in a news article at the shop so I had to try it and the lady at the counter also recommended the bacon avacado spam. The eel egg was definitely unique (putting a high end twist to the musubi concept) and flavorful. And the bacon avacado spam definitely pleases the American palate. Tastes very much like an American breakfast. But to me and my wife, you couldn't top the egg and spam musubi. Simple but more than just the spam since the egg compliments it and accentuates it just right. And the price is definitely right too. The rice balls I felt were not as flavorful and mostly rice. I'd recommend the traditional musubis. We ended up picking some up before a beach day and some up before our flight back to the mainland. There's no dine in option and little waiting room inside so you line up outside until your number is called over the speaker. Highly recommend as a very useful and tasty option.“
“This food truck is in a little food truck corner on the busy Kuhio Ave, but it's a pretty cute and clean place with seating (most tables don't have shade). I came here last time I was in Honolulu and came back again for lunch. We ordered the miso butterfish which I remembered being so good last time and it was still amazing. So tender and flavorful, really hits the spot. The wait is a bit longer than expected for a food truck (same thing happened to me last time), so maybe don't come if you're in a rush. A bit on the pricy side but also it's in the middle of touristy Waikiki. Other than that, highly recommend!“
“Hands down the best chicken place I've ever been to! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and friendliness that made me feel right at home. The customer service here is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure every customer leaves with a smile. And let's talk about the chicken - it's absolutely phenomenal! Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, each bite is a culinary delight. Whether you're a fan of classic fried chicken or crave something a bit more adventurous, this place has it all. Combine that with the welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service, and you've got yourself a true gem of a restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back for more! This place is so underrated!“
“First time here and the employees were very welcoming and warm. The spicy ahi poke bowl is flavorful, filling, and delicious. There aren’t a lot of places to sit, and only street parking available, but the service and food quality is worth making this a local favorite lunch spot. We will definitely be back!“
“Sorry I didn't take a picture of the food . I was too busy devouring the perfection on my plate.The fries are some of the best I've ever had at a burger joint.I got the regular cheeseburger and it was divine. The BB sauce was light and flavorful. I love that they didn't put too much on it. Crispy edges to the burger just like it should be. The bun was soft and fresh.“
“New location for those who don't want to drive towards Northshore for the original Shimp Truck. That location has its own charm and is a nice stop for a trip around the island. This location is a much more convenient way to enjoy their shrimp.“
“Best chicken tenders & chicken sandwich I have ever had!! The real deal here... Not no pressed grinded up meat here, you can tell they use real chicken, and that dipping sauce though????so good! Anytime were in Kapolei we will make the stop to satisfy our chicken craving. Comes with Texas toast, coleslaw, fries and a drink.“
“"A good burger is a messy burger." This is it. One of my favorite burger spots for fresh patties with fresh ingredients. Service is friendly. Nice spacious restaurant. On the pricey side...but you are paying for a real burger...not a fast food one. Their milkshakes are awesome and I feel like they're underrated. Made from real ice cream. Awesome spot. But be ready to pay.“
“Impressed by the setup using counters that people normally are seated at to accommodate extremely long lines of customers. Most food court vendors have two or up to four workers. It was impressive Chick-fil-A seemed to have at least 10 workers. Truly the company had been blessed for taking a firm stand for Godly values a few years ago when it was the norm to bow to pressures supporting ungodliness.“
“Love their bowls here. Their curries are my favorite, especially the beef curry. Super thinly sliced so it's just the way I like it. I also got a side of kim Chee with it. Very yummy. They give a good amount of meat. Uncle always gives us an extra stamp on our stamp card.“
“Went here for dinner, meals were good however the $25 brisket plate had two small chunks of brisket. Wasn’t super happy with the pizza but it was as advertised. We also got wings which were seasoned very well although why they even bother serving the ends of them when they’re too burnt to eat is beyond me. Service was great.“
“Online ordering available and really convenient. They are located inside of beer lab at Pearl ridge. Food goes great with the beer available. The wagyu burger is a must. Fries tastes similar to curly fries from jack on the box, but 100 times better. Definitely will be coming back.“
“Finally was able to make it here during our Oahu vacation, they open early and close at 3 and we kept forgetting that lol Ordered steak street tacos and a steak quesadilla. The steak is flavorful, and isn't chewy. Green salsa is great and they have different hot sauces The quesadillas is a good size and has all the fixings Definitely worth the stop, we will be returning to try their breakfast burritos“
“In town for business and the security guard told us to eat lunch at Zippy's and have the Zip Pack. Not only did we have the Zip Pack, we had the Deluxe. In my mind, to have a plate with all of these very different things makes little sense - but it works. Especially when you are hungry! It's about a pound of rice, lol, a piece of fried fish, beef teriyaki, fried SPAM and a deep fried chicken thigh! Macaroni salad is on the same plate and the DELUXE version will add a huge scoop of chili on the rice. While none of these will be anywhere close to the best you've ever had - completing the lunch will give you a story to tell for the rest of your life! I'm guessing it's 2500 calories and I didn't want to eat for the rest of the day. Our server was hilarious and had fun with us. Decor is like a "mid" diner. The locals back at our office LOVE this place and were glad we stopped in.“
“Been a Mark's customer for years now. Food is reasonably priced, always tasty & ready in 10-15 min. Usually order the "Spiced Beef w/ Bell Pepper" or the "Beef Tomato" but everything I've ordered has at least been a solid 8/10. Oh, and don't worry if the ordering process feels a little confrontational, there's just a slight language barrier so it's unintentional . Great family-run restaurant.“
“This is a burger shop located in the food court on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. I ate the cheeseburger and pineapple teriyaki, and both had simple seasoning that emphasized the ingredients, allowing you to enjoy the deliciousness of the meat!It's more voluminous than it looks, so I think it's a lot for each person.The dining space has an open atmosphere, so you can enjoy the resort atmosphere!“
“Every time you come to Hawaii, this place is a must food is always consistent. Tons of varieties. I personally Unagi with egg, but the classic spam. Musubi’s are also good as well very well. Price is probably one of the best priced meals you can have in Waikiki 100% justice for anyone that comes you gotta try the classic spam musubi.“
“Went mid-afternoon and most of the tables were dirty when we sat down.Food was hot and fresh, as usual. It's one of my wife's favorite fast-food spots, though I personally don't love it.I did, however, love the sweet tea. Reminded me of home.“
“First of all, the two ladies working the Carl's Jr, which is also a gas service station, do an amazing job. The food was sooo good. Fries were super fresh, tasty and crunchy as well as the burgers. It has been a while, since I ate at Carl's, but it was as good as I had remembered it. The only thing that was a pity was the fact that it is located within a small gas station and therefore only offers a few seats and no real toilet and no good convenient atmosphere. They would attract many more customers with a real location; there are so many Jack in the Box, Mickey D's or BKs on Oahu, but only this one Carl's Jr. Nevertheless, I would still get the food from Carl's and eat in the car, because of their food quality, which does not taste like fast food at all.“
“When visiting from the U.S. Mainland, I usually visit this Zippy's location because it's close & convenient to where my relatives live. Service is usually fast & efficient, the restaurant is reasonably clean, and the menu selection and quality are excellent. As a creature of habit, I usually order the Korean Fried Chicken plate ($17.65, Sept. 2023). A somewhat healthier version is the Korean Chicken Salad ($16.45). And we usually check out the bakery selection (Napoleon's Bakery) for something sweet to take home.“
“Janet and her team are awesome! The place is super clean despite being in an industrial area where there's lots of dirt and dust in the air. Janet really makes it a point to take care of her customers and ensure they are happy with their order. The food is always fresh and tasty!“
“Food = excellent always. No issues with taste here. Blows away subway or any other sub shop in my opinion Service = excellent and very attentive. Ambiance- it's a sub shop! Very busy at times. Especially at lunch. Ordered at giant "famous Philly" awesome sandwich! HEY DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE APP! order a sub and they will give you 72 SHORE POINTS! BTW that's a reg sub! 1-1/2-29. Can't beat that!“
“Staff is absolutely amazing my best-friend and I are visiting from california and this is the best service we have had in a long time. The lady who helped us worked so hard and quick especially considering she was by herself. Don’t walk but run to this subway!“
“Got it to go so I can't say a thing about the atmosphere except it was very clean , after I got home I really enjoyed the lunch the chicken was so juicy and tasty and crispy, I'll surely go back , the one thing that is not the same is they don't have the spicy chicken any more that was sooo good but the regular chicken is sooo good also try it u won't be disappointed.“
“I been catering my parties with them for over 10 years & everyone always raves about the food & asks where it's from. They have good party packs & give alot of food. Sometimes it could use more flavor but it's still really good. Of course it's gotten more expensive but still worth it bc they give alot. They let you sub most items, sometimes with a little upcharge. Their chicken wings are one of the best on island, sometimes I stop by just to get the chicken wings with giant fries.“
“We were SO happy with the food we ordered for our family's Chinese New Year party. Everyone loved it (especially the duck!), and there was plenty of it. We ordered ahead from the party menu, which I highly recommend. We had about 30 people and ordered the medium size of 4 different dishes plus the large serving of duck. There was plenty of everything and leftovers :-) Also, kudos to the staff who were so kind and friendly on what had to have been a super stressful day. Great start to year of the dragon! I would call them again for a party in a heartbeat.“
“First experience at Zippys last night fir dinner and we really enjoyed it. We ordered at the counter and chose to eat in. We chose a Zip Pack Deluxe which includes chili, mac salad with golden fried chicken, crispy breaded white flaky fish filet, tender teriyaki marinated beef, and Spam®, on a bed of rice topped with classic Japanese takuan pickled radish and furikake seasoning ($18.60) and also ordered a mini Loco Moco- An iconic Hawaii dish invented by hungry Hilo teenagers. A juicy hamburger patty atop a bed of rice, smothered with brown gravy and topped with two eggs. Served with mac salad($11.30). We shared both entrees and if this sounds like a huge amount of food…it is. The Zip Pack Deluxe we could have shared without ordering anything else and we would have left quite full. The fish and chicken were really good and the teriyaki beef was a little chewy but good flavor. The macaroni salad is really good and the chili tasted great too.The Loco Moco was probably our favorite dish. The brown gravy with the rice and hamburger Patty were very tasty and reminded us of Salisbury steak we used to eat at home. We will definitely order this dish again and we chose to have our eggs scrambled.We will return to Zippys and can recommend it if you are visiting and there is one neat by. We wanted to try a local restaurant and this one is a good one to experience. It appears that they have a table service section too. We didn’t realize this until after we ordered at the counter.“

“Good awareness to allergies, especially if you know what you can and can't do. For me it's Gluten (they have GF buns! Just let them know you can't have it in the same toaster.) and Dairy (easy, no cheese or butter on bun.)I had a single with avo, bacon, pickles, lettuce, tomato and it was fantastic!Dietary restrictions: They have Gluten free buns and really did a great job getting my special order right!“
“This location has an attentive and smiley staff and they make really tasty sandwiches. I am exploring the menu a bit more now and tried the tuna today. Loaded it up with lettuce tomato provolone pickles and banana peppers. Stacked on their whole wheat bread. It was healthy, light, filling, and delicious. So happy with this as one of my choices for lunch. Btw - their brewed fresh tea is quality.Parking: Around back and up top.“
“Listen, is it cafeteria food? Yes, but it was the only decently priced food on the *entire* beach. Grab something to go, and then take it to the beach to relax. Cheaper than the Honolulu McDonald's by far. We were so thankful this little spot exists!“
“Got off the cruise in Honolulu for a day and went to the Ala Moana mall for lunch, looking for something different not a burger are some other fast food and cane's was there. Got some chicken fingers and a lemonade.went a burger wont do try cane's chicken with dipping sauce“
“Been going here for awhile lately, haven't gone in awhile, food still good, nice friendly workers, they might want to think about renovating the inside a little, now that indoor seating is back, ordering area little cramped, all in all, still a go to place to get your local fix at decent prices not to mention huge portions! I think it's under new management too, looks like different owners, could be wrong..“
“This was money well spent. Prime rib and roasted chicken were excellent. The best buy we've had in this Makai Market Food Court. The food was excellent with a nice balance by offering salads and broccoli with our meats, and servings were generous enough to feed two people!Will definitely come again.Vegetarian options: Corn, broccoli, salads, coleslaw salad.“
“I ordered a BBQ Chicken and BBQ Beef combination plate from here and enjoyed it so much. The beef had a delicious char flavor and the chicken was amazing, what was more amazing was the great service I was provided here by the staff.I recommend this place as there is so much to choose from on the menu.“
“I have visited this establishment approximately twice, and on both occasions, I chose to dine in. During peak times, the queue can become quite long and the service may be slower than desired. However, when the restaurant is less busy, the wait time is minimal or nonexistent. One aspect that I particularly appreciate about this establishment is the positive and friendly atmosphere. The staff members are courteous and welcoming, greeting customers with a warm "Aloha." Despite being situated within Seafood City, which can be quite crowded, the restaurant manages to provide a variety of seating options, including regular chairs, stools, high chairs, and benches. They also offer tables that can accommodate teams, small to large groups, or just two people. I would like to express my appreciation for the ladies who diligently ensure that the tables, counters, and chairs are wiped and cleaned after each customer's use. In terms of menu recommendations, I highly suggest their spicy chicken sandwich, spaghetti, peach mango pie, and fried chicken. However, I must mention that on both of my visits, the chicken tenders I received were unfortunately hard, stale, and of poor quality. Therefore, if I were to order the chicken tenders again, I would kindly request that they be freshly prepared. Overall, my experiences at this restaurant have been positive. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the establishment is well-maintained and clean.“
“The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the koren chicken, chili, mac salad, fried chicken ?...oxtail soup was bland, fried noodles was salty and the zip pac was not my thing ?....it took a while to get our food...maybe because we were a family of 4.Next time we will order separately.“
“It always seems crowded but the lines moves fairly quick. The chicken fingers are always soft with a light crunch to it. The bread is delicious and chewy. Fries are hot and fresh. The sauce is very different. I would say better than ChikfilA in my opinion.Free parking in the building in the back.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Subway located at 1425 Liliha St #6, Honolulu, HI 96817, and I must say it was an amazing experience. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that the staff at this Subway truly puts love into making their sandwiches.The level of care and attention they put into each sandwich was truly exceptional. They took their time to layer each ingredient with precision, ensuring that every bite was full of flavor and texture. It was clear that they were not just throwing together a sandwich, but crafting a culinary masterpiece.The staff at this Subway were also incredibly friendly and engaging. They greeted me with a smile and treated me like a valued customer. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful suggestions for toppings and sauces. It was clear that they took pride in their work and wanted to ensure that every customer had a great experience.In addition to the amazing sandwiches and friendly service, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and inviting. The seating area was well-maintained and comfortable, creating a pleasant dining environment.I highly recommend visiting this Subway location on 1425 Liliha St #6, Honolulu, HI 96817. The staff's dedication to making delicious sandwiches with love and care, coupled with their friendly service, sets them apart from other Subway locations. Give it a try and experience the difference for yourself!Best on the Island!“
“Fast service even with long lines. The food is more pricey than other fast foods but the quality of the food is really good! I love their spicy chicken deluxe sandwich. Donʻt forget the sauces which are all good! I usually order a Shake too. Itʻs nice and creamy. One of the best shakes on island.“
“Forget Chick fil A, Poppies is where it’s at! ? Their chicken is so crispy and crunchy, you can hear it crackle with every bite. ? And the spice level is just right, not too mild, not too wild. ?️ Plus, you get to enjoy the Louisiana vibe, with colorful decor and friendly staff. ? And don’t get me started on their sides, they are out of this world! ? Biscuits, fries, mash, honey, and more, you’ll want to try them all. ? I can’t get enough of that chicken from Poppies, it’s my favorite thing ever! ?“
“One of the most welcoming places you’ll get to eat at in Mililani. Feels like home every time I come here. If you’re looking for a good place to eat, that’s always available with a friendly vibe this place is it. The foods great, the people are great and in the last 3 years I’ve never had an experience that didn’t make me happy! Thanks - “The Large Spicy” guy ?“
“March ‘23Jets is a local small mom & pop kind of food joint. No frillsWe ordered Loco Moco and Dbl chz burger.Loco Moco was full of flavor. Take this Loco Moco over Rainbow Drive-In’s, as well as the burger too, everyday of the week.Good sized portion and good price.“
“10/10 or 5/5 just wow. The first time I tried this I fell in love instantly. The crispy juices tenders with that soft Texas toast I just couldn't enjoy it more especially with that sauce wore a raising canes shirt to my banquet and they LOVED it.“
“Great take out place!Just come here when you are near by or just too lazy to cook . LolEverything is good but my fave is ontama beef bowl.M size is plenty with 2 eggs. I couldn't finish all.Bottle water was just $1. That's nice that they are not ripping you off like other restaurants... but I wish they have a pitcher of water for dine in customer.“
“after two visits to the Taco Bell on Valkenburg road, I found that staff were polite, friendly as well as consistent and their sanitary practices in the kitchen as well as their lobby. Staff are consistently engaged in business related activities as well as considerate conversations while they work.“
“Unintentionally walked in close to closing with my bf and Mike was so welcoming and provided us with stellar customer service without rushing us. One last customer walked and in and Mike invited him in with a warm professional attitude and it was refreshing! My Bf forgot my cookies, Mike overheard and came back to the register when he could have let it go because I clearly said “it’s okay, I’ll get cookies at 7/11” he took care of us and ringed us up promptly and again demonstrated great service. Thank you Mike! Your work ethic is refreshing to witness.“
“Stopped at Lewers Street Pizza & Ice Cream for a snack after some drinks and dancing at Kikis Upstairs. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the ice cream was so good! I got the ube flavor and it definitely hit the spot for the late-night sweets craving. The smell of pizza was tempting me as I saw people walking away with some, will have to come back and try it! Honestly, the perfect combo is grabbing a late dinner at The Pupu House, going to Kikis Upstairs to dance and grab drinks, and then stop at Lewers Street Pizza & Ice Cream for the after-club munchies.“
“Ordered the Spicy Chicken Deluxe combo from here with a Large Diet Lemonade and tea. I really would come back here just for the drink too. Really Love the food from here and my Mom loves the waffle fries from here and she loves the lemonade from here. It is located across Ka Makana Ali'i mall in Kapolei. Best to enter on North South Road into CVS Long's Parking lot. They have workers outside to take your orders. The workers bring out your orders to you once it's ready as you wait in line. We will defiantly return cause Momma's already craving the waffle fries. I'm craving the Large Diet Lemonade and Iced tea.“
“Been a while since I had Arby's. Stopped here because it was right there and I was sick of Jack in the Box. What an awesome decision it was. They have crinkle fries, I didn't know ?. Server was very good, helpful, patient and awesome with service. The food was oh so delicious and freshly made. The area it's located can be a little scary at night but overall it's safe.“
“While on the beach after watching the sunset we decided on a snack before heading back to our hotel. Right behind the Army Museum on the beach were a series of fast food type establishments. We chose the Subway. They were beginning to clean up to close for the night but stopped everything and prepared a delicious sandwich for my wife and I to enjoy. The young ladies on duty were polite, professional and very happy to serve us. Subway has two great employees.“
