The shaved ice at Waiola Shave Ice is to die for! Unlike many places out there that serves shaved ice on the crunchy side, Waiola serves it like fresh puffs of snow in your mouth and in different flavors. My favorite so far is their azuki bean and mochi with condensed milk shaved ice. This [...]

My very last meal before leaving Hawaii was at Morimoto Waikiki. It was a very chic place – as if I was in LA – but the food didn’t live up to the name. For $70, I got a 7-course meal, everything looking pretty, some items standing out more than others, but overall, I expected [...]

One of my all-time favorite restaurants in Hawaii is Imanas Tei Restaurant. It’s always packed but it’s worth the wait. Their fish is very fresh. I loved their salmon sashimi. I also really liked the ebi furai (fried shrimp), with each piece being huge and fried to a crispy while remaining juicy inside, and their [...]

We went to eat at Zippy’s, a chain restaurant in Hawaii, somewhat popularized by Obama for liking their “zip min”, and but more known for by the locals for their chili. I went for their chili. It was good. It wasn’t something I’d go out of my way for, but it’s worth a try. I’ve [...]

One of my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Honolulu is Takoyaki Samurai. I like it so much that I went twice in one day. The first time was to try their acai bowl, which was good, and the second was to try everything else, including what they’re known for – takoyaki. Their takoyaki was not bad. [...]

“Puka” means hole, so a puka dog from Puka Dog involves stabbing a hole into the hotdog bun with a hot metal spike, thereby toasting the inside of the bun, then stuffing it with sauces and the hotdog. It’s a hot concept, but not so hot dog. In the end, you get a cool looking [...]

I’m so hooked on acai bowls. Takoyaki Samurai, a small, local cafe-ish spot that typically serves takoyaki and a few other Japanese dishes, is another spot that sells acai bowls, and it beats paying $10 for a bowl from the mall. 2310 Kuhio Ave Honolulu, HI 96815 (808) 926-1515

I can’t seem to find any information about this acai bowl stand in an alley in Waikiki. It’s name is Lahaina Juice, and it’s located along Royal Hawaiian Ave between Kalakaua Ave and Kuhio Ave. This alley is a gem because it’s where a few other food stands live. It feels like a mini-Asia here [...]
