Food Stands in Honolulu, HI

“We really enjoy the BBQ Jalapeño and surf dog. We still have plenty more to try. Every hot dog we’ve tried just works. We also like the ice cream quite a bit- it just melts quickly. It’s a bit daunting for non-vegan midwesterners so I hope they add a picture of a traditional hot dog for those afraid of veggies 😅 it would make getting non-vegan family to try options a little easier.“

“I tried their sampler. From left to right, i got:

- Holy Krab
- Tacobella
- BAE
- In & Out
- Let’s Avocuddle

The rolls were the perfect balance of a crunchy shell on the outside with softer wrapper layers on the inside. The rolls were not too oily either.

The Holy Krab was amazing. It was like a creamy crab croquette in a roll. The Let’s Avocuddle was also a stand out. I like my meat, but this vegetarian option was surprisingly good.

There was also a cheese(?) sauce, sweet chili sauce, and salsa. The cheese sauce is literal crack“

“A part of me wants to put 1 star so people don't take all the good stuff early in the day!! (JK I wouldn't do that). The food here is amazing. I could literally eat here every single day for lunch if possible. I have tried numerous dishes and they are all amazing. The question is what do you like to eat? Absolutely phenomenal! Vic is amazing and she always fixes the best plates <3 Amazing chef.“

“The Zoo itself is a great way to enjoy seeing all the animals, beautiful habitats, creative art and fun facts/history around the zoo! Jess and her co-worker in the Gift Shop were friendly, fun and very helpful! 5/12/25 Each trip to Oahu, there is always a visit to the zoo!“

“Best veggie dog I’ve had hands down. It’s also inexpensive for those who are wondering.“

“Really incredible food. The portions are large and the quality is clearly quite high. The owner is friendly as well. The flavor is impressive. My husband and I both love this place. We’ve tried pretty much every menu item. All very delicious. My favorite is the brisket bowl. It’s just so incredibly good.“

“Amazing little food truck, I would dare to say the best meal I had taking into account how much you pay and what you get. Nice little spot with shared tables, and more food trucks if you feeling like something else. The shrimps are huge and very fresh, the attention is very very good as well, basically, nothing else to ask for.“

“Swung in just ten minutes or so before closing and snagged a 9 buck bento. The staff are so friendly and it truly is a little hole in the wall quick takeout spot. I tried the shrimp Tempura bento which was the perfect size for me and I loved the variety of vegetables and sides! Their sweet potato mochi is also phenomenal even at end-of-day. Looking forward to trying other daily bentos! :)“

“Our first authentic shave ice and it blew away our expectations! Delicious, fresh, and the best sweet treat!“

“Best chicken pad Thai! Chef T and her staff are all so friendly and they work incredibly hard to give everyone an amazing dish and experience. Wait times can be a little long when they are busy but that is because everything is FRESH and made to order. Pack your paitence and check them out!“

“Tanjas Tacos is run by the sweetest people. Only thing is i wish they were open earlier.
They got the vibes, food smells amazing, all vegan menu. They're open every weekend and I think they extended their hours. Just be mindful they sometimes sell out early.
Can't wait to try their tacos!“

“Everything! Not one single word to be uttered that falls short of magnificent, John’s crew was fast and friendly, gave great recommendations and served up the most delicious lunch imaginable, 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!“

“If you are in Honolulu/Waikiki and are a fan of sugarcane juice like me, look no further. This is one of the best places to try it, they are cheap, use no extra charge for ice and make it fresh for you right there. For 20oz it's just $8.They operate for just Monday and Wednesday, so look for timings and definitely check them out. The lady was sweet and helped us buy other fruits too, we picked sugarcane, mango and papaya too and they all tasted so good.“

“Although they did seem mostly sold out by 10am, I was quite happy with what I got.
I will admit I didn't expect to find an entire strawberry inside the strawberry one 😂
Needless to say that it ended up being breakfast which I wasn't unhappy about!“

“OMG! The Hauoli Pastry Poi Mochisada is DA BOMB! Light & airy, slightly crispy outside. If I had known it was going to be this good, I would have bought 2 dozen. If you only buying for yourself, MAYBE 6 is enough, but I'm a big boy so a dozen would have been perfect for me. We discovered them at the Night Market at the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club and I'm so glad we did. If I ever see them elsewhere, I'm definitely buying again. Otherwise, I will have to wait for the next Night Market, but I won't make the same mistake as tonight, so gonna leave with 2 dozen!“

“I wonder why they serve human food but have the name “fish food”? hm, the world may never know. anywho, i had the spicy ahi bowl (?) that came with rice, some fish, and 2 pieces of gyoza with sauce. the fish was good and had the spiciness of a 3.5 on the caucasian scale of spicy; has a little kick but won’t make you cry out for jésus or anything. the convenience of having poke on base was amazing but the portion size was not! $15 or so for a small bento sized meal is a little pricey as poke bowls at foodland are about $5 cheaper and they give you more fish and rice as well.For the size of fish food hawaiis spicy ahi, i have attached a pic to show the size with an ice breakers ice cube gum for a scale (didn’t have banana for scale)“

“Best place ever. So delicious icecream:)“

“Was greeted by a kind gentleman behind the counter. He saw us looking and opened up the steam basket to show us more options but wasn't pushing us to by his food. I was already full but decided to get the fried pork dumplings. I'm so glad I did. Omg it was fresh, hot, crispy and the filling tasted just right. This place costs a lot less than where I'm from for dim sum. If I could eat more, I would've ordered more.“

“Absolutely Delicious and authentic. They grill the meat in front of you. Fast, good price and delicious!“

“Best Bagels on Oahu, without any close competition. I grew up in NJ where bagels are a religion, and had sort of given up on the idea of having a good bagel since I've lived in Honolulu. But I went to Tali's for the first time today and Holy S--t! The bagels are fresh, with a perfect bite and chew. The inside is light and full of real bagel flavor. The outside has that medium level of resistance that makes biting into a bagel so rewarding. The cream cheese schmears are delicious and spreadable. I also hit the OG lox sandwich that was so good, I think I cried a little. On top of al of that, the 2 people working there were so nice and helpful! Highly recommend!!!!!“

“a must visit in Oahu...Sammy has the Best Grinds/ and Now has the Best Cocktails Poolside @ the Bamboo Hotel on Kuhio .Donnie Roxx serves up your Fave Drinks..great Tiki bar experience!“

“This place is a must when going to Ala Moana Center and you are craving grab and go Korean food. For such a small food concession they do offer a lot of variety. It is perfectly laid out to easily spot what you want, order or grab, then pay without sending much time with the whole process. They got such a large assortment of freshly made Korean classics and more. There are little bites such as musubi or kimbap rolls and then there are little KFC - Korean Fried Chicken and even mini salads that you can just pick up on the fly. Need something more heavy, they offer ready made full size Korean bento assortments as well as build your own from the ready made food buffet that they dish out for you based on your picking. The place is very clean, everything freshly prepared and neatly packaged. Service is attentive and move quickly to get you on your way so don't waist your lunch hour standing in line waiting for your food. Check them out, I'm sure you'll find something that you like.“
