Hawaiian Restaurants in Honolulu, HI

“Very good food.“

“This was easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had with my partner! Everything was so balanced, and every single item was outstanding without competing. The mochi dessert was to die for! It’s so well worth it, everything was so fresh. The service was also impeccable; Christopher’s recommendations were on point, and he was very attentive, passionate, and polite. Amazing dining experience all the way around!“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

“ジンジャーのpokeが特に素晴らしかった✨️✨️✨️凄くご飯に合うので丼で食べるのがおすすめです。“

“Food was good quality and decent. I was expecting a bit more of an Asian flavour. Service was super friendly but I gave it a 3/5 because we had four people dining and all our meals came at different times. My meal came after the first person finished. It didn’t look too busy. Atmosphere is great. Good vibe.“

“Make sure you triple check your oder. Today we ate at the Honolulu Bistro for the first time. The guy at the register claims he didn't rung us up for 2 sandwiches. At checking out he did say back our order. The recipe is not detailed either. The amount we paid was definitely for 2 sandwiches. We ended up sharing 1 sandwich and left.“

“Definitely the Hawaiian Eggs Benedict with toast, the fried ice cream. the tarot pina colada, etc... you will not be disappointed with anything you order. Also, don't get me started with the service. Plz ask for Jessica. That girl deserves a raise or a promotion.“

“Absolutely our best meal in Hawaii. The right choice to celebrate a special occasion. Our experience was so wonderful, food, wine, atmosphere all made for the best evening. Our server, Julian was absolutely top notch, extremely friendly, attentive, and was just so happy to engage ensuring the celebration was more than we expected. Kudos he deserves it. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back.“

“I am foodie from Japan, enjoy once or twice a month hotel buffet in Tokyo. But Orchids Sunday branch menu was the best ever. Not only does it taste good, but it also tastes good, fine scenery, number and placement of staff and their diligence noteworthy.“

“Their hawaiian plate was so Ono & the portions were big. Highly recommended.“

“We enjoyed the amazing food and aesthetic here! 10/10 recommend.“

“So good! It’s a quick way to get some food at the Bishop Museum. We ordered at the counter and while there was a little bit of a line and a wait, the food came out quickly and was delicious. We loved the poke bowl, the saimin and the lilikoi cake.“

“Best nachos! Cocktails were nice and very close to the beach“

“Eh, Howzit! Omg we haven't even eaten the food yet and it has been an awesome experience. It ain't the cheapest meal on the island, but it is a ton of food from the looks of it and we got a little bit of everything. They have all the classics, poke, like 5 kinds, chicken in garlic and teriyaki. Peak, hero level ribs, smoked beef, argh! Just got our food and must go eat the rest of it! Catch you next time!“

“Wonderful lunch with my wife at this gem I had almost forgotten about after being brought here over 10 years ago. Pleasant waitress, great food, and even a friendly cat who’s obviously spoiled rotten and loves cheese and shrimp.“

“One of my favorite places to eat. Always good service & great food.l“

“Thank you for delicious food and hospitality from three haole’s! Mahalo!“

“Everything was so beautiful and intimate!“

“First time trying Zippy's and im glad I came to this location. The service and food was a 10/10 😁 There was construction happening but that didnt get in the way of enjoying my meal. I got the mini korean fried chicken plate and everything came out perfect. If you do plan on visiting a Zippy's come to this location!“

“My first time here after seeing them on tv. So glad the worker tied the bag of my 3 plates tightly and that they use strong plastic containers. I took a sharp turn and my bag flipped to the side. My food shifted a little in the container, but at least it didn’t spill out or leak out of the containers. Love the hamburger steak with crispy onions! Omg, the special parmesan chicken was huge!! This was ono too. Will definitely go back there again. ❤️“

“Reasonably priced, great service and they put lots of food in the plate lunch!“

“The food was so good! Ok, there's no indoor dining and the outdoor dining is really rough but during our meal there the locals seemed to love it and for good reason. This is what I imagine authentic Hawaiian BBQ for the working man is like. When you go to a BBQ place and see the orange construction either shirts, is probably going to be good and it was. The girl at the register recommend the beef short ribs and they were amazing. My wife had the teriyaki chicken and it had amazing flavor, though a bit overcooked, I still finished it if for her gladly. My only warning: one dish is plenty for two hungry people! We were getting ready to head to the airport and didn't want any to go to waste, so we have half to a mother with four teenage boys. They were 😊. Definitely will return next time we visit the island.“

“I love everything about the poke here. Poke bowls are one of my goto takeout meals. I love it here becausd they have an option for sushi rice. For me, poke bowl aint bowling without the right rice. The tuna is crazy fresh. The variety is also A+ its just so sad that in this economy eating out is a rarity for my family and i.“

“best Mexican food on island, friendly service, HUGE portions - well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food, very friendly people, great prices.
Very small to eat inside but they have tables outside. Awesome food to pick up and go. Very fresh and great seasoning. The cooks are very attentive to what you want on your food.
Definitely a must.“

“Incredible flavor & huge portions! I had the Garlic Parmesan Crusted Ahi over brown rice. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“Wow I drove past this place many times, shame on me for not stopping by for a bite. Today I was just looking for breakfast and maaaayyyynnnn the breakfast combo!!!

$9.59 bucks in ward is awesome, which included 2 eggs, 1 spam, 2 pocho sausage, 2 links, and 4 bacon.!!!. Most places would probably cost 15-20+ bucks for that.

Not to mention, it was only after my order was almost done I see a sign for $1 adder for fried rice, shucks. Definitely going try that next time. I forgot to ask for over easy when I grabbed my bag and was like oh no don't be scrambled haha. We'll it seems to be standard as over easy it was, so if u want scramble be sure to ask.

On top of the deal my food was out in a few minutes behind one small order and a large order, so gray job on quick time.

Inside is your normal plate lunch seating area. There is also metered street parking along the north bound lane of Cooke St.

They have a good size menu, and I definitely will be back to try some of their other food. For now I found my go to breakfast spot in ward area haha!!!“

“Food is so Onolicious, always a good call when it comes to lunch. Ty“

“It’s all about the flavor 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🎯💯‼️“

“Roy's continues to amaze us. They built a great reputation and continue to live up to it rather than resting on it. Their chef is continuing to improve on the traditional Roy's dishes that everyone loves, bringing newer tastes to the zucchini bao buns, the hibachi salmon, the butterfish. And he is bringing new dishes to the table that continue to make dining there interesting. We were a party of five last night and every dish hit the mark. Butterfish and salmon were high quality and perfectly prepared. The ribs were the best we've had. the bao buns are better than ever. And our guests loved the desserts. The service matches the high standards of the food perfectly. Great attentive waiters who know the menu and are helpful without overdoing it. Excellent service through the meal. And wines that match the food perfectly without being overpriced. Thank you Roy's for another outstanding evening.“

“This place is a hidden gem, not too far from the beach, offering high quality meals for incredible prices. Delicious and authentic Hawaiian food that doesn't come with a hefty price tag like pretty much any other restaurant in the area.

Go support your local businesses, they deserve it!!!“

“Hard to find. But when you see the grill outside you know you are at the right place. Am pescatarian- will tell you these are the best fresh fish tacos w/ beans and rice I have had! Service is quick and friendly. Menu changes with demand. Highly recommended - always come here after beach or when friends are in town“

“I've dined at many L&L restaurants in Hawaii but this was my first visit to the location across from Whole Foods. There are lots of tables for diners, many are hidden around the corner from the drink dispensing station.

I ordered something I get at a number of L&Ls ... BBQ Cheeseburger combo (a deluxe BBQ cheeseburger, a LARGE bag of fries, and a drink); all for $12.50.

The burger contained lettuce, a thick slice of white onion, and a slice of tomato. Yum! The fries were crispy ... None were soggy ... Yay!

What can I say? I was impressed!“

“So good! It’s a quick way to get some food at the Bishop Museum. We ordered at the counter and while there was a little bit of a line and a wait, the food came out quickly and was delicious. We loved the poke bowl, the saimin and the lilikoi cake.“

“We ate at Hula tonight for the first time and Levin took care of us! He went above and beyond and made the experience for myself, my mom and daughter absolutely wonderful. His suggestions for entrees were on point and his customer service was the best we had since arriving on the island! Thank you so much!“

“The staff at Cafe Kaila are so warm and welcoming. They also have best breakfast whether you choose to eat an eggs Benedict or a banana bread French toast. Always fresh fruit there so pile it on everyone and just enjoy 😉“

“Amazing little hole in the wall poke shop. I got the yuzu shiso ahi poke bowl and it was sooo delicious. The rice to fish ratio was also perfect.

The place isn’t super obvious to find, but the location on Google Maps is accurate. The seating is very limited, so you’ll likely want to/need to take it to go.

Highly recommend!“

“Delicious hamburger curry, beef stew and sesame chicken.“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“Love this L & L location. This is always a must when we are here on vacation. This location is conveniently located in the Safeway parking lot. It is to the right side of the longs drugs store on the corner. The service is always great here and it is always fun to come here. We love the chicken katsu and kalua pork plates. The Mac salad is always a nice treat!“

“Good food & entertainment“

“Fresh made to order Masubi“

“Walked off the street looking for fresh poke and this place met expectations. The portions are generous and the prices reasonable.

The fish is fresh and the service magnificent. Staff friendly and the place is very clean. We’ll return again before vacation is over. Highly recommended.“

“Thank you allllll
Reenie and Michelle !
Yayyyyy to my “sweet sour ribs” mini plate , toss on bottom Mac salad and pickled onion OnTop …
Failed to take a picture but they know how I like it AND the meat was soft this day (~.~*)“

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

“Visited because of the good reviews during my vacation, great place and live performance was good. Food was amazing! Yet the only thing I didn't like much the service, our server wasn't the best, I know its busy but everyone should be treated nice, when we arrived she was nice then took forever to come and check what we need to order, I asked for couple things multiple times so she can bring it, I typically tip at least 20% but because the bad service is tipped 15% which is not bad. Yet she was giving us a red eye which i didn't like!! If i visited again will only visit for the food not the service!“

“chicken katsu and all rice“

“Server was great working alone… wish they would hires more help, I saw couple of families in lined and left when service was slow. My wife and I visiting the island and this place was our hang out, busy then and still popular with the locals.“

“If you're ever looking to grab lunch on campus, I recommend checking out L&L at Paradise Palms. The food was mostly what I expected in terms of standard plate lunch, but the mac salad was especially great. The workers were also very friendly!“
