My son love the rice balls
This was my first Musubi, I heard a lot about musubi from friends and people along the way, this place came highly recommended and honestly I can see why!
Take and go place with legit food that's extremely well priced. We stopped in here every single day while in the area

Musubi Café Iyasume is a well-loved Hawaiian rice ball specialty store located on the first floor of the Waikiki Beach Walk outdoor mall. The café serves a variety of authentic Hawaiian musubi, made with high-quality rice from Hokkaido.
The menu includes classic spam musubi, along with creative options like egg spam, teriyaki, shrimp tempura and avocado, and eel avocado egg. The spam musubi features "nanatsuboshi" rice, which adds a slightly sweet flavor that complements the savory spam. The egg spam musubi has a layer of tamago (Japanese-style omelette) for extra richness.
Customers can also enjoy other Japanese dishes such as onigiri (rice balls), oden (simmered dishes), bento boxes, and more. Fresh vegetables like shiso leaves, pickled radish, and ume enhance the dish's flavor profile, providing a refreshing balance to the rich tastes.
The café maintains a casual atmosphere, with a mix of takeout and limited seating options. Many guests prefer to grab their musubi to-go for a quick breakfast, lunch, or snack. The musubi are made fresh daily, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor. While some may find the prices slightly higher than other options in the area, the quality and authenticity of the musubi make Musubi Café Iyasume a favorite for locals and visitors alike, especially for those seeking a taste of Hawaii's iconic spam-and-rice dish. The café's reputation as a small family-run business adds to its charm, making it a must-visit spot for musubi lovers.
