“Good chicken, Just ordered a whole chicken plate, Had them chop the chicken in pieces which cost a $1 more. BUT!! After I left to my office to eat I notice my chicken wasn’t hot. Literally within 5mins of leaving but my food ain’t hot. Y’all literally just pulled the chicken out the fridge and warmed it up. I literally thought I was paying for a HOT PLATE.“

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

“Ate there today.. best BBQ pork I’ve had here on Oahu. Hawaiian sauce was wonderful and baked beans were simmered with tiny pieces of jalapeños, had a slight delicious kick. Wedge salad… heavenly. i“

“I’ve had L&L and many other variations, but this is the best Hawaiian BBQ I’ve tasted, full stop.Ordered the BBQ mix plate and chicken katsu, and every component - from the rice and macaroni salad to the meat - was perfect.Don’t hesitate, just go here.“

“Friendly staff and yummy food.“

“Fantastic #4 BBQ chicken. Lots of food for a good price in Hawaii. This isn't a great sit down place but I was planning to take food to go. I loved they didn't take 30 seconds to get my food. They cooked the chicken fresh on the spot. I waited about 15 minutes which is how long chicken should take to cook. Great spot.“

“Best fresh chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! Every time I’m on Oahu I make time to get a bite to eat here!!“

“This is the perfect hidden food place that locals go to. Good food, good prices and the service is practically non existent. Meaning, it's 99% take out. There is a small table outside but that's why it's cool. No nonsense food at a good price. I highly recommend the Bento #1, the Katsu and the fried chicken.

Parking: The parking is hard to find but if you wait for a few minutes someone will leave.“

“Lamb skewer shop. A restaurant that serves grilled food. It's delicious ~ I like that it's close to Walmart. Good for a quick drink. Revisit 2023.Absolutely delicious ?Cheap and delicious. The alcohol is cheap and good! 2024 3/31 Happy Easter. It's good to have a break.“

“Fabulous food!! Best in Waikīkī!! The food truck across the street from the convention center. 5 stars!!!! They have a restaurant too!!!“

“burger was amazing. grilled mushrooms and onions were perfect. burger was bursting with flavor. and the tots were a perfect crispiness“

“Hanna and Ming are so awesome. The food is soooo yummy. They make special requests for me without batting their lashes. Their curry is really good and matches well with... well... everything!!! I usually ask them for salt and pepper chicken with curry. They add fresh spicy peppers, jalapeños I think, and onions. Its really amazing. I wanted to change it up and asked for steamed fish with curry and just peppers and Ming was like "Sure, I can do that." I didn't want rice or Mac either and he said no problem. This is what I got! Nice and spicy, fish is so tender and their curry sauce is always my go to. I'm serious, its pretty amazing!!“

“very good food, authentic ilocano food“

“The owner makes sure she gets your order right and is very friendly. The portion sizes here are great. My husband and I were able to eat off one combo plate while also sharing an appetizer. I highly recommend the korean fried chicken plate. Absolutely would visit this location again.“

“I came here the other day and I have to say the food and the service is beyond fantastic! Walking in, i’m greeted with a warm welcoming smile. The work ethic of the employees are top tier and the food from presentation to taste went past my expectations. I’m very happy to say i’d love to come here again!“

“Food & service were exceptional!“

“Tropics Mini Golf is a fantastic family-friendly spot that offers more than just a game of mini golf! The lush tropical setting creates a fun atmosphere for all ages. The course is well-maintained and features unique holes that keep it interesting. After playing, we enjoyed some delicious snacks from their cafe, which was a nice touch. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our visit even more enjoyable. A perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon in Honolulu“

“Always great tasting fresh food and they change their specials every day plus large portions make my opu really happy every time I stop by! Totally recommend this place! 🤙🏼“

“Always love ordering take out here at Ono Korean bbq. I'm craving kalbi today. Always quick and friendly service.

Vegetarian options: You can order just the side dishes as a plate mix. They will let you chose 4-5 side dishes items. I love their broccoli and bean sprout side dishes. They also have plain tofu as side dish.

Parking: There's always plenty of parking. We never had a time where we would go looking for parking.“

“This spot is straight heat. I always come here for their plate lunch with the cake noodle upgrade. It’s honestly a great deal since it comes with your choice of protein, cake noodle, cabbage, and a gau gee. They even give the sauce on the side so the cake noodle stays nice and crispy. This time we got two duck plate lunches and a pound of roast pork. Everything was tasty and delicious, and this place is always my go-to for duck and roast pork.“

“Sunset Lanai ia a great bar with an awrsomr view. They have a really nice bar area and outdoor patio that overlooks pearl harbor. The bar tender was very friendly and prompt. The wings were great, just crispy enough. The fries were really good, seasoned well, and crispy to perfection. Defineftly would go back.

This place is on post.“

“Ordered the Mahi katsu. Taste delicious, value for cost, excellent. The plate was just under 14 dollars and there were 4 count um 4 full sized pieces of fish. They have many side dishes to choose from as well. If you are a fish lover, this is the plate you've been looking for.“

“The best Korean food you can enjoy!
I am in my 8th month of pregnancy. Korean food has helped me a lot during my pregnancy when I was suffering from morning sickness and other health problems. I first came to this restaurant with a friend for a relaxing meal of delicious Korean food before giving birth.
I wish I had known about this place earlier!
I ordered the Seafood Soft Tofu Stew and also ordered the Beef Bulgogi for takeout. I am a big soft tofu stew (sundubu) lover! The seafood sundubu here was so good! Even my baby belly was moving with great excitement!
The banchan were all delicious with just the right amount of salt!
Now I'm coming back for the BBQ!“

“Kau Kau is serving up delicious grinds consistently. The BBQ sauce on the ribs is some of the best I've ever tasted. Mac salad is kept separately so it doesn't get warm sitting next to the ribs and rice. Prices are fair. If you have never been, I strongly suggest you try it. The whole menu on point.“

“Yummy Korea BBQ at Pearlridge Mall is one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something flavorful and filling. What really sets it apart is how clean and well-kept everything is—you can tell they take pride in how they run the place. The food always tastes fresh, from the perfectly grilled BBQ chicken and kalbi to the crisp, well-seasoned sides. There’s a depth of flavor in their BBQ that you just don’t get at most other food court places. It feels like real care goes into every plate. For a quick bite, it’s surprisingly satisfying and always hits the spot.“

“This is close to me but I never got around to going. Today I got the Hawaiian Mixed Plate. All you need on one plate. Fast, friendly service. Delicious food. When family comes to visit, we're going to take a short walk to Queen St BBQ.“

“Our fave restaurant in Waikiki. We ate here on our first night, had our first American Thanksgiving here & made sure we came back on our final night. Food & service was amazing every time!“

“I like local restaurants and L&L is good with reasonable price. Chicken Cutlets is a little bit oily but Loco Moco is very good. Don’t expect super clean tables and chairs.The loco moco here is cheap, the amount is so large that you can't finish it (regular), and it's delicious. During lunch time (starting around 11:30am), there are a lot of locals working in the area, so it gets crowded, so the later hours are often empty.“

“I had no idea that the order comes with 4 sides. Next time I will double the Mac Salad. Everything was ono and even though there was no soy in packets there was something similar but better than any soy sauce I've ever had. I was there at 2:30 which is well after their lunch rush but the fish Jun was cooked fresh and two big scoops of rice for the local touch. Aloha“

“Wow…we loved our meals. We stopped here by quickly on our way from Waikiki to the airport, and easily found street parking. The vermicelli bowls with lemongrass chicken & tofu (and a banh mi with pork + chicken) were so fresh, so filling, and really high quality. Delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. The service was kind, as well. Highly recommend for a relaxed & high quality meal!!“

“Came in and ordered Teriyaki beef Saimin, mini Loco Moco, Salmon burger with a side of fries, and a mini Chicken Katsu. Very delicious, the chicken was crispy, salmon was cooked well, noodles in the Saimin were not over cooked, and the Loco Moco was great! Highly recommend stopping in here!
We dined in, the A/C could be a little bit colder inside.“

“I visited this food truck on my very first night on the island, and it instantly became the highlight of my trip. It was so delicious that I was a little sad they weren’t open on the weekend, because I was already craving a second visit! I ended up stopping by twice during my stay, and it was hands down the best food I had on the island. The flavors were phenomenal, the portions were huge, and the staff was so warm and welcoming. They even remembered my name, which was such a nice touch.

The first time I was there, I tried the smoked meat and Kalbi beef combo, and the second time I went all in with the smoked meat, Kalbi beef, and the garlic shrimp. Everything was just phenomenal. And I have to mention: definitely try the iced tea or the Island Crusher drinks—they’re super tasty as well. This place is an absolute must any time I visit the island, and I highly recommend it!“

“I just love they're fish burger, deep fried battered fish that is super tender inside with amazing onion tarter sauce & coleslaw with tender buns. It's unbelievable you must try it to believe it. They also are known for they're BBQ.“

“We had the seafood combo, the teriyaki steak bowl, double cheeseburger deluxe, chicken sandwich and two orders of fries , 3 fountain drinks and a coconut water. Steak bowl was small but it was very filling. Burger was huge and so was the chicken sandwich. Seafood combo was delicious. Definitely recommend“

“Go here!! 8 dollar lunch special with char siu and roast pork, side of rice and gai lan. Food is amazing. Char siu is moist and flavorful.

When you are done turn to your left to papa’s cafe and get the lilikoi and calamansi green tea - delicious.“
