I love Honolulu for the variety of restaurants available. Since moving here I’ve had the opportunity to try many new cuisines and dishes. I dine out frequently but have a miniscule budget. Because I love food, I’m making a list of some of my favorite restaurants. It is unlikely that any upscale restaurants will appear on the list!
Phuket Thai - McCully
The restaurant is small and nicely decorated. The service has always been friendly and efficient and I continually crave their Yellow Curry Tofu.
Auntie Pasto’s - Beretania
I’ve always loved Italian food. Though it can be a little loud here, I love the Veggie Lasagna Roll.
Ba-Le - Nimitz
I’ve tried a few other Ba-le restaurants but this one is my favorite. Their summer rolls are great.
Da Big Kahunas - Mapunapuna
Their pizza is soo good and their Garlic Cheese Balls are to die for. I think they are in the process of moving to a new location or maybe they’ve already moved? Too bad, cuz their little beach shack location was so cute.
Tiki’s Bar and Grill - Waikiki
I normally avoid Waikiki but ventured here to see Kapena perform and had a huge plate of Nachos. mmm, Nachos!
Annam House - Ward Ave.
First place I tried Lemongrass Tofu, spicy and perfect.
Bread and Breakfast - Chinatown
The best lemon bars I’ve ever had.
Liliha Bakery - Liliha
Mmm, Cocoa Puffs and Chocolate Cherry Cake
Bob’s BBQ - Kalihi
Fried Rice Omelette, my favorite breakfast
Cold Stone Creamery
Expensive and Over the Top Fattening but so tasty.
Would like recommendations on a Mexican restaurant. I miss Mexican food and so far the places that I’ve tried here were disappointing. Any suggestions?
