Hawaii, United States Food Guide: 10 Hawaiian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Oahu
Reviews on Hawaiian food in Oahu, Hawaii, United States. The Hawaiian island of Oahu is a surfer’s paradise, with swelling waves that can reach epic heights. No wonder, then, that it’s the site of one of the world’s premier competitions, the Triple Crown of Surfing. If hanging ten isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy the beautiful beaches – particularly famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Art connoisseurs will appreciate the annual Hale'iwa Arts Festival, a celebration of local crafts, painting, jewelry, sculpture, dance, and music.

Roy's is a high-end chain serving notable chef Roy Yamaguchi's Hawaiian fusion fare in a contemporary setting. Located on the ocean side of the Hawaii Kai Town Center, about 25 minutes from Waikiki, is this Original Roy's establishment. The food and service were both outstanding. Seating downstairs, with in or outdoors, is primarily for the non-reservation folks. Upstairs indoor dining is for the reservation customers. Choose the upstairs option for the best views. We had tBrie Melt for a starter followed by the Shellfish Combination and the Mac Nut Opa which was a little pricey but outstanding. The dining experience lasted about two hours. Parking is next door and is free. Both upstairs and downstairs options include a sit down bar. A Hawaiian Flat Guitar musician was playing soft dinner music downstairs (Wednesday through Saturday). There are several other locations in the Islands but this is the Original. Our server, Jason, was friendly, knowledgable, and efficient. All in all Roy's is a special occasion setting.

In a very casual, rustic order-at-counter restaurant setting with limited seating, the Shack provided outstanding food from coconut shrimp to steak to kalbi shortribs. The entire family of 12, including adults and teenagers, all enjoyed the food. Super ambiance although very casual. Must visit!

Discovered Moke's by chance as we were driving around the highway. This is a nice stopping place with a good down home menu if you are circling the island. Very nice breakfast/lunch selections.

We grabbed lunch here before entering the Polynesian Cultural Center. The food and portions were great for the price. I ordered a beef teriyaki plate, which was served with white rice and macaroni salad. The beef teriyaki was bursting with flavor, and very tender. The rice and macaroni salad were very good as well. My niece ordered the Korean chicken, which was nicely breaded white meat chicken with a tangy, slightly spicy flavor. This is a good option for a quick meal at the Polynesian Cultural Center.Thank you for sharing your experience with us and come back soon! Mahalo!

This place was recommended to me so I thought Iâd give it a go. I have the boco rota pizza. It tasted so good, garlicky cheesy goodness. It was so good that I thought Iâd try the late night menu out as itâs one of the cheapest prices Iâve seen in Honolulu (see picture).The tuna nachos were incredible and the noodle soup was good as well. Huge portion sizes, this place knows good food. An absolute must try, I honestly believe this is the best value restaurant in Honolulu for the quality of the food you are getting. And youâre paying average prices too (way below average on he late night menu).

This place was crazy bad on service.First... this place wasnât busy, yet it took 30 minutes to get food ordered. Second... the server at the window kept on disappearing. Although we didnât say anything, others in the queue were very vocal in their disapproval.Third... they took the order wrong. We ordered a Spencer with fries, drink, salad and veggie with fries and salad. This is what we repeated back to the server. What arrived was a Shem burger _without_ fries. Wrong burger. The restaurants error and they REFUSED TO PUT IT RIGHT. âI am not the managerâ is not an excuse - find the manager. âYou can stand in line and order your friesâ is also not acceptable when the queue is 30 minutes long. The correct way is you bring out the missing order.Itâs a shame we canât take the tip back, because we certainly didnât get the service or food we requested.Bottom line ... we would not go back. Just not worth it.

Cmon, admit it. How many of you have travelled to a new city, sought out the best breakfast spots, waited in line to be seated and received a "pretty good" breakfast. Hey, it happens all the time. Pancakes, eggs, hash, whatever. Lots of places do them pretty well. Now open your mind to the possibility of a restaurant that takes breakfast to the next level. That my friends is Over Easy.The custard French toast with crime fraiche is unbelievable. How about perfect pancakes...Or try an egg sandwich with Portuguese sausage on a buttery, perfectly crunchy toast.We're talking simple dishes, with great ingredients, prepared with a level of skill and care that puts you in your happy place every time. The staff is pleasant and professional, and the food... my god... the food. Just go! This is quite possibly the greatest breakfast spot on earth! I mean it.

First time trying Poke and I was a little uneasy since I have a shellfish allergy. Luckily there's no major fallout when I do have shellfish by mistake. Of course I stayed away from the shellfish options and instead opted for the salmon and fresh ahi. It was great. The food was still good after 2 days. The atmosphere is really nice but I took my food to go. I didn't understand what one of the sauces were so I asked an employee, but I don't think they understood what I was saying in English so I got what I thought would taste best. Honolulu has a large Japanese / Asian population. It was very easy to order (if you know what you want). Located in the prime of real estate in Wakiki. Very vibrant area.
