Let me know in the comments if you guys have any questions about Hawaii and I'll try my best to answer them! 🤙
I’m planning a Kapahulu Ave foodie extravaganza when I get there ! Great video 🌴😋🤙
Can't agree with your selections more! Recommended to go to/Stumbled upon many of the restaurants you mentioned on the list and enjoyed myself lots in each and everyone of them. I think another restaurant that deserves a shoutout is Sunrise restaurant, who specialises in Okinawan food. Its located near Rainbow Drive In and their soups/noodles are amazing. Definitely recommend everyone to try their food out! Am so glad that my favourite Avenue in Hawaii is getting a huge shoutout!
Also, Waiola Shaved Ice is near the area (opposite Safeway). Best dessert option in the area!
Thanks Big John. Great Video. I had Tankaippin Ramen at Okinawa and loved it
Mahalo!! All my top choices and more on Kapahulu !! Happy Eating and take care!!
I tried some malasadas back in December 2021 it was the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth they were disgusting they went in the bin. They are a take on the British Donuts that are filled with jam and sugar.
Appreciate the video! Where are you originally from? You don't sound like a local based off your pronunciation of certain words.
He said the red drink 😂😂
I never been to Hawaii I am going there 1/16/23 as soon as I get there I am going to Ono to eat some seafood. Thank you so much this was very helpful.
Kudos to the lovely folks who work at Leonards and Rainbow. After a year of absence the owner of Rainbow recognized us. We made it a habit to always split a plate after a morning of snorkeling and a bus ride from Hanauma Bay. Back in the old days when it wasn't so expensive.
Not a very informative video. Little commentary or description of the food eaten. Could have gotten the mixed plate to show viewers “a little bit of everything” but got the boneless chicken instead. 🤦🏻♂️
Rainbow drive in is pretty good and if you don’t mind going out of Waikiki you can go to ala Moana shopping center. Lot of good places there and across the street to the lunch pavilion in ala Moana beach near the ala Moana beach park.
Ewww! Raw fish poke looks so gross! And $17 is kinda pricey for the sloppy gravy meat thing you ordered. Love the fun music in your vids.
False the best & cheapest eat’s in Honolulu are in China town Kalihi & Waipahu
Hi Big John!
We’re from California and used your good recommendations – went to Leonard’s (always go there), Ono’s (maybe they had an off day or we should’ve ordered what you did), Rainbow Drive-In.
**Tamafuji Tonkatsu was the absolute BEST!!! Reservations were difficult to get though. Will definitely return there next time.
We also hit up a few places on Kapahulu Ave not on your list that we’re both good – Zippy’s and Side Street Inn.
Thanks so much. You should have a good tour and lead tourists to the good eats foodie man!
Kapahulu food tour without SIde Street Inn? seriously?
My bad, thought this was for/by Hawai'i Locals.
All the other vloggers didn’t present the best Waikiki eats as well as you so I’m subbie, thanks for helping us budget people, will be here 🌺🌴August 2023
Great video!!!!
Thanks! 🤙🏼
