 Favorite local restaurant |
98-115 Kaonohi St (Pearlridge Center) Honolulu, HI 96818 United States +1 808 487 2421 |
Located in the Pearl City region of Honolulu, this upscale coffee shop evidences some Hawaiian and Asian influences. In addition to standard American fare such as burgers, sandwiches and entrees, you can order a first-class bowl of Saimin. For omelet lovers there are more than a hundred varieties to choose from. Fresh strawberry pie and hot fudge sundaes are two dessert items that definitely hit the spot. You can also grab a drink at the bar downstairs. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Simple, filling, inexpensive |
3565 Waialae Avenue Honolulu, HI 96816 United States +1 808 738 8855 |
Laid back, reasonably priced and friendly, this local diner serves tasty American favorites, such as ribs, burgers and sandwiches. On the Oriental side of the menu are fried rice, Oriental salads and salmon. A full bar is available. The kitchen generally stops taking orders one hour before closing time. This restaurant primarily caters to locals, but the tourists that are lucky enough to find it will be more than happy with the food, ambience and service. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sassy and sweet |
7192 Kalanianaole Highway D103 Koko Marina Shopping Center Honolulu, HI 96825 United States +1 808 396 8722 http://bubbiesicecream.gourmet... |
Once you get a chance to read the suggestive names on the menu, you might wonder just whether Bubbies was in fact named after a grandmother, or if it was named after something else entirely! But when ice cream this sinfully rich is on the menu, a naughty name is only appropriate. Generous scoops of decadent ice creams, made locally and featuring island produce, are served. Banana Splits, Cookie Sundaes, Mud Pies and other favorites, all with a questionable name, are offered. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Inexpensive late-night local pick |
3297 North Nimitz Highway (At the corner of Nimitz and Paiea) Honolulu, HI 96819 United States +1 808 836 0541 |
No-frills island favorites are served at this little eatery by the airport. If you want an authentic slice of island flavor, forego the Waikiki restaurants and park your vehicle at Byron's. Hawaiian and Asian plate lunches are served round the clock. In addition to the regular menu, which includes such staples as teriyaki and katsu, the place serves several daily specials. A typical day's menu might include roast pork, mixed plate, braised oxtail soup and Chicken Adobo. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mex-Caribe in Waikiki |
342 Seaside Avenue Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 923 7797 |
Mexican food with Caribbean flair is served at this busy bar and grill. All the familiar south-of-the-border dishes are here, but they're flavored with Cuban and Central American overtones. There is a choice of salsas ranging from very mild to so hot that you'll breathe fire. And if spicy food is your preference, you can request that your entree be served blazing. A few tropical drinks or frosted beers may cool the flames. The decor is a colorful mix of Caribbean and Mexican styles. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Omelets in Waikiki |
1911-B Kalakaua Avenue Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 949 0820 http://www.eggsnthings.com/ |
The hours of this late-night Waikiki cafe are unusual: 11p to 2p the next afternoon. Breakfast and lunch are the only meals served. As the name suggests, omelets are the mainstay here. Located on the north end of Waikiki, this is a favorite hangout for local residents and employees of area hotels and restaurants. The few members of Honolulu's bohemian community also occasionally pop by for a late night snack and conversation. The omelets are great, as are the crepes and pancakes. Note that alcohol is not served. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Food and country music |
2330 Kuhio Avenue (Outrigger West Hotel, below the lobby) Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 926 7911 |
Git on up at this down-home country style saloon. There is live entertainment five nights a week. In addition, there are pool tables, dart boards and free country dance lessons from 7p-9p. This is one of the few night spots in Honolulu that has an after-hours license; the place stays open and serving drinks till 4a each night. The live bands are mostly from the mainland and offer good, authentic country music. Occasionally a minor country star shows up to perform. There is no cover charge. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Noodle house by the University |
1785 South King Street Honolulu, HI 96826 United States +1 808 947 6065 |
A dozen varieties of ramen soup, or Saimin as it's called by locals, are served at this restaurant. As any Hawaiian local will tell you, there are few meals more popular on the island than an enormous, steaming bowl of noodles, served with meat, vegetables, fish or a combination of all three. Donburi, fried noodle dishes and soba noodle dishes are also served. Most menu items cost about $5. Table service is offered, making it a step up atmospherically from the noodle counters found at malls and shopping districts. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Chicken galore! |
1442 University Avenue In front of University of Hawaii Honolulu, HI 96822 United States +1 808 943 0390 http://www.tukuneya.co.jp/m/en... |
Located within a walkable distance from the University Of Hawaii, Tsukuneya Robata Grill is quite a favorite among the locals. The Japanese feel is enhanced by the warm oriental colors used in the decor and the staff taking the orders on PDAs. Go for the Tukune(ground chicken with veggies, barbecued and served on skewers) which is the specialty here. A casual pub, it's a part of the Nagoya chain of restaurants and a good hang-out for dates and casual dining. If you're a vegetarian then try the salads, desserts and cold drinks. What makes the place special is its true local feel and of course the genuine Tukune Nagaya with all the seasonings; the regulars can't get enough of it. Review © 2007, Wcities |
