1. Hawaiian Airlines
Riding a nice wide body plane from the mainland to Oahu was nice to experience, our Boeing 767 got us to Oahu on time and in style.
Staff at the SeaTac airport were all very helpful and friendly! The Honolulu based flight crew shared plenty of good…More »
2. Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Rock star treatment, even the haole van driva, dat bugga was supa nice!
Our grand tour began with trying to rent a 12-15 passenger van, who knew with the filming of Indiana Jones IV that all the larger vans would be shipped to the Big Island for a few…More »
3. Wyndham - Waikiki Beach Walk
Aloooooooooooha!!
Right smack in the middle of Waikiki you'll find this vacation time share, while I list it as a Hotel, it really isn't one for the average Joe off the street. You have to belong to this vacation group to enjoy this little treasure.

Zoos,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Waikiki
Some 2678 miles from home we found ourselves in the middle of the Honolulu zoo, this is located on the Diamond Head side of Waikiki and well worth a visit, if you want to take a break from all the "beach" type activities.
All I can say is, gads was…More »
5. E & O Trading Company Honolulu - CLOSED
Two words for you....Reeeeel ono!!!

7. Nu'uanu Pali State Park
Home to the Nu'uanu Pali lookout, or just the Pali Lookout to locals, this place has a hauntingly windy feeling to it. Looking out over the 985-foot cliffs of the Koolau Mountain Range you'll often get blown back by the high winds whipping through…More »

We passed on the overpriced over-hyped premier packages and got into the PCC for cheap, no luau, no guide, no DVD, heck if you really want it you can buy it at the souvenir shop near the IMAX theater! If you want good lau-lau, check out Times…More »
9. Waimea Bay Beach Park
Aaaaahhhhh....perfect stormy weather sunset....
Went in the off-season the waves were gentle, July, so the kiddos had a great time. The beach has perfect sand for building castles and burying your kid sister, so says my son.
Plenty of parking, I…More »
10. Teddy's Bigger Burgers
What the heck?!! You don't take MC or VISA?? Come on! You are located near freaking Waikiki and across from the zoo and it's the middle of tourist season!! What-eva....
Thank God for ATM's I found a new best friend and he makes these deeeelish…More »
11. Noboru Japanese Restaurant
WOW! The best Japanese restaurant in Kailua hands down! Sandwiched between an Italian cafe and a bar and grill this little gem could easily be missed.
Across the street from Daiei, okay the store formerly known as Daiei in Kailua, this place has a…More »

Shopping Centers
Neighbourhood: Waikiki
Blah! And not in a good way. We got lost in this freaking place. Once you step about 40 paces into this place you are engulfed by cheap plastic crap, even the t-shirts were cheap, not in price, just in quality.
My Dad wanted to take a trip back…More »
13. Leonard's Bakery
OMG!!!
I luv dem malasadas! So much so that I've tried making them at home, it didn't work out very well, but that's a story for another time.

Here they serve'm up fresh,…More »

As far as McD's food goes, it's all the same, the difference being in the Hawaii marketplace they offer saimin and po-cho sausage and rice breakfasts!! Oh and who can pass up the fruit punch and taro pies!!! I kid you not on the latter!
At this…More »
15. Little Village Noodle House
A solid choice if you end up in Honolulu's China town, plus they have validated parking!!! That's totally unheard of in this area of town!
This place is user friendly, I mean they actually speak and understand English, having said that you'd think…More »

Travel tip for the newbie tourist to the Northshore, check this place out about 30 minutes prior to closing, the line is WAY shorter!!

17. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
IF these fine folks made it up to Seattle, WA, Charbucks would be in some serious hot water!
I luv'ed this java, pure, simple, yet bold, and didn't taste overly roasted!
I heart this place.... Heck, we even brought some of this stuff back to Seattle…More »

Beard Papa's, hmmmm.... I'm thinking salty seafaring kinds of items, or maybe a few hand crafted men's grooming tools...…More »
19. Koolau Farmers
What a treat and located right off of the highway! We stopped to pick up some red tea-leaf plants for my Uncle and Auntie as a small token of our luv for them. The plants looked great! The prices were solid and the staff were very helpful. They…More »
20. Shirokiya
Ahhh.....back in the day when Ala Moana shopping center was just 2 levels high, this place was the center piece of Japanese shopping for Honolulu, well I thought it was, I was only 11. Having just revisited this place, while on a family vacation, I…More »

5 stars for the service, well minus the numb-nuts cashier. The "wait staff" served up plenty of Aloha! Reminded me of an Auntie on my Mother's sister's side, so nice.
Food-wise, well, it's a "Sizz-la", I'm sure many peeps like this stuff, and here…More »
22. Pagoda Hotel & Restaurant
Okay this review is for just the AYCE buffet restaurant next door. Heck, I didn't even realize there was a "hotel" attached to this dive.
So, some folks would consider this a fine dining experience, me, not so much. The buffet is scary, plain and…More »
23. Kailua Beach Park
Ahhhhhh.....feel the burn!! Yup, we mainlanders had lathered up with sun lotion SPF 45, but to no avail we got burnt, some to a crisp, think almost Cajun/black'nd and some to a golden toasted marsh mellow brown.... such is life...
Parking, not too…More »

Coco Puffs? What's the big fuss?? I mean I liked them, the toping and filling was flavorful but the "puff" part was a soggy mess. The coco-puffs are made up in large batches, who needs stink'n batches!?!, sorry movie flash back....
Anyway, they…More »
25. K and K Bar-B-Que Inn
Is this a step up from L&L??
Both yes and no.
While L&L wins in the numbers game as to the number of locations you can find around the islands and better parts of the mainland, K&K has them beat in the number of items they offer on their menu!
Kalbi…More »

Hey kids, this place is outfreakingstanding!!! And I'm talking about a restaurant in a freaking mall food court!!
Okay, it's on the edge of the food court really but man, it's seriously outstanding. I luv Japanese curry, and it differs from both…More »

Honolulu, HI 96815
(808) 923-2100
I'm not sure what this place is really all about. I mean the headline of their menu reads, "A New York Style Deli, Pizzeria, Sports Bar."
Okay....then why is there a little sign out front stating the pizzas are made by Round Table!? Here on the…More »
28. Island Snow Hawaii
Meh, but in a pinch, and 89 degree weather, it's Rock Star quality....
If you are visiting Kailua and find yourself waiting for your plate lunch from K&K next door, sure drop on by and try it. As others have said the ice is too hard. I watched them…More »
29. Kailua First Stop Convenience Store - CLOSED
Have you heard of a dive bar? Then you'd know what I mean about this place, a convenience store/dive. Plenty of cool drinks, ice, snacks, and chips. Close to the Kailua beach park what's not to like.
