The perfect eating places in Waikiki

Finest poke bowl: Poke Repair

We had SO a lot sushi and poke bowls whereas we had been there, however our very favourite is Poke Repair. The menu adjustments based mostly on what’s caught contemporary every day, and the seasoned picks are marinated to perfection. They really deal with poke like a murals; it’s by far one of the best poke bowl of my life.

Finest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe

Every part is made contemporary in home, together with their peanut butter. I really like these acai bowls as a result of the bottom isn’t too candy, they’ve gluten-free granola, and the ratio of acai to toppings is right. Additionally they have great smoothies!

Finest date night time or fancier dinner spot: A Home With no Key

That is most likely in my prime 10 resturants ever, together with the entire locations we’ve traveled. Every part is contemporary, vibrant, and you may’t beat the surroundings. You’re outdoor, dealing with the ocean and an beautiful sprawling tree, which supplies a little bit of shade for the reside music and hula dancers.

Household dinner spots: Tommy Bahama or Duke’s

We ate at each every time we had been in Waikiki. I like that Tommy Bahama provides one other menu the place every part is made in home, together with the sauces, salsas, and marinades. Additionally they supply from native farms every time attainable. Their mai tais are my favourite on the island!

Duke’s has a legit salad bar which you’ll add onto your meal for $9 (on the time of posting). Additionally they have a number of contemporary and native choices, together with poke tacos (the ladies’ fave), ginger and scallion fish (my fave), steak, and extra informal fare, like burgers and pulled pork sandwiches.

Our favourite fast chew and breakfast spot: Duke’s Market

From what we may inform, there aren’t a number of *conventional* breakfast spots (with issues like eggs, bacon, pancakes, and so on.), however as a substitute, we went into Duke’s Market every morning, the place the ladies bought malasadas (one of the best donuts!), masubi or fried rice and egg bowls, we shared a fruit bowl, and I drank an almond milk decaf latte. This was additionally an ideal place to load up on seaside snacks, like contemporary fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and so on. They’ve just about every part at Duke’s Market.

For wholesome informal fare: Nalu

We had Nalu twice this previous time as a result of it was so good, and my physique was grateful for a vegetable to go along with the entire sushi and mai tais I’d consumed. I had the rainbow salad with hen twice, and the ladies additionally cherished their sandwiches and acai bowls. They’ve an enormous menu of salads, acai bowls, smoothies, wraps, and sandwiches, and I undoubtedly wish to return and take a look at extra issues! (Additionally, the entire desserts are gluten-free!)

Finest udon noodles: Marukame Udon

This place is consistently packed – the lined wraps down the road from the time they open till they shut!- however our greatest tip is to order it on-line after which choose up on the pickup window to the proper of the doorway! The ladies LOVE this udon place.

Stunning spotlight: the gluten-free mochi butter cake on the seaside

A lady got here as much as us on the seaside carrying a big tray of packaged truffles. When she advised me the primary choice was gluten-free and it smelled DELICIOUS, I fortunately paid the $10 to eat mochi cake from a stranger lol. (She advised me she makes it contemporary on daily basis and I may see households round us additionally having fun with it, so I went for it.)

The household and I shared it, and we ended up shopping for it from her two extra instances! I can attest that this mochi butter cake is LEGIT. She additionally sells Filipino meals throughout the day, together with hen and shredded beef with noodles.

And now after ending this publish, my abdomen is formally growling 😉
