One fan of Keith Robbins' bite-size mochi (ice cream wrapped in a sweetened rice confection) is superchef Nobu Matsuhisa. Try the Green Tea Mochi!
A beautiful place to kick back, relax, and enjoy the scenery while listening to live music, watching former Miss Hawaiis dance hula, all while sipping on a cold cocktail. Ahhhhhhh!
A restaurant's ultimate 5-star review is the presence of off-duty chefs eating at its bar. Classic dishes are supplemented by more unconventional dishes to form a well-rounded, delectable meal.
When visiting an island in the Pacific, sushi is an easy choice, but the long list of restaurants can be daunting. Nobu, with its excellent omakase offerings, is undoubtedly the best.
Wong's culinary skills as a James Beard award winner are superb, but not to be overlooked is his pastry chef, who has mastered fruit and chocolate desserts. Try the chocolate soda with Irish whiskey.
It's known for their nabe but a friend told us to come for their sukiyaki and it was sooooo good! Did not disappoint! The meatballs are so tasty and the prime beef dipped in the egg wash is yummy too.
Locals have been lining up here for decades for Waiola's finely shaved ice topped with ingredients like condensed milk.
The old-school/Trader Vic/Beachcomber mai tai is off-menu, but it's the best one on Waikiki.
Best blueberry cream cheese scones on the planet! Plus great prepared food, and a microwave to heat up deli selections.
Fantastic all around. Great cocktails, beer and food. A nice break from the Waikiki stops.
No real menu here - They serve a kaiseki (a Japanese set of courses) that changes each month. A sublime dining experience that I highly recommend.
If you love coffee, this is the place for you! Stumptown and local coffees slow dripped to order. A great cup of coffee takes time and they know how to make a delicious cup here!
Great atmosphere and food found here. The ramen is delicious and counter seating around the bar is clutch.
The Baked Char Siu Bau is the best you can find, especially when it's hot, steamy, and fresh from the oven.
Home to traditional favorites like kalua pig and pipikaula short rib. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

This temple is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist place of worship at Uji in Kyoto prefecture of Japan.
Of all the "must see" places we've visited in Hawaii this was one of if not the coolest. We will come back anytime we get a chance to come back to Hawaii
Made of 3 reefs in increasingly deep water, no matter the swell size, the reef churns out deadly powerful and heavy waves over a jagged coral reef. It is home to the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.
Colorful varieties of flavors and colors of shaved ice, hurry to finish before it melts, the portions are huge. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
Corey the chef is the best! Stop in here for the friendly face and truly awesome (and super customizable) poke bowls. They have salmon!
