The very best eating places in Waikiki

Greatest 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 primarily based on what’s caught contemporary every day, and the seasoned choices are marinated to perfection. They honestly deal with poke like a murals; it’s by far the most effective poke bowl of my life.

Greatest Acai bowl: ALO Cafe

All the things is made contemporary in home, together with their peanut butter. I 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 good. In addition they have great smoothies!

Greatest date evening or fancier dinner spot: A Home With no Key

That is in all probability in my high 10 resturants ever, together with the entire locations we’ve traveled. All the things is contemporary, vibrant, and you’ll’t beat the surroundings. You’re outside, dealing with the ocean and an beautiful sprawling tree, which offers a little bit of shade for the stay 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 affords one other menu the place every little thing is made in home, together with the sauces, salsas, and marinades. In addition they supply from native farms at any time when doable. Their mai tais are my favourite on the island!

Duke’s has a legit salad bar which you’ll be able to add onto your meal for $9 (on the time of posting). In addition they have quite a lot 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 quite a lot of *conventional* breakfast spots (with issues like eggs, bacon, pancakes, and so on.), however as an alternative, we went into Duke’s Market every morning, the place the ladies acquired malasadas (the most effective 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 amazing place to load up on seashore snacks, like contemporary fruit bowls, sushi, drinks, sandwiches, smoothies, and so on. They’ve just about every little thing 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 together with the entire sushi and mai tais I’d consumed. I had the rainbow salad with hen twice, and the ladies additionally beloved their sandwiches and acai bowls. They’ve an enormous menu of salads, acai bowls, smoothies, wraps, and sandwiches, and I positively wish to return and take a look at extra issues! (Additionally, the entire desserts are gluten-free!)

Greatest 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 decide up on the pickup window to the fitting of the doorway! The women LOVE this udon place.

Shocking spotlight: the gluten-free mochi butter cake on the seashore

A lady got here as much as us on the seashore carrying a big tray of packaged muffins. 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 day-after-day 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 occasions! 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 put up, my abdomen is formally growling 😉
