672 Kilani Ave Wahiawa, HI 96786808-622-3003Hours: Monday to Saturday 7:00 am – 3:00 pmFriday 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm Autumn and I wanted some fresh ceviche on our last day on the island. We searched for a bit and found this place which was sort of hard to tell if they had ceviche or not, but after a quick call, we determined they did. The parking lot was quite small but we pulled in next to the crowded barber shop, parked, and went in. Autumn was immediately sold due to the murals found on the walls, specifically Selena. We were seated and the place was pretty busy. Our waitress, who…

590 Farrington Hwy Ste 130 Kapolei, HI 96707808-693-9922Hours: Monday to Thursday and Sunday 10:30 am – 9:00 pmFriday and Saturday 10:30 am – 9:30 pm Kaiten-zushi, or conveyor belt sushi, is so cool. It’s small colored plates with different options to pick from that go around the seating areas on a conveyor belt. You pick your plate off the conveyor belt and stack your plates when your done and are charged based on the different colors and number of plates. It gives you a great opportunity to try lots of different things without committing to entire rolls if you don’t know that you like them or not. We got to…

1777 Ala Moana Blvd Honolulu, HI 96815808-670-1915Hours: Monday to Sunday 7:00 am – 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm Cinnamon’s is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast… anywhere. Back in 2014 we were headed to a breakfast place Kellyne had picked and for some reason it didn’t work out and I had to find a replacement. I found Cinnamons and everyone was a bit hangry at the time so the 2 hour wait didn’t help matters. I wandered off to the upstairs area in that shopping center and stumbled upon a chocolate store which had a chocolate tasting tour of sorts and it was fantastic. That…

55-730 Kamehameha Hwy Ste 102 Laie, HI 96762808-888-7193Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 11:00 am – 5:30 pm CASH ONLY North shore is where my sister Kellyne used to live during and after college for a bit. She got to know the local food up there and has her favorites. Ken’s Fresh Fish is one of the places she loves to get fish. We pulled up to this small strip and walked into a very open and empty room. But there were several people coming in and out of this place too. There was a whiteboard set up and it happened to be the very simple menu. We decided to…

95-1830 Meheula Pkwy Space C-12 and C-13, Mililani, HI 96789808-600-5848Hours: Monday to Thursday 11:00 am – 10:00 pmFriday to Saturday 11:00 am – 11:00 pmSunday 11:00 – 9:00 pm I love Asian BBQ. I say Asian bbq because I enjoy both Japanese and Korean bbq a whole lot. This place is a Japanese bbq restaurant and we happened to come here back in 2017 for my birthday. It was one of Kellyne’s picks back then, still is one of her favorites, and now it’s one of mine. This restaurant has a large menu. It’s kind of overwhelming but, we let Kellyne take the lead. We did know that previously that…

1279 S Kihei Rd Kihei, HI 96753808-875-9979Hours: Monday to Sunday 10:00 am – 9:00 pm Coconuts was recommended to us by one of Kellyne’s students. It was located in a strip mall and seemed to be relatively busy. We walked up to the counter and stared at the menu to determine what we were going to order. The staff greeted us and asked if it was our first time coming there. When we responded yes, we were told that they were known for their fish tacos and the grilled ono on a bun was also highly recommended. We ended up ordering the fish tacos, the fish and chips, and the…

1913 S Kihei Rd. Kihei, HI 96753808-879-8711Hours: Monday to Sunday 3:00 pm – 8:30 pm Fat Daddy’s has two entrances. We happened to go in the back as it was pretty hard to find the entrances. Once we found it, the place was busy. The waitress let us know as we were seated that they were out of a few items on the menu: burnt ends and smoked devil eggs After looking over the menu, there were some dressed up usuals that you’d expect to find at a BBQ joint: beans, Mac and cheese, hushpuppies, etc. Now I spent the majority of my life in Kansas City, so I know…

1424 Lower Main St. Wailuku, HI 96793808-249-0052Hours: 10:30 am – 11:30 pm Tiffany’s was off the beaten path and we missed it the first time we drove by. It was a bit questionable, but we were tired and hungry, so we decided to go for it. Once we parked and walked in, it was fairly busy. Apparently the place had just gotten a POS, or a point of sale, installed that day and things were a bit crazy. We sat down and tried to interpret what kind of place this was, as we thought it was a Chinese restaurant when we picked it. It was, kinda. The menu was pretty…

2395 S Kihei Rd St 117, Kihei, HI 96753808-757-8740Hours: Monday- Sunday 7:00 am to 7:00 pm I love bakeries. LOVE them. This bakery was in the same plaza as where we ate breakfast, Cafe at La Plage. We ordered breakfast sandwiches at the cafe and I went over to the bakery with Kellyne and we picked up a few items we just had to try. Everything in this bakery was made without preservatives, lots of gluten free options, and lots of unique flavors you’ll only find on a tropical island. They had a LOT of choices. I wanted to try them all. Sadly, we decided on a few items for…

2395 S Kihei Rd St 115, Kihei, HI 96753808-875-7668Hours: Monday – Friday 6:30 am to 4:00 pmSaturday- Sunday 6:30 am to 3:00 pm This breakfast place was quiet and had a small group of what appeared to be regulars that had their dogs with them as they ate out on the patio. After we ordered, a large flux of people filed in and the place became quite busy and a bit crowded. This cafe was right near Maui Bakery, so I left while Kellyne and Autumn awaited for our order and I went to explore the bakery. I love bakeries, it’s a weakness. Our food was ready and we met…
