You need to try the loco moco with fried rice and butter mochi waffles! When I lived there this restaurant was a staple.

Truly cannot go wrong with any food choices here. It is mid range in terms of price but above average in taste and quality!

Foodland has the best price for poke bowls and as long as you go before 2pm I think the quality is great! Truly cannot go wrong with a good poke bowl! If not from here, you must try at some point in your vacation!
Poke - Foodland Farms
This is another hidden gem! Found randomly in the middle of the neighborhood you will find this store. It is fully of drinks and snacks, but the real greatness is their fresh food! I recommend the Kalua Pig plate

The line will be long but it will be worth it! It is like a nice soft warm pillowy cloud of a donut. I like the original or the haupia filled one!

Dinner
This place is great because you get a lot of food for the price! Plus everything tastes delicious!
Da Spot – Health Foods and Juices
You will find a lot of really great sushi places on Oahu, but my favorite has to be Doraku. The quality is great and everything tastes amazing, but also the vibe and energy of the place is great for a nice dinner
Doraku Sushi
This place has a great view of the water and it is very close to where most of the hotels are when you visit so that is a plus. There is usually live music and the energy in the place is great!
