OLD SCHOOL EATERIES IN HAWAII || [Honolulu, Oahu] Plate Lunch, Bentos and More!

[@ken.a.]

Man, there are so many places I miss in addition to Likelike Drive Inn.. King's Bakery kinda by King & McCully, Bea's Drive-In by Kaimuki HS, Byron's by the airport, Dot's in Wahiawa, Jolly Roger's, Shakey's Pizza, Wisteria, Flamingo's, Colombia Inn, Bob's Big Boy... the list is endless. That L&L order... "Chicken katsu, french fries instead of rice, gravy all over" used to be my go to order at Grace's. Back when I was young and could eat all of that without gaining weight. lol.

[@ken.a.]

Oh yeah, and The Heights in Aiea.. How could I forget to mention them!!

[@SunnyIlha]

DOTs in Wahiawa!! Unreal Yu made me rememba!

[@SunnyIlha]

Rememba da old Pearl City Tavern wit da small animal zoo in there & the bonsai garden 😲😃

[@uniotter2662]

King's Bakery, Jolly Roger's, Columbia Inn, and Grace's! Wow, that brought back good memories! 😋 Used to love Yum Yum Tree for breakfast too!

[@dlnnyc64]

Also, KC Drive In, Tanoue’s, Wongs Okazuya, Poi Bowl, Boulevard Saimin

[@brianisidore2275]

Just started watching your videos….they are great… making me crave old favorites and new/old places to try! One thing… put your “Teri” or any other sauce containers right up against the plate so you don’t waste and all the goodness that does drip doesn’t get away…it drips right on! Especially at .95 cents! Keep up the good work!

[@LiveLifeHonestly]

Thank you for creating these fabulous videos of all the different restaurants out there. The camera zoom in on the food is perfect too! I want to try and lot of these food items now after watching. They all look so ono and comfort food style of cooking. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@sline73]

I am so happy some of these places are still open and strong. Thank you for another awesome content.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@bananaskin7527]

Jolly Roger in Kahala, the corner where Zippy's now stands. "Cheesy Gal" a double Cheeseburger and "Suzy Q" a teriyaki slice and American cheese. There was another location at the Kam Shopping Center. I miss Shakey's Pizza and the big bubble browned cheese.

[@PatriciaNicely-hu5uh]

These places are so nostalgic. How awesome that they are still in business. Thank you for the video. Blessings and take care. 💖💖🙏🌺💖💖

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We're happy that they're still around! 🙏 hopefully for many more generations! Mahalo Patricia! 🙏🤙

[@bernie574]

Great , helpful video. Looking forward to trying some of these on our travels. I really appreciate how you specialize on local hometown restaurants, which I love.

[@pennyatcheson8787]

Mahalo for supporting local. So important now for many reasons ❤

[@Hawaiian80882]

Every eatery posted is my go to places whenever I'm in the neighborhood....So epic you guyz, mahalo's for sharing....

[@JodyY808]

Super nostalgic old-school comfort food I grew up with at all the original locations, except I’ve only been to the Kaka’ako Highway Inn and never been to Leeward Drive In (too far from town). You hit all of my favorite spots and most of my favorite orders, so everything was so familiar and looked so ‘ono, but you showed and described each item really clearly and “appetizingly” for people who did not grow up eating this food as we did. Great job! I think I’ll go up the street to St. Louis Drive In for lunch today and get a Super Japanese Deluxe Plate (Japanese Deluxe Plate with scallops)!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Sounds good! 🤤

[@jaws7794]

I miss Diners on ke'eaumoku,Q's in kalihi, KC waikiki & Alex drive in kapahulu. All of these you showed are some of the last old school. Keep highlighting these places so everyone can continue to support the businesses..🤙

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@hapahawaiianchef]

Great video thank you! Miss those places and home very much ... also miss Kelly's in mapunapuna and Byron's and of course Chunky's by the old stadium in Mo'ili'ili... can go on and on with the places... thank you much for the video! Stay Blessed... Aloha!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@AARONVZN]

Oooo Highway Inn, one of my favs. Great start!

[@NomiSyed1]

Hawaii's fav couple... kicking ass and sharing great content as always :)

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@uniotter2662]

OMG, watching you guys when I'm hungry is always dangerous, but this episode was even more dangerous than usual! I'm so craving all of those comfort foods! Loved seeing the Kaimuki neighborhood too, since I grew up there as well! 🥰

[@davidsiu1364]

Wow, the Hawaiian food looks so ono! I love poi in savory way. My favorite is definitely the lau lau. Thanks for sharing the Highway Inn.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@BobTheHilkin710]

Hi Amanda and Felix. Hope you're doing well. It's just great watching you guys enjoy these delicious foods. I cannot wait to go to Hawaii as I've never been. Peacee and smoke eazy 420 out.

[@mauison]

Gotta have the gravy all over on the Rainbow Drive-In boneless chicken. On the mac salad too!

[@biggmeech4264]

Amanda & Felix ALWAYS Comin’in with another 💣video! Aloha and Mahalo

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@owenekimoto4923]

Aunty Amanda and Uncle Felix coming in clutch with the shout out to Ace!! We love you guys!! Keep up the awesome vlogs!! We can’t wait till the next video!

[@Omikoshi78]

I ended up going here today based on your recommendation. (Flew in from Seattle) Wow, best oxtail soup ever. Thank you!

[@ericinouye803]

Wow! That was nostalgic! Thanks so much! Mmmahalo!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@RSER808]

Aloha, Amanda, Felix & Davonn: What a highlight & plethora of locations & food! I have been to all of these locations and have eaten the food recommendations. But that burger, OMG at Liliha Bakery...I had it, bomb! Nothing like a Char broiled burger. Not many places do Charbroiled burgers anymore, but I do know of another place that serves ono charbroiled burgers, but it's not locally owned. What was also funny was that piece of chicken at Leeward drive in, so huge...then you show the chicken at Zippy's so tiny. I often eat the Loco Moco at Kapiolani Coffee shop since it comes with mac salad & I order it with Fried Rice vs white rice. One of the Sunday's specials are the Sweet-sour spareribs. So good! Thanks for sharing & have a super day...

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Have a great week and Mahalo Rick! 🤙

[@joewatanabe5543]

This was a super episode! All of the food looked soo good.

[@Haupialani]

My favorite at Leeward Drive Inn is the hamburger and the fries. The only place I know that has that nostalgic sauce for the hamburger. (Reminds me of Toppers Drive In in Wahiawa which is long gone.) I love the soggy fries, I just wish they had a smaller size because there's one huge bag of fries. Next to Kua Aina's skinny fries, these are my second favorite. (Kalapawai Cafe in Kapolei also has those wonderful skinny fries.)

[@matthewhopson6870]

I was flying into Honolulu today and went to Zippys for lunch after checking in to our hotel. It was a great way to start off the vacation.

[@scotttan6377]

You guys make Hawaii afforable to visit since food is the next biggest expense next lodging . @3:12 Love poi when it's tangy , but as a kid had to have a lot sugar !! @11:46 When Amanda sees something she wants on another plate , nothing is going to stop her ( LOL ) @14:18 Corned beef hash and eggs - definitely need ketchup and shoyu over the rice ( LOL )

[@AmandaFelixEats]

🙌🤙

[@CnHPureCaneSugar1]

It's funny. just yesterday I watched Oahu's oldest eats and I commented how I cried when Dillingham Saimin, Patti's Chinese Kitchen, Libby Manapua and Like Like Drive-in closed. I wish someone would bring back Ed & Don's Ice Cream. I loved their Kona Coffee ice cream.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So many classics gone 😥

[@Kanoa1]

Miss you so much, Patti’s!!😢

[@SunnyIlha]

I think Golden Duck still going? We went there twice a year, every year, for almost 17 years for me. We ate pork hash, butter fish and bitter melon there, and triple ordered gau gee I no stay - I'm at da mainlan, so I'm outta sync wit stuff. 😬😅

[@jocelynfinnegan9251]

Hello Amanda and Felix. Your videos are awesome, and i can not wait for a trip to Hawaii to try all the good food. Mahalo

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@BraddahBruce]

All the places are ono'licious for their own reasons. Mahalo for yaking us on the food tour! 🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@Will-jm2cc]

Grew up eating poi by itself - never mixing it with anything else and always clean that bowl and storage container. I’ll eat day old poi but prefer fresh. Oxtail soup - my go to is Neimann Marcus (believe it or not) on Thursday. We recently tried Super Pho’s oxtail soup and was impressed! Hands down!!! I tried the other Liliha Bakery locations and somehow, the flavor from the grill at the original location makes the food soooo ONO! I find it always entertaining to sit at the corner and watch the cooks manning the grill. Rainbow’s - boneless chicken, Mahi mahi or beef cutlet are my go to. St. Louis Drive Inn…YUM! I don’t think there’s anything on their menu that’s not good. Leeward Drive Inn…their fried saimin is winners! I miss The Heights in Aiea - their fried saimin was the BOMB!!!

[@vgshwk]

Got to have sriracha sauce for rice. There was a place when I was in Honolulu 9 or 10 years ago ran by a Japanese couple called the kuhio coffee shop had great breakfast specials. Probably not there anymore.

[@jpfox165]

Today I ate at Leeward Drive-in. I got the exact same Saimin and fried chicken that you guys got and it was perfect. Right on! Sending love for you guys 😃

[@Rock_Reggae_Riff]

I miss Like Like drive inn. After a 3 hr set on stage at Mai Tai's, this was one of our late night spots long with The Hungry Lion. Also, back in High school, my buddy and I would hit up Shiro's Saimin next to Kapiolani Coffee Shop. Then we'd head off to Ice Garden in Aiea. You guys should definitely try it out.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

How nostalgic!

[@lonecynner3257]

Wow this was an oldie but goodie!

[@rahn2176]

Another awesome video, guys! Keep those bloopers going! 😉

[@AmandaFelixEats]

I love poi both ways....savory or sweet! Yum! Oh man! I'm so homesick!!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Love poi! 🤙

[@S1M0N3-AI]

The weight loss is so awesome. I don't know what you two are doing, but congrats.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@hillyseattlenarrowstreets6087]

Agree, they should do a video on what they're doing. Local comfort food = lots of carbs & fried food

[@dennistani1986]

Guys, awesome video. Thanks, please keep up your great work.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@lawrenceakini4981]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@ym-fc1lq]

I'm from Japan. Your KZbin is so interesting that I am watching it everyday. I really like Hawaii. I have never eaten Hawian traditional food. I try to eat it next a trip! I'm so excited to watch next video.

[@dianalong2024]

Thanks to the cutest couple on KZbin! A lot of work went into this video and it shows! Great review on our iconic Hawaiian snack shacks.Thanks also to Davon our third musketeer! See you soon ❤

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Diana! 🤙

[@csdesjarlais9779]

I love seeing the old, original places. Standouts from viewing: the waffles with the custard, the lechon, and that very last order! Also, was this one day of eating or five? Lots of rainy day comfort food…😊

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Plenty grinds!

[@kamilla_ph2075]

Love rainbow, I will always go back to that place and I really miss Hawaii.. I wish I can work and live there.. But I will visit again..

[@funnybobroblox]

Hi Felix and Amanda. It was awesome to see you when I was in Costco a few days ago with my parents. I hope that someday my channel can be as successful as yours. Mahalo!

[@PatrickEspanto]

My favorite is Grace’s Drive Inn. I usually order mochiko chicken with gravy all over, extra bed of chow fun and extra kim chee

[@karenw4874]

I’m with you and really miss Like Like Drive Inn too!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

🙌🙌

[@MattP437]

Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, Amanda and Felix. Can't wait to visit Hawaii again, but next time, I have to rent a car so I can visit some of the restaurants you guys featured.

[@kshinokevin]

once I read the two words "original location," I'm immediately watching it: it has a unique aura, long-time (residential) customers that have been going to a place for decades/generations and a certain ambience that can't be duplicated at a different area; "hanabada days/shmall kid time" nostalgia is one heck / he(double hockey sticks) of a drug. I remembah Kapiolani Coffee Shop while playing bowling (in high school) at Kam Bowl; before it moved to City Square Shopping Center and then, to Waimalu Shopping Center (in Aiea). You can't go wrong with (Pinoy kine) Lechon (unlike the stateside brand, Baken-Et's "fried pork skins" Chicharonnes)... Liliha Bakery's "old school" diner area (I had breakfast there once) and their famous Coco Puffs are so Ono.. Ohh, I love it ! Like-Like Drive Inn (next to Tespresso Cafe) was replaced by YogurStory (which used to be in the International Center, with Sorabol (which moved to the old Pagoda restaurant/hotel location). I tried Like-Like Drive Inn (once). The Like-Like crowd vibes were various: large families, kids or middle-aged couples. In Kalihi, there is an actual drive-in restaurant, like Starbucks (in Kaneohe (Bay Shopping Center) or Waipahu (by Seafood City Supermarket & Long's Drugs (now "CVS Pharmacy"): Richie's. I liked Leeward Drive-In, in Waipahu. I haven't been to Forty Niners (the original Aiea location), Wai'oli Tea Room (now Waiʻoli Kitchen and Bake Shop), but I went to small Natsunoya Tea House (Alewa Heights, in the Kalihi area; next to a Hawai'ian graveyard). I remember seeing a King's Bakery; Kamehameha Bakery is cool (City Square Shopping Center; it used to be on North School St. in a two story brick building; there was a hole in the middle; where you could drive a car through; there was also a Chinese restaurant. Now, there is a Rainbow Drive Inn, across from Union 76 gas station). Did you folks remember any of these places, before they got shut down: Ideta's (on Kokea Street, which was next to a bowling alley or a church/now, it a used car lot and a Zippy's (Kapalama Shopping Center); Fritz's European Bakery (it was behind Kapalama Shopping Center); a WingStop fast-food joint had moved in). Kelly's Drive Inn (a bar, restaurant and bakery = now, it's a Harley Davidson/Cycle City; a Wendy's location), (airport side): Byron's Drive Inn (& Chowder House (Ward Warehouse), Chan's Gourmet Buffet (313 North Nimitz Hwy); Gussie L'Amours (nightclub/bar: mud wrestling, rock bands and beers); Hungry Lion restaurant (in the Nuuanu Shopping Center (it is now a Starbucks); Patti's Chinese Chicken, Huckleberry Farms, TCBY Yogurt; the old "Chun Hoon" (Chun Afong) market area); Mama's Mexican Kitchen (on North School Street); Bob's Big Boy (in Mapunapuna; when 99 Ranch Market, Hopaco (office stationary store), Henry Loui's (on Paa St.), Jumbo's & Gibson Shopping Center (Servco Mapunapuna) was there; later, Bob's Big Boy was called Bob's Big Bear (a former Sizzler's location on Dillingham Blvd., close to Boulevard/Dillingham Saimin). (Checker's and Pogo had a TV show filmed at Gibson's Shopping Center with a "Sky Slide" (back in the 1970's); Boulevard/Dillingham Saimin, Waikamilo Drive Inn (it was across from Boulevard Saimin), Wisteria (it is now a 7-11 convenience store on Piikoi St./McCully), Flamingo's Chuckwagon: across from (Neal) Blaisdell Center/"H.I.C." (Hawaii Int'l Center - during my father's days; not Hawaiian Island Creations, one surf/outddors sports store); or Flamingo Kapiolani (cocktails): Budnamujip; now, Million #2 restaurant by a Jack In A Box branch); the Willows (Moiliili; it was on Hausten St.), Yum Yum Tree (Westridge Shopping Center or in town), Monterey Bay Canners, Shakey's Pizza (I went there twice; the Waipahu location; it used to be on Keeaumoku Street ?); Jolly Roger's (in Kalihi = O'Reilly's Auto Parts shop); Kenny's Restaurant/Deli Okazuya ("Kam Bowl" now); Kam Bowl (now a Walgreen's branch; they do have a Kam Bowl "bowling pin" plaque hanging there); Kalihi Bowl too. Other bowling places: Leeward Bowl (there is a bar in there); Aiea Bowl (across the street; there is a Shell gas station and Aiea Medical Building restaurant called Heights Drive Inn (which later closed): In my middle school years, I went there to eat lunch after seeing a dentist above); Pali Lanes (in Kailua: it closed); in the McCully area: Bowl-O-Drome (820 Isenberg Street; it had shut down), it was across from a Chinese restaurant, a First Hawaiian Bank (Moiliili / University) location and a baseball stadium (not the Old (Honolulu) Stadium Park, aka "termite palace." Didn't knew that there was a bowling center in the Fort Shafter area... Did you guys go to "W&M Burger" in Kaimuki area (Waialae Ave.) yet ?; the small mom and pop place, close by a: City Mill, Boston's Pizza Bakery or a Larry's Auto Parts ?; if not, Magoo's Pizza Waikiki (1006 Kapahulu Ave.), Eagle Cafe (Nimitz Business Center), Smith's Union Bar (in Chinatown/WWII 'Pearl Harbor' era) or Anna Miller's (nearby a (Sumida) watercress farm, by Pearlridge (Shopping) Mall/Center ?

[@garymats74]

I always love to order the mixed plate at rainbow drive in with teriyaki sauce all over

[@karlsuapaia1749]

Poi is a must. My step daughter can live off poi along with my mom. I love poi with poke, lomi salmon

[@weirdo808hi]

Zippys actually uses Miller's Hot Dogs for Chili Frank. They sell it at Longs and Safeway. Zippys good but expensive. Looking forward to seeing more locations that weren't featured in this vid. I used to go Graces Inn when they were in Aiea, Chicken Katsu no rice extra chow fun with mac salad, kimchi and extra sauce 😋they get one of the best katsu sauces of any of the plate lunch places

@@AmandaFelixEats That didn't look like their regular katsu sauce on the chicken. Did you get it with gravy instead?

[@PatriciaNicely-hu5uh]

Thanks!

[@ap3568]

I miss Burgerland in Kapahulu on Monsarrat and Nakatani’s Drive-In in Nanakuli

[@scottandtracytraveling]

Thank you for covering all those places - especially L&L drive-in. I (Scott) grew up in the two story apartment right behind L&L (dairy) in the 60s. Haven’t stopped by the place since (even though my brother still lives on the next block). Thinking of visiting Liliha Bakery next time I go back to Oahu (haven’t eaten there since the 60s though have gotten there coco puffs from the bakery side a few years ago). I was even an assistant manager at Zippy’s in the 80s but only worked at the McCully store while I was a trainee. Thanks for all the good memories! 😊😊😊

[@AmandaFelixEats]

I like Tonkatsu sauce on the eggs & fried rice; and I often use a bit of tonkatsu sauce when I make my own fried rice.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

That sounds good! 👌

[@Kulotch19]

Oh my gosh, all that food ordered from Kapiolani Coffee Shop! I don’t know which to try?! Oxtail soup with rice, fried rice with eggs on top or the lechon kawali. I wish I’m in Oahu right now.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was ono!

[@maryphillips4348]

What a great idea to swap the rice with fries at L and L for comfort food. Will try that on a rainy day. Thank you for sharing your experiences. My boyfriend and I use you for inspiration when we go on car rides around Oahu.

Mahalo! 🤙

[@buford84]

Another great video, now i have more locals options of eating places when i go back to honolulu in the near future. Already did Rainbow Drive Inn the first time, and stopped by the original Liliha location but only bought from the bakery. Already have L&L here in LA.

[@score2high]

Here's an interesting fact. Of the old school establishments you featured, four were started by Okinawans. Sorry Felix, I'm team gravy all ovah. I used to be a ketchup and Tabasco on eggs before sriracha came around. Funny that you guys mentioned McDonald's while talking about soggy fries. Before the the McDonald's opened on the corner of Palolo and Waialae, a little burger takeout place was located in the prior building. It was run by the Trusdale (not sure if that's the correct spelling) family. Anyway, they had really good soggy fries. But then again, I was a little kid way back then. Mahalo for the video!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@PatrickEspanto]

For Liliha Bakery I wonder if you can still dine in the bakery area?

[@mymelt1770]

Don’t know about Kalihi start but prior to current Kaimuki Av location, Sekiyas had a small saimin stand Diamond Head of Kapahulu Ave I would sometimes go w/ my dad w/ an aluminum pot to stand in a long line w/ other pot holders and take home saimin for family dinner 😛No S&S Saimin or Sun Noodles those days. Yeh, I’m that old 🤭

[@spiritedreviewexc]

i love ketchup on eggs, though i don't like sunny side up...my best friend made me a scrambled egg burger....and man you should try it!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Sounds like a great breakfast burger!

@@AmandaFelixEats it was! i want another one! i should make my own....

[@Patrick-nv5ug]

Poi sweet, however I grew up on sour because my father liked three day poi...but I took Mom's side on the poi and she liked it fresh. .I will mention that our family lau lau recipe has a big piece of beef, fatty pig on top, and then the salted cod. And that goes back well over 100 years.
