Hey Lisa!!!!! Hey Bill !!!!! ❤ 😊 👌 👍

[@florenceedee]

Love the shirts at 19:40 🍳 🦋

[@jamespotter7554]

Watching you guys right now to get our morning Hawaii fix.lol

[@rosaspanjol673]

A tour of Mitsawa would be great👍…..You guys always make me hungry 🤣

[@jmbear628]

like those fresh homemade noodles.

[@MikePhoTravelVlogs]

‼️‼️‼️Awesome 👍Gotta Go and Try these Places out 💯💯💯😄

[@WeatherChart]

19:53 I love how even Bill and Lisa pronounce "caramel" differently. So many variations on that particular word. Of course, there's no right or wrong way … no judgement, lol. 😊

[@noeonoohno4219]

We have Marugame Udon in London near my office and I go there for lunch often. Affordable, delicious, and great in the winter. Its slightly different than that one, it's got a much smaller menu and and is more minimalist and modern. Still has the tempura sauce dispenser :)

[@arlenedisneydreaming6816]

Yes, food tour of the Mitsuwa marketplace please! LOVED this video sharing the local Hawaiian eats in SoCal. We tried Mochill in San Fran and they are delicious, but my son works for Mochi Dough (Bober Tea) and they have the best fresh/hot mochi donuts in the Sac area if you’re ever up here! 😊 We also have a Marugame Udon in the North Bay, I have to give it a try. Thanks for another great video, Bill and Lisa! Hope you had a restful break and looking forward to your next adventure! Aloha! ❤️ Arlene (P.S. Can we get a shout out for my Mochi Dough son Dylan? His 19th birthday is on Jan 23rd and he loves your channel as much as my hubby and I do! Thanks again…, Mahalo!) ❤❤❤

[@billandlisa]

Will do, Arlene! You'll love Marugame!

[@TheKottonkandee]

Omg I love your gudetama Rainbows shirt Bill!

[@billandlisa]

Thank you!

[@nineangels7572]

I ordered the Honolulu Coffee and it arrived today! Tonight I'm enjoying the decaf & tomorrow I'll have the one you're drinking here! I got free shipping for ordering 3. It arrived pretty fast! I hope they know you're helping their business! Thank you!☕☕Aloha from San Diego!

Great coffee! Enjoy!

[@tonyamendivel2826]

I also like very very close by the Dragon Tiger Noodle company on St Rose 🌹 Pkwy in Henderson just FYI Bill and Lisa 😉

Happy New Year! 🥂 "Yes!" To Mitsuwa's shops and Food Court vid! I make my way there about a half dozen times per year, but I'd still love to see a vid! I'd go more often but, my hips can't afford the Boloniya bread at Hamada-Ya, nor the Roycé Nama Champagne chocolate at J-Sweets! 🤣

[@billandlisa]

Happy New Year! Yes, we'll have to do a food court review!

I’m sure you guys feel the same: being Asian American, everything Hawaii style feels like home and is so comforting no matter what it is.

[@catherineim2431]

Great finds!

[@10cheffy]

So glad I came across this video!! I’ll be checking out the Udon restaurant soon 🍜🍤.

[@francescasignorile6095]

What a great video to start 2023! I did the same thing like you did a few years ago when I got back from Jamaica I was looking for Jamaican places in my area because I was craving the food! I know you’re doing a 2023 Q&A and I was wondering where do we ask the questions? Thanks for sharing this video. It was really enjoyable! 🤗

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Francesca! We ran a Community post around a week ago asking to post questions for us. It has since closed and we just filmed the Q&A episode which will release in a couple weeks. If you like, drop your question here or email us.

[@Fongtastic711]

There is also a Marugame in Glendale (north of downtown Los Angeles)

Happy New Year everyone! Bill and Lisa nice to see you both back. Hope you had a nice break! Wow what a nice things to have island treats where you live…I’m now planning our first 2023 trip which will be Amtrak to Santa Barbara with side trip to Solvang, CA to indulge in Danish food. I want to find the bakery that my Aunt and Uncle used to buy the buckets of butter cookies from the 80s on their drive down here from San Jose. A few bakeries claim they are the original bakery. 😅You both look really good and well rested! I’m looking forward to all your 2023 adventures…and I am going to scale down my 6 day work week this year so that we can travel too finally!!!!😊Love seeing you both so cheery! The Hawaii trip and break was a well deserved break! So many places to see…how do we decide? Bucket list of Top 10 places…enter all places in a hat and draw 5??? Or have family each pick a place? 😂Thanks you for sharing your food places! Now I want to try those Mochi donuts…take care!

[@billandlisa]

Hi Arlene! Happy New Year! It's been a while since we last visited Solvang. We need to take a drive there and get some danishes and butter cookies. lol. Probably can't go wrong at any of their bakeries from what we remember, they're all good. You'll love the mochi donuts!

[@joewatanabe5543]

My wife and I have been following you since you had less than 10k subscribers. I love the way you pronounce Japanese words properly. I cringe at the way most Youtibers say udon and daikon. Keep up the good work.

So glad you guys found Hawaiian food places in Cali. Heading to Maui February/March. I can’t wait to try some of the places you guys went. I want authentic places where locals go. Every time I google or look on yelp all I get is the high dollar touristy places. Any suggestion’s on how to find locals places?

Haven't found too many food vloggers from Maui. The ones that we did find, we highlighted in our Maui videos. Just search, 'Bill Lisa Maui' to see the places we checked out.

The noodles and tempura look good. I’m on the low carb diet we will see how long that last.

Zippy’s announced right before the pandemic that they were opening but haven’t heard anything since then. There are so many Hawaiian food restaurants here in Vegas it’s hard to keep up.
