Hi Felix and Amanda. I 9:07 used to live on Booth Road and my husband and I went to Lynn’s. Their cookies and okazuya are the bomb! What memories. That was back in the 70’s. Showing my age🤣 Royal Kitchen everyday. Thank you for this video. Take care and blessings. 💖🙏🌺💖

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Omg what a coincidence! Happy to put some nostalgia on this video! Mahalo Patricia 🥰🤙🏻

[@EvilTheOne]

All the way back in the very early 980's, I knew the family who originally started Lynn's Saimin & Cookie Shop, they are a great family! The mom who began it all was a great chef and baker; the outstanding Hono Ono Cookies. Hey Amanda, back when I used to go there, they made one of the best Hamburger Steaks on the island.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

That’s amazing!🤤 mahalo for watching and sharing 🤙🏻

[@brucematsuura2183]

Keep up the good work on promoting the local businesses. Great that you bring up the plight of the local small businesses and how hard it is to control their costs. The message is to support them even if their prices have gone up. When I was going to the university in 1970's, the Zip Min at Zippy's was $1.95 and a 16oz. rib steak from Chunky's Drive Inn (Isenberg and King) with two giant scoops of rice and mac salad was $5.00.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Those were the days!

[@harrymiram6621]

Whoa! Haven't had Tatsuo's in awhile! All of these Mom & Pop's places deserve to make living, despite the rising tide of business expenses. Mahalo nui for bringing these places to the culinary forefront!

I was born and raised in Hawaii but havent been back in 14 years. I am a foodie and have traveled, lived and eaten around the world but there is nothing like Local Plate Lunch. Your show makes me homesick and hungry every time I watch an episode. How you guys stay so slim after all tha Ono KauKau? Thanks for the memories.

[@gailsiangco5599]

Mahalo for sharing ! I Love crispy cookies ! Love affordable & delicious eats ! Awesome Support Locals !!!

Great job featuring these small local businesses! It’s the best way to promote them and hopefully bring them more business.

Royal Kitchen’s baked manapua is something i dreeeam of!

[@tracyalan7201]

I would wish that the Hotel Tourism Authority would push to have all the hotels have as part of the HTA infomercials but a periodic segment of Amanda & Felix Eats that replays some of the existing Amanda & Felix Eats, as a way of educating visitors of all the known and lesser-known places to eat in Oahu. I don't watch too many other food reviews on Oahu, but I usually watch Amanda & Felix's reviews. I've been local for scores of years, but I'm not the connoisseur of Oahu cuisine as Amanda & Felix have covered. It would open up visitors to eat at so many other places and locations, if they want to see the different choices & tastes. Mahalo A & F.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for such an amazing compliment and kind words 🥰 we’re just happy to be able to put local businesses out there for people to find 🤤 and experience and support local spots!

[@dwaynelawrence4418]

As a visitor arriving in a few weeks, the Felix & Amanda Eats channel will have me eating local a lot on my trip. Looking forward to the Farmers Market at Wai Kai.

I drive by Lynn's when going to Puowaina/Punchbowl Cemetery to visit my Dad and always think about stopping in, but I never have the time. Maybe one day I'll get the chance. Thanks for always supporting Local.

[@JanetMeg333]

It's interesting to see prices in Hawaii. What we consider cheap here in Southern California is relative to Hawaii, lol. We share the same mentality on what we think is "cheap" 😂😅😢 And dang! That crispy pork and char siu plate looks super delicious 🤤

[@SunnyIlha]

There's something so nice about comfort food like grabbing a whopping paper plate of rice, eggs and Portuguese sausage on the run. It's why I keep Tabasco bottle in the car. 😅

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the info! It’s always interesting to hear about other places🤙🏻

[@vp3970]

Their cookies especially the peanut butter ones are really good. I go there for the tripe stew.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

🤤

[@francinecardoza6727]

Lynn’s…my daughter used to love getting fried rice there in the morning and I think it was like $1-2? Glad they’re still there!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

They still going strong🤙🏻 mahalo!

[@shinrips]

I live on the mainland and I miss Masu's Massive Plate Lunch from the good old days. Their Terri Chicken was the best and their mixed plate was OMG broke da mouth. That old lady could cook and her family were super helpful and nice, great people.

[@Vagabonding_i_guess]

Love the video! Can you also do videos of the local grocery stores, what kind of things are only sold or made in Hawaii, best store made poke, etc? I always like to check out local grocery stores when I visit a new city/country. Thanks!

You should try heaven Chinese noodle and BBQ Cafe next to royal kitchen. Very hole in the wall. Unfortunately they don't speak eng very well but the food is very good and affordable. The gyoza, char siu fried rice (weekend only) and curry rice are my favs

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the suggestion! 🤙

[@PlatinumPoint]

You should try Penny's Drive in on Sand Island.

Royal Kitchen... try their dim sum box, not on the menu. Consist of 1 baked manupua, 1 pork hash, 1 half moon, noodles or chow fun and a rice cake, good lunch. Keep up the good work! Have you ever tried Ronnie's down Sand Island access road in the mini mall.

I'm from Kona, went to college in Honolulu, now live in San Francisco. Sadly, small independent local businesses are definitely endangered. In a perfect world, city governments would recognize how vital these small businesses are to the overall health and economy of a community and work to protect and nurture these places. Will be back on Oahu in October. Definitely focusing on hitting all the local businesses for every meal.

Landlords gouging is the primary reason for these outrageous price increases. The local business is placed between a rock and a hard place so they have no choice to increase prices to make ends meet. It's never gonna end.
