Utage Japanese Restaurant also in City Square serves up ono grindz. We were in City Square late one afternoon and most places were closed but Utage was open so we wandered in there at 5:30 and it was full and we we needed reservations. They squeezed us in though if we could finish in 1:15 minutes.Ahi tempura was a big serving and reasonable price. very nice service too

OMG SEAN !!! You're right City Square is indeed a hidden gem. I was in Waikiki for 6 days 01.05.23 - 01.11.23 and we wound up coming 4 days out the 6. 01.06.23 - Pancakes & Waffles I ordered the Honey Glaze Chicken Waffles. You were right their chicken is SOOOOOO CRISPY the waffles were good my only complaint was they put TOOO MUCH honey on my waffles and I really couldn't eat it. 01.07.23 - Kamehaheha Bakery I had the Poi Malasadas IT WAS AMAZING !! I can't even begin to tell you Sean how light and fluffy it tasted. Again, you are right their price is beyond reasonable.

Now I gotta make some time and go check out the other places there since I only work down the street at Dole cannery. That drink place look like a fruit smoothie with boba in it, looks good. But if you go across the river to this small mall area there's Hana tea. It's a real boba tea shop, they make their tea from actual brewed tea and not powders and it's strong, I had mines with 125% sweetness and I ca still taste the tea. Although they tend to run out of the good teas early like the Hong Kong milk tea.

Try Elwin's Bakery in the Kapalama Shopping Center. Haven't tried everything but so far i like the savory curry doughnut and anpan. The green pandan mochi-ish bar shaped dessert at that Asian store across from the old char har sut manapua place in Chinatown is addictive.

And exciting for Nhi to meet a Vietnamese European woman here! Hope you enjoyed Leonars Malasadas. And yes, well be in touch if we go to Sydney. Mahalo, have a fun time here, and flight back home!🤙 @From Nhi: Hi, anh, chi and co.! That was super cool to meet your lovely family today!:) So happy that the videos are helpful. If you have IG, please DM me on @tn_dkk for any other questions about Hawaii. Wish we could help more!:) Here are a few tips: for Vietnamese food, Cu Long (banh mi + pho), Tô Chau (pho low key + good value for money), Bac Nam (pho), or Kim An 2 (best bun mang vit). For Native Hawaiian food, poi factory and poke on the run (Mauka to Makai nachos) is a must-try. Hiking adventures for the kids, please check out Crouching Lion (entrance is a bit tricky, let me know if you’d like us to take you there. AW thank you! We'll def let you know if we come to Sydney. Keep in touch 🇦🇺

@@SeanKaleponi - I know things are always changing.. but maybe you can help me, as a local in the know? I understand most businesses require mask and vaccines (and boosters?). Thats no problem, and is appreciated.. but wondering about ID. Do they require matching ID? I have one, no problem. My teen daughter does not, however, have any official state-issued ID. Do you think that will be a problem at 'most' places? She can show a school ID? Thanks for your help! I know its not sexy content but a video on the local requirements would be killer!! Thanks for all you share man!
