TOP 10 BEST of CHEAP EATS in HAWAII || [Oahu, Hawaii] Our Top Picks!
• TOP 10 BEST of CHEAP E...

[@RICHASASA]

I've gotta recommend "Times Supermarkets" for their daily plate lunches. Each Times location has a different daily menu selection (Mushroom Chicken, Beef Stew, Hamburger Steak, Fried Chicken Wings, Roast Beef, Steak, Hawaiian Plates, etc.) with various sides (Rice, Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Veggies, Toss Salad, etc.) (choice of three!). Talk about "Cheap Eats", they have to be in the conversation, most plates run between $6.99 and $9.99... and includes a free drink! Trust me

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We haven't featured Times yet but maybe in a future episode!

[@kaneblues]

Shout out to St. Louis Drive In for not raising their prices during the pandemic. Their generous plate lunches and bentos are amazing.

[@in2food]

Totally agree about foodland poke bowl.

[@JandT98086]

Nothing better than sitting out on our hotel balcony eating Foodland Poke recommended by you two… and I can tell you it was twice as good and half as expensive as the stuff we had at the Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai bar last night.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So glad you guys were able to try poke! And at a better spot! 🤙

[@shinrips]

7-11 Salmon musubi is awesome!

[@fgodek1964]

Stadium Giant Malts and BBQ. AKA Bob’s BBQ. Definitely our go to place for BBQ chicken. Love their mac salad and their malts are fantastic.

[@123cetaphil]

I love these refreshers bc my brain forgets! Lol! You have showcased so many really good places to go , the full spectrum, from cheap to gourmet and all facets of local grinds!!! Love these! Glad to see you are feeling better, Amanda! Enjoy your bloopers always ! Hard to believe you guys have bloopers when your end product is so smooth and polished!! Great job!!!👍🏿💕😀

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Aw Mahalo! We try really hard with the editing to make it look smoother 😅

[@Walts-Travel]

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Aloha Amanda & Felix. It's amazing how inexpensive these dishes are and how much food they give you. I got a kick out of the first part of this video with Amanda's hair short and both eating the food in the car. Mahalo for showing all of these great places in top 10 form. I'm going to look into the sponsor's product, it sounds like a great thing to have on hand for hydration.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Hey Paula! It really helped me get through my through my sickness (then and current)! By no means a miracle worker but I was surely hydrated the whole time 👍🤙

[@felizaruiz4490]

Absolutely love the reviews, we went to Olays to treat my Laotian Mother n law to some Thai Lao food and she loved it, wished she could take more with her. Definitely is going to be first on her list when we go back to Oahu!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

I was drooling watching you guys eat the plate lunches from one plus one in Moiliili! I also never knew Richies drive in was an actual drive in lol, and I lived near it for like 10+ years. Yikes! Great video

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Yup! For those days you don't feel like getting out of the car 😅🤙

[@tonyrivas6429]

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Rosiemarie! 🙏🤙

[@robertbroad4434]

I love your videos. Mahalo.

[@sharonakahoshi6496]

Yes, ditto on a thank you for reminding us of more places to try. Wow; impressive new sponsor; I bought a pouch of the Liquid IV at Walmart to take on last vacay but they would be perfect to rehydrate as you did during your stomach flu bout. That is almost as valuable a tip as the foodie places to try.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Sharon! 🤙🏻 happy to share our cheap eats spots with our foodie ohana 😋

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Sharon! 🤙

[@carolley9705]

Just got into the vid. As usual, it all looks so ono. Loved the seafood and prime rib. Makes me ssoooo hungry. Gd vlog guys, as usual. From caliente, nevada, that katsu from the drive in on kailiili looked and sounded so good and crispy. Gettin hungrier by the minute and still 3 hrs til dinner.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo always! 🙏🤙

[@Will-jm2cc]

Awesome choices!!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Will🤙🏻

[@in2food]

Rays looks like a real winner. I’ll hit them up in March.

[@SomeKoolPlace]

We tried out bella banh mi cafe today on your recommendation...was delicious! thx

[@paulk257]

watching tbis from Kona, love your videos! I would fly to Oahu just for your food recommendation list. You should come to BI to shoot a video!

[@dhn.]

Yay to Ray's (Cafe)! I recommend Jane's Fountain on Liliha St. for saimin and wuntun noodles.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We haven't featured Jane's yet! Maybe in a future episode 🤙

[@tonylee5860]

Love these cheap eats! So jealous!

[@km190103]

Hey guys, I just got back from Hawaii (Oahu and Maui) but i was a little disappointed that i didn't have enough hours in my day to eat everything! my fiance and I watched your videos all the time leading up to our trip but we just couldnt't try it all. PLAN AHEAD everyone!

[@infinitytricks3716]

Small park looks like the one above the Firehouse in Kaimuki. Great sunsets.

[@richardbeefyboy5968]

Damn it, I’m REALLY HUNGRY NOW! And I just had dinner 1-1/2 hours ago. Fantastic job guys! Really appreciate your hard work. Looking forward for your next video. Have you ever tried “Sunnyside drive in” in Wahiawa on Kilani Ave. My fave, chicken cutlet and for dessert any one of the pies.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Been wanting to try there! Mahalo for the suggestion and support! 🙏🤙

[@titasmom678]

Yummy reminders. All good. Just tried Bella Banh Mi this week. Wow! Just wow! The Saigon Special was so flavorful. Just enough heat to make you want another bite. Maybe Chun Wah Kam for dinner tonight. No doubt...loaded plates and baked manapua are so good. Leeward has become my brother's favorite when he visits from Hilo. KJs is soooo good. A winner of a Top 10 list...oh had to add St Louis Drive Inn...just went and they are really trying to hold their costs down. I love that they serve sashimi on some of their plates...it's always fresh and their bentos are awesome!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was a hard list to make! So glad you enjoy most of our favorites as well! 🙌🤙

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

Long time ago I used to go to the Aiea bowling lovey and drive into get my Hawaiian plate lunch on fridays, they would be laulau, Kailua pork, little bit of poi and Komi salmon. Oh man I mulish that place.

[@bolohead1]

Hi, that was my wife calling Lucy earlier tonight on Kona. We would have stopped if we saw you earlier but it was too last minute. Hope we didn't startle you. We were happy to finally see Lucy, our dog Rio was excited too since we were haha.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Awww that was you guys!🤗 mahalo for watching and supporting us🤙🏻

[@jholly5747]

Hi guys, I just watched Felix‘s birthday dinner. What happened to your left arm? It’s good to see you eat at a fine dining restaurant, not just plate lunches and take out. I must say I have been eating escargot for years, but I am still a newbie at it. I had no idea that you were supposed to top it with a piece of bread , Wait for the bread to soak up the garlic and butter. Then use the seafood fork and pop it in your mouth. You learn something new every day.😮

[@rmtsohyang-yoyoka6013]

liquid iv is the best. it leaves gatorade in the dust as far as hydration goes, Took advantage of the 15 percent discount, thank u, and I agree with your list, Rays, Richies, and St louis gets a good amount of my business.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We love st louis drive in! And liquid iv!

[@tam.b9651]

[@jching808]

Amanda and Felix, you should try Garden Island Cafe in Waipahu. For sure....cheap eats!

[@aprilc7587]

The panda express is one of my favorites too. But the portion is a lot smaller than US branch.

[@Hunter__14]

I’ve seen Liquid IV in COSTCO for a while. Never tried it. Guess I’m gonna have to now!🤙🏽

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Perfect when you're dehydrated or tired! 🤙

[@Tizzo1982]

My Pops used to take us to Leewards whenever we went to my Grandma's up Honowai. Used to have this old lady that was always in the old dining area that I swear she used to stare at me. Used to scare me, lol. But I love Leewards, whenever I come back home, that's one of my main stops. Also Shige's, we used to go there after an all day bomb sesh at Waimea Bay. Won Ton Min with a Teri Burger always hits.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Awesome nostalgia! 👌 🤙

[@RM-qg1gu]

I recommend you try fort street cafe in downtown. One of my go to places for great Thai food!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Check out our video on downtown eats for our feature of Fort street Cafe! 🤙

[@BBBoy990]

My go to for Bahn mi is the Bale Le inside of Don Quijote in Waipahu. They serve it on the regular bun or crescent roll. My choice is pate, steam pork, with some spring rolls on the side. So ono !!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Give bella banh mi a try when you get a chance! 🤙

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Wahiawa has best hands down ginger chicken on the northshore. Approved by my ABC wife..lol

[@jonnque]

egg noodle is the best

[@danielchilson6972]

I miss Alicia's so much... I worked at

[@Erhnam_Djinn]

Hi guys! I just wanted to suggest some places for you guys to visit and feature: Cheap Eats: Fort Street Cafe- located in the heart of downtown, they are famous for their garlic chicken; they have an extensive menu, offering many Thai, Vietnamese, and local foods; food is high quality, but prices lower than the average restaurant $$ Eats: The Pig and the Lady- I've always heard a lot about them, but haven't been there myself yet, so it would be nice to see your informational video on them Teddy's Bigger Burgers- I'd love to know your favorite orders and/or go-to combinations there Aloha Cones- attention to detail sets them apart for me. Their poke bowls don't just have fish and rice, but also pickled ginger, imitation crab salad, edamame, cucumbers, and more, with beautiful presentation and freshness. They also offer beautiful sushi cakes, but I've never tried one. Shaloha Pita- one of the few street-food style Israeli restaurants in the state, the owner is a gruff middle-aged guy from Israel. I recommend the Shaloha Plate for anyone who hasn't been there before, in order to try a wide variety of their items. Supermarkets: Another idea that I had was for you guys to do a local supermarkets video. I love learning new hacks or insider tips about institutions that have been around for a long time, especially about plate lunches, poke, and specialty items. I bet there are hidden gem items and hacks that even long-time locals don't know about. Thanks for reading!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the input! 🤙
