Where YOU MUST EAT in Hawaii (10 incredibly delicious spots) - Hawaiian Food Tour Oahu

[@howellwong11]

A Swedish tourist coming to Hawaii exclaimed, "I am so happy to be in Havaii". A Hawaiian next to her said, "Thank you for pronouncing Hawaii properly". She replied, "you velcome".

[@Jaexbird]

🤣🤣🤣

[@UwU-lm9or]

well because we appreciate when effort is being given and when torusits are not ignorant etc (not all toursits are bad tho some are really wholesome) also I hope you learn about our history here from a local here :)

[@noninoni454]

This joke is funny 😆

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

What if Brett Favre lived in Hawaii?

[@conniecrawford5231]

I heard this joke back in the 1960s when I lived in Hawaii!

[@edlynwalsh7843]

I just love your positive attitude...you always have something good to say ! A lot of people go to Hawaii and mock our food and culture...thank you so much for showing beautiful Hawaii in a great light!

[@AndreBellCopywriter]

@ 6:23 it must have been good. That momentary freeze to emotionally process what was just eaten was priceless. My father and son and others have visited Hawaii. Now I've just have to go. Thanks for the tour.

[@honeysuckle]

[@bastosaswang7398]

Omg erisy is so adorable! Such a good girl eating with a spoon lol so cute. Thanks for all the tips! Gonna take all these into account going next year. THANKS DZUNG!

[@funstang2008]

The poke nachos at The Pantation Tavern in Kapolei. They are to die for!! Seriously, you won't regret it, one of the best things I've eaten in my entire life. 😀😀😀

Ha-leh-ee-vah is the correct pronunciation of Haleiwa. When the letter “W” is place in between two vowels it pronounces letter “V” just so you know. :)

[@honeysuckle]

Thanks for letting me know!!!

[@irayz2677]

It’s ok. Our language is cool 😎 Hawaii or havaii. Don’t matter. Enjoy and thx for supporting our state. Mahalo and aloha 👍🤙🏽🌈😎

This is the most interesting video I watched on KZbin about Hawaii’s food scene. Thank you very much Dzung!

[@nidac9420]

Omg. I am crying while watching this right now. Miss HI badly and hope we all can go there again soon!

That was so relaxing for me i am glad you gave me a small mental vacation, loved it.

[@bobbieseguerre53]

Shrimp trucks . Definitely a must . Giovanni’s is our fave .

[@ahjarlsfelt8238]

I’m going to Aulani in April so this video’s timing couldn’t be more perfect! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@irayz2677]

That’s a nice place. Faraway from everything. Plan your travel time and avoid traffic. Have breakfast and enjoy the beach then sightseeing will be alright

[@toniesolomon]

Good video for future foodie tourists thx dzung

[@summrrain7]

I lived in Waipahu back in the 80's. Oh how I miss the wonderful locals and their food. Thanks for the lovely reminder 💖

[@forme3h]

What part of Waipahu? I'm from Honowai Circle, Waipahu.

[@bqdo8445]

So glad made this! We have the same foods palette.

[@aloha_always]

ALOHA🌺 Zippy’s is a local grind, Rainbow Drive-In for Loco Moco. Matsumoto Shave Ice 💘 in Haleiwa (w pronounced v, like eva)✌🏼Food Land Market for inexpensive poke bowl w/rice & cute reusable bags that I like to pick up & give as gifts to my loved ones. Magnolia ice cream for Halo Halo & ice cream, Ala Moana Center so many good eats there Cookie Corner, Big Island Candies has yummy shortbread cookies & chocolates💘

[@jacieeeeee]

I was born and raised on Oahu and just moved away in November. I miss my POI and POKE 😥 Tanioka’s is awesome, but for great poke you should try Ahi & Vegetable (locations in Kalihi, Ala Moana Shopping Center, and Downtown Honolulu) and Aloha Poke Shoppe (Downtown Honolulu). Chun Wah Kam, Island Manapua Factory, Royal Kitchen, and Char Hung Sut are also great for dim sum. 👍🏻 Wish the weather was better while you were there! Oh, and Mitch’s by the airport for AWESOME SUSHI!!

[@noninoni454]

Enjoyed your video I live on Oahu in Hawaii

I Miss My Island..Me & My Wife Moved Outta The Island About 5yrs Ago & Moved To The Mainland..B/c The Cost Of Living Is Too Expensive & Couldn't Afford To Buy A House In Hawaii & Renting For 15yrs + Got Us No Where.. But Anyhow, The Food & Especially The Poke I Really Miss..! I Use To Live In Kahuku Which Is My Home Town, My Wife Is From Waipahu & She Lives Just A Few Streets Down From Tanioka's..Btw Just A Few Stores Down From Tanioka's, There's A Restaurant Called Honolulu Kitchen, There Fried Manapua's Is The Winners..!👍👍 Next Visit, Go Try It Out, They Have All Kine Flavor & I Promise You, You'll Like It, Guarantee..!😊

[@michyynicole7829]

I like you r video. Been to Hawaii many times, but never had that cold weather there. I am a retired American living in J@p@n. Will go back to Hawaii to visit friends and relatives when Corona ends. Your kid is cute. Give her a wild chicken as a friend.

[@VickiB585]

Thank you for the great information...super travel piece you put together.

i am happy you went to tanioka's :) i love it there

[@jessicadacosta]

It looks so stunning there!!

[@TheTravelingBreeze]

Great video thanks for the information 👍

[@Life-oo2tr]

I went to Hawaii in 2014 ish? There used to be a International Market on Waikiki. I was just a simple outdoor foodcourt, but man was the food delicious!!! There was a local seafood stall, Korean place, Chinese, Japanese...But had a Hawaiian twist to all of them. Food was affordable too! I went back a few years later, and unfortunately they've tore down the market. They were building some fancy store to replace it. Also, that loco moco looks INCREDIBLE! I'll have to try it some day.

[@Luvalwayskoi]

I'm gonna add the poi factory to my list when we go back home to Oahu, cause I was drooling watching you. Not to mention my excitement when you ate the "sweet lady waihole" which was probably warm kulolo covered with vanilla ice cream. Thanks for sharing!!

[@arosete3512]

I’m glad you visited our island. Next time you can come to the windward side and visit Moke’s Bread and Breakfast, Cinnamon’s and Over Easy. These are favorite breakfast places. Oh, a shout out to a local coffee shop where they roast their own coffee, Chadlou’s in Kailua. See you next time.

[@joannacaldeira3910]

The dessert you ate at the Waiahole poi factory is kulolo along with the ice cream. Delicious all on its own!

[@patriceadrienne5722]

I went to oahu last November. It was amazing. Eggs and things had delicious brunch with piles of whip cream bigger than ur head & Francis Ford Coppola wines. Oddly enough my sister and I loved thier chicken wings the most. There was a spot we went to that had garlic lobster too: it was just split down the middle and COVERED with a butter sauce that had huge chunks of garlic in it. There was also a vegan spot we tried that was phenomenal: matcha teas & lentil bowls ❤️

[@Aprilsquest1979]

I’m a member of that temple and can’t wait to visit the Oahu location. Thank you for sharing! Nam myo ho renge kyo

[@betamax1091]

Great video! Loved your positive vibes and constant smile. Also respected your mentioning the less than stellar service you received at one of the restaurants. Made your review seem all the more real and believable.

[@Christine-xs2of]

Was that cold? My family went there last winter and loved everything about Hawaii. Miss it so much. So nice to see Hawaii again.

[@jiaen1207]

Thanks for sharing! And I felt exactly the same as you when you talked about the service in Kokohead Cafe!!! 😅

[@gmt5664]

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I should go out and explore my home more often. I see all these great places to eat on other people's KZbin channels and I never go. I appreciate the suggestions in the comments, too. Poi is great for kids, btw because it's easy to digest. Sorry about the weather. That was a crazy week. If you love sushi, try Sasabune. It's omakase (leave choices to the chef). It's not very kid friendly, and expensive, but you won't find better sushi. I'm loving the spicy Thai broth at Hot Pot Heaven in Kapolei. Banzai sushi in Haleiwa has amazing hamachikama. Piggy Smalls in Ward has good Vietnamese fusion cuisine. Across the street at South Shore market is Scratch Kitchen & Meatery. Kilani bakery in Wahiawa for brownies and chantilly cake. Liliha bakery for local grinds, coco puffs, and poi mochi donuts that look like teething rings but are oh, so yummy!

[@ilyjustinluuga]

LOVE HAWAII 🤤❤️

[@Minab86]

Thank you for sharing! I’m going to Kaui and Maui next month! I can’t wait 😊

[@Minab86]

@Silvia Hoard Grand Hyatt in Kauai near Poipu and the Westin Resort and Spa Kaanapali in Maui

[@Minab86]

@Silvia Hoard the beds in all hotels feel the same to me, but you can request extra blankets, pillows, etc. I stayed at the Disney Aulani Resort in Oahu. That resort has the best hotel food. Also, there is a plaza across from there with sushi, monkey pod, coffee shop and other places.

[@btrflywmn]

Never heard of the food you ate but everything looks so good, such a beautiful place also, thanks for sharing.

[@MrsBusto123]

Can I ask what time of year it was when you visited? It seemed like the weather was a bit wild. Thank you! We are really excited to try some of these delicious treats!

[@jgat874]

Love this!!! Please visit Maui!!! Our food are as good as Oahu! ❤️

[@chrisdunne1837]

I came across Mikes Hule Chicken, it was fantastic , lots of flavour. I stayed on the North Shore for 10 days and eat at the food trucks most of the time for lunch and dinner 🥘

[@kaylenhalemanowong3892]

My favorite way to eat poi is to mix it with lomi salmon & poke... and squid luau on the side!

[@jacintalisnu3252]

yummmmmm ill have to go back there to try all those amazing places!!!!

[@yerher26]

What time of the year did you guys go? Planning a trip to Hawaii but want to avoid the raining season.

[@jadecummings8093]

Wow, Hawaii as known as the Paradise Island! It's so beautiful and relaxing place here, maybe someday I should go there and explore. Lovely video! 🌸Aloha!🌸

[@jpe1]

Loved your video, such beautiful cinematography and great editing, good incidental music. Next time you are downtown Honolulu try Goofy’s (between the Hilton and Aqua Palms hotels) for breakfast. Best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had.

[@dreamweaverp]

Places you missed was Shiro’s Saimin Haven in Waimalu, Zippy’s Restaurant in Waimalu (while your there a snack shop is there I cannot remember the name, but they have local snacks. I love the dried lemon! Got to check out the snack shop), Helena’s Hawaiian Food in Kalihi, The Pastele Shop in Kalihi, Nam Fong’s (best shoyu chicken and roast pork!) in China Town, Libby’s Manapua Shop in Kalihi (manapua awesome and dim sum even better!), Fresh Catch Seafood in Kaimuki, Willows Restaurant (major history there) in Honolulu, Haleiwa Joes in North Shore, and believe it or not Macy’s at Pearlridge Shopping Center (LOVE LOVE their baked spagetti!). So many places to try! Got to stay 3 weeks to catch them all! LOL

[@jenniferlea8082]

Sharon P. - The Willows closed. 😢

[@johnntanya]

Plus anything topped with Li Hing Mui! Especially pineapple 😋

[@kmonster93]

Why would you send a tourist to Kalihi? lol

[@jacieeeeee]

Shannon P - Baldwin’s Sweet Shop!

[@SWEETPEA.522]

They got Zippys all over the Dang place! Lol, & manapua trucks come around like the ice cream man!

[@notsonaturally]

Enjoyed watching your video. Oh... those cold windy days...

[@deetee8089]

If it's cold again when you come back to Oahu try Palace saimin. Saimin is a noodle soup like ramen, the saimin noodles have a different texture and taste.

[@shakti7457]

Soon's, down from Aloha stadium! Their Meat juhn is a must!!!

[@forme3h]

I'm glad that u enjoyed our island of Oahu. Btw, Haleiwa is pronounced Ha-lay-eva. We pronounced W as a V, other than that, great video. Mahalo!

[@ifcancanifnocannocan1044]

.So how do you pronounce Kewalo? Wahiawa? Kawaihao ?

[@howellwong11]

@@ifcancanifnocannocan1044 Yep, some words are pronounced with a W and others with a V.

[@AMomsWorld6]

Wow !! Relaxing place.

[@malu1034]

If you come to O'ahu again, try: - Wat Get: Pastele joint in Waipahu that doesn't look like much, but you won't regret it. Get the plate with pastele, ganduli rice, and bacalao salad. - Liliha Bakery: Coco puffs. Period. - Black Sheep Cream: Best ice cream I had so far.

[@AlmaRoldysAdventures]

Love the video

[@tevymartinez344]

Hey! Just started watching your videos recently! Poke is mispronounced in this video. Though people say Poke-ii it is actually pronounced Poke-eh. Just wanted to let ya know! Thank you for featuring my home!

[@pacosanandresbukid4424]

Haole way with the long vowels 🤣

[@iosefosalavea934]

Poi factory best Hawaiian food ever 🤙

[@bananafanafoferry6970]

Poi is supposed to be sort of a palate cleanser. It’s used to balance the salt in pork, which is why there is little flavor. 🙂

[@glee105]

Much like rice and potatoes

[@innocentspectator2678]

Great vid...I loved it..it was like a sbow!

[@robinkomoto5573]

Try dipping the lomi salmon in the poi; for some reason, it takes away much of the sourness (maybe its the tomatoes). Also, the 'easy way out' of the poi sourness is to add sugar. As a kid I couldn't eat it without sugar. The difference is like a cacao bar with or without any sweetener.

[@omggiiirl2077]

I miss home.🥺 I cant even afford to get back, much less even think of retiring or settling there.

[@haynlavaboy]

everyone talks about tanioka's but they are overpriced and not as good places like foodland or even times supermarket, glad that she called out the service at koko head cafe, so many places here in hawaii the service and quality of food has gone down , but it is sometimes understandable because Hawaii is a good place to visit but an expensive place to live, BTW to all those planning to visit, please lock your doors and don't leave any valuables out in the open in your cars, we want you to enjoy your visit and not be a victim of the few bad apples out here, not trying to scare you, just being honest.

[@JohannGambolputty22]

Papa Poi by “a few bad apples” it’s all the homeless crackhead haole scum plaguing the islands. Almost got in a fight 2 days ago and was interview on KHON at how bad the rotting garbage at Diamond Head beach park has gotten. Forget even going to the Waianae side. This state is in trouble. This scum takes over the Kalākaua pavilions on the beach and are passed out drunk everywhere....so those bad apples.
