  • Food for me is one of the main reasons I visit Oahu. While it can be pricy if you know where to find affordable restaurants you can find them.

    Leonard’s malasadas are the Bomb! We went there every day, twice a day sometimes, not
    ashamed to admit it. You are so correct - best to down them immediately, not later.
    And Giovanni’s shrimp truck - good enough to go there on a day it was monsoon raining.

  • @Naytronic

    Open the box on the way back to the hotel from Leonard's so they don't steam up and get soggy. They are fine to travel as long as you open the box.

      We just moved here in November. I recommend Fumi’s shrimp. Giovanni’s is similar and a little cheaper but way busier. Fumi’s gives you a little slice of pineapple along with the shrimp and rice and it’s much quicker and less busy.

    I just went to Oahu last week (June 2021), I followed your recommendations and I was extremely disappointed. Highway Inn is not only non-affordable but also not good and the overall experience was horrible. They made me wait in the parking lot for 50 minutes even thou there were empty tables inside, many people came by and when they heard the 60-minute waiting they just went somewhere else. When I went inside and I pointed out that I have been waiting out for 50 minutes they got me a place at the counter, then I realized that most of the cooks were preparing take out orders and only some (or one) was actually cooking for in-site dining. I ordered the pork Lau Lau and poi with smashed potatoes, the pork was a two-bite, extremely fatty portion, I got rice instead of poi, and the smashed potatoes was actually mac & cheese (not very Hawaiian I presume). I also ordered a cup of Kona coffee and I got a cold, re-heated coffee that had no aroma nor flavor any longer. The bill was more than 25 dollars which even for Hawaii, it is not in the "affordable" list as the name of the video says. Don't go to Highway Inn restaurant.
