Growing up in Kaneohe we camped in every beach park, Kualoa, Kaaawa, Punaluu all the way to Laie, good memories ❤😍
Aloha Joanna!! Good to hear from another local! Aww I would have loved to hear the stories of those times. I wonder if you could still camp at all those places?🤙
Aloha Sean, my wife and I just met your mom at The Food Company while getting dinner. She is as kind and vibrant in person as she is in your videos. By the way, your Kaneohe video was timely as we are staying for a month in Kailu to celebrate my wife's birthday and we are committed to trying as many places on the windward side of the island as we can. Love your videos. Mahalo. Dale and Celeste
Aloha Dale and Celeste!! Awww yes my Mom told me that she met you and I appreciate your kind words! It makes my Mom proud and def a reminder to keep working hard! I just came to the Food Company and so much good food!:) i love your desserts too! Happy Birthday to your wife and please enjoy all the Kaneohe eats. Mahalo🤙👍
This guy is one of the nicest peeps you meet on this side. I got to meet Sean playing basketball at Kaneohe district park. And he is a very good player that would shoot a three on you and say thank you. He is da man.
Aloha Fosterrob!! Mahalo for your kind words!! Oh those were the days playing basketball at Kaneohe District Park!🏀 I prefer to have friendly basketball games. Thanks again. This comment made my day🤙🏀😊🔥
My father-inlaw was from Kaneohe and he would always take us to Kim Chee 1 when we visited. Thank you for the awesome tour. It brought back many good memories. 🤙
Aloha Alan! Mahalo for always watching and supporting us! Your Father in Law is a good man! Kim.Chee 1 has been awesome for decades! Hope all is well😋👍🤙
The serious look of the tastiness of the Katsu lol 😂
Hahaha.. it really wad the best Katsu I've ever had that's why.🤙😋😂
Sean, your videos are Fantastic. I am Kaneohe resident since 1978. Keep up the awesome vids.
Aloha Terrii! Good to heat from another Kaneohe resident!!🤙Mahalo for sharing and your support🤙

Aloha Sean! Woooo! What a video! So many great places to eat but surprisingly I enjoyed the hiking tips! Thank you for them! One day I wanted to go into the valley in the mountains of Aiea and stealth camp but Ill refrain so I dont go missing. Instead Ill try the hikes you showed. I love camping at Hoomaluhia. We did that and it was awesome. Thanks so much for all your hard work making these videos. 👍🤙
Aloha Misty... awwww how about we ask Michelle, Jose, and I'll bring Nhi and we all go for a hike. You won't go missing with all of us. Lol. And I haven't camped at Ho'omaluhia yet. Seems like great family time. Thanks for always supporting👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi That would be a great idea! Sounds fun. 🤙

Aloha Sean & Nhi ! Missing Home ! Enjoying your vlogs ! Mahalo for sharing onolicious eats in Kaneohe !!!
Aloha Gail!! Mahalo for always supporting us Hawaii CZcamsrs. Hope you come back and visit soon!:)🤙👍
Mahalo braddah...
Good info.!
We love the Temple.
It's totally worth the 5 bucks!
Talk about peace & țranquility!!! ❤
Byodo In Temple is def worth the 5 bucks. Mahalo for going and supporting local🤙👍
Love your videos bradda. Pls dont stop creating content for us
Aloha 808Trader. Mahalo for your support. We just dropped a video yesterday 🤙
At Kim Chee, I like to dip the katsu in the tempura sauce....idk it just goes so well together
Aloha Jmauharvey! I may have to try dip the Katsu in the Tempura sauce next time👍🤙😋
You’re the best going back to Hawaii in June 27. This will be my number 4 trip my 2nd to Oahu.
Aloha Oscar!! Enjoy your 4th time here! So much more to do!!👍🤙❤️
Aloha Sean!! Kaneohe, food, and the Ko’olau Mountains…enough said!! Loved the video as usual. Kaneohe has soooo many local grinds for sure. 😋The K-town Loco Moco with the 4th of July fireworks looked fire🔥!! Added to the list…We pass by Kim Chee I so many times and wondered about it…not wondering anymore!! Added it to the list especially with your reaction from the chicken katsu.😋Definitely affordable prices too!! Coral Kingdom is another spot we’ve passed always seeing the Huli Huli chicken outside. Cool to know it’s made Filipino style!! Never knew much about the Old Pali Hwy or the Friendship Garden but now we know!! So sorry you got picked on when you were younger but I (Michelle) can totally relate to being disciplined with the slipper but instead of the back scratcher it was a big wooden spoon!! Ouch!! Mahalo for sharing that amazing spot at the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden. Absolutely in love with the Ko’olau mountains!! They get more majestic and stunning every time we see them!!
Check out KBayBros Fish & Ice for some amazing Poke!! Right next to Windward Mall. One of our favorite Poke spots on the island!! Also love Gotz Grindz for the variety of musubis and other Japanese dishes like their gyudon and their bentos!! 😋😋
FYI did you know Waiahole Poi Factory will be opening a second location at Windward Mall? Will be checking it out on our next trip out!!
Mahalo nui loa as always for taking us along!!🤙🏽🙌🏽
Aloha Michelle and Jose!! Yes, next time you guys are here, we should go to Kaneohe Pancake House and get that K Town Loco Moco and Ube!:) and Kim Chee is good too. So much more that I didn't even know. And the big wooden spoon sounds more scary, but maybe that's why we're good adults because we were disciplined and raised old school:) and sounds good with KayBay Bros Fish. I'll try it out and yes, Waiahole Poi Factory is opening in the Mall, I'll have to check it out. Mahalo for watching and look forward to seeing you guys when you come back👍🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi definitely sounds like a great plan😋!! Happy Aloha Friday!! 🤙🏽🙌🏽
In 1966 a friend of mine and I took a drive up the old Pali road and got stuck. It took us about an hour to get the car unstuck. I loved being stationed in Kaneohe.
Oh wow! In todays world.. we just call our Insurance company. Mahalo for sharing stories about old times in Kaneohe🤙
Beautiful hometown Kaneohemoved there in 1966.
Aloha Edward.. yes.. so lucky to live Kaneohe. Would love to see pics back then🤙♥️
Mahalo Sean. This will definitely help with our trip in November. I might put on weight but it looks like I will have fun doing it.😂
Aloha Dale!! Please enjoy your time here in November and you can always exercise before and after the trip. Enjoy😋🤙👍🏃♂️
Brah!!! Watching you eat all that ono'licious food while I eat instant ramen...lol Mahalo for the adventures and tips!
🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈
Aloha Braddah Bruce🤙 Always good hearing from you bro! I East Instant Ramen a cpl times a week. That's local boy eats. Mahalo🤙😋👍
Awesome awesome video Sean, I was drooling the whole time watching this one. Everything looks so delicious and yummy. Too bad I can only eat it in my dreams. I guess thats what medication is for to counteract all these food. Welcome back Nhi, sorry we missed you there last month, hope to meet you someday. Sean, you have another winner here keep up the good work. God bless.
Aloha Dadcation!!! Awwww wish we could share all these foods but there are some good healthy foods top we can eat🤙👍and Nhi would be happy to meet you and Momcation! Well def let you know when we're in San Diego and please let us know when you come back and visit. I wanna try those buko pies👍🤙😋 Mahalo for supporting!
Me and my kids are fans you inspired us to come to honolulu for our homeschooling adventure for 6 weeks. And we have 2 weeks left we had so much good food but I can not find the video with the gas station chicken skins and honestly I can't stop thinking about it 😢 could you refresh my memory please
Aloha Faithfulmat! Please tell your kids we saudnhi and enjoy the adventure the next couple weeks. The video with Chicken skin is in Oahu Food Tour Part 2. Have a great weekend👍🤙

We saw you at Aulani recently and wanted to say hi but you looked busy for obvious reasons :) We didn't want to be those goober people - lol! Mostly wanted to tell you that we appreciate the work that you're doing - showcasing local locations and dining. You show that you have an absolute love of Hawaii, the local people, local traditions, local foods, etc. It definitely comes through!! Keep on doing all the things that you're doing.
Aloha Suzanne!!! Awww.. you can say hi and we can take pics if you see me at Aulani. The guest see me and sometimes I feel like they want to ask for a pic so I just tell them we can take one:) I won't see you as a goober person:) And thank you for your kind words. Just trying my best to represent the islands!:) Have a great weekend🤙👍
You Rock Sean 😊. I was just in Honolulu for 8 days and we ate so well. Never went hungry. Only good place. Hawaiian shave ice !!
Thank you Thank you!
Aloha 325Crob! Hope you had a blast for those 8 days eating great food! Mahalo for watching👍🤙
We never had a bad meal. I went to all the shaved ice locations. The most I got in one day was seven. I'll be back next year.
I guess I don’t drive up Kahuhipa too much now, cause I totally didn’t notice the Koa House changed name to The Pancake House. Food looks just as killer!!! How cool to eat the coconut meat after the shaved ice. I Gotta go try em!! I never went to the secret beach from the park before. Now I know we can 🤙🏼.
Born and raised here and always went to the same places growing up. Fun video Sean. Thanks for the ride 👍🏼🤙🏼🫶🏻I love hanging out at Ho’omaluhia. I can NEVER get enough of the Ko’olaus!!!
Aloha Urs!! Always good hearing from you! And yes they changed the name I believe a cpl years ago. Doo good the food there at the Kaneohe Pancake House and the Secret Beach is a nice getaway. Hope you get to explore more of these places and yes, I can never get tired of the Koolaus too. Have a great weekend!:)🤙👍⛰️
Thanks so much for another great video, Sean! I was born and raised in Honolulu; now living in Pittsburgh. I'll be home about a month and I can't wait to eat at Kin Wah. That was my Grandpa's favorite Chinese restaurant and I love their cake noodle. So good!
Aloha Kelly from Oahu to Pittsburgh! Aww glad your Grandpa likes Kin Wah and the food is always the same quality. So good. Enjoy when you're here🤙👍
We got to meet Sean on our recent trip to Oahu, he is even more personable and outgoing in person. It was one of the highlights of my trip to meet you brother. Ping me if you ever make it to North Carolina. I can’t promise a Duke basketball game but a good food tour of Mayberry is on me
Aloha Brad!! It was nice meeting you and your wife Annie (sp)? Yesterday!:)🤙👍 Mahalo for your kind words!! If I make it to North Carolina.. Mayberry sounds good to me!! I appreciate the offer🤙👍
I remember Kahana Bay on my last visit I came with a few friends from Florida that never been before and they really enjoyed it all and even had some of our delicious food. I love your guys videos. Don't stop. Much Aloha for keeping us updated 🤙💯👍.
Aloha Linda! I'm glad you had a great time at Kahana Bay with friends! Mahalo from Oahu to Florida
It was funny because I never saw the chickens there and a family of chickens and chicks were walking toward us . Mind you this was a first time trip there so a lot of stuff was awesome for them to see . my aunty lived in Kailua when I came and I visited her after not seeing her for over thirty years and my daughter made the trip more special for us when she greeted us with lei's at the airport. Everything was amazing especially the food, I gained 6 pounds . My daughter lives on Molokai and I have family on Big island, all over 😂. Stay blessed and keep up the good videos. Mahalo 🤙🙏!@@SeanKaleponi
I had that shave ice last Time the coconut whip hit different
Aloha Crazy Curiel!! That Coconut Is different huh? I love it🤙👍😊
Mahalo Sean! I really enjoy all your videos! But this one was more personal (thank you for that extra). I love Hawaii & feel like I miss it all the time.
Aloha Littleorphanie! Glad you enjoyed this Kaneohe video. Hoping you come back and visit Hawaii🤙😁
I was born and raised in Kaneohe. Left decades ago but my brother still lives there. Still have fond memories, especially about the food. My grandmother owned an okazuya in Kaneohe and I remember going there all the time.
Mahalo Stewart for sharing your memories. Would like to see pics of your Grandmother's shop. Hope you visit your brother soon and come back to Kaneohe. So much has changed.👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Hii Sean. don't have any pictures of her shop. That was decades ago. I looked and there's another okazu-ya in the same location now called Chi-Chan's.
Before she moved there, her place was across the street from the Jack in The Box. (Is the crack seed store still there?). If I recall correctly, it was next to a medical building. My pediatrician used to have his office there.
Was there in June. My mother passed away earlier I I returned for her memorial service. Kaneohe has changed but part of it is still there. Zippy's is still there as well as the Chinese restaurant next to the post office.
Back when we came for our 25th Wedding Anniversary (married at the Wahiawa Botanical Gardens in 1976), we stayed at a place called Schrader's in Kaneohe. Was right on the bay in a residential neighborhood (I think it has been turned into Paradise Bay). We loved it - so low key, our unit was right on the water with a coconut palm growing right up through the lanai and when the tide came in, the water came up underneath us. The view was spectacular. We were appalled at what Waikiki had turned into, but the windward side was still laid back and we spent a lot of time there and at the north shore. If we are lucky enough to make it back, will check out some of the places on this vlog - they look amazing.
Aloha Sharon!! Oh wow!! 50th Weddiing Anniversary is coming up shortly!! Hope you're able to revisit thr Gardens un Wahiawa and yes, Waikiki has changed so much but Kaneohe is still laid back. Hope you're able to visit soon. Mahalo for your telling your story!:)👍🤙
Another great video! I’ve been binge watching your videos this week after booking plane tickets to visit in January. I am looking forward to visiting family and some new places!
Aloha Dametime!! Always good hearing from you bro!! Enjoy family and the activities in Jan! Less than 2 months away🤙

I stopped by at the Mac farm and saw the Snowball cookies. $9.95. Your production cost mist be enormous. 😊. I did not get the cookie but I drank the sample coffee and purchased few sauces.
Aloha Min.. the snowball cookies aren't the same as when I went back in early 2021. Higher cost and less quality. But overall MacNut Farm is a good place to go🤙😋
I loved watching your videos ❤️😍❤️
Mahalo Nenita! I appreciate your supporting this channel👍🤙😋
Now the secret is out. Kin Wah! 😅. The best Chinese restaurant. Everyone on that side of the island already knows 😄 96744 🤙
Hahaha yup true Chris. Good hearing it from another local CZcamsr from Kaneohe too! Actually, I don't even know anything about other Chinese Restaurants here so Kin Wahs gotta be the best🤙👍
Brah! Making me homesick and I still live on Oahu :D
Haha PapaCoyote! You can explore the island anytime my man👍🤙
Sean, you make everything look onolicious! Can't wait to visit Kaneohe!
Aloha Vivian!! Mahalo for watching and yes please come to Kaneohe and try all these ono foods🤙👍😋
I remember "Secret beach" (Camp kualoa) was in that very spot when I was a kid in the early 80's, loved those days. Always wondered about the area after the camps ended with title 1 parks and Rec.
Aloha Jen! Oh yes, when I went to Secret Beach, I saw they had a kids camp going on so maybe much hasn't changed since the 80s. Still beautiful at Kualoa. 🤙👍
Good stuff my friend!! Keep up the good work!! 🤙🤙
Mahalo AshleyandWesley! We appreciate your kind words🤙👍

When I lived in Kaneohe the pancake house was called KOA…. Great spot. Surprised you didn’t mention Haleiwa Joe’s in Haiku? Used to walk down for their Sunday Prime Rib brunch buffet. Hopefully they bring it back someday. Great video… Made me miss living there! 🤙🏻
Aloha and yes.. I remember when it was called Koa too and Haleiwa Joe's is good but gosh.. they don't do reservations and such a long wait to get in but one day we'll eat there. Prime Rib is soo good there when I went for a Wedding celebration.🤙👍😋
@@SeanKaleponi Aloha….The prime Rib is worth the wait for sure…. But if you don’t get there early it may be solid out. The escargot is great too as an appetizer. If you ever go I’d be interested in your opinion. 🤙🏻
Awesome collection of foods and hidden gems!!
Mahalo KoaCrew for watching!! I'll see you guys on the next visit👍🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi yes definitely!
Added so many new places to visit when we celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary next week! Thank you for this video! 🤙🏻
Aloha Paosison!! Mahalo for watching and congrats on 10 beautiful years together!!!! Woohooo!!🥂👏
i live in kahaluu and going to hoomaluhia is a great peaceful place to eat lunch there.
Aloha Yard! I agree from one Kaneohe resident to another. Def enjoy just hanging out and eating at Hoomaluhia!🤙😋👍
Aloha Sean, mouthwatering food, fantastic sharing 👍🙌🙏
Aloha Jean!! Mahalo for watching and your kind words 👍🤙
Thanks for putting this video together! Really enjoyed it & the yummy eats! Such a beautiful place!
BTW, thanks for sharing your childhood story & love your "not sharing" shirt!
Aloha Lisa!! Mahalo for always supporting this channel! I hope you're able to try all these great eats! And yeah, I laugh with my childhood story and still working on trying to make a merchandise shop. Glad you liked the shirt. 🤙👍😋
Aloha from California Sean! Thank you so much for sharing! Thank you especially for featuring my parents in the video when they saw you at the Byodo in temple 😅 we watched some of your videos before we went on vacation and they got so excited when they recognized you. Keep doing what you’re doing👏🏼
Mahalo Angelea from Oahu to California!! It was a pleasure to meet your family and I appreciate your parents supporting this channel! And yes, more vids to come! Aloha🤙👍
Now that's a REAL 🍔....!! 😋
Thanks John! Lots of good food here😋
KBay is my favorite spot on Oahu. Was just there last week to visit ohana. I didn't go anywhere noticeable though. Dropped by Island Snow but their shave ice is nothing like Matsumoto's. It's just a convenience factor when out and about. haha. Thanks so much for this video!
Aloha Zennoodle! Haha.. you know what, I feel the same about Islandsnow. It's convenient. The moment someone decides to make a really good Shave Ice place nearby. .. watch out. Lol. But yeah, Matsumotos is good👍🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi If any shave ice shop wants to expand in this neighborhood, Island Snow will just be a clothes shop. The ordering process is a bit messy too. Lack of aloha ya know?
Great job Ikaika❤
Thanks Mom for your support🤙👍❤️
The b-rolls in this vlog are breathtaking!! Awesome video Sean!
Aloha Jourdanishungry!! I appreciate your feedback. B Rolls are a little easier since I live here🤙👍⛰️
Hi Sean and Nhi!!! This was an awesome video!! 🤩👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 This is definitely on our bucket list, the next time we go back to Oahu! We cannot wait!!! 😁🤙🏽
Awww thanks Liz!! We appreciate your support and yes, when you do come back to Oahu, I hope you enjoy and like these places:)👍🤙😋
Sean, as always, we truly appreciate your time and effort in putting a quality and detailed vblog together. Your videos are always inspiring and does cause us to try new places. We are back living on island and your welcoming videos are a large cause for it. Please keep it up and don't stop. Shout out to the sometimes behind the scenes camera operaror, Nhi, too!!😂 🤙🏾
Aloha Darius! Mahalo for watching and I appreciate your kind words. It's kind of a gamble when we make a detailed video because we don't know how it will do but your comments reassure us were doing the right thing so thank you. Glad you're living back on the island and I hope you get to try more food spots out. And Nhi says thank you! She will be in more videos soon!:)🤙👍😋
Mahalo , I really got some ideas!
Mahalo Christine for watching ! You'll be here in a cpl weeks👍🤙😋
Hi Sean, LOVE your videos...BUT...could you make a video on what to do in Oahu on a rainy day??
Hi Charmaine!! I think anything indoors would be best on a rainy day. Eating and dining in, Iolani Palace, Bishop Musuem. Please check out my other videos.. and anything indoors is what I recommend on a rainy day🤙
I loved your "Head Dip" after your first bite into the St Louis rib! It sold me. I hope I run into you the next time I'm on the island in January!
Aloha Rob!! Oh The Ribs were sooo good!!😋 Enjoy your time here in Jan and if you see me, please say hi👍🤙
