Top 5 Specialty Food in Honolulu County

1030 Smith St Suite 6, Honolulu, HI 96817, United States

“Absolutely the best meals I have ever had in my life. My family and I came here the second to last night of our vacation and ended up coming back on our last night as well because we loved it so much. If you are looking for pad Thai and green curry then this isn’t the place for you. But if you’re willing to expand your horizons a bit and let Opal order for you, you will not be disappointed! I honestly don’t know exactly what I ate, all I know is that it was delicious and I wanted more! Everything tasted familiar but different at the same time. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant!”

2908 E Manoa Rd, Honolulu, HI 96822, United States

“This is a local food restaurant. It is only available for takeout, but the taste and quantity are very satisfying. If you want to eat poke on Oahu, I highly recommend this place. There is no parking lot, but there is a shopping mall in front, so it is convenient to park. Even if there are many waiting customers, they are all for takeout, so they will be gone soon, so you don't have to wait long.”

2250 Kalakaua Avenue by, Royal Hawaiian Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815, United States

“The best poke bowl in Honolulu. The sashimi are fresh and japanese rice cooked to perfection. The quantity of sashimi per box is just the right amount to enjoy every bite with the hot rice. Their spicy poke is seasoned well. Each taste is clean to enjoy the freshness and quality of fish.”

“The dinner menu was excellent and our service was great for a Friday evening. I loved my mochi brownie dessert with the signature Gin and Tonic cocktail and would recommend for a nice dinner. It’s a somewhat small dinner and brightly lit, …”

3113 Mokihana St, Honolulu, HI 96816, United States

“Silky smooth ice topped with either natural or artificial flavors to give you a uniquely tropical flavor experience! Choose either from their pre chosen 3-flavor Rainbow shave ice, or choose your own 2 flavors. Keiki size is for kids 9 and under. Get the flavor that you like, you won’t be disappointed. Double check with the cashier if the flavor is made from real fruit or if it’s a syrup. Eat it quick before it melts. Plenty of parking and dining space at this location.”

1028 Nuuanu Ave, Honolulu, HI 96817, United States

“Came here for a quick lunch; service was great! The Yuzu Tea was very good and our waitress was very attentive. We had the garbanzo curry, Truffle Mandoo, and Confit Pork Belly Brulee, which was a little pricey, but they were all very good and filling. The Truffle Mandoo is served with soy sauce cubes and daikon, which was a unique surprise. Our meals came with mixed rice and a salad as well!”

3111 Castle St, Honolulu, HI 96815, United States

“This place makes monster size shave ice bowls. Family came here after the beach and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I did find the syrup a little bit too sweet compared to other places on the island. This place was managed by one brother taking in all the orders (kudos to him!) So the wait time may be a smidge on the long side. But we had time so this was not an issue for us. Few tables inside to enjoy the AC while you consume the shave ice”

537 Pensacola St, Honolulu, HI 96814, United States

“Food is just " okay ". The orange sweet sour fish do not taste good at all, just too sweet and No fish meat inside, they given me fish skin with flour. Ginger chicken fried rice is very good and the black pepper fish too salty.👎 By the way the food temperature 🌡️ is not fresh and been sitting there pretty long time and they are not hot at all. They are loop worm temperature 🌡️!!!! 👎👎 Cleanliness is not one of their numbers priority !!!!👎👎👎👎👎 *The bathroom very nasty. Look at the photo. Their attitude don't care to clean up, I have asked about that. **Parking is in Front of the door, but, it's back of the store. Not located in front of the street.”

232 Kalihi St, Honolulu, HI 96819, United States

“This is take away only now. We just got a side portion of their famous tataki to try which has about 8 pieces over some veggies. It was yum and fresh but unsure about all the fuss over it. Good value though for $9.95 but wouldn’t go out of my way for this.”

2233 Kalākaua Ave B310, Honolulu, HI 96815, United States

“The restaurant is in a great location; it's in a popular, beautiful area not far from the beach that actually had a live free show going on while we were there. Our family went to get sushi. We were seated promptly, our orders taken quickly, and all had our sushi extremely fast. Great presentation, and everything tasted fresh and delicious.”

1154 Koko Head Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816, United States

“Our staff got lunch from them today and it was amazing! We got the Crater, Sproutwich, and Fonz. It's nice to have vegan options as well! It was our first time trying them and it definitely won't be our last. Mahalo for your amazing service and great-tasting sandwiches!”

315 Uluniu St, Kailua, HI 96734, United States

“Dosa in Oahu was a much needed respite for us from other options on the island. We visited Ganesh Dosa twice during our trip and the dosas were consistently crisply both times. The sweet dosa was delicious and so was their idli. The sambar and chutneys were yummy and we had them alone after finishing dosas. Our kids loved it too as it was not spicy like traditional sambar. Will visit again.”

2211 Kūhiō Ave., Honolulu, HI 96815, United States

“Fantastic pizza kept us coming back! Price per slice seems high but you really only need one 12/28/23 update: went back after a couple years, the crust was suffering from being reheated, and the cheese either wasn't the same or was also suffering from the reheated taste. Still a good slice just not as fresh and good as expected.”

59-680 Kamehameha Hwy, Haleiwa, HI 96712, United States

“Local food truck on the North Shore across from Banzai pipeline beach. This is where the locals go to eat - so give it a try. Parking can be a challenge but it is worth the effort. Plenty of outdoor seating. A local favorite is the Shoyu Teri Chicken. It’s awesome and so are the views.”

808 Sheridan St #307, Honolulu, HI 96814, United States

“Absolutely amazing experience. Each dish was crafted with so much care you can tell how much the owner cares for his Buisness. The sake, every type of dish, and the customer service was amazing. When I visit Hawaii again this place is definitely my go to for a quality experience!”

“Duc’s has been around since the early 90’s. It’s an upscale viet/French bistro and everything on menu is great. This little China town joint has survived the test of time. You can expect the namesake, Duc, to greet you at the table most nights. He’s a nice guy with great food. Definitely a great spot for a nice dinner.”
