  Don't go to Dukes that is where all the tourist go! Gotta go to Islanders on the north side of the military golf course in the Safeway parking lot!!! That is a true local spot! I get it every time I am on the island!!! about 7 years ago

  I am a fan of fish tacos at Tiki's. If you are into Italian, check out Divino's. It's a little hole in the wall, but super delicious. almost 7 years ago

  I have just come back from Oahu - I tried some of the suggestions above and have a few recommendations:
  - definitely go to Leonard's as the malasadas are to-die-for
  - Town Restaurant is great, off the busy Waikiki strip, with fresh, local produce and a good wine selection
  - South Shore Grill is a cheap and cheerful restaurant about a 10 minute walk from Waikiki; it's super good value - I had a delicious salmon fillet with salad for about $10
  - Uncle Bo's (close to Leonard's) has a good atmosphere, okay food, and plenty of locals eat there so it's nice to get away from the busy tourist area
  - Fatty's fast food Chinese is a favourite of my travel companion as it's super cheap and very fresh. It's not really my bag but it's incredibly popular
  - Ramen Nakamura, down opposite Tiffany & Chanel, is also very good value with yummy gyozas
  Enjoy! over 5 years ago
