Henry’s Place

WHOA..best ice cream in Waikiki,

There are lots of shaved ice/ mochi places in Hawaii; but trhey all pail in comparison to Henry's Place and did I forget to mention that it's in Waikiki!

For $5.46 you get your pick of ice cream or sorbet in a cup (I would go for Ice cream on your first time...since the sorbet taste more like frozen fruit, if you like that sort of thing). The flavors vary, but contain green tea, mango, guava, melon for the most part. Very conviently located next to embassy suites (on the valet parking side)...this is one of the few "gems" hidden in Wakiki...definately worth a visit if you are visiting!

La Mariana Sailing Club

Classic "American" style Hawaiian Diner.

Remember those very classic dinners you see that serve club sandwiches, burgers and rest. Imagine that with a bit of a Hawaiian twist. So instead of Monday Margarita night, they have tikki drinks for example.

The food is good (mainly sandwiches, burgers, steaks..not too much Hawaiian), but it's the ambiance you go for in this place. You get a very nice view of the water, and although the location is a bit weird (Sand island access road???) It's a very cool place you can show off to people, especially since it's off the main grid.

Viva la Hawaii (Yes that was cheesy)

Max's of Manilla

Halo Halo and chicken galore.

Relatively cheap and tasty, Max's of Manila (or Max's Chicken for short) is a go to spot in Hawaii. The food is Filipino without being too exotic.
The chicken and fries is a classic, and to cool off on a hot day, the halo halo is a must eat.
Also give the Sago't Gulaman a try (it taste like Boba Tea/ Bubble Tea).

Plenty of parking next to Costco, this is a place for visitors and locals alike.
