I'm going to have to add @zephaniespizza to my list of Kahuku foodie finds because this pizza slapped hard 🍕 👍

Not only do they do the classic pizzas well, but this wife and husband team also put their own twist on the food that incorporates their personality and cultural upbringing into the mix. I was blown away by the beautiful color of the taro dough, and also very pleasantly surprised at how well the pho pizza worked for me. I mean holy crap what the hell am I eating lol 🤯🍕🤤💕

Enjoy $1 small shave ice from 10am as well as a special edition "ichiban" shave ice for $7.50. $10 anniversary T-shirts by @hilife will be on sale too. There's also a crop-top version that's my favorite of course 😉

@noribar_hi now has Japanese breakfast! From 8 to 10, you can enjoy this elegantly simple breakfast set from Nori Bar in @wardvillage to start your day right 😁

There are a lot of options to choose from, but my favorites were the salmon flakes and ikura set, the gyudon set, the hamachi kama set, and the sashimi set (sashimi not pictured but you can kinda see it in the background of the last photo)

They are also doing all day ramen from 8am, so if you ever wanted to eat ramen for breakfast, we'll there ya go 🍜

One of my favorite places for Indian food is Kamana Kitchen downtown, which @jeddiek was nice enough to introduce me to, and so I was stoked to hear that they opened a second location in Kapahulu. All the favorite dishes are there, like the chicken tikka masala, and some new ones too, like the sizzling platter meat grill.

The new location even has its own dedicated parking spots, so parking isn't that bad for Kapahulu. Highly recommended if you're looking for some buttery curries and sauces 👍

Three burger posts in a row, why not!

@villagebeerkapolei is the new Village location on the West side and it has some amazing food thanks to the talented @kaleo_cooks.

Their simple smash burger for only NINE DOLLARS was super tasty and filling, and a great choice for someone who wants a quick and budget friendly comfort dish.

Also going on until October 20th, is their Oktoberfest special menu which features a great tasting fusion of local and German flavors. Plus giant beer steins 🍻.

🍤 Tempura Omakase? Yes!
⭐️ Michelin-starred Chef? Double yes!

What an epic epicurean experience at Tempura Ichika. It really felt like we were in 🇯🇵 for those few hours — and not sitting right off busy Piikoi Street.

Perfectly seasoned batter and cooked in their special oil, there was hardly a trace of oil when the items were served to us. The omakase is 10 different kinds of tempura, which really means about 15 pieces. Also, salad, sashimi, chazuke and dessert…the star to me was the ankimo. 🤤 Tempura ⭐️ was the uni inside of fried nori. 😋

Huge thanks to Honolulu’s finest foodie for the invite to Tempura Tuesday. And big props to Chef Kiyoshi Chikano and his staff…awesome! ごちそうさまでした!! #tempura #tempuraomakase #tempuraichika #おいしかった #michelinchef #Hawaii #ハワイ #Honolulu #ホノルル

If you haven’t been to @thehautree at the @kaimanabeach recently — or ever! — you’ll definitely want to check it out now. This iconic oceanfront restaurant in Waikīkī, right on Kaimana Beach 🏝️, has a revamped brunch and dinner menu, crafted by award-winning chef John Taube IV and cocktail mixologist extraordinaire @jenackrill 🍹

We loved the new dishes — shakshouka with sourdough toast, frittata with Portuguese sausage and sun-dried tomatoes, ube cinnamon roll, crab cake bennies — and its stellar lineup of drinks and mocktails 🤙🏽

The restaurant’s signature eggs Benedict 🍳 and lemon ricotta pancakes 🥞 are still on the menu, too.

Plus, you can’t beat the view. (Optional Hawaiian monk seal 🦭 sightings.)

Reservations strongly recommended.
