Looking for other places to go to eat that is ono.

So far my favorite place is probably Sushi Sasabune, but I can't eat there all the time.. to friggen expensive. OH and Boot's and Kimo!! damm those pancakes are good. The ribs too.

Other places I like are Momomo, Uncle Bucks, and Shokudo.
Places that I have tried and thought they were okay are:
Ono's
Alan Wong (overated)
Roys
Sam Choy's
Kincaid
Phuket
Akubones
Side Street
Longhee
Sorabols



Can you list some places you would suggest trying out? Doesn't matter if it's a hole in the wall or a 4 star restuarant.

Ichi-Ryu > Taiyo

 

lately my favorite ramen shop is Tenkaiipen or something. It's right next to Tiffany and co. in waikiki. Char-sui Koterri ramen with side order fried chicken. That beats everything else.

 

sushi-kahala zippys (trust me it's good)
steak-ruth chris
fine dining-nicks fishmarket
local grinds- KJ in kaneohe. (best fried chicken and furakaki chicken)
shrimp-giovannis shrimp truck (yes it's better then the one we always go to on the cruises)
misc-That chinese across the piano shop on king street and next door from a bakery. (seafood black bean noodles or ja jang min, try it you may like it)

 

Dong yang.
tanioka.

 

I think this is the one that's awesome according to my friend. Otherwise it's Yotteko-ya (sp?) in McCully shopping center.

Yotteko-ya > Gomachi

Yotteko simmers their soup base for 10hours and believe me it is awesome!

 

GomaTei (at ward) > Gomaichi, so i've heard. never had gomaichi but gomatei is the best ramen i've ever had! tan tan ftw! gomaichi's cook left and openned up gomatei, i heard.

 

Millions has good soups and special tea.

Great list, going to try to hit up all these restuarant before I go on a diet next year. Since moving down here, I weight the same, but non of my clothes fits me anymore from the beginning of the year. Scratching my head on that one.
