🍜 Honolulu Food Guide (Part 1) | Must-Try Restaurants

During the pandemic, Oahu became my go-to vacation spot — I’ve been 4 times! 🏝️ From viral spots to hidden gems, here’s my food roundup (non-comprehensive but real!): Island Vintage Coffee ☕ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Oahu’s most popular brunch — lives up to the hype! Must-tries: Açaí Bowl, Ube Bagel, Loco Moco, Benedict, Shrimp Sandwich 🥯🍤 Skip sugary coffee drinks (unless you love sweet!) Heavenly Island Lifestyle Waikiki 🌿 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Organic, fresh ingredients → my favorite brunch spot! Best Loco Moco ever (less greasy than others!) Also great: Benedict, Fish Tacos, Breakfast Plate 🥑 Healthy but still delicious 😋 Goofy Cafe & Dine 🥞 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sister restaurant to Heavenly → same healthy vibe! Light, non-greasy Benedict ✅ Loco Moco is decent (but meat-lovers might prefer others!) Tonkatsu Tamafuji 🐖 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Two famous tonkatsu spots: this vs. Ginza Bairin No premium Kurobuta pork here, but less greasy → easy to finish! Must-order: Fried shrimp — juicy, sweet, and crispy! 🍤 Next goal: Try the fried oysters! Wagaya 🍜 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Famous for black garlic ramen/dipping noodles (rich flavor!) Also good: Karaage, Agedashi Tofu, Corn Tempura 🌽 #OahuEats #HonoluluFood #BrunchGoals #FoodieGuide #HawaiiTravel 🌺📸
