I Declare This the Best Stir-Fry in Hawaii! πΆοΈ
No ad here β I never do sponsored food reviews, for a simple reason: no oneβs asked me to π But when I find food this good, I just have to share! After half a year in Hawaii π΄, Iβve loved everything except the food β itβs been so hard to find real flavor π But finally, I discovered an amazing Hunan restaurant that totally hit the spot! π₯³ π Shi Yu Hunan Cuisine π Address: 2025 S Beretania St, Honolulu, HI 96826 Easy to find with navigation π§, but heads up β I almost walked into the glass door a few times! π The main entrance is on the far right side of the restaurant. Donβt get tricked! The portions are generous π₯, and the flavors are legit π β almost too legit, because I couldnβt stop eating rice ππ«. My only real complaint? They were out of my favorite pickled long beans π₯¬! Major bummer. π° Price: $129 for four dishes β not exactly cheap, but totally worth it for the taste. Honestly, one dish wouldβve been enough for two people π±! The Stinky Tofu with Pork Intestine was absolutely explosive in flavor π₯ β so good! If you have leftovers, take them home and add potatoes π₯ to turn it into a whole new dish β¨. And the Stir-Fried Beef with Wild Chilies π₯©? Pure therapy on a plate! Especially if youβve been suffering from too much Western food during your travels π¨π³. Mix it with rice π, take a bite, and just soak in the happiness π₯°~ Even the veggie dishes β like the Spicy Cauliflower π₯¦ and Dry-Fried String Beans π« β were delicious! It reminded me how disappointing some other spots can be β like that one Sichuan place I tried recently πΆοΈβ¦ not only was it bland, but you could totally tell it came from a pre-made sauce pack π€’. (Well, that one was cheaper though π°β¦ oops, going off track! Letβs get back π) π‘ Tips to Know Before You Go: Adjustable Spice Level πΆοΈ: If you canβt handle heat, say βless spicyβ upfront π, or you might be crying tears of fire! π§ Great for Sharing π―: Best for 2β4 people. Order a few classic dishes to share β best value and variety! Parking Can Be Tricky π: Limited spots on Beretania St β οΈ β come early to snag one! Peak Hours β°: Dinner rush (6β7 PM) may mean waiting π§βπ€βπ§. Lunch is much more relaxed. β¨ Final Take: Finding such an authentic, bold Hunan restaurant in Hawaii πΆοΈ really feels like βa little slice of home in a faraway placeβ π. If youβre in Honolulu and craving some fiery hometown flavors πΆοΈ, just go for it! #HonoluluEats π #HunanInHawaii πΆοΈ #ChineseFoodAbroad π¨π³ #HonoluluGuide π #HawaiiTravel
