My Private List of Must-Eat Restaurants in Honolulu, Hawaii! 🔥

Just revisited my all-time favorite spots in Honolulu — from iconic local institutions to Michelin-recognized gems. If you want the real taste of Hawaii, these are the places to go! 🍣 1️⃣ Sekiya’s Restaurant & Delicatessen (Classic Japanese) 💰 $15–$25 per person Opened in 1935 — my go-to spot when I crave authentic, no-fuss Japanese. Everything is fresh and timeless. 🔥 Must-order: Oyako Donburi (Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl) Oxtail Soup (Tender, rich, fall-off-the-bone goodness 🍲) Hot Fudge Sundae (Old-school Japanese-style dessert 🍫) 🍛 2️⃣ Helena’s Hawaiian Food (No.1 Local Hawaiian Food) 💰 $20–$30 per person Opened in 1946 — the BEST place to try everything Hawaiian in one meal. Nothing disappoints! 🔥 Must-order: Pipikaula Short Ribs (Crispy outside, tender inside 🥩) Lomi Salmon (Chilled salmon & tomato salad 🍅) 💡 Local tip: Their rice has a sticky, mochi-like texture — don’t skip it! 🌊 3️⃣ La Mer (Fine Dining with a View) 💰 $100+ per person The most “Hawaiian soul” fine-dining experience — total old-money vibes 💫 Window seats offer stunning views of Diamond Head and the coastline. Super photogenic! 📸 🔥 Must-order: Island Keahole Lobster (Fresh, bouncy, delicious 🦞) Filet of Beef (With truffle potato & foie gras 🥩) 💡 Book at least 1 month in advance! 🍠 4️⃣ Waiahole Poi Factory (Best Poi on the Island) 💰 $15–$25 per person Famous for poi (taro paste) — you can even try making it yourself at the entrance! 🔥 Must-order: Sweet Lady of Waiahole (Poi + coconut milk + sticky rice — dessert version of Loco Moco 🍚) Laulau (Meat wrapped in taro leaves 🌿) 🍽️ 5️⃣ Senia (Michelin-Recommended) 💰 $100+ per person Founded by Hawaiian chef Chris Kajioka and star chef Anthony Rush. Their seasonal tasting menu is a must-try! 🔥 Must-order: Local Sweet Potato Ravioli (With sweet-salty palm sugar butter sauce 🧈) Tasting Menu (Includes creative takes on Loco Moco & poi foam) ✨ Save this list — you won’t regret it! #Hawaii #Oahu #HonoluluEats #Foodie #HawaiianFood #FineDining #TravelHawaii
