🍙 Oahu/Honolulu Food Guide | Real Local Picks 🍍

After many meals (and some disappointments), here’s what’s actually worth eating! 1️⃣ Totoya 🍣 Sashimi bowls → fresh, beautiful, and delicious! Go early → line gets long fast (arrive 10 mins before opening) Near Waikiki (10-min drive) 2️⃣ Jenny's Shrimp Truck 🍤 North Shore famous spot → garlic shrimp (not spicy but flavorful!) Lives up to the hype! 3️⃣ Higoto Japanese Eatery 🍱 Takeout only → generous rice balls & bento boxes Perfect for beach picnics! 🏖️ Hard to find (basement location) but worth it 4️⃣ Foodland 🛒 Local grocery chain → try fresh-cut pineapple, watermelon, papaya 🍉 Poke highlight: Shoyu Ahi (soy tuna) → best poke on the island! 5️⃣ Fresh Catch Kapahulu 🐟 Takeout only → build-your-own poke bowls Fresh and tasty → near Waikiki (10-min drive) 6️⃣ Ono Seafood 🦑 Dine-in or takeout → poke spot Must-try: Shoyu Ahi + Hawaiian Tako (octopus with fennel!) 10 mins from Waikiki 7️⃣ Marugame Udon 🍜 Udon noodles → skip the crab tempura (fake meat!) Not mind-blowing → “like Yonghe Soymilk in Japan” 😅 Tip: Avoid Waikiki location — long lines! 8️⃣ Mai Tai at a Waikiki Bar 🍹 Classic tropical drink → perfect for sunset sips! 🌅 #HonoluluEats #OahuFood #LocalEats #PokeBowl #TravelTips 🌺📸
