    I’m from Oahu and currently live in NY. I miss Hawaiii and my favorite comfort foods there. Sure, there’s Hawaiian cuisine here but it don’t match up to Hawaii. Poke, katsu, miso butterfish, Japanese, filipino, Hawaiian, Chinese and Korean cuisine is just bomb!!! U can’t beat the freshness and big portions anywhere. Along with the weather and chill atmosphere. Hawaii cuisine is just bomb!!!!
    Your video informs me of new or old places to try when I come to visit. Kalihi has great eateries which is one of my favorite areas. Actually, any area of Oahu has ono grinds.

    My Husband has tried 2/10 places here in Honolulu Hawaii right now you recommended. My husband absolutely loved the Fresh catch (it's a little spicy but good) and we also tried Kjs fried chicken and he said it was very flavorful. So far your recommendations are very very spot on and honestly you should be a tour guide here! We give your ratings a 10/10! Love love love!
