Wow Misty!! So much good food! I don't know where to start but I think you saves the best for last because that Lau Lau looks huge and delicious! And I'm def stopping by Ray's to get that Pork Cutlet and tne Garden Isle looks like a Chinese place local style with their big portions. Mahalo for showing all these good foods for a good price!! I like the new Thumbnails too, hoping to see some drone shots in 2024🤙✈️
Yes all plates were ono! Thanks for the compliment on the thumbnails. The old program I used annoyed me so I just gave in a bought Photoshop 🤣 I'll try to do more drone shots but I'm so lazy I don't even charge mine! I really wanted to take it with me this summer but where I'm going they won't let you on with a drone ☹️
Hi! Misty, I just love your videos and how precise and clear that you present all the wonderful food offerings. I'm born and raised in Hawaii 63 years old. Keep up the good work 🤙
Aloha Misty: This vlog really got to me on this nice, cool winter morning, 45 F, when I need a nice Hawaiian plate lunch to warm-me-up, nutritionally and in-mind - LOL! I am looking forward to a trip to Waipahu for the food, and to visit the neighborhood again - miss the old time feeling when the sugar mill was operating and when Arakawas, where I got my hibachis, was still in business. I look forward to your next vlog of the great culinary finds of our home island soon. Best wishes to you, and the ohana! Have a happy, and “yummy” holiday! Much 🧧 and 🤙, fellow 🐯!
Yes that old time feeling is surely disappearing. Nothing is really the same anymore and even the outer islands are losing old time places. Did you know Manago Hotel is closing soon? Have a wonderful week ahead and stay warm! 😊 🤙
Thank you for this video, it made me want to go to those places.😊❤️ I have been here in Hawaii for more than a year and have not visited those places and because of your video, it made me want to go there.😊
Yay! You're welcome! And if you call it in and go around 130-2pm usually there's parking by the meters a short walk away. I just put a nickel in and pick up my food quickly.
Actually every time I go get parking. Just got to walk a very short ways. I park by the old Salvation Army near Zippys near the meters around 2pm and always empty.
Aw man 🤦♀️. Catching up on your vids after a hectic friday and only had time for a pathetic looking banana early in the morning. I need ALL this gravy laden cholesterol/carb packed cheap eats, chowing down while sitting in front of my computer and simultaneously watching my favorite youtube channel. Too tired to drive anywhere so i will just satiate my needs with this footage and try another day🤤. I'm dyin' ovah hea ☠️🤌😅!
Aloha Food Fiend Misty I love your videos, I like how your breakdown each area of what your featuring. Although you don't like Mac salad and carrots or sweet things, I do but know what you mean. I always watch your informative and all the places I like try. Because I am from Kauai , I like to watch and plan my food adventure . Mahalo for what you do appreciative and grateful.
Aloha Kalei! Thank you for watching my channel and I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope one day you come back and get to grind on Oahu and vice versa for me. Have a wonderful day!🤙
Mmmmmm chicken katsu so good. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Pork cutlet with gravy. Oh my goodness everything looked fantastic, but I gotta find something like that NOW!!!! Super Vlog Misty👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Misty I have to say you along with Sean, Charles, Michelle and Jose keep it real with the ono grindz. Whereas some of your other peers tend to provide false reviews mainly due to the restaurants comping them. Keep it up Misty!
Mahalo Paul! I'm not sure what the story with comping is but that's none of my business. I am blessed with a great day job and with YT I can afford to pay for the meals and hopefully help these restaurants. Anyway we can claim the meals on taxes with the receipts so no need for comping for me. Thanks for your comment! I try my best to keep it real. 🤙
Yup, I was thinking when Chimere would be raising prices at Scoopers... they cannot survive with that low a cost on their plates. Love their toss salad with her homemade dressings (I like her French). The laulau they make is healthy but they don;t put any butterfish... it is all pork.
According to several close friends/relatives in the food industry, price of butterfish aka lingcod/sablefish is cost-prohibitive. No feasible profit margin
Oh Misty...how did I miss this video! I always wonder how these places make ono tasting gravy. A mini with one scoop rice is enough for us . I love all your plate lunch choices.
Wish I saw this earlier! I went to Shiro's for the laulau plate. Looks almost the same except just kalua pork, not with cabbage. Portions look the same, too. BUT.....theirs is $17.95, and no brownie, haupia, or drink! Next time!
:) WOW and OMG! LOVED IT! ans my choice would be Rays Pork Cutlet for at least 2 meals! I know I am watching this later, BUT your bargain eats are REALLY GREAT! Hard to find in PNWEst / Seattle area, all too expensive about $15 now :( Subscribed for more of your GREAT Shares! ALL the BEST and Cheers! ENJOY for me and hope to get to visit again :)
Do like me a good hawaii plate lunch I'm going to miss it, I've decided mt trip to Hawaii back last month was my last time.I now plan to buy a motorhome in the next 3-4 years and life off grid. Hope you are well Misty.
I understand. Once you've been here a couple of times I think it gets boring. You should definitely do the outer islands though one day. My dream is to buy an RV (silly American name for motor home) and travel the country. Especially National Parks. Hope you're doing well and your future plans are exciting!
This channel is an invaluable resource for finding good places like these, especially for us mainland folks who visit family there. Thank you!
I'm glad you find it helpful Keith. Mahalo for watching. 🤙

Love your videos--especially the ones on plate lunches. They look so good. Wish we had the variety you have in Hawaii!
Thank you Lauren! 🙏

Proud to say I've been to almost all of these places because of you and others like Authentically Charles 👋🏻. Thanks for the Ray's Cafe pro tip!
Yay! You're welcome! And if you call it in and go around 130-2pm usually there's parking by the meters a short walk away. I just put a nickel in and pick up my food quickly.
@FoodFiend Awesome tip! Usually drop my sister off to get food and I drive around the block!
Great video. Ray's Cafe is an all time classic.
If wasn’t for the parking I think it would have more business and I would go hehehe went when he was on smith street early morning was ono!
For sure!
Actually every time I go get parking. Just got to walk a very short ways. I park by the old Salvation Army near Zippys near the meters around 2pm and always empty.
@@FoodFiend I want to be like all the government vehicles and large companies vehicles that just park out front 😂

I would love a part 2! Great video as always. ❤

Omgee! I would always stop there on my way to pickup my niece from Kam school…the Best Chicken Katsu I ever had!
Awesome! I agree! 🤙
The food looks delicious!
Yes sah!
I love your videos I love going out for plate lunches for my husband and I but a lot of places are so expensive. Thank you
Thank you for watching Lori! I appreciate it. It is expensive to eat out and I try to mix it up with expensive treats to cheap eats.
Thanks Misty!
You're welcome!

Thank you TE! If you can get a hold of panko crumbs it's quite easy to make at home!
I’m really enjoying your videos. I like all of the details.
Thank you!
Wow! So jealous! Looks so good and cheap. Just went to the Zippy's here in Vegas, cost me $100 for 3 people 😢
OMG! That's so expensive!
Go down south check out Straight Up Cafe, South Las Vegas
Love your videos, try Iges chicken katsu, more meat than badder👍
Ty Misty

I just pau(finish) grinding and now I’m hungry again! Thanks Misty! 😂😂😂 Keep up the great work! ❤
🤣 it's a sign to go get those black eyed peas from Ray's.

Howzit Braddah Dennis! Mahalo for your kind comment. Have a great weekend! 🤙

Thanks for the 411 sistah. I'll go to the places to grind
Awesome! 🤙
Yo Misty, Wuttup!!!! I sent you some Switzerland pics. I hope you enjoy
Hi Mike! I'll take a look at them! Thanks for sharing your travels with me.

According to several close friends/relatives in the food industry, price of butterfish aka lingcod/sablefish is cost-prohibitive. No feasible profit margin
Surprisingly there was a small piece of butterfish in mine. Even if there wasn't I wouldn't complain due to her prices.
wow hard to find good pork cutlet...thanks
No problem! This week they had it 3 times on the board.
Pork cutlets?😊
You had me at the first stop.😋😋
Can't ever go wrong with crispy chicken 🤤 Hope you're having fun in Asia. 🤙
Oh Misty...how did I miss this video! I always wonder how these places make ono tasting gravy. A mini with one scoop rice is enough for us . I love all your plate lunch choices.
Yes a mini plate is perfect for my stomach! I'm so happy when restaurants offer that option.
great video i like scoopers but always too late they sell out
Yeah that's the bummer part of it but also great for them. Seems like they're doing very well.
Wish I saw this earlier! I went to Shiro's for the laulau plate. Looks almost the same except just kalua pork, not with cabbage. Portions look the same, too. BUT.....theirs is $17.95, and no brownie, haupia, or drink! Next time!
Aiya! That's so expensive. ☹️ Now you know where to go. Wvery Fridays she has this. 🤙
Try 10second yunnan noodle soup pearlridge near rosses
Real tasty like 6 soups in one bowl. Nobody does this anywhere I’ve been
Thanks for the suggestion.
Love it mahalo plenty💯💪🤙🤙🤙❤
Thank you! 🤙✌️
Awesome videos. Mahalo!

I love oh my grill chicken katsu, big portion for the special combo
That's another great, inexpensive option. I filmed OMG when they opened in Pearl Kai a long time ago. 🤙
Ok theres a few on here i haven't tried yet. That katsu plate was a nice size
I never went to Kalihi when I lived there. My loss.
It's ok. It has its reputation and not the best place to be around due to the crime, but has the best food spots on the island.
I'm hungry now. 😮
Oh no! I hope you are doing well Carol!
@FoodFiend yes, just hungry for takeout that I haven't had in ages 😋
NOt that cheap. Same same like everywhere. expensive!!
That's as cheap as you're going to get in Hawaii. The rest are $15+ plate lunches. Good luck.
