    Man, there are so many places I miss in addition to Likelike Drive Inn.. King's Bakery kinda by King & McCully, Bea's Drive-In by Kaimuki HS, Byron's by the airport, Dot's in Wahiawa, Jolly Roger's, Shakey's Pizza, Wisteria, Flamingo's, Colombia Inn, Bob's Big Boy... the list is endless.
    That L&L order... "Chicken katsu, french fries instead of rice, gravy all over" used to be my go to order at Grace's. Back when I was young and could eat all of that without gaining weight. lol.

    I'm in Hilo right now. Kens pancake house oxtail stew and tripe stew are ono ono💯🤙😎
    Oahu hawaiian restaurants should take notes on tripe stew from Ken's Pancake house in Hilo and Don Quiote's on Oahu. That's how tripe stew should be. Plus, for the price of Ken's pancake house oxtail stew which was 26 dollars, you get monster pieces of oxtail. Id say 6 pieces. Not small tail ends like from zippys, kapiolani coffee shop etc. Just my honest opinion 💯🤙😎

    Super nostalgic old-school comfort food I grew up with at all the original locations, except I’ve only been to the Kaka’ako Highway Inn and never been to Leeward Drive In (too far from town). You hit all of my favorite spots and most of my favorite orders, so everything was so familiar and looked so ‘ono, but you showed and described each item really clearly and “appetizingly” for people who did not grow up eating this food as we did. Great job! I think I’ll go up the street to St. Louis Drive In for lunch today and get a Super Japanese Deluxe Plate (Japanese Deluxe Plate with scallops)!

They recently opened a Zippy's in Las Vegas, and I'm hoping to visit it on my next business trip. I'm glad to see more local Hawaii joints branching out to the mainland. Oh, and I must see if L&L can do that Katsu magic here in the LA area!

    Thank you for covering all those places - especially L&L drive-in. I (Scott) grew up in the two story apartment right behind L&L (dairy) in the 60s. Haven’t stopped by the place since (even though my brother still lives on the next block). Thinking of visiting Liliha Bakery next time I go back to Oahu (haven’t eaten there since the 60s though have gotten there coco puffs from the bakery side a few years ago). I was even an assistant manager at Zippy’s in the 80s but only worked at the McCully store while I was a trainee. Thanks for all the good memories! 😊😊😊

    Grew up eating poi by itself - never mixing it with anything else and always clean that bowl and storage container. I’ll eat day old poi but prefer fresh.
    Oxtail soup - my go to is Neimann Marcus (believe it or not) on Thursday. We recently tried Super Pho’s oxtail soup and was impressed!
    Hands down!!! I tried the other Liliha Bakery locations and somehow, the flavor from the grill at the original location makes the food soooo ONO! I find it always entertaining to sit at the corner and watch the cooks manning the grill.
    Rainbow’s - boneless chicken, Mahi mahi or beef cutlet are my go to.
    St. Louis Drive Inn…YUM! I don’t think there’s anything on their menu that’s not good.
    Leeward Drive Inn…their fried saimin is winners! I miss The Heights in Aiea - their fried saimin was the BOMB!!!

    Aloha, Amanda, Felix & Davonn: What a highlight & plethora of locations & food! I have been to all of these locations and have eaten the food recommendations. But that burger, OMG at Liliha Bakery...I had it, bomb! Nothing like a Char broiled burger. Not many places do Charbroiled burgers anymore, but I do know of another place that serves ono charbroiled burgers, but it's not locally owned. What was also funny was that piece of chicken at Leeward drive in, so huge...then you show the chicken at Zippy's so tiny. I often eat the Loco Moco at Kapiolani Coffee shop since it comes with mac salad & I order it with Fried Rice vs white rice. One of the Sunday's specials are the Sweet-sour spareribs. So good! Thanks for sharing & have a super day...

    once I read the two words "original location," I'm immediately watching it: it has a unique aura, long-time (residential) customers that have been going to a place for decades/generations and a certain ambience that can't be duplicated at a different area; "hanabada days/shmall kid time" nostalgia is one heck / he(double hockey sticks) of a drug. I remembah Kapiolani Coffee Shop while playing bowling (in high school) at Kam Bowl; before it moved to City Square Shopping Center and then, to Waimalu Shopping Center (in Aiea). You can't go wrong with (Pinoy kine) Lechon (unlike the stateside brand, Baken-Et's "fried pork skins" Chicharonnes)... Liliha Bakery's "old school" diner area (I had breakfast there once) and their famous Coco Puffs are so Ono.. Ohh, I love it ! Like-Like Drive Inn (next to Tespresso Cafe) was replaced by YogurStory (which used to be in the International Center, with Sorabol (which moved to the old Pagoda restaurant/hotel location). I tried Like-Like Drive Inn (once). The Like-Like crowd vibes were various: large families, kids or middle-aged couples. In Kalihi, there is an actual drive-in restaurant, like Starbucks (in Kaneohe (Bay Shopping Center) or Waipahu (by Seafood City Supermarket & Long's Drugs (now "CVS Pharmacy"): Richie's. I liked Leeward Drive-In, in Waipahu. I haven't been to Forty Niners (the original Aiea location), Wai'oli Tea Room (now Waiʻoli Kitchen and Bake Shop), but I went to small Natsunoya Tea House (Alewa Heights, in the Kalihi area; next to a Hawai'ian graveyard). I remember seeing a King's Bakery; Kamehameha Bakery is cool (City Square Shopping Center; it used to be on North School St. in a two story brick building; there was a hole in the middle; where you could drive a car through; there was also a Chinese restaurant. Now, there is a Rainbow Drive Inn, across from Union 76 gas station). Did you folks remember any of these places, before they got shut down: Ideta's (on Kokea Street, which was next to a bowling alley or a church/now, it a used car lot and a Zippy's (Kapalama Shopping Center); Fritz's European Bakery (it was behind Kapalama Shopping Center); a WingStop fast-food joint had moved in). Kelly's Drive Inn (a bar, restaurant and bakery = now, it's a Harley Davidson/Cycle City; a Wendy's location), (airport side): Byron's Drive Inn (& Chowder House (Ward Warehouse), Chan's Gourmet Buffet (313 North Nimitz Hwy); Gussie L'Amours (nightclub/bar: mud wrestling, rock bands and beers); Hungry Lion restaurant (in the Nuuanu Shopping Center (it is now a Starbucks); Patti's Chinese Chicken, Huckleberry Farms, TCBY Yogurt; the old "Chun Hoon" (Chun Afong) market area); Mama's Mexican Kitchen (on North School Street); Bob's Big Boy (in Mapunapuna; when 99 Ranch Market, Hopaco (office stationary store), Henry Loui's (on Paa St.), Jumbo's & Gibson Shopping Center (Servco Mapunapuna) was there; later, Bob's Big Boy was called Bob's Big Bear (a former Sizzler's location on Dillingham Blvd., close to Boulevard/Dillingham Saimin). (Checker's and Pogo had a TV show filmed at Gibson's Shopping Center with a "Sky Slide" (back in the 1970's); Boulevard/Dillingham Saimin, Waikamilo Drive Inn (it was across from Boulevard Saimin), Wisteria (it is now a 7-11 convenience store on Piikoi St./McCully), Flamingo's Chuckwagon: across from (Neal) Blaisdell Center/"H.I.C." (Hawaii Int'l Center - during my father's days; not Hawaiian Island Creations, one surf/outddors sports store); or Flamingo Kapiolani (cocktails): Budnamujip; now, Million #2 restaurant by a Jack In A Box branch); the Willows (Moiliili; it was on Hausten St.), Yum Yum Tree (Westridge Shopping Center or in town), Monterey Bay Canners, Shakey's Pizza (I went there twice; the Waipahu location; it used to be on Keeaumoku Street ?); Jolly Roger's (in Kalihi = O'Reilly's Auto Parts shop); Kenny's Restaurant/Deli Okazuya ("Kam Bowl" now); Kam Bowl (now a Walgreen's branch; they do have a Kam Bowl "bowling pin" plaque hanging there); Kalihi Bowl too. Other bowling places: Leeward Bowl (there is a bar in there); Aiea Bowl (across the street; there is a Shell gas station and Aiea Medical Building restaurant called Heights Drive Inn (which later closed): In my middle school years, I went there to eat lunch after seeing a dentist above); Pali Lanes (in Kailua: it closed); in the McCully area: Bowl-O-Drome (820 Isenberg Street; it had shut down), it was across from a Chinese restaurant, a First Hawaiian Bank (Moiliili / University) location and a baseball stadium (not the Old (Honolulu) Stadium Park, aka "termite palace." Didn't knew that there was a bowling center in the Fort Shafter area... Did you guys go to "W&M Burger" in Kaimuki area (Waialae Ave.) yet ?; the small mom and pop place, close by a: City Mill, Boston's Pizza Bakery or a Larry's Auto Parts ?; if not, Magoo's Pizza Waikiki (1006 Kapahulu Ave.), Eagle Cafe (Nimitz Business Center), Smith's Union Bar (in Chinatown/WWII 'Pearl Harbor' era) or Anna Miller's (nearby a (Sumida) watercress farm, by Pearlridge (Shopping) Mall/Center ?

    I miss Like Like drive inn. After a 3 hr set on stage at Mai Tai's, this was one of our late night spots long with The Hungry Lion. Also, back in High school, my buddy and I would hit up Shiro's Saimin next to Kapiolani Coffee Shop. Then we'd head off to Ice Garden in Aiea. You guys should definitely try it out.

    What a great idea to swap the rice with fries at L and L for comfort food. Will try that on a rainy day. Thank you for sharing your experiences. My boyfriend and I use you for inspiration when we go on car rides around Oahu.

    Here's an interesting fact. Of the old school establishments you featured, four were started by Okinawans.
    Sorry Felix, I'm team gravy all ovah. I used to be a ketchup and Tabasco on eggs before sriracha came around.
    Funny that you guys mentioned McDonald's while talking about soggy fries. Before the the McDonald's opened on the corner of Palolo and Waialae, a little burger takeout place was located in the prior building. It was run by the Trusdale (not sure if that's the correct spelling) family. Anyway, they had really good soggy fries. But then again, I was a little kid way back then.

    Have to agree with you about St Louis Drive In. Had the regular Japanese plate. Chicken not as good and our Teri beef was dry. Sashimi was still fresh. 😂 But all the other stops you made were awesome. Love them all! Gotta try that tartar sauce at Leeward Drive In next time we go.

      Update: Went to Leeward Drive to check out this tartar sauce....not for the fries but because it looked very similar to my favorite tartar sauce from a restaurant called Beacon's that used to be across from Pearlridge. I think it is a Karaoke bar now. 😢😢It looked just like the one they served with their shrimp tempura and Teri beef steak meal that we always ordered. It was very close to it, tasted a little different, but pretty good. Going to fry up some shrimp tonight and try and see how it goes! How was London/Great Britain? I can't wait for the videos.

    The mixed plate, or should I say platter/serving tray, looks so ono at Highway Inn. I think I could eat the entire serving myself. You guys are so lucky you live Hawaii. Never ever dip foods into the poi. The poi is eaten separately. That’s probably because in most Hawaiian hale, there’s just one big bowl in the middle of the table and everyone ate from that bowl. My tutu would be scolding you. 🤙🏼😋😂🤙🏼😋😂

    Thanks, guys. I was there starting in '69 on the Big Island, and on Oahu several times in the early '80s but haven't been back since. Reminds me of back in the day, but does no diner or other place have Harmha? Or has that kind of fallen out of favor? One of the first things I ever ate in Hilo, and despite what it did to my stomach, I loved it, and went back a few times for a taste. I know I need to get back there (and then on to Thailand and the rest of Asia, but I also know I need to start my partner on some ohana food. Hopefully, soon. You kids rock, and I'm happy to see you representing the real.
