The Most Delectable Diners in Honolulu

Upscale Hawaii

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (368) • $$

"I hadn't been to Upscale in a long time, it's not usually on my list of go-to spots when I'm back in Hawaii, but I figured I'd give it a shot on my last trip back. Let's just say, this place has always had a bit of a vibe. You know the kind of sketch factor where you might see a random questionable homeless about. My advice is to grab your food and go. The outdoor tables aren't exactly appealing, but parking has never been an issue, so there's that!Pro Tip - call your order in way ahead of time or order online. They're not winning any speed records here, and they're very upfront about it. there's literally a sign at the window that says, "We are not fast food." They need their time. My garlic salmon and ahi katsu roll took a solid half-hour and they were not busy at all. So plan accordingly.Now, the food? Totally worth the wait. The portions are huge, like it could feed two people huge and everything is cooked to perfection. The garlic salmon is a personal favorite, especially because they load it up with whole garlic cloves. They also make asparagus here so well. I also tried the ahi katsu roll for the first time. Loved the texture but it's a bit on the dry side, the sauce it comes with? Absolute game changer. Super tasty overall.Sketchy vibes aside, the food here is a delicious win, just don't expect to be in and out quickly if you don't order ahead, and maybe steer clear of the outdoor seating unless you're feeling adventurous."

Times Coffee Shop - Kailua

★★★★☆ 3.7 (255) • $$

Just keep in mind, that if u decide to Order Side KimChee, FYI, they will Automatically put their "Kim Chee" in your Fried Rice, Automatically?!?!

But, "Sua" only works on the Weekends!!! She's So Super nice!!!"

Hannara Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (392) • $$

"Simple, satisfying, affordable diner food! The breakfast joints in Kapolei are all easily $20-$30 per plate for breakfast ($30 for walk up ordering?!?). If you're on vacation then one of those places will probably deliver the experience you want like knock your socks off unique dishes, and special pancakes with all the tropical sauces, etc.But for locals, I just don't want to pay an arm and a leg to get solid tasty food. Hannara is that dependable, tasty diner food where they have a huge menu, booths, and super friendly service. The food comes out super hot and cooked to however you like. For breakfast, their Banana pancakes were honestly better than many national chains. Best part is that everything was reasonably priced $12 for my hotcakes combo plate, same for burger and fries. Katsu plate is HUGE. So much good food coming out, can't wait to try more!"

Pancakes & Waffles BLD Waimalu

★★★★☆ 3.6 (849) • $$

"I went to the Waimalu Plaza location. It was a holiday so it wasn't too crowded. As the time became closer to the brunch hour the line became longer. There were four people in our party, celebrating a friend's birthday. Three people ordered the Loco Moco and the last ordered an ordinary breakfast, scrambled eggs with Spam. Then to "family style" they ordered the Pancake & Waffle set AND the Apple Caramel Pancakes. They were all so delicious. Every time I've had breakfast. I have not been disappointed."

Zippy's Makiki

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (871) • $$

"Love this zippy's. Clean, bigger dining area and waitress was superb. Korean Chicken chili combo - 5 stars - although prices are going up everywhere, I love their crispy and sweet korean chicken. Goes great with their famous chili.Service - our waitress was excellent. Lots of parking, and enter though the backside from the main road."

Zippy's Wahiawa

★★★☆☆ 3 (253) • $$

"Wife and I were on our way to the north shore from Waikiki and wanted a bite to eat. We found Zippy's in our search. We do try to make a point while on vacation to go to places that are not available locally, and Zippy's is one of those places. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. They were able to answer all the questions we had with the menu. The restaurant was clean, open and well lit. I need to use the restroom afterwards, I did however need to get a code for the locked bathroom door, so I'm assuming they have an issue with people trying to take advantage of the restroom. But the waitstaff gladly helped me out. The restroom was clean and taken care of, with the exception of the soap dispenser, it appears to have a dip issue, which.... They did try to remedy with some towels on the floor. So there was definitely attention to it. My mealI had the Korean fried chicken and eggs. Before I ordered I ask if it was "spicy" and it is anything but. Quite the contrary it was deliciously sweet. The chicken was tender and crunchy. I decided to upgrade to the fried rice (totally worth it). My eggs were cooked perfectly as well.Quite happy with my stop at Zippy's"

Shark's Den Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"A decent meal opinion located right at your hotel, also near the pool too! We ordered breakfast as we didn't want to get up and leave the hotel, find parking and even possibly pay for it too. So Shark's Den it was! I ordered our meal from an iPad by the front entrance as I wanted it to go. That was super quick, I was also greeted to see if I wanted to be seated, which was nice. The restaurant looks clean and new, decor was super cute, tables and chairs look sturdy as well. I ordered pancakes, two eggs with different meats & house fries, then two orange juices. Our meal came out in a timely manner and had great taste. If I ever come back to this hotel, I would eat here at Shark's Den again."

Zippy's Kailua

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (323) • $$

"I've passed by Zippy's Kailua a number of times but never had the chance to go to their dine-in restaurant until my girlfriend and I went on a Friday evening. Service is alright, but was still moderately slow despite the fact it was not very crowded at the time of our visit. Anyways, Zippy's has some wonderful menu items and food! There is usually plenty of parking available but can fill up quickly during peak periods."

Zippy's Koko Marina

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (464) • $$

"Revisiting the east side of the island with my friend, I decided to eat at Zippy's at the koko marina center. Sadly, the dining area is closed as well as the bathrooms at Zippy's. There is a bathroom, but it is at the building on the left side of zippy's on the second floor of the building, next to the florist.Food was the same as other zippy's, fresh and fried chicken was crunchy. Even though it was outside, we could eat our lunch in peace having it next to the pier with a scenic serene view of the ocean.Service was fast, but tables were a bit dirty, and a table also didn't have a tabletop, and at least there weren't bird turd since there is a sign posted "don't feed the birds," but there was a dove that was persistent in hanging near our table even if we tried shooing it away."

Big City Diner - Kailua

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (445) • $$

"Typical American diner environment.It was quie in the morning besides the elderly singles/families having their coffee/breakfast.I had 2x of the Kalbi Lunch Plates & 1x of the short stack pancakes. Total was roughly $66.Kailua town has the worst pricing due to the influx of tourists & inflation. These days it's comparable to Waikiki prices.Good: food was yummyMain hostess was nice.Food was quick 10-15minsBad: -small portions$26 for a kalbi lunch plate that came with small kimchee side, a dollop of cabbage and 2pcs kalbi and 1 scoop rice each plate.-lack of convenience/// please consider having your team ask for a customer's name & write it on their bag if its just left on the takeout table-idk her name but the 2nd girl working was obviously only helping me to grab my order when she was checking my receipt, she made sure to check for a tip (girl bffr,on a takeout order of 3 plates, with 2 being entrees) LOLs-the slowness effect of morning time visitors especially catering to elderly customers who want to talk story with each employee Note: I don't know why the BCD owners (if they're connected or not, I don't really know) didn't try harder to keep BCD Kaimuki open- because that location's cooks could really COOK. Even when it was busy and the wait time was little bit longer, it definitely left you feeling like it was worth the drive/wait for the food.They did charge $1 extra compared to Kailua location, but the portions were so worth the extra $1."

Zippy's Kapolei

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (738) • $$

"I Love Zippy's!Always a must go for me when i visit the islands. Korean Fried Chicken for me please. Clean, fast, Aloha. Do i need to say more? Open at 6am, got there at 6:05, already 10+ people there."

Kapiolani Coffee Shop

★★★★☆ 3.6 (446) • $$

"This place was ok. I was at Pearlridge and was hungry. I found this place in my bookmarks. It was pretty much across from the mall. They are popular for their "famous oxtail soup" and I love oxtail soup. It came with a side of rice and some dipping sauce. To be honest the oxtail could have been trimmed properly (quite fatty) and cooked more (didn't really fall off the bone). The soup was nice and the dipping sauce was good. There is a good size parking lot and the service was nice and friendly. It's not an overly big place so I can see it getting full quickly during peak hours. It's got like a diner type vibe...."

Rock Island Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (309) • $$

"We live in the area and often stop in for a quick bite or just getting some ice cream. It is a small business and if you're not watching, you could miss it. Make sure to look for it. Easy way to spot it is look for the Elvis Presley statueout front. Unfortunately, somebody bought the Marilyn Monroe one, but Betty Boop has taken her place. The ice cream sundaes and bananas splits are the best. Check out the memorabilia and enjoy the atmosphere."

Zippy's Kaimuki

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (177) • $$

"Lunch in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii...My friend, Marlina from New Jersey, remembered going to Zippy's when she attended the University of Hawaii with me back in the day. I knew she wanted to go to any Zippy's location, and this one (on the corner of Waialae Avenue and 7th Avenue) was convenient.The only downsides were that: 1. it has outside dining only (not pleasant for people from the mainland because of our humidity, even in January) and 2. a sketchy individual was hanging around, took a nap at one of the tables, and went in the restroom. He knew the code! After seeing that, we went to Kahala Mall for their restroom. Marlina enjoyed her Saimin, and I got my standard chili (with beans), brown rice, cheese, and onions.We sat under one of the fans for maximum cool temperature. We were grateful for the free parking, efficient, friendly service, and happy food memories..."

Jane's Fountain

★★★★☆ 4.1 (291) • $$

"If you want to go to a restaurant that feels like it makes up the backbone of food culture in Hawaii come here. Take a seat and get thrown back in time, where regulars know each other and you can smell and taste history. If I ever want to show someone what it feels like to live here, grow up here, and have my heart reside in these islands, this is one of the best places I could take them."

Waipahu Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (306) • $$

"I had the Kim Chee fried rice and was not disappointed w the price nor the portion. We also ordered a side of meat Jhun to try and it was flavorful (there was a bit of sweetness in it and it was welcomed and good). There were a lot of regulars coming in and out of there. Service is friendly and quick. It has an older style diner feel to it and I enjoyed it."

Zippy's Waipio

★★★☆☆ 3 (383) • $$

"Shout out to the team that worked the Halloween night shift. It was around 830 pm we placed our phone order and when we got there it was totally packed. Long line but a majority was waiting for orders up. As the time passed by for the next 5-10 minutes the team that worked the front pick up area was on a roll, plates and drinks were being completed and called out. No one was fussing or frazzled. It was awesome watching each of them hustle plus the back of the house. It was pretty cool. Our order was called and had no problem with our order and we were ready to head home and enjoy the Las Vegas Plate, mini Korean chicken and mini spaghetti with garlic bread. Great job to you guys! Mahalo Zippys Waipio!"

Aloha Pantry and Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.5 (30) • $$

"I really like this place. I am not sure if the one person working is the owner but shes super nice! Have you ever been to your friends house and their grandma made you food to eat? I like to think this is like my friends grandma, the food feels home made and the prices are reasonable too. 4 hand rolls (unagi, philly, spicy ahi, and california - total $12, minimum credit card charge $10)I like that she gives me a disposable glove to eat with so I don't have to get my hand dirty.Is the food Yanagi or Katsumidori grade? No, but I dig it."

Zippy's Pearl City

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (457) • $$

"Pleasantly surprised by this Zippy's! I've never been here although I've driven by hundreds of times over the years. My friend was hungry after registering her car at the Safeway kiosk (who knew you could do that) so off to her choice of eatery....Zippy's! Parking is tight and my sedan is not a compact and a lot of bigger vehicles were taking one& a half spaces. I was able to get a stall under the building and we took the elevator up to the dining room. Seated immediately by a young, politely engaging and very tall man who gave us menus including the Sushi Bar menu advising it wasn't available for another 15 minutes but just in case we wanted to order he left us to peruse and choose what we wanted while he got our drinks.He returned with our drinks and we placed our orders which were promptly delivered still hot and steaming. Remarkably he returned several times to check on us. If you've ever been to Zippy's you know why I found the remarkable. My experience has always been once the wait staff drops your food you don't see them until you flag someone down to bring a check. Food was typical Zippy's fare but the service elevated the experience to 4 stars. Nicholas, his name was Nicholas hi just found my receipt!)"

Prince Kuhio Tours

★★★★☆ 3.9 (245) • $$$$

"The boat itself was much smaller than we were expecting. The staff was very nice! The food was amazing! I do wish there was a/c or a fan at the least in the indoor seating area as it was very hot/humid and stuffy in there. I don't normally get motion sickness but unfortunately I got sick while on the boat a little after dinner but I was able to gather myself just in time to watch the fireworks show! It was such a beautiful view to see the fireworks and city view. I would go on this boat ride again, but will definitely be more prepared with the motion sickness part."

Zippy's Nimitz

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (406) • $$

"Newly Remodeled looking - or the first time I seen it like this. I used to come here back in the days but mostly would eat outside on my commute to work from Makaha to Downtown - So out of character to eat by myself for lunch but I was so hungry and had back to back meetings and it's a Friday so I treated myself to a zipmin, double garnish and fried chicken.the lady was friendly and attentive. haven't eaten inside in a while so noticed a different menu - it was a two sided menu that was longer than the previous menu but less bulky lol more simplified. Wish they had club sandwich to go though. with tip it did cost me a little over $30! which I guess is the going rate and I was veryyy full! it was nice and cleanI like that you can pay via qr code on the table - I did forget to add my zipster rewards - not sure how to let the server know?! anyways - will be back again!"

Zippy's Kalihi

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (191) • $$

"First stop straight from the airport. Nothing like good old Zippy's to satiate you after a long travel day. This specific one is in Kalihi - away from the hustle & bustle of the more touristy locations. They do not have the dine in restaurant side, but you can order from the counter and sit wherever you please. Small bakery selection of cakes & donuts as well. Korean fried chicken is my favorite here. The plate comes with chicken, mac salad, & rice - option to get a mini size too. Their chili fries, loco moco, musubi, & saimin are delicious. The best bang for your buck are the mixed plates - all the favorites in one plate for $16, easily shared between two. Huge menu, it's difficult to narrow it down especially when you want to try it all. Check out their daily specials for some deals. We love the food here. Excellent customer service. Affordable & delicious meals. ...but why is the oxtail soup $30 for an order? Wanted to try but that's quite expensive for a diner entree, maybe next time."

Zippy's Mililani

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (500) • $$

"Decent dinner and great desserts! They do an okay job with all the local favorites, like chili, teri beef sandwich, and won ton mein. It's good and satisfies the craving, but not some place to go out of your way for. Service in the dining room is always friendly, so we enjoy that aspect.Where this place shines is the desserts. My favorite is the dobash cake that is decadently rich while being moist and airy, I could eat almost half the smaller cake if no one was watching. Rainbow cake is also good, and all their pastries are worth trying."

Zippy's Kapahulu

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (635) • $$

"Food was great, but no service at all - the lady who took our order clearly didn't want to be there. And... $4 for a soda but no refill? I'd go back for the food though. Fried chicken and chili... yum!"

Zippy's Dillingham

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (297) • $$

"Next Stop...riding the Skyline!For a limited time Zippy's was giving free limited edition HOLO Card with purchase of their Skyline Pac to celebrate the start of our city's Skyline though these were offered only at four location which Dillingham was one.Thinking I had the date wrong as there was no signage I asked if they had it and was told yes by the staff whew! I did arrive early to be sure and to avoid traffic which worked out perfectly. The Skyline Pac has half a piece of hotdog, four pieces of Portuguese sausage and Korean fried chicken all on a huge bed of rice all my favorites in one and it was so yummy!!Dillingham location is so convenient as it's accessible from many backroads even with the all the Skyline construction and with lots of parking not a problem to show them some love. Lots of seating and the open air vibe makes it a cool place to chill and enjoy. Thank you!"

Big City Diner - Waipio Gentry

★★★★☆ 3.5 (572) • $$

"I have eaten at big city diner multiple times but it was my first time eating at this location. When I have been to big city, I typically go to the one in town and haven't been to big city in years.I remember the portions being a lot larger in size in the past. I ordered the loco moco with fried rice. It was a decent portion size with good flavor. We also got wings with the bbq sauce and a burger for my nephews. Service was decent but prices have definitely increased since I last ate at big city."

Zippy's McCully

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (546) • $$

"This is like the fast food Denny's of Hawaii. I absolutely love this place. It was so cute. It was a quick spot to get moco loco, when I go back to visit, this will definitely be on my regular rotation to stop in. It was a fun cool quick place to get a cheap meal for the whole family. We all got very full at the food was great. Customer service was great."

Zippy's Kaneohe

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (460) • $$

"Don't know why there is hate on this place, went there many times, service was top notch, no wait times, the place was clean, bathrooms clean the workers were super nice. The food came out with better presentation than I expected. I had the large wuntun min, and we had veggie chilli and a pancake. It was all good and we ate every last bite.Definitely would come again. To finish it off we had a mochi donut and 2 glazed donuts. Tastes great!! and very affordable"

Oh My Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (315) • $$

"Oh my grill. Mccully shopping center location. Just reopened. Located near Curry house and 711 on first floor. There are additional parking in basement. Parking can be challenging on first floor. Ordered:Chicken katsu plate special, $9.99(Includes rice and macaroni salad)Garlic fish plate, $14.95(Includes rice and macaroni salad)Fish and chips, $11.95(2 pieces fried fish, good)(Fries were overcooked, dry)Prices are good, portion are big.If you pay cash you save 3%, also there is a stamp card for cash paying. One stamp for each $10 cash purchase. Mccully location is having their grand opening soon. Highly recommend."

Kaimana Farm Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (496) • $$

"Breakfast in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii...Many people drive past Kaimana Farm Cafe, but have they ever dined there?Maybe the parking is an obstacle...Just go down the street and find the free parking lot by Waiola Shave Ice on Mokihana Street!This farm-to-table restaurant has a comfortable, casual, country feel with an Asian flair.Service was very pleasant and polite. We had a wonderful experience!I got the Hamburg plate which comes with 5 sides. I picked yuzu carrots, beets + orange, kale salad, rainbow hajiji, and Molokai sweet potato. Everything was tasty and creative!We also got an iced matcha Latte... it was refreshing and not too bitter! It felt healthy and looked picture-worthy!I'd go back again!Note: restroom is outside... ask for the key!"

Zippy's Kahala

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (559) • $$

"The current special was shared in Facebook. Shrimp tempura with furikake salmon for $17.95. It was quite good! Too much for me to finish so I brought some salmon home. Tempura was light and crispy but by the end it got kind of oily. It was still pretty good all in all. The young server Reese was great! He had to bus the table, take order, serve, refill water and tea, all by himself.... And he was very pleasant! I recommend it!"

Goofy Cafe & Dine

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"WOW. UNBELIEVABLE!I saw the loco moco on a YouTube review, as darkest gravy. It was wonderful. Great flavor! See pic. The patties were char grilled & tender. Unbelievable flavor. Among the best things I've ever eaten. I did the scrambled egg on top, poured a little Tabasco. It all merges together in the best way. Brown rice. Boy it was the best loco! $21 GET THERE. breakfast had a little wait list, we went at 11:20 and seated right away. Nice little surf shack by Hawaiian village. 5 stars thank u!"

Zippy's Ewa

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (589) • $$

"Happy National Chili Day...Yup that's today along with National Strawberry Day and a special recognition for me as well with meeting up with a friend for lunch made it kinda special day and as I drove around like a mission needed to be done I decided to stop at Zippy's and this Ewa location does have a special place in my heart.With a much needed break this I stopped here since they do have lots of free parking and super easy access from either direction you're coming from and the vibe here is relaxing as the dining room is nice and clean, the service here is just so friendly as I jumped to order my regular chili on white rice and it was beanless for me (they have vegetarian as well) and the special was 25% which is huge and who could you some savings...me!You can enjoy their famous chili in so many other ways as mine is on top of spaghetti, but there are Chili Hot Dog, Chili Burger, or just a Chili Plate whatever your cravings they can do it and am so happy to have the lucky timing to enjoy this famous chili on their special day.Thank you!"

Big City Diner

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (281) • $$

"Excellent customer service! We were asked to check in at the front of the restaurant when we arrived, and were brought to our table shortly after. Breakfast ended at 10:30am but since we arrived at 10:33am, we were given the breakfast and brunch menu. I ordered the two eggs breakfast with a hamburger patty as my meat, and I substituted the rice for a roasted macadamia nut pancake. Since the pancake was a specialty pancake, there was a slight up charge for it. My husband ended up getting the Teri hamburger steak plate that came with fried rice and vegetables. When the plates came out, my food was done perfectly, but my husband's hamburger was not cooked to his liking. Our waiter immediately apologized and took his plate back to the kitchen to be fixed. We waited for a while and his plate came back newly made and cooked perfectly! My pancake was absolutely delicious, and I would definitely come back for it. The rest of the food was okay, still delicious but not as good as the pancake. We'll definitely be back to try other menu items."
