"Nicky's is still as good and she's still as friendly!! My go-to's are the garlic chicken plate with noodles/fried rice and mac salad and the roast turkey plate. And my kids love the spam musubi. But you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Line is usually long but moves quickly! Plus, at least you can stand in the shade while in line."
"Only open on Wednesdays from 9:30am to 5:30pm! This is a must try when in Oahu and worth the wait if there's a line!! Must eat fresh! It's like an old fashion cinnamon, doughy, fresh out the fryer, and delicious"
"happened upon this little spot on a drunken night in Waikiki across the st from Kelley O'Briens bar at like 3 am. Met one of the owners, Tanya is his wife and they are from East coast (cuz had a Baltimore accent from the heavens)! Lots of heart, and lots of patience for the drunk and hungry crowds.Food was incredible, it's literally the best thing to find on a night like that night. Something to sober up with and still be taking care of your body and tastebuds. I almost got the nachos and I'm kicking myself for not after have the house tacos. I don't remember which salsa is which. I asked them to make it spicy and they obliged! Packed with flavor, heat, and authenticity please give them a try! I'd hate to not find them the next time I make it to town."
"I got to try the Saucer King sloppy joe at the Kaimuki Friday night food and craft fair, which is being held every Friday from 5-9pm at Ali'iolani Elementary School. Tasty meat sauce with corn and cheese, folded into two slices of bread and iron pressed into a yummy UFO shaped snack that satisfies! I ordered the 3 for $13 deal and ate two right away. It's slightly messy if you don't eat it carefully (it IS called a SLOPPY joe!). I saved one for later and it heated up great in a toaster oven."

Very few lunch wagons are legendary, and Nicky's is a part of that elite list. I used to eat at Nicky's decades ago when they fed loads of hungry drivers/cargo workers/anyone in the know by the Airport. They moved years ago to Mililani st downtown right by the post office. The daughter was just a toddler when I began eating here and now she runs the business. She works hard, provides exemplary service and the plates are onolicious! Fresh, hot and the flavors are always dependable, so your fave will always be just as you'd hoped. Support this classic food truck, but please save some beef stew for me!!!

Da Andagi Guy 's Okinawan Donuts are fresh and so delicious! It's served hot and comes in "regular" or with cinnamon and sugar! AND at a reasonable price! Catch them at Don Quixote (which was once called Holiday Mart), right near the entrance, partially in the parking lot! They are at the Kaheka St location on Wednesdays, 9:30 am - 5:30 pm.

Got the burrito. Couldn't have been more happy. Don't judge a book by its cover. This is a small taco truck but he's organized and served quite a few people while I was there.

Very good snack. The original tastes like a sloppy joe empanada. Would definitely come back for the three pack. Got to one of their locations (Aloha Stadium) around 1-1:30pm and they weren't sold out. Had to check their IG for their location details. The saucer was fresh off the pressed but wasn't too piping hot; so I was able to eat it immediately. Worth it.

Dessert in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii...While searching "Hot New Businesses" on Yelp, Surf's Up Soda was on the top of the list.We went to check it out...Although parking is a bit challenging, street parking is free along Hau Street and Mokauea Street. There are 3 dedicated parking stalls on Hau Street for Lei Lei's Bistro that are available since Lei Lei's closes at 2pm, and Surf's Up Soda opens at 2pm.Dave is the friendly owner! He's enthusiastic and helpful! You can create your own flavor combination if his suggestions aren't enough. Of course, I got the cute Shark Bite Soda. It had 4 gummy sharks on the bottom of the cup. It was refreshing with Sprite and blue raspberry flavor. Next, I got the Peach on the Beach Soda (Mountain Dew, strawberry, peach, and cream) because I thought the orange color would enhance the blue gummy sharks... LOL! Yes... it's fun to play with these sharks! Let's return and try other sodas! There's a nice breeze that flows around the outdoor seating area!

Food good, Ambience great, Bartender Amazing. Donnie Roxx is his name, full service is his game. By far the most inviting and friendly guy. Full bar with a great laid back Tiki vibe. Donnie took care of us for 9 days straight. Gave us great aloha vibes and great recommendations for the best experience ever. We had an Airbnb that we were not super excited about. But when we found Sam's Steak and pool bar, Donnie changed our experience for the better. Even if we don't stay at the bamboo next time we will be back to Sam's Steakhouse for drinks with the friends we made here.

"On a visit to check out Lei Lei's Food truck, we stumbled upon Surf's Up Soda! I will say it was easy to miss but definitely worth the try. I ordered a Tropical Dream and it was delicious! It included Sprite, strawberry, mango, pineapple, and cream. It was refreshing and the perfect sweet treat!"
"Conveniently located at our hotel! Perfect spot after a long day out. We lost track of time and ended up strolling back to our hotel late after exploring. So glad we were able to have a meal right by the pool. It's a really beautiful scene with the string lights, and some relaxing loungers. At the time they seemed a bit understaffed so things were a bit slower. There were lots of guests for the marathon so I appreciated the server checking in every now and then to make sure we were okay. Not a bad meal for a convenient and chill spot."
