Ramen-ya (Honolulu but also other areas)

The food is pretty good. If you go during their "happy hour" between 2 and 5 you get 4 free gyoza with any meal. This combo that I got normally only comes with 4 gyoza, but we hit up that happy hour so we got 8 :D They have a variety of ramen. The portions are pretty big and I havent let this place once feeling hungry.

It is in the same parking lot as Costco, but on the side with Ross and City Mill

Tatsuo $ (Near the airport)

I found this on good ol yelp.com. The loco moco was amazing! The gravy was really tasty and it wasn't too salty. The hamburger was good stuff and wasn't dried out and over cooked. I am assuming the lau lau was pretty good because my dad didn't even let me sample. By time I looked up his plate was all clean. Must have been pretty good. lol 
**closes around 1 or 2 so be sure to check the hours before you go.

Turn onto Sand Island Access Rd from Nimitz and make the first right. The restaurant will be on the right hand side.

Yajima-ya Wagon (Near town Walmart)

This place is located behind Hinone Mizunone on King st and Sheridan. It was a super random find, but it was pretty good especially for $7 each. The only downer is parking is pretty bad. It seems like all the good eats have terrible parking lol.

Sheridan runs parallel to Keeaumoku st behind Walmart. If you are driving down King st you make a right onto Sheridan and the wagon is on the right side just past Hinone Mizunone Restaurant parking. I believe it has a rock driveway unless they upgraded since the last time I went.

Rocky's Coffee Shop (Waipahu)

i found a picture of the restaurant front. i had a hard time finding it because google maps kinda failed me and i couldnt find any address numbers on any buildings so hopefully this helps a little. its a part of a strip mall shopping center and there is a parking lot on the otherside of the building. otherwise its street parking.
Rocky special omelette- bacon, spam, pork sausage, Portuguese sausage 
fried rice omelette including hot tea and hot chocolate
$17 including to and tax. winner!
i have only had the fried rice omelette and it was not bad. im a pretty tough critique when it comes to fried rice because im used to my dads awesome fried rice, but this one i could not complain. it was pretty good and i was just amazed how they rolled it into an omelette.

this place has the mom and pop kinda feel to it, or a like a "june's cafe" but with more seating. its a pretty cool little spot i found my last trip out there and i think when i go back for school i try some other dishes. the prices are reasonable so i cant complain.  



I think they are only open for breakfast and lunch

Tasty Korean BBQ

lunch version of the meat jun. and the sauce to dip the meat jun in is in that clear jar in the upper right part of the picture. so freakin good! i always hit up this place when i meet up with my roommate who lives close to this place.

the restaurant is between star market and longs and next to subway and some bike shop. it is usually pretty busy but it is def worth the wait. its reasonably priced and you get plenty of food. if you still have room you can go around the corner to cookie corner for a fresh baked cookie. yum!

just keep in mind they are closed on sundays. its in a mormon town so basically everything is closed on sundays, and its a breakfast and lunch kinda place. its super small so if you have a big party it might be kinda hard to get seated.
