Coolest Traveling » The Best Selection Of Honolulu Restaurants

Warning: Honolulu Restaurants can be pricey! Unfortunately, higher prices do not guarantee great food. It’s not unheard of to spend $12-$15 for a so-so burger and not-so-good service. For that price, you should get something good!

Fortunately, Honolulu does have some amazing restaurants from moderately priced to expensive. You probably won’t have time to try them all in one visit so you just might have to come back!

Note: Some Honolulu restaurants take cash only. If you plan to use a credit card, ask right away which cards the restaurant accepts to avoid a mad dash to the nearest bank.

Japanese Restaurants

You won’t have to search around for Japanese Food because there are Japanese and Sushi Restaurants everywhere! It could be because most of the tourists that visit Oahu are from Japan. Surprisingly, the prices in Honolulu are not much more expensive than the mainland. (We always get a little nervous when we see cheap sushi anyway.)

There are tons of great Japanese restaurants in Honolulu and Waikiki but if you’re looking for Vietnamese or Thai food try these places.

Old Saigon This place is away from the tourist areas so to get to it you probably need a car but you will find a very nice decor and great Thai food.

Chinese Restaurants

For good Chinese Food, we recommend Chinatown, which you will find has more than just Chinese food. You’ll find Honolulu Restaurants with food from all over the world.

If you want something closer to Waikiki Small place with a nice romantic atmosphere, good food and good service. They have another location in the Waikiki Marriott with the same good food but not quite the atmosphere. Also listed in our favorite Italian Restaurants.

Italian Restaurants

Italian restaurants are great family restaurants with a variety of plates to please almost everyone, especially kids! The portions tend to be very generous too so don’t be surprised if you have left overs.

Natural Food and Vegetarian Restaurants

If you’re on a special diet, are vegetarian or are just looking for more natural, healthy food, try these natural food and vegetarian restaurants and grocery stores. Even the “regular” grocery stores have many natural and organic options.
