Love you guys. Your guys are so down to earth. I'm always hungry after watching your videos. Thanks for putting all the work and making it easy for your viewers 🙏

I learned so much about Hawaiian food through your channel! Thanking for creating interesting content and showing stuff that only locals would know. I feel like you guys are my local Hawaiian friend who gives great food recommendations that I couldn't get anywhere else. I really enjoy these best of videos, and love how you show glimpses of the videos where you actually went to those places. Please make more Best of _ videos!

Such a beautiful view! As always, enjoyed the video 😋 You guys got me craving for all kines of food! Can’t wait for your guys next vid tmrw 🤗

I will be visiting Waikiki for the 3rd time in July! Thank you for all of your wonderful vlogs. I always try your recommendations when on the Island. I can't wait to spend two glorious weeks on your beautiful Island again.

Great video, I also like your Bloopers at the end, nice touch... I've visited Hawaii many times but didn't know of the local eats. So glad I found your channel, keep them coming, Aloha! ☮

Hi Felix and Amanda, I've really enjoyed your videos. I am visiting Oahu from San Diego next month. I've been there many times but I really want to support local establishments this time. So thanks again for the videos!

Facts! ICE MATTERS! Love your videos. I am born and raised in Honolulu, but moved out to California back in 85. I come home at least twice a year. Your videos makes me miss home, especially for the grinds!

Hi Amanda and Felix ... Love your videos .... you guys are really doing a great job and most of all , I see your video quality and presentations getting better and better. Hey ... All your hardworking shows ... Thanks !

The bloopers are hilarious! Keep them coming 😀

Hi, Amanda & Felix! Your vlogs and this particular one are a big help because I will be spending about a week in Honolulu soon, and it will be my first time in Oahu (if you don't count the airport), so I'm looking forward to checking these Hawaiian eats out.

My mother and I are going to Hawaii in October and you guys have the best food chanel that's been really helpful and entertaining. We will definitely try many of the recommendations. Though we won't have a car so we plan to use uber or holoholo ride share. Thank you for all that you are doing!

I could definitely hang with you guys! Every food you show I want to try and now I have FOMO. 🤣

Love your videos. Visiting Oahu next month.

I agree with your choices - Helena’s (miss Mama Helen - so much aloha), Shige’s, Shimazu’s! Also love the saimin and old school hamburger at Jane’s Fountain. Malasadas…Agnes’ - hands down!

Aloha Amanda & Felix. I want poi malasadas now!!!!! Mahalo for showing your top picks!

Five years ago, when we were in hawaii vacation, we were looking for something special in Honolulu. Upon our search, we stumbled a bakery that sell “malasada”. It was morning, but there was already a line up. We said to ourselves it must be good if customers were already waiting for the fresh morning bake. Ohh yeah, it was a love at first bite. Outside was coated with sugar and inside was soft and warm….so yummy.😋

One more week and I’m there! Can’t wait to go to Poke on da run and Honolulu Kitchen for some manapua! Keep up the good work luv the vibes! 🤙🏾

Agree, agree, agree! Funny thing though about Lomi Salmon. I found an article about native Hawaiians not having onions, tomatoes, and salmon, and the origins from trade in the 1700s and 1800s. :)

Thank you so much, somehow I missed this one! I lived in Kapahulu too, small kid time. Right down the street from Rainbow Drive-IN. I think Kanaina street. My sistah worked part time at Leonards. Waiola is my fav shave ice!

Tamuras stopped selling Poke Bowls in Pearl City! Y'all should hit up Freah Catch one day! So good.

Love these types of videos ~~ GOAT Okazuya for me would be HONDA’s!! But yes all of these !! YUM 🤤 LOL

Yes! When you said spam musubi I yelled 7-11 lol.

Adding Zippy's & Chun Wah Kam to your list. And Liliha Bakery. All iconic spots I feel is a must for sure when visiting Hawaii! We don't have any of those spots in California 😭😭😭😭

Have you guys tried Linakas in aiea hgts shopping center? lau lau, kalua pig, paste, etc. Yum. If not don't forget the chili pepper water , and add some to your mac salad..

If you're looking for somewhere to try different manapua, you should try Honolulu Kitchen in Waipahu. They have both savory and sweet manapua. Last time I ordered you can order baked or steamed. Also I recommend calling it in as they don't have it in the case if you were to walk in.

Sorry Amanda! I'm gonna have to side with Felix on the Kam Bakery 😋 Leonard's is good but Kam Bakery ROCKS!! We were there for a few days for a family thing and were staying at Prince Waikiki Hotel and I was wanting something sweet to go with my morning coffee - Yelp steered me to Kam Bakery. I knew it was gonna be good because there was a line out the door. I totally went overboard and bought way too much - but we still are it all anyways 😄🤙

This video would have been darn useful last August! 😃 In any case, we did manage to go to Highway Inn and Shiroi, both based on your videos. Couldn't get to Helena's. We did get Leonard's malasadas, but from their food trucks, which had shorter lines and shorter wait time. I'm putting this video in my Fav list because we intend to visit Oahu again in a year or two. Here's hoping that all the places in this video will still be around. Oh, a minor request. Will it be possible, in each of your vlogs, to show the rough location of the places you go to on a map. I am still not familiar with where most of these places are on the island based just on the name. Most of the time, I'm watching your vlogs on my TV and am too lazy to run upstairs to grab my laptop or tablet to pull up a map. 😁 Thanks very much, Amanda and Felix! Another great video! - Zeke.

However, I typically watch their vlogs while lounging around in the family room and I typically don't have my devices with me, or at least, don't care to use them while I'm chilling out. Having a quick visual idea on where on the island a place is might be useful, certainly to me. I follow a vlog of narrow-boaters in the UK, and they always do a Google Earth map to show where they were at the start of the video. I find that very helpful to put things in context for the rest of their presentation.

You guys got a recommendation for some Huli Huli chicken? TIA!

Yeah the manapua situation is bad. My #1 go-to was always Libby's. Best steamed manapua with light fluffy bun, and I think they must ground up the char siu filling because there's no chunks of gristle and fat which I really hate. My #2 was Char Hung Sut, but they also closed. So, I haven't had a steamed manapua for a LONG time. Sing Cheong doesn't do it for me...too much bread. Now I only get baked ones from Royal Kitchen. If that place ever closes, we are doomed! Or at least I am.
