Let me know in the comments if you guys have any questions about Hawaii and I'll try my best to answer them! 🤙

Only thing about Rainbow’s
Gotta go certain days
For certain plate specials

Still one of the best on the island
🤙🏻

Leonard's and Rainbows are in Kapahulu not Waikiki.

There is a really amazing Chinese restaurant called House of Hong right next to rainbows Drive-In in fact it was right in front of him what he was standing in the parking. I was sure hoping he was going to point that restaurant out.

Hi, John. Good morning. Any place to recomend for bicycles rental in Waikiki area?

Thanks! 🤙🏼

Great video!!!!

All the other vloggers didn’t present the best Waikiki eats as well as you so I’m subbie, thanks for helping us budget people, will be here 🌺🌴August 2023

My bad, thought this was for/by Hawai'i Locals.

Kapahulu food tour without SIde Street Inn? seriously?

Hi Big John!
We’re from California and used your good recommendations - went to Leonard’s (always go there), Ono’s (maybe they had an off day or we should’ve ordered what you did), Rainbow Drive-In.
**Tamafuji Tonkatsu was the absolute BEST!!! Reservations were difficult to get though. Will definitely return there next time.

We also hit up a few places on Kapahulu Ave not on your list that we’re both good - Zippy’s and Side Street Inn.

Thanks so much. You should have a good tour and lead tourists to the good eats foodie man!

False the best & cheapest eat’s in Honolulu are in China town Kalihi & Waipahu

Ewww! Raw fish poke looks so gross! And $17 is kinda pricey for the sloppy gravy meat thing you ordered. Love the fun music in your vids.

Rainbow drive in is pretty good and if you don’t mind going out of Waikiki you can go to ala Moana shopping center. Lot of good places there and across the street to the lunch pavilion in ala Moana beach near the ala Moana beach park.

Not a very informative video. Little commentary or description of the food eaten. Could have gotten the mixed plate to show viewers “a little bit of everything” but got the boneless chicken instead. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Kudos to the lovely folks who work at Leonards and Rainbow. After a year of absence the owner of Rainbow recognized us. We made it a habit to always split a plate after a morning of snorkeling and a bus ride from Hanauma Bay. Back in the old days when it wasn't so expensive.

I never been to Hawaii I am going there 1/16/23 as soon as I get there I am going to Ono to eat some seafood. Thank you so much this was very helpful.

He said the red drink 😂😂

Appreciate the video! Where are you originally from? You don't sound like a local based off your pronunciation of certain words.

I tried some malasadas back in December 2021 it was the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth they were disgusting they went in the bin. They are a take on the British Donuts that are filled with jam and sugar.

Mahalo!! All my top choices and more on Kapahulu !! Happy Eating and take care!!

Thanks Big John. Great Video. I had Tankaippin Ramen at Okinawa and loved it

Can't agree with your selections more! Recommended to go to/Stumbled upon many of the restaurants you mentioned on the list and enjoyed myself lots in each and everyone of them. I think another restaurant that deserves a shoutout is Sunrise restaurant, who specialises in Okinawan food. Its located near Rainbow Drive In and their soups/noodles are amazing. Definitely recommend everyone to try their food out! Am so glad that my favourite Avenue in Hawaii is getting a huge shoutout!

Also, Waiola Shaved Ice is near the area (opposite Safeway). Best dessert option in the area!

I’m planning a Kapahulu Ave foodie extravaganza when I get there ! Great video 🌴😋🤙

Start with Leonard’s and end with Rainbow - nice bookends

You speaketh the Truth!

Opening w Leonard’s, my first stop when coming from Cali. Twice a day for me, oh yeah.

Ono’s Seafood was on vacation when I last visited - huge disappointment - but we’ll get there this time.

Big John, thank you, I want to eat at all the places shown. I’m your new Subscriber.

some good grinds

you ate at all the places in one day? I could do that ! Mahalo for another good video !
