Side Street Inn 1225 Hopaka St Honolulu, HI 96814 Yelp Triple F really wanted to check out Side Street Inn. I did my research and the food did not look all that interesting. Large quantities of greasy fried stuff is not really my thing. Smooth Obturator gave this place a strong endorsement so I put…

Marukame Udon
Marukame Udon 1104 Fort Street Mall Honolulu, HI 96813 Yelp After many days cooped up at the Disney Aulani, Mama H.o.P. was getting cabin fever. We had a rental car for one day, so drove into Honolulu to see the sights, find pleasures that could not be had in the same damn lazy river and…
Roy’s Ko Olina
Roy’s Ko Olina 92-1220 Ali’inui Dr Kapolei, HI 96707 Yelp I’ve been to Roy’s a few times and have never been terribly impressed by the fancified Hawaiian Asian fusion cuisine. The food is good, but it’s never been worthy of a strong recommendation or repeat visits. The Roy’s in Kapolei, which is conveniently located within…
Maui Sweet Eats
I had a lot of random sweet treats in Maui, which I decided to smush into one entry. Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice multiple locations ululanisshaveice.com Yelp Of course, I had Ululani shaved ice. It’s like the Starbucks of Maui. It’s everywhere you turn, on every corner. It turned out to be better than what I…
Mama’s Fish House
We had our last dinner in Maui at this local favorite. While the menu prices rivaled those of Lahaina Grill, the white linen and suited waiters was replaced by blue Hawaiian patterns and casual button ups. The food is less fancy, but still tasty. We were kind of in a hurry to get through our…
Kihei Caffe
So my favorite part of Maui was watching the sun rise at Haleakala Crater. It was pretty painful waking up so early and driving up the windy mountain, only to wait for over an hour for the sun to rise in the blustery cold. The picture does not do the experience justice. You feel like…
Koiso Sushi
The one restaurant that has eluded The Annoyer during the previous 4 times he visited Maui is Koiso Sushi. It’s one sushi chef manning an 11 seat sushi bar and one 4 top table. It’s sort of like your neighborhood sushi joint, but you can’t just walk in any ole time you please and expect…
Star Noodle
Before Sheldon Simeon took home the title of Top Chef, he was the executive chef of Star Noodle. I’m not sure if the place was as popular before or after his win, but it has 2679 reviews on Yelp averaging 4 stars now. That’s pretty stellar. In any case, multiple friends have tried this place…
Braddah Hutts BBQ
So if you’ve ever been to Maui, you’ve probably done the “Road to Hana” trip. It actually sounds much more glamorous than what it actually is, which is just a really long and windy drive around the north part of the island. You’re supposed to get off at various scenic points along the way to…
Lahaina Grill
The Annoyer prefaced Lahaina Grill as our fanciest meal of the entire trip. So The Keeper and I made sure to wear our nicest outfits with heels, and basically look a little less Hawaii and little more LA. Lahaina is quite a drive from Wailea so we were lucky to be able to push back…
South Maui Fish Company
We opted for more poke and fish tacos for our third lunch. Food trucks seem like quite the popular thing in Maui. I wonder if they were popular before the crazy food truck trend hit the mainland. In any case, we hightailed it here after dropping off 3SB for his kite surfing lessons. The rest…
Migrant
Most of our dinner reservations were made with recommendations from The Annoyer who has been to Maui now 6 times. But Migrant was a place of my choosing based on Yelp and Top Chef. The chef/owner here is none other than winner of season 10, Sheldon Simeon, the surprise dark horse who shocked many by…
Overworked. Underfed.
