Aloha🤙 Just an FYI, a lot of smaller businesses have different opening hours and times (it can change) so please check their website or Instagram before going there. Websites and IG are listed in the description. Mahalo for supporting local businesses and this channel🤙😋👍🌈
❤love ❤love britany
Long lines, long waits, and no parking are the only things I dislike about Oahu. Those were three amazing recommendations. Paradise just got better!
Aloha Alan! Yes, all those things you mentioned I don't like and most of the time, I don't find it worth waiting for. So yes, hope you enjoy the other places I mentioned in the video. Mahalo for watching!🤙👍
Love da snow puffies! When the ice cream shop has their POG ice cream with green tea, ono combo!
I gotta try the Pog ice cream still. Nice!!🤙😋
Aloha Sean! I think that's cool that you guys show up unexpectedly to food places. I feel that a lot of the Food Vloggers get invited, and get the best looking meals with hug portions because of who they are and it's not consistent with what I get. Thanks for keeping it real and look forward to the next one🤙👍
Aloha Crucial Thinker. Yeah, that's how I feel. I mean, there are Authentic Food Vloggers, don't get me wrong, but I'm not too fond of those that don't tell the viewer their getting sponsored and invited. So if they do say it, hey that's cool too. I just know that's probably not what most ppl will get. Mahalo for watching🤙👍😋
We just did a tour of north shore and got snow puffies!!!! 100% agree yummy!
Mahalo for watching lmfadventures and glad you liked the snow puffies😋🤙
Love you two! Missed you too! Thank you for all you do. I enjoyed today's episode. Hope to see more of you
Aloha Christine!! My wife and I love you too! Mahalo for supporting this channel! And yes, more vids to come. 🤙😋👍🌈
Definitely enjoyed the “snow puffy”- just melts in your mouth!
Also Giovanni’s succulent shrimp , Waiahole Hawaiian food, plus etc….such ono foods. Thanks for the intro of the new finds. Cant wait to try them….
Aloha Ann Chee! Mahalo for always supporting us!:) Snow Puffies are my favorite!:) So much good food indeed and Waihole is my fav Hawaiian food. Enjoy the foods when you go🤙😋
Welcome home newly wedded. These are awesome hidden gems, especially the Kaimama Shave Ice, crazy about the serene sitting area. I love your videos, watch them countless times. Thanks Sean&Nhi😘😘
Aloha Honu67!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel!:) Yes, the sitting area is very nice and def wanted to show it. We appreciate you! 👍🤙🌈
You gotta do what those big Polynesian guys say, no doubt! Another great video Sean, I think we gotta try Honos! right up our alley. Ughhh... So many places, so little time... Thanks again! 😁🤙
Aloha Charles!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel, and yes big Polynesian guys know food best! Lol Enjoy Hono's bro! Enjoy as much as you can🤙😋👍
I’m so excited we’re heading to this gem you recommended today thank you for all you do !!!
Aloha Dwight. Hope you enjoyed all the North Shore foods today🤙😋
What an amazing day of eating 😍 I love you showcasing the not so popular places because honestly those places are usually way better and aren't just all hype!! also I think I need to find a "big Polynesian man who loves food" to hang out with me all day so I make good food decisions 😅😊❤️!!! Mahalo always Sean and Nhi ❤️
Aloha Maui Onion!! Awww thanks for always supporting us and your thoughtful words. We try our best to showcase the not so popular places. Places like Giovannis will do just fine still with other ppl going to their ono Shrimp Trucks. And yes, you can't go wrong with a Big Polynesian man that loves food showing you the best places to eat. Lol! 🤙😋👍😂
Awesome video! I love you and your wife's descriptions, it makes my mouth water! I can't wait to make my trip and plan around these places that you have recommended! Thank you to you and your wife for sharing!
Aloha Fave Dance Couples!!! Mahalk for watching and all these foods make our mouth water too! 😋 Enjoy the local foods when your here. Happy Holidays!🎄🤙😋
Great recommendation!! Always enjoyed your videos! Can’t wait to return to Hawaii! 😋❤️
Aloha Viv! Mahalo for always supporting us! And yes, so much more great food to try out:):)
Japanese Truck No.7 gets my vote for hidden gems in Hale'iwa. Super fresh fish and hospitality! Right off of the main drag too! The slight breeze from the shore mixed with eating a handroll is so memorable 😁
Aloha Alex Lin!! I'll have to check out the Japanese Truck No.7 . I appreciate all your recommendations!! 👍😋🤙
So happy there's new Hawaii content! I'm going soon and your videos have been so helpful.
Aloha Heebies!! Enjoy your time here on Oahu! Hope you eat all the local grindz🤙😋
Sean, you are my favorite YTer for Hawaiian food! The only problem I have is that everything looks delicious and I can’t possibly go (when I come from Cali) to all the places you show.
But those Snow Puffies looked especially fine!
Thank you.
Agree 😋 Can’t fit it all in in 1 visit !🤙
Aloha Bballer Forever! I appreciate your kind words and I can't take too much credit since I learn from the other TH-camrs. But Im flattered👍And you can eat all those things for sure. I usually eat, rest, then I may hike or swim in the same area to work up an appetite, then come back to another meal and so on. Mahalo from Oahu to Cali🤙😋👍
Oh yeah! Definitely gonna go visit these hidden gems! Mahalos for sharing braddah!😄
Aloha Parish! Mahalo for always supporting this channel! I don't want these hidden gems hidden:)🤙😋👍

Love the food from the way you ate tells me you enjoyed every thing Thanks for sharing ❤️
Aloha Islyn!! Mahalo for watching and yes, all the food was quite good. Hope you get to eat all these🤙👍😋
Right across from Kaimana Shave Ice is a place I’d recommend, Mana + Pua!
Food and drinks are super instagramable and tastes great! If you two go, please try the ube cupcakes, it’s the only thing I didn’t get to try!
Aloha Kristy!! Oh I will def try the Mana Pua place tasting good and IG worthy are both important:):) I'll try the Ube Cupcakes too! Mahalo for the suggestion!👍🤙😋
NICE to see Mama Nita's/Paalaa Kai getting their accolades...Pat & company coz it's been long, hard process, aside from the fact he's high school classmates-lol. And Paalaa Kai coz they're local institution. They've been around, in one form or another, since mid-1960s....
Aloha Harry!! Thanks for supporting the local food places. Patrick is a nice man and glad I got to talk to him. His food is great! Patrick told me some old school stories about food places and I'm sure you can too since your hsi classmate. I love Paalaa Kai Bakery. 1st time ever that day and will be back. Mahalo👍🤙😋
Sean, we had Snow Puffies today- they were the Best!!! Even better than Leonard’s malasadas.
Thank you for telling us about them, wouldn’t have known.
Thanks again!
Aloha Bballer Forever!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel and yes, best Snow Puffies for sure!! I'm glad you tried it and Leonard's is good but I agree with you. Hope you're enjoying your Hawaii trip🤙 take care!🌈👍
We were just in Maui for two weeks in October. Recently, I found your channel and I have been binge watching your videos. Because of your videos, we are going to Oahu next time and to try your hidden gems. Thank you Sean.
Aloha Loanne! Mahalo for watching this channel and I hope you enjoyed your time in Maui! And hope you come to Oahu and try these hidden gems. Happy New Years!:)😋👍🤙

Aloha Gaby!! Mahalo for watching and yes, hope you enjoy all the great local eateries here on the island. 3 weeks is soon! 🤙😋👍Exciting:):)
@@SeanKaleponi Thank you, Sean. We want to support the locals as much as possible. Keep up the great videos. Its amazing on how much the youtube channels help plan a trip.
My wife and I enjoyed the video. She especially liked Kaimana shaved ice. Mahalo!
Aloha Kenny!! Mahalo to you and your wife for always supporting our channel. Kaimana Shave Ice was a surprise for us. Good shave ice and nice hidden backyard!😋👍🤙
Hey guys , another great foodie hunt 😋 It’s interesting that some places sell certain foods on certain days and not every day of the week. And some don’t open every day. I’ll have to plan my visit carefully so not to miss out. Lol 😝
Cheers 🌴🤙
Aloha Rod, yes, that's the difficult part about some of the food truck. The hours, days, etc. So I always look at their Instagram pages and at least in North Shore, if one place isn't open, it's easy to walk a couple steps to the next one. Yes, I agree but hope their business grow where their open more often.. Mahalo for watching 🤙👍
Nice finds! Snow puffies are the best!! Look simple but so amazingly good! Next time you go to get your snow puffies fix, try going to their market right next door for their fried chicken!
I will definitely try Hono’s truck next time instead of Giovanni’s!
Aloha Teresa!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel! And yes, I heard that the market next door has some amazing fried chicken so I'll def check it out the next time. And yes, please let me know what you think of Honu's!. Soo good my wife says. 👍😋🤙
Excellent food tour!
Aloha GetRecipe! Mahalo for watching 🤙😋👍
Bro was Nice meeting you and your Wife today at the Mall! Much love and God Bless! Chef Prez🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Aloha Chef Prez! It was nice meeting you as well. Please tell your son we said hi! Have a great rest of your weekend🤙

Aloha Diane! Enjoy all the great food here in Oahu in 2 weeks!:) Mahalo for watching 😋👍🤙

Had to share this story. The other day Anna and I were rewatching this video while we ate breakfast. Anna had pancakes and the aroma of her breakfast with the visual of the snow puffy was a mind blower!!! If you're watching this video, Quick!!! Get some pancakes. SmellOvision is real!!!! Happy Wednesday From Cali Sean!

We were just in Oahu last month and used many of your recommendations from past videos. Ubae was definitely one of our favorites!
Wish this North Shore content was available last month…

Mahalo
Aloha Max!!! Mahalo for watching and glad you tried the Ubae. Hope you had a great time here last month and more stuff to try so coming here again sounds good. 🤙😋👍

Aloha Liz from Oahu to Australia! I will visit Australia some day!:) glad you were able to come to Hawaii multiple times and enjoy the food suggestions👍🤙🌈
Hello Sean!!!!! Thanks for posting my post/comment. Honos is definitely a hidden gem. We enjoy Honos everytime we are on the island. Cannot beat the quality and taste. Keep up the great work Brother. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Aloha Jason! Mahalo for your suggestions and my wife loved Hono's. Quality and taste are on point. I'm sure we'll go there again. We read all comments and love to reply to our viewers. Have a great day!🤙👍😋
@@SeanKaleponi Sounds great! Best of luck!!!
Had snow puffies there two weeks ago and WOOOOOOOWWWWWW. I walked in and didn’t see any in the case and I was like “damn” then was pointed to the other side case - heaven.
Aloha beardedspirit! That's the same way I felt. I was like "Please tell me they didn't sell out" then walked around the corner and it was all there. Glad you got to try some. Mahalo for watching 🤙😋
Thanx Sean ... Ill be there Oct2022 - we will definitely try your hidden gems in NShore ...
Aloha Jerry! Enjoy all the North Shore foods in October! Mahalo for watching👍🤙
Hello guys, I came back from Oahu a few days and I tried a lot of your recommend spots!
1. Ubae- Amazing and unique flavor
2. Seven brother at the mill- BEST BURGER IVE TRIED IN MY LIFE! HANDS DOWN! Haha
3. Macadamia Nut Farm- best snowball cookies! 10/10
4. Weima Falls Trail/Waterfall- life changing scenery and fun
5. and I think you reviewed Papa Oles? If you didnt, you have to! The Big J is incredible!
Thanks again for the videos! I already came back and I’m still watching them😂
Aloha Piece of Bacon! glad you got try some of the best foods here that I enjoy! I love the snowball cookies and Seven Brothers Burger for sure!:) and I have tried Papa Oles yet because their usually really busy. But eventually I will. Mahalo for watching 🤙😋
Snow puffies are amazing, it’s just such a far drive from where I live in Kaneohe for pastries. They got delicious fried chicken over there as well
Aloha Cheehee 808! I'm from Kaneohe too and yes, it's a far drive so I just make the most of my time when I'm there. I def gotta try the fried chicken because your the 5th person that told me. Mahalo for watching 🤙😋
SEAN!!! OH MY GOLLY GOSH!!! I JUST SAW YOUR SHIRT!!!! I NEED IT!!!! AWESOME SIR!!!!!
Aloha Charles!! We will for sure make shirts to sell in the future. Just trying to build up the name right now. You'll be one of the first ppl to know when we do. Mahalo🤙👍
Yayy! Finally a place close to me AND where my beloved BTS has been. Why did I not know of this! Thank you Hawaiian Traveler for your awesome videos! Keep up the great work! #BTSxARMY
Aloha Evalani!! Glad this video has helped and yes, BTS has been there so it already adds more of a cool value to the fans:) Mahalo for watching🤙
Can't wait to try them all when we come back over there in January - try out the rib steak food truck over by Laie/Hauula - supposed to be super good!
Aloha MEBUGBUG!:) sounds good and I will check out that rib steak food truck in Hauula. I know where your talking about. Mahalo🤙👍😋
You Bacon Me Hungry!!! Omguava...wish I knew about this when my ohana was here! Another reason to head to the Northshore! Hono's...gotta go!!! Mahalo Sean!!!
Aloha Mele!! Yeah, Bacon me hungry was a catchy theme. Lol. Enjoy North Shore and Honus the next time your out there. Mahalo for watching😋🤙👍🌈
I enjoy watching your videos! I always end up at Teds when I'm in the North Shore :)
Aloha Catherine!! Mahalo for watching!!! Ted's is a great way and the first thing I see when entering North Shore from the East side:):)🤙😋👍
💖💖💖
Aloha Allison! 🤙👍😋🌈
Cool I want to be in Hawaii again now
Aloha Jamoan123! Please come and visit Hawaii and try all the great foods😋🤙👍
GREAT video! Now you need to try Smoking Boar and Coconut in Waialua, WickedHI (must try the Gypsy pita sandwich with goat cheese and the dragonfruit slush with raw honey) and Gordo’s right next door for Mexican.
Aloha Kristina!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel. I'll try the Smoking Bear and Coconut in Waialua next time for sure! And Dragonfruit with raw honey sounds amazing! Thanks again!
I'll be in Oahu next month and will be trying that
garlic chicken when I go to North Shore. I am on a quest to find the best deep fried and very garlicky chicken morsels. I'll check out Sugoi Bento that you did a review as well.
For Japanese food in Waikiki, I recommend Yoshitsune. They have really good sashimi, sukiyaki & dinner sets. The dinner set blew me away & you get A LOT of food. I could not eat it all: miso soup, appetizer, homemade tofu noodle, sashimi, tempura, chawan mushi & salmon entree. The presentation, flavor & execution was spot on! I'm very picky when it comes to Japanese food(my mom's is the best😄). My parents & uncle & aunt love this place as well. Can't wait to go and they might have the seasonal matsutake.
Aloha Lisa!!! Yes, please enjoy all the local foods when your here. I was told from many others that the fried chicken at Paalaa Kai Bakery next door was very good and yes, many others have told me Sugois has the Best Garlic Chicken. But who knows maybe there's other places too. And sounds good. I'll check out Yoshitsune as well! Glad you and your Ohana can enjoy it all together. Mahalo for watching 🤙👍
Also, you should try the coffee at Green World Coffee Farm. I got the Cappuccino Freeze with an Irish Cream flavor shot and it’s the best coffee drink I’ve had! And I don’t even like sugary drinks! 😅 Have a great day guys!
Aloha Piece of Bacon. Yes, I've tried the pure coffee at Green World Coffee Farm! Def natural good tasting and strong!:) I'll try the Cappucino freeze next:) Mahalo🤙😋
Next time North Shore Oahu, Pupukea Grill Food Truck. Giovannis Garlic Shrimp Food Truck, and local Foodland in Pupukea with their fresh taco poke to chill on the beach. Try it.
Aloha Adam! I've heard good things about the Pupukea Grill Food Truck and the Foodland. Okay, will do. Mahalo🤙😋
If your ever out in Kapolei/Ewa you have to try (Legacy Gryndz)
The food I soo good !!
Furikake chicken wings
Loco moco
Volcano fries
Pork chops and gravy
Furikake ahi
All kine hits, done well, unique taste, local soul food vibes 🤙🏻
Aloha 808Frontline!! I def gotta try it in Kapolei Ewa. That Volcano fries is calling me😋🤙
Snow puffies for the win! Never knew they had malasadas there. That means gotta go back and back again for more. Lol! We'll be back home again soon. We'll message you the dates. Maybe can do one hike and eat with you folks. Going for Jasmine's bday coming up. Always love the videos and the genuine reviews. Get some solid grindz Waipahu side and our favorite shave ice Mountain Magic too. Stomach growling already thinking about the food and sweets. Aloha Sean and Nhi! 🤙🏽
Aloha Jasnmykeats!! Those snowpuffies are sooo good!!!! And yeah, they advertise the Malasads right when you come in so I had to try. And yes, a hike sounds good to me!! We try our best to keep it real and if the food isn't good, we may just leave it out. And I love Mountain Magic Shave Ice. They have the original one in Makaha. I plan on doing a review there also. Hope all is well. Please tell the family I said hi!:)👍🤙
15:55 my favorite spot at the North Shore for ice is the sugarcane factory 15:55 they have a sign that says there are the original 15:55
Aloha Timmy, I like the sugarcane factory too!🤙😋
Hi Sean, I so appreciate some of the places and restaurants you feature. Visited Oahu for the second time this week and we’ve used your videos both trips to find new places to visit and yummy eats. Went to Kaimana shave ice this week in Haleiwa. Great more natural tasting flavors, nice staff, and cool backyard sitting spot. We had chocolate samples and did a brief free farm tour at Waialua Old Sugar Mill.
We also ate at Broke Da Mouth Grindz in Kapolei which was delicious. We had the garlic furikake chicken and loaded adobo fries, and a lychee lilikoi lemonade, and 7 of us shared the Ube ice cream cake for desert which was plenty. We never made it to Mama Nita’s even though we all wanted to because their hours didn’t ever match when we were in Haleiwa.
Oh we also ate at Papa Ole’s in Hau’ula which was so good. We had a mix of their two versions of beef ribs, teriyaki chicken was delicious with a nice grilled teriyaki glaze, and their garlic fries are amazing. You might consider featuring that place if you haven’t before.
Thank you again so much for helping make our trip great. Heading home to WA this morning.
Mahalo Justin for watching and glad this channel can help you with your Oahu trip👍🤙 Broke Da Mouth is one of my fav places! And you got a good choice with that chicken and Ube. And there's always a next time for Mamanitas. It's soo good there. And yes.. we did feature Papa Oles in the same video we did with Broke Da Mouth. We love it there. Hope all is well and that you come back again. Aloha🤙👍
Mahalo for your videos. I enjoy all them alot and love seeing all the different places you and your wife takes us to. Sorry, did not say hello to you back in July at your work. I did recognize you though. (It was was like, hey I know that guy but wasn't sure from where then, ohhhh he's from the youtube food videos that I watch.)
Aloha Stevie! Mahalo for watching our videos and aww please do stop me if you see me at work. Sometimes the guest give me an unsure look and stop. So I just tell them it's me from TH-cam and they say "I thought so". Lol. Hope you had a great time eating food in July. Mahalo🤙😋🌈
Sheesh!! I picked up 20 pounds just watching you guys eat. 😂😂🤣
Everything is so ono looking. Top it off with that shave ice….yummmm.
I gotta go next time I cruz that side. What a difference in traffic between a Wednesday and a Sunday….which is when I usually drive around the island..and then complain about the crowds….LOL. Mahalo for the awsome video. You two are such a beautiful couple ❣️🤙🏼
Aloha Urs Cruz! Mahalo for always supporting out channel! I think kw e picked up 20 pounds too so just ran the next day. Lol. I can assume that Wesnesdays have less traffic than the weekends. I only go to North Shore on my days off of work which is usually Wed so best bet is to go on mid weekday:) We appreciate your kind words. Mahalo🤙😋👍🌈
Been watching your videos lately, and I really enjoy them! Was curious if theres any good vegetarian restaurants or food options anywhere as well? Greetings from Florida :)
Aloha Tiffany from Oahu to Florida!! Mahalo for watching! I don't know any Vegeterian Restaurants but I do know that most places do have options for Vegeterians.
Hey Sean, one day we’ll get back and go to all those places Mahalo🤙🏼
Aloha TSN!! Yes and I hope you get to enjoy all the local grindz in North Shore. 👍🤙😋
Aloha Pare , ano ba ,
We have been waiting for an episode, and it's here ,....
From the Cool 🌊💦 of the Monterey California area,
Ramos Family 🤙🏻....
Mahalo Ramos Ohana for always supporting this channel. Aloha from Oahu to Monterey California!👍🤙
Did you check out the store on the left side of paalaa kai bakery? It's like Korean food heaven in there. The kimbap is sooo good. You can put that place on your next north shore video (or a Korean eats video?)
Aloha Iamrara! Yes the Mini Mart next door. I featured just the fried chicken but yes, I should hey thr Korean food next time. I'll def feature it in the future. Thanks👍
really enjoyed! it gave me another reason to visit north shore soon. Side note, my husband eats A LOT. can you do AYCE series in Honolulu?
Aloha NgDuJour!:) and I always go back to North Shore for more food:) Please tell your husband I said hi. And a future Honolulu Food Tour will be in the future:) Mahalo🤙👍😋
I watch all of your videos Sean. I'm getting super excited to be there in January for my honeymoon. I can't wait to try the different places to eat. Thank you for doing what you do. If you could do a video of the Ritz Carlton or the walk from there to the beach it would be awesome!
Aloha Steve!! Mahalo for watching this channel and enjoy your honeymoom here in Jan. So much good foods! Okay, gonna have to put the Ritz Carlton on the list. Have a good weekend👍🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi thanks
Thanks....gotta hit up that Shave Ice place next time I am there. Always get my Waiola, but gotta try Kaimana@
Aloha! Kaimana Shave Ice is good but not that special. Waiola is still my favorite. 🤙👍😋
yeah me too and my sons and their girlfriends too.....we're retired but exercise everyday so we can still eat some of the local goodies...you and Nhi are good to be so active and fit!@@SeanKaleponi
I would like to see this beautiful place
Aloha Theresa!! This beautiful place is ready for you whenever you are🤙👍
We'll be on Oahu in January next year, been gettingna lot of your tips on where to eat. I don't think we'll have enough days there to try them all. Ah well, suppose we'll have to return.
Aloha David! Mahalo for watching and heck, I live here and don't have enough time to eat all the food. Lol. Please enjoy the local grinds when your here in Jan! 👍🤙😋
Hi Sean! My friends and I saw you at the garden a few months ago. Hello 😂. I wanted to recommend you try out and/or review Aloha Mamacita. It’s a hole in the wall taco spot that sells birria tacos (can even be in bao form). My friends and I always miss it and you doing a review of the place would be us living vicariously through you hahaha.
Aloha HoneywithTummy! Oh I go to the Gardens quite often. Did you stop me and say hi? I always appreciate talking with ppl who support this channel. I heard MamaCitas was good! Haven't been there but I will check it our. Mahalo for watching!🤙👍
@@SeanKaleponi Yes! I was actually about to ask if you could take a picture of my friends and I, and then you turned around and I was like “Oh! Sean?!” And you were filming about the Chinese cookies. Haha! Would love to hear some reviews about Mama Merce’s Kitchen food truck and Aloha Mamacita!! 😊
Sean - would it be possible for you to review Haleiwa Joe’s in Haiku Gardens sometime. My family and I are going to Oahu in November and have heard great things about that restaurant. Mahalo 🌺☀️🌴🌊
Aloha Alan!! Yes, Haleiwa Joe's is a 3 min drive from my home. It's very good with beautiful scenery! I'll have to review in the future. Enjoy Hawaii in November!👍🤙
I love how they serve the grilled cheese with a slice of bacon just in case you get a bite without bacon😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Aloha Ido! Yes, I like the extra piece of bacon too! It looks good for the camera and tastes ono! Mahalo for watching!:)
Super~ incredilbe upload! HawaiianTraveler- ;))
Aloha Prohodaction! Mahalo for your kind words!🤙
There football bread Ono too.
Aloha. I gotta try their bread next time. Mahalo🤙
Another great video. Would love to see your favorite mochi spots if you have any!
Aloha Sam Cha! Mahalo for always supporting! I do like mochi and will include some in future videos!:)
Can you try Bretman Rocks’ mama’s famous food truck? I think it’s called Merce’s Kitchen for Authentic Home Cooked style Filipino food! I’d love to see a review!
Aloha HoneywithTummy! Okay cool. So we have met at the Gardens with your friends! Please follow me on IG so I know who you are. And sounds good. The next time I'm on that side, I'll try Bretmans place. I think he's funny and glad he represents Hawaii. I'll bring someone that's an expert in Filipino food too! Mahalo for your suggestions🤙👍
Planning a family trip to Oahu soon. Definitely going to try Kaimana Shave Ice and maybe Giovanni!....
Glad you notice with the Hono's, it must be a Korean culture/mindset to open similar cuisine. I lived in koreantown in the main land for over five years and they do the exact same thing where they copy other establishment that is next or across the street. The funny thing is when you get the bill the name of the receipt doesn't match the establishment. What they will do is change the menu and update the storefront logo, but never change the business name legally. When a new restaurant move in the area, they will do it all over again. I find them very interesting, but will never go into business with them.
Aloha UranSakura! .Mahalo for watching and please enjoy Kaimana, Honos and maybe try Jenny's shrimp that's right next door. My wife loved it. And yeah.. that sounds just about right with some Korean establishments. We've been to Korea many times. We love it there. 🤙
I love honos. Their spicy shrimp is awesome, but bit spicy. Their sweet pineapple shrimp is my fav. I have no idea why Giovanni is so popular…. Nothing fancy about their food.
Aloha JP! Thanks, I'll ask my wife to try the Pineapple Shrimp the next time! Giovannis has good shrimp.accordijg to many ppl, but I think they got the name but other food trucks are stepping up!🌈👍🤙😋
Go to Honos -- not Giovanni's! We tried both and ate them side by side. The shrimp at Honos are juicier, plumper, with better sauces! We asked to buy their sauce to bring home, but it's made fresh, with the shrimp so not possible. Support Honos!
Aloha Lindsay! Mahalo for watching and yes , my wife really enjoyed Honos and liked it better than Giovannis. And she loved the sauce. Glad you liked Honos too!:):)
Ahhh, I just watched this video AFTER leaving Oahu 😭. Next time!
Aloha FoxBox!! Yes, next time then you can try all the North Shore Eats🤙😋👍
Awesome ‼️ How do you stay slim 😃?
Aloha Nadine! I run everyday and I don't eat like this all the time:) I enjoy sharing my cheat days recording for our viewers!:)🤙😋
You should have tried the chicken at Paalaka Market, next door to Paalaka bakery.
Aloha Bighatstephens! I will def try the chicken at Paalaka Market. I think your the 10th person that told me so now I have too!:)🤙😋👍
@@SeanKaleponi I have never been there but there is an older youtube that talks about the snow puffies and the chicken from the market being outstandingly good. Keep up the great vids! Watching from California.
Just revisiting older entries. FYI...Mama Nita's relocated to 66-412 Haleiwa Rd. Easiest way to get ther....Turn L, onto Pa'ala'a Rd, next to McDonald's. Follow that road & turn Rt on Haleiwa Rd. Mama Nita's is on the Rt., next to HFD #14. If your coming from Waimea/Sunset, turn Rt., @ Haleiwa Joe's/7-11 & follow that road. Food truck on L....
Mahalo Harry for the updates! Been a while since I heard from you and I appreciate all your wisdom and ol stories about growing up in Hawaii. Hope all is well🤙
@@SeanKaleponi....Just found out...Pat shutting down Mama Nita's & moving mainland. Was thinking if you/Nhi not doing anything, this Sunday(2/25)....maybe we can meet/greet at his truck one last time?
@@SeanKaleponi... SORRY, Sean! My bad! Got my days mixed up! Pat/Mama Nita's last day was past Sunday! Like song lyrics say..."All apologies!"-smh
Hey Sean! I really enjoyed this episode being that our Ohana lived in Hawaii for over 50 years before moving to Virginia 🤪. Can you please clarify, when you went to Hono's Shrimp truck, who BTS is. I kept trying to figure it out but I just can't. Anyway, we'll be looking forward to your next video. Until then, stay safe. 💙🤙😊💖
Aloha Robert from Oahu to Virginia! And BTS is a popular Korean Boy Band that is reaching a big audience with the Americans too. They even okay their songs on the radio in Hawaii. I don't like them but my Wife does. Mahalo for watching 🤙
You're more than welcome. I look forward to watching your episodes so much so that I only wish you were able to do more of them. My wife and I will be patiently waiting for your next one. 💙🤗🤙
@@robertlittlejohn5470 Mahalo! Our goal is to do this fulltime so we're working towards it right now.🤙
Who is this large Polynesian man? 😂
But honestly that sandwich looked bomb! I like cheese.
Aloha Kristy! Haha.. well I can't say it because I don't wan a hurt that large Polynesians man's feelings. Lol. And if you like cheese, you love the sandwich at MamaNitas.
Hawiian traveler whats some good dinner spots, heading out next month, need some ideas
Aloha Kobe! I like Jade Dynasty and Tanaka of Tokyo both at Ala Moana Mall. But I like sticking to the plate lunch styles usually shown on this channel during the day👍😋🤙
Off the top of my head, for dinner, suggest Dixie Grill, Nico's at Pier 38, Signature Prime Steak & Seafood, Stage Restaurant/Amuse Wine Bar, Hy's Steakhouse & Shor WKK @ Hyatt Regency. Depends on what your palate, & wallet, are hungry for!-lol. Other's are located at Kamakana Ali'i out on the West side but haven't been down that side in awhile....
Honos shrimp truck is by far way better than Giovanni's to me...
Aloha Lawrence! You're not the only one that feels that way. My wife loves Honus. 🤙😋👍
Great job with your channel. I haven't seen it yet, but you definitely need to hit up Rys Poke Shack in Kahuku and see braddah Ryan. Tell him G sent you. He has the best poke ever!
Aloha G Segawa! I've spoken to Ryan before when I was eating at Da Bald Guy. Cool dude and yeah, I gotta check out his Poke next time in the area. I'll tell him G Sent me. Mahalo for the tip🤙
please go to romys bro
Aloha Justin! I'll try Romo's too!🤙👍
Will do this today. Will let you know how good they are 😀 your food videos and the Oahu hike videos are the only credible ones. The rest of them..not so.. how can every restaurants they were invited to was all good. :( your reviews are honest (e.g. "long John donuts lol)
Mama Nita's is closed now
Aloha Min C! Thank you for your kind words! We have some credible food ppl like Food Fiend and Authenctically Charles on YT here. But yeah, I'm not a big fan of being invited to places although I've been invited myself , I like to do research on the place and see how good they are so I'm not in an odd spot to eat their for free and feel like I have to talk good about them. But yeah , many hikes too and Enjoy and be safe!:)
Aww shucks. Yes, please check their IGs for updates. So much other good places in North Shore🤙
@@SeanKaleponi at least we just tried Honos. It is great. We have been going to Giovanni's. Thanks for that
