Richard, I did not realize until today about your "Thanks" pledge. Thank you so much for your generosity! Would you like me to go to a particular location for you to film? Just let me know. Mahalo again!
Yes, St Louis drive is delicious also! I laughed when you referenced the Hawaiian sun can and tinfoil. Ahh the good ole days! I enjoy watching your food reviews, keep up the awesome work and have a great weekend!
@@kcpratt9314 do they also own the drive in as well? I reviewed the drive in and it was ono! I will go to the delicatessen one day and review it as well. Thanks for the suggestion everyone! 🤙👍
another old okazu-ya is MITSUBA Delicatessen on North School St. between the Honolulu Fire Dept FCU on Pohaku St. and Helena's Hawaiian Foods. First heard of this in '67 when our family moved to the area back in '67.
@@FoodFiend back then in the late 60s/early 70s, had 3 okazu-ya spots from Mitsuba to Burt's Union 76: Mitsuba, Tsubaki Deli, and McInerny Deli (all of them on the mauka side of School St)...
@@hawaiiguy1 oh wow. I do remember a small okazuya next door to Burts with an old 7up sign. I still go to Burts 76 for my safety check. And yes I hated walking up that hill everyday especially with a heavy backpack.
@@FoodFiend yup, you remembered the old 7 up sign on the side of that wooden building ! That was McInerny Deli...older Japan Japanese man who always wore a white tshirt and white painter's type pants with slippahs... Tsubaki Deli was in a small building directly across 1315 North School St (where our family lived in that apt building from '67 to '88)...occupied the front right of the two store front side of a duplex or 4 plex apt building - a large monstrocity of a building now occupies that spot. There was another Japanese man (local) with a limp named Eddie, and can't believe this as I remember, but he too wore always a white t-shirt and white painter's type pants !
I took a pic of the exterior: it was past a 7-11, a florist, Glazer's Coffee Shop/a restauant (next door: I forgot the name of it); it ia before the old beige ("Glen Grant"/ "Chicken Skin" author) building, the Humane Society and Cake Works, before Waialae Avenue...
My mom made the gobo without carrots because, like you, we hate cooked carrots. She also added sesame oil, chili peppers, and dried shrimp with the shoyu/sugar base.
They got the best spicy tuna! Before I closed my gym down I used to go to Fukuya every Sunday after I was done with my clients. I used to get 3 plain musubi, 1/2 lb spicy tuna/ahi limu, 1 shrimp tempura, 1 nori chicken, and sometimes mac salad.
For the longest time they had set prices on the container size for the poke. It was like 7 bucks for a small container. But they packed it to the point where they had a hard time closing it. But a year or so later they started to weigh the poke. So that same 7 dollars I paid before would actually be like 16 bucks! When they started weighing the poke I was like my chang ass cannot afford this all the time hahaha.
Mahalos sista for your videos. Will be on Oahu next month and will be trying some of the places you've been.. i will try to make time to actually eat other places than zippys... haha... Keep up the great food reviews... Aloha!
Right on! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you find some awesome grinds. Sometimes Zippys hits the spot though when you just don't know where to go 🤣
@@FoodFiend Are you going to be doing more reviews before the end of May? I've been away from the islands a long time and I think i may have lost touch with what's there that i didn't know existed. Thanks in advance!
@@mattmartin3810 Hello brother! Yes I do about 2 videos a week. I have many already on my page if you want to browse for some ideas. Thank you! Uploading one now as we speak. It takes a long time to upload a video so it will probably be up in 2 hours. Mahalo!
Fukuya is my favorite okazuya. I try to eat different things when I go, but some of my favorites are the chow fun, inarizushi, nori chicken, ahi (whatever is not sold out), crab cakes, and shirae (instead of mac salad). ʻOno snacks like mochi and cookies, too.
I never heard of a shoyu dog. I always ate the red ones that Hawaii has and I liked them because there was a slight snap to them. I will try to make the shoyu dog. My grandpa grew eggplant in his garden but I never ate one until I came to California. If I eat one it's usually in Italian lasagna or Indian food. I like different kinds of breaded shrimp. The one you had looks like Chinese version of breaded shrimp and I like those too. It can get oily tasting when their cold. I also like the same as you, the panko Japanese breaded shrimp that you find in bento boxes. These days it's hard to find Chinese style breaded shrimp because now their using pre-made butterflied shrimps in a box that they just toss in a deep fryer. Not my favorite. I never heard of burdock root. The ume in rice is a classic. My grandpa used to make them and roll the rice ball in light salt. We used to take them to the beach. The food looked great except for that one deep fried meat thing you didn't like. 🤙🏻(found a shaka braddah)
@@FoodFiend Went to Sekiyas. Still delicious = hash balls and buterfish nitsuke. Cone sushi and fried saimin (used to be a signature dish, IMO) changed not as good as before. Don't know if it was an off day or if the cooks changed. They used to have great mature Nissei and/or Issei cooks. The food was terrific.
Hi Food Fiend 808, could you check out Kalihi Super Meats, behind the Long's off of Gulick Ave. Check out the Fried Squid, Garlic Fried, Peanuts. Also if you are planning a cookout, pick up their marinade Charsui Chicken Thighs and boneless short ribs. The owner is Mike Mato. Please help out exposing some delicious foods from this establishment, they just reopening after begin closed for nearly two years. Appreciate it and hopefully you won't be disappointed.
Sure thing. I thought they went away after that bank building was built but I'll go check em out. Just give me some time as there is a long list of requests! Thanks for your suggestion and patience.
@@susansegawa5519 Just went today, the located next to san nicolas. is that the same kalihi super meats? drive past gulick on king st past bank and right after there is san nicolas. kalihi super meats is located in driveway next to san nicolas.
For some reason I think Fukuya Okazu is bland and over priced.....I like more mom and pop places like Nuuanu Okazu....if thats still around. Thanks for all you videos I am headed back home for a 3 week vacation and looking forward to get my FOODIE ON!!!!

Thank you. I had a “ how did I not know?” moment. All the years driving past this place and never being the wiser. GOOD EATS! Thank you! Thank You!
Awesome so glad you tried it finally and enjoyed the food. Mahalo for watching!
Thanks!
You're welcome! 🤙

St. Louis delicatessen next to St. Louis drive in was my go to place when I used to live in town.
Awesome. Check out my video on St Louis Drive In. I went too late for the okazuya but the plate lunch is winners! 🤙
Yes, St Louis drive is delicious also! I laughed when you referenced the Hawaiian sun can and tinfoil. Ahh the good ole days! I enjoy watching your food reviews, keep up the awesome work and have a great weekend!
@@deetee8089 Yes I miss the good old days! Thanks so much for watching ❤

@@FoodFiend ughhh.steep street going up..

Yes, perfect beach food!
Just found your channel and it's da bomb I subscribed love the videos
Thank you so much! 🤙🙏
Thank you for another delicious video Misty! You’re completely awesome! ❤️🙏🏻😊
Thanks so much Joette! ❤
thing I like about Misty's vids is that she does not zoom in her food (ah, I cant eat it....why zoom it IN MY FACE??)....
This one is in Wahiawa, I think. And not in that other "Wai" place close to Pearl City / Aiea (Waipahu, not Waikiki).
Fukuya is located on King Street near UH by Puck's Alley. 🤙
I took a pic of the exterior: it was past a 7-11, a florist, Glazer's Coffee Shop/a restauant (next door: I forgot the name of it); it ia before the old beige ("Glen Grant"/ "Chicken Skin" author) building, the Humane Society and Cake Works, before Waialae Avenue...

Yum your mom's recipe sounds so good. Craving some right now. Good to know I'm not the only one who hates cooked carrots! 🤣

Their meatballs are delicious too
Can you do a segment on the best okazuya on Oahu. I love okazuya! Chow fun is my fav
I can try to. Thank for the suggestion!

Seikiya's is my favorite. Hash balls, butterfish nitsuke, fried saimin, cone sushi . . .
Sounds so good! Only tried their saimin but will try their okazuya one day!
