 This right here is called a Crunch Donburi from Sushi Man in Hawaii Kai Shopping Center. I rate this place a 5 out of 5. With sushi rice on the bottom, ahi on top of the rice, and tempura bites on the top and green onions tossed on the top. This bowl is pretty filling and is about $11 after tax. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try a donburi. 

  If you are looking for some good poke, Tamura's is where it's at. This is Tamura's spicy ahi poke. I like Foodland and Fresh Catch but I recommend Tamura's poke over anyone. I rate this place a 5 out of 5. They do poke bowls and its about $10 for a poke bowl so pretty average in price. 

  Waiahole Poi Factory is one of my favorite places to get Hawaiian food from. Their Kalua pig and Lau Lau plate is soooo delicious. I rate this place a 5 out of 5, it is so worth the drive (if you live in Hawaii Kai, it's about 50 minutes without traffic). I definitely recommend trying this place if you already haven't. It is a little pricey though. 

  Buffalo Wild Wings is a definite 5 out of 5 if you are looking for a place to have some wings and watch a game. The picture shows their traditional wings with their buffalo sauce and vegetables. I've eaten at Buffalo Wild Wings a couple times and always get my cravings satisfied. They offer a wide variety of sauces to choose from so if you don't like really spicy then you can choose a sauce that it mild or even sweet/tangy. I highly recommend. 

  If you are looking for a casual lunch with family or friends, California Pizza Kitchen has a variety of pizzas, pastas, and salads to choose from. If I'm in the mood for some pasta, the Chicken Piccata is my go-to. I rate CPK a 4 out of 5 depending on what location you are at. It is a little pricey and 75% of the time there is wait time. I do recommend this place for a casual lunch or last minute dinner, they also offer take out which seems like what most people do due to covid.

  Somisomi! I love this place for some soft serve in Ala Moana. Theres a few flavors to choose from and I love the taiyaki with the nutella filling but they have other choices of fillings as well. I rate this place a 4 out of 5 because it is a little messy, the soft serve starts to melt about a couple minutes after they give it to you. But nevertheless I enjoy this place and also recommend it to you guys. Its a great to go with friends and family!
