Spam musubi, beef Curry Udon, shrimp squid fish tempura and tried the dashi soup 

spam musubi is the perfect grab and go snack. It’s sweet savory and salty with no condiments. HahaA1FC89FF-DDFF-415C-A224-FAC3BED5F773.thumb.jpeg.391050ad7922bad3bafc491f30dba282.jpeg

Damn -- I'm pretty sure that I could eat my weight in that squid tempura!  Party on, brother.

Saddest story that I've heard so far today.

Welp, lopped a week off of our trip because "weird economy" + "damn, Hawaii is expensive"

So, we'll stay 3 nights in Waikiki without a car and 4 in nights in Punalu'u with a car.

We'll be staying at the red dot.  What's good in the hood?

I would eat as much fresh caught fish as you can. It's the cheapest, but most authentic thing from my memories. 

I'm down with that.  

I heard the area closer to the zoo is good... maybe read the beach was less crowded.  I also like visiting local zoos. No idea what theirs is like.

Any good cheap food options in that part of Waikiki?

There's nothing "cheap" in Waikiki from what I remember, and the stuff that was, why would you wanna eat it you are in hawaii. 

I wouldn't worry about crowds, even when it was crowded there was tons of space. There's so much beach it won't be hard to have a nice time.

Man, I've got four mouths to feed... two of which are a pain in the ass.  Cheap is relative, of course. I hear food trucks are a way to go.

Go to the Whole Foods every day and load up Poke.

Cheesecake Factory is amazing 

There's an authentic Asian fusion place but I can't remember the name.... Something Chang's

See if there's a Grimaldi's pizza 

 

You know me so well.  Do they have a Kona Grill so I can get authentic Hawaiian food? 

Or maybe somewhere I can get my personal favorite... Hawaiian pizza.  Mmmmmmm mmmmmmm

Dis you?

I mean, that's the kind of cheap I'm talking about... https://www.marugameudon.com/menu/hawaii/ 

That was a $28 dollar meal for 1 person. That is what I meant by nothing being cheap in Waikiki. There's a lot of options for stuff like that in Waikiki, but that's not cheap. There's McDonalds and shit like that still, that's cheap.

It was not an indictment on you, more on Waikiki. I think we might have talked about it in another thread. Lots of chains. It's the Mag Mile meets Ft. Lauderdale in some regards. But the beach is better and there are pretty mountains. Food trucks might be a good plan.

It's funny, I just had someone else. Tell me it looks like Fort Lauderdale with a better beach

Heading to the North Shore tomorrow for 10 days.  Food truck and bar recommendations appreciated. 

I'll be body boarding up there tomorrow. The Turtle Bay poolside bar which is open to the public is amazing. The view is spectacular. Food isn't bad, but you're paying for the view. There's a pretty large food truck park in Kahuku. Lots of good options there. Haleiwa has lots of good options as well. Haleiwa Joes is always great and has a pretty rad view. Lots of food trucks in Haleiwa as well. Seven Brothers burgers, which has locations both in Haleiwa and the Kahuku food truck park is really good. Maya's Tapas in Haleiwa has a really good menu. For eating cheap, I'm a fan of Foodland's prepared food section including solid Poke. There's one on each end of the North Shore. Tamura's liquor store also has a really good poke selection. Enjoy your trip.

@texasdago The ABC chainstores usually have fairly affordable to-go foods like sushi, etc... It's fine. There are all the usual chains that are reasonably affordable as well. I live on the windward side and tell friends that are visiting that there really isn't much great food on Oahu in my opinion. There are plenty of expensive places but not very memorable in terms of food quality. So just getting half decent affordable food while enjoying the beaches makes the most sense to me.

I will say that the beaches on the windward side, in my town of Kailua and the next town over Waimanalo, are far superior to Waikiki. Waikiki is fun for a couple days, but you might consider Ubering over to spend the day on this side for one of your three days. These photos were from yesterday and this morning at Kailua beach.

Did you skip the week when punctuation was taught in Kindergarten?
