Where to eat in Waikiki

Morimoto's Waikiki inside the Modern Hotel(next to the Iliki). Iron Chef Morimoto owns this restaurant. Outstanding Japanese cusine and service. Even met a judge from the food network drinking at the bar.

If you can take the bus into china town I'd recommend the golden pond for "dim-sum" oh my it's so good!(Burp)
I think it starts around 11am and ends 2pm.

There's a Greek restaurant in the main square of University Ave. below campus; the bus that runs up to UH stops close to there. It's not outstanding, but it's pretty good. I usually go there when I'm in the area.

Singha Thai restaurant! Great food and mesmerizing Thai dancers, in traditional costumes. It's across from the Hilton HI. Village.

This won't help csgray as it's out of the way, over near restaurant row. But for others who visit Honolulu, one of the best kept secrets is VINO (next to Yoshi's), owned and run by Master Wine Sommelier Chuck Furuya. (I'm guessing that Lee knows Chuck since he used to work at La Mer back in the day.) The food is very good and caters to a local crowd, which means the prices are way below the Waikiki tourist-oriented establishments. No surprise the wine selection is wonderful, and again, very reasonable. Just be forewarned: Chuck's a playful guy who likes to randomly flick wine corks at customers. When he's not flicking corks he's busing tables and sitting with his guests. It feels like you're hanging out in his home, a really nice way to spend an evening in Honolulu.
