Duc’s Bistro

This family-style restaurant, located on a somewhat nondescript street in Honolulu’s Chinatown, offers live music, attentive owners and consistently excellent French-Vietnamese cuisine, for a dining experience that excels on all levels. It is the perfect spot for a comforting meal of shrimp and papaya salad, lemongrass chicken and banana tapioca pudding.

Eat the Street

Food-loving Honolulu has embraced the food truck craze with gusto and in 2011 some smart entrepreneurs organized a monthly event—the last Friday of each month—called Eat the Street. It is essentially a food truck rally in a parking lot, often with themes like Oktoberfest or Spicy. Check out the website for details on the next event.

Editors' Picks

Kua Aina

This casual burger joint in Haleiwa is a North Shore tradition. In addition to the hamburgers, the fish burgers are fantastic. The secret ingredient: Vermouth, which may sound elevated but know to wear your flip flops and bathing suit as your fellow diners will be surfers.

Matsumoto Shave Ice

This grocery store turned institution is a piece of Hawaiian history and its story—of a Japanese couple and their American success—is told in photos on the wall. Their son and his wife now sell more than 1,000 shaves, or snow cones, on average day. Come taste what all the fuss is about.

Sushi Sasabune

In a town that takes its sushi very seriously—as it should considering its proximity to Japan and to fresh seafood—this is consistently ranked the number one spot and has been rated the number one restaurant in the state in recent years.

Food - The Pig & the Lady, Oahu, Hawaii

The Pig & the Lady

Once a popular stand at a Honolulu farmer’s market, this casual eatery evolved into what is now regarded as the best Vietnamese food in all of Hawaii. The standout dish is Le’s Sandwich, a baguette of braised brisket, bean sprouts and Thai basil paste. For drinks, don’t miss the Coconut Horchata or the Golden Pig cocktail.
