Fresh Catch Ahi Furikake Seared ($16.99) Fresh Catch is a popular restaurant that is always crowded with locals, selling fresh fish from Hawaii’s fishermen. Here is a dish of Ahi (tuna) that is quickly seared on the surface and topped with a generous amount of furikake. Everyone loves furikake. In Hawaii, furikake is usually poured over fish, chicken, or other side dishes rather than rice. Drizzle the garlic-scented aioli sauce over the ahi and enjoy. Ahi Katsu ($15.99) This is the most popular local dish. A large piece of ahi is fried until crispy. It is so large that you can’t see the salad underneath, so it is just right for two people to share (although Rocco can eat it all by himself). The top is, of course, covered with furikake (sprinkles). Drizzle the special sauce over the top and enjoy.
Pioneer Saloon Garlic Ahi Steak ($18) This is also an ahi plate lunch. The non-sashimi way of eating ahi is a part of Hawaiian food culture. This famous restaurant is located on Monsarrat Street near Diamond Head and Kakaako, and is always crowded. The owner is a Japanese who has a long career as a chef on the U.S. mainland. The taste of each dish is so appealing that even the locals have become addicted to it. The fresh ahi steak with savory garlic chips and sauce is a captivating combination. Menchikatsu ($10) The crispy batter is filled with juices and flavor. And it’s only $10. Tou” people choose the shiso and wakame rice.
Diamond Head Market Grill Mixed Plate ($15.25) This acclaimed plate lunch restaurant on Monsarrat Street offers a mix of three different flavors. The mixed plate includes hamburger steak with homemade gravy, teriyaki chicken, and char siu pork for three different tastes, and if you want to split it between two people or a family, you can buy prepared foods at the market next door for just the right amount. The prepared dishes, such as lasagna and quinoa salad, are small but close to $10, but they are reasonably tasty and surprisingly hearty. Portobello Mushroom Plate ($14.25) &.
Loco Moco ($12) Portobello mushrooms are very popular among locals for outdoor BBQ. The huge mushrooms are thick and full of flavor, just like steaks. The mushrooms are covered with a special garlic sauce. The loco moco, on the other hand, is so simple that when you open the lid, you may ask, “Is there even a mac salad?” The hamburger steak is well done, and the chef’s gravy sauce is very satisfying.
Pho Factory Pho with Three Beef ($11.99) Pho is a must when your stomach is tired or you have a cold. In Hawaii, where there are many Vietnamese immigrants, pho is a daily staple. There are many good restaurants in the suburbs, but the most convenient is this one in the food court of the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. Even though they are noodles, you can cover them and take them out. I took these home with me again this day. Comes with meatballs, brisket, and rare steak. Drinks and spring rolls are ordered separately ($5.90). The peanut sauce is quite good.
