The 38 Best Restaurants in Honolulu, Hawai‘i | Eater

"Locals stop by Liliha Bakery for rainbow layer cakes, mochi donuts, and Coco Puffs, chocolate-pudding cream puffs topped with frosting. But the original Liliha Bakery location also happens to double as a legendary diner, serving excellent crisp waffles, char-grilled hamburgers, butter rolls with nuclear red jelly, and oxtail soup. Though the business has many more locations now, a seat at the counter of the original on Kuakini Street is still the best move. From here, you can witness the virtuosity of the short order cooks, which never fails to mesmerize. Must-try dish: Whatever main you choose, get the waffle as a side." - Martha Cheng
