Been back home for 1 week after spending 14 days in Oahu. Thank you so much!!!!!! Everything we ate were places you guys recommended. Never had a disappointing meal. We had everyday planned out and no matter where we went we ate at your recommendations. I will keep sharing your channel.
Aris: Hey, us too! Looks like we will be on the island at the same time! Wouldn't it be lovely one of these days, when a bunch of Amanda & Felix's UA-cam fans are on Oahu at the same time, that we end up with the Amanda & Felix's Eats Fans Convention? :)
Back in the 80's coming home on leave from Okinawa....walk in the door at home and my folks has this mean Helena's Hawaiian Food spread waiting for me...I recommend Helena's to everyone. Mahalo's you guyz!
I didn’t like poi until my wife and I attended a lauhala weaving conference and attended the banquet and the friends told us to eat the poi with the lomi lomi salmon! What a great combination! I love it all! I just made kalua pork and chicken long rice! Another great vlog!
Sending love from the UK! We’ve visited Oahu twice and your videos are making us want to come back to support more local spots (we’re obsessed with your videos) 💖
My friend just started working at the Broken Boundary Brewery in Kalihi. I know, it's not the usual places you go, but just thought we'd suggest. They serve tacos, and have a small menu. It's great how you guys help spread the word, about local business in Hawaii and soon around the world, once Covid gets under control. I also watch Food Fiend on youtube, another great local youtuber, that goes to a lot of local kine grindz. Keep doing your Thang! We enjoy vids a lot!
Great video! My family and I love to travel to Oahu and seeing you guys quickly stop by the Hilton Hawaiian was awesome! For us it’s the best hotel to stay in Waikiki. We are from Vancouver Canada. Keep up the amazing videos, mahalo!
I love Helena's food! My favorite dushes from there are the Pipikaula and the squid luau. Unfortunately, I haven't been there for many years. I will continue to watch your videos and live vicariously to these fabulous eateries 😋
Love your vids and reaction! My mouth watering every time! Will be back on Oahu and big Island in July. Making my list of based on your videos! Cant wait! Aloha!

OMG, I need to get to Helena's for some Pipikaula Shortribs. Glad you posted their open hrs. Thanks for sharing, loving your videos. Be safe and keep posting.
We love watching your videos from here in New Zealand. Sadly we had to cancel our September 2020 trip but we will definitely visit when our boarders are open for travel again. For now we will continue to watch your foodie adventures and get tips on where to eat when we do get to come back 🤙
We're sad to hear about Australia 😔 but don't worry, we'll try and feature as many places as we can so you guys won't go hungry when you get to Hawaii! 😬 Mahalo for supporting us! 🙏🤙
Btw the thumbnails be 👌👌 I can never get enough of your guys Hawn food recommendations!! My fave is squid luau for sure. Can’t wait to try this place when I visit Oahu 😁
Helana’s is hard to beat! Definitely da ribs is da bomb. You two, sometimes three are my favorite foodies. Keep on grinding. ! Got to spread da aloha go local 😎🤙🏾
Mahalo for the shout out!!! We are going to be in Oahu for two weeks really soon. Can’t wait to try a lot of the places you both have recommended. Some we have been to before like Helena’s and it was great we agree they have the best Kalua pork. Hopefully we bump in to you guys would be great to meet you keep up the great videos. Matt and Jen 🤙🏻
You guys are so much fun!! We are watching/drooling in Texas!! Can you guys do a Zippys review? We decided to cancel our trip in October so for now we will live vicariously through y’all!! One love!!
Mahalo for supporting🤙🏻 we have zippys on our to do list! So sorry you had to cancel your trip but for the meanwhile definitely love vicariously through our Videos😉
Been binge watching you guys for the past month to prep for my trip to Oahu. Now watching this news video from my room in Waikiki. Food has been good! FOODIE OHANA
Loved Maruju too in Aiea.All kinds of local plate lunches too.I missed Pasteles, pipikaula, squid luau, of course main Hawaiian fixings.Loved dipping them in poi or rice.Wish I could grab this through the computer screen.👍😉🥰
Helena's is one of two of my favorite spots Hukilau Cafe in Laie is my other favorite spot. I am located in western pennsylvania but was stationed in hawaii during my time in the Marine Corps. My oldest boy was born at tripler army medical center. Lived at Aliamanu Military Reservation (The Crater). Great show I enjoy it very much.
I had wanted to go for so long, I probably saw a video on Helena‘s over 10 years ago & finally went in May. Another great vid, love watching you guys! Helena’s was my personal favorite food on the trip, I knew the Pipikaula was going to blow our minds & it did! But the squid luau… it was honestly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever had, it’s like that ugly bowl of green just picked me up and gave me the warmest Hawaiian hug💚! My family really enjoyed our meal at Haleiwa Joe’s haiku gardens, I was hoping to try their squid luau but they were sold out by the time we were seated, next time! Vegan vid tip-Smoking Boar & the Coconut 🤙🏽
I Love Hawaiian Food! In the 80's, Ono Hawaiian Food restaurant WAS just around the corner from Dave's Ice Cream on Kapahulu and Date? I remember parking was hard to get. We enjoyed your trip to Helena's and Daves, Thank You.
Here in Caliente (only 2 hrs from Las Vegas it can get hot, not as hot as LV though. Then my fave cooler is a root beer float; now its winter and I'm craving a milkshake made the old fashioned way. Great vid guys!
Aloha from San Francisco, CA transplanted from Aiea, HI. Helena's is so OG! My favs lau lau, poi, haupia. But those pipi kaula short ribs. Wow! Love the evening drive. And a float or cone from Dave's would top things off just right.
Mahalo!!! My family love your videos. We are in Seattle WA. We are coming to Oahu after the 4th of July. Thank you both for what you do. We are going to try a lot of the local and Hawaiian food. Especially Helena's!!!!!!! 😂Foodie Ohana signing off!!!
I just got back from Hawaii. Helena's is still there, but moved to School Street. I also went to Young's Market to eat my Hawaiian food and buy my poi to take back to Texas.
I was wondering if they forgot the sliced onion and Hawaiian salt and then you showed it. Love dipping the onion in the salt with poi. Helena's is one of the best go-to restaurants after returning from the Mainland. Nice way to round out the Hawaiian theme! I always get the poha berry and kulolo ice cream in a cone. Our favorite shop is the Waimalu/Aiea location and they have shave ice too. They make a pretty good halo halo too.
@@AmandaFelixEats Before I forget again, if you're in the Pearl City area, one of the parks you might want to try is Waiau District Park. Its straight up the hill from Blaisdell Park just pass the Fire Station. If you're lucky enough, there's Thai food truck there also. Its called No Ka 'Oi Thai Food by Nattaya. Park is well maintained and there's parking up by the Rec Center where the playground and trees are. You'll like the view too. Happy Eating You 'All !
Amanda and Felix: Thank you for mentioning me in your "thank you's". It's my pleasure to support the two of you after all the wonderful videos and efforts that you've put in. And I'm so happy that I got mentioned in a video on Helena's, because that place is already on my list of places to go to after I arrive this Friday! I even know what I will be ordering! I know that Chicago is probably not on your bucket list of places to visit, but if you ever find yourself here, I'd love to be your tour guide of the local foods and our fav places to eat in and around the city. Deep dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dog, Italian beef sandwich... any of those sounds good to you? Cheers, and thanks again for the wonderful vlogs! -- Zeke (Chicago).
Mahalo for watching and supporting zeke🤙🏻 and you have no idea how much we want to check out Chicago! Bucket list to try some deep dish pizza!!🍕🤤 we hope you enjoy helenas and your stay! It’s coming up so soon🥳🤙🏻
Another great grinds vid guys. We stayed at the Ilikai in Aug 2009 & the day before someone got sucked under at that Hilton Lagoon. Hawaiian paradise has it’s hidden dangers so be safe. 🤙
I grew up in Kalihi eating at Helena’s when they were originally on King Street near Houghtailing. The quality is still the same....’ono! Pipikaula is my fave there!
My favorite dish is everything too! I live in Washington State so yesterday my sister made the cheat oven version kalua pig, not the same but close enough.
Hi Guys Love your channel have been binge watching it right from the start. My hubby and myself love Hawaii and are sooo looking forward to returning once the world opens up again for us. We are watching and following you from Canberra Australia. Keep up the great work and look forward to your next video's...love you Guys!
Aloha Colleen! We hope Australia opens back up soon! Until then we'll keep creating content for you all to enjoy! 😁 Mahalo for watching and supporting us from Australia! 🤙💕
Getting hungry here in Phoenix watching this, I've had Helena's tagged on Google maps for years and we're finally making it to Oahu in a few weeks, cannot wait to try 😋
Great video, I have watched a few other videos of Halena's, I like yours, because WE all enjoy you guy'z !!!. It`s on our list for next week, one of three places we're going to knock out first thing and some ahi and spicy tuna maybe from Tamashiro market since it's almost around the same area(Palace Saimin, Liliha bakery). Felix, you mentioned Manapua man while having your Rootbeer float. Where is a good place for some good Old manapua? Thanks for ALL your videos, we are going to grind when we get there. I have a couple friends from the Makiki and Pauao area. MAHALO guy'z🤙🏾
Love your videos. Favorite thing from your dinner was poke . Short ribs also !!! Wish I had some extra $ to send. Maybe later on I will. Aloha from Denver, Co.
Subscribed and binge watched your vlog food adventures in preparation to our trip to Oahu. Time to knack attack. You guys should setup a walking food crawl of Oahu grindz since Amanda have a background in tourism. Appreciate and enjoy not only the foodie spots but for educating me about Hawaii culture.
Been watching you guys for a while now. Love the content. We're here now visiting my in-laws. And I finally get to try all the places I've been watching you guys sample. Gonna try the prime rib in hauula tomorrow and then Gieb cafe on Wednesday. Can't wait to get my grind on lol
OMG! Guys My mouth watered all the way through that video...my absolute favourite is Pancakes (waffles not so bad either) but that chicken Felix was chowing down looked amazing too. This is most definitely going to be on my list when we return to Hawaii. More brunch Video's would be awesome...Oh and bakery's, I too Amanda love sweet things as well xx
I have been to Oahu 8 times and have never ate here. We spent two months there last year we rented a condo and would walk to Safeway to buy groceries and would see this on our way . I will have to try it next time
Love those Pipikaula. I’m here to stay, so keep your delicious videos coming. For now the only way I can support your channel is by viewing your videos again and again. Thanks Amanda&Felix😘
I just left Hawaii yesterday and Helena’s was on my to eat list but I didn’t know they were closed Sat-Mon and I was sooooo sad!!! 😢 we were all over Oahu, wished we could’ve bumped into you guys. Aloha🤙 from Sacramento ❤️
We really enjoy your videos. We live in New Zealand have been here for 30 years now. I'm originally from Hilo and my husband is from Maui. We love Hawaiian food and have never eaten at Helena's, but we will now on the next trip to Hawaii. FYI: wrong spelling pipi kauila and haupia. Please keep the videos coming. Aloha, Linda and Robin
Great video!…lomi lomi salmon usually uses salted salmon it was brought in from the whaling 🐳days salted salmon and cod than later the Portuguese brought bacalao with onions and tomatoes so it ended up with salt salmon and onions and tomatoes I think because the cod got over fished and not available…squid luau is actually octopus 🐙 but called squid luau🦑strange but that’s what people say…
You gotta try Young's Fishmarket in the Dillingham shopping center in Kalihi by Waikamilo. They have great customer service, awesome Laulaus either fish, chicken, or pork, char siu, poke, succulent Kalia pig, and my favorite (when I was younger) the roasted turkey tails. They have seen onion and chili pepper water and other side pupus too. I think Helena's is good, but I grew up on Youngs for years and just love the food. Parking is easy, and you got other places to eat too if you more th an Hawaiian food.
You pronounced my name correctly. Lol, yes it can be a bit tough or just keep it short to “Sith” or LorSith 🤪😊. Halena’s my go to Hawaiian food. I need to visit the place soon. Thanks for featuring them. Lived in Thailand, Iran, Nebraska and now Hawaii for many decades.
We're lucky to experience Helena's last April. Yes, the BEST Hawaiian food! Too bad they close on weekends because we want to eat there before we go home but unfortunately they're close
Aloha Amanda and Alex!!! I love your videos!!! mahalo for taking us all on your journeys!!!! .. missing the kine grinds but lucky I can cook some of them. I do have a question, on your journey to show us all the ono grinds, I never see any Kim Chi... Is there a difference in the taste of the Kim Chi from the Chinese, Japanese and Korean? I went and bought some at the H Mart and it taste different from the The Kim Chi I get at the 99 Ranch Market. Mahalo!!!

ALOHA from NJ!!!
Great video, I have watched a few other videos of Halena's, I like yours, because WE all enjoy you guy'z !!!. It`s on our list for next week, one of three places we're going to knock out first thing and some ahi and spicy tuna maybe from Tamashiro market since it's almost around the same area(Palace Saimin, Liliha bakery). Felix, you mentioned Manapua man while having your Rootbeer float. Where is a good place for some good Old manapua? Thanks for ALL your videos, we are going to grind when we get there. I have a couple friends from the Makiki and Pauao area. MAHALO guy'z🤙🏾

Mahalo for the support Cameron🤙🏼 Hope you enjoy!
Subscribed and binge watched your vlog food adventures in preparation to our trip to Oahu. Time to knack attack.
You guys should setup a walking food crawl of Oahu grindz since Amanda have a background in tourism.
Appreciate and enjoy not only the foodie spots but for educating me about Hawaii culture.
Been watching you guys for a while now. Love the content. We're here now visiting my in-laws. And I finally get to try all the places I've been watching you guys sample. Gonna try the prime rib in hauula tomorrow and then Gieb cafe on Wednesday. Can't wait to get my grind on lol
Awesome! Hope you enjoy your stay with family and all the ono grindz here! Mahalo for watching and supporting🤙🏼
OMG! Guys
My mouth watered all the way through that video...my absolute favourite is Pancakes (waffles not so bad either) but that chicken Felix was chowing down looked amazing too. This is most definitely going to be on my list when we return to Hawaii. More brunch Video's would be awesome...Oh and bakery's, I too Amanda love sweet things as well xx
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! We’ll be there soon and secretly hope we’ll run into you. My 12 and 7-yr old are your fans :)
Mahalo for supporting Miriam and ohana🤙🏻
I have been to Oahu 8 times and have never ate here. We spent two months there last year we rented a condo and would walk to Safeway to buy groceries and would see this on our way . I will have to try it next time
You definitely gotta try!!😋😋😋
Love those Pipikaula. I’m here to stay, so keep your delicious videos coming. For now the only way I can support your channel is by viewing your videos again and again. Thanks Amanda&Felix😘
That's more than enough and we appreciate the support! 🙏💕🤙 and yes, pipikaula be kaulling me! 😅🤤
I just left Hawaii yesterday and Helena’s was on my to eat list but I didn’t know they were closed Sat-Mon and I was sooooo sad!!! 😢 we were all over Oahu, wished we could’ve bumped into you guys. Aloha🤙 from Sacramento ❤️
Awww! It's easy to miss out on Helena's during vacation, next time you'll get to try it!🤤 Mahalo for watching and supporting from Sacramento🤙🏼
Oh man. I miss their butterfish collars...
will be in oahu in a few days. Loving all the vlogs! Amanda is so pretty! Greetings from Los Angeles. Can't wait to touch down!
We really enjoy your videos. We live in New Zealand have been here for 30 years now. I'm originally from Hilo and my husband is from Maui. We love Hawaiian food and have never eaten at Helena's, but we will now on the next trip to Hawaii. FYI: wrong spelling pipi kauila and haupia. Please keep the videos coming. Aloha, Linda and Robin
Great video!…lomi lomi salmon usually uses salted salmon it was brought in from the whaling 🐳days salted salmon and cod than later the Portuguese brought bacalao with onions and tomatoes so it ended up with salt salmon and onions and tomatoes I think because the cod got over fished and not available…squid luau is actually octopus 🐙 but called squid luau🦑strange but that’s what people say…
When u guys wen buss out da squid luau... my mouth literally watered up.. loving dis channel 🤙
My mouth watering right now!!🤤🤤🤤
You gotta try Young's Fishmarket in the Dillingham shopping center in Kalihi by Waikamilo. They have great customer service, awesome Laulaus either fish, chicken, or pork, char siu, poke, succulent Kalia pig, and my favorite (when I was younger) the roasted turkey tails. They have seen onion and chili pepper water and other side pupus too. I think Helena's is good, but I grew up on Youngs for years and just love the food. Parking is easy, and you got other places to eat too if you more th an Hawaiian food.
We had a bad experience long time ago..we definitely need to revisit them the next time we get cravings! 🤙
More bloopers pleeeez!
U guys make me laugh ! 😂
Definitely more bloopers to come! 😅 we're too clumsy to film a perfect take 😂
Helena's is top of my list when coming to Honolulu next week
You pronounced my name correctly. Lol, yes it can be a bit tough or just keep it short to “Sith” or LorSith 🤪😊. Halena’s my go to Hawaiian food. I need to visit the place soon. Thanks for featuring them. Lived in Thailand, Iran, Nebraska and now Hawaii for many decades.
Yay! So glad we pronounced it correctly! Mahalo for your support Sith🤙🏻

We're lucky to experience Helena's last April. Yes, the BEST Hawaiian food! Too bad they close on weekends because we want to eat there before we go home but unfortunately they're close
It’s hard to get a table too! take out in the park is hard to beat though 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@AmandaFelixEats thank you guys for replying your fans. I'm waiting for your review to another one of my favorite, uncle Clay's house of pure Aloha
Aloha Amanda and Alex!!! I love your videos!!! mahalo for taking us all on your journeys!!!! .. missing the kine grinds but lucky I can cook some of them. I do have a question, on your journey to show us all the ono grinds, I never see any Kim Chi... Is there a difference in the taste of the Kim Chi from the Chinese, Japanese and Korean? I went and bought some at the H Mart and it taste different from the The Kim Chi I get at the 99 Ranch Market. Mahalo!!!
"cho-cho lipping" 🤣
😆😆😆 Only locals would know🤙🏼 Cheee!
