Is there any places I should have went to that didn't make this list? And Correction, I spelled Pokai Bay wrong as #1 and put Pokay Bay (sorry) but it shouldnt confuse anyone on finding it.Aiea Bowl is in Aiea, not Pearl City😊 I should sleep more before editing fhe final touches😁 I also do know that Button Up Cafe and Aiea Bowl is outside of West Oahu but heck.. I really like those places😋🤙
Thank you for coming out West Side, particularly Waianae. A couple of places you should try next time.. Saturday Morning Waianae Farmers Market at Waianae Mall has some Ono Food stands....My personal favorites: 1. Chinatown Omelets & Bread Pudding in the back corner of the Market, and 2. Filipino Food Stand that has Banana Lumpia (Turon), Chicken Skewers and the Pancit plates, also 3. Purple Yam Tapioca at the table booth just across from the Omelet place. On Friday lunch time has 808 Puffs Food Truck up towards Makaha (if your headed North its on the beach side) their Deep Fried Spare Ribs are as awesome as their Coco Puffs. Also, in the same parking lot as Country Side Cafe, try T8ste Buds, their nori tacos are da bomb... and try the Kalo Bombs right next door to T8ste Buds.
@SeanKaleponi So I never know what to call where Pearl City/Aiea is located. I'm sure Waianae and Nanakuli consider PC and Aiea "Town side" but I know "Townies" don't think we are "Townies". 🤣 Maybe we are Mid-Townies? "Southwesterners?" LOL! I used to call Pearl City/Aiea, "Wanna-Be Townies" - but I think my Pearl City neighbors would be offended. We are our own unique area. We should have our own name. Hahaha.
Aloha Nalowaiian!! The owner from F and M is awesome!! Glad to hear he's a giving man on top of making ono food and being nice🤙👍 I appreciate you sharing
My favorite UA-cam channel! I wish you were around in the 90's when I worked for the airline. Used to go to Hawaii for t-shirts and food 2-3 times a year. Now that I am in assisted living I live my Hawaii dreams through you and Nhi! Mahalo Sean!🤙🤙🤙
Aloha Randy!!! Mahalo for your kind words!! I'm glad that we can bring some memories of your time here in Hawaii and I like hearing about the past times. Glad you're in a place with good care🤙👍 your message def made my day😁
You talked about Zippy's. It was bold but honest. I think that is why people love you. A man's integrity worth more than anything else. I have visited Zippy's about two years ago and discovered the fried chicken was not fully cooked ("raw"). I was afraid of getting sick on my vacation. Although they refunded me, seriously who wants to eat raw chicken. RESPECT!
Oh no Min!:) sorry about your Zippys experience. I never had anything uncooked.. I just saw the portions get smaller and the prices skyrocket over the years. So I had to say it. And not one person in the comment section disagreed. Mahalo for the respect 👍🤙
Just wanted to say hey from me and my fiancé, we ran into you on Waikiki beach and it was great to meet you after watching all your videos for almost two years, keep grinding with the videos they are a big inspiration for a lot of people! Aloha and mahalo!🤙🏼🌈🏝️
Aloha Harrison and Destiny! It was nice to run into you while running the beach!! Thanks for watching the channel and I hope you're having a great time here on the island. I appreciate you keeping your word and leaving a comment 🤙👍Have a good weekend😁
Aloha! Thanks again for bringing the West Side to light! So different and homey - I miss it so much. Hope the little one (and mama!) is doing well - please keep us posted! Aloha!
Aloha Terry!!! Mahalo and I'm glad you enjoy watching the videoon Westside eats. Nhi is doing fine and so is the little one. Have a great rest of your week!👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Thanks Sean! And, we watch you to see what's good on the island! lol. We'll be at the Aualni for a short stay with the sisters in a couple weeks, then in Dec for a longer stay with the fam.
Yessah……..definitely family and foods. All fave snack on a Shave Ice YUM! Missed the Ox Tail soup last time, will come early next time, everything on the menu is pretty good. Those are some amazing bar foods. All local coffee places serve awesome coffee. Thanks Sean&Nhi for sharing.😘😘
Aloha Honu677!! It's always good hearing from you!👍🤙 the Shave Ice was amazing at F and M and I loved the Oxtail Soup. Island Vintage is def my fav. Mahalo for watching🤙👍😁
Our family loves the f & m snack shop in Waianae. The snow ice is amazing with fruits and candy, and their dried seeds are a must and remind me of my youth. We go to this shop weekly.
Aloha Sweety!!! Your family makes good choices!! Mahalo for sharing that you go there and all the items you like. I really enjoy it and will get the dried seeds the next time. Have a great week🤙👍
Awwww thanks Kristy!!! You are awesome and we appreciate you purchasing our merchandise also!!! Hope you enjoy the video along with the food you're already eating 😁👍🤙😋
Your tour was right on for here. F&M snack shop is a must for all your snack needs. They are so nice there. That special sauce, everyone tries to bring back Andy's/Byron's sauce😊. Mahalo for coming out and pointing out our great eats here. God bless🤙
Aloha Carol!!! Awwww we really appreciate your comment! F and M Snack Shop.. yes there so nice there and good treats and snacks. And I love that sauce. Have a great weekend 👍🤙
Sean, awesome reviews as always! As I have mentioned in the past, you are the #1 Hawaiian food critic that my wife and I follow. Your reviews have always hit the bullseye and never miss. Thank you so much for your continued content... There is one place, I am sure that you have heard of: Ululani’s Shave Ice, in Pearl City. They originated on Maui, but are now here in Oahu. Please check it out! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Aloha Darius!! Mahalo for your donation!! Every dollar goes back to the channel!! And my wife and I appreciate your kind words. I def learn from the others too. And I always tell ppl.. Just my personal opinion on the food😋 Have a good week and please tell your wife we said hi👍🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi!🤙🏽 Thank you for an amazing, informative and highly entertaining video! And for showcasing cities in and near the west side. I definitely want to try The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl. The oxtail soup and desserts looks delicious. I commend you for your honest opinions and for keeping it real throughout your video!! Mahalo! 🤩👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
Awww Mahalo Liz!! We try our best to keep it real and be honest!! Soo much good local eats on the Westside. Hope you're able to try some of these foods soon!!!♥️👍🤙
Hi Sean, we discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and have seen all your videos. Please post more often we need more Aloha. 🤙 it’s cold in Toronto. Hope to run into you in Hawaii!🏝️
Aloha Tony from Oahu to Toronto!! Mahalo for watching and yes.. we will try make more videos. Just that it's not a full time job but hopefully one day👍🤙 If you see me.. please say hi🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi!! Wow…just wow!! So many ono grindz. Definitely agree that life IS about 2 things: 1) Taking care of your family 2) Eating good Perfectly said!! Our list is NEVER ENDING at this point and there’s never enough time or stomach space to fit them all in. Definitely a good problem to have but just feeling FOMO when we can’t get to some of these amazing spots! Mahalo nui for the foodilicious adventure as always!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽 P.S. We’re trying to squeeze in the pork belly and the shave ice for sure!! 😋 Will be sure to ask for rice for the pork belly too!! 😂
Aloha Michelle and Jose!!! Haha that is what life's about!! And So much to eat everytime you guys come here!!! Well get together and eat up soon! There will be room for Pork Belly and Shave Ice for sure:)
I really like all your shirts! Your channel came across my timeline. I have many places to try from watching, ill be moving to Hawaii next summer can't wait.
Aloha Blumagi! Mahalo and shirts are for sale too on my merchandise shop listed in the description 👍🤙 Wishing you a smooth transition here next summer. You'll love it🤙👍♥️
Aloha Sean 🤙 36:29 Moani Island Bistro and Bar is also in the International Market Place in Waikiki, we have this on our list bc we are staying right next to it ! 37:11 And No No No No , don’t give up your day job 🤣🤣 (I can’t sing either 🤣🤣) Cheers Rod and Gemma 🤙
Aloha Rod!! I didn't even know they had a Moani Bistro Bar in Waikiki!! I liked it in Kapolei so def worth going too! And I was honest about becoming a singer if could. Lol. I guess I'm destined to vlog food.🤣🤣 wishing you and Gemma a great time here soon🤙♥️
Oh man, those fries!!! The Hurricane Chicken looks amazing and I'm a BIG fan of the mac salad. And the ASMR crunch did me in. Wow, that is a thick burger. On the mainland, you have to pay upwards of $15 for a burger that thick. And I need to try that Cookie Butter Shake!!! That shave ice had everything I love on it. Did you finish that ALL? WOW, and a swag bag!!! You definitely rate! I'm definitely trying the ox tail soup. That's one of my favorites. (poor Zippys) Lemon? Strawberry? I'll take both. I just learned a new word - "Waha". And what makes that dessert even better is that it's PURPLE!!! DANG, I always end up eating SO MUCH after one of your videos. Mmmmm, ribs!! Ribs and tots. I'm in. I'm moving to Oahu to be your assistant, JUST to finish any food you don't. Minasa looks amazing. I have to eat there!!! I always copy, cut and paste your restaurants into my suggestions by you so I am ready on my next trip. Oh man, I want those Ube Churros. Disneyland WISHES they had churros like that. Don't worry about not golfing. It's just men in funny pants walking. Who needs golf when you have poke. NOW, I have to find a local restaurant with good pork belly. Not easy in Southern CA. The loudness is from all the beer they drink while golfing. Oooooh, the kim chi fries look so delicious. La Kalbi, I like the burnt parts and the fatty pieces. Your wife gets the best shots of the foot. I'm watching and my stomach is GROWING. The Moani is my vibe!!! And I'lll take the Lava Flow! Ahi Nachos???? MY waha wants that and the bao burgers. I can't sing either, so it's a good thing we keep the drinks non-alcohol, cause after one beer, I will TRY to sing, and NOBODY wants that. Blue and purple shave ice? That's MINE. The first meal I had on my first trip to Hawaii was a Loco Moco. I was hooked. Okay, now off to over feed myself . . . . . . .
Aloha Peter!!! I always appreciate hearing your detailed thoughts about each food ! And yes.. you can be there to assist any food I don't finish. But I usually finish it because I only film at the max.. 2 places a day and that's all I eat. So I'll just buy you a plate🤙😋 I'll def have to try the food in Southern CA. Hope you're able to visit the islands soon and try all the foods. Mahalo for always supporting us🤙👍😁😋
Awesome job Sean and Nhi!! That's cool you guys went to Pokai Bay and I love the F and M Snack Shop. I have family in Waianae I would visit and we always hit up those places. Thanks for exploring places I haven't seemed vlogged yet👍🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi! Wow, what a compilation of all the great eats on the Westside! All great recommendations for sure! You are so risky eating that shrimp. Hope you had some Benadryl nearby LOL. Take care and have a great weekend!
Aloha Misty!! Mahalo for watching and so much more places I wanna explore , more so in Waianae!🤙 and I did have a sugary soft drink in hand, just in case🤙🤞 Have a great week. Awesome to see your channel growing fast😁
That ube stuffed french toast is awesome. N we totally love minasa churros and db and island Vintage. We get their kimchi rice a lot. And I love the throwback footage!
Aloha Sean and Nhi!! Wow!! What a vlog!! You coming to the Westside is definteky something I dont see often here! I will def hit up Pokai Bay, F and M Snack Shop, and Minasa first. Mahalo for the tips! And killer drone shots by the way!
Aloha you three hope all is well with you thank you so much for another great episode and delicious food all the love and support from Monterey California the Ramos Family......
Awww thanks Nele!!! I glad you had a great time at Aiea Bowl and that you had the ono food there. I appreciate you sharing with me. Have a good weekend🤙👍😁
DUDE I just woke up , seen your video up and decided on a different breakfast - lettuce covering a medium saucer = plate - about 1 inch of rice covering that 3 extra large eggs sunny side up = yok still runny - not just a few peaces of bacon but 3 layers covering entire plate - diced tomatoes covering entire plate - Finely Minced celery covering entire plate - guacamole Covering Entire plate - with some cantaloupe in peaces scattered all over and a LITTLE Hit Sauce - About to Dig In !!!! WOW - First Bite = Yummmmm !!!!!! Thanks For the Inspiration - otherwise i would had never did this - But For ME - This is Good !!!! Nice TALL Glass of Milk ..... Thank You !!!
Yum-o...I just gained 10 lbs watching your video! Can't wait to eat my way through the West Side next time I visit Oahu! Thanks for another great video!
Aloha Vivian!! Mahalo for watching..it's worth 10 lbs too so that's why I jump roped at the end. Lol. Please enjoy the Westside eats when you do come here. 🤙👍♥️
It's been a while since I've been to Pokai Bay. Def need to visit again soon. My go to at The Alley is the pork chops with their gravy. Yum! Daniel's fave is their kalbi. Island Vintage is my fave too! I usually get their frozen Caramel Kona Mocha. However, tried Downtown Coffee about a year ago and their 100% Kona Coffee w/ oatmilk is sooo good. Funny thing is I still haven't tried their shave ice yet. When I find myself on that side gotta check out F & M Shop.
Aloha TheDreExperience! Pokai Bay food is soo good!! And def gonna try the pork chops at the Alley!:) Mahalo for sharing your fav foods and drinks. Please tell Daniel we said hi!🤙 and the F and M Snack Shop wa smy fav hidden gem♥️
Aloha Paosion!! Hope you guys stay there again and try F and M Snack Shop!🤙👍 So good and cool I tried the same plate as yours at Aiea Bowl. Still wanna try more stuff👍🤙
can't believe you didn't include coquito's in your west side top 10!! so ono!! also nice to see you got minasa on the list. i met you there last year, but you weren't doing a video there yet. aloha!
Aloha KimCheeLove🤙👍 Coquitos ..I'll def hit up that place later in the future!! Oh yeah.. Minasa.. I went there last year in August.. If you see me again.. please say hi🤙 Have a good week👍
Many thanks to you both for all your recommendations. We are arriving next Saturday from Australia and spending 11 weeks in Kaneohe. We will definitely be trying out a few of your recommendations during our stay. A pity we didn't know of these places when we were there for two months last year, but will enjoy them on this visit.
Aloha Anne from Oahu to Australia!! Awesome you're staying in my hometown of Kaneohe. Please enjoy and glad our channel can help with recs. Have a great weekend👍🤙
Another awesome, informative and entertaining video. You shared a lot of places that are off the beaten path. Maybe locals know about those places but us Mainlanders have no clue🤪 Great content, Sean! Love your videos!
Mahalo for watching!! Not sure what the song is. It was recommended as a music song when I searched for Filipino rap to be added to a scene and I liked it. Maybe to search the words of the song and it might pop up?
Aloha Kenny!!! Hahaha I did tell Nhi that if I get a reaction.. I'll make sure to have the sugary soda drinks near by and just to take a small bite. Lol. Mahalo for watching and hope to see you the next time you're here in Oahu🤙👍😋😁
Great food at the Pokai Bay, wife had the garlic chicken and I had the hurricane chicken it was the bomb! Wife said she wouldn’t talk about me watching UA-cam so much anymore!
Aloha Samsel!! Mahalo for watching and glad that our video helped your wife accept you watching UA-cam more😁 I love the hurricane and garlic chicken!:) Thanks for going to Pokai Bay #supportlocal
Caught you in the wild while you were working last week haha, you seemed busy so I didn’t say hi but just wanted to say thanks for the videos! My wife and I binge watched your videos in preparation for our trip, keep it up man!
Aloha Ant!! You can always say hi.. even if I'm at work. No problem. And please tell your wife we said thank you for watching our videos. Enjoy your Oahu trip soon🤙👍
Amazing foods from the Westside. Glad I live so close to so many of these places. That lemon crunch cake is my fave from Aiea Bowl.Waianae has some hidden gems for sure! Lol Button Up Cafe Eyes filter freaked me out! Lol. Nhi was so worried about you eating that shrimp. I am sure she was thinking..."Should we go Queens West or Pali Momi if Sean has an allergic reaction?!" Hope Nhi is doing well.👋🏻 Hi Nhi! Ok. Im going to finish watching the video but Im sure the rest of the places you visited are going to be just as good. How many days did it take to go to all these places?
Aloha TitasMom!! I love the lemon crunch from Aiea Bowl😋 and the eye filter, Nhi said to leave it. We would know if ppl are paying attention if we did one thing out of the norm for a second. Lol. And yeah.. well I've actually eaten crab on accident in a salad. As long as it's a small portion.. and I have sugar drinks nearby, I'll be fine:) and since we don't come out with videos often. We usually take our time and hit up 2 places per day maximum. So maybe 5 or 6 days total of filming spread throughout time🤙👍 Mahalo for always supporting us👍
saw you running along Kapiolani beach on Thursday!! wanted to say hi but you had earbuds in lol great to see you in public after watching your vids for awhile now!! keep grindin :)
Aloha Aze!! Aww it's okay to say hi.. even when I'm running. I would have stopped. I enjoy meeting our viewers. Hope to see you on my next run there. Have a great weekend🤙👍
Hi Sean & Nhi! Another onolicious video! That shave ice at F & M looked amazing! Can't beat that price! Island Vintage shave ice is one of my favorites. Nice to know there's another location. I'll have to try that honey latte! Can't wait for your next video! My go to guide for good eats! Going in October & got hubby the I'm Salty shirt. We both plan on wearing the t-shirt to further support your awesome channel!
Aloha Lisa!!! It means the world to us that you support our channel and get our shirts!! I saw that you bought 2 more. We will def cash out on our merchandise (we haven't yet) and use it when our baby comes into this world👶🌍 I hope you're able to check out F and M and Island Vintage Coffee!! Please tell your husband we said hi and thank you for always supporting us🤙👍😁♥️
@SeanKaleponi Yup! Had to order another one for me! Been working really hard on my weight loss. Maybe we can meet you guys in March. I think you will be busy taking care of Nhi & baby Kaleponi! Best wishes to the both of you & I always look forward to your videos even though it makes me hungry!
Hi, awesome live video on food. I enjoyed it do you like roasted cook rabbit. I heard it's good. My cat Benjamin loves eating roasted rabbit. We both love your UA-cam channel have a great day see you next video 😊
Aloha Michelle!! Please tell Benjamin we said hi and we appreciate all your support. I haven't tried roasted cook rabbit. But I am open to try it since I am a world traveler. Take care and hope all is well😁👍🤙♥️🤗
ah...Sean, I needed this so much. I can only watch your old videos so many times 😎 Just kidding. Hope all has been well with the pregnancy and all. As usual, it is a great video. But how come you did not do any hiking this time? You are still too young to just eat good food. lol I would like to see West Oahu 2 including good hiking like the Olomana. Inspire us! F&M Snack Shop is a must. I will try it my next annual Oahu trip in Jan. I suck at bowling, too but that Oxtail soup.. is that better than the one at Lahaina Bakery?
Aloha MinC! Eventually I will do a 20 Things to Do and Eat in West Oahu but I would have to do 2 painful hikes on the Westside. So I might do the list next year. The F and M Snack Shop is truly a gem and the Oxtail soup is soo good🤙👍😋
Aloha Sean!🏝🐂I love oxtail. What is the cost of the oxtail soup?🐂I was hanging out all over the West side of Oahu in the 1990s.🍨It was completely different back then, but the great thing was all parking was free and there was never a wait to go anywhere.🍍🌺🏝
Aloha Blaze!! Please don't quote me.. but I think parking on the Westside is free since I never had to pay for parking anywhere. I think I put the price of the Oxtail in the video. I think the Westside is the one side that changed the least over the years although of course there has been changes. Hope you're able to visit Oahu soon🤙👍 Mahalo for watching
Yummmyyyyy such amazing food as always… that ube French toast looks WOWWWWWW! As always your drone footage is 🔥 fire… so good! And the Ko Olina lagoon footage .. sweet .. now I know for next time where to go so I don’t get in trouble😂. Never tried ox tail soup but it’s looks pretty good! I was a bit nervous and skeptical with you eating that shrimp with a shellfish allergy!!!!! 😳 Still so sad they closed the Island Vintage in Ko Olina 😢 There is nothing better in the world than to be in Hawaii with good food and getting a Shaka 🤙 from a local and hearing cheeeehooo !!! ❤
Aloha Lori!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel. The Ube French Toast was amazing!! And yeah.. you can be right outside of Koolina and shouldn't be too mich of a problem👍🤙 And thanks for your kindnwords. The Aloha spirit and vibes from the locals and good food is what it's all about for me🤙👍😁 Hope all is well and that youre recovered from Norway👍🤙
Hey Sean & wifey, what do u highly recommend from Hawaii da Oahu island? My husband & I are here for 2 more days & wana taste some local food before we leave back to South Texas. Thanks. We love watching ur channel & food video's lol.
@SeanKaleponi OMG thank u so much I'll try it out before leaving back to Texas tomorrow. Enjoy & love all ur videos. Hope u, wife, n baby r doing well too. Aloha! Thanks alot.!
Hey Sean! Just recently was in Africa, too! I neva see you! LOL! Anyway, loved all of your choices! But you know what I liked the best? That you also feel Zippy's is not that great. I agree! When I say that, people think I'm crazy! But it's true...higher prices, smaller quantity, and it's just not that good anymore. I give it points for convenience (many outlets) and consistency (food is the same at every location), but that's it.
To those out side Hawaii, if you plan on visiting the West Side of Oahu, just keep in mind that it is one of the most crime ridden spots on the island. If you have a rental car, make sure you leave nothing in it when venturing outside the car. Even at that, your car may be broken into or vandalized. Make sure you have no valuables on you like jewelry, cameras, Iphones, or anything which thieves will want to target. If confronted, do not try to fight. People out there have a habit of carrying weapons including pew pews. Other than that, have a good trip.
Stayed near Ewa Zippy's this last winter. Had not been for 8 years. Yup, smaller portions, higher prices and mediocre quality. Sadly true. Love your vids.
Uh, oh. Whoever talks stink about Zippy's is gonna get bachi. Go get some salt. 😂 I drove my family to Las Vegas for a Zip Pack and were we disappointed. Thank you for your honesty. Great 10 Eats review!
Aloha Alan!! Oh Im gonna try the Zippys in Vegas just because. Hope all is well and yeah.. I felt that way about Zippys for a while and lots of locals said the same thing. I say it because I know they can do better if they wanted too but they rely heavily on the name they established. Mahalo Mahalo always supporting our channel👍🤙.
Is there any places I should have went to that didn't make this list? And Correction, I spelled Pokai Bay wrong as #1 and put Pokay Bay (sorry) but it shouldnt confuse anyone on finding it.Aiea Bowl is in Aiea, not Pearl City😊 I should sleep more before editing fhe final touches😁 I also do know that Button Up Cafe and Aiea Bowl is outside of West Oahu but heck.. I really like those places😋🤙

Also, in the same parking lot as Country Side Cafe, try T8ste Buds, their nori tacos are da bomb... and try the Kalo Bombs right next door to T8ste Buds.
Oni Onoz is my late night stop. Waianae Korean BBQ, portions are awesome, food is ono and you cannot beat their prices.
Also, not sure if you guys already covered Kountry Kitchen in Ewa. Probably my fav breakfast spot this side of the traffic jam.
@SeanKaleponi So I never know what to call where Pearl City/Aiea is located. I'm sure Waianae and Nanakuli consider PC and Aiea "Town side" but I know "Townies" don't think we are "Townies". 🤣 Maybe we are Mid-Townies? "Southwesterners?" LOL!

Aloha Poke!
They toss the poke in whatever sauce you want fresh to order!
Not pre-sauced like all the other spots
That guy from F&M is super cool. He ALWAYS giving something out, either samples or extras on the house. Love that spot
Aloha Nalowaiian!! The owner from F and M is awesome!! Glad to hear he's a giving man on top of making ono food and being nice🤙👍 I appreciate you sharing

Thank you for highlighting places on the west side. We have gone to Mad Bene and Broke Da Mouth based on vlogs but now you have given us more options.
Aloha Dmochi!! Glad you liked Broke Da Mouth and I'm sure you'll like these options too. Mahalo👍🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi!🤙🏽 Thank you for an amazing, informative and highly entertaining video! And for showcasing cities in and near the west side. I definitely want to try The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl. The oxtail soup and desserts looks delicious. I commend you for your honest opinions and for keeping it real throughout your video!! Mahalo! 🤩👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
Awww Mahalo Liz!! We try our best to keep it real and be honest!! Soo much good local eats on the Westside. Hope you're able to try some of these foods soon!!!♥️👍🤙
Gorgeous views of the landscape and wildlife!
Aloha Juice!! I appreciate you noticing. I take pride in thr wildlife and drone shots👍🤙😁
Hi Sean, we discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and have seen all your videos. Please post more often we need more Aloha. 🤙 it’s cold in Toronto. Hope to run into you in Hawaii!🏝️
Aloha Tony from Oahu to Toronto!! Mahalo for watching and yes.. we will try make more videos. Just that it's not a full time job but hopefully one day👍🤙 If you see me.. please say hi🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi!! Wow…just wow!! So many ono grindz. Definitely agree that life IS about 2 things:
1) Taking care of your family
2) Eating good
Perfectly said!! Our list is NEVER ENDING at this point and there’s never enough time or stomach space to fit them all in. Definitely a good problem to have but just feeling FOMO when we can’t get to some of these amazing spots! Mahalo nui for the foodilicious adventure as always!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
P.S. We’re trying to squeeze in the pork belly and the shave ice for sure!! 😋 Will be sure to ask for rice for the pork belly too!! 😂
Aloha Michelle and Jose!!! Haha that is what life's about!! And So much to eat everytime you guys come here!!! Well get together and eat up soon! There will be room for Pork Belly and Shave Ice for sure:)
Loved what was said about Zippy's, so true
Just want Zippys to be like how they were before👍🤙
@@KerryfromPauoa
Ya, dey slippn!
At The Alley, they also have oxtail saimin. Ono'licious!!! Mahalo for taking us on this food tour!
🍍😎🤙🌴🥥🌺🌈
Aloha BraddahBruce!! Always good hearing from you bro. 👍🤙 Gonna check out the Oxtail saimin next time♥️😁Mahalo for always supporting 👍
I really like all your shirts! Your channel came across my timeline. I have many places to try from watching, ill be moving to Hawaii next summer can't wait.
Aloha Blumagi! Mahalo and shirts are for sale too on my merchandise shop listed in the description 👍🤙 Wishing you a smooth transition here next summer. You'll love it🤙👍♥️
So many delicious looking foods. Really making me crave something different and tasty as well as going back to the islands. Love the videos!
Aloha Errk! Mahalo for watching and yes.. please try these eats next time you come here🤙
Aloha Sean 🤙 36:29 Moani Island Bistro and Bar is also in the International Market Place in Waikiki, we have this on our list bc we are staying right next to it ! 37:11 And No No No No , don’t give up your day job 🤣🤣 (I can’t sing either 🤣🤣)
Cheers Rod and Gemma 🤙
Aloha Rod!! I didn't even know they had a Moani Bistro Bar in Waikiki!! I liked it in Kapolei so def worth going too! And I was honest about becoming a singer if could. Lol. I guess I'm destined to vlog food.🤣🤣 wishing you and Gemma a great time here soon🤙♥️
Love your videos and can't wait to see more places. Mahalo
Awww Mahalo Jocelyn!! We appreciate your consistent support!! Just followed you on IG.🤙👍
Oh man, those fries!!! The Hurricane Chicken looks amazing and I'm a BIG fan of the mac salad. And the ASMR crunch did me in. Wow, that is a thick burger. On the mainland, you have to pay upwards of $15 for a burger that thick. And I need to try that Cookie Butter Shake!!! That shave ice had everything I love on it. Did you finish that ALL? WOW, and a swag bag!!! You definitely rate! I'm definitely trying the ox tail soup. That's one of my favorites. (poor Zippys) Lemon? Strawberry? I'll take both. I just learned a new word - "Waha". And what makes that dessert even better is that it's PURPLE!!! DANG, I always end up eating SO MUCH after one of your videos. Mmmmm, ribs!! Ribs and tots. I'm in. I'm moving to Oahu to be your assistant, JUST to finish any food you don't. Minasa looks amazing. I have to eat there!!! I always copy, cut and paste your restaurants into my suggestions by you so I am ready on my next trip. Oh man, I want those Ube Churros. Disneyland WISHES they had churros like that. Don't worry about not golfing. It's just men in funny pants walking. Who needs golf when you have poke. NOW, I have to find a local restaurant with good pork belly. Not easy in Southern CA. The loudness is from all the beer they drink while golfing. Oooooh, the kim chi fries look so delicious. La Kalbi, I like the burnt parts and the fatty pieces. Your wife gets the best shots of the foot. I'm watching and my stomach is GROWING. The Moani is my vibe!!! And I'lll take the Lava Flow! Ahi Nachos???? MY waha wants that and the bao burgers. I can't sing either, so it's a good thing we keep the drinks non-alcohol, cause after one beer, I will TRY to sing, and NOBODY wants that. Blue and purple shave ice? That's MINE. The first meal I had on my first trip to Hawaii was a Loco Moco. I was hooked. Okay, now off to over feed myself . . . . . . .
Aloha Peter!!! I always appreciate hearing your detailed thoughts about each food ! And yes.. you can be there to assist any food I don't finish. But I usually finish it because I only film at the max.. 2 places a day and that's all I eat. So I'll just buy you a plate🤙😋 I'll def have to try the food in Southern CA. Hope you're able to visit the islands soon and try all the foods. Mahalo for always supporting us🤙👍😁😋
Already planning my next vacation to add the eateries that I missed last time. Thank you for this series.
Aloha Allison!! So much more eateries to visit😋 Glad our channel helps. 🤙👍
Going to be visiting the islands in 2 weeks! Can’t wait to spend time on the west side again.
Aloha Dusty! Please enjoy all the Westside grindz in 2 weeks. That's soon🤙👍
Thanks for your videos. I always go back and watch them whenever I want to go eat new things. Oahu has an endless amount of good food to try.
Aloha Josh!!! Mahalo for watching! And yes.. even me living here .. I'm still exploring new food places. Enjoy when you come here again🤙👍

DUDE I just woke up , seen your video up and decided on a different breakfast - lettuce covering a medium saucer = plate - about 1 inch of rice covering that 3 extra large eggs sunny side up = yok still runny - not just a few peaces of bacon but 3 layers covering entire plate - diced tomatoes covering entire plate - Finely Minced celery covering entire plate - guacamole Covering Entire plate - with some cantaloupe in peaces scattered all over and a LITTLE Hit Sauce - About to Dig In !!!! WOW - First Bite = Yummmmm !!!!!!
Thanks For the Inspiration - otherwise i would had never did this - But For ME - This is Good !!!! Nice TALL Glass of Milk ..... Thank You !!!
Hahaha Mahalo James! What a detailed description 🤙👍
Whenever I'm in Oahu, I always have to go to Elena's, The Alley, Rainbow Drive Thru, Leonard's, Zippy's, and the Aloha Stadium.
Aloha SecretAngel! That's some good choices. I love Elena's too👍🤙😋
Nice seeing you last week in Aulani. Good to see you covering the west. Yesah.
It was great seeing you too Manny!! Hope you and your family had a blast on Oahu🤙👍😁
Yum-o...I just gained 10 lbs watching your video! Can't wait to eat my way through the West Side next time I visit Oahu! Thanks for another great video!
Aloha Vivian!! Mahalo for watching..it's worth 10 lbs too so that's why I jump roped at the end. Lol. Please enjoy the Westside eats when you do come here. 🤙👍♥️
I gotta go try out those places you visited!!!!!!!
Please do Sandra and let me know what you think🤙👍😋
I lived in Waianae for a year in 1985 to 1986. Every Friday we went to a little bar and restaurant call the Fogcutters. Best food ever.
Aloha Viclyn!! Always good to jeat about the good ol days! Wish I could see video of Fogcutters🤙👍
It's been a while since I've been to Pokai Bay. Def need to visit again soon. My go to at The Alley is the pork chops with their gravy. Yum! Daniel's fave is their kalbi. Island Vintage is my fave too! I usually get their frozen Caramel Kona Mocha. However, tried Downtown Coffee about a year ago and their 100% Kona Coffee w/ oatmilk is sooo good. Funny thing is I still haven't tried their shave ice yet.
When I find myself on that side gotta check out F & M Shop.
Aloha TheDreExperience! Pokai Bay food is soo good!! And def gonna try the pork chops at the Alley!:) Mahalo for sharing your fav foods and drinks. Please tell Daniel we said hi!🤙 and the F and M Snack Shop wa smy fav hidden gem♥️
Y’all just ROCK😎👍
You rock Birdman🤙👍😋😁
I miss the tasty chicken and galbi combo at aiea bowl!! And that f&m shave ice looked soo goood!! Thanks for always putting up new places to try 🤙🏻
Aloha Paosion!! Hope you guys stay there again and try F and M Snack Shop!🤙👍 So good and cool I tried the same plate as yours at Aiea Bowl. Still wanna try more stuff👍🤙
can't believe you didn't include coquito's in your west side top 10!! so ono!! also nice to see you got minasa on the list. i met you there last year, but you weren't doing a video there yet. aloha!
Aloha KimCheeLove🤙👍 Coquitos ..I'll def hit up that place later in the future!! Oh yeah.. Minasa.. I went there last year in August.. If you see me again.. please say hi🤙 Have a good week👍
Many thanks to you both for all your recommendations. We are arriving next Saturday from Australia and spending 11 weeks in Kaneohe. We will definitely be trying out a few of your recommendations during our stay. A pity we didn't know of these places when we were there for two months last year, but will enjoy them on this visit.
Aloha Anne from Oahu to Australia!! Awesome you're staying in my hometown of Kaneohe. Please enjoy and glad our channel can help with recs. Have a great weekend👍🤙
Another awesome, informative and entertaining video. You shared a lot of places that are off the beaten path. Maybe locals know about those places but us Mainlanders have no clue🤪
Great content, Sean!
Love your videos!
Thanks so much Theresa!! I appreciate your support. Hoping you get to check out some of these places when you visit🤙👍😋
Woah! That looks so good💜
Hey KC!!! So much good eats👍🤙😋
You make me not miss home so much!!
NOT??
Yesssah Sean. Great vid as usual. What’s that song @ 23:55 ?Thx bro
Mahalo for watching!! Not sure what the song is. It was recommended as a music song when I searched for Filipino rap to be added to a scene and I liked it. Maybe to search the words of the song and it might pop up?
Well done you two.. I can’t believe Nhi let you eat that shrimp. Your videos always make miss Hawaii. Time to plan my next trip soon.
Aloha Kenny!!! Hahaha I did tell Nhi that if I get a reaction.. I'll make sure to have the sugary soda drinks near by and just to take a small bite. Lol. Mahalo for watching and hope to see you the next time you're here in Oahu🤙👍😋😁
Yes Please!!!!! Yes Please!!!!! Yes Please to everything great tasty vlog good sir 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Aloha Telawson!! Always good hearing from you!!!👍🤙😁
Great food at the Pokai Bay, wife had the garlic chicken and I had the hurricane chicken it was the bomb! Wife said she wouldn’t talk about me watching UA-cam so much anymore!
Aloha Samsel!! Mahalo for watching and glad that our video helped your wife accept you watching UA-cam more😁 I love the hurricane and garlic chicken!:) Thanks for going to Pokai Bay #supportlocal
Jump rope at the end made my day😎
Thank you. Still jump roping all these years👍🤙
Caught you in the wild while you were working last week haha, you seemed busy so I didn’t say hi but just wanted to say thanks for the videos! My wife and I binge watched your videos in preparation for our trip, keep it up man!
Aloha Ant!! You can always say hi.. even if I'm at work. No problem. And please tell your wife we said thank you for watching our videos. Enjoy your Oahu trip soon🤙👍
Awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mahalo Kapoi!!👍🤙😋
Restraunt Tombo is at Leileihua GC? WOW cool those poke nachos look bomb! 💣
Aloha Jan!! Restaurant Tombo is at the Ewa 360 Beach Club. At the end of a road. So nice there and food is good🤙👍
thanks for reppin' the West side. We are sorta forgotten here 🙂
Awww Mahalo Jimmy!! We love the Westside!! Best Comment yet👍🤙♥️ 😁
Amazing foods from the Westside. Glad I live so close to so many of these places. That lemon crunch cake is my fave from Aiea Bowl.Waianae has some hidden gems for sure! Lol Button Up Cafe Eyes filter freaked me out! Lol. Nhi was so worried about you eating that shrimp. I am sure she was thinking..."Should we go Queens West or Pali Momi if Sean has an allergic reaction?!" Hope Nhi is doing well.👋🏻 Hi Nhi! Ok. Im going to finish watching the video but Im sure the rest of the places you visited are going to be just as good. How many days did it take to go to all these places?
Aloha TitasMom!! I love the lemon crunch from Aiea Bowl😋 and the eye filter, Nhi said to leave it. We would know if ppl are paying attention if we did one thing out of the norm for a second. Lol. And yeah.. well I've actually eaten crab on accident in a salad. As long as it's a small portion.. and I have sugar drinks nearby, I'll be fine:) and since we don't come out with videos often. We usually take our time and hit up 2 places per day maximum. So maybe 5 or 6 days total of filming spread throughout time🤙👍 Mahalo for always supporting us👍
saw you running along Kapiolani beach on Thursday!! wanted to say hi but you had earbuds in lol great to see you in public after watching your vids for awhile now!! keep grindin :)
Aloha Aze!! Aww it's okay to say hi.. even when I'm running. I would have stopped. I enjoy meeting our viewers. Hope to see you on my next run there. Have a great weekend🤙👍
@@SeanKaleponi for sure next time!!!!
Hi Sean & Nhi! Another onolicious video! That shave ice at F & M looked amazing! Can't beat that price! Island Vintage shave ice is one of my favorites. Nice to know there's another location. I'll have to try that honey latte!
Can't wait for your next video! My go to guide for good eats! Going in October & got hubby the I'm Salty shirt. We both plan on wearing the t-shirt to further support your awesome channel!
Island Vintage in Waikiki and Ala Moana tends to be more tourist-driven; Small portions, but great shaved ices with home-made syrups
Aloha Lisa!!! It means the world to us that you support our channel and get our shirts!! I saw that you bought 2 more. We will def cash out on our merchandise (we haven't yet) and use it when our baby comes into this world👶🌍 I hope you're able to check out F and M and Island Vintage Coffee!! Please tell your husband we said hi and thank you for always supporting us🤙👍😁♥️
@SeanKaleponi Yup! Had to order another one for me! Been working really hard on my weight loss. Maybe we can meet you guys in March. I think you will be busy taking care of Nhi & baby Kaleponi!
Best wishes to the both of you & I always look forward to your videos even though it makes me hungry!
Dude! Where do you put all that food!!! Thanks for sharing these places. They all look "Onolicious"!
Haha Aloha Elainea!! All the food was burned off when I jump roped at the end. Mahalo for watching👍🤙💪
All yummy. I hope the shrimp did not affect you. Maybe you can eat crab too. Thanks Sean and Nhi and baby. Cheehoo.
Mahalo!! I accidently ate crab salad and had a reaction but I'll slowly start with the shrimp. Aloha🤙👍
Hi, awesome live video on food. I enjoyed it do you like roasted cook rabbit. I heard it's good. My cat Benjamin loves eating roasted rabbit. We both love your UA-cam channel have a great day see you next video 😊
Aloha Michelle!! Please tell Benjamin we said hi and we appreciate all your support. I haven't tried roasted cook rabbit. But I am open to try it since I am a world traveler. Take care and hope all is well😁👍🤙♥️🤗
ah...Sean, I needed this so much. I can only watch your old videos so many times 😎 Just kidding. Hope all has been well with the pregnancy and all. As usual, it is a great video. But how come you did not do any hiking this time? You are still too young to just eat good food. lol I would like to see West Oahu 2 including good hiking like the Olomana. Inspire us! F&M Snack Shop is a must. I will try it my next annual Oahu trip in Jan. I suck at bowling, too but that Oxtail soup.. is that better than the one at Lahaina Bakery?
Aloha MinC! Eventually I will do a 20 Things to Do and Eat in West Oahu but I would have to do 2 painful hikes on the Westside. So I might do the list next year. The F and M Snack Shop is truly a gem and the Oxtail soup is soo good🤙👍😋
Aiea Bowl...Fried Pork Chop and Lemon Crunch Cake are the BEST!
Aloha Chingwodapigu!!🤙👍 Alwyas good hearing from you!:) Aiea Bowl is awesome👍🤙
Thanks!😀
Mahalo for your donation!!🤙👍😁♥️ George. Money will be used for our future baby coming soon👶 Means alot to us😁
@@SeanKaleponi - wow! That's awesome! Congrats! Very happy for you both!!
Aloha Sean!🏝🐂I love oxtail. What is the cost of the oxtail soup?🐂I was hanging out all over the West side of Oahu in the 1990s.🍨It was completely different back then, but the great thing was all parking was free and there was never a wait to go anywhere.🍍🌺🏝
Aloha Blaze!! Please don't quote me.. but I think parking on the Westside is free since I never had to pay for parking anywhere. I think I put the price of the Oxtail in the video. I think the Westside is the one side that changed the least over the years although of course there has been changes. Hope you're able to visit Oahu soon🤙👍 Mahalo for watching
@@SeanKaleponi Aloha Sean! Oh dang $22.95 for a bowl of soup!🥣That's heck of crazy🤣because that's the price for buffet restaurants here.🤙🏼
Yummmyyyyy such amazing food as always… that ube French toast looks WOWWWWWW! As always your drone footage is 🔥 fire… so good! And the Ko Olina lagoon footage .. sweet .. now I know for next time where to go so I don’t get in trouble😂.
Never tried ox tail soup but it’s looks pretty good! I was a bit nervous and skeptical with you eating that shrimp with a shellfish allergy!!!!! 😳
Still so sad they closed the Island Vintage in Ko Olina 😢
There is nothing better in the world than to be in Hawaii with good food and getting a Shaka 🤙 from a local and hearing cheeeehooo !!! ❤
Aloha Lori!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel. The Ube French Toast was amazing!! And yeah.. you can be right outside of Koolina and shouldn't be too mich of a problem👍🤙 And thanks for your kindnwords. The Aloha spirit and vibes from the locals and good food is what it's all about for me🤙👍😁 Hope all is well and that youre recovered from Norway👍🤙
And yeah.. I don't plan on trying shrimp again. I did feel a little off for a cpl minutes but I was okay. Lol
27:20 had the ube churro for the first time last week, it's sooo good
Mahalo for sharing.! That Ube Churro is 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Sean & wifey, what do u highly recommend from Hawaii da Oahu island? My husband & I are here for 2 more days & wana taste some local food before we leave back to South Texas. Thanks. We love watching ur channel & food video's lol.
Aloha Falanguerra!! Hawaiian food, please check out Waihole Poi Factory in Kaneohe. I have many vids on fold places on the island🤙👍
@SeanKaleponi OMG thank u so much I'll try it out before leaving back to Texas tomorrow. Enjoy & love all ur videos. Hope u, wife, n baby r doing well too. Aloha! Thanks alot.!
I agree with you about Zippys
I agree too!
Aloha Bernie.. I just want Zippys to be like before:)
Hey Sean! Just recently was in Africa, too! I neva see you! LOL! Anyway, loved all of your choices! But you know what I liked the best? That you also feel Zippy's is not that great. I agree! When I say that, people think I'm crazy! But it's true...higher prices, smaller quantity, and it's just not that good anymore. I give it points for convenience (many outlets) and consistency (food is the same at every location), but that's it.
Aloha Spang!! You were in Africa too? Which part? I had a great time there!!! And yeah.. I just want Zippys to be like before. Not too much to ask👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi So I was in Kenya and Tanzania July 26-August 8. We did the safari thing, viewing wild animals and visiting local villages. You?
My wife and I will be in Oahu 9/15/24 & 9/20/24. We'd be delighted to treat you and Nhi to lunch at one of these places.
Aloha wvgman!! Please enjoy your time here on Oahu. I will be working off island during your stay. So sorry. Please tell your wife we said hi👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Thank you. We hope to try some of the places you have featured in your videos. Safe travels and best wishes.
back in jan, Minasa Hawaii had an amazing chicken sandwich, not sure if its on the menu anymore.
Aloha BeachMonkey!! Aww everything is amazing at Minasa! I'll try their chicken sandwich next time🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi i didn’t see it on the menu online, might be a special
Don't forget Queen St Cafe and Grill in Aiea!
I'll check out Queen St Cafe and Grill soon. Mahalo🤙👍😋
Lemon crunch cake at Aeia Bowl ❤
Lemon Crunch is Winnah👍🤙😋
DB Grill 💲💲💲 kimchi fries ✅ steak tacos ✅ fried noods ✅ everything very good. Next time I'd go with fried rice , tacos n fries , whole menu looks 💲
Aloha Multigoodriddance! I'll def try the fried rice and tacis and fries next time. Mahalo for the suggestion👍🤙😋
DB Grill is my go to
Got some good taste there Pat🤙👍😋
I wish this video came out a week earlier, my fiancé and I were in Oahu last week for our anniversary lol
Happy Anniversary to you and your wife🤙👍😁 please check out these places on your next Anniversary 👏👏
@@SeanKaleponi thank you so much!
@@SeanKaleponi congratulations to you and Nhi on the baby! We are hella happy for you guys!
in Kapolei, you should try Gina's (Korean food). Closed on Mondays. Everything is good, but killer killer kalbi.
Aloha Jeff!! I'll def try Gina's. Would love to eat some good Kalbi!! Mahalo for the suggestion🤙👍
To those out side Hawaii, if you plan on visiting the West Side of Oahu, just keep in mind that it is one of the most crime ridden spots on the island. If you have a rental car, make sure you leave nothing in it when venturing outside the car. Even at that, your car may be broken into or vandalized. Make sure you have no valuables on you like jewelry, cameras, Iphones, or anything which thieves will want to target. If confronted, do not try to fight. People out there have a habit of carrying weapons including pew pews. Other than that, have a good trip.
Aloha!! Yes.. I advise people not to park their cars in vulnerable areas and just be cool👍🤙
1.9👍🤑🤙Mahalo
Mahalo🤙👍🤗
🤙🤙🤙YESSAH!!🤤🤤🤤
Haha Romeo! I have to learn to say it like that in Pigeon🤣🤙👍
@@SeanKaleponi 😆😆
My favorite food UA-cam so Hawaiian
Aloha Jord Junior!! Mahalo for your kind words🤙👍😁
Stayed near Ewa Zippy's this last winter. Had not been for 8 years. Yup, smaller portions, higher prices and mediocre quality. Sadly true. Love your vids.
Aloha Leila!! Mahalo Mahalo watching and thanks for reconfirming that I'm not alone with how I feel about Zippys 👍🤙
Uh, oh. Whoever talks stink about Zippy's is gonna get bachi. Go get some salt. 😂 I drove my family to Las Vegas for a Zip Pack and were we disappointed. Thank you for your honesty. Great 10 Eats review!
Aloha Alan!! Oh Im gonna try the Zippys in Vegas just because. Hope all is well and yeah.. I felt that way about Zippys for a while and lots of locals said the same thing. I say it because I know they can do better if they wanted too but they rely heavily on the name they established. Mahalo Mahalo always supporting our channel👍🤙.
