Excellent choice, Lucas! Helena’s has been my go-to for Hawaiian food. Mama was a sweet lady always full of aloha. She remembered each of her repeated customers she really made you feel at home.
Grandma sounds like a phenomenal woman. Bless her x
"I love dem pipis!"
"im sorry?"
LMAO
This show should be on Food Network, it's that good.
Nice video featuring Helena's. I don't care how many dozens of upscale restaurants I've eaten at in Waikiki, Kalihi has the best home style food on Oahu. As of August 2017, the city has announced they'd like to "gentrify" the district and extend the Kakaako neighborhood (just off of Waikiki) to downtown and to Kalihi. The people are worried that these mom and pop institutions will disappear. A lot of people don't want development to creep up this way. I'm not from Kalihi but when I want to eat, that's where you'll find me. Helena's, Alicia;s, Golden City, Tei Shoku, Han Yang, Kikuya, Max's of Manila, Mitsuba's, and Gulick Delicatessens, Kalihi Market for Samoan food, Fukuya Japanese Snacks, Jollibees, Aloha Tofu, Ka Lei Eggs, uku planny ox tail soup eateries, every block you'll find a Puerto Rican, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, etc. restaurant with food that will kick your teeth out, plus waterfront shops, warehouses and wholesalers for fruit, bread from several ethnicities, veggies, poi, meat, pig, eggs, chicken, all in the same district. No, to gentrification!
I am simple man, I see Lucas I click like!
Ty my friend :)
this is a wholesome family show
Ninad Deo I think you're either gay or a personal friend of Lucas.
Nick Smith Sorry to disappoint you but, I'm neither. :) #justafan
DUDE LAY OFF NINAD DEO
I like how Lucas saunters like a cowboy. I could probably pick him out in a crowd from the way he walks. Almost as distinct as the Duke.
I really like the way you introduce the spots that you go to. It really gives me the idea of the place and it's history. KEEP IT UP!
I hope you can visit the Philippines in the future! 😊
And no reply from neither eater nor lucas. Being ignored sure makes my heart ache 😂
+mark murillo wag kang iyaken dito
he will visit Philippines.
thanks buddy
I love when the lady got excited and said "Really? Can I really feed you?!"
Yes, the shortribs are epic. NOT EXAGGERATED AT ALL! LOVE IT!
I wait all week to see lucas!!!!!!!!! Lovvvvvvvvving this hawaii series!!
Even though I have been to Hawaii three times already, I STILL MISSED A LOT OF STUFFS!
One of the best places for Hawaiian food. My father took me there when I was a kid and Helena herself served us.
Lucas back at it again with the best food show on youtube!
Oh, Lucas and Eater team… after this Hawaii season: I must visit! So much really good food! Wow! :D
Do visit! There is so much amazing food their!
Eater there?
I like how Lucas regularly interviews random customers. They're often (not always 😐) quite interesting.
Lots of delicious looking classic Hawaiian food today. Mmm, mmm. 👍👍
This was an awesome episode. Lucas doing it big as usual. Thumbs up.
Make short-ribs out of tofu
Thank You Eater for providing such great content - by content i mean Lucas lol :)
Dining on a Dime is my favorite food commentary series in UA-cam :)
The way how you introduce restaurant and food it's super cool and makes me starving
This is my favourite series on the channel.
I LOVE this place!!
I feel Hawaiian food is a forgotten cuisine. All of this looks so good!
I'm a simple person. I see Lucas in the thumbnail, I press like.
Mai de los Santos
Haha! DM me.
don't ask random pretty girls to message you on the internet, it's weird.
thanks :D
I will stand pat that Lucas needs to be doing 20-30 minute shows.
Wow, looks delicious! Great job Lucas!
Man I love this place.
One of the best presenters on whole UA-cam. Goed gedaan, Lucas
Only halfway through the video, but let me just comment early and say that this episode was GREAT. I read obsessively about food, and yet you managed to dredge up for my viewing pleasure dishes that are unfamiliar and that are thus very fascinating. The backstory and research on the food gave the video nice depth. Like many of the best videos on food, it was like a mini-vacation and totally free via UA-cam.
Lucas and team, another amazing video!!
Lucas Sunbae, you're one of a kind 💕
Love that place !!!
I've eaten at Helena's and the food is so delicious. I would fly back to Hawaii just for Helena's awesome pipkaula.
Eater been showing Kalihi some mad love 🙌🏻
I went to eat here and it really is so delicious esp the pipi kaola(?) the short ribs...definitely a meal to remember for life
been here, love it
This guy is just so natural as a host.
I miss this so much :(
Love these videos on Oahu. So bummed these didn't come out this time last year before I went to Honolulu. I would have loved to hit a couple true authentic places in the 2 days we were there before going to the big Island for a week. We found a couple great local places there on the Kona coast all the way to the northern tip of the island if you need suggestions on the big Island.
I was there and took a picture with the Craig the owner. Very down to earth and nice person. Food is worth the drive out and the wait. Next time I’m out there I’m heading over as soon as the flight lands.
Love Helena's food. The Pipikaula and the beef watercress soup are my favorites.
Is it me or did that big guy behind Lucas look a lot like Samoa Joe?
Helena's is wonderful! If you ever get a chance to eat there try the fried butter fish collar IN GRAVY! It's super tasty... but, then again, everything there is incredibly tasty.
Hi lucas!enjoyed your video.keep it up!
The owner is a Jedi😊 Phenomenal guy...
Lucas: oh i think thats enough food
Waitress: ok i'll bring you another dish
lol love it!
Wish you would talk to the camera. You are a wonderful story teller ❤️
Okay these video videos need over 1 million viewers like now!
this was closed when my wife and i wanted to go. instead we went to onos and it was the best authentic food i ever had.
For anyone interested butter fish is also known as black cod. Its most common uses are in lau lau or the collar's are grilled or fried. On the island that I'm from we call them bat wings but I'm not sure if other islands do to.
I didn't even start the video yet and I hit the like button lol 😋
Love your show! I wanna travel and taste with you!
Spot on review of Helenas! & hands down the best local/Hawaiian food on dis here isle ;)
& just gotta add, the 'dipping of ur pipikaula in tha poi' is the ONE & ONLY way that my daughter will eat poi. I personally don't get it, but what can I say - my daughter agrees w/ you wholeheartedly so I just can't post anything negative about it. Lol.
that luau squid was to die for .-. ugh and the short rib...cant get over the poi though..i wasn't expecting it to be served cold
Helena's Restaurant, best Hawaiian Food Period, I remember going there when they were originally on King Street, no one comes close to the type of Hawaiian Food they serve.
I WAS JUST THERE
Lucas needs his own channel!
hawaii is the best place on earth!
i luv it
Eater please come to South Africa!
Would love to see Lucas on the Food Network...
Needed some corn tortillas.. could have made a few tacos. Cause everyone loves Hawaiian tacos!!
press like before watch the video when comes to my favorite channel
ʻAue!! Lucas you said Helena's Hawaiian Food just fine in the beginning of the video but chopped it up at the closing sentence
Trying some sweet from natural product and after some testy snack from fish it looks like yamy
So, is it just salted before it's dried, or are the ribs marinaded during the process? Also, what kind of seasonings do they use on the ribs? Is it dark soy, light, Chinese or Japanese?
Next time you go there you should get the Opihi. Best thing there.
watch Strictly Dumpling's review on this place.
FYI you eat the fried butterfish whole. I also was never a big fan of poi but, drown it in chili water and eat it with some lomi lomi. game changer.
I've been told that butterfish is similar to, or is black cod.... regarding your meal - no 'lau lau'? that's my go-to hawaiian dish...
when the very first episode of Hawaii I was like their foods look meh and so boring, but then this episode how he tells story and describe the foods make me craving Hawaiian food bad. Excellent job!
I LOVE Hawaiian Mac Salad.
the big secret is the mayonnaise... us locals will ONLY use Best Foods (called Hellmans east of the Missisippi) ==not the low fat, not the one with fancy smancy ones, but the regular Best Foods version !
The quarter cut of onion on the side now that is Hawaiian style.
3:25 dude keeps leaning so much i thought he's gonna fall backwards
Lucas you look soo handsome in that white shirt !
I was eyeing you eyeing the ribs while eyeing the rice, since i'm a filipino
if eater replies to this comment I will watch the video and go sleep of not then all-nighter for me then currently 1:15 Australian time
Lots of requests for comments from us. We feel so popular!
Eater keep Lucas on board and you'll stay that way keep doing what you're doing guys loving the channel def one of the best food channels on UA-cam
Shenade O'Connor in the back
1:09 Is that Bill Murray?
Yes.
They have a special "Bill Murray" table in the back for when he visits.
there was Adam Richman at 1:03
Is that adam richman 1:05
I've never had authentic Hawaiian food before. Any restaurant in NY you guys can recommend? Can't go personally to Hawaii atm, but I'm sure there's a good one somewhere in NY. 😊 Would love to try some. 😊
LifewithAnnaBee - doubt you'll be able to find anything too authentic outside of Hawaiʻi. Maybe in NYC they'll have a local-style restaurant or one of those poke-esque restaurants that have become trendy recently, but in my experience those places don't tend to resemble the real deal very closely. You'd have better chances on the west coast or in Vegas where there are larger Hawaiian populations.
"I love them pipis" 😂
Can someone explain the prices on the menu for me. I'm reading it like it's overly cheap or overly expensive.
dont worry about the prices, Hawaii is expensive. just be happy to get a seat if you make it
$20 - $40 per person depending on what you get and its cash only.
did he say....dry age? NICK SOLARES, GET DOWN HERE, WE NEED YOUR OBNOXIOUS BANTER AND BAD SUITS.
3:23; Lucas finds his long lost brother.
damn this channel is making me crave the restaurant down the road
Gotta try kitchen delight $1.75 breakfast plate
