$40 Vs. $85 Buffet All You Can Eat Buffet in Honolulu, Hawaii! Which one is the best? UNLIMITED POKE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Aloha! The best buffet in Hawaii is worth your wallet and food experience. In this video, we were eating at two popular buffets in Honolulu, Hawaii. Both buffets are very different, but they offer unlimited poke, sashimi, and sushi! 🍣
I'm Sean Kaleponi, and since I'm always hungry, I decided to visit McCully Buffet and 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar in Honolulu. The first buffet we’ll see is the more affordable option, and the following buffet cost twice as much. In my opinion, both buffets offer food and an environment that is worth the price, but which one is best for you?
Also, stay till the end for the firework show that occurs every Friday night!:) Are you ready to eat lots of food? Because my stomach is. Let's go! 🤤🌴

Planning a trip for February '24. Your videos are enjoyable and informative. I want to try both these buffets. You even made Costco look like a worthy stop. Love the input from your mom and wife too. Thanks for the inspiration. It's been 40 years since we have been to Hawaii. Can't wait!

Sean, thank you so much for the great review of 100 Sails. We just ate there on Friday due to watching your video! All we could say was WOW! We have many favorites on Oahu, but now this one is at the top of the list. Our favorite were the salmon skin hand rolls. Onolicious! Can’t wait to try more of your picks.
One of our favorites is Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant. We’ve never had a bad dish.
Aloha Paulapang!! Glad you guys had a great time at the 100 Sails restaurant. And hope you got to see the fireworks too on a Friday:) I'll have to check out the Gokden Eagle Restaurant. Mahalo for the recommemdation🤙👍
Just made a rezzy at 100 Sails for my trip next week! Can’t wait! Thanks for the rec, Sean!
Aloha Jerome!! Mahalo for watching and thanks for writing that comment. Maybe 100 Sails sees it and might give me a discount next time I go. Lol. Enjoy your time there and Happy Holidays🤙🎄😋
Love all the places you guys recommend & review, each time I’m on the island I try something new from your videos & absolutely love it. Thank you for that!
Video idea: A date night/Valentine’s Day video, I’ll be going to Oahu for Valentine’s Day and would love to know where to eat. I trust your opinions on places & i think a lot of people would love to know where to take the special someone on the island.
Mahalo!
Aloha Oscar!! Mahalo, for your kind words!! Glad you enjoy the recommendations and I appreciate you supporting local🤙For Valentines Day, that would be hard to say because I would have to know if your Valentine likes more upscale, a more chill setting, or likes to have a nice take out picnic during the sunset. But I guess I can make a video in the future for different Valentine options. Thanks for the tip and Happy Holidays!🤙😋🎄
First time catching your content! Absolutely love it! Mahalo! Now if only the inter island flights were on time I would fly out to eat at 100 Sails! 🌺
Aloha Jen!! Mahalo for watching and oh no, my flight got canceled this week interisland. I hope that didn't happen to you. Hope you're able to make it here on time and enjoy the local grinds!!:):)
We just came across your videos doing research to hopefully go to Hawaii in November 2023! Love your spirit and enthusiasm! The buffet video made us so hungry!
Aloha Amelia! Mahalo for watching and the food at the buffet was good!!:)👍🤙😋 Hope your able to visit sooner than Nov 2023 and to eat all the foods here. Have a great week👍

Aloha Derek!! Yes, both buffets are good and both different experiences!:) Hope you're able to come back and visit home soon! Happy Holidays to you and your Ohana🤙😋🎄
After watching your vlog, on McCully Buffet, I just had to give a try. Sashimi was fresh and delicious and the marinaded Shortribs was seasoned perfect. I wished they would have more desserts and maybe some of that Korean style potato salad. I did mention to our server that we were there because of your video. Thanks Sean and keep those videos coming. I highly recommend visitors looking for places to eat on the island to subscribe to your channe before thel their vist the island. I'm definitely a fan of you and your wife videos. Keep up sharing, with the world, what Hawaii has to offer.
Aloha Susan!!! Mahalo for watching this channel and for telling family and friends about us. It's the one way this channel can grow. And.. I'm glad you liked McCully Buffet. I enjoyed the Sashimi and I do wish they had more dessert options. I felt like McCully wasn't enough so we had to do a 100 Sails also which had great desserts. Hope all is well and that you get to try more local foods. 🤙😋
Hi Sean, me and my wife watch you all the time. We enjoyed your vlog every time. Im based in Saudi Arabia and visits Hawaii every year to see grand children. More power and God bless you always.
Aloha Joel!! Mahalo for watching and shout out to you in Saudi Arabia!! I was right there in Jordan but would love to visit . Glad you get to see your grandchildren here in Hawaii and hope you visit soon! Mele Kalikimaka 🤙🎄🎅
Aloha !! Adorei o vídeo , já estive na ilha umas 9 vezes e amei Waikiki ❤
Aloha Rita! Sorry, I need translation🤙👍Thanks for watching
Thanks to both you I think we going go and check out the McCully Buffet. The sashimi and the poke is good enough for me and those Korean BBQ meats. We was thinking of the Prince Hotel place but with the 4 of us going be too expensive. Hope you guys go check some more buffet place. We coming down in February and the places we go eat I definitely going tell them was recommended by you guys, Aloha and thanks for the awesome video.
But that porchetta and the fried oyster....would love to try that!!
Aloha Kipo808! Yes, the selection at the McCully Buffet was def good since I can eat the Poke and Korean barbeque all day!) And Im not sure, but I think it cost less at the buffet for the kids at 100 sails. But either way, both are good. And I appreciate you telling the owners when you come here. Enjoy all the local foods with your Ohana when your here! Porchetta was my fav😋 Happy Holidays👍🤙🎄
Mahalo Sean and Nhi , you always bring us such delight with your Best of the Best epic videos 🏁! 😋 By the way , I was wondering how long did it take to edit this video ? You do an amazing job of video editing 📽
100 Sails is on my ever growing list to eat, Wishing you both happy holidays over the Christmas, New Year period 🌴🏖🎄🤙 Cheers Rod 🤙
Aloha Rod!! Mahalo for always supporting this channel! Nhi is the mastermind editor! For these kind of videos, 5 to 6 days. The long videos might take almost 2 weeks because of putting it all together. Depends on our other jobs too. I think we'll eventually make a video about the process of what goes in a video. Thanks for asking. Hope you come to 100 sails and get to eat all the delicious food in Hawaii. Merry Christmas to you in Australia🤙🎄🌈
That kalbi from McCully Buffet looked so scrumptious 🤤 but the crab, crispy roast pork n desserts sold me 😋 100 Sails is definitely on our list now n what a way to end the evening with friday night fireworks 🎆
Thanks Nele for watching and supporting our channel! Yup, the food was good at McCullys but I was really sold on 100 Sails. Hope you check it out soon and please let me know what you think. See you soon🤙🎄😋

The McCully Buffet looked delicious, but 100 Sails looked amazing and worth every penny. YOLO! Thanks for the recommendation.
Aloha Alan! Mahalo for watching!! Both buffets were good and yeah, I would def do a special occasion at the 100 sails, it was amazing!:) Happy Holidays!👍😋🤙
Omgosh thank you!! 😊😊
Aloha Amber!! Mahalo for watching🤙💯👍😋

Aloha TitasMom! Mahalo for supporting!:) and both are good but yeah, for the special occasion I really like the 100 Sails!:) Eggnog Brulee was heavenly! Happy Holidays🤙😋👍

Great videoa as always! Do you know of any good buffets on Kauai? Keep up the great content.
Aloha Joe and thank you for your kind words! I don't know of any buffets on Kauai, but I did 2 Kauai videos and I hope it helps out🤙👍
Made reservations for 8pm tonight all because of your video. Thanks for the review!
Hope you liked the 100 sails last night. Mahalo for watching👍🤙
Thanks for showing the fireworks. I stayed at Hale Koa next door in May. The fireworks didn't start back up until I left.
Aloha Nani!! Mahalo for watching! Yeah, the firework show just started up not too long ago!:) hope you get to come back and watch it. Happy Holidays👍🤙😋
Thats what I'm talking about! The contrast between a cheap and expensive buffet in Hawaii. I love buffets!
Aloha Crucial Thinker!! Mahalo for watching. This figured it would be good to know about the differences between buffets here on Oahu. 😋🤙👍
Nice video, Forgot to search for Buffet at Honolulu, will do it next time
Aloha Peace Bridge! Yes, I would recommend one Buffet during your trips here. Hope you like it🤙👍
I’m so happy I came across your channel 🤗 We moved back to Hawai’i in 2021 after away for 20 years. A lot has changed 😮 glad to see all these places you recommend ❤ Bummed out I became very allergic to seafood in my 40s 😭 Enjoy watching you and your beautiful wife - Hi 👋🏼 Aloha Nui 🌺🤙🏼
Aloha MsMamasan! Mahalo for watching and glad you are back on island. Hope you're able to eat seafood again! Take care and have a great week🤙😁
I gained a few pounds just watching this video.
Haha Kai! Mahalo for watching. You might gain a few more pounds when you go there. Well worth it😋🤙👍
Hey Sean, first of all I think your great and so much fun to watch with your cool personality and you are a wealth of information. Have you done any videos on the big island like Hilo?. Just curious.
Aloha Dean!! Mahalo for watching and I appreciate your kind words! As for doing vids in Hilo? We were suppose to go last week but the storms in Hawaii canceled our flights. But another trip to Hilo and a video will be in the future🤙
Awesome gu😂.love it.😅
Thanks 😅
Good thing you only alergic to shellfish. You can make that up with all the poke and sashimi 😅🤙🏼. And me too…. I don’t waste tummy space on rice and breads at buffets. lol. Those desserts, oh man!! Nhi is a champ keeping up with you!
Mahalo for another great video!! Mele Kalikimaka to you both 🎄🎅🎄
Aloha UrsC! Yeah, I make up with it with Poke and Sashimi for sure. Desserts help too😋 and we choose to eat wisely and stay away from statches. Mele Kailimaka to you as well.!👍🤙🎄😋
Braddah Sean! Another great video! Never knew they had these buffets. Dangerous!!! Lol! I was on the island last week but time was fast for my friend's retirement ceremony. The Ohana and I will be back home in a couple weeks for NYE. Let's go grab shave ice at Mountain Magic or Ice Garden? Aloha and hope all is well with you and the missus. 🤙🏽 -Myke
Aloha Myke!! Only because I was searching for buffets I found them and I'm glad I did. Dangerous because I can't move after eating but I guess that's a good thing. Lol. Shave Ice at Magic Mountian or Ice Garden sounds good. I'll ask Jasmine for your number on IG. Glad you and the Ohana are coming home from New Years. Please tell them I said hi. Merry Christmas bro and Mahalo for always supporting our channel!:)🤙
Shoots! I'll message you on IG. I go on from time to time but Jasmine handles the posts...even the ones with me in them. 😂
Totally LOVE kalbi n unlimited poke!💕❤️Gna have to checkout 100 Sails when I go back to the islands again.
Aloha Basil! Yes, 100 Sails is totally worth it👍🤙😋
Mcully buffet upped their game! Last time I went there was no ribeye, tempura, or spicy bomb inari. Gotta make a visit again soon.
Aloha 9ballprodigy!! Oh glad to know McCully is better than your last time. I know they have new management and we enjoyed ourselves. Hope you go soon🤙😋
Another great video bro 👍when I visited Oahu loved going to Todai not sure if it's still around also Wailana for breakfast I know that's closed even here on kauai not to many old school places around Hamura:s saimin still going 🍜🌺🤙🌺
Aloha Hawnjoe! I was so disappointed when I went to Kauai and Hamuras was on vacation. Lol. Next time and I'll try check out Todais too!:) there's some good old school places still around on Oahu.👍🤙
3:22 - oh wow, although im still watching the video and you showed it super fast, that salmon sushi looks amazing, great quality! ok, back to the video
Aloha Gail!! The Salmon sushi is good there! Def worth the price at McCullys. Mahalo for watching 👍🤙😋
100 Sails would be my choice, it’s pricey but with the varieties and qualities of foods they offer, it’s worth it, even for a lite eater. Thanks Sean&Nhi for another awesome video.😘😘
Aloha Honu67! 100 Sails does have a variety and high quality. Nhi loved the crab legs. I loved the dessert! Hope you're able to go eat there and enjoy! Mahalo for always supporting our channel! Happy Holidays!🤙😋🎄
@@SeanKaleponi Sean my mann. First time to Oahu. Because of this video I gave McCully's a try today. I have to say brotha this place is horrible. Came with the family and everyone was super disappointed. I would tell everyone to steer away from this place.
@Santiago Rodriguez sorry for your experience. I've had ppl tell me the same , but no one has told me a better buffet place for cheaper on Oahu. I think it's good for the price , but it's not 100 Sails good that cost twice as much. Hope you found a better more affordable buffet🤙😋
@@777trader8 I thought the same thing. If you want to waste you're money then be my guest and try it. But I would avoid this place like the plague. Sushi is not fresh, like it's been sitting all day in room temperature and I bet that's how they store it in the back kitchen. Also meats are the same... Sitting in its own blood at room temperature. I had to cooked it very very well done to avoid getting sick. My family and I we're very disappointed. If I was able to rate this place 1 through 5 stars this joint would get negative 20 stars. Avoid avoid avoid.
@@777trader8 no worries. Not a buffet but if you like burgers the fam and I tried "Burgers in Paradise" in Honolulu on the main drag. These were damn tasty 🔥 💣
Happy new year 🎉
Happy New Years Alfred🤙👍😋
You are making me so hungry. I had to see if I have any buffets in my area. I’m new to this part of Florida.
Aloha 205 from Oahu to Florida! Hope your able to visit to try some of our local buffets!👍🤙💯
Alright, Sean let me just say thank you. I came to Hawaii for my aunt's 60th birthday celebration 01.05.23 - 01.11.23, she asked me what would be a good place to celebrate her birthday? Because I saw this video I recommended 100 Sails, I even showed her the pictures online she was impressed. Now we missed the buffet but my point to this is if I had not seen your video I would not been able to leave such a huge impression not only on her face but my grandmother's face as well. We did make it there in time to watch the sunset and took good pictures.
Aloha Charles!! Happy Birthday to your Aunty!! And even though you weren't able to go to 100 Sails. I'm glad you're able to watch the sunset and take good pics. Mahalo for telling me your stories 🤙😋👍
great video😃👍🏼
Mahalo Cawa🤙😋👍
Aloha Sean & Nhi! I love your videos. You are super funny! My hubby and I will be Oahu next month (mid-February). Not sure if you'll read this in time but have you eaten at the Orchids Brunch Buffet? If yes, which do you (and your wife) prefer, 100 Sails or Orchids? Please advise. Mahalo!
Aloha A.C! Mahalo for watching our vids and my wife says hi!:) Enjoy your trip next month and I've never eaten at Orchids but I heard good things about them. But I can recommend 100 Sails esp on a Friday night with the fireworks right after. 👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Okay, no problem. Your video convinced us to make a reservation @ 100 Sails. We're super excited. Also, we'll be trying McCully's too. Mahalo!
Thank you two for the video. When I last visited there, I went to 100 sails too but unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to go to McCully Buffet. However I did pass by it twice. My eyes kept gravitating to McCully’s each time I drove by. Lol 😂 I thought McCully’s Buffet was Scottish. I thought to myself “hmm I’ve never had Scottish buffet. I’d love to try when I return.” Although it’s not a Scottish buffet, it’s fine because I’m Korean. My family and I will be happy to try it next time. We ate at 100 Sails when there were COVID restrictions, so the wait staff had to bring most of our dishes to our table. There were limited amounts of food we could actually get ourselves at the station. Anyhow, we ate so much Dungeness Crabs, prime ribs, crispy Porchetta and sushi.
Aloha Anne!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel! And maybe its a sign now to go to McCully after watching this video:) Yes, it's Korean based with Japanese food too and I think your family will love it!! And I totally forgot about buffets since Covid. I never wanted to deal with restrictions and now there are none so yes, I hope that you get to enjoy McCully and 100 Sails how the way its suppose to be. We wanna go back again and eat all the Porchetta, Meats, and for Nhi, Seafood. Hope all is well and Happy Holidays to you and your family!:)👍🤙😋🎄
Thank you. I hope you, Nhi and your families all have a very Merry Christmas and may the new year bring much happiness and great Vlogs, but most importantly good health all around. We will try to go early next year and we will definitely try McCully’s. 🎄🥳🙏
I also skip to the more expensive items at a buffet. Usually to the carving station and seafood first. I try not to eat the breads, rice , or any fillers that will make me full faster. Gotta get my money’s worth. Oh ya, dessert is a must tho!
Aloha James! That's you and me both! We skip right to the expensive stuff!:)😋 and all those fillers to me are meant for ppl not to indulge on the seafood and meats. But to each its own. And yes, the desserts were soooo good!!:) Mahalo for watching 😋🤙👍
Good comparison! You are right, we went to McCully Buffet and the quality of the seafood and meats were pretty bad so no more for us we rather go to Zippys. The Prince Hotel Buffet is Top Notch but rather expensive but you get what you pay for. McCully Buffet was better when the previous owner Camellia Buffet ran it, it was our go to all you can eat buffet back then but not now.
Aloha Mr. T! I didn't think all the quality of meats were bad. Some decent and some really good. But def worth the price, esp for the Poke!:) I never went to McCully previously but the owner was nice and we don't always run into nice owners. Mahalo for watching🤙
delicious food, love it
Aloha Renee! So much good food🤙😋🤗
Mr. Kaleponi, always a joy to see you in my subscription feed :-) Love local grindz in kaneohe/kalihi/aiea but neva wen try mccully's or 100 sails!! As a poor college student, i think mccully's would be a bit friendlier on the wallet.
Btw, earlier in June, i was on the island visiting family for the summer. I was walking to Long's for some snacks and saw someone that looked just like you, and i thought "Yoo what if that was Sean hahahaha". Got closer and realized it was you!!! Didn't want to intrude and you were already on the way out. Regret not saying hi now and thought I'd let you know LOL. Talk about coincidence bc i was bingeing your channel that whole week. Much love from Cali, may out paths cross again!
Aloha Strood! McCullys and 100 Sails are both good. And I remember those college days when my wallet was very light. Hahaha and I go to Longs quite often! And please don't ever feel like you can't stop me and say hi. We emphasize in the videos to always stop by, it doesn't matter if we're vlogging or not, it will be a joy to meet our viewers! If you see me next time, let's talk. Mahalo for your support👍🤙
100 sails is great! Good comparison. We're not big on mccully but yes def get what you pay for. Try gen and shabuya too. Both ayce n reasonably priced
Aloha Fellow UA-camr! I will try Gen, shabuya, and Ayce!! Thanks for the advice and look forward to your next videos👍🤙😋
Omg. I accidentally drove by the $40 buffet this morning. Very informative.
Aloha Min!! The McCully Buffet is pretty good for 40 dollars. Totally worth it😋
@SeanKaleponi yes. We get live crabs in SF. So the $85 buffet is not for us. Thanks Sean
You're too generous and a nice guy. I went to McCully Buffet today and was disappointed in the quality and variety of food they offered. I went even when friends of mine said there were much better options in the university and stadium areas, but I figured I'd give it a try because of your review.
Aloha Gordo!! I think I made it clear in the video that McCully wasn't the best buffet and some of the foods weren't that good. But its def worth the money to me! I mean, how can you go wrong with unlimited Poke, sushi, Sashimi, and Meats for $40 in Honolulu and free parking? Poke isn't cheap in Hawaii. If your friend can suggest me a place that's cheaper, offers unlimited Poke, and high quality meats, then I would love to hear it. Please let me know in the comment and I'll check it out🤙😋
We need the names of the "better options"
@In Hawaii that's the thing, no one can give me any names (I'm still waiting)
@@hawaiian1234 sikdorak, sura, camellia...
makanalani or plumeria beach house at the kahala if you're looking for something more traditional and in line with 100 sails offerings.
yup, like and subscribed, my friend!
Aloha Paul!! I appreciate it and Mahalo for liking and subscribing 🤙👍
We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and saw the fireworks..next time we'll hit both of those buffetts!
Aloha Ian!! Hope you had a great time at the Hilton and I'm happy they have the fireworks showing again there. Enjoy the buffets when you do come here. Happy Holidays😋🎄🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi! Braaaah...both looked good! I'm only 1/8th kanaka so I'm the weirdo that goes for salad. 🤣 I'm so sorry you're allergic to seafood. Pound some Benedryl and go to town. That porcetta looked soooo good! Mahalo!
Aloha Misty!! Haha you may be 1/8th Kanaka but Full Local and Aloha Spirit to all your viewers!:) Oh and I didn't mean anything by it if you go for salad😂 and my Uncle told me the same thing, he said just eat all the seafood one day, get the allergic reaction, benadryl, then I won't be allergic anymore. Haha.. and yeah, the Porchetta was so good. The skin was my fav part:) I look forward to your upcoming videos. Happy Holidays to you and your son🎄👍🤙
I was also wondering where is the salad, fruit and dessert!
AweSome Video! MAHALO!! 🕊💖🙏🏽🎶🌈🤙🏽
Aloha Siliala!! Mahalo for watching!!😋🤙👍🎄
Major poke craving now aaaaa….
Aloha Sparkz! I know the feeling. I love me some Poke🤙😋👍
Love your video ❤ Just subscribed your channel. ❤ we will visit Oahu next week, during Christmas🎉! Does price Waikiki need to reserve now? The best time is at 5 pm to see sunset? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance😊🙏
Aloha Jane!! Mahalo for watching and subscribing🤙 yes, I would make reservations ASAP because the holidays are busy and the sunset usually happens anywhere from 5pm to 530pm now but please don't quote me on that. Lol. 5pm is the best time to come in my opinion because it's not busy but gets busy later. Happy Holidays🤙🎄😋
Aloha! Thanks for the advice ❤ happy holidays 🎊 🎉
Man I remember as a kid going to this one buffet downtown it was so dam good.
Aloha Surfer Jason!! Glad it brings back some childhood memories 🤙👍😋
Kaika!!! Smith TKD clammate! Yesssssah

Aloha Rosemary! Spreading the Aloha from Oahu to Alabama! And yes, the buffets def broke da mout!:)👍🤙😋 Hope you get to eat the foods soon. Mahalo for watching😋🤙👍
I can’t mix sashimi like you did! Tuna salmon and some other fish all at once.. I couldn’t and wouldnt!
Hi Yannah! Oh, it's all going down the same pipe. 😋🤙👍
I love 100 Sails! The last time we went, was the day after our wedding... we stayed at the Prince Hotel, and ate at 100 Sails. It was so worth the price! If you sign up for their Mahalo Club program, you can get discount at 100 Sails.
BTW, McCully Buffet should've had a soft serve ice cream machine for dessert... did it not have the night you went?
Aloha Alisak!! Glad you had a great time at 100 Sails and Congrats on your wedding!!🤙 and unfortunately the soft serve machine was broken. I would have totally put it in the video🤙
Everything looks so damn good and price is amazing considering the offerings. I have 1 question...what's up with the hot dog @ 11:13??
Aloha Sonder!! Mahalo for watching and we liked the food. With the hot dog, well .. sometimes it's hard to vlog and remember your cooking at the same time while eating. 🤙😁😂😋
9:59 - i agree with your wife, its all about the seafood for me. i love it all, but the seafood is where its at! my hubby would be more into the meats and yes, he does breads, i try not to let him, at a buffet, lol
Aloha Gail!!! Awww I'm glad we have the same mindset and strategy going into the Buffet:) Nhi loves the seafood and I'm like your husband , I go straight for the meats. Good looking out for him with the bread👍🤙
Hey Sean. I was wondering if you have tried the Lunch Buffet at Dukes Restaurant. And if so, what are your thoughts? My wife and I love Dukes here in Southern California Malibu but they don’t have a buffet(at least I never heard of it) like they do in Waikiki.
Aloha Michael! I've eaten dinner at Dukes Waikiki and I wasnt impressed. I think they focus more on the setting and beach view if I'm keeping it real. Just based on that. I didn't wanna do the breakfast or lunch because it should be consistent throughout. Hope you enjoy the foods when you come here😁🤙
@@SeanKaleponi Gotcha. Thank you for the reply. I have been watching your videos and am making a list of where I will be taking my family soon. Love how thorough, honest, and passionate you are in all of your videos. So looking forward to some good Grindz. My oldest Son and I want the best Garlic Furikake Chicken, and My Twins want AYCE Hot Pot for their Birthday. I hope we get to meet you and Nhi in person
I love McCullys I go here every time I hit Waikiki
Aloha RyanJay! Glad you hit up McCullys! Good local buffet there👍🤙😋
Aloha brotha! My mom and I were wondering if you’re going to be selling your Hawaiian Traveler shirts anytime soon?!
Aloha Carly!! I will def announce it on my Instagram and a UA-cam video when we start selling shirts. We plan do to some merchandise in 2023. Thanks for asking! Please tell your Mom that my wife and I said "Hi and Happy Holidays".🎉😋👍🤙
I will most definitely tell her! I was on Oahu in April and was constantly looking for the two of you! I’ll be back this upcoming year fingers crossed I get to give a Shaka 🤙🏻
Sean, when you say you're allergic to sea food, don't you mean any type of shell fish? You can still eat poki, sashimi and sushi containing fish. All looks delicious and one day, I'll be able to afford to travel from the UK to try out all the places you visit.
Aloha Heather from Oahu to the UK. And yes.. I meant I'm allergic to shellfish.. hope you're able to come visit Hawaii soon! 🤙😁😋
try the buffet at the 4 seasons and the Kahala 😆
Aloha Mel Mel! The 4 Seasons and Kahala are def on the list!:)👍🤙😋

Aloha Lisa from Honolulu to Australia!! And yes, the 2nd buffet is better and I like the area with the fireworks too of you go on a Friday night!:) Not sure with the Poke Tuna but it's good and I love the prime rib and porchetta. My wife liked the Crab Legs at 100 Sails👍😋🤙 Mahalo for watching
Orchids is the best buffet on oahu!
Aloha Supreme Nation, I'll check out Orchids 👍🤙
I remember reading a book as a child and it had drawings of the native Alaskans eating raw salmon and tuna with blood smeared on their chins and cheeks. I was horrified as a kid, but as an adult now I know how delicious that raw fish was. 😂
Hahaha crazy story Turbocharged. No blood on my chin though over here. Lol🤙👍
