Aloha Sean and Nhi! All were awesome choices! My son and I love Kogi Aina and their shave ice! I tried to film it during Covid but trashed it because I did a bad job filming lol. But we used to go often! I love Aunty Susan. She is the OG of hotpot and made it famous with her old place in Moiliili called Sweet Home Cafe. I haven't been to her new spot but loved her old place and her second place Auntys Ramen before they closed down. I recently went to the Shabu Shabu and enjoyed it too! Can't go wrong with all three! Thanks for the video!
Let me goggle these places 👀 I’ll most likely check one of these places our in May ! Although my 14 night ,15 day itinerary is nearly full… I thought I would struggle to fill this amount of time , but it’s nearly full ✈️🌴🏖🌺🤙
Aloha Misty!! Awww would love to see you do a Food review here at Kogi! And it's tough to film there when it's busy and you don't get the proper seating. But there's always a next time:) and yes, we got to hear about Aunty Susan's story. I heard she was the best when she had her places in town:) She has the best broth in my opinion. So sweet Aunty Susan is. Mahalo for always supporting! Look forward to your next video🤙👍😋
Aloha Rod!! Yes, if you can, please include a Hot Pot in your 15 day itinerary!! Even though your schedule is full, it's worth it. Very Popular in Asia and growing big in Hawaii. 🤙👍😋
Aloha Sean and Nhi! We ❤some good hot pot!! The ones here in the mainland don’t have the fridge full of goodness that you can pick from so that’s really cool. Will definitely check out these places when we’re back in O’ahu. Mahalo for always sharing the ono grindz!! 🤙🏽😋🏝️🌺☀️
Aloha Michelle and Jose!! Good hearing from you and I saw you guys came back to Oahu! We will.def hit up some of the mainland hot pots when we get the chance. The fridge makes it feel like a buffet. Hope to see you guys the next time you're here. Hope all is well👍🤙😋

This video came out at the right time as I'm headed to Oahu today! Will need to try out one of them, since it's going to be wet the whole time we're there. Mahalo!
Aloha Sean and Nhi , I’m amazed of the amount of views you receive, especially about the food on Hawaii. 🌺🏖🌴 Like me , researching for my upcoming trip in May , there must be tons of peeps researching of where to eat 😋 hence the amazing amount of views you receive. More views then Subscribers is incredible. Cheers Rod 🤙
Aloha Rod! My wife and I always appreciate your messages. We are blessed to have an audience here in Hawaii and we don't take it for granted. But we remain modest because one video might do good, and another might not, so we never know. We have goals of eventually doing videos outside of Hawaii and hope to gain traction too. We appreciate ppl like you that support us wherever we are. Hope you're able to put Hot Pot in your itinerary when you come here:)😋👍🤙
It was nice running into you and your wife at the botanical garden!! My gf and I are huge fans and always watch your videos and plan our trip around your recommendations. Appreciate it. Mahalo.
Aloha David!! It was nice seeing you and your girlfriend in the Gardens. Wish there wasn't many cars behind for we could have talked! We appreciate you supporting this channel and I hope your having a great time here!! Mahalo!👍😋🤙

Aloha Sibylle!! It was a pleasure meeting you and your husband on Valentines Day. And I have friends from my dream destination, the Congo!! I was telling my wife how cool it was to meet you two. I hope you two are having a blast here in Hawaii despite the weather. Well keep in touch 🤙😋👍
Sean, I live with a woman from Manilla and her husband who is Vietnamese and came to the states from Paris. They introduced this haole from Cali to Hot Pot. It's a different experience in dining. The list of Hot Pot places in Hawaii look exceptional. Killer episode my friend. BTW - You need and episode of you spear fishing and cooking your catch on the beach.
Aloha Adam! Mahalo for watching and I appreciate you telling us your story. Even though I'm from here, my wife got me into Hot Pot. Def Asian influenced and your in good hands with someone from Manilla and Vietnamese. I hope your able to try out the Hot Pot here too!:)🤙😋👍
Really great video content Sean! Descriptive, informative and timely. Perfect for the chilly, wet weather we've been having in the islands recently. Mahalo and keep up the great work.
Aloha Pamela! I'm glad you liked the video and yes, Def perfect considering the cold rainy weather we've been having:) We appreciate your feedback! Mahalo🤙👍😋
Aloha Kristy!! Awww hope you're able to get some Hot Pot the next time you're in Hawaii! Shabu Shabu is sooo good! Please let me know what you think when you try it here. Mahalo😋👍🤙

Aloha Todd. Texas is in the house🤙 I love it there and it's good to hear from another Kaneohe resident! Hope your able to visit home soon and try Kogi Aina. Mahalo for watching🤙👍😋

Aloha Kenny!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel. Okay so I'm not the only that's spills too. Lol. And Auntys was my favorite. We want to make more videos and we have a cpl lined up. We both have other jobs and hope this could be more of a full time thing, but we're working on it. 👍🤙😋
Hi Sean and Nhi! 💚 I’m so happy to see y’all feature Taiwanese food/hot pot!!! Truly a staple 🥳 just wanted to also give you both a big BIG thank you for your awesome videos! I found your videos before my boyfriend and I visited Oahu in December and we had so much fun eating and hiking thanks to your recommendations! I know your content truly made a difference in our visit and we’re so grateful! Looking forward to watching you guys grow and grow this channel! 🌸
Aloha Christina! We appreciate your kind words and glad you liked the Taiwanaese Hot Pot. It was soo good. And I'm glad this channel helped you and your boyfriend have an amazing time here during December. This channel grows with the support of ppl like you so we are greatful! Thanks again🤙👍😋
Ooh hot pot! It's quiet interesting that you can self serve the items from the fridge! Nice! The free desserts at Kogi Aina & Aunty's Hot Pot looked so good! Especially, Aunty's! I love ginger onion sauce. Get some thin slice chicken & you have yourself some Hainan chicken! All three places look really great! Thanks for the video!
Aloha Lisa!! Mahalo for watching! Yes, it's great we get to pick and choose from the fridge and Auntys Boba Shave Ice is sooo good! Can't go wrong with any of the 3 and I haven't tried Hainan chicken yet. I know they have it at Singmatei so gonna eat some soon. 🤙👍😋
I cannot and I repeat I cannot say it enough, Sean I love your realness when it comes to your food reviews. I will also add I love your facial expressions as well they are not only easy to read but funny too. You had my wife and I in tears from laughing so hard when you were telling us how spicy the hot pot was at Aunty’s Hotpot House. I commend you for putting your taste buds on the line for us but I also felt bad for you, my friend.
Aloha Charles!! Haha it's totally fine if I eat really spicy food. It's also a rush for me. And we try our best to keep it real. That's why I haven't done as much sponsors yet because I feel it might take away from the realness but I'll eventually find one that I'm on board with👍🤙
Aloha mi hermano love your videos Anytime you come to the Bay Area let me know I can take you around show you some good Bay Area food! Would you make a video of places to go eat with kids in Oahu ? Gracias
Aloha Donelly from Oahu to the Bay Area! And yes, We do plan to eventually hit up the bay area:)😋👍🤙 and for kids? I think any place that has a kids menu would be good which is most sit in places. It's family friendly here so I think the kids will enjoy almost all places🤙👍😋
Sean, I started watching this video moments after it was posted. Then I was interrupted. This happened 2 more times over the past couple of days. I'm glad I finally got to finish it. The bathroom is a wonderful place... Cool video, once again. Hot pot video hits high score button! 😃🤙
Aloha Charles!! All good my friend! I don't ask anyone to watch the videos or even talk about UA-cam unless I get asked questions about it. Whenever ppl have time or if they feel the video can benefit them if they like the subject. Glad you liked the video and that you got to finish up your bathroom. Please tell your family and nephew I said hi!🤙😋👍
🌺ALOHA! Sean, I just left Oahu after 10 glorious days on the island. Thanks to your video suggestions, I am happy and heavier 😜. I came and ate all the things. I'm salty I didn't know about hot pots tho! Maholo 🤙🏾
Aloha Ginger Jordan!! Mahalo for watching this channel and glad you had a great food filled time here for 10 days.! Hot Pot is Asian influenced and was trying to bring more awareness to it. Hope you try it next time🤙😋👍
Aloha Sean and Nhi, we tried Hawaii Pot in Wahiawa, since it is much closer to us. It was our first experience with hot pots and we both loved it. The staff was friendly and explained it all. We'll have to try the others too. Mahalo!!
Aloha Michael!! Mahalo for watching and Wahiawa is one of the neat cities for food!! Glad you guys enjoyed the Hot Pot and please try Auntys Hot Pot, it's soo good there!:)🤙👍😋
My family already loves Hawaii I love your UA-cam Channel and your food reviews have officially made up my mind to come back just to eat at these places that you are going to. My wife and I said to each other we are going to Aunty’s Hotpot House when we come back. We’re also going to Kogi Aina but Aunty’s is first.
All three places look amazing ❤❤❤ I’ll have to figure which one is closest to our hotel! I’ll even try the beef tongue 😜 thanks for sharing your foodie adventures
Aloha Lori!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel! Hot Pot is def popular in Asia and I hope you try it :) it's fun and delicious and yeah, gonna add more bloopers for the future:) Lol!
You know Sean you and your wife just dawned on something. You guys should include your bloopers & outtakes. I really loved hearing the Temptation's song Silent Night playing in the background it was funny and priceless.
Hi Sean the family and I love your videos . We're coming from Australia to Hawaii this time next month and hope to bump into you. My daughters would lose it 😄
Aloha Karavatakis! Mahalo from Oahu to 🇦🇺!:):) Enjoy your time here next month and if you see me, please say hi. Please tell your daughters I said hi too!:):)👍🤙😋
Wow!! Mahalo for this video. Perfect timing too since the weather has been rainy and cold. I appreciate you two showing us more about Hot Pot since it's not advertised as much here on Oahu. Have a great weekend 🤙😋👍
Mahalo Crucial Thinker for always supporting us! Yeah, perfect time for Hot Pot since it's rainy and cold. And yes, we hope to bring light to more Hot Pot places here on Oahu. Aloha👍😋🤙
Howzit, you foodie worriors!!!! Maaaaannn… themz wuz some awsome grindz!!! I have never been to a Hot Pot place yet. Kogi Aina sounds great! Since it’s basically down the road from me. You guys can put away some major food!!!! Love you guz ❣️
Aloha Urs! We try to be foodie warriors for the camera. Lol. So much food but it's all good food!:):) Kogi Aina is awesome and if you live right there, even more of a reason to visit. We love you too! Mahalo for always supporting us😋👍🤙
Sean, seen your video, our anniversary coming up June 24, 43 yrs. I made reservation for Saturday 430p. Thank you for your video, for us to try! I will definitely mention you. Mahalo
Aloha MP!! Happy Anniversarya 43 years is a long time and so rare!! Wishing you and your partner a great anniversary in Hawaii and please enjoy the local foods and your dinner today! Mahalo 👍🤙😋
Aloha Sean and Nhi! So awesome you guys made a video on Hot Pot. Hardly any exposure on it and I like that you guys are willing to showcase the things that aren't so popular too! I like all 3 but I would probably go with Kogi Aina for the price but man, Auntys looks amazing.!!
Aloha Justsaying!! And Mahalo for watching our Hot Pot Video. We try our best to bring light to any topic that's awesome whether popular or not, and Kogi Aina is a good choice and please visit Auntys too if possible. Thanks again🤙👍😋
What's up Hawaiian Travellers,... awesome video like always. We was in Oahu this past weekend and got to try at Aunty Hot Pot in Kapolei and it was delicious.. We tried some places you guys recommend and it was right on and I let them know that it was you guys who recommended it. One of the workers said " people actually go places recommended by you tubers?" LOL.... THANKS Sean and Nhi. Braddah Sean you gotta try stop dropping your food🤣 We wanted to go North Shore side but we never go because of the high wind advisory. It was pretty windy up there. We went Kailua side and kind of got stuck in traffic...tree wen fall down.
Aloha Kipo808! Mahalo for always supporting this channel! I'm glad you were able to check out Auntys Hot Pot and some of the other reccomendations. And that's funny of the co worker. I rather trust an ordinary dude on YT than TV personalities that are being sponsored. And maybe next time for North Shore. It has some of the best foods on the island. Sorry you had to be here during high winds. Hoping you come back again soon🤙😋👍
Aloha Ron, it was nice meeting you today at Sam's Club. I think the cashier was wondering if I was an actor when we were talking. Lol. Thanks for saying hi and Mahalo for watching 🤙😋👍
OMG, Sean!!! You dropped the lobster roll back in the hot pot. The look on your face and your wife laughing made my wife and I laugh. I’m just glad it went back into the pot and not on the floor. I was hoping you didn’t change your shirt…Lol! I’m only kidding I totally understand.
Hi Sean, we’re coming to Hawaii for vacation this March and was looking up videos to view. Found yours and love it…especially from a local perspective. You and your wife are so good together..fun to watch. I used to live in Hawaii and have visited a few times afterwards. One of my favorite places to eat was Grace’s Inn located at 1296 S Beretania St #101, Honolulu, serving local Hawaiian plate lunches. I went there a lot when I lived there and go there at least once every time visit. Have you been?
Aloha Kenneth!! Mahalo for watching this channel! And I appreciate your words. I def wanted to bring this channel from a locals perspective. And I haven't eaten at Grace Inn yet but now it will be on the list!:) Please tell your wife we said hi and hope your able to visit here more. Have a great weekend 👍😋🤙
I love the idea of choosing your items from the refrigerated section! I assume they are all flavored broths; is it a standard house broth, or have choices.
Aloha Ann Chee! It's always good hearing from you!! And yes, Def enjoy all the choices and my ability to go to the refrigerator and the broths are good. Esp at Aunty's!😋👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi My buddies and I always arrange for designated drivers and taxi/Uber or couch surfing/tomaru. We have a set/standing menu. We wash whatever’s not a paper plate or disposable utensil and split the leftovers if we’re going to icha (another place to drink darts & pool karaoke). Cancer immuno compromised my kid sister in her 40s, but my buddies are well-trained via repetition/practice. The split hot pot bowl is super cool. I don’t bother sharing utensils with hashi/chopsticks, but for soupy stuff I’ll dirty a spoon. I’ll hopefully do butane hot pot in the future. I always have pan-Chan (side dishes), so it’s fun.
I usually go to Hot Pot shabu shabu. never went to a hot pot where the broth was just that good on it's own so i just take the dipping sauce i make and toss it in the broth. i like the conveyor style too. never really get appetizers/desserts but that bobba shave ice does look good. service is always good never an issue their. Parking i just park at walmart and walk it over. literally just across the street.
Aloha Lethidox!! Nice to hear from someone that is into Hot Pot! We enjoyed the Hot Pot Shabu Shabu and the one thing about Auntys is yes the broth is that good (my opinion) but my fav thing is the Shave Ice boba!:):) and as far as the parking, I'll just say that I didn't wanna say what you just wrote but that makes the most sense.:):) Mahalo for watching🤙👍💯
Hey Sean, off topic here but have you ever been to Makua beach? Would you recommend visiting there? Not sure if it’s worth the drive or not. Also, any good eats on the way there?
My recent video on Oahu Part 1 , I end the video there at Makua Beach. Countryside Cafe and Moutain Magic Shave Ice is where I stop when I head to Makua Beach😋👍🤙
Man I can’t wait 5 days the hot pot has me drooling . Man I get one meal a day right now . First I want sim yum yum chicken and the that Raman bowl with noodles I the air . I’m from Chicago all my life and I’m coming to Hawaii to live the rest of my life . I can’t wait to start fixing Maui .I am a Aries the fire sign this is where god wants me . I pray I survive these 6 days in Chicago and I’m not looking back
Aloha TitasMom! Always enjoy hearing from you. Auntys can so I just try not to get carried away. But its soo good and the free Boba Shave Ice at the end makes everything worth it and then some:)🤙👍😋
The look on your face when you bit into the Taiwanese Pork Chops at Aunty's Hotspot is enough for me to try it when I get there. It looks so good, but I don't know about that Dragon Cucumber I think I will pass on that one.
Aloha Sean and Nhi! All were awesome choices! My son and I love Kogi Aina and their shave ice! I tried to film it during Covid but trashed it because I did a bad job filming lol. But we used to go often! I love Aunty Susan. She is the OG of hotpot and made it famous with her old place in Moiliili called Sweet Home Cafe.

Aloha Sean and Nhi! So awesome you guys made a video on Hot Pot. Hardly any exposure on it and I like that you guys are willing to showcase the things that aren't so popular too! I like all 3 but I would probably go with Kogi Aina for the price but man, Auntys looks amazing.!!
Aloha Justsaying!! And Mahalo for watching our Hot Pot Video. We try our best to bring light to any topic that's awesome whether popular or not, and Kogi Aina is a good choice and please visit Auntys too if possible. Thanks again🤙👍😋
Thank you so much our family is tired of eating the food in Maui and we have been looking forward to eating Asian food in Honolulu.

Aloha Louis!! Hot Pots are underated and thanks for watching 👍😋🤙🍲
What's up Hawaiian Travellers,... awesome video like always. We was in Oahu this past weekend and got to try at Aunty Hot Pot in Kapolei and it was delicious.. We tried some places you guys recommend and it was right on and I let them know that it was you guys who recommended it. One of the workers said " people actually go places recommended by you tubers?" LOL.... THANKS Sean and Nhi. Braddah Sean you gotta try stop dropping your food🤣
We wanted to go North Shore side but we never go because of the high wind advisory. It was pretty windy up there. We went Kailua side and kind of got stuck in traffic...tree wen fall down.
Aloha Kipo808! Mahalo for always supporting this channel! I'm glad you were able to check out Auntys Hot Pot and some of the other reccomendations. And that's funny of the co worker. I rather trust an ordinary dude on YT than TV personalities that are being sponsored. And maybe next time for North Shore. It has some of the best foods on the island. Sorry you had to be here during high winds. Hoping you come back again soon🤙😋👍
#1 for me but all looked great !!!
Aloha Al! #1 def best bang for your buck but all 3 are delicious indeed. Mahalo for watching👍😋🤙
10:27 dat's how I recognize you at Sam's. Da shirt.
Aloha Ron, it was nice meeting you today at Sam's Club. I think the cashier was wondering if I was an actor when we were talking. Lol. Thanks for saying hi and Mahalo for watching 🤙😋👍
I didn't realize that Kogi Aina had a happy hour but now that I know I'm practically obligated to go!
Aloha sparkyhasselhoff!:) Yes, I didn't know too about happy hour and it's def worth every penny !🤙😋👍
OMG, Sean!!! You dropped the lobster roll back in the hot pot. The look on your face and your wife laughing made my wife and I laugh. I’m just glad it went back into the pot and not on the floor. I was hoping you didn’t change your shirt…Lol! I’m only kidding I totally understand.
Haha Charles, all good , my shirt got dirty since I don't buy expensive clothing so it's okay. Looks brand new after one wash:)
I just got back from Oahu....went to Shabuya for hot pot....its really good
Aloha Obijuan Kenobi! We're gonna try Shabuya. Heard nothing but great things about them:) Mahalo for sharing😋👍🤙

Aloha Sunny Island! I hope you're able to try some of the Hot Pot😋🤙👍 Mahalo for watching
Hi Sean, we’re coming to Hawaii for vacation this March and was looking up videos to view. Found yours and love it…especially from a local perspective. You and your wife are so good together..fun to watch. I used to live in Hawaii and have visited a few times afterwards. One of my favorite places to eat was Grace’s Inn located at 1296 S Beretania St #101, Honolulu, serving local Hawaiian plate lunches. I went there a lot when I lived there and go there at least once every time visit. Have you been?
Aloha Kenneth!! Mahalo for watching this channel! And I appreciate your words. I def wanted to bring this channel from a locals perspective. And I haven't eaten at Grace Inn yet but now it will be on the list!:) Please tell your wife we said hi and hope your able to visit here more. Have a great weekend 👍😋🤙
I love the idea of choosing your items from the refrigerated section! I assume they are all flavored broths; is it a standard house broth, or have choices.
Aloha Ann Chee! It's always good hearing from you!! And yes, Def enjoy all the choices and my ability to go to the refrigerator and the broths are good. Esp at Aunty's!😋👍🤙
Sean, can you try the new hot pot place - Chong Qing Hot Pot?
Aloha Fiona!! Chong Qing Hot Pot will be on the list! Mahalo for your suggestion🤙😋👍
Shabu-shabu! Japanese food!
Aloha Mr. Kinkai. We love Shabu Shabu:)🤙👍😋
Thanks! I might do hot pot the next time I host my buddies!
Aloha John! That will make you an even cooler friend taking them to Hot Pot!:) Mahalo for watching👍🤙
@@SeanKaleponi My buddies and I always arrange for designated drivers and taxi/Uber or couch surfing/tomaru.
We have a set/standing menu. We wash whatever’s not a paper plate or disposable utensil and split the leftovers if we’re going to icha (another place to drink darts & pool karaoke).
Cancer immuno compromised my kid sister in her 40s, but my buddies are well-trained via repetition/practice.
The split hot pot bowl is super cool. I don’t bother sharing utensils with hashi/chopsticks, but for soupy stuff I’ll dirty a spoon.
I’ll hopefully do butane hot pot in the future. I always have pan-Chan (side dishes), so it’s fun.
I usually go to Hot Pot shabu shabu. never went to a hot pot where the broth was just that good on it's own so i just take the dipping sauce i make and toss it in the broth. i like the conveyor style too. never really get appetizers/desserts but that bobba shave ice does look good. service is always good never an issue their. Parking i just park at walmart and walk it over. literally just across the street.
Aloha Lethidox!! Nice to hear from someone that is into Hot Pot! We enjoyed the Hot Pot Shabu Shabu and the one thing about Auntys is yes the broth is that good (my opinion) but my fav thing is the Shave Ice boba!:):) and as far as the parking, I'll just say that I didn't wanna say what you just wrote but that makes the most sense.:):) Mahalo for watching🤙👍💯
Good food
Mahalo Joel. Ono grindz👍😋🤙
awesome
🤙👍
Hey Sean, off topic here but have you ever been to Makua beach? Would you recommend visiting there? Not sure if it’s worth the drive or not. Also, any good eats on the way there?
My recent video on Oahu Part 1 , I end the video there at Makua Beach. Countryside Cafe and Moutain Magic Shave Ice is where I stop when I head to Makua Beach😋👍🤙
Ok why i have never heard of this before? Just returned from Hawaii and would have loved to try this damn.
Aloha Ptech! Next time you come back to Hawaii🤙👍😋
@@SeanKaleponi it’s a date
YUMMMMMMM!!!
Soo Ono!!!😋👍🤙
I'm coming to Hawaii in less than a month and I'm definitely going to the last spot! But do yall have local Marijuana here Sean?! 😅
Aloha Jemirah! Please enjoy all the local food here when you do visit!:) and I don't smoke Marijuana but it is Hawaii, so yeah. Lol!🤙👍😋
Looks Ono 👍
Aloha Cheryl for watching!😋👍🤙

Hey Sean did you know that Fuji's was located where Kogi's is?
Aloha Scott, didn't know but would have loved to eat at Fujis:)
Why are you putting that shaver ice on the heat and it’s in a plastic? Thanks for sharing.
Aloha 207, oh the heat is only hit when it's put on!:) Mahalo for watching🤙

Where the one you did at Nanakuli fast stop?
Aloha Nissan! I'll hit up Nanakuli Hot Pot next time👍🤙😋
Delicious looking but price wise Aunties can get kind of expensive compared to the other two that were basically 1 price AYCE. Hmmmm..
Aloha TitasMom! Always enjoy hearing from you. Auntys can so I just try not to get carried away. But its soo good and the free Boba Shave Ice at the end makes everything worth it and then some:)🤙👍😋
The look on your face when you bit into the Taiwanese Pork Chops at Aunty's Hotspot is enough for me to try it when I get there. It looks so good, but I don't know about that Dragon Cucumber I think I will pass on that one.
Aloha Charles, the Taiwanaese Pork Chops are really good. Dragon Cucumber is good too but I can see why ppl would pass on it
@@SeanKaleponi That comment right there just changed my mind I will try it.
Kogi aina is da best but the service a few months ago was horrible 😂
Oh no Whatup! Mahalo for watching and glad you like Kogi Aina and I hope you don't run into the same service when you go.🤙👍
Mahalo 🤙🏽🌴🇺🇸
