Nana's Green Tea

Nana's Green Tea is known for their green tea soft serve. They have a big menu with a lot of options, but I recommend the standard green tea ice cream inside a cone. The parfaits look amazing but it was hard to eat, and I thought it needed to be sweeter. It's layered with coffee jelly, corn flakes, mochi balls, azuki paste, and soft serve. The desserts go from $6 to $11 and the drinks are from $5 to $7. The parfaits are big enough to share with 2 people. 

They are located in the Waikiki Yokocho Gourmet Alley which is on the basement level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. They do offer parking but I'm not sure where the parking garage is. Whenever I'm in Waikiki, I either park at Royal Hawaiian Center or International Marketplace because I get validation from making a purchase from one of those businesses.

O'Kims

O'Kim's is a hidden gem in Chinatown. It's a tiny shop that serves up delicious Korean take out. The food is good and the monthly specials keep me coming back for more. My favorites are the kalbi steak and seaweed salmon. The prices range from $12 - $15 but they give a good amount of food. They are open for lunch and dinner.

For parking, there's metered street parking or the Chinatown municipal parking lots. As I mentioned before, it is a tiny shop so there's nowhere to sit and eat. They accept phone orders so you could order in advance and pull over on the side to pick up your food. They accept credit cards.
