EbiNomi

EbiNomi is known for its shrimp dishes, but they have comfort food from other parts of the world. They are a take-out only. I enjoyed the Ebi Kahuku (garlic shrimp) because the shrimps were large, and the shells were removed making it easy to eat. The garlic flavor is lighter than what you get from the shrimp trucks but they are generous with the garlic sauce so you can mix it into the rice. They had some interesting sides like the potato shrimp and shrimp cocktail which tasted good. The prices are high, but you do get a reasonable portion. 

They are located next to the Kuhio Banyan Club behind Marugame Udon. They have outdoor seating available in the courtyard area and there is a piano outside where anyone can go and play a few tunes. I recommend doing an online order from their website before heading over to save time. Since this is Waikiki, your only options for parking are metered street parking or spending $10 at a store in International Marketplace to get validation for that parking structure.

Junbi Waikiki

Junbi is a shop that serves matcha (green tea) drinks. They are in Waikiki at the Royal Hawaiian Center next to the stage. They have drinks that are exclusive to Hawaii which include guava, POG, yuzu, or lilikoi. I recommend getting something with guava if it's your first visit. I did notice the matcha flavor was light and if you want a stronger matcha taste, consider adding a shot to it. Some drinks don't allow you to customize sweetness so you may want to add more ice or just let the ice melt before drinking it.  

Depending on the time of day you visit, there might be a long line, but the line moves fast. They have 2 kiosks at the shop that are self-service, and you pay with a credit or debit card. If you're paying with cash, let the staff know and they'll take your order at a different register. They have other teas and no caffeinated drinks as well. The drinks are priced between $5 - $9. You can get a parking validation if you purchase $10 or more.
