BREW'd Craft Pub

BREW'd Craft Pub is located on Waialae Ave at the corner of 9th Ave. This place is known for having a huge selection of beers but since I'm not much of a beer drinker, I came for the food. The items on the menu are mostly appetizers with the exception of one burger, the Brew'd Burger. The portions for some of the items are small but for the pipikaula poke, it was big. The candied bacon is highly recommended but it only comes with 4 strips so you may want to double or triple up on that one. The mac & cheese was also really good because they make theirs extra cheesy. The tables inside are really close to each other and the noise level is loud. They are always busy so if you plan to go with a group, make reservations. There is a lot behind the building where you can park but I lucked out and got a space on the street.

Rijo Restaurant - CLOSED

Rijo Restaurant is located in Harbor Court. They took over the Palomino space. The entrance is on Queen Street right before Bethel Street. There is a lounge and a dining area. The dining area has a nice view of the water and if you dine there around dinner, you'll be able to catch the sunset. Rijo serves modern Japanese food with some healthier options on the menu. I recommend trying the crispy tofu with quinoa, two way saikyo yaki butterfish, rennyu panna cotta, and the green tea ganache molten lava cake. The restaurant wasn't full house when I dined there but I still recommend making a reservation. Parking is $3.00 if you park in Harbor Court and get validation from the restaurant.

Doughlicious Pizza - CLOSED

Doughlicious Pizza is located inside the Samsung Plaza across from Walmart. The shop is towards the back of the plaza. On the inside, they have 2 tables with a few bar stools for customers to sit and dine in. I recommend eating the pizza there when it's fresh and hot. The crust is thin and they are generous with the pizza toppings. The sandwiches are also very good. It would be a good idea to go with 3-4 people so you can share the items. I went on a week night and all the food came out in about 20 minutes. While I was eating, the owner ran in and out to deliver pizzas. There's another person in the back that does all the baking.

The parking is free with validation. When you enter the plaza you will automatically be given a ticket by the parking attendant. If you get lucky, you can parking right in front of the shop. The parking stalls are small so you might want to leave the SUV at home. They accept credit cards.

Ahi Assassins Fish Co.

Ahi Assassins Fish Co. is located in the Moili'ili area. They are in the same building as Frost City but on the 2nd floor. If you're not familiar with Frost City, it's the building after Blazin' Steaks on the corner of University and S. Beretania. The specialty here is ahi. They catch their own fish daily so everything is fresh. Depending on how much inventory they have, the prices may go up or down. They offer a variety ahi poke but they also have cooked ahi. Those are the "hot specials" and they are priced at $8 a plate and it comes with 2 scoops of rice. I recommend sharing if you get the plates. The portions for the fish are big.

They only accept cash and it's take-out. I recommend going before noon to avoid the lunch crowd. They have free parking downstairs.

Da Ala Cart

Da Ala Cart is a food stall that appears in the parking lot of Launderland in the Moiliili area. The chef cooks all kinds of food on a stick and they also have grilled musubi. To find out when they open and what is on the menu, you need to check their instagram or twitter page. Of all the times I visited, there has always been a line. They usually open around 9pm so try to be there by 9:30pm. If you go after 10pm, some items may already be sold out. Since everything is cooked on the robata grill, it may take some time. Some of my favorite items are the grilled musubi with pork, pork garlic, rib eye, lamb lollipops, and corn. I heard the gyutan (beef tongue) is really good but I haven't seen it on the menu.

For parking, you can use the Launderland stalls. There are stalls before and after Launderland. They accept cash or credit. If you pay with cash, try to give them small bills. I also recommend bringing your own drinks because they don't sell any. If you forget your drinks, you can go to the Shell gas station on the corner of S Beretania and McCully Street.
