Four crowd-friendly picks that make the group chat easier.
Liliha Bakery is two Honolulu institutions in one: a pastry counter built around Coco Puffs and an old-style diner where butter rolls hit the griddle. Get the Loco Moco. Ono tip: Bring a group so the table can order more dishes to share.
Shabuya makes all-you-can-eat hot pot manageable with individual broths, a broad ingredient bar and enough meat choices for everyone to cook at their own pace. Get the Wagyu. Ono tip: Save this one for a late dinner or after-hours craving.
Side Street Inn puts chef-level technique into sports-bar portions, turning pork chops, fried rice and garlic-heavy plates into food built for the whole table. Get the Fried Pork Chops. Ono tip: Bring a group so the table can order more dishes to share.
