Restaurants in Hawaii

Oahu's southeast hand cradles a bevy of lush parks and sun-soaked beaches, cushioned in a quiet pocket just outside Waikiki shopping, dining, and nightlife. The Diamond Head crater towers over landscapes in every direction, gazing down upon Sans Souci, Diamond Head, and Waikiki shorelines like a grandfather mystified by tiny progeny. Hips revolve around sun rays in hula performances across Waikiki beach, and surfing sensations and spar-stabilized outrigger canoes splash through salty currents. Alternately, trekking an hour or longer across the island to the eye-piercing cerulean beaches of the north shore sequesters sandy toes in near solitude, except during November and December, when wave whisperers take over for the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. Within the verdant Kapi'olani Park, agile limbs dash across soccer, softball, and tennis courts, and in the park's enclosed Honolulu Zoo, creatures from hippos to kinkajous reenact contentious congressional sessions.Bereft human mannequins and grumbling bellies both find solace at local shopping hubs, from haute couture designers and fine dining at the outdoor Ala Moana Center to gift vendors, steel-drum performances, and street fare at the banyan-shaded International Market Place. After-hours hotspots light up Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki, and a short drive to Chinatown in downtown Honolulu unmasks lofted and underground dance bashes. Oahu's monarchic past and proud surfing history come to light through the spun-marzipan columns of the royal 'Iolani Palace, the educational markers along the Waikiki Historic Trail, and the remains of ancient heiau temples dotting the landscape.

Jacob Hansen, a surfer born and raised on Oahu's North Shore, grew up eating huli huli chicken. After long days spent on the water, he and his friends found that the savory dish hit the spot. But it wasn't until Hansen tasted whole, fire-roasted chicken during a surf trip to Mexico that he discovered how tasty the dish could be. He wanted to open his own roasted-chicken restaurant, and then set out to develop a recipe. Over the next 15 years, he traveled to more than 30 countries—including France, Africa, Thailand, and a secret island nation inhabited only by chickens—sampling roasted poultry and native spices in each new place.

Today, Hansen serves up his own version of fire-roasted chicken at Diamond Head Kitchen. He incorporates seasonings and techniques picked up during his years of travel to make juicy, crisp-skinned chicken that literally falls off the bone as it's eaten. Diners can order whole chickens, portions of white or dark meat, or Moa chicken burgers with toppings such as teriyaki sauce or salsa. For a sweeter note, try Hansen's other specialty—nutrient-rich acai bowls.

Taking its name from the Hawaiian word for "adopt", Hanai Tours helps visitors become better acquainted with the people, food, and culture of Honolulu. Over the past 10 years, founder [Ed Korybski] http://www.hanaitours.com/about.html) has promoted Honolulu's Chinatown by producing street festivals, setting up commemorative plaques, and rehabilitating the facades of historical buildings. Today, he and his guides lead curious tourists through the beloved neighborhood, taking them through pub crawls and restaurant samplings that allow them to taste some of the local specialties and ethnic dishes. A dessert tour, for example, might include a stop at Mauankea Marketplace and a taste of homemade mango ice cream or Chinese candies, while a tour of Pau Hana—once known as Chinatown's red light district—might focus on area nightlife destinations and samples of wine and sake. Regardless of the food served, each tour also includes interesting historical facts and stories enhanced by digital photographs and video.
