Aiea, HI 96701

Anita L. writes: We've been to enough of these in the Bay Area to know that they can be totally cool. However, this one was kinda lame in comparison. Located in a warehouse, there were only 2 sections separated by a screen and each side only had 4 jumpers to…

Cuu Long Vietnamese Restaurant

Pearl Kai Shopping C
Aiea, HI 96701

Joshua C. writes: "Don't know much, but I know I love you and that may be all I need to know"

Somehow at 4:51am it makes sense to begin a review with cheeseball Aaron Neville lyrics (I can't even tell you why I'm up writing this).

Anyway, in my "it's way too late"…

Kailua, HI 96734

spiff e. writes: Good and seemingly authentic mexican food.  Got the tacos de carnitas and they were pretty good.  Ordered a horchata too and that thing was huge.  And with just the right sweetness.  But the best was the chips and salsa, which was only made better…

Agape Shoppe

39 Maluniu Ave
Kailua, HI 96734

Fetish

572 Kailua Rd
Kailua, HI 96734

Anita L. writes: Don't let the name of this place fool you. What it does sell are handbags, belts, shoes and accessory items resembling something which 'might' seem on the fetish side, though nothing looked pornographic to me at all, nor were the styles offensive --…

Tropics

572 Kailua Rd
Kailua, HI 96734

Travis C. writes: Tropics is a little out of the way bar that is cool to hang out at when you don't feel like driving to Waikiki. Juke box on the wall and bands in the evenings. The bar tenders are really cool and take care of you. Many times the bar tender has…

Kailua, HI 96734

NATHAN C. writes: Kaneohe 2004-2006. Back when the lindo was located in Kaneohe I used to frequent it as much as every two days! You see, I had this fat friend of mine who couldn't get enough of the diablo shrimp and the roast carnitas. He's probably got tape worm…

Kailua Farmers Market

21 S. Kainalu Drive
Kailua, HI 96734

Farmers Market

Heeia State Park
Kaneohe, HI 96744

Anita L. writes: Said to run from 9am to 3pm, there were only 3 vendors there at 9.40am and 2 of them were selling flowers (the other one was a Laotian farmer who sold fruit and veggies). I was told that there are usually about 7 vendors there. I'm guessing I arrived…

WiFi Service

Kaneohe, HI 96744

Anita L. writes: WiFi sucks here. It's bad enough that hardly anyone uses wifi (not even libraries), but the fact that it's really difficult to use your laptop anywhere is just pissing me off. However, having said that I should be thankful because right now I'm using…

Safeway Food & Drug

46 065 Kamehameha Hwy
Kaneohe, HI 96744

Pah Ke's Chinese Restaurant

46-018 Kamehameha Hwy
Kaneohe, HI 96744

Joshua C. writes: Chinese food in Hawaii's an interesting thing. There's definitely a whole range of so-so places that more or less taste the same, have terrible service, plastic table top covers, poor dessert selections, and charge you for your water (OK now I'm…

Yoonyson Korean BBQ

45 480 Kaneohe Bay Drive
Windward City Shopping Center
Kaneohe, HI 96744

Anita L. writes: Above average tasting Korean 'fast food'. You order and they cook up the main item in the kitchen while you choose panchan from the buffet set up. Portions are large and 2 orders were more than enough to feed me, hubby and our 5 yr old. Actually, we…

Kaneohe, HI 96744

Jeff I. writes: A simple menu. An easy atmosphere.

Kaneohe, HI 96744

Anita L. writes: I would give this place 5 stars for convenience (it is located right across the street from the Hawaiian Memorial Park (a cemetery) but only 2 stars for selection. It seems they have a load of ginger (these gorgeous blood red local flower) but not…

Ricochet Records
Mililani, HI 96789

Jonathan P. writes: Thief. As much as I like his music, he's a straight up thief. Take a look at the track lists on the back of his CDs. Notice any similarities? Try more than half of the songs on every new album he puts out are somewhere on one of his old albums. He…

Ba-Le Sandwich Shop

1450 Ala Moana Blvd
Honolulu, HI 96806

Liz T. writes: Let's face it, Vietnamese sandwiches are dynamite. You can't screw it up either--unless you use stale French bread and soggy pickled vegetables. Mario Batali made a refined version of it with mango on Iron Chef America and the judges raved on and on…
