As part of our Top Valentine's Day Spots article, Spoon Hawaii reached out to Waikiki Yokocho, in which we got to try not one, not two, but FIVE different restaurants within the Gourmet Alley.
During our trip, we got to try food from: Kushikatsu Tanaka: DIY Takoyaki Kaneko Hannosuke: Premium Tempura Bowl* Bario: Special Tsuekemen* Izakaya Kai: Kai Deluxe Seafood Bowl Nana's Green Tea: Matcha Mochi Parfait & Red Bean Strawberry Latte* *My Favorites from this Trip Especially with the ABC tours in Waikiki that I do with students from Japan, I've always wanted to try the restaurants here (especially Hannosuke - I've had this place bookmarked on Yelp since they opened), but with the $10 lunch budget, it's been a no bueno so far lol. I do love that so many places offer kama'aina discount here, like 10% off Hannosuke & 15% off Bario. As a hard (self-proclaimed) ramen critic, the only ramen shops I will spend money at are Wagaya and Golden Pork, and now, Bario. If Corina is willing to spend $20 on a ramen, you know it'll be good.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog post about Waikiki Yokocho! It sounds like a fantastic place to explore and experience authentic Japanese cuisine in Hawaii. Your vivid descriptions of the different food options and the lively atmosphere made me feel like I was right there with you. It's fascinating to learn about the variety of dishes available, from ramen and sushi to takoyaki and matcha desserts.
