Tanaka of Tokyo Restaurant
During my visit to Honolulu, Hawaii to visit family I started posting some photos on Instagram. I got a message from Barry, who is a world renowned teppanyaki chef expert – he’s even traveling the world teaching how to cook teppanyaki. So when he asked if I would come in to the restaurant he works at, and he would do the cooking, I knew it would be a great opportunity – not only for the food but for the amazing cooking skill.
Tanaka of Tokyo is Japanese teppanyaki restaurant in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. There’s an interesting history surrounding teppanyaki – it’s a Japanese meal, although it was invited to cook Western style. Funny thing is, it’s more popular outside of Japan than in Japan, and I’ve never even had it in Japan. So this was my first time to really have a proper teppanyaki meal.
I asked the waitress what she recommended and it was a set that included lobster, steak, and scallops, plus some Hawaiian style poke to begin with.
Our entire teppanyaki meal was extremely entertaining. The food was delicious and very high quality, but the cooking and show was a highlight. Our whole family enjoyed it from the start to finish. Barry is an amazing chef and he has incredible knife and fire skills!
Eating teppanyaki at Tanaka of Tokyo is not a cheap meal, but you not only pay for the food, but for the entire dining show.
Total price – $213.30
Special thanks to Barry for his amazing cooking!

Farmer’s Market in Oahu, Hawaii | Awesome Hawaiian Food!
Today we’ll be stopping by the Kapiolani Community College Farmer’s Market, located in Oahu, Hawaii. Please press “LIKE” if you enjoyed this video!
This Farmer’s Market requires a visit at least ONCE in your next trip to Oahu. It’s much better than the normal farmer’s markets you’re probably used to, because not only does it have produce — it has a TON of FOOD STALLS as well! Count on Hawaii to have awesome food stalls in their farmer’s market!
In this trip, I was on a mission for two things specifically: grilled abalone, white pineapple (aka “Honey Cream” pineapple) , and taro bread. I’ve never had the white pineapple, and I’ve heard so much rave about it from my boyfriend’s parents (who are locals from Hawaii), that I knew I HAD to get it. It was super sweet, and had a much lower acidity content compared to normal pineapples.
Another place I hit up was Pig and the Lady. My boyfriend’s parents also visit this stand almost every single time they go to the farmer’s market. Recently, I’ve seen Business Insider cover the restaurant with their “bone marrow tequila shots”. However, they serve primarily pho and noodle dishes at their stand in Kapiolani Community College. The whole both was fantastic — I even drank the broth!
Last place I stopped at was Ono Pops. The popsicles are hand made, and most of the ingredients are sourced from the Hawaiian islands. I love the unique selection of flavors on their menu, and their popsicles are GREAT. Not to sweet, and they really hit the spot on a hot Hawaiian day.
Thanks for stopping by!

Food in Hawaii – POKE BOWLS and Seafood at Tanioka’s in Waipahu, Hawaii!

Tanioka’s is a local hole in the wall food spot in Waipahu, Hawaii, that I’d been wanting to eat at for many years. Finally, we made the drive out to Waipahu (about 30 mins or so from Honolulu), ordered some food, and ate it on the beach.
Tanioka’s Seafood and Catering – Waipahu, Hawaii – It’s a local Hawaii food spot, known for their takeaway bentos and lunchboxes, poke, and musubi. They also have a full cabinet of different deep fried things – like fish patties, tempura, and mochiko chicken. When you walk in, you immediately stand in line and pass through the line ordering whatever you see that looks good. One thing you can be certain of is that all their fish is extremely fresh. I was very excited, but it’s one of those places that you order a bunch of food, but you always feel like you missed ordering something important.
Here’s most of what I ordered:
Spam musubi / deluxe spam musubi
Fish patties
Futomaki
Poke bowl with fried belly
Spicy ahi bento
Poi mochi
Total price – $67.90
It’s not cheap at all, but it’s typical Hawaii prices.
After getting the bags of food, I wanted to go eat somewhere along the beach. Since I don’t typically get out to the West Coast of Oahu very often, we decided to drive out to Kahe Point. The views were spectacular and we walked around for a little while, but there wasn’t a good grassy area to sit, so we continued on to Ko Olina. Ko Olina is a resort and golf course area, which amazing calm lagoons and grassy areas, perfect to dig into a Hawaii beach feast from Tanioka’s!
