Review: Sushi Izakaya Gaku

November 14, 2024 by Island Miler

Sushi Izakaya Gaku hamachi kama

There are many Japanese restaurants of differing quality and style around Honolulu. However, one has stood the test of time as a reliable standby - Sushi Izakaya Gaku. Despite being around for a while now, I've never been here until recently. And I'm glad I finally made it out to try this beloved spot.  … [Read more...] about Review: Sushi Izakaya Gaku

Review: ‘Olili Waikiki

September 12, 2024 by Island Miler

'Olili Waikiki Local Roots

During our brief staycation in Waikiki, I made it a point to try a new to us restaurant, despite having established favorites in the area. This was an even greater challenge due to budgetary constraints. Eventually, I settled on 'Olili Waikiki, which is a newer restaurant concept by Foodland Hawai'i.  … [Read more...] about Review: ‘Olili Waikiki

Review: Southwest 5136 OGG-HNL

September 6, 2024 by Island Miler

Our flight home from Maui on Southwest 5136 OGG-HNL was a somewhat unusual one, as far as my experiences with the airline have been. Between the load factor, the aircraft, and the weather, this was far from what I usually come to expect, both good and bad.  … [Read more...] about Review: Southwest 5136 OGG-HNL

Hula Cookies Ice Cream Sandwiches

August 23, 2024 by Island Miler

Hula Cookies Ice Cream Sandwiches Menehune Mint

Restaurant Marlow may have fantastic cuisine. However, dessert wholly depends on what pastries are done earlier in the day (or the prior day), along with what's left over. As such, they only had ice cream on the menu that night. Because of this, we skipped and decided to check out Hula Cookies Ice Cream Sandwiches.  … [Read more...] about Hula Cookies Ice Cream Sandwiches

Review: Restaurant Marlow Maui

August 22, 2024 by Island Miler

Restaurant Marlow Pizzas

The last time we were on Maui, one of the front desk associates at the Grand Wailea recommended we check out Restaurant Marlow in Pukalani. We did, but it left me wanting more. So, this time, we planned out a proper meal at the restaurant, with a sit-down dinner to follow our hike in Haleakalā National Park.  … [Read more...] about Review: Restaurant Marlow Maui

A Day of Hiking in Haleakalā National Park

July 17, 2024 by Island Miler

Day of Hiking in Haleakalā National Park - Halemau'u Trailhead

For our one full day on Maui, we decided to do a day of hiking in Haleakalā National Park. Ok, well, not quite literally a day. But we did spend about three hours on one trail, did a little sightseeing around the park afterward, and ended with a little birding, which also required a small amount of hiking again.  … [Read more...] about A Day of Hiking in Haleakalā National Park

Review: Miss Arepa Maui

July 11, 2024 by Island Miler

Miss Arepa Maui

As I mentioned in my intro post, finding places to eat in West Maui is challenging. Many of the small businesses in the area haven't reopened, so much of your dining options are pricy resort restaurants. Thankfully, there are a few options available if you know where to look … [Read more...] about Review: Miss Arepa Maui

Review: Hyatt Regency Maui

July 10, 2024 by Island Miler

Hyatt Regency Maui

Honestly, I chose to stay at the Hyatt Regency Maui because of my ability to redeem points, because they were moving up a category, and to review something new-to-me. However, it wasn't the most sensible place for us to stay given what we had planned, doubly so because of how things remain post-fire.  … [Read more...] about Review: Hyatt Regency Maui

Review: Mr Ojisan Neo Bar and Sushi

July 5, 2024 by Island Miler

Mr Ojisan

Honolulu is home to a plethora of Japanese restaurants, consisting of a mixture of newer spots and older ones, traditional ones and more modern ones. For better or worst, the older spots evolve, while others don't. Mr Ojisan is of the later type, having moved a couple of times and reinvented itself.  … [Read more...] about Review: Mr Ojisan Neo Bar and Sushi

Review: Wabisabi Hawaii

July 3, 2024 by Island Miler

The firs thing we did after picking up our rental car (and running to Target so I could hook my phone up to the car) was have lunch at a spot called Wabisabi Hawaii. I had made reservations after learning about the spot from an article in Hawaii Magazine. And, boy was that a great call!  … [Read more...] about Review: Wabisabi Hawaii
