Review: Junbi Waikiki

March 14, 2023 by Island Miler Leave a Comment

Junbi Waikiki

Hawaii has no shortage of milk tea/boba spots. But one of our newer options, Junbi Waikiki, does things a bit differently. At Junbi, they focus on Japanese matcha rather than black teas and Chinese teas. … [Read more...] about Review: Junbi Waikiki

Ululani Shave Ice is Coming to Oahu

Fifteen years ago, Maui's most iconic shave shop made its debut. Over the years, they've expanded across the Valley Isle and, eventually, to the Big Island and California. Now, Ululani Shave Ice is coming to Oahu.  … [Read more...] about Ululani Shave Ice is Coming to Oahu

Bocconcino Hawaii Pizzas

January 18, 2023 by Island Miler

Bocconcino Hawaii

One of the new IT places to grab a bite to eat on Oahu isn't a restaurant - it's a store that just so happens to make food too. Specifically, they make sandwiches and pizzas using cheeses they make in-house. Recently, I paid my first visit to try the Bocconcino Hawaii Pizzas. … [Read more...] about Bocconcino Hawaii Pizzas

Disappointing: Mio Pastalogy

November 21, 2022 by Island Miler

Mio Pastalogy

Wafu cuisine has been gaining popularity over the years. I fell in love with wafu pasta in the form of Tarako Spaghetti (with shiso) during my last visit to Japan in 2009. So I was excited to finally give wafu pasta spot - Mio Pastalogy - a try. Too bad it ended up being disappointing.  … [Read more...] about Disappointing: Mio Pastalogy

Waikiki Beach Marriott City View Junior Suite

Recently, the Island Milers needed a hotel in Honolulu for a couple of nights. Not wanting to relive our Surfjack nightmare, we booked our old stand-by and got to check out the Waikiki Beach Marriott City View Junior Suite, which is now one of my favorite room types at the hotel.  … [Read more...] about Waikiki Beach Marriott City View Junior Suite

The City is Shrinking Kuhio Avenue

October 28, 2022 by Island Miler

The City is Shrinking Kuhio Avenue

There are two main thoroughfares through Waikiki - Kalakaua Avenue and Kuhio Avenue. For some reason, The City is shrinking Kuhio Avenue as a way to "improve" safety, though I think this is a terrible mistake.  … [Read more...] about The City is Shrinking Kuhio Avenue

Honolulu is the Second Worst Large US Airport

October 11, 2022 by Island Miler

Honolulu is the Second Worst Large US Airport

In the JD Powers 2022 North American Airport Satisfaction Study, Honolulu is the second worst large US airport. I can't say I'm surprised. I loathe my hometown airport, though there are worse.  … [Read more...] about Honolulu is the Second Worst Large US Airport

Red Light Cameras Are Coming to Oahu

September 14, 2022 by Island Miler

Red Light Cameras Are Coming to Oahu

Beware! Red light cameras are coming to Oahu. On the surface, such a program sounds like a good thing, as it should help improve the safety of our roadways. However, I have next to no faith that the system will be implemented justly, nor am I convinced the system would become just another revenue-generating stream.  … [Read more...] about Red Light Cameras Are Coming to Oahu

The Surfjack Hotel Waikiki is Stymied by Inconveniences

July 14, 2022 by Island Miler

The Surfjack Hotel was the second mid-century modern hotel to open in Waikiki, following The Laylow. Given how much we enjoyed The Laylow and the cool aesthetic of the Surfjack, I've long wanted to give them a try. Too bad many inconveniences hold back the hotel.  … [Read more...] about The Surfjack Hotel Waikiki is Stymied by Inconveniences
