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: 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

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: 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

Review: Arden Waikiki

April 10, 2024 by Island Miler

Arden Waikiki

With my shift in priorities came, not only a reduction in travel, but a massive scaling back in the amount I dine out. As such, I haven't really been keeping track of restaurant openings. But, Mrs. Island Miler wanted to treat me to a nice night out, and I ended up picking Arden Waikiki. … [Read more...] about Review: Arden Waikiki

Review: Obake Honolulu

November 8, 2023 by Island Miler

Obake Honolulu Ho, Hayan!

The loss of Kaimuki's HeiHo House was a gut-punch to me. There, they served up quirky, unique, yet insanely delicious food and drink, by some of the best people in the industry. So I was elated to hear that the team would be back together at a completely different concept: Obake Honolulu.  … [Read more...] about Review: Obake Honolulu

Review: Luna Mexican Kitchen

September 21, 2023 by Island Miler

Luna Mexican Kitchen

On our final night in the Bay Area, I tried to get us another fantastic dining experience. This was more difficult than I thought it would be, as San Jose actually has some great options. Eventually, I settled on checking out Luna Mexican Kitchen, which has a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand designation.  … [Read more...] about Review: Luna Mexican Kitchen

Review: Dim Sum at Yank Sing

August 24, 2023 by Island Miler

Yank Sing

During our last visit to the Bay Area, we checked out the phenomenal take on Chinese dim sum - Mister Jiu's. But as much as we loved that restaurant, we wanted to try something more traditional, so I booked a brunch reservation for dim sum at Yank Sing.  … [Read more...] about Review: Dim Sum at Yank Sing

Review: The Progress SF

August 17, 2023 by Island Miler

The Progress SF

Do you know what's more difficult than choosing a hotel in San Francisco? Picking a dinner spot. With just two nights to play in the city, I had to pick carefully. As such, I decided to book a table at one of the hottest restaurants in the Bay Area: The Progress SF.  … [Read more...] about Review: The Progress SF
