Best Home Cooking Restaurants In Honolulu Near Me

4worldlovers: Moku Kitchen is a chef-driven concept that brings Hawaii’s rich upcountry farming and ranching heritage to downtown Honolulu’s urban lifestyle. The upcountry way of life echoes a simpler time where food was locally-sourced and cooked over an open fire on the ranch. At Moku, we like to keep things simple and will serve Chef Peter Merriman’s twist on upcountry specials from our lively rotisserie oven.

4worldlovers: One of the most iconic restaurants in Waikiki, House Without A Key is Halekulani’s popular indoor/outdoor gathering spot for sunset cocktails, appetizers, and Hawaiian entertainment. Drink in memorable sunsets under our 130+ year old Kiawe Tree with views of the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head. This setting is the perfect backdrop to preserve the honored tradition of cocktails and Hawaiian music under the stars and by the sea.

Immortalized in a 1925 Charlie Chan novel, House Without A Key is known for its signature mai tai, a classic to be enjoyed any time of the day. We invite you to try this Halekulani classic at home.

Our iconic poolside restaurant, known for its sunset cocktails and live Hawaiian music, will now be open a little later. Dinner service will now start at 5:00 pm with the last seating at 9:00 pm.

With entertainment starting earlier at 5:00 pm, you don’t have to rush to catch the sunset…or the green flash. Our lovely hula dancer will continue to make her appearances from 6 – 8 pm. We are adding a solo artist from 8:15 pm to closing for those who want to linger and enjoy one more cocktail. Cheers!

Serving traditional, local Hawaiian food since 1946 this family-owned business has impacted locals and tourist alike around the world. Come dine with us and experience the spirit of aloha with our ohana!

In 1946, Helen Chock opened the doors to Helena's Hawaiian Food, a humble eatery on North King St. in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Over the past 64 years Helena's Hawaiian Food has been serving the local community quality Hawaiian cuisine. In 2000, the James Beard Foundation awarded Helena's Hawaiian Food the Regional Classic Award. Helena's is one of a handful of restaurants in Hawaii to receive this distinctive award. After nearly 55 years, the restaurant was relocated to its current location on 1240 N. School Street.

Helena's remains the simple and unpretentious eatery it was over 6 decades ago. The restaurant is now run by Helen's grandson, Craig Katsuyoshi.

Helena's Hawaiian Food started off as a business just like many. Over the years, the founder raised and taught her children the value of hard work, perseverance and passion. This business not only became a legacy of her own, but one for her entire family. At the same time, it became a fixture in the local culture and a place that helped to cement together the community that it served.
