10 years of chowing down here and I’m still obsessed. Teriyaki chicken rice plate? SLAPS. I get all rice, extra chicken, and I’m basically food-coma’d till tomorrow. But the real MVP? The cheesecake hiding in the bakery like it’s some undercover dessert boss—thick crust, melts in your mouth, topped with mango blueberries. They don’t hype it up, but they 1000% should. Don’t sleep on it!

Believe the hype. The grill is fantastic. The market is fantastic. Went here pre and post diamond head. The Arnold Palmer is to die for especially but really everything. Don’t expect fancy service, just good food at a reasonable price.

Affordable, local bakery and take out grill. Their blueberry scones are delicious and more cake like, very moist. Also love their Okinawa sweet potato haupia pie. All the deserts are fantastic. It’s a must stop and worth the extra calories. We walked from our hotel 1.7 miles just to get there so we could burn calories while eating the tasty sweets. We also tried the salmon salad, salmon burger , teriyaki chicken with side salad and rice. All very Delicious. Just make sure you allow for 20-30 mins for them to cook the food as it’s made to order and there are several orders during busy times. Pricing is very affordable for Waikiki / Honolulu area. must stop to try their foods.

I love getting my lunch and dinner from here. Place your order at the grill counter outside, then walk in to the market where they have great salads, sandwiches and cakes and pastries. I love their ham sandwich, chocolate ganache cake and carrot cake but I am sure everything else is just as good. I tend to stick to my picks although I really should try the other items they have as well. From the grill, the garlic shrimp is excellent and same for the hamburger steak plate and loco Moco. What else can I say..... it’s a really good place to grab a quick meal.

What a great store—it’s the perfect place to grab lunch or a quick snack. They’re well known for their scones, and the banana scones were so moist and delicious. I’m looking forward to trying the lamb sandwich next time!

Best scones on island? YupsTucked away off Monserrat Avenue near Diamond Head Crater and HCC is where this Market/grill/bakery is located. When you crave those blueberry cream cheese scones you gotta go here early... Snooze you lose. Moist and filling, a perfect complement to a fresh brewed coffee. Always grab the blueberry scones though recently the banana scones have been another favorite of mine too5 stars.

The rumors are true, you don't need to hear it again from me but I'll say it anyway, this place is great. An institution, if you will. I might be applying that term liberally since I really don't know much about this spot but it feels deserved. Portabella mushrooms are still criminally underappreciated (is that a word? Doesn't look right) in our society, it deserves to shine, and shine it does here particularly in the form of their portabella mushroom sandwich. Really, their buns are so damn good (sweet, golden, plush) they stuff em with pretty much anything and it'll taste like a dream. Being the genius I am I got the portabella sandwich with a side of grilled salmon and made a portabella salmon sandwich which they should consider adding to their menu! because what it would earn in sales from myself alone would TRIPLE their annual income. Slight exaggeration. Anywhoo, not much more to say really, it's so good, it's just always so good. Order a lot. Try all their sauces. Go crazy people
