This is literally 1000x better than your chain burger joint and it's family run and it's so cheap! Hidden gem. Saved my marriage

Staycation in Waikiki. This little restaurant is outside facing the street, so a perfect place to…read morepeople watch and possibly get rained on...but hey, we were on vacation and we don't care. The food was fine, nothing to rave about, but the service, well our server was the only one working that day, and she was hustling. The food comes from somewhere in the food hall, and she was running plates back and forth and making drinks behind the bar. Husband got the ceviche, and i got some tacos. It's also an entertainment venue, if you find people watching entertaining. We watched one tourist recording the rubbish truck and compactor and it was, in fact, quite a site.

Honestly, been needing to write this review but it was hard to get to it after vacation (early…read moresept) I was very surprised of how much we enjoyed our birria ramen, steak/Asada tacos AND fish tacos!! I am never one to order a fish taco but our waiter Mitchel suggested it because it's not "fishy" tasting and it's local. Let me tell you, it was THE BEST! My boyfriend and I shared the food and we both agreed it was a delicious first meal on Oahu. We had a late start to our morning and they were just opening when we got there so we had the place to ourselves. I'm grateful we did because Mitchel our waiter was able to chat with us as we enjoyed our meal. He was awesome!! Thank you Mitchel for your waitering service AND guidance/tips and a bit of Hawai'i's culture. It is an open space so you're technically eating outdoors with some overhead coverage so be mindful of the weather. 10/10 coming back when blessed to visit again!

Traveled to Hawaii recently and one of our couple friends invited us to this place! I'm really glad…read morewe got to try the food because it was probably the most reasonably-priced meal with excellent quality, and it was seafood! My friend and her husband got seafood burgers (didn't get a chance to photograph their food), my husband got the salmon burger and I got the seafood salad which you can pick from Mahi or Ono fish and it came with pieces of shrimp. The service was simple and quick; our food came out at a decent time. And the ambiance was bright, well-lit, appeared to be clean. We were so busy catching up with each other that all I can remember was that it was great food with great company. Next time we are in Hawaii, we will for sure be back! Thanks to Paia staff. They were friendly and helped with questions I had about the menu. Mahalo!

TLDR: would not recommend ordering fish at Paia Fish Market, will not return…read more Pros: - very generous portion size - good fries - magic sauce - price (for waikiki) Cons: - dry, overcooked fish - wait time We got fish & chips, blackened snapper with slaw & fries, shrimp fajitas, and a cheese pasta kid's meal. The only rave review was from the kid, who's a very picky eater, so I can confidently recommend the plain spaghetti with cheese on the side. Frozen fish sticks from the supermarket would be better than the fish in the fish & chips. Fish was very dry, breading was meh. Pretty sure they came pre-breaded out of a freezer bag. 4 out of 4 adults tried it and left half of it behind. Blackened snapper's seasoned well, but again...overcooked & very dry. Cole slaw was OK. Shrimp fajitas were good -- unexpectedly tomato-based and very drippy, but good. The saving grace of the meal was the magic sauce.

4/10/26 single slice with a "twist"…read more I got to this location and it was fair that it be busy cause of the rain. I went around and looked at the 5offerings... it was easy for me to choose it had to be quick so I ordered at aloha by the slice. single slice with a "twist" I say twist cause initially I wanted Sausage and humbly the worker (Teddy M) expressed nicely that they didn't have sausage and I asked for ham... now remember I wanted the "single" slice with one"topping" and no sausage but ham was available. If many of you follow my reviews... I don't care for Hawaiian pizza.... The last Hawaiian pizza I had was at "Spitfire Grill" in the Dukes lane Market and that got 5stars BECAUSE- it had pork grinds on the Hawaiian pizza - which by the way is really delicious and I found it an epic addition to the pizza The reason for my 5stars this time is because Teddy decided that he give me a Slice of Hawaiian pizza that has the "Ham" & Pineapple on it.... Even when I asked for the single topping slice... he was perhaps going above and beyond ((there was an impending line in back of me)) so he choose to take the slice already made warm it in the wood fire stove then take it and cut in half.... He did this for the right person... me!!!! Happiness to hit one customer with a slice that had two toppings... I will add that I realized this may not go as well for other people... but if your one to understand the food service part of it then you get where my 5stars comes from... Thanks Aloha by the slice... I'll be going back again. (I'm still not a sucker for pineapple on my pizza)

I came here to watch Game 2 of the WNBA Finals at Tipsy Tiki. No one was at their bar so I asked…read morethe bartender at the Shaka Bar if the back TV could be put on the Valkyries game as the rest were on MNF. She agreed and asked the owner/manager for assistance. The owner must have not known I was in earshot and was very negative in someone wanting to watch women's sports there. The bartender told me I would have to buy something, I said of course. As I planned to eat and drink the entire game there. The owner then came out with someone else to change the channel right after I bought a beer. Needless to say I left and went to Rivals where the bartender was more than happy to change one of their many tvs to the WNBA finals. Needless to say I won't be back to the place that baits and switches. Update: the operations manager came to Rivals to apologize. He said he didn't know someone asked to watch WNBA Finals game and didn't see me, so when another guest asked for it to be switched, he switched it. That may be true, but his female manager who was so negatively vocal about someone wanting to watch women's sports was standing right there and didn't say a word. Not very Aloha Spirit like.

I came here on a Tuesday with my partner. He is very particular about his Hispanic food so we…read moredecided to try this spot out as it was recommended by many. It is a small to mid sized spot, but still has a good amount of seating. Some window bar seats, and then about 6 tables with chairs and booth seats. The service style is similar to a take out spot (so very minimal), they do ask if you're dining in or taking out, but it seems like you order, seat yourself, and pick up your own food. They would wipe your table down per your request though. Also to note, they have a $3 taco Tuesday deal but it is ONLY for specific tacos AND only during specific hours on Tuesday. We weren't specifically going for the deal so it didn't matter to us, but manage your expectations if you were looking for a deal (esp since some of their tacos are quite pricey) We ordered: * Steak Quesadilla: 7.6/10 This was good, decently cheesy and the carne asada was pretty flavorful as well. * Carne Asada Taco: 7.2/10 Since it's the same steak as the quesadilla it was pretty good as well. I feel like the carne asada has more Asian flavors and spices than Hispanic. It was good regardless. * Carnitas Taco: 7/10 This was good too, similar to kalua pork. * Baja Fish Taco: 8.3/10 This was pretty solid. The fish tasted like it was good quality and the aioli (same as the camarones) was good pairing with the taco * Camarones Taco: 8.1/10 I liked this quite a lot, the cheese skirt brought a nice textual and flavor contrast to the rest of the taco, I also liked the aioli paired with it. If it had slightly more shrimp it would be even better * Horchata: 6/10, this was okay, kind of grainy. I enjoyed everything, my partner on the other hand thought most of the things were just okay. The only thing he really liked was the baja one. Also we would both note that instead of being topped with cilantro and onions, all the tacos had cabbage on top instead? (some had pico with it, some had a little bit of onion). I wouldn't mind coming back but I think my partner would rather not.

Steak was good but I think it's only the 3rd time ever eating a steak taco just personal preference rather have chicken or pork. Fish taco was good had a little spice to it. I have low tolerance for spice. Everything was very tasty and came with rice and beans. Added side order of sour cream. Cashier was friendly gave us recommendations. It gives mom and pop shop or family own shop. Place is a little run down but the food was good. Will definitely return

Seated on high tops near the front. Was a lil chilly which I didn't expect but it was fine. 4/5 Mai tais were strong - maybe a lil too strong for me lol. I had to order it though. 4/5 Poke tacos were good, a bit tangy but a bit small. 5/5 Mushroom & truffle pizza was DELISH. Absolutely would come again for this. 5/5 Macadamia crusted fish with garlic fried rice, sautéed bok choy was so good. Perfectly cooked, had some mango salsa with it. The bok choy was well seasoned and small bites. 5/5 jalapeño mashed potatoes was AHHHMAAAZING. I knew when I saw on the menu I had to try it and it did not disappoint!! 3/5 banana cream pie. Our sweet waiter brought us out one since we were on the fence. It wasn't sweet enough and to be honest I'm glad I didn't pay for it. 5/5 Soul Purpose performing live music - absolutely loved all the R&B, the songs were sung differently and it was perfection. Def would come again but make reservations next time.

I stopped by here two nights ago with my father for dinner. We had landed in Oahu earlier in the…read moreday and after checking into our hotel were looking for a somewhat light dinner. After browsing on Yelp I found Honolulu Tacos. Even knowing the address, this place was a little tricky to find. In any case, it ended up being one of six small stalls all next to each other with shared seating. There was a single lady working here on this day and she quickly took both my order and my dad's and our food was ready quickly. For dinner on this evening I chose a carnitas taco, a Korean taco and a fish taco while my dad went with the three crispy tacos. Our food came out at about the same time and since we were tired we decided to take it back to our hotel room. Once there I worked my way through all three tacos. First up was the carnitas which had a nice pork flavor and was incredibly moist. Second was the Korean taco which reminded me a lot of the carnitas but with kimchi added in for a bit of tang and extra flavor. Last but certainly not least was the fish taco which was larger than the others and ended up being really good. The breading was crispy while the fish inside was tender and I also enjoyed the sauce they put on it. My dad enjoyed his crispy tacos as well, even if he thought the price was a bit on the higher side. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. We both enjoyed our food and I really liked the setup with the small food stall pod.
