There are a ton of amazing options in Waikiki for dining.

Adverbs of manner

And what I genuinely love about Hawaii is that they offer an impressive and diverse variety of delicious Japanese cuisine.

Adverbs of degree

These are the places I enjoyed and definitely think are worth a visit for anyone that's traveling to Hawaii.

Momosan Ramen Not only was this my favorite spot, but it was also my husband's favorite as well.

We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space and chose to sit outside both times we visited.

During their happy hour, we ordered sushi rolls as an appetizer.

I had the tsukemen and my husband had the chicken ramen.

Monkey Pod Kitchen Our friend of ours enthusiastically suggested this restaurant and insisted that we must try their mai tais.

One of the most popular drinks in Hawaii is the mai tais, so of course we had to try the mai tais here.

All of the ingredients in this drink are house-made, and my favorite part was the honey lilikoi foam.

My husband had the ahi steak dish and I had the fish tacos.

Everything about this place, from the atmosphere to the food, was awesome.

Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko For all things matcha, you must visit Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko.

It is truly a matcha lover's dream destination that caters to every preference.

What I love most about their desserts is that it's not overwhelmingly sweet.

I could not get enough of their soft-serve matcha.

Giovanni's Shrimp Truck The food truck scene in Hawaii is really popular, and some of the best foods on the island are found at food trucks.

I absolutely love shrimp, and that was one of their most popular dishes, which is the shrimp scampi.

It was a little bit on the pricey side, but it was totally worth it for the experience and I did enjoy my really garlicky shrimp.

Tsurutontan Udon is my ultimate favorite comfort food.

And during my last visit to Hawaii, I went to the popular Madogame Udon, which is known for its amazing offerings.

But this time, I wanted to try a different udon place.

We visited during their happy hour, which is a fantastic time because that's when they offer their secret menu, which features dishes at discounted prices.

However, I found the tempura to be a little subpar.

Musubi Cafe Musubi Cafe stood out to me because they are the only establishment in the area that specializes exclusively in rice balls.

All the rice balls at Musubi Cafe are lovingly handmade, and they offer a wide variety of different flavors that cater to different tastes.

If you're heading to one of the beautiful beaches for the day and need to pack a light lunch, rice balls are truly the perfect choice.

Royal Hawaiian Bakery This bakery is located inside the historic Royal Hawaiian Resort, and its iconic pink exterior is super cute and picturesque.

The bakery offers a variety of dishes in pink, and I really wanted to try their pink pancakes.

But oh my gosh, I actually arrived a tad too late as their kitchen closed at noon, and I think I arrived like shortly after noon.

But I was still glad I stopped by because there were a variety of pink pastries.

Even though I missed out on the pink pancakes, I was glad I stopped by because the hotel itself was such a delight to walk around.
