Looking for good eats in Honolulu! Any suggestions?

Try "poke"

Marukame Udon!.. and the little old lady who sells malasadas at the King's Village Farmer's Market (I bought one, took a bite and immediately turned around and bought 6 more.. they were better than Leonard's IMO).

Where in HNL? If you're in Waikiki, I'm sorry to say there's not much that is AUTHENTIC Hawaiian Cuisine. The International Market closed down and was replaced by an actual partial-outdoor shopping center so the good plate lunches there have been replaced with Panda Express and Sbarro.
Musubi Cafe Iyasume - excellent place to start your day with onigiri and musubi. Or snacks for a road trip.
Marukame Udon which was already said - Closest franchise from Japan to Mainland North America. The lineup is long, but moves fast.
L&L BBQ and Rainbow Drive-In is where it's at for a solid plate lunch near Waikiki. But they are still outside of the Waikiki area and will take some work to get to, especially if you don't have a car.
If you can get to it, Romy's Kahuku Prawns Shrimp Hut is amazing for a lunch. We rent cars when we hit Oahu and we usually stop by it on the way back from the North Shore (along with the Dole Plantation for some Dole Whip too)
IDK If Macky's Shrimp Truck is still running too, but it gives Romy's a run for it's money.
Everything else you can more or less find here - Teppanyaki, sashimi, Bar food with surf and turf dishes, Dim Sum including Xia Long Bao... The Malasadas are cool too, but those are like Portugese. I get them from Leonard's Bakery instead of the place the above person recommended. Nothing else really stands out. Panda Express maybe?
We don't have one in THIS city so....

Also, if you're doing a Luau, don't do the weakass one at the Polynesian Cultural Centre. Spend the money, and do the Royal Hawaiian's Luau. Very worth it for the difference.

Oh Lawson's at the Sheraton Waikiki sells homemade mochi ice cream using fresh fruit. Solid choice if by the beach.

Snap, everytime I get a notification, I remember something:
Eggs N' Things is a super awesome breakfast place serving waffles made with passionfruit and lilikoi in the batter - also in the jams. Get your fix, its super good and not-quite low key these days.

Shirokiya Japan Village Walk

Cheap beer and great variety of food!

Here are some of my favorites: https://www.solemateadventures.com/local-food-honolulu/ Also, I love Nana's Green Tea on Kalakaua in the Japanese food court!

Ono Seafood for poke!

Take a look at my blog about where I like to eat in the Waikiki area found here: https://www.mahalodistributors.ca/blog

Tommy Bahama Restaurant, Bar and Store. The food was fabulous and the restaurant is located above the store. You need to go in the store to get up to the restaurant.

Uncle Bo's Pupu. So good.

Side street Inn on hopaka St. Kaka'ako Kitchen at Ward Center. Leonard's bakery on kapahulu (try the malasadas while they're fresh and warm). Waiola shave ice at the Waiola general store.

Marukame Udon is a great affordable place to go. The line moves fast so don’t be intimidated. Maui Brewing has a great happy hour and live music and the brunch is good.
