    Ribbon fries, banana pancakes, pork adobo
    Lore M.

    I really liked this place, super close to where we were staying so it was our go to spot. Tiny inside with a couple of tables to eat outside. They have a good variety to choose from. They are from Argentina so they have argentina style empanadas, I ordered the chicken empanada and really enjoyed it could use some salsa or more flavor tho. Banana pancakes were bomb! They also have coconut syrup to make it even better! Loved the adobo plate and their custom ribbon fries were soo good! I was not a fan of the lemonade drinks, they were super sweet. Prices are pretty good being that it's in the prime of waikiki. Orders can take some time but the staff is cool.

    Bacon cheeseburger (comes with fries)
    Lindsay G.

    Cute lil spot for quick and friendly service. Everything I've eaten here has been delicious. I usually eat breakfast here (burritos, croissant sandwiches, and spam and eggs over rice). Good bang for your buck! I recently had their bacon cheeseburger and that was well worth the money and calories Their burgers come with fries and those always seem to be cooked to perfection. They've got a variety of sauces including spicy mayo that's good in pretty much everything. They've also got quite an array of drinks... I've only ordered coffee there but I heard their boba tea was pretty good. This is probably one the cheaper options in this area but I think the food is pretty damn good! Come give them a try and support their small business.

    Located on a back street you'll find it next to a very popular hostel. The owner operators are very nice, personable and easy to like. If I recall correctly they are from Argentina and that said you'd think birria tacos and empanadas should be one of their strong suits. They offer wide variety of items though. From burgers to fries, Filipino classics like lechon kawalli, pork adobo and lumpia! What did we order? - Bacon Cheese Burger: 3/5 Stars - Fries: 3/5 Stars - Birria Tacos: 2/5 Stars - Lumpia Shanghai: 2/5 Stars Run down: - On standard items like a bacon Cheeseburger that could easily be fixed with just bit more seasoning. The fact that they've not given that much consideration to the flavor has it fall short of standard expectations. - The lumpia was very bland, honestly had a flavor and feel of a poor quality frozen store bought lumpia. - The Birria tacos also victim of poor flavor and the consomé was the so far from the traditional standard of flavorful broth that if this were a persons first experience of Birria tacos, said guest would likely not be interested in trying one from another restaurant if this were the basis. Overall, if Hi.Shack gave a little more care to the flavor as they do to being personable, they could become a solid late night go to. But for now, it falls short, and I'd likely recommend McDonalds or Dominos to a friend verses a rec to Hi.Shack Kitchen

    Lemonade menu
    Brian P.

    We were staying around the corner and came here for their flavored lemonade. They also sell burgers, sandwiches, fried food, and other similar items. The red guava lemonade we got on our first night was really good and came in a 24 oz plastic cup as advertised. The next day we ordered a mixed lemonade, specifically the Honey Gurl (honeydew & passionfruit) and it came in a paper 20 oz coffee cup instead. The mixed lemonade was definitely not as good. I would recommend the red guava lemonade but just wished there was some more consistency across their drinks. Both the flavored and mixed lemonade are advertised as being a 24 oz plastic cup on their menu

    Lumpia Shanghai, Fried Noodles, and Empinadas and good beers
    John K.

    Ate dinner here at the HI Shack on Lemon Ave. Last night. We had beef empanadas fried Noodles and lumpia Shanghai. The service was counter order and a vibrator pager. The ladies were all friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is a hole in the wall fast food local restaurant. They are quick with great tasting food and offer a huge variety with great hours of service. Give them a try when in the area.

    Breakfast Burrito

    So we were a little Leary but o very surprised and happy with the food and service. Banana pancakes were the bomb!!! So good. Breakfast burrito and the side salad were very good and the chicken empanada did not disappoint. Would go again!

    Lumpia for 30 bucks
    Jonathan J.

    If I could give negative stars, I would. I don't know what unholy kitchen circus I ordered from, but somehow I paid $30 in tips and fees just to receive absolutely nothing but disappointment and existential dread. First they made me wait hours -- HOURS -- as if my time is some kind of complimentary appetizer they can serve cold. Then DoorDash hit me with the fees like it was a premium subscription to misery. By the time the food finally arrived, it looked like it survived a battlefield and lost. And the lumpia? I've seen paper towels with more crisp and integrity. The lumpia were colder than my soul after waiting. The taste was 90% melted garbage, 10% regret. And the meal I actually ordered? Apparently fictional, because it wasn't in the bag. I never got my beef noodles. For $30 extra, I basically tipped the driver for apologizing and paid a convenience fee for a cold lumpia funeral. This wasn't a meal -- it was a life lesson in suffering. At this point, I genuinely believe the kitchen is run by gremlins blindfolded, using instructions written in crayon. Save yourself. Save your money. Save your sanity. I would rather eat a microwaved gas-station lumpia that fell on the floor than ever order from here again.

    Pork Kawali
    Katrina L.

    Absolute robbery. No where near the amount advertised (check photo below).Nearly $20 for six small pieces of pork. Never again.

    Super yummy cute spot behind park shore hotel. Food was good and so was the service . Breakfast burrito is good

    As mentioned by other reviewers, if you're looking for an inexpensive, decent sandwich on Waikiki…read morebeach, look no further. Conveniently located near Duke's, there's one outdoor table nearby, but really, just pick up a sandwich and take it to the beach! Staff was very friendly. Plenty of options for sandwiches and salads (and maybe more options, just what I noticed). I got the tuna sandwich and added a slice of pepper jack. I said no mayo or mustard, though I'd probably recommend mayo. There are so many veggies that it needs a little sauce. The veggies make you feel like you're eating something super healthy! There wasn't a ton of tuna in the sandwich, but half was filling enough for me. I'll save the rest for tomorrow.

    I'm going to start by saying you won't find a sandwich shop in Waikiki like Pai's Deli. Their…read moresandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. Skipping this place would be a crime. And prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's a hidden gem, tucked inside the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort just to the right of Duke's. I've been here many times and have ordered both smoothies and sandwiches. Let me tell you, the bread is incredibly soft, the greens are crisp and fresh, and the protein is ALWAYS tasty. The team works hard to craft your sandwich every time, and I always get a warm "thank you" when I pick mine up (I swear I got into a thank-you battle once, and of course, they won). I highly recommend the tuna sandwich. It's seasoned perfectly and generously filled with tuna. The greens are always piled high. Shredded carrots, spinach leaves, and more sprouts than you'd think possible. It's healthy and DELICIOUS. I usually add avocado, and the sandwich with avocado comes out to $13.75, which is a great deal for Waikiki. Oh! and you get a little skewer of two pineapple slices! It's cute, refreshing, and perfectly ripe every time. The last smoothie I ordered was the Avocado Green Island. It's made with mango, avocado, spinach, banana, greek yogurt, and coconut milk. It's creamy, slightly tangy, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. I've also tried their chicken salad sandwich (money!) and my favorite, the Captain Salad. I recommend getting it with Caesar dressing. The brand of ranch they use isn't really my thing. They also have a homemade balsamic vinagarette that sounds amazing. The salad is huge, topped with turkey and generous crumbles of bacon. I'm telling you, they're serving hit after hit after hit at this spot. Go and enjoy ASAP!

    Sorry, but gotta keep it real-- this place was a foul ball. Mrs. Picante and I wanted our cake and…read moreeat it too: we wanted pho, but didn't want to walk too far from the hotel. This place was just two blocks away, so we braved the November misty rain and consistent wind through the buildings to make it over here. To be fair, this seemed more like a Vietnamese coffee joint and a Banh Mi place... so maybe coming here for pho wasn't our best idea. They had two kinds available that night-- beef and chicken. Since chicken pho is not something I'm willing to try, we both ordered up the dac biet. The broth was bland with a thin and unpleasant veil of grease along the top that congealed quickly on the rim of the bowl. It wasn't hot enough, or maybe the pre-cooked and chilled noodle block they poured it over cooled it off. Meat was chewy and low quality. The sprouts and basil were soggy and wilted. Honestly, it was a get up and leave kind of thing. The whole place was just dingy and didn't feel great. I've eaten at some very modest places in my native San Gabriel Valley in Southern California, so it's not a snobbery thing. It's a "someone get a Swiffer wet jet and some paper towels and give this whole place a once-over. Speaking of once, that's the sum total of times we'll ever eat here. Too bad... because it was really close to our hotel :)

    We are weekly regulars at Sprout Sandwich Shop and it's usually good to very good. My issue at…read moretimes is that the fillings can be skimpy and not evenly distributed. I think that you should be able to taste a bit of everything in the sandwich with every bite. There have been times that the pickled red onion was on the skimpy side - like 80% of the time. To me a great sandwich is when everything is evenly spread on the bread (house mayo, hummus, garlic aioli, etc.) and evenly laid out (turkey, chicken, meats, etc.) and not just piled high in the center with the edges bare. Today my Duke sandwich was fantastic! Whoever made it literally had everything evenly spread and laid out on my multigrain bread. The lettuce was over the edges, but who cares. The carved turkey was moist and the bacon had the right amount of crunch. I actually had pickled red onions in every bite and not just a few pieces pulled apart by the layers and spread out on top of the meat. I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich that just disappeared too fast. It's so easy to continually support our neighborhood businesses when they serve great food.

And you're going to need that for your day jaunting across Waikiki in your new seal-print bathing suit. So ditch that Moko Loko and grab yourself a beautiful sandwich from Sprout, you'll feel a lot better about your trip to Hawaii. I love that Sprout has vegetable-forward options even in their meat-based sandwiches. The pesto chicken salad was loaded with beautiful green goodies which made this treat as aesthetically pleasing as it was delectable. They're also slapping down some of the best local Hawaiian ingredients into these here sanguines. The pesto itself was mac-nut based, which was intriguing. I'll be honest, I couldn't taste the difference between that and a pine nut pesto, but it was friggin delish pesto either way. The only downside I can think of is that the bread here lands somewhere between "ok" and "good". I've never had a bread quite like it, but it reminds me of a mix between an artisanal white bread, and a painini bread that you would find in Italy. It got the job done, but I feel like it could be upgraded. Sprout is worth a visit before or after your beach trip. The surrounding neighborhood is also a lively area with tons of fun restaurants and shopping.
