most fondly remembered Oahu restaurants

I often write about restaurants that shined brightly in our island skies, but, sadly, are no longer with us. This time, I decided to do something different. Last week, I asked readers to vote on their top ten “gone but not forgotten” Oahu restaurants.

Over 150 of you responded, including Gov. Josh Green. I’ve tallied the votes in this 2023 snapshot of the 25 most-fondly remembered Oahu restaurants. This week, I’ll count down from number 25 to 13. Next week, I’ll reveal the top 12.

Last week, I unveiled No. 25 down to No. 13. They were: The Bistro at No. 25, Waikiki Lau Yee Chai, King’s Bakery, Indigo, Third Floor, Keo’s, KC Drive Inn, Kuhio Grill, Haiku Gardens, McCully Chop Suey, Yum Yum Tree, Like Like Drive In and No. 13, Patti’s Chinese Kitchen.
