FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A quick guide to how NateEatsHawaii finds, tastes, and curates Oahu’s best eats.
How do you choose the restaurants that appear on NateEatsHawaii?
Discover places naturally while exploring or through local recommendations. I look for food that feels made with heart and good local energy. Once I visit, I eat there, film a Reel, and talk story with the owner. If you see a “Nate Recommends” badge, it means I genuinely loved it.
Is the food map updated in real time?
Yes. The map updates as soon as I verify new places. I personally double-check every restaurant, food truck, and pop-up before adding it, so everything you see is current, accurate, and locally verified.
Do you earn commissions from the restaurants you feature?
No. NateEatsHawaii is completely independent. I don’t earn money or receive payment from restaurants. Sometimes I feature places that invite me to visit, but every post is based purely on my own experience and honest opinion.
Does the food map work on my phone?
Yes! The site is designed mobile-first, so the map, filters, and restaurant pages work seamlessly on any phone, tablet, or desktop. You can explore Oahu’s best eats anywhere, anytime.
Why does the site ask for my location?
It helps show how far each restaurant is from you and improves your map experience. Your location stays private and is never shared or visible to anyone.
How can I report an issue on the website or food map?
If you see something that doesn’t look right — like a restaurant that’s closed, moved, or has outdated details — just tap “Report incorrect info” on the restaurant’s page. I personally review every report and make corrections as soon as possible.
How can I request a NateEatsHawaii visit?
If you run a restaurant or food truck, email [email protected] with your details — like your location, story, and Instagram. I personally read every message and reply when I can.
