Looking for a great meal in Waikiki without blowing your budget? I pulled together all 40 qualifying spots and ranked them by real visitor ratings from NateEatsHawaii — so you can eat well and keep your wallet happy.
Topping the list is Marugame Udon, Waikiki's beloved udon shop serving fresh Sanuki-style noodles made in-store every day — and it's one I personally recommend (look for the NateEatsHawaii badge). Elsewhere on the list you'll find crowd favorites like Ice Monster Hawaii, a contemporary counter-serve known for Taiwanese shaved ice in flavors like papaya and matcha, and Harbor Pub & Pizza, a family-owned pub dishing up nachos, pizza, and sandwiches in casual marina-inspired digs.
Every spot here earned its rank through genuine visitor ratings on the site. Restaurants Nate has personally visited are marked with the NateEatsHawaii badge on the page — a quick way to spot verified picks as you browse.
