Where’s the best plate lunch near Waikiki?  - Linda

Aloha Linda,

 The best plate lunch place near Waikiki would most likely be Rainbow Drive-Inn, located along Kapahulu Avenue. It’s actually on the corner of Martha and Campbell Avenues, but it’s easier to get there if you just follow Kapahulu Avenue from Wakiki.

Another good plate lunch place is Diamond Head Grille located on the corner of Diamond Head Road and Camble Avenue.

Both places are actually frequented by locals and visitors alike. However, Rainbow Drive-Inn is by far the more popular one out of the two.

There are also other plate lunch places in Waikiki that you might want to check out. The Food Court inside the International Marketplace is of worthy note, and of course, you can’t forget the ubiquitous L&L Drive-Inn (also known as L&L Hawaiian Barbecue). Check out http://www.hawaiianbarbecue.com/oahu.html for location information.
