Time for Tempura at Kiki’s in Waikiki!

Among the eateries we frequent for lunch when in Waikiki (along with regular spot Ginza Bairan) is the wonderful Tempura Kiki in the ASIA STIX foodcourt of the Waikiki Plaza.
There are about 5 places we go to for tempura, but Kiki is by fave my favorite, especially the Shrimp set which comes with 4 Shrimp and 4 vegetables, along with miso soup and all you can eat pickled cabbage!
Priced about 25-35 bucks but they give Kama'aina discount which makes the price just right!


First time we went to Kiki, we didn't even realize it was a new restaurant- when we sat down, we thought we were at Kaneko Hannosuke (another place we really loved) , and only when we saw the menu realized it was a NEW tempura place in its spot! Happily it was just as great!

Dior Cafe Ala Moana Shopping Center

Huh, cruised Ala Moana Shopping Center the other morning and found that the Dior Cafe had been taken down and cleared out!~ They opened in 2019 but after COVID hit they closed up shop shortly thereafter and sat languishing on the side...wonder if they'll be building something new there.
Will keep an eye out on that spot.....
