Etienne Richard: Always take at least 1 fla or of the month, 1 of your choice and 1 long john (althought their chocolate eclairs are also quite good), then you will have 3 pieces of awesome pastries.
ACM: Best ever! Line is quick. They have vanilla, chocolate, coconut mustard Malasadas and the flavor of the month!
Bravo: A must on the list of things to do for first time visitors or regulars, the best ‘donut’ in this world, it is malasades – a Portuguese sweet dough fried. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts

Curtis Shoung: Pork laulau, pipikaula ribs, kalua pork. All very tasty. Add that chili pepper water.
Travel Channel: Home to traditional favorites like kalua pig and pipikaula short rib. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
Nathan Kam: This place is very popular, so expect to wait if you come during peak lunch hour. Parking is also limited and you may have to park on the street. But it's definitely worth the stop!

Diner · Ala Moana - Kakaako · 93 tips and reviews
Bryan Agustin: Great Food! Huge portions. ...Family style.....You must have a big appetite! Another Side Street Inn location is Kapahulu
Nathan Kam: The pan fried pork chops are to die for here...but so is the fried butter poundcake. You've been warned.
Epicurious: A restaurant's ultimate 5-star review is the presence of off-duty chefs eating at its bar. Classic dishes are supplemented by more unconventional dishes to form a well-rounded, delectable meal.
