If you make it up to the North Shore, this place is a must! They have three locations; one in Waikiki, one in Shark's Cove North Shore and this one across from Sunset Beach (my fav). They have not only the best vibes and location, but incredible and healthy food and coffee! If you're here in the morning you have to try the almond coconut bullet coffee or the bullet coffee smoothie. The avocado toast is simply amazing and the half monkey half blue dream bowl is my favorite! They even allow you to fill up on free kangen water (amazing health benefits).

Doraku has two locations, I have found that the one in the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki is better. If you're looking for amazing sushi and service this is the place! They have a good happy hour from 4-6. You have to try the garlic teriyaki edamame if you're an edamame lover like me! The hamachi roll and vegan roll are my go to's, but you can't lose on any roll from here. The fish is always fresh. The lychee martini is incredible also. Try the honey toast if you're wanting dessert!
