| O'ahu is home to hundreds of ethnic restaurants — most heavily Asian, most of them small, inexpensive and family-run, and all with their regulars and passionate fans. We couldn't possibly visit them all in a year, much less include them all in this guide. So this is just a selection, focused on offering as wide a range of cuisines as possible. |

Just like in Rio, at Honolulu's only churrascaria (Brazilian-style spit-barbecue restaurant), diners flip a two-tone wood marker on the table — green means "I'm ready for my all-I-can-eat meat," red means "cry uncle!" There's no menu — you get salad bar, starch bar and meat for one price. The name means "it's all good," but some meat cuts — pork loin, chicken drumsticks with the meat balled on one end like a lollipop, top sirloin, lamb, chicken or pork sausage — can arrive dry. When the server slices pieces off his sizzling skewer, don't take the overcooked outer morsels. For hungry carnivores, this place is a satisfying deal. The place lost its liquor license earlier this year — so BYO.
