M & N Filipino Restaurant

Operating in Honolulu since 1989, this modest hole-in-the-wall anchors its cooking in locally grown produce alongside ingredients imported from the Philippines. Owner Lisa oversees a wide everyday lineup, with diners pointing to dishes that avoid being overly oily, including sari-sari cooked dinengdeng-style without excess broth. Decades in, it remains a friendly, budget-conscious stop for straightforward neighborhood comfort food.
