Ran’s place is in a great location. It is a 15 min short walk to Waikiki. Lots of good food around. Parking can be difficult. Ala Moana is free street parking but hard to find after 3pm. Kapiolani blvd on the other side of the park across the street is a short walk. Be aware of no parking time frames. Meters are free on Sundays and after 10, but usually full by 8pm.
