Are these details incorrect?

1. Buzz’s Original Steak House, ’Aiea

A longtime local favorite, Buzz’s is known for its generous salad bar, grilled steaks, and fresh seafood. The original “Original” is in Kailua.
2. Champa Thai

Award-winning Thai spot, with a dozen types of curry and an expansive vegetarian menu.
3. Molly’s Smokehouse

This rare source of Texas-style barbecue is widely patronized by southerners from nearby military bases.
4. Shiro’s Saimin Haven & Family Restaurant

This shrine to Japanese-style noodle soup and immense local plate lunches has to be seen to be believed. Founder and patriarch Shiro Matsuo has lined the walls with scribbled notes expressing his philosophy of life.
5. Eastern Garden

A specialist in Asian seafood dishes, including deep-fried oysters and clams in egg custard. Great dim sum selection too.
6. Boston’s North End Pizza Bakery

The pies are Boston-style – thick edge, thin center, cheesy, saucy – and the attitude is East Coast too. That means “eat it and beat it.”
7. Azul

This fine dining restaurant at the JW Marriott ’Ihilani Resort & Spa is a lovely, shady and cool space, opening onto a tropical lagoon. The Mediterranean menu manages to be both refined and rustic.
8. Roy’s Ko Olina

Award-winning chef and restaurateur Roy Yamaguchi perfects his Hawai’i fusion cuisine, while bringing the excitement of the open-plan kitchen to the islands.
9. Nanakuli Chop Suey

Island-style Chinese food – rich soups, fried noodles, deep fried won ton, and, of course, chop suey.
10. Wai’anae Chop Suey

More Chinese cuisine in typical island style – from egg flower soup, and lemon chicken to sweet & sour spare ribs, and deep-fried whole fish.
