This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about Likelike and wiki-wiki. latahz...
Yelp, wiki-wiki is really the correct phrase for very quick. ^

Using LikeLike for "quickie quickie" is a 'personal thing' hubby & I started years ago when visiting Honolulu every few months. We always headed to Like Like for a huge bowl of saimin & food at good prices vs. paying "fine dining" prices. We spent our fine dining $$ at the La Ronde, which I understand, is now named Top of Waikiki. It was a pleasant surprise when google revealed both were still in business. I haven't visited either on more recent trips.

FWIW, La Ronde was the world's 1st revolving restaurant (1961). The designer/builder opened another atop the Seattle Space Needle the following year. History must begin somewhere.
