You will find that most restaurants in Waikiki are expensive.  That being the case, we never ate there.  One place within walking distance, depending on where you are, is Sam Choy's on Kapahulu.  This is about 3/4 miles off Kalakaua Ave.  Serves Hawaiian style food.  It's very popular with the locals, so you must make reservations.

Also on Kapahulu is the Kapahulu Chop Suey.  Huge portions, very inexpensive (even by mainland standards) and packed with locals.  There was a Hawaiian restaurant right next door that could have been Sam Choy's, I didn't catch the name but it was recommended to us also.  The Chop Suey place will be a long walk from Kalakaua, but I think it is worth it.

Karen, try the Tahitian Lanai (very popular with the locals) and within walking distance of Waikiki. Actually around the corner from the Hilton Hawaiian Village
