    There was a nice variety of Asian foods. I got a one choice combo at one of the Pinoy vendors that hit the spot. ~$5 to be nice and full! I definitely want to go back at a better time. I had gone right before closing. There’s also little shops for household items.

    There is a lot of different stores that will generally have something for everyone. The Proprietors of these Stores and Restaurants are Very Kind And Helpful.

    I had a good experience visiting the market. Unfortunately there are some empty spaces around, which is really shamed. I loved eating at the market because there were different options from Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipino food. Fruits are very delicious and cheaper than the rest of the places around the island

    This place is great!! The thai food, Vietnamese food, dim sum, and especially all the fresh produce, meat, and fish selections.

    If you are in Honolulu I would highly suggest you stop by this market. A lot of the items that you find in Waikiki will be here for a much better price. The people here are very friendly and have a ton of advice of places to visit. If you love interacting with locals, stop by.

    Fruits and vegetables locally sourced. Great prices and you wouldn't believe the sizes and quality of the items. You can't go wrong.

    This place was not what expected at all. It advertises fresh fruits which were no where to be found and the little I found did not look appetizing at all. The dining are seems to be way below average cleanliness standards… Other stores seemed ok although I did not enter them.

    A mini food court of authentic Filipino, Chinese, Korean, n Vietnamese foods. Outside a array of kiosk shops selling a variety of clothes, accessories along with souvenirs of the Chinese cultures. Outside and indoor seating. Restroom is a hassle to get the key for and is on the second floor. Handicap accessible but a tight squeeze at some points. Except a lot of people all the time since it's a regular gathering place for the local asian community. You also can find a lot of exotic culturally influenced produce. Enjoy ur visit. Ps. Parking can be a challenge. I suggest getting there via the bus or taxi. Biki bikes are also a good solution

    In the heart of Chinatown, this place has great shopping and a fabulous fresh food marketplace. The boba and smoothie places are great, and there is a place with tables to sit and enjoy the people watching. Whenever we are on Oahu, we always make sure we stop by. There is no parking on site, but there are several parking lots nearby that have online payment services. That way you can enjoy all of Chinatown, as well.

    Was on a two week vacation in Hawaii and this place was FOR SURE the highlight of my trip. There’s a dim sum stand that probably has some of the best dim sum I’ve ever had in my life and some BOMB calamansi green tea from Mickey’s The zhongzi and siu mai really be hitting different here 🥵🙌 Ill be dreaming about this food for the next few years until I can return ☹️ Also for all the haters in the reviews below saying this place is messy, this isn’t a four seasons hotel why does it matter

    Been here many times. I usually get the Lemon Grass Chicken Bahn Mi from one stall and the Roast Duck from the stall across from it. Wife didn't care for the long grain rice that came with the duck which was included in the $12 plate. She said the duck is perfectly seasoned but wishes she got more meat. I should just get her half a duck next time. The bahn mi I ordered has tons of flavor and was $9. Next time we really need to try the dim sum next to those two stalls. Market has so much potential but seems like there has been some gradual hollowing out every time I visit. I also enjoy shopping for the tropical fruits in this and surrounding markets. Got some delicious guavas today.

    Mauna Kea Marketplace do freaking dirty trash can full rubbish all over the place the place need painting you know beautification project the city got to start getting on it the painting stores back if not let the artist paint colors on it Like A Rainbow City each each Merchant there that's selling products out there should be moved off the sidewalk to the public get more space to walk the sidewalk are for the disabled and seniors and the public, not for vendors.

    I'm so happy my boyfriend and I went here! I got a little feel for his culture and he was reminded of home. Very intimate community

    I come here for bubble tea and Filipino foods. I miss Drips Burgers. They had the best burgers on the island! Updated 03.11.2023 Whelp management decided to turn off the AC again. Went to visit maguro Brothers and no lines 130pm today. My bff said they became junk or quality went down compared to before. Took pictures of menu items and will update review again after tasting.

    What impresses me most is the free worship of Budda Guanying inside Maunakea Marketplace. Scents are freely provided with an available lighter, which well displays the philanthropism of Buddhism.

    I heard this place had good food. The rice noodles were good. I wish I would have ordered walnut shrimp. The cleanliness was a little questionable.

    I’m not sure what we expected when we came here, however, to say it did not meet expectations would be an understatement. We walked around to see if there was anything interesting, but sadly it didn’t appear there was anything we wanted to get. My father-in-law wanted to buy a Hawaiian shirt, but I’m not sure how that conversation went considering he doesn’t speak English. We took some pictures, browsed a bit more and left after 15 minutes.

    Bun Bo Hue Was Good. It Does Have A Heavy Lemon Grass Taste. I Didn't Get To Try Anything Else Unfortunately I Was Kinda Full. They Have A Fair Price Menu And The Portions Were Massive. It Is Family Owned And Operated. Tony Was Our Server.. Thanks Yall

    It is a shadow of its former self. Fish market is gone, food court has only few active stall left. Several tropical fruit stands are only the high points

  • 4/5 Sysong V. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of tourist and locals go shop there. Mostly mom and pop stores. The shops have simliar foods and produces selections. Look at other shops before paying for your greens and vegetables.

    This is s the heart of Chinatown. A loud, crowded, bustling, (sometimes smelly) marketplace chock full of stalls selling, food and boba tea, trinkets and knock-off "designer" items. The marketplace itself has only one well-marked entryway, the other alleys leading into the center have less signage, but better deals (in my experience). The best way to to experience this labyrinth is to explore all the nooks and crannies without a specific goal in mind, rather an extra few dollars to blow on a strange and unusual find.

    For Foodie Fan's you don't want to miss this! All the very freshest vegetables ever here! Seafood and meats too. Such a hidden paradise..

  • 5/5 ada t. 2 years ago on Google
    Hats, chopsticks, tablecloths, plants, handbags, decorations, even food and all sorts of souvenirs can be found here. Furniture on the second level too. It's like treasure hunting. Nice little sweet place!
