Easily accessible by bus from Waikiki. All the market staff were friendly! Even with language barriers, they were really helpful at answering questions. I got lucky and visited while the streets were not too busy so it was nice to walk around and pop in from shop to shop on a sunny Sunday.

One of my fondest childhood memories is going to Tamashiro Market with my dad…read more When we lived in Kalihi, this was our usual spot. And even after we moved, we would still drive out just to come here for the seafood. That's how special it was to us. The reason why he chose Tamashiro over other grocery stores was simple--it was quality and because of my Nanay (grandma). His mom purchased from here and made so many delicious dishes. He knew what to look for, and he trusted this place. For him, it wasn't just about buying food... it was about getting the best for his family. My dad isn't the type to say "I love you." He shows it. One of the biggest ways he showed love was through his cooking. Even after a long day on his feet cooking for others, he would come home and cook for us. That was his way of taking care of us. I loved coming here with him. It was a five-senses overload--the smell of fresh seafood, the sound of people talking story, the colors of fish on display. Back then when you were allowed to sample a grape or poke to make sure it was good before buying. But more than that, it was time with him. I still remember the excitement I felt when I saw the pink building with the huge crab. I thought back then was to look at everything but now I understand that it meant something more..... something special--time with my dad. It's with a sad heart that Tamishiro Market is now closed. Thank you, Tamashiro, for providing quality food and memories for so many years. You were more than a market--you were part of my childhood

Goodbye to another Hawaii landmark! Tamashiro Market is closing its doors on April 30, 2026…read more FPO and I went the Sunday before for one last tour of the legendary fish market. It looked the same as it did the first time I went with my grandfather. I picked up a couple pounds of dry aku for my favorite sister and some tee shirts as memorabilia. It was pretty busy and I expect that will continue until They close. Still, the people were nice and very helpful. I'm really going to miss it!

Theres also a fish and meat market area in the back as well as ready made Filipino food/snacks. It gets crowded on weekend mornings but so worth it in my opinion!

I want to give it more stars but I have my reasons. I don't want to put down any business…read moreespecially small businesses in there. There are a ton and they are all fun. It's just extremely congested and sometimes too busy inside. Cleanliness can be an issue for some but for the most part I'm buying vegetables and fruit and that's enough for me. I used to take my knives to be sharpened in this area but this review is just for the vendors I shopped at. I needed papaya, fresh vegetables and fruits. I saw many vendors that share the same items so sooner or later if you become a regular you will have your favorite vendor you will lean towards. They have vendors that sell already prepared mainly Filipino foods and desserts. They have vendors that sell you fresh fish and seafood as well as fresh meats. I always go to farmers market but I decided to start shopping here. It's convenient for what I was looking for. I see I can buy seasonings and noodles (dry packets) as well as many other things. I will return again when I'm running low on stuff. The prices aren't terrible but not that inexpensive either. You can find some bargain vegetables that aren't pretty but for $1 a piece it's good if you're using them up that day. I say try and go around and see what you can find. Plenty of convenient parking. Nearby outside there's Kamehameha bakery, sugoi'a and other eateries. Nearby is Costco and Costco gas and Home Depot so you can't go wrong.

I love getting fresh produce on the islands of Hawaii, and Chau's Fresh Fruit is just the place to…read moreget it if you want your smoothie made with authentic exotic fruits. They have all the fruits they use on display, as well as the sugarcane and juicer itself. They also sell various pre cut fruits and produce at the storefront. My boyfriend got the soursop smoothie and I got the sugarcane juice. The sugarcane was so authentic and cooled me down on such a warm humid day, I loved it! The soursop definitely did a number on my boyfriend's digestive system. Good amount of fiber in his drink, for sure! You can tell from the smoothie texture that the fruit is ripe and good quality.

You'll see a small crowd gathered around the stall in no orderly fashion. You can also get your exotic fruit fix, depending on the season; currently dragon eyes and mango to name a couple. When I'm not getting my coffee, this is where I come to get fresh smoothies. On this visit, I got the mango smoothie with boba. It was very good, but tasted a little water down probably from the many scoops of ice. Service is typical of the area.

Great local market in the heart of Chinatown…read more The fresh Hawaiian papayas and dragonfruit were so delicious. Perfect for breakfast on the hotel balcony. The papayas were around 2 for $3. Everything is weighed to determine the price. Bring cash and a reusable grocery bag. Enjoy!

During our weekly marketing jaunt into Chinatown, we went to the O'ahu Market to get some Chinese…read moreroasted meats since my husband had been asking me to make one of his favorite dishes... stir fried bitter melon with roast pork in black bean sauce. Upon approach to our fave Chinese roasters, I noticed ABC Market with its fresh locally (some imported) grown fruits and vegetables displays. ABC Market has been in O'ahu Market's stall #25 for some time now but it took me until today to stop, browse and make a purchase. As I browsed through the fruits and produce, I managed to purchase a couple of Hawaiian papayas, green onions and bitter melon. The papayas are still green but I don't usually buy ripe papayas because they ripen quite quickly so these will ripen over the next couple of days. But, the green onions aka scallions and bitter melon were fresh looking and priced competitively with the other nearby fruit and vegetable vendors. The cashier was soft spoken as she weighed our papayas and then the bitter melon before telling us how much to pay. Our total bill only came up $6.25. I don't think that this vendor takes credit or debit cards as most vendors in Chinatown are CASH ONLY. She packed our papayas, scallions and bitter melons in separate plastic bags which made it easier for us to put into our Yelp reusable tote bag. We'll be back either in a couple of days as I was eyeing the soursop and egg fruits but didn't get them today since we walked into town and didn't want to lug home too heavy bags.

When I want to make pho, hot pot or even oxtail soup, I need to do multiple stops at stores to get my ingredients and they're all a little on the pricier side. Island Green Mart has EVERYTHING I needed PLUS amazing prices. I went a little over board shopping today but thankfully they were things that can sit on a shelf. I want to add that I've gone to multiple Hmarts and Palama Markets searching for culantro and fish balls with roe on separate occasions, could never find. Island Green Mart had both! So stoked.

While the steamed ones are great too, there are still other contenders for that. The baked ones truly have no rival though! There other pastries are great too like the custard buns and the custard tarts, although I recently tried their layered rice cake and while huge, they were a but underwhelming. I think that's because I remember the ones my dad used to bring home that had the super thin layers that you could peel off layer by layer and enjoy them for what seemed to be an eternity.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this place…read more My go to's are the baked manapua, the huge pork hash, shrimp dumpling and rice cake. I tried the butter mochi this past visit and it was good. It always amazes me the ladies who take your order and don't write it down and somehow get it right. I can see one or two things but my wife likes to order 5-6 things. I've been lucky to go when no one was in line (a rainy day) and have waited in line for over 30 minutes. This past visit was only about 20 minutes. I guess it's a roll of the dice. After Char Hung Sut closed many years back this has been my go to for Manapua.

I saw that the small bitter melons were $5.99 per pound - what an awesome price! The vendor at the next stall was selling small bitter melon at $7.99 per pound... whoa! Of course I had to get a bag! I wandered around and saw other merchandise such as canned and bottled ingredients. That's very convenient for home cooking! I'll be back - especially since service was very efficient! At first, there was only one cashier. When the gal bagging vegetables saw the line of customers, she came to the second cash register and rang me up... thank you!
