First off, the woman who took my order and cut my meats appeared to be the same one who left a very good impression on me years before. Everything went smoothly. I ordered all my favorites - a half pound each of char siu and roast pork, and a half roast duck. I showed her a photo I took of her cutting and asked for permission to post it on Yelp, and she said it would be okay. In the past, I would hand over my physical card and worry it would come back greasy. I was pleased that I could use Google Pay. The total cost was in line with what I had anticipated, reasonable. I hurried home since I hadn't eaten yet this morning. I had some of everything along with some hot rice I prepared at home. I started with the duck, which I ate as is, without using the included sauce. It tasted as good as I had hoped. I also enjoyed the char siu and roast pork. They were just as I like them. There is nothing like getting good, freshly roasted meats from Chinatown. I will be back.

MUST TRY! We got the…read moreroast pork and char siu. They were priced at $18 per pound. The roast pork was absolutely amazing. Crispy and seasoned to perfection. Like seriously, probably the best pork I've ever had. I didn't see any other options for sides though, so we legit just got meat. It would have been the best meal ever if we had rice and vinegar to dip it in. Still though the roast pork was a 10/10. Char siu was good too but the roast pork outshone it for sure. The owner was also very kind and gave us samples. The shop can be easily missed since there are other meat shops on the street. but this place can be found by entering into the building. It was a quick and easy pick up.

The lady / owner is very friendly, even when I first went there, and the gentleman who's the cook, maybe spouse or brother, is as well, but more focused on the meat.

It's a casual meat market more focused on cooked meats with a very casual ambiance. I will be back.

They are easily the best fresh pork Lao sausages in town. Filled with lemongrass, Thai chili, makrut lime leaf, black pepper, and stuffed in pork casing. So f good. I always buy at least two bags, and it seems like everyone else does too. Cash and credit. If you go during peak hours, be ready to be elbowed out of the way by mamas wanting fresh pork.

After several disappointed visits to my go-to butcher, I was looking for decent pork belly. I've…read morelearned not to trust my go-to butcher anymore as I was given off cut pieces and only to be ridiculed by my colleagues of getting odds and ends. My immediate circle has been having cravings and this includes shoyu pork belly. With a great base of aged shoyu, simmering slabs of pork belly will yield a yummy lunch, linner or dinner. Located in Maunakea Marketplace with neighbors of Papa's Cafe and Mei Mei Chinese BBQ, BM Meat Market (BMM) is a stall that specializes in fresh pork. They had a large variety of pork cuts, spare ribs, pork bones, pig's feet and congealed pork's blood. This past weekend I was on my regular shopping rounds in Chinatown and was purchasing some cooked meats from Mei Mei Chinese BBQ, where I patronize often. Many times I see many people crowding around BMM purchasing meats. But on this morning, it was empty so I decided to check out their offerings. I only saw one slab of pork belly that had nice marbling. I asked for the price, which came in at under $5 per pound. I asked the male staff if he had any more and walks back to his refrigerator to bring out a large slab of pork belly. ***happy dance*** I asked for a total of 6 slabs of pork belly, in which I noticed an end cut with lean meat that is not ideal for Chinese shoyu pork. I asked him to replace that with another center slice, where he didn't hesitate to my request. My total bill came in just over $25, which is much less than what my colleague paid at Safeway last week where that pork belly had excess fat. The meats I got at BMM had more in volume, better quality of marbling and eating meat versus fat. This clearly was a WIN WIN WIN in my books. BMM accepts cash and EBT cards. English friendly and with respect to COVID-19, they have signs posted and stickers on the floor to remind patrons of social distancing. Overall, a very pleasant shopping experience where I will be back for more for my pork needs. NOTE: I didn't see any pig liver, pig kidney nor pig head on display. Perhaps they have it stored in the back refrigerator. Try asking the staff if you don't see what you're looking for.

It's always good to try different places that makes Chinese BBQ meats.....sure I have my goto joints, but sometimes it's good to break protocol & try a new business. Chun's Meat Market is located in the heart of Chinatown inside of Oahu Market, and it appears they specialize in Chinese BBQ meats like - Char Siu, Roast Pork, Roast Duck, Shoyu Chicken, Turkey Tail, & Five Spice Honey Combo Tripe. Service here was pretty fast & friendly, and basically this shop is a grab & go kinda joint. The day I came here I picked up half a Roast Duck, as well as a pound of Char Siu for my dad. What can I say about the grub? I did not partake in the Char Siu so I cannot say how it tasted, but as for the Roast Duck the marinade tasted on the saltier side. Although the price they charged for their Roast Duck was very competitive, the Roast Duck was not as meaty as the Roast Duck I would buy from other places I normally patronize. Overall, a pretty good Meat Market with great service.

I didn't feel like a nuisance. She was also helpful when asked questions. Upon her recommendation, I chose to order the cut and size of short ribs that restaurants prefer. I picked up my order a couple of days later at their warehouse. The location of the facility is in a sketchy part of downtown.

The game hasn't even started.... ME: What? HIM: You asked "Who won?" Sheesh, the misinterpretation caused me to wonder about my poor Chinese language skills...did I mispronounce or was my husband having a case of "stink ear"? I choose the latter reason. Anyway, Hoong Wun Butcher Shop has been a longtime O'ahu Market tenant. They feature island-raised pig, er, pork which is "sweeter" than Mainland raised pigs. As one would expect, this Chinese butchery will sell you just about every part of the pig as we Chinese will utilize "every part of the pig, except its squeal" in our cooking. I like marketing here and have done so for years because the pork is fresh, clean and well-trimmed. The prices are relatively inexpensive as we recently paid $2.50 for slightly more than a pound of ground pork whereas at local supermarkets, the same weight could cost $3.99/lb. Sure, this butcher is located in Chinatown and O'ahu Market looks run down but they do take the utmost care with food handling safety. They speak English and are quite friendly. Parking in Chinatown is always crazy but you have your choices at nearby municipal parking lots, metered or free street parking or private parking lots. Oh, while you're at O'ahu Market, go ahead to check out the other vendors such as Hometown Noodle Factory (they no longer sell noodles but make really good silken tofu), Troy Enterprise (fresh fish & seafood) and fresh produce vendor all within air-conditioned comfort.

Most other butchers in Chinatown do not have a sink, at least not one that I can see. They sell fresh island pork, not like the supermarkets with their mainland pork or pork injected with fluids, supposedly to make them juicy. They sell ground pork here but those have high fat content and mostly from odds & ends, here & there and from unsold day-old pieces. Select your own cut based on your preference for lean or fatty, have them wash the pork before grinding. You will pay more but like my sons said "good is not cheap and cheap is not good". Same thing when you buy the ribs, have them wash the bigger pieces before cutting into smaller pieces.
