    Montage of images of Chinatown at night
    Ed U.

    Honolulu's Chinatown doesn't really feel like San Francisco's or Manhattan's. I mean it does in the daytime when it's filled with local workaday shoppers when all the shops are open...the herbalists, the antique dealers, the lei makers, and of course, the purveyors in the overcrowded markets like Kekaulike Market and the Maunakea Marketplace with loads of seafood and exotic produce on sale. All that chaos is predictably interesting and frustrating. Regardless, Jamie W. and I found Chinatown a lot more intriguing after dark because there are stylishly eclectic restaurants open like The Pig & The Lady (review: https://yelp.to/u36lcwx4M6) and hip watering holes like Bar 35 (review: https://yelp.to/XuOm0N0jcG). Most of the shops were closed with the exception of select art galleries holding special exhibits. There's apparently a Chinatown art walk held on monthly First Fridays. We missed those festivities, but we saw the neon lights of the Hawai'i Theatre come to life at night (photo: https://yelp.to/l2kEdjI2AB). Some of the divier bars in town are right across the street from the theatre. There's also quite a nomadic homeless population, so be mindful where you walk beyond the more traveled streets. Yep, Chinatown definitely has a split personality. RELATED - Exploring Hawaii? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3Kz5ksc

    2.5 stars, rounded up to 3 stars. Quality/Quantity - Wow, it has been a LONG time since we visited Chinatown in Honolulu. And after today's visit, I know why... Many restaurants and food choices, including convenience and grocery stores. See pictures. But it does not seem tourist friendly?Are we leaving $$ on the table? It was all locals as far as my eye could see. Not necessarily a bad thing. Or am I here on an off day? Also available - Traditional Chinese restaurants, herbal shops, temples, markets, and bakeries, etc. Atmosphere - Cool decor throughout the city. Sadly, an increase in homelessness... Approximately 36 acres. Service - Just okay. Price - Inexpensive. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since the 1900s!

    A foray into Chinatown this past week. Yelp posted that it would be there and advertised the events and activities on 2/3/24! It did not disappoint. We walked from the Pacific Guardian Center building into Chinatown. It's a good walk and gave me time to check out the essence of Chinatown. A good amount of mom and pop stores and eateries. I took pictures of places I recalled visiting when I was a little kid. My popo (grandmother) would hold onto my hand and visit all the butchers and grocery stores for her daily needs. Great memories of Chinatown back then. Fast forward and there is a large amount of homeless in the area. The mayor is trying to clean things up in Chinatown and spruce up the area. There's a lot of tourists and stores geared toward tourists with plastic and stuffed charms and dragons and New Year items. The festival was mostly food trucks and vendors. Entertainment was dragon dances and martial art demonstrations. The parade was nice and had a hometown feel. The Sing Cheong Yuan bakery is busy as ever. Nam Fong's and Golden Palace are no more. I sometimes miss the old Chinatown. I tasted jai ( monk's food) and Sage ice cream at the festival. We even picked up Vietnamese spring rolls and crispy won tun like potstickers. At the bakery, we picked up a variety of dim sum and new years gau (sticky sweet Mochi). All in all a great time into the past and present in Chinatown.

    Went to Chinatown today figure everyone would be at the beach or at the mall and because meter parking is free today and I was right! Lots of parking not as crowded in the shopping mall and areas! Also decided to check them out because the dillingham Chinatown market price has gone up so high it is just like going to a regular supermarket. Prices are up but not as high as the dillingham Chinatown market. The area has been cleaned up Thank too the city effort in trying to improve Chinatown. They carry more fresh seafood than the dillingham Chinatown market and was able to purchase some fresh Dungeness crab at a good price.

    Chinatowns in any US city used to be a bustling beehive of activities. No matter what day or holiday, you could always count on finding a chinatown open doing business. With the event of CoVid, many businesses struggled and some closed. Honolulu's chinatown holds the same footprint it did many many years ago but there has been huge changes. Stores in this area now typically are starting to close around 2:30 to 3:00 pm with the entire streets a ghost town by 6:00 pm. You can still get the best chinese dry goods, fresh foods, vegetables, meats and seafood for low prices in any of the markets or stalls. Make a day of it and have breakfast or lunch at one of the many ethnic eateries in the area.

    Iconic Chinatown in Oahu! My first visit after arrival from Texas! We parked at the cultural plaza where the parking garage is covered and felt safe. The fees were cheaper than most. So many restaurants and shops. Walk around and enjoy the culture. You'll find everything here, and you can bargain with them. Can't wait to come back and checkout other store I didn't visit.

    We took Da Bus here. Didn't get here in 2022 so we made it a point in 2023. Really kinda beat up looking. There were some cool courtyards with multi levels shops and eats. A bunch of homeless and gruff types everywhere there but no troublemakers during our visit. We walked around for an hour and ate dim sum at Ginger & Garlic for an hour. Worth a visit. Some good values to be found here. It wasn't busy at all in March of 2023 during our vacation.

    Nov 2022- Honolulu's Chinatown is nothing compared to the Chinatowns in San Francisco or NYC. However it's still a cool place to check out because it does have unique eateries, coffee shops and it's where you can find speciality items. Parking is available on the street for metered parking or at any of the public parking garages. I recommend Chinatown Municipal parking across of Walmart on Bethel Street. It has very cheap rates. The public bus also runs frequently through the area and has several bus stops. Keep in mind the overall area can be a little sketchy since there are quite a few homeless in the area and sometimes smelly trash is just left on the street and sidewalks.

    lots of fruit and veggie market, lots of small shops, but mostly look like 3rd world and very disorganized and chaos. As a Chinese, i felt like i walked into old 80's China. That's bad. I don't want to go back to 40 years ago..

    For my 900th Yelp review, I have selected a business that is meaningful to me: Chinatown. I was born and raised in Honolulu's Chinatown and lived there until I graduated from high school. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. My parents immigrated to Hawaii from Hong Kong and settled in Chinatown. As far as I can remember, I would follow my father and paternal grandmother all around Chinatown while they shopped for groceries, which was pretty much daily. You see, this must be a Chinese thing. My father would shop in Chinatown to see what was fresh or in season. He'd purchase just enough for the day and would shop again the very next day. I vividly remember our household's shopping patterns. Back in the 70's, I recall so many Chinese owned businesses all over Chinatown. Now gone are the iconic Chinatown landmarks of Wo Fat Restaurant, Tin Tin Restaurant, the red-light district of strip bars, adult stores, tattoo parlors and game arcades. I attended public school and recall those days where it was okay and safe for a young boy to walk into such establishments to sell candy for school fundraisers. I ended up selling all my candies and would return home to get my sister's candy and helped her sell all her inventory, too. Also gone are the mom and pop stores that sold assorted snacks, drinks, boiled and roasted peanuts. I recall Chinatown heavily populated with many Cantonese restaurants, Asian bakeries, and noodle shops. There were also businesses selling Chinese porcelain, martial arts supply and Chinese books, magazines, and newspapers. These businesses are now gone. In today's Chinatown, you will still find merchants selling fresh produce, meats, seafood, dried/canned goods, and household supplies. Still standing is the iconic Oahu Market with its red sign on the roof. You also have many who continue trekking to Chinatown for fresh leis and flowers for better pricing, quality, and selection. Toss in local crafts and arts, you now have diverse foot traffic to patronize this unique and special neighborhood that compliments well with Hawaii's multicultural society. With diversity, you now have many ethnic foods and contemporary restaurants that attract foot traffic to Chinatown. For all of you foodies out there, you now can select from Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, contemporary fusion, and vegan cuisine. Lee's Bakery & Kitchen is still continuing many household traditions with their freshly baked pumpkin and custard pies during Thanksgiving. On the downside, Chinatown has been targeted with the homeless and the intellectually disabled which are some factors that keeps people away. Although this problem still exists, there is a HPD substation located on the corner of Maunakea and N Hotel St.. To a certain degree, HPD's presence has helped the local merchants in Chinatown. Multiple municipal parking lots were created nearby to accommodate foot traffic that is generated from special occasions such as Chinese New Year's events. Chinatown is special to me and my immediate family as that was our home for many years where we accumulated many fond memories. I still continue to, and will periodically visit Chinatown to support the merchants. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: 1) As of 4/11/2020, 11 of my 17 ROTD's (65%) came from Chinatown businesses. 2) As of 11/7/2018, 10 of my 15 ROTD's (67%) came from Chinatown businesses.

    Unbelievable! Seeing two out of three lanes closed in Chinatown on King Street! Is this a poor planning or what?

    10-24-2020 Guess in the past I've been gullible, but when it comes to a favorite food establishment I have to see it with my own eyes. It's big time sad but true. Char Hung Sut is locked up and looks solidly closed. Wish it wasn't true. All my life I have memories of that white box filled with steamed char siu bao, pork hash, half moon, pepeiau, yellow sponge cake, taro cake, layered rice cake with the brown top and regular white rice cake. Our favorites ma tai siu(How do you spell it?) Flaky crust similar to a manju but filled with the yummiest chopped fine filling. Oh my, just imagining it, I could eat two now, so good! with a cup of hot jasmine tea to wash it down. Our order also had to have gon lo mein or chow fun with that mixture of shoyu mustard concoction drizzled over the noodles before you took a bite. Ahhh nostalgia.

    Eric L.

    Poorly maintained, even by "chinatown" standards. Nothing really here. Most things close at 5:pm. There was literally human excrement in the parking garage we were at.

    Get ready, year of the boar!

    Being a big fan of waterfalls and having seen many in upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire,…read moreWashington State, and Oregon, I wanted to check out some of Hawaii's famous cascades during my stay there. I set out first to Kapena Falls, a little known waterfall located only a 15-minute drive from where I was staying in Honolulu. The most difficult thing about the short hike to Kapena Falls was finding the trailhead. The directions given to me by Apple Maps brought me to Pali Highway, and after just a short distance from where I entered the roadway, I passed it, not catching any signs or markers noting the trail. I made a u-turn to go back to where the map said it was, and luckily, on the other side of the road, there was a turnoff on the highway that I exited onto. I got out of my car, walked over to the guardrail to see if I could see anything below, but nothing. Finally, and I can't recall exactly how I figured this out, but I came upon a website that pointed me to Nuuanu Cemetery, down the hill from Pali Highway. I found the cemetery, but I still had some figuring out to do once I got there in order to find the trailhead for the falls. Eventually, I ended up driving through to the back of the cemetery, where there was a small parking lot with a garage at the end of it. Some hikers in another car pointed me to an unmarked trail towards the left of the garage where I finally reached the beginning of my hike. The hike to the falls was short, only about a half of a mile, and very easy. The trail was beautiful, with lush tropical plants everywhere, and the calming sound of running water from the creek beyond. The atmosphere was much more comfortable in the shade of the trees than my previous hike, and I was the only one around. The falls were unimpressive, but still the experience was worth it. Moments of zen, for sure! In all, I spent about 20 minutes exploring this one, and it was a nice preview for the other waterfall hikes on my list.

    Pretty neat place but also a little sketchy…read more There is a no loitering sign above the tunnel - I did hear there was people who used to hang out in the tunnel and smoke in there (so luckily i was the only one there!) Its very easy to find with google maps/directions. You just park in the residential area and just walk right up. We didnt stay no more than 15 minutes here. Its not that big of a tunnel and there isnt much to see. Alot of the rainbow has been repainted white (probably from the graffiti)

    "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." --Maya Angelou…read more I saw this Mililani Rainbow Tunnel on Instagram and HAD TO see it for myself and get a few photos! The location is kind of vague. I drove around the perimeter of Mililani High School, but didn't see anything that resembled an entrance. Luckily, there were a couple of early morning joggers coming my way. I rolled down the window of my car and asked a woman if she knew where The Rainbow Tunnel was... Nope. She turned around and asked the guy behind her if he knew... Yes! He pointed behind me and said that I had to cross Kam Highway. Hmmm... I'm a townie. I have no idea about the layout of Mililani. It's confusing as heck! Luckily, there was an address attached to the Instagram page! It was quite accurate, so, I added it to this Yelp page. I parked on Hakupokano Loop when I could see the entrance to the Rainbow Tunnel. The other end of the tunnel is close to the Mililani High School football field on Kipapa Drive. However, there's no parking there and the entrance isn't visible from the street. Go to the Hakupokano side! This is a really cool landmark! No wonder it's an Instagram sensation! I didn't count how many photos there are of The Mililani Rainbow Tunnel... there are over 300 photos for sure. Note: There is also a Rainbow Tunnel in Canada, so make sure that you specify "Mililani Rainbow Tunnel" if you're searching online. Good luck, be happy, and enjoy!
