This was my first time at Village Market and I'll give it a 4/5! We got there around 5:30pm,…read moreshortly after it opened and there was still plenty of parking. Initially, our main goal was to get Taho from One Three HI, however they were not there so we didn't get to have any Taho. HOWEVER, we did one lap around and ate some other food: TAKO4U: It was the first time I had Tako4U and we had the Yakisoba and the Most Valuable Chicken (aka MVC, which was Karaage Chicken) with the Honey Mustard mayo. I didn't get to try the Yakisoba, but the Karaage Chicken was really yummy. The mayo and karaage flavor didn't over power one another too much, so it was a nice balance that also maintained the crunchiness of the chicken. Additionally, I followed them on instagram and we got five free Takoyaki balls with the Yakisoba! The Takoyaki was definitely a bit bland, but still delightful nevertheless. ISLAND MANAPUA FACTORY: This vendor was also a first time for me, and I would say it was okay! I'm a HUGE fan of bao buns AND char siu, so I was really looking forward to trying their Char Siu bao buns, but it was alright! The bao bun itself was really good--quite fluffy and the perfect texture, but the char siu slices were unfortunately a bit too thick and it was cold and hard to chew. Next time, I'll try the chicken and duck, but I do think that the char siu slices should be a bit thinner! I will say that if you are wanting to try different bao buns, you are able to mix and match if you want, which I didn't know until after I ordered! THE AGUA BABE: Also another first for me, and it definitely was my favorite vendor of the three we tried today! We had the Lava Cloud, Lilikoi Dream, and Ube Paradise and ALL THREE were absolutely AMAZING! The drinks were light and such a perfect pair with any dinner/dish at the night market and their flavors were SO on point. The Lava Cloud was very coconut heavy while the Ube Paradise was mostly horchata, but with the perfect amount of Ube Poi drizzle to add a fun twist. I WILL be coming back to try all the other different flavors for sure! The vibe of the entire night market was so precious! The live music was awesome and the singers were pretty interactive with the crowd, and the family friendly vibe was awesome (there were a ton of kids having fun today which was such a fun sight to see). Even though it was my first time at the Village Market, I WILL BE BACK and will definitely be trying all the other vendors! :)

Not the biggest nor the most popular but one of the best for foodies…read more Huh? One, the market schedule is consistent. Every Saturday 17:00-21:00. Pearlridge. Old Sears parking lot. Two, it's not overly crowded, you will always find a seat in the large, covered eating area to enjoy your finds. Booze and live music a plus if you're into that. Three, the vendor list is not booked solid with regulars (ie What the Truck where you will see the same vendors event after event). This means lots of new, first time vendors or those from other parts of the Island who can't get a spot at the sold out, established markets. A reliable IG post of the exact vendors who will be at the Market the morning of allows preplanning; who to visit, what to eat, even if it's worth your time. Additionally, the price to be a vendor must be low meaning generous portions and reasonable prices (if you attend a lot of these events around the Island, you'll quickly learn when the price of participation is high, food quantity drops and prices are several dollars higher). Add a great layout with plenty of space, a handful of family friendly vendors, and onsite local kine friendly security and it's a solid experience. So yeah, not the biggest, nor the most popular but one of the best for foodies.

We come for the Sunday Brunch Buffet but my office recently had our Christmas party here and the staff did a fabulous job, everything was awesome. I also here the Mongolian BBQ on Thursday night is pretty good, have not tried it yet but will. Recommend make a reservation for the Brunch Buffet (10-1pm) to ensure that you have a table when you arrive. They have lots of options but don't pass on the prime rib and crab legs, both delicious. They also have eggs to order and will make any omelette you can think of. Lots of desert options as well. The service is excellent, all the servers are helpful and attentive. You can tell they work hard and are focused on customer service, please tip them well. Great place, superb service and really good experience and we will certainly be back for the Sunday Brunch Buffet.

We all had a nice visit overall, however, when my son and his two friends entered they had a very bad experience and were treated horribly by Gia. My son and his 2 friends arrived before us. Gia opened the door and asked if they were over 18 to which they responded that yes, they are 18. Probably a policy and procedural question that is asked when people look younger. They then explained that the rest of our family, including two children, were on the way and would be joining us. Gia's responded with a very rude and dismissive, "I don't care." Extremely unprofessional and uncalled for, especially if she's the person right at the entrance when you enter this establishment. While they waited near the front for the rest of our family to arrive, she continued giving them dirty looks which made them feel very uncomfortable and unwelcomed. It was very disappointing to say the least, especially since we were there to celebrate a special occasion and first birthday with our family. There was absolutely no need for the attitude from Gia. Management should think about who they're putting at the front entrance and should really consider the employees who are professional, kind and respectful at the front instead of rude employees like Gia. Thankfully, the rest of our visit was okay, but the poor customer service my son and his friends experienced when we first arrived left a very negative impression.

Tis the season for graduation parties......falalalala...lalalala…read more..... I attended yet another graduation party this past weekend at this venue. The Hawaii Okinawan Center is located in Waipio Gentry and is easily found by either traveling on Kam Highway or the H-2 Freeway. However, I would probably recommend a route via Kam Hwy for convenience reasons. The party I attended was in the Legacy II ballroom, of which the entrance faces the parking lot. I later discovered that the Legacy Ballroom is actually 1 huge ballroom, and it was divided into 2 separate areas on this evening as another party was taking place in the other half. Incidentally, the side where the other party was taking place was larger and had a stage as well. Although the portion of the ballroom where our party was held was much smaller, I liked the high ceilings so there was the illusion that the room was slightly big and grand. I believe there were about 18 tables (seating for 10) set up for the party, but since this section was smaller, there wasn't much room to have more tables set up if the need arose. Food and drinks were provided by A Catering Experience, which (from what I was told later that evening) is the catering division if Zippy's. The food served to guests at the party included Chinese chicken salad, assorted fruits, rice, noodles, fried chicken, roast pork, mahimahi, and adobo (which most of us thought it was sweet and sour pork). Besides water, fruit punch (very watery!), coffee, and tea was also provided. Lastly, the banquet staff was very gracious, polite, and kind. I was very impressed with the attentiveness of the staff that night, and their quality service contributed to a wonderful evening spent with friends and family. PARKING: FREE parking available in the HI Okinawa Center lot. First come first serve. Bottom Line: Clean venue. FREE and ample parking.

In the lot and down the street is filled with food trucks and various vendors offering all types of foods from halo halo to a full plate lunch has my taste buds going into overdrive and didn't know where to begin. I did ended up starting with items from the Filipino Street Food tent as the event was just getting started so much so that some of the items weren't ready yet so it was the Hot Dog and Longanisa as I dove into my yummy meaty choices was hearty bite of deliciousness I moved out to the street and got the Halo Halo from the Halo Halo Place and got their "The Halo Halo" as it was voted the best Halo Halo topped with a scoop of ube ice cream is a light and refreshing treat and see why it's the favorite. To then Corn Onoz Hawaii with their Cheeto Z as it's coated with the vibrant and full of kick Flamin Hot Cheetos with Mahalo as their finishing sauce on top was too cute and creative :) along with entertainment it was indeed a festive event that I'm so glad to have experienced.
