Yesterday, we picked up a roasted 40 lb suckling pig from Chun's. It was our first time and everything was great. From ordering over the phone, to picking up at 3:50 Friday afternoon (they close at 4), to the quality and flavor of the meal! I checked temp and it was only 110 when i got it home. And even though it was fully cooked, guidelines say it should be a minimum of 140 degrees when served, so I put it in a 250 degree oven to rewarm and didn't serve till it got up to almost 160 degrees. Only took 30 or 45 minutes. Everyone enjoyed watching me carve it up (which i only knew how to do from watching you tube videos) the meat was delicious, tender and moist, with crisp skin, in spite of the reheating process. All in all it was a great experience! We will definitely do this again. read more

Chun's Meat Market - Getting ready to carve - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Service was good, lady who took our order was friendly and worked quickly. Ordered roast pork, charsiu, and turkey tail. Turkey tail was pretty good and she chopped it for us. Charsiu wasnt the best. Didnt have a lot of flavor and the texture was different than most I've had. We ended up using it for fried rice so it worked out in that. Roast pork - was decent but super fatty. More fat than other places. read more

Located on 145 North King Street they have garage parking you enter on Nimitz Hwy before River street if you want to park in the garage if not I had my wife turn up River street and take a right on to North Nimitz and less than 20 yards on the right side there was Chun's Meat Market and I got out and my wife went around as I ordered the char Sui. Today her price was $13.99 per pound and Fong which is located the stall next door was $17.99. The Char Sui pork was moist and tender and flavorful, she mentioned if you like after warming it up in the microwave you can drizzle some honey and it is also delicious. She also put on some crispy fried pig skin so I asked her about it and she recommended it so I bought some of that also. The crispy pig skin was still nice and crispy and light and crunchy, which was very good. The lady at the counter must be the owner was very nice and friendly and they also have a fresh seafood market also which sells a lot of different seafoods from fresh lobster, crab, Geoduck, Cheery Stone Clams, and Manila Clams. read more

When shopping for my part time job I'm often tasked on getting things that sends me on somewhat of a goose hunt that is challenging and stressful. The employee meal was going to be a large pot of rice soup (jook) and the chef wanted all sorts of pork items, including innards. There are some stalls that carry innards but limited variety as I noticed one by one selection was minimal. After going to my go to stall, I was short a few items so I made my way over to Chun's Meat Market (CMM), which is located Makai side of N King Street, not too far from the corner of Kekaulike Street, with the iconic Oahu Market sign above. CMM has been in business for several decades, dating back to the late 80's. They have a variety of fresh meats and seafoods, along with roasted meats. Upon arrival I checked out their display case and immediately found the innards I was looking for. I asked for about a pound of small intestines and fun cheung (don't know what it's called in English but in the photo attached). Service was friendly and efficient. It's quite spacious, bright and clean. However, there was some questionable foot traffic that can make people feel uncomfortable but hold onto your personal belongings. Overall, above average experiences at CMM where I see myself coming back again. Large selection of offerings and perhaps I'll look into their seafood and perhaps their roasted meats. 2025 #40 read more

Chun's Meat Market - FUNN CHEUNG (pig's innards) - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First time buying from Chuns. I liked that they have a menu posted right on the plexiglass. Since Nam Fong closed, I've been trying to find good duck wings. I was excited to see them at Chuns! However I would not buy them again because they were salty and tasted like they were just boiled - didn't care for the texture. Also ordered half pound of roast duck. They had a huge slab, a smaller slab, and a tiny end piece. I was disappointed that she gave me the end piece because it was very fatty. But it was not salty so I might try them again. Service was okay - lady was passively kind, she upsold me, which was fine, but then grumbled to her daughter as I walked away. read more

I got the turkey tails and roast pork. It was tasty and fresh. Service was great. Highly recommend.

An unassuming stand in Chinatown on S King with amazing roasted meats! The service was so friendly and welcoming and smells mouthwatering. I tried the roasted pork and duck...the crispy roasted pork almost didn't make it home and I couldn't help myself. So crispy and moist. I did refrain myself from temptation with the duck but it was also delicious! Will definitely come back ao! read more

[Food] - Roasted Pork ($13.99/lb): Never a miss, always a hit for me! Pork is juicy! A great balance of lean and fatty pieces with an addictive crispy skin. I love grabbing a small box and taking it to a nearby Pho restaurant to indulge in noodles and roasted pork! Or sometimes I'll even come by for a box to take with me to the beach as a snack or even as another dish for dinner! [Service] - Fast, friendly, helpful - The nice lady gave us a few extra yummy pork skins to add to our box, thank you! (: [Overall] - I always come back here when I'm in the area! Super delicious and nostalgic for me since I've been here multiple times with my family as a child during the holidays. - I hope they stay there forever as it's one of the best not just on the island but even better than most places in Bay Area, CA! - I've also tried the Char Siu and Roasted Duck, which both were just as delicious, just not as amazing as the Roast Pork read more

I think it's good to know of spots that will be open everyday, including all holidays, when you're in need of something good to eat. read more

......Chinatown Honolulu....rich with variety and tradition...located in the heart of Chinatown and nestled in the old Oahu market....Chun's has deep roots here. Early Sunday morning, when all the flavors and products are fresh, is when I enjoy shopping at this venue. Chun's has raw meat as well as fully cooked products for sale. I ordered a shoyu chicken, one that was hanging in the glass showcase, for our party. The server asked me if I wanted the whole cooked chicken cut into pieces and I replied yes please. She chopped the chicken into nice portions and arranged them into the box. I also ordered a 1/2 pound of char siu and a 1/2 pound of roasted pork. As I bite into the piece of shoyu chicken, there is a complex layer of flavor to the meat. Nestled in there are the star anise taste, a Chinese spice flavor and of course shoyu. You get the feeling that this recipe has been passed down through the generations! The char siu is rich in flavor and texture. The sweet meaty piece has that distinctive char on the outer edge. The leftovers will accompany any Saimin dish or fried rice serving. The roasted pork is meaty as well...meaning more meat than fat. A beautiful crusty crunch blended with a satisfying moist bite. Parking in this area is a challenge in itself. There are no tables or chairs to sit on. read more

If you're looking for the most affordable Chinese roast meats, as well as raw meats, and do not care at all about quality, preparation, and freshness, then by all means, this is the place for you! But if you want roast meat that is prepared well, tasty, clean, and fresh, and is willing to spend just a couple of dollars more per pound, then avoid this place! Chun's Meat Market has been a staple in Chinatown for a long time. It's located next to Oahu Market along South King Street. There's parking at the Municipal parking garage behind it with all metered stalls, entering from Ala Moana Blvd. Or come on Sunday and you can park anywhere, loading zones included. I've had roast meats from here many, many times throughout the years, and it's never by choice. Never once did I have a good experience. Roast pork was the most often, and it is terrible. The pork belly isn't the best quality or have been in frozen storage for ages. There's a slight off-putting taste, which is more pronounced because the pork has zero taste. The skin doesn't even crisp properly to a nice, crackly, puffy bubbles. You're often left with rubbery, hard roasted skin that's inedible. What's also odd is the skin doesn't even stay on the meat! Compared to all the roast porks in Chinatown, this one ranks at the absolute bottom. Even restaurants that deep fry their roast pork to reheat them taste better! Recently had pork stomach, and it was gross and inedible! The stomach was not cleaned and poorly prepared. The awful and unpleasant smell and taste of organ meat that wasn't cleaned well or at all was obviously there. No one could eat any of it after one bite. I couldn't waste it, so I cleaned it myself and I could see the fat and other impurities stuck on it. After boiling it for over an hour, and a good rinse, it was fine. Can't stand offal meats not cleaned well! Their roast duck is very subpar. There is no "roast" at all. The meat is tough, dry, and bland, and the skin isn't even crispy! It's soft and the fat didn't even render off at all. Awful! Take a close look at the photo, and you can see what I'm talking about. Don't even bother with the duck wings with fingernails on. They're old, bony, tough, and one more taste. There's no meat, just skin. Pass. Last one I'll talk about is the Char Siu. Again, no "roast" at all. It seemed like they were just boiled to a well over done and soaked in a bland, tasteless sauce with red food coloring. Moving on for the roast meats, Chun's does offer a variety of raw meats and seafood. Whatever you're looking for, they'll probably have it from frozen rabbit to live frogs and fish to frozen chickens to pork blood cakes to king salmon, and etc. These fare better since they can't "butcher" it from cooking. Timing is key for the meats as you could get super fresh meat or very old meat, but take a closer look or even a smell of they let you. The seafood section is much better with so much variety and they're all fresh and well-kept. Overall, it's a big operation here with so much variety of meats and seafood. The staff here are aplenty and they're all generally friendly and helpful. They can kill, clean and prepare any meat and seafood to your liking, except for the roast meats apparently. The prices are cheaper than most, with the quality rarely a hit and usually a miss. Just stay far, far, far away from the roast meats! read more

Chun's Meat Market - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Chun's Meat Market is located in Chinatown in Downtown Honolulu. I was craving some Char Siu, and this place happened to be there. It was the typical Chinese BBQ meats -- Pork, Duck, Chicken. I spoke in Cantonese: 1 pound of Char Siu. I watched him chop / slice it in front of me. It was delicious -- the meat was not too fatty and was flavorful. Worth checking out if you like Chinese BBQ. read more

Chun's Meat Market has a large variety of meat to choose from and it all looked delicious. Although I did not get to try it this time, the roast chicken with its glistening skin in the window looked mouthwatering. My friends bought the the roast pork and the roast duck, which I was able to try to get an idea of how some of the roast meat taste. The roast pork was too glutinous for my taste. Its skin wasn't very crispy and tasted a little burned. The roast duck was solid but the skin also not as crispy as I'd like. Chun's Meat Market a good choice if one is in Chinatown, but Asian Mix on Beretania still wins for some of the most succulent and crispy roast duck and roast pork in the city. I will return to Chun's Meat Market to sample some of its other meat including that roast chicken. read more

I've been at Chun's Meat Market a total of 3 times and it wasn't a great experience. They were last minute needs for roasted meat and I had no choice but to go to Chun's. Reading the reviews on Yelp, I thought Id give it a try, during one of my visits, my mom needed roast pork for her spinach entree so I stopped by to get 2 lb of roast pork. The roast pork was mediocre and not the greatest. During this recent visit, was during New Year's Eve, when I placed an order at my original go to place but found out they had sold my duck since I was 2 hours late to pick up my order. I had no choice but stopped at Chun's for duck. I purchased half a duck since I wasn't sure if it would taste good. One duck was sitting there and they took out 3 new & fresh ducks, I requested for the new one but I was denied. The lady at the counter wanted to put my half duck in a small take out box which I asked if she could use the bigger take out box, It looks much better in the bigger box vs the small box. From looking at the roast duck and I could tell by some of the pieces of duck, by the color, it didn't look edible, I am going to have duck problems. For our New Year's eve dinner, I took a piece of duck, only took one bite and had to throw it out. The duck had a lot of meat but had no taste. The duck didn't taste like roast duck at all. Even the plum/duck sauce that came with was very weird. The roast duck had no taste, I just couldn't eat it. There were leftovers,sitting in fridge for days, until I had to throw it out. No duck or roasted meats for me from Chun's, I am going back to my usual place. They do take credit cards, which is great, I noticed business name as Island Manapua on the credit card receipt. Note, Chun's Meat Market also has fresh raw meat for sale next to the roasted meats, Its bothers me from cross contamination of raw meat and cook meats, I have to make sure they use gloves when handling my roasted meats. Half of the reviews are great, but it just didn't work out for me. #4/2019 read more

I had a great experience with Chun's Meat Market. We had a company picnic and wanted to order a lechon. Auntie let us hand pick the lechon we wanted, we were able to sample the different flavored seasonings they offer. We chose Auntie's secret spice rub and it came out perfect. The lechon was hot and ready when we went to pick it up, the meat was cooked perfectly, tender, juicy and flavorful. I will be going back for the next lechon! read more

Went here because my go-to, Fong's, was already sold out for the day. If you like roast pork that is like crack seed, with lots of small bone fragments to navigate, this is the place for you, Unfortunately, this style was not good for our stir-fry. We won't be back. read more

Did not like the CharSiu at all. It was dry and a bit tough. I've had better in many other places.

After a Chinese friend (Who is a very good cook) recommended Chun's Meat Market and reading Cin T.'s review I knew this was the place to go. I came on a Saturday at 6:30am in search of spare ribs to make for a cookout later in the day ,I'm sure that they open at 6am or earlier....Wow... The first thing I noticed was the display cases full of a meat eater's dream, pork, beef, intestines and just about every body part that you can think of. I liked that this meat shop is pretty clean considering it's in Chinatown and everything is displayed nicely. I ordered my spare ribs which the gentleman cut up with his band saw to sweet sour size and was he fast! I enjoyed that he was really helpful and smiling throughout my interactions with him. The best thing of all was the total amount I paid $12.69 for 3lbs , I know that if I went to a supermarket I would easily be paying double the amount for sure, plus you just have to love the Chinatown experience. The next visit here I'm going to pick up some of the Roast Duck,Char Siu and Roast Pork that was on display, Dayam! They all look so good! *Drool* *Street Meter Parking or Municipal Parking Available near by. read more

Best pork butcher on the island. Best Roasted Pork with crispy skin on the island. Awesome char siu! Awesome customer service! I decided at the last minute that I wanted to bring back Hawaiian Island Pork with me to Los Angeles. Local pork is absolutely bombshadiggidyoohsodelicious as compared to the mainland pork. I took a last minute run to downtown Chinatown to go visit Chun's Meat Market, because they have the best local meats at reasonable prices! After looking at my Yelipe (Yelp Elite) friend Brian M. and Cin T.'s review, I knew that this place was the perfect place to go and that they were opened EARLY! I got there at 6:15 a.m. and they were already open! Every cut of the pork that you can imagine is sold here - butt, shoulder, ears, brains, blood, intestines, snout, head, feet, bones, etc. The pork butt here is cut so that the bone is exposed (not like huge 7 lb chunk pieces they do in the mainland). I just told Mr. Butcher what I wanted, the parts I didn't want, and he cut my meat right there in front of me. At $3.99 a lb, it was a bit more than what I was expecting to pay, but I knew it was good fresh island meat! Meat Grade: A- This market also has roasted pork (siu ji yuk), roasted pork (char siu), turkey tails, turkey wings, intestines, stomach, roast duck, roast chicken, duck wings, and about any kind of roasted goodness that you are craving. I also tried to get a piece of roasted pork. I pointed out a small piece on the tray, and Mr. Butcher said, "No! That piece is dry. You have to try this nice juicy piece of meat." With a smile, I said yes and while he was cutting my meat he even gave me a bit sized piece to try. It was delicious,juicy, crispy skin, and delightful. This roast pork was the best I've tried ever in my life! Grade: A+ I also decided to get a piece of char siu (roast pork) to add to my lunch. I asked Mr. Butcher for a piece and he chose a very nice piece of meat (wasn't the first one off the skewer that could have been pulled off). Score. Mr. Butcher didn't give me a sample of his meat, but I knew it was going to be delicious. It was sweet, tender, and juicy! Score! Grade: A! Parking in downtown Chinatown can be a biot*h, but if you go early enough, you might be lucky to find street parking. Friendly service, reasonable prices, fun to shop. Product Grade: A Service Grade: A Worth the Money Grade: A- Overall Impression Grade: A read more

How can I come into town and not visit my namesake?! Sorry in advance, if you don't understand my chinglish and bad phonetic translations, but I'll try to provide english translations where I can. I did try the char siu (roast pork) and siu jieh (roast pig), but didn't get to try my favorite, the faw ngop (roast duck) because the wife wouldn't let me have it. Pretty decent siu lop (BBQ roasted meats) though. That whole roast pig hanging on a chain from the ceiling just reminds me of when I had to deliver one to my (at the time) fiancée's house to trade for her hand in marriage (yeah, we have some strange traditions). One pig for one wife? Not a bad deal (I thought at the time, anyways). If we were back in the old country, that pig would probably be live and I'd have it on a leash. How can I give my hok jai less than 5 stars, you ask? OK, I have to dock my boy a star for cleanliness, but that's the way it is in Chinatown. read more

Attention fellow meat lovers and carniWhores!! From snout to tail, this one-stop meat shop has EVERYTHING you need! Be it roast duck, fresh pork or whole roast pigs, Chun's Meat Market delivers on execution and taste every time. As mentioned in my previous review, my family has been patronizing Chun's for decades. In addition to local favorites like char siu and roast pork by the pound ($7-8/lb), we exclusively order whole roast pigs from them for special occasions at least a couple times a year. Whether it be for birthdays, anniversaries or Chinese-Vietnamese ancestral ceremonies, Chun's is our go-to place for the main star of our parties. - Orders needs to be placed at least 1 week in advance. - Their suckling pig is also to die for! But we usually get the full-grown pig to feed our guests. WHOLE ROAST PIG ($7.99 if buying individually by the pound): - Weight varies around 30 to 35 pounds per pig. We usually pay anywhere from $225 to $250 each time (my dad usually gets discounted since he's been a loyal customer for years): http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuns-meat-market-honolulu?select=jPIkS4tmF01A8MMreWpXaQ - Perfectly seasoned and salted w/5-spice and cooked to tender perfection. There was a good ratio of meat-to-fat on our last pig. - The crispy crackling is my favorite part. It's the first thing I go for as soon as I eyes on the poor piggy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuns-meat-market-honolulu?select=WSRNQFIRs-qgPnMTgXztSQ The pig's entrails are also included with each whole hog order. Nothing goes to waste, love offal! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuns-meat-market-honolulu?select=QZIAgSqFUPWEHKwtKBdahw Don't forget to grab a few pounds of their other popular items while you're there: Price varies from $7 to $8 a pound: CHAR SIU RIBS: Tender and lean riblets. Not as flavorful as their regular boneless char siu (see below), but still pretty tasty. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuns-meat-market-honolulu?select=z1B1NDPOQFDjRiWwSogKqQ COMBO OF TRIPES (honeycomb and blanket beef tripes) and PIG EARS (right side): Cooked in a ginger, shoyu, mirin-based sauce. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuns-meat-market-honolulu?select=KLUOSLQDE5OHfabT4SOo3w CHAR SIU (old pics from first review, sorry for the poor quality): http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuns-meat-market-honolulu?select=ti9vpucKibjB4zJC0byyww http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuns-meat-market-honolulu?select=mGgNvfeYsCq74iOqT5ibBA read more
