Cindy M.

I really enjoyed going to Maunakea Market in Chinatown. It was refreshing to visit, as I got pretty tired of the tourist areas in Waikiki. This seemed like a more local, authentic experience. The food shops in the building here made it feel like I was traveling overseas, from the smaller seating area and the fish market. There is a variety of foods, mostly Filipino, Chinese, Vietnamese, and poke representing. Towards the back there is a fish market, where the fish are so fresh and I guess you could say the displays were beautiful. Outside of the main food court area are some vendors. I didn't get to check out many of them, but they did remind me that of other Chinatown shops in other cities. I loved that this felt so familiar, yet was a new experience!

A shopping center in Chinatown. There is a food court with plenty of good options and a fish market. There are some souvenir shops that are bargains. I bought a Hawaiian shirt here.

Some of the vast array of fruit available at this great little produce kiosk

My first stop was to STEPHANIE'S VIETNAMESE FRESH FRUIT MARKET located at the far right end of the marketplace on the street level from Hotel Street. I always stop here to check on the price of Dragonfruit. Unfortunately, the price was $5.99/pound so I'll have to wait maybe another month or so for the price to come down. While I was there I picked up some Longan and a Hayden Mango. They had a ton of local Lychee ($12.00/pound) and Mangosteen ($14.00/pound), different types of potatoes, peeled Jabongs, Papaya, Mountain Apples and Jack Fruit. So much to chose from the folks who run this little produce stand are friendly and helpful.

The central place for it all... Growing up yes I've been to Chinatown and to many places all around which many are still here and have evolved and changed hands with different merchants and shops. As i started to venture on my own I've gotten to appreciated crafting and here in Hawaii it's very difficult to find such specific items and I've been told that Kimi's is the place to find some items and at very good prices. Yes many shop for groceries, meats and some veggies as well all that is in the area near Hotel Street though in the back or more towards Maunakea Street are some food court stalls and no it's not all just Chinese but many other types of food as well. They do have some tables for convenience but you need to get there early or be lucky to have one though is a great place to take a break from shopping as they also have Mickey Cafe for some yummy smoothies that Nadine had showed me...I have so much to learn and explore as it's a shoppers paradise here and so much to see. Thank you!

Fresh local veggies and prices were reasonable. Lunch was at the food court. I wanted some OG home cooked meal this place satisfied my cravings. Although the Loco Moco wasn't the greatest per my daughter.

10/3/23 Center courtyard

Quality/Quantity - Maguro Bros is one of the more popular businesses here, too bad they are leaving (might have already left by the time I finally write this review). Their sign was misleading as they were still in business when we visited on 10/3/23. Public parking, trolley, bus stops, and the Hawaii visitor center are all immediately adjacent. Atmosphere - Decent size shopping center, market place, and food court. 68 tenant, 52,500 sq ft retail center. Second story with an office and warehouse space. But it feels very outdated. Quite a few vacancies, see pictures. Many Asian businesses and restaurants. Shared common area with tables and chairs to eat. Open 7 days a week from 7am to 3:30pm; individual business hours may differ. Service - The owners of each business were not very engaging. I do not believe one person greeted me. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. Overall, very affordable. Owner Comment - Congrats to Geyser Holdings (the owner of the marketplace) success since 2003.

Let's be honest: China towns came into being because it provided a place where Chinese could get familiar goods and services, and conduct business in their native language/dialect. But racism also played a role in the formation of China towns. Now that Chinese are not restricted to a concentrated location, maybe it's a good sign that Chinatown is losing its reason for being. (Maybe?) I read a lot of stories in the news about Honolulu's Chinatown. Primarily, stories about Chinatown's history, decline and how it might be revitalized as part of a general downtown redevelopment plan. Since I was on a walking tour of Honolulu's downtown, it wasn't much of a detour to check out Chinatown for myself. Frankly, I was underwhelmed. There are a lot of older buildings, and businesses who are attracted to lower rents. But a lot of the products and services offered here can be found in newer, fresher retail situations. If you want to tour Chinatown, you might as well pop into "Maunakea Marketplace"--but I wouldn't make a special trip to visit to visit this marketplace.

Shopping and dining in Honolulu's Chinatown... Maunakea Marketplace is a unique experience on The Island of Oahu. It's not the most luxurious place because there's no carpeting nor air conditioning. Instead, it's an outdoor shopping center where various cultures combine to provide goods and services to residents and tourists. PARKING: Personally, I like to come on a Sunday when metered street parking is free. There are also Municipal Parking Garages and parking lots which have reasonable rates. There's an enclosed food court where you may find mostly Chinese, Thai, and Filipino cuisines. Towards the back, there are stalls with fresh produce, seafood, and meat. Right outside the food court, there are a couple of convenient boba/smoothie vendors. Tucked on the sides of the marketplace are a couple of beauty shops. In the middle of the courtyard is a Kwan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) statue where you can burn incense and/or make an offering. I enjoy the shops with beads, costume jewelry, trinkets, t-shirts, tote bags, and lucky charms. Usually, I can find a jade pendant or a cute coin purse for gifts. I also like to look at Asian styled clothing... I've purchased jackets and blouses here! Maybe you'll find something, too!

Main entrance to Maunakea Marketplace

If you want to shop or grab a bite that's in an enclosed area in Chinatown, Maunakea Marketplace (MM) is where you should go. The main entrance is on Maunakea Street, sandwiched between Hotel St and Pauahi St, where you have a pair of Chinese guardian lions, or foo dogs, to protect the property. There are also side entrances on Pauahi St and 2 on Hotel St. There are multiple stalls selling fresh meats, seafood and produce with some exotic items, too. You'll also find some large tanks with live seafood where the prices are considerably lower than what you see at supermarkets or specialty stores. There is also a food court in MM that primarily consists of Filipino food stalls. You'll also find some Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, a new Latin-Asian fusion, local foods and a sweetbread stall. My personal favorites include Papa's Cafe and Mei Mei Chinese BBQ. Previously, MM was HOT HOT HOT and very unpleasant. But thank goodness the air conditioning has been fixed where you can shop and eat in cooler conditions. I recall the olden days where doors were kept open to alleviate sauna-like conditions, which led to unwanted pests coming in. Need to cool down? You have the ever so popular Thanh French Coffee and Bubble Tea that serves made-to-order drinks that is so reasonably priced. The crowd of people waiting for their drinks may seem intimidating but it's worth the wait if you ask me. There are also a handful of stalls/shops that sell clothes, accessories, Chinese knickknacks, good luck charms and plants. MM is a great place to shop for items if you're into Feng Shui. Want to be pampered? There is also a beauty salon, nail and pedicure spa. So many things to see and do at Chinatown prices! Foot traffic in Chinatown considerably dies down from mid-afternoon. So, you'll need to come early to MM for shopping and eating. They're open daily from 530am to 4pm. Keep in mind that MM is CLOSED on major holidays . Don't expect to come here to buy things on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's for your holiday gatherings. Worried about parking? Utilize the multiple municipal parking lots within walking distance. They are very economical. On the other hand, the metered rates have recently gone up, so it gets pricey if you park at a metered stall. As the Unofficial Mayor of Chinatown, I declare MM not only a historical landmark, but a great place to bring family down for shopping and eating. NOTE: Most of the businesses here are CASH only. Only a very few select shops accept EBT and/or credit cards.

A hustling and bustling marketplace in China town full of numerous food stalls, grocery fronts and fresh produce stalls. Most food stalls offer plates and dishes under $10 bucks; variety of ethnic cuisines vary from Filipino, Thai, Korean, Chinese, Hawaiian and many more! Come here at lunchtime and all the stalls have numerous dishes on display on steam tables. We had sigsig and something non-memorable at Jayde Ice and Filipino Restaurant, but the others looked good, we'll have to come back. Reminds me of Hawker stalls in Singapore where there are numerous "mini restaurants" within a large enclosed marketplace.

Came into the area looking for a Mexican stand in this Chinatown food court. Whoah! The soups, stews, coconut desserts, fried fish, chocolate stew,...I can go on and on. So many stands and variety of dishes. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but I deferred. Walking around, there is a meat market and a bunch of trinket, tourist and Asian shops.

Great customer service yelling at us from behind the counter that we have to leave cause his wheelchair don't fit . We fit np
Roxy A.

So today we made it a family day and walked in to see if they had a few things we can't seem to find ... low and behold yes they did but the reason for the 1 star is my hubby is in a wheel chair and she yelled at us we needed to leave the store his chair don't fit ... how's the customer service... can someone explain how to support small businesses if they don't want it? Mind u we didn't hit anything and we were i. There at least 5 mins looking around so idk what the problem is but oh well saved me $$$ and her fresh clams on ice were all dead just saying

Where I found parking, but they were already closed.

The perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of commercialized Waikīkī. Glowing tiki torches, it captures my every step. Curiosity takes hold of me as my eyes gaze towards wooden kiosks. They're closely knit, all selling a hodge-podge of brick-a-brac island-style pieces geared towards tourists. A jumbled assortment of curiosities, memorabilia and trinkets of remembrance. Cheap shell leis, carved wooden tikis, jewelry of all sorts, handmade items. Displays of bright Aloha attire and accessories complete the shopping experience from stores along the perimeter. Vendors chatting, laughter in the distance. A comforting hum, a laid-back vibe. Unpretentious and deeply welcoming. All centered around a grand, massive 100+ year old banyan tree. Balanced on urban living, it was a connection to the social fabric of Honolulu. Nostalgic, charming, extremely unique. This was the original International Marketplace in Waikīkī. From 1956 to 2013. I remember it vividly. Do you? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I grew up coming to this open-air marketplace. Eclectic shops and a food court. This place had personality, charm, island-style warmth. I frequented this spot from childhood into young adulthood when traveling from the Big Island of Hawai'i and during my university days at Mānoa. Memories with my family as a kid, with my college friends many years later. Having a quick meal as an adult at the International Marketplace food court while employed in Waikīkī. It was a spot for cheap eats in a relaxed setting. I've watched musical diva and Hawai'i legend, Melveen Leed perform many times. My parents still remember watching Don Ho here. At the original International Marketplace back in the day. Precious memories. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Now it's a blend of fresh air and natural light on three floors. Polished, refined with modern touches. Still offering a lively yet sweet escape with a fluid layout and an unconfined atmosphere. Reimagined and reopened in 2016. Home to major brands and unique local boutiques. A shopping and dining destination. Exhibits and the century-old banyan tree trace the rich heritage of Waikīkī. Entertainment welcomes visitors and kama'aina like myself to this gathering place. I've dined multiple times on the third floor Grand Lānai. Featuring chef-driven restaurants and local cuisine. Casual food concepts line the Kūhīo Avenue Food Hall on the first floor. Breakfast, lunch or dining under the stars. There's something for everyone. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Since reopening in 2016 after a three-year construction phase, I've returned back a handful of times to the International Marketplace. Do I miss the version I grew-up with? Of course. But I understand why redevelopment was sought. It's prime real estate in the heart of Waikīkī. Physical expansion and a multi-million dollar modernization to capture high spending visitors as tourism and revenue shifts in Hawai'i. Honestly, I've shopped and dined at this modern version of the International Marketplace more times than the one I grew up with. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Revisit the International Marketplace like I have and embrace the transformed landscape. As it evokes deep sentimental meaning, a bittersweet clash of cherished history and modern progress. Take a photo by the iconic century-old banyan tree. Become lured by local boutiques along with luxury ones. Relax, shop, dine or people watch while taking in the view. Here, it's not just about spending money, it's about spending time. A space for everyone to create new memories.

There was this poor lady in front of me that tied up her dog on the poles (but in eye distance). It's so hot out right now and the risk of overheating or even kidnapped is a possibility. I could never do that and leave my dog tied up even if its 10 steps away because it could just take seconds for my sweet simba to be stolen. However, they don't seem to mind if you carry them or have them contained in something like a bag tho, but i think thats a little unfair for people who have larger dogs and can't do this. I also did not realize that the park across with the bridge also doesnt allow dogs on the grass, but it seemed like it just recently happened when the newer park re-opened. I think maybe a good solution is to add more trash cans around and maybe doggy bags like other communities that allow pets instead of hiring security to enforce pet owners to stay off the grass. Please don't punish the pet owners that are responsible but come up with a solution that there can be at least a happy medium for everyone.

No strict plan needed. One minute you're browsing locally made jewelry or handcrafted souvenirs, and the next you're drawn in by live music drifting through the open-air walkways. It feels lively without being overwhelming, like the perfect balance of energy and ease that Waikiki does so well. It also has that effortless day-to-night transition. During the day, it's bright, breezy, and great for a casual stroll or a quick bite between beach time. By evening, the whole area softens into something a little more magical: Music, people lingering longer, and the gentle breeze giving your nighttime stroll that movie magic. It's the kind of place where you say, "just one quick walk," and somehow end up staying for hours.
