Combination plate
Gregg R.

If you have a car in Honolulu, you will want to try one of the local's favorites in the Kalihi area. Nothing pretentious, nut amazing local food served in large portions. Try the combo plate where you can choose your own variety of items. The pork lau lau is a must as well as the beef stew. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program as they will send you offers to your email. Last week we got a BOGO so we had to use that one, literally $30 off!

Laulau and Kalua pig plate combo
Chez T.

My food was really good. Combo Laulau/Kalua Pork plate with rice, lomi salmon, pipikaula, and sweet potato . Excellent! Kalua pork was juicy, laulau was loaded with pork and the sweet potato was cooked to perfection. My other plate was a Beef stew plate with rice and mac salad. My beef stew was really sweet and not at all like I remember it. It was still good and a great portion size but just sweet for my liking. I finished off my order with a spicy Pastele and that was excellent as well. Service is efficient and seating area is relatively clean. Discounts are posted on the counter and are offered on different days of the week not every day. My only complaint was the fountain drinks were flat but that's minor. This place offers the perfect Hawaiian comfort food.

I've been to Young's Fish Market for Hawaiian food before, but it's been a while, since the Dillingham area is usually off my beaten path. This is why I was so glad to see them newly listed on Uber Eats. I've enjoyed their laulau, but I've been reading about how great their beef stew is, and I love a good beef stew! I had made up my mind to order a plate, then while browsing the app, I saw "Buy 1, get 1 free" next to the Beef Stew Plate. Many of the folks at our office are small eaters, but I thought of one coworker who might enjoy and be able to finish a stew plate. I offered it to him and he gratefully accepted. I placed the order at 9:47 am, and the two hefty plates arrived at 10:04 am. I don't recall any of my delivery orders arriving that fast before. The big clear plastic bag contained: * two covered plate lunch containers with two scoops of rice each * two larger containers of stew * two smaller clear plastic containers of mac salad * two each of plastic spoons and forks * napkins I handed my coworker his share and I proceeded to eat mine while the stew was still hot. The plate lunch containers had empty space intentionally left open, with the scoops of rice on one side. This would allow folks to pour the stew into the plate to eat with the rice. This time around, I chose to eat my stew with the spoon, and occasionally scooped some rice into the gravy. I've never had stew meat this tender, enough so that I could just about cut it with the plastic spoon. There was a good balance of potatoes and carrots. It was delicious. The gravy was somewhat dark, not the reddish/orange color at some other places. And I never enjoyed mac salad as much as I did today. At many plate lunch places, mac salad is a filler, sort of a rice extender. Young's didn't resemble the macaroni-and-mayonnaise-looking mixture which passes for mac salad at some other places. This one had texture, carrots, bits of green, and perhaps some onions. As for my coworker? He said: - Raymond, thank you so much for lunch. That beef stew was awesome. I demolished it right away. The potatoes and the carrots were super soft, which is perfect and the meat was super tender. I'm thinking of ordering Hawaiian food next.

Combo plate

We went to our favorite Hawaiian Food restaurant Young's Fish Market located in the Dillingham Plaza. In addition to their Famous Hawaiian Food. They make some of the best Chinese Roasted Meats on the island. They make Char Siu, Chinese Roast Pork, and Chinese Style Char Siu Ribs. Today we got one of their Pork Laulau's and some Char Siu Pork, and the Chinese Style Roast Pork. The Char Siu was roasted to perfection sweet and savory. Their Chinese Style Roast Pork had that delicious crispy skin on top and tender meat underneath with just the right amount of seasoning. Service was great we got in and out very quickly. They have a small dine in area, most of us get Take Out. Delivery service is available. Definitely recommended

I haven't been here in a while, but I always love this spot. I try to come on Wednesdays because it's the only day that they sell oxtail laulau. Their oxtail laulau is the best laulau ever. The combo plate is too much for me. I usually get the oxtail laulau $21.75, two scoops of rice $3.25 and a half pound of squid luau $7.50. Holy smokes, I can't believe a pound of squid luau is now $15. It's heavy, so you don't even get that much. As I already stated, their oxtail laulau is the best. It contains a good 3-4 small pieces of oxtail. My husband didn't want one, but after tasting mine he wanted to get his own. I love squid luau and like it on the sweeter side. This one wasn't sweet, so I just added my own sugar. It was also a bit watery and didn't have enough coconut milk. This place is always packed during lunch hours. Trying to find parking is a pain in the behind.

Turkey tails, Mac Salad and Butterfish Lau Lau served Tues and Fridays (kalua pork and Kalbi from Helena's)
Doug T.

Came to Young's twice this visit to Oahu. They have the best Lau Lau with the most choices. Got their Butterfish lau lau with side of mac n cheese and turkey tails. Pork lau lau and Big Al's on our second visit. Fish was tender and sweet fish flavor. Pork lau lau is just da bomb home cooking. Mac salad hit the spot and the turkey tails... OMG so savory and fatty goodness. They offer counter service and then you can sit inside to eat you food. Plenty of other food options and ways to order. Ala Carte or combo plates. Casual homey atmosphere. Wife ordered Big Al's Bento which was two meals for her. good choice if you want to try a little of everything. For sure will be back

Located in the City Square Shopping Center next to Utage Restaurant and across of Kamehameha Bakery and Ube Bakery is Young's Fish Market. Went in to grab some Hawaiian food and I decided to choose Al's Bento which comes with a mini Lau Lau which is mini, kalua pork, 1 slice sweet potato, Lomi salmon and 1 scoop of rice or poi. The mini pork Lau Lau was more than 1/2 fat hardly any meat. It was moist but you need to hunt for the meat. The sweet potato was good and steamed right. The kalua pork was okay and the Lomi salmon was mostly Lomi tomatoes. I asked if they had chili pepper water which normally they have a container on the counter, but he said it will be .26 cents for a 2 oz container. My wife ordered the Kailua pork plate with rice and she ate less than 1/2 the plate. Lot of new faces, don't know if same owners since Barbara & Allen passed away times have changed and the cost of doing business has also changed a lot and the mom & pops are having a hard time keeping up with the rising costs.

Seating
Roya J.

Small spot with mostly takeout business, but also some tables and chairs to eat at. Poke and chicken were excellent as was the prices with aloha service. Free parking in their lot for an hour, or street parking.

Pork Laulau
Nellie C.

Some of the best local food on the island. It's always our first stop after we land. The Lau Lau plate is my favorite. Food is ready instantly and everything is fresh.

Hot Laulau availability
Vina P.

Safe to say the laulau here is da biggest da largest. Da biggest da largest - wise words by Bigxthaplug The lyrics are something like that. Amazing good quality food across the board. I've had every single type of Lau lau here except for the chicken and veggie. The laulau here are da biggest, da largest. Pork laulau - 11/10 Perfection. Big, hearty, and tasty. Butterfish laulau - 8/10 Love butterfish? It's worth the splurge. Available on Tues and Fri only. Oxtail laulau - 8/10 Summer special only. If it didn't break the bank, I would come every Wednesday four times a month cuz that's the only time you can get it. Cut it open and you'll find tender soft oxtail with the bone in it. Please don't bite without looking for the bone. Please make smart decisions. The sign that says oxtail laulau is $13 each is wrong. It's $21.75 each. Squid laulau - 10/10 BREAK DA MOUTH Veggie laulau - available frozen only Chicken laulau - Great for those who prefer to skip pork, beef, and fish. Turkey tail is such a comfort food. My hubby always gets it on the side. They got plenty sides that pair well with laulau. Like chicken long rice. Or get a stew. Yes, you can get a side stew for $15. No judge me, Kay? A lot of people dining in were enjoying the plate lunches and poke bowls. You can also get your choice of fountain soda to wash it all down. Perfect for dining in or out. There are a couple tables for dining in against the windows and walls. It's truly good local food that hits the spot. Service here is on point and friendly. You tell them what you want, pay for it, wait nicely on the side, and enjoy the food after. Remember to bring your aloha and empty stomach. Happy yelping!

Veggie laulau are frozen $9 each (butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots, tofu)
Milton K.

Big Al's bento is my go to order so I don't fall asleep while working. Side order poi & Loni salmon. 5 Stars app gets me an additional hot laulau. On a dreary Thursday before the lunchtime crowd Young's Fish Market food hits the spot especially as the family heads to snow country for Winter Break. Service is fast and friendly. It's clean in their blue collar throw-back dine-in area. So nostalgic. Time to grind!

Henry P.

Always a blast for dim sum during lunch Food and staff is always awesome Most definitely will be back as always

Young's Fish Market beef stew !!!  It's the best in Honolulu.
Edward M.

i did receive the refund via doordash so disregard the message that i did not receive it. so far no refund that they promised for the char siu ribs that they said they were sold out (at 11am). it's been almost two weeks and they also didn't acknowledge that they forgot the haupia. i don't think i'll be getting anything from this place for a long time if at all.

Do they still accept Gift Cards? I forgot I had them for a couple of years now.

Does the butterfish lau lau have pork in it? Or just fish?

Just butterfish !

Is this the Young's that used to be in Nuuanu where the old Hungry Lion used to be? I remember going with my mom back in the 60's to pick up Laulau from a place called Young's back then.…

They are extremely consistent, since ever, and every dish tastes authentic. Pipikaula, which is the pulehu short rib, is my favorite. Lots of meat on the bone, and the fat in the meat you can taste with every bite. We got chicken long rice, beef stew, side rice, lau lau, haupia, and kalua pig with cabbage, lomi salmon, chili water, poi! Lau lau is Ono, definitely home made, and lots of meat inside. Almost forgot, we got watercress soup too. That's my favorite veggie! And the beef in the soup was cooked down so it was very moist. A little pricey overall but very worth it.

Every trip to Hawai'i I look forward to upsetting my doc back at the mainland by gorging on some ono local grinds. Boy is he going to be angry. Give me a Chee Hoo for some Fried Butterfish Collar! How they are able to fry this fish without drying it out, allowing juices to just ooze out after breaking through the crisp exterior is mind bending. They know it's good bc when I excitedly ordered a second serving the waitress gave me a knowing wink. This is my new "last bite." Kalbi. Juicy. Well seasoned. Some of the best I've had. You know it's a popular dish when bc when I looked inside the kitchen you just see rows upon rows of ribs hanging ready to be pulled down and thrown on the grill. Lau lau-pork and butterfish steamed in ti leaves, a Hawaiian comfort food. The main reason for this trip was to bring my Mom back to her hometown in Ewa. She commented that she has not found a lau lau to her liking in San Diego so when this was brought to her and she went completely silent and smiling eating it up you know it's good lol. I was very happy Helena's take brought her joy. Kalua pork and cabbage. I can't attest to it bc it was being hoarded on the other side of the table and I was just happy with the butterfish and kalbi as is lol. Poke-Bruh, it's Hawai'i. Haupia-oh goodness. This was the perfect way to finish off the meal. The traditional coconut pudding was refreshing without being overbearingly sweet. Looks like Jello blocks but firm enough to pick up by hand. Outstanding. Service was ridiculously friendly and epitomized the Aloha spirit. This place is a foodies dream stop, serving locals and tourists alike since 1946. This place is a freaking institution!

We put our names on the list and there were a handful of parties before us. Fortunately, we only waited about 20 minutes to get seated on a Saturday.

Our server, Jason, greeted us with a warm smile and took our drink and food orders. We got a few items that we don't usually see at Hawaiian restaurants back home. Hawaiian Moco: opted for the lau lau as suggested with lomi salmon and macaroni salad. For $24.99, it was huge, succulent, flavorful and worth the price point! Smoked Moco: the Kiawe-smoked meat was tender, sautéed with bell peppers and onions and topped with a yummy smoked aioli and local egg. The mini for $16.99 was the perfect portion for me. Fish Tacos: the fish was fresh, cooked perfectly on taro tortillas with chili aioli, avocado mousse, shredded lettuce and lomi salmon. The fries were thick and crispy too. Squid Lū'au Combo: with lomi salmon and poi, sweet potato and haupia (a coconut dessert) the squid was cooked in a starchy broth. It was like nothing I've had before.

We came as a group of seven and everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved every bite. My tip: get at least two musubis per person. A few people in our group got four each and had zero regrets. One thing to know ahead of time is parking. It is street parking only and pretty limited, so plan for that if you are driving. Overall such an easy, yummy stop and a great local experience in Waikiki.
