The oldest food district in Honolulu — poke, fish markets, and dim sum since the 1890s.
1 joint · zero chains
Honolulu's Chinatown is the oldest continuously-operating food district in the state. The same streets that sold fresh fish to plantation workers in 1900 still sell fresh fish today. The restaurants change; the vendors at the market stalls are often the same families, third or fourth generation.
Maguro Brothers is the current Chinatown must-visit — a tiny storefront run by three brothers who cut sashimi-grade tuna to order. The poke is technically excellent. For everything else, walk the market stalls on Kekaulike and Maunakea streets.
