CHINATOWN RESTAURANTS
CHINATOWN, OAHU
Hawaii’s Chinatown offers a variety of enticing restaurant options, from authentic Chinese food with a local twist to Hawaii Regional Cuisine.
Dim Sum, or Chinese dumplings, can be savored in many Chinatown restaurants for breakfast or lunch. Just point to what you feel like trying as steamer carts piled with bamboo baskets are wheeled by. Select dumplings stuffed with shrimp and vegetables, puffy char siu bao filled with Chinese-style minced meat, smooth custard cakes, or taro gok (fried balls of taro).
Beyond Chinese food, you can sample everything from Malaysian, Vietnamese, Mexican, and even Cuban fare. Make a reservation for fine Eurasion cuisine at Indigo Restaurant on Nuuanu Avenue. From fresh pho to fine dining, no visit to Oahu is complete without whetting your appetite in eclectic Chinatown.
