ホノルル : Off The Beaten Path Food Tour

You will try a plethora of international foods in Chinatown. From fruit, to chicken, to poke, to sashimi and sponge cake. The guide is very knowledgeable about Island History. Highly recommended.

A very amazing day of eating our way through the small restaurants of Honolulu’s China town. We sampled so many of the local delicacies including foods from all over Asia and the blending of all the cultures of not only Asia but also the Azores. We couldn’t eat dinner that night as we were still full from the tour. Our tour guides TJ and Rio were wonderful explaining the history of how the particular foods became Hawaiian staples. If you love food this is the tour you must take. It was worth every penny.

Ohana Ohana Ohana!! This Tour was much more than food, it’s a story about a company that looks to build a forever memory thru both food and love. TJ our host was absolutely fantastic! He had the knowledge of food but his strategic emphasis on culture, island history as well as food experiences & relationships (with the vendors) and his affable manner set the tone for an unforgettable experience! He wasn’t lying when he said to pace yourself, that the portions would be healthy & we’d find ourselves full by tour’s end! The food was ALL great tasting. But it was great to go behind the scenes, taking you to local eateries that you wouldn’t have even considered! We highly recommend this tour when you’re in Waikiki! Don’t be afraid to try something different! Tina & Mike

The tour was great, the food was really good, and our guide Ryo was excellent. We were a little uncertain at 1st, as the first stop was in a "not so nice area" of Chinatown. However we were able to overlook that aspect and we were soon sampling food that we would otherwise never try.

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Shared info about food and history. Variety of food. If u like raw fish this is the tour for you. Very fresh.

Victor was absolutely great! Took us to places that we would’ve never seen if we were traveling on our own. Very attentive to all the guests on the tour. Really informative! Had an absolutely wonderful time! Victor is truly in a class of his own.

Had an amazing time on this tour. I had taken a food tour in Honolulu several years back that was good ... and this one was even better. Victor was amazing at telling us about the food and it's origins. There was SO MUCH FOOD! He even gave the extra away to those that wanted it. The quality was superlative. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend this tour.

A great experience, not only sampling several aspects of local food, but also experiencing the bustling vibrant market and learning some local history along the way. Convenient pick up from cruise port ( hotel pick up also available) . Small groups, friendlt knowledgeable guides. Advice: Don't eat breakfast! Lots of food to sample! 😃

Victor, your guide, will deftly take you on a culinary tasting experience with seafood, fruits, and other delicacies you likely have not tried before. If you are at all curious about what happens when cultures blend and creative food styles spring forth, then you will enjoy this tour. So many different kinds of fruit to try, direct from the farm (talk about Farm-to-Table; the shopkeeper is also the farmer!) and fish from the sea. Have you ever tried Chutoro Poke? Unbelievable. Who knew that was a thing? Most poke is made with lesser quality; this, this is the real deal. Victor was weaned on this stuff and really curates an experience. I am almost reluctant to tell everyone about this but I want him to keep running the tour so we can go again. Totally recommend this tour.
