ホノルル : Off The Beaten Path Food Tour

A great selection of delicious foods from the local Chinatown. The tour was interesting and the portions were generous. We enjoyed seeing the vendors at the market and got a peek into a section of Honolulu most tourists never see. Our guide TJ was friendly and provided lots of good information.

Victor and TJ were the best. They were very knowledgeable and all of the food spots were truly local! Transportation from our hotel was also included. I would highly recommend this tour.

I think this food tour will be the highlight of my week in Hawaii. All of the food samples were delicious, well prepared, and of the highest quality, and you definitely fill up quickly if you don't pace yourself. Victor and Treje were excellent and informative guides, not to mention super nice and patient with everyone's questions. Best part for me was sampling fresh caught choturo and the steamed uhu, or parrot fish--both out of this world good. Definitely make this part of your Honolulu experience.

We were on a cruise from LA and decided to do this food tour. They picked us up right from the cruise terminal and took us to the meeting point near Chinatown. TJ and Victor were our tour guides. We stopped by quite a few places for delicious food. Make sure you bring your empty stomach because there are a lot of yummy food to try out.

The walking food tour of Chinatown was both fun and educational. TJ our tour guide did a fantastic job! The people that were in our group were all nice and I believe everyone enjoyed all the different food and fruits that we tried. Definitely bring your appetite. Even our 25 year old son who can eat a ton, had to finally tap out! Kudos to TJ again, he’s knowledgeable and very laid back!

Tj was an amazing guide! Had a great balance of history, food knowledge and giving the guests time to get along. Can’t recommend this tour enough, it’s a must! So much food, and able to take home whatever you can't finish. Very local, very good, and the best sashimi you'll ever have!

Knowledgeable, fun, accommodating tour. TJ and Victor were absolutely amazing. They looked after everyone, making sure everyone had enough water along the way. The walking was easy and not far and a great experience of seeing that area of Honolulu. There were so many different foods on this tour! We had a mixed group with a vegetarian, a chef, and someone who was not a big seafood fan but there were plenty of options for all and we all had a great time. Highly recommended.

We had a great time, the tour guides were awesome and the food was great. We will for sure be doing this again

Pros: - Incredible selection of both raw and cooked foods. - If you love sushi and poke, this is absolute heaven. - Lots of unique local finds you probably wouldn’t discover on your own. - Knowledgeable, friendly, and laid-back hosts who make the experience fun and approachable. - The tour length felt just right; never rushed, never dragged on. Cons: - Be prepared: it’s a lot of food! Thankfully, the hosts and participating restaurants provide to-go containers and ice packs so nothing goes to waste. - If you’re traveling with someone who isn’t a fan of fish, raw foods, or is generally picky, bring them anyway! There are still plenty of delicious cooked dishes and fresh local foods to enjoy. Overall: This tour is absolutely worth the price. Considering what it costs to eat for a day in Waikīkī, I thought this was an excellent value. You get generous portions, a wide variety of foods, local insight, and a genuinely fun experience. I’d recommend it without hesitation. Bring a bag to carry your leftovers 🐠

A nice exploration of Honolulu's Chinatown and the food it has to offer! We sampled various fish dishes, as well as fruits and desserts, and if was nice touring a more historical part of the city.
