Aloha! Welcome to Chinatown in Honolulu, Hawaii. When Asian traditions blend with the Aloha Spirit. It is the only place on the island of Oahu that makes you feel like you are in South-East Asia!
Chinatown has always been a special place for me because I remember when my dad took me here as a kid. Now, I want to share it with you. In this video, we’re going on a full-day Hawaiian Chinatown food tour in Oahu.
Before I start, please support the Asian community. It’s been a struggle this past year. Small businesses have been on the decline, and hate crimes towards Asians have been on the rise. One of the ways to stop this is to show the beauty of Asian culture and its great shops. That’s the goal in this video. So let’s get it started and go on this food tour!
Any questions you have, leave me a comment, and I’ll be more than happy to reply. But, that’s only if you liked this video and subscribed ☺

This makes me homesick ... and yeah, real Pho comes with a ton of veggies.... I've seen little old Vietnamese ladies eat whole heads of lettuce with their lunch.

You need to try out “Roast Duck” in Aiea shopping center 2 nd floor right in front when you get off the escalator. They sell out early just after lunchtime. They also have killas fried rice that has a lot of char siu in it. Yum !!!

@SeanKaleponi Год назад

Mahalo Byron! I heard great things about a certain store in Aiea Shopping Center on the 2nd floor. I'll try it for sure. Thanks for the suggestion🤙❤️

Sean,… Thank You for the tips, dude. making a trip out to the island in 2 weeks and can’t wait to eat some local cuisine.

@SeanKaleponi 2 года назад

Aloha Jimmy! Enjoy your trip here. 2 weeks is soon! Please let me know what you think of the foods. Mahalo🤙👍

@jroszel14 2 года назад

Thanks Sean. I was stationed there in the 90’s at the Kaneohe Marine Base there so I am returning to the island. I am sure that there have been lots that has changed. We have had this trip booked for almost a year now and I have been spending a lot of time on Google Earth to get myself re-acclimated to the island. The North Shore eateries I am most excited about. The SevenBrothers Burger and the Shrimp truck are what I am most looking forward to as well as the Poke Nachos. My mouth was watering just watching ya eat it. Also wanted to let you know that I found your videos to be the most entertaining, so to you and your lovely wife, please keep up the great work.

Aloha from Maryland. Thanks for another great vlog, very informative and entertaining too. Wanted to ask, is Fook Lam wheelchair friendly? I travel to Hawaii once a year w/my 90 yr old Mom who is in a wheelchair. I'm going to assume parking for this would be in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza. Mahalo!

@SeanKaleponi 3 года назад

Aloha to you in Maryland!:) thanks for watching the video and supporting us!:) and yes, Fook Lam is wheelchair friendly. You can park in the Cultural Plaza Parking Lot and it's wheelchair friendly. It would be against the law if it wasn't. You and your Mom will have a great time there!:)
