Not sure where to eat while vacationing in Honolulu? Try some of the favorite dishes of top local chefs on this guided Hole-in-the-Wall Tour, where you’ll find out that a restaurant does not have to be dazzling to have the most exquisite food.

We’ll pick you up to begin the tour. Attire will be casual, and comfortable shoes are recommended. Come hungry because for the next four hours, we will take you around the city to explore those out-of-the-way restaurant gems and places serving exotic ethnic foods that make up the food scene in Honolulu. Our guide will have suggestions for each location from the top chefs in the city who have told us what they like to eat on their days off. Here are some of their recommendations: barbecued meat satay, pieces of meat marinated in spices and herbs and barbecued to make an authentic satay; Hawaiian plate lunch, which traditionally includes rice, macaroni salad, and a meat entrée; Vietnamese summer rolls, a mixed salad of shrimp, noodles, and pork wrapped in rice paper; Bento Boxes, a Japanese box meant to hold lunch for one; and Hawaii’s mysterious crack seed, a popular snack in Hawaii. You will also have a chance to try pastries, Chinese dumplings, Thai noodles, and Mediterranean fare.

There will also be time for you to explore Honolulu’s Chinatown. In Chinatown, you will find restaurants specializing in not only Chinese food but also Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Korean, Filipino, Hawaiian, and Pacific Rim cuisine. Chinatown is also home to a Buddhist restaurant.
