From a French dip sandwich with a Vietnamese spin to award-winning pizza, taste some of the best bites that Hawaii’s capital has to offer on a food tour of Honolulu’s Chinatown. During the 2.5-hour walking tour, expect to walk about 1.5 miles (2
km) at a leisurely pace with plenty of stops for tastings and
discussion. Visit upwards of four establishments where you'll get to
sample enough food to make up a meal. Your informative foodie guide
explains both the culinary traditions of Honolulu’s Chinatown and
historic events that have shaped the neighborhood.
Meet your guide at one of Honolulu’s most celebrated new restaurants, the Pig and the Lady, opened by a young Vietnamese chef who was born and raised in Honolulu. Hear the story of the family-run restaurant as you slurp delectable smoked bacon pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) and plunk a French dip sandwich into their signature pho au jus.
During the 2.5-hour stroll, your guide shares facts about Honolulu's Chinatown, one of the oldest in the United States. Stop into local eateries to sample an award-winning pizza topped with Hawaiian flavors followed by a tasting of garlic chicken and Thai fried chicken with a sweet-and-sour sauce. Try a Korean twist on a Hawaiian favorite loco moco, a dish where white rice is usually topped with hamburger patty, fried egg and gravy. Then finish off with one of the most decadent cheesecakes to be found on Oahu.
After a delectable array of tastings, your tour ends in Chinatown where you can explore further on your own or make your way to your next destination.

The tour guide was great, food was excellent and lots of it, the only down side is not much historic buildings compared to other cities

Best tour! We had so much fun, and learned so much about Chinatown and Honolulu in general. The group that we met with was so much fun and the guide was great. If you are planning on going there I would definitely do this tour. The food was sooooo good! and we ate so much, but had a ton of fun!

We loved it. It was my first time to try Sushi. We walked around the China town and the markets. I was able to try a fruits that I have never seen before. I was glad we did this. You will be taking left overs home with you. Fabulous.
