The Islands are home to literally hundreds of small take-out shops, okazuya (Japanese delicatessens), plate-lunch places, manapua shops and bento stands. This is a mere sampling.

KWONG ON

Chow fun, peanut candy, char siu bao, pork hash, curried half moons. Kwong On, operated by Chun Tsui Chin and William Chin, is the classic Chinese take-out spot, in operation since 1966. Go early for the good stuff.
