Update: They no longer have tartar sauce to go with the fish n' chips.So far, Jolene's has the best fish n' chips I've had on O'ahu. The fries and fish came out piping hot, and the Gold Cliff bier is an excellent pairing for lunch!Lots of other items on the menu look amazing too, so I will definitely be coming back for more, but if you're looking for GREAT fish n' chips in Honolulu, look no further!The staff were also super friendly and chatty too, great people!If I have one suggestion, it would be to double the amount of tartar sauce (which is excellent bee tee dubs) you serve. One side of it isn't nearly enough, but I got more (at no charge) when I asked!Mahalo!

Amazing plate lunches. The best lobster roll in Oahu! They have beer as well! Would recommend!
Delicious food, prompt service. Parking can be iffy as this is a popular restaurant and the stalls out front are limited. We parked very close though and chose to street park. My only complaints would be that the forks are very very delicate and we actually went through 3 forks on our table. I think this is a health and safety issue as the tines of the plastic fork could possibly break off unknowingly into someone's food and present a potential choking hazard, especially for children or the elderly . I think this needs to be addressed ASAP.Parking: Free but limited spots in front, many paid street parking options in the area, free on Sundays I believe.

Since Jolene's Market is touted as "Home of Hawaii's Famous Buttah Lobster Roll" that's what I had. I was semi-disappointed that that it wasn't lump lobster pieces, but was finely shredded. The slaw under it did make it much better, and the corn chowder was good though somewhat bland. As fast food goes it was all good, with the standout being the crispy waffle fries.

Everything ordered was amazing. Birria wantons and birria melt the best I've ever had. To me the best thing ordered was the fried chicken cheese melt. Don't skip this place.
Absolute fire! It's my form of self care! The Birria Cheese Melt is a thing of beauty!

Jolene's Market supposibally known for lobster rolls. We ordered 3 along with another item cost 100.00 lobster roll was a sham! Hardly any lobster, more like smashed or canned sliver of something like fish cake texture which was smelly, unsatisfying & unpalatable. Will never go back! The worst seafood we ever had & my family unhappy ?

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. There is parking in front but limited. We decided to park in the garage, which wasn't pricey. We went between 1 to 2, and it wasn't busy. We ordered the grilled cheese sandwich for the kids and waffle fries. Also ordered the Papa Smokes Burger, a Buttah Big Boi Burger, thai milk tea, and brown sugar ube milk.I wasn't too impressed with the drinks. Was a bit water down. But we did like the food. The waffle fries were crunchy and had nice seasoning to it. The grilled cheese was glooey and the kids loved that. The japanese milk bread used with the grilled cheese was good. My kids ate it, so I was happy, lol. I enjoyed the papa smokes burger. The bun was soft and the brisket and burger patties were cooked great. My bf really enjoyed the big boi burger. It is a big burger with three patties and he really enjoyed it. Overall, we enjoyed the food and would go back again. Sorry, pictures/videos aren't good. lol we were hungry.

I've been coming here for a long time now and still haven't tried everything on their menu but one day, I will. On Tuesdays they serve birria tacos and it's ono delish!!! The consomé that comes with the birria tacos is just bomb. That's pretty much all that I order now when I come here. Yes, it's THAT good. The lobster melt is just as good too. Oh! Did I mention their Li hing sour watermelon gummies? Yummy!If you haven't been here yet, I recommend giving them a try.As for their location, they are located in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza in the Downtown Chinatown area. They're pretty much in the heart of Chinatown @ 100 North Beretania st.Their hours are from 10am - 7:45pm Tuesday thru Sunday and from 10am - 4:45pm on Mondays
