The waitress by the door was obviously impatient with us compare to how she cater other white customers, I was surprised how fast she seated the other two groups that were in line behind us to occupy all of the counter seats, without give us even a second to response to her. Disappointing experience.

Support local and attend the monthly Farmers Market at Ala Moana Center. Local vendors with everything from pot holder, Hinode Rice bags repurposed as reusable grocery bag to hand made specialized jewelry to Lihing snacks and seasone gummies. They even had stands with baseball mits and washi tape. The list goes on. Every booth unique and special units own way. I got a my melody reusable drinking glass with a leak proof bamboo life and straw and some washi tape. All the vendors were friendly and answered any questions we had. I do wish they had more vendors. It's a quick walk through with about 20 stalls but the space is limited. It was a nice easygoing time with no pressure to buy. Just local people making things through creativity and skill. It was a nice time. Oh yeah my daughter and her friend bought jewelry from Aj jewelry. She makes some great pieces. Definitely worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) I tried it at the Kailua Farmers Market in 2017 and it was so delicious that I was a bit disappointed when I came back in 2019? I did, but when I came back this time, it's not the same as before. It's just a matter of stopping by. not at all tasty(Original)2017년에 카일루아 파머스 마켓에서 먹어보고 너무 맛있어서 2019년에 다시 왔었을때 약간 실망? 했었는데 이번에 다시 와보니~ 예전같지 않긴 하네요. 그냥 들러볼민 한 정도에요. 완전 맛있지는 않아요

Okay, I've only been here technically once, but I have to say: The first time I went here and got Thai food. The pumpkin curry bowl with sticky rice and the pork skewers are AMAZING.The second time, my boyfriend got produce from vendors bring home ingredients to make pico de gallo, and it was so fresh that a quart and a half disappeared in two days. BUT the main reason I'm writing this is for the gentleman that makes one of the TOP THREE pastas I've had IN HAWAII. First is probably Uni pasta (or something else pasta) from Arancino Kahala. Second is La Cucina. Third, but coming up very close is this random never would have suspected it farmer's market pasta. Carbonara and Amatriciana. Just get those. It's gonna take 30 minutes, even if you get there early. It's one guy making pasta from scratch, fresh, with noodles and sauces that he made from scratch. Just put your order in, go buy your veggies and bread, wander around to look at booths, then come back. My boyfriend hates waiting in line but he said he would wait an hour for this. We left some of it out and ate it five hours later and it was STILL delicious, even all cold. Even the best restaurant stuff you save isn't THIS good later on. I don't like that I spilled this secret spot, but I really hope he opens his own restaurant one day, if he wants to. I would eat his pasta and bread every day and enjoy every pound that I put on!

Pretty awesome farmers market. I think it was better than the Waikiki one bc there is just so much more cooked food varieties found here. We grabbed our dinners here and even found a dessert. It wasn't too crowded. We didn't have to wait in too many long lines.

Ah....the joy of a Wednesday night trip the Honolulu Farmers Market can not be beat. It doesn't hurt that I live across the street....One of my favorite moments of the week is the post market elevator ride with fellow building residents where we can compare notes on our favorite vendors! Speaking of....Here are my favorite vendors: Pig & the Lady...Bahn Mit perfection. Little Sparrow...spaetzle dishes reimagined. Ho Farms...excellent produce and pickles Papi's Empanadas...great selection of empanadas but try out the quinoa salad too. The Local General Store...excellent meats and prepared goods. Get there early if you want one of their amazing house-made cookies or desserts! Youpo Noodles....get your noodle hand-pulled by an expert then tossed with cumin lamb. You won't be sorry. Alex Produce...it is a farmers market after all.

This was an unexpected treat. We actually rode the bus there. We were most impressed by the spetzel and the fresh Italian noodle guy. The produce was fresh too. We said we will return when we are next in Oahu

A great local food vendor market! Come here regularly for the Wednesday market for dinner. It's great with a wide variety of choices...hand thrown noodles, pizza, Vietnamese, bentos, laulaus, fresh drinks, Italian style pasta to name a few. Theres a small selection of vegetable stalls as well.
Got lots of great food from all kinds of different vendors. This farmer's market is more like a food market though. There are lots of food vendors but very little stands that sell just fruits and veggies. But super nice people all around and very welcoming!Overall would recommend if you just want to taste some fruits which there's a vendor that sells a whole box that they cut up in front of you! And also just wanting to try different kinds of popular foods. I got this seared ahi with shrimp from a vendor (sadly don't remember the name) and it was heavenly especially the sauce they use!

Farmers' market or a foodie market? Please see my pictures.Arena parking lot today as there was an event at the Concert Hall. Quality/Quantity - If you are looking for a farmers' market, you might be disappointed, only 2 vendors.If you are looking for a foodie market, this is the place to be.We frequented so many new vendors, and some familiar ones! Supporting the locals. We got the Youpo Noodles HI (hand pulled noodles), and it was fantastic! Very good! Spicy!!! Atmosphere - Food market.We Ubered, so can't tell you about the parking.Clean bathrooms in the building, so much better than outhouses, thank you. Service - Good, nice to feel like a local again. Took a week, but finally people thought we were from here. Price - Depends where you shop. Owner Comment - Hosted by the Farm Bureau; congrats on your success since 1948.

Despite it's name, Honolulu Farmer's Market is more like a night market for food vendors rather than a farmers market that sells fresh fruits and produce (I believe there was one or two vendors selling produce). I knew this coming here, so I came on an empty stomach and prepared to eat my lunch/dinner here. There is free parking in a garage/lot adjacent to the farmer's market, and there are lots of helpful signs you can follow. Since the farmers' market is on a nice grassy spot, many people will walk their dogs through here. There are some tables for you to stand and eat your food, but there are also lots of families who bring picnic blankets and sit around to eat, which is really cute as well. While the size of this farmer's market is on the smaller side, there are plenty of options to choose from for dinner and in fact, I came here twice (Honolulu Farmers' Market goes on every Wednesday from 4-7 pm) to try out all the foods I wanted. There are a good array of food choices, including Vietnamese food, Hawaiian plates, noodles, sliders, takoyaki, chicken pot pies, ice cream, boba, etc.

I've only been once but really enjoyed our visit. Almost more places to eat fresh cooked food versus getting produce or other grocery type items. Not sure if that's the case all the time but I thought there would be more actual farmer vendors. Either way it's a great little market near the Blaisdell Center in the middle of Honolulu, oh and there is FREE Parking!We scored some mac nut banana bread, apple banana, rambutan, ice cream, and Thai noodles. I'd it were a little later in the afternoon I would be totoally happy just eating my way around the whole place and sample something from every booth.Good crowd of people, nice to see the city show up for the vendors. Almost everyone masked up too, wasn't sure if it was required with current Hawaii mandates but definitely a strong majority wearing them.
