1. Senia
$$$ | Chinatown |Every item on the modern American menu at this small, sophisticated, James Beard Award–nominee is carefully concocted and artfully plated. You can order à la carte or indulge in the pricey tasting menu at the Chef's Counter; dessert is a must thanks to pastry chef Mimi Mendoza's delectable works of art. The same owners also operate the swanky bar Podmore, nearby.

2. The Pig and the Lady
$$ | Chinatown |Chef Andrew Le's casual noodle house attracts downtown office workers by day and becomes a creative contemporary restaurant at night, pulling in serious chowhounds. Drawing on both his Vietnamese heritage and multicultural island flavors, the talented, playful Le is a wizard with spice and acid, turning out dishes of layered flavor. The restaurant has food stands at farmers' markets, and its sister restaurant, Piggy Smalls, serves a scaled-down but similar menu.

3. Fête
$$ | Chinatown |At lunch, regulars pack into this tiny, brick-walled space for the burgers and specials; at dinner, they come for the pasta and locally sourced seafood dishes or the to-die-for twice-fried Kauai chicken with grits and collard greens. Here, you'll probably get cozy with the table next to you as wait staffers glide between tables with full trays and great attitudes. There's also seating in a smaller, quieter, upstairs library. The specials are fabulous, as are the craft cocktails and the beer list.
2 N. Hotel St., Honolulu, Hawaii, 96817, USA808-369–1390Known For

- Great pau hana (happy hour) menu

4. Legend Seafood Restaurant
$ | Chinatown |At this large Chinatown institution, the dim sum cart ladies stop at your table and show you their Hong Kong–style fare. If you come for breakfast dim sum, arrive before 9 am, especially on weekends, if you want to hear yourself think. There are also à la carte lunch and dinner menus.
100 N. Beretania St., Honolulu, Hawaii, 96817, USA808-532–1868Known For

- Dim sum, reasonably priced by the dish

5. Livestock Tavern
$$ | Chinatown |Livestock Tavern scores big with its seasonal offerings of comfort foods and craft cocktails and its cowboy-minimalist decor. Although meat, including some of the best burgers in town, commands the menu, offerings like burrata, creative salads, sandwiches, and fish round out the possibilities. Note the seasonal drink specials with creative names. Weekend brunch is also served.

6. Local Joe
$ | Chinatown |Local Joe is a great spot to stop for coffee and a light bite before or after your explorations in the Aloha Tower, Chinatown, downtown, and historic Honolulu. The coffee shop roasts its own beans and has a latte art "printer" that leaves detailed designs on your drink.

7. Lucky Belly
$$ | Chinatown |A hip local crowd sips cocktails and slurps huge bowls of noodles with a modern twist at this popular fusion ramen bar known for its savory broth and its trendy small plates, such as pork belly buns and oxtail dumplings. The service here is unpretentious and attentive if you eat in, but you can also order your food to go, and late-night hours make it a great stop after shows at the Hawaii Theatre or when dinner elsewhere didn't quite do the trick.
50 N. Hotel St., Honolulu, Hawaii, 96817, USA808-531–1888Known For
- Steaming hot pot dishes
- Small but unique cocktail menu
- "Belly Bowl" with smoked bacon, sausage, and pork belly

8. Mei Sum Dim Sum
$ | Chinatown |In contrast to the sprawling, noisy halls where dim sum is generally served, Mei Sum is compact, shiny, and bright—it's also favored by locals who work in the area. Be ready to guess and point at the color photos of dim sum favorites or the items on the carts as they come by, or ask fellow diners for suggestions. It's open daily and is one of the few places that serves dim sum from 8 am all the way to 9 pm.
1170 Nuuanu Ave., Honolulu, Hawaii, 96817, USA808-531–3268Known For
- Deep-fried garlic eggplant
- House special garlic rice
- Dim sum made fresh daily
-
9. Pho To Chau Restaurant
$ | Chinatown |Those people lined up on River Street know where to go for bowls of steaming pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) with all the best trimmings. This hole-in-the-wall storefront was the go-to pho spot long before hipsters and foodies found Chinatown. Many Vietnamese restaurants have since opened, and some have surpassed To Chau's quality—it's all in the broth—but eating habits die hard in this city.
1007 River St., Honolulu, Hawaii, 96817, USA808-533–4549Known For
- No-frills service and sometimes a wait for food once seated
- Old-school, 1970s decor
- Large pho can be easily shared
