Chun's Meat Market

An unassuming stand in Chinatown on S King with amazing roasted meats! The service was so friendly and welcoming and smells mouthwatering. I tried the roasted pork and duck...the crispy roasted pork almost didn't make it home and I couldn't help myself. So crispy and moist. I did refrain myself from temptation with the duck but it was also delicious!Will definitely come back ao!

[Food]- Roasted Pork ($13.99/lb): Never a miss, always a hit for me! Pork is juicy! A great balance of lean and fatty pieces with an addictive crispy skin. I love grabbing a small box and taking it to a nearby Pho restaurant to indulge in noodles and roasted pork! Or sometimes I'll even come by for a box to take with me to the beach as a snack or even as another dish for dinner! [Service]- Fast, friendly, helpful- The nice lady gave us a few extra yummy pork skins to add to our box, thank you! (:[Overall]- I always come back here when I'm in the area! Super delicious and nostalgic for me since I've been here multiple times with my family as a child during the holidays.- I hope they stay there forever as it's one of the best not just on the island but even better than most places in Bay Area, CA!- I've also tried the Char Siu and Roasted Duck, which both were just as delicious, just not as amazing as the Roast Pork

......Chinatown Honolulu....rich with variety and tradition...located in the heart of Chinatown and nestled in the old Oahu market....Chun's has deep roots here. Early Sunday morning, when all the flavors and products are fresh, is when I enjoy shopping at this venue. Chun's has raw meat as well as fully cooked products for sale. I ordered a shoyu chicken, one that was hanging in the glass showcase, for our party. The server asked me if I wanted the whole cooked chicken cut into pieces and I replied yes please. She chopped the chicken into nice portions and arranged them into the box. I also ordered a 1/2 pound of char siu and a 1/2 pound of roasted pork.As I bite into the piece of shoyu chicken, there is a complex layer of flavor to the meat. Nestled in there are the star anise taste, a Chinese spice flavor and of course shoyu. You get the feeling that this recipe has been passed down through the generations!The char siu is rich in flavor and texture. The sweet meaty piece has that distinctive char on the outer edge. The leftovers will accompany any Saimin dish or fried rice serving. The roasted pork is meaty as well...meaning more meat than fat. A beautiful crusty crunch blended with a satisfying moist bite.Parking in this area is a challenge in itself. There are no tables or chairs to sit on.

Ordered a whole pig for a party, and the look on my mom's face says it all. Overall, it was a big hit with everyone at the party.The guys at Chun's are always super nice and a pleasure to deal with. I asked them if they opened on New Years Day, and he said, "We're open everyday." Haha. I think it's good to know of spots that will be open everyday, including all holidays, when you're in need of something good to eat.

I was visiting hawaii for a family wedding. My dad told me to buy 2 whole pigs for the wedding. Not familiar with where to order but my cousin that's local referred me to come here. I ordered 2 whole pigs and they had the best deal and the pig was so good to eat at the wedding. 5 star rating because of the taste of the pig, 5 star with how fast they made it, 5 star with how nice the workers were. Now I know whenever I visit hawaii, my go to spot for ordering pigs. Mahalo Chuns Meat Market!!

Late review, but they were able to accommodate a same day order for my granddaughter's 1st birthday! Such nice people. Support local and order from them!

We ordered a whole roasted pig for a wedding. It was a hit. They will cut it up for you and put it back together as if it wasn't cut up!

If you're looking for the most affordable Chinese roast meats, as well as raw meats, and do not care at all about quality, preparation, and freshness, then by all means, this is the place for you! But if you want roast meat that is prepared well, tasty, clean, and fresh, and is willing to spend just a couple of dollars more per pound, then avoid this place!Chun's Meat Market has been a staple in Chinatown for a long time. It's located next to Oahu Market along South King Street. There's parking at the Municipal parking garage behind it with all metered stalls, entering from Ala Moana Blvd. Or come on Sunday and you can park anywhere, loading zones included.I've had roast meats from here many, many times throughout the years, and it's never by choice. Never once did I have a good experience.Roast pork was the most often, and it is terrible. The pork belly isn't the best quality or have been in frozen storage for ages. There's a slight off-putting taste, which is more pronounced because the pork has zero taste. The skin doesn't even crisp properly to a nice, crackly, puffy bubbles. You're often left with rubbery, hard roasted skin that's inedible. What's also odd is the skin doesn't even stay on the meat! Compared to all the roast porks in Chinatown, this one ranks at the absolute bottom. Even restaurants that deep fry their roast pork to reheat them taste better!Recently had pork stomach, and it was gross and inedible! The stomach was not cleaned and poorly prepared. The awful and unpleasant smell and taste of organ meat that wasn't cleaned well or at all was obviously there. No one could eat any of it after one bite. I couldn't waste it, so I cleaned it myself and I could see the fat and other impurities stuck on it. After boiling it for over an hour, and a good rinse, it was fine. Can't stand offal meats not cleaned well!Their roast duck is very subpar. There is no "roast" at all. The meat is tough, dry, and bland, and the skin isn't even crispy! It's soft and the fat didn't even render off at all. Awful! Take a close look at the photo, and you can see what I'm talking about.Don't even bother with the duck wings with fingernails on. They're old, bony, tough, and one more taste. There's no meat, just skin. Pass.Last one I'll talk about is the Char Siu. Again, no "roast" at all. It seemed like they were just boiled to a well over done and soaked in a bland, tasteless sauce with red food coloring.Moving on for the roast meats, Chun's does offer a variety of raw meats and seafood. Whatever you're looking for, they'll probably have it from frozen rabbit to live frogs and fish to frozen chickens to pork blood cakes to king salmon, and etc. These fare better since they can't "butcher" it from cooking. Timing is key for the meats as you could get super fresh meat or very old meat, but take a closer look or even a smell of they let you. The seafood section is much better with so much variety and they're all fresh and well-kept.Overall, it's a big operation here with so much variety of meats and seafood. The staff here are aplenty and they're all generally friendly and helpful. They can kill, clean and prepare any meat and seafood to your liking, except for the roast meats apparently. The prices are cheaper than most, with the quality rarely a hit and usually a miss. Just stay far, far, far away from the roast meats!

Best roast pork ever!!!!!! Whole roast pigs are also available. My family orders for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings and family get togethers.They also have a huge variety of fresh seafood, pork and free range chicken!! Any part of the pork is also sold here too. I buy all my seafood here; and meats. There's no other place in Chinatown that's has better pork and seafood. Good service and great quality! Also price is very reasonable!

Did not like the CharSiu at all. It was dry and a bit tough. I've had better in many other places.
