Fishcake

Cute place with unique items. They also have a pop-up food stand with various chefs rotating. Street parking.

Artsy furniture store?A venue for small foodie businesses?An event space?Fishcake is all of the above...Located in the industrial part of Honolulu's Kaka'ako district, you can find jewelry, tables, plants, pillows, etc. Just walk around and browse... it's good to get ideas and see creative works!I came here twice - mostly for food. I had Shave ice on a Saturday and Jian Bing on a Tuesday. Also, mabuhaylicious made her debut with mochi banana bread on 8-6-24... CONGRATULATIONS!

Fishcake is an artist haven with all sorts of artisan goods. What makes this place popping is the test kitchen in the front serving up a daily rotation of delicious treats. On Saturday, we enjoyed udon noodles and shave ice! The curry udon was great. Homemade and prepared fresh. Highly recommend checking instagram because there are options to make a reservation for your bowls in case they run out. The shave ice is also so good and so melt in your mouth. Love an absolute smooth ice that is almost creamy! The hojicha was my favorite but we also got the matcha and strawberry. Before leaving, couldn't leave without picking up a few lattes from the fridge.Everything here is cash or Venmo, so be prepared! The only challenge here is the parking. The street has really limited parking and there's currently construction going on that makes it worse. Do not park illegally or you could risk being towed! Most people move in and out quick so just be patient.

i love fishcake and how multi-purpose this building is!There is 4 parking stalls in the front of the shop. otherwise good luck with street parking if there is any available. In the front there is a little kitchen space where they have rotating vendors. Sometimes they have about 2/3 vendors per day. Check their instagram to see who might be popping up.In the back of the store there is art and they also do workshops (mostly ceramic classes i think). Sometimes they do little events at night too and bring a whole bunch of different vendors in which is really fun.

Discovered Anh Chi Em Bakery pop-up on IG recently and had to go check them out. Look for them outside of @Fishcake in Kakaako.They have the friendliest team working. I can tell a lot of love was put into the pastries and baked goods. I'll leave my review here until they start their own Yelp page. Find them on Saturdays from 10am until 2pm outside of Fishcake Hawaii.As I was born in Vietnam, though grew up here. Many of these treats remind me of my childhood and snacks my parents would bring home for me. The nostalgia brings me joy and I enjoyed these sweet and savory treats. My first bites were their Chả Giò Chay (veggie spring rolls). Sorry, no pictures as I inhaled them in the car. Flavorful and satisfying, even though there was no meat.Their Pâté Sô was crispy, flaky, and buttery with layers of homemade puff pastry. Filling is made from pork and vegetables. Shitake mushrooms and onions. The traditional ones come with a pork and pate mix. I don't believe there was pate in these ones. Also had a Bánh Tiêu - fried hollow sesame donut, they are a little sweet and little savory. Try these with jook. They make a great pairing.Finished with a Banh Do Lợn - mung bean pandan layered mochi. Gotta appreciate anything layered as it is more labor intensive. For those not familiar with pandan. It is very prevalent in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially desserts. Think of it as their version of vanilla. Extracted from pandan leaves. Pandanus amaryllifolius is a tropical plant in the Pandanus genus, which is commonly known as pandan. It has fragrant leaves which are used widely for flavoring in the cuisines of Southeast Asia.They mentioned to look forward to Banh Bao (Vietnamese manapua) in the future. Those are my absolute favorite and hard to find. They contain a savory pork with vegetable filling, half a hard-boiled egg and lup cheong slices. Go check them out and go early before they sell out.IG: https://www.instagram.com/anhchiembakery/

Fishcake is a delightful hidden gem in the back of the Ward area, a charming enclave offering a unique mix of food vendors, a furniture store, pottery, a salon, and more. It's a place that came highly recommended, and I was specifically urged to try the hand-pulled noodles available on Saturdays, a popular item known to sell out well before 1pm.Taking this advice, I had the pleasure of sampling the Hand Pulled Biang Biang Noodles from @shimas_oodles.of.noodles, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The noodles themselves were a testament to the art of hand-pulling, possessing the perfect texture that only skilled hands can achieve. The spicy sauce, when combined with the extra homemade chili oil I requested, resulted in a dish that was nothing short of culinary perfection.Having tried hand-pulled noodles in various places from Honolulu to NYC, I can confidently say that these noodles are a standout. They balance heat and flavor impeccably, making every bite a delightful exploration of taste. And at a price point of $13, it's an unbeatable value for the quality you receive.The only caveat is the limited availability - not only do these noodles sell out quickly, often before 1pm, but they are also only offered once every other week. This exclusivity means you need to plan your visit early to ensure you get your fill. Despite this, the wait and effort are absolutely worth it for a chance to indulge in some of the best hand-pulled noodles around.

Cutest little art/workshop w/daily kitchen pop-ups. Got the spicy hand pulled noodles today. worth it. Support small local businesses/artists.Ig: @shimas_oodles.of.noodles

Fishcake...grounded fish and or other seafood mixed with a binding item along with any ingredients that may otherwise be thrown away which then is usually fried or steamed and is a great meal or an accent garnish to add that flair...not quite!This uniquely artsy furniture and home decor shop is home to various artists including the current Maneki Neko show which I absolutely love being Japanese and have been educated throughout my childhood of it's representation hold very dear to me and seeing the various visions of different artists is breathtaking!This review is actually celebrating it's 15th birthday...what!?! Seriously yes and what a celebration as many of it's friends all came out and embraced this lovely place. Honobono sampler bites and sips, @hawaii_an_napua stunning sweets, @sweetie_hnl, Dj @fernsnstuff and a bunch of local artists made it a night of amazing inspiration.They not only have items for sale in their shop they bring in creative minds in every thing you can't imagine that they do in their Fishschool! @fishschoolhawaii is their Instagram page is a must as they post all classes online and it goes FAST! Did you every want to make jewelry, pottery, tapestry or just painting and don't know where to begin this is a great way to pick the instructor's brain as away and learn. Walk away with a piece of your own creation.You are your own inspiration and the incubator cafe is a place I'd love to have the opportunity to enjoy. Like making fishcake It's the little things brought together creates the greatest joy.Thank you!

I always drove/walked by Fishcake, wondering what the heck this place was. I'd hear that they did pop ups on weekends and finally had a chance to check it out when Shima's had their noodle pop up there.First of all - parking is difficult. They only have maybe 3 stalls right out front & besides that you're left to fight with the UFC gymgoers for street parking lol. Luckily we found one maybe a block away so it wasn't too bad!The inside is so cute! They have tables where you can enjoy your food, cute artwork, clothing etc etc. Very boutique vibes. While we were waiting for our Shima's order, we grabbed some amazing shave ice from Chillest & kept on walking around fish cake. The store extends back and also a bit to the right, so lots of explore. Unfortunately we didn't buy anything this time. If the parking wasn't so unfortunate & maybe we went on a busy less chaotic day I would've enjoyed myself more but I will def be back for another pop up!

So much fun in Bonnie's cookie decorating class! Not only was it fun and educational but the cookies tasted amazing! I plan on taking more classes with her!
