Very good local meat market and my go to place for roast pork (see gee yuk?) and Char Siu. They do a very job and are pretty consistent with the quality of their product.Auntie, sorry, don't know her name, usually always gives you a small bite of the meat, either the char siu or roast pork, as a treat. Not sure if it's a way to say thank you, to keep you occupied while she cuts up the meat, or to show you the quality of her product. Kind of like smelling the cork on a fine wine.They also sell meat, hence the 'meat market" in the name. It it the roasted meats I come for.Good product and a good price with great service from a very nice and friendly lady. Only reason they're not five stars is they have a stall more in the back of O'ahu market but it's worth the short walk into the market.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. For our Christmas Eve Dinner we picked up roast duck, roast pork and charsui. The two "aunties" who assisted us were so friendly. We sampled a piece of roast pork while waiting for our order. So delicious. They also have a meat counter. Loved the ambiance of Chinatown's meat markets and The surrounding shops and restaurants. As for the duck, roast pork and charsui, they were onolicious! I forgot to take a picture of the food but it was definitely enjoyed by all.

Nice husband and wife team with years of experience - making some very tasty roast pork, char siu- and they also sell fresh meat-luckily they close about 4:30 so even when other vendors are closed - you can still get some ready made dinner!

Looking for the best char siu in Chinatown Honolulu? Kams meat market is the place! Her char siu is juicy and flavorful. Tucked inside Oahu Market on North King st. look for the stall with the dripping golden pork, duck, chicken, and char siu on display. You know it's good when there is a line of kupuna waiting to order and that is how I stumbled upon Kams. Try it for yourself.

Really nice lady and friendly service. Roast pork belly was hot and fresh. Skin was nice and crispy. Good ratio of fat to meat. Well seasoned. Kams is inside the actually market. Just walk into the building after the street side fruit stands and you'll find her... there... with glorious crispy pork belly.

My mom's been going here forever for the roast duck and pork. Finally got the chance to explore Chinatown and I had to seek out her secret place. The butcher is super nice and friendly. Picked up roast pork today, Skin is super crispy and oh so soft and tasty meat. This would be sooooo good stuff into a french bread and cucumber. Yum!!!

This char siu is delicious!!!! It's our fave. It is nice and red, sweet and flavorful with some charred bits. I want to try their roast duck but last time I went, it was sold out to the lady before me. Now I'm even more curious. The staff is very friendly.

The meats are very flavorful and juicy. I love this place as the owner always gives my grandson a sample. They are always nice and greet me when I see them. The prices are getting higher like everything else but worth it when compared to the other meat shops.

Earlier this year, one of our good regular customers at my part-time job came to us super early. How early do you ask? We open daily at 10am and he showed up at 840am. I just got through disarming our alarm system and I was tidying up the front of the house when I see this guy approaching our door. Business hours are from 10am so I didn't find the need to unlock the door but when I realized who it was, I walked over to the door. He had a bag in each hand and handed it over to me. The bags were heavy and was advised the food came from Chinatown. He went to pick up some things for home and also got food for us. I am truly blessed with such great people around me.When I asked where the food was from, he replied "You know, the place behind Fong's Meat Market on N King Street. I knew exactly where he's talking about but couldn't immediately recall the name. I was now on a mission: On my next visit to Chinatown, I would check this place out. Come to find out, this place is Kam's Meat Market (KMM), where they are a butcher shop selling assorted raw cuts of beef and pork on one side. Then on the other side, you'll see an a display case of of roast ducks, char siu pork and slabs of roast pork hanging with some whole shoyu chickens sitting. I recall coming here many blue moons ago when I was sent on a mission to get beef tongue in Chinatown. I walked around many shops in Chinatown until I finally came across KMM, where they do carry whole beef tongue. While waiting for my beef tongue, I vividly recall the staff trying to drum up business when she offered a sample of their roasted meats to a potential customer. The strategy worked because this led to a sale.Regarding the roast ducks, I would rate this in the Top 3 of what Oahu has to offer. The duck was seasoned well and meaty. The skin was pretty good, too. Because I ate the duck hours later since it was purchased, I need to further investigate by purchasing a fresh one and eat it sooner. Overall, a very pleasant find and a great alternative in the event I am looking for roast duck. I do have my go-to place but they are closed on major holidays. I wouldn't hesitate to patronize KMM and am curious to try their other prepared foods.

Gotta find street parking - street sign is same design as a few stores along the side - so little tricky to find - per pound you order - char siu and duck was good, just wish was more meat on the duck but cannot help - no sitting down to eat - order to go
