Market Eatery

Food Court in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii...Market Eatery is the official name of the upper level of H Mart.Currently, there are eight vendors:1. Gold Miss - known for their mochi donuts, beverages, and dessert toast2. Giovanni's - they have two "shrimp trucks" on the North Shore. This location is cleaner!3. Black Sheep Cream - the original location is in Waipio. There are creative ice cream combinations here!4. Dada Chicken - many flavors of Korean Fried Chicken5. Ireh - an offshoot of their Korean restaurant6. GAMA - the newest addition cooks up Korean cuisine such as Kimchi Pancake and bulgogi7. Natsu Boshi - Japanese cuisine such as ramen and karaage chicken8. Let Them Talk Bar - features a wall of beer spouts!The air conditioning, spacious interior, plentiful tables and chairs, convenient restrooms, and whimsical wall murals make this a pleasant venue! Use the stairs or elevator inside of H Mart to get to Market Eatery. Remember to get your parking validated if you're there for more than an hour. The first hour is free in the structure which has its entrance on Pohukaina Street. Note: I personally look for free parking on Keawe Street

Literally a hidden gem right in Kaka'ako!Market Eatery is on the second floor of HMart accessible for either a stairwell or elevator both are at the back of the market on the right side near the home goods section.Being on the second floor it's very spacious here with seating all around and restrooms right beside the elevator makes it so convenient the vibe here is bright every wall here is a work of art.At this moment there are eight eateries- Gold miss - Black Sheep Cream Co- Let them talk bar- Dada Chicken- Natsu boshi- Ireh- Gama- Giovanni'sQuite impressive to have so many to choose from and once you've decided you're given a ticket with a number so you don't have to wait at that very place for your order if you decide to go elsewhere they will announce "restaurant name and order number" so you'll know your order is ready...how cool is that!?Eating here is so spacious and I do like to sit near the window just to gaze out and enjoy. Parking is right beside the HMart and the first hour of parking is free without validation. Eat, Shop and leave Happy!Thank you!

Above hmart, convenient since I love grocery shopping haha. You have to walk into H mart hugging the right side and there'll be stairs and an elevator to upstairs.I've come here a couple times, but this was the only time I remembered to take a picture before eating lol. I ordered a meat jun from Ireh, I used to love ireh in my high school days so it's a comfort place. My friend ordered from the Japanese stall, don't remember the name well, she got a sukiyaki don. The meat jun looked a bit bare, like the egg was barely there, but it was good! The prices have definitely gone up quite a bit. The sukiyaki don looked good with a perfect onset egg. Can talk for taste. The food court is small, so if you're looking for a place to get food, there aren't many options. It's a popular place because Giovanni's is there, which I love. But at $15 a plate for small shrimp.... Not sure about that one. Dada's chicken is also pretty good, they also have milk tea and ice cream. So each stall is pretty good but for picky people, not enough options.

If you're stoping by, should definitely go upstairs to grab something to eat as there are a variety of options to choose from, I came here a couple times with family and even suggested to come here with my friends the drinks are decent but the toast is one of a kind in Honolulu, similar to the Korean egg sandwich. The Korean kimchi bulgogi sandwich was the best! The seating area is decent and the food court calls out when your order is ready.

Great little food hall with a variety of food, drinks, and desserts. Nice spot to hangout and get different eats for everyone. There's an indoor dining area and it's on top of an H Mart. Super convenient. This was our first time here and won't be our last.

Teasket Toasket is perfect for drinks! Their plantation ice tea is everything!!!! Kind of similar to Coffee Bean's plantation ice tea!

This is a pretty cool place if we weren't in quarantine lockdown. Lots of eateries, mostly asian with a beer, drink, and ice cream place. Conveniently located and they validate parking for the HMart parking garage next door. They have an over head speaker ordering announcement when orders are ready so you don't have to hold a buzzer. Not at all crowded and their bathrooms were open which for a pregnant person is very good to have. No sit down eating but waiting for food can sometimes take a while. Hope to come back for some of their beers later on.

Here's my update! Arrived at opening (11am) on a weekday, for a casual talk-story meeting on an upcoming project. Well-spaced seating and plenty of it, A/C, a bit of a view, mix of sunlight and non-fluorescent lighting. At the top of the stairs/in front of the elevator is Teasket Toastket "Tea and Toast," but I was at headache-level in need of coffee. Had planned to grab a canned coffee downstairs, but they had a list of lattes, too. Their "Sweet Salty" foam topped choice has just one level of sweet, but it was the perfect balance, and STRONG to the last tasty sip. "Toast" looked like a hearty K-drama street snack, but I wasn't that hungry. I opted to try a new concession, Gama, serving 'Korean Favorites.' I chose the seafood pajeon (they spelled it differently) to share. A savory, crispy pan fried pancake with bits of calamari, garlic chives, and zucchini. Too early for the beer wall taps or handmade ice cream on the other side of the food court, but good to know they're there! Sorry, no pics this time. I'll be back!
