Island Manapua Factory

Their Dim Sum, Baked Manapua and Rolled Chow Fun are all good. The staff friendly.

The good: duck half bao is awesome, duck is small, but taste was great.
The pork belly half bao was also super good.
The char siu manapua was good, but on the sweet side. Also the buns looked like they were all wrinkled, sitting too long? Not sure, but the buns tasted good.

The not so good: veggie manapua was a total fail... Did not taste good at all...

Location is way out of the way, and without GPS, it would have been difficult to get to.

Also parking is super limited, we got there before lunch, so parking was easy to get right in front.

They take MC and Visa, so don't come with AMEX or Discover, or bring cash.

An interesting things is that they make all the dough right in the back, and you can kind of see it though the doorway, which was cool.

Overall a good experience, though... For what we ordered, it seemed kinda pricey...

My childhood fav for great grab n go local snacks.

If your looking for delicious Manapua go to Island Manapua. Their Manapua is delicious. The best. The half moon pork hash & shrimp dim sum is yummylicious. There's also other onolicious things too. They have everything to satisfy you hungry appetite. The people always friendly fast service. Go try for yourself you will be going back again & again.

Friendly service and great food! One of the few/only places I've seen on the island that sells duck buns really quickly (grab and go). Their menu is reasonably priced and as I said above, they were very friendly when inquiring about certain foodstuff questions.

I would highly recommend coming out here, especially as parking is a lot easier to find compared to circling any other parking lot in Chinatown!
