Don’t you just love food prepared by women who know their way around a kitchen? Our moms, grandmas and great grandmas who cooked 365 days a year – each day was practice in chopping, flavors, techniques and taste testing. If you’re into Korean food (or delicious food in general), you’ll be surprised to learn that one of my favorite spots for Korean food is not a restaurant. Instead, it’s a tiny food court in a small Korean grocery store in Honolulu.
Palama Market: Living In Hawaii & Things To Do In Hawaii
The area across Ala Moana Center on the other side of Kapiolani boulevard is locally and unofficially called Korea Town (according to my local Korean friends). A quick drive through the streets reveal a smattering of Korean shops, eateries and signs.
Look for Palama Super Market, a small beige building with blue letters in English and Korean. Come hungry and save some room for snacks!
For those of you who don’t watch Korean dramas like my Dad (he loves them), an ajumma is an older female, usually married or at a marriageable age. Loosely translated, it means “aunt, ” but I’ve always understood it to represent a stereotypical, older housewife.

The food court is just a small part of Palama Super Market (but totally worth it). The rest of the market is a grocery store full of fresh fruits, vegetables and meat. But it’s the homemade side dishes that steal the show.
Everything is laid out in self-serve style and it’s a great way to add variety to your meal. Try some marinated crabs or sweet taegu if you’re not sure what to try.
There are also a lot of side dish snacks wrapped up and ready for you to take back and eat later. Sweet potato, kimchi jun, bento boxes and even spring and summer rolls.

Local Tip: There are a lot of Koreans who shop here. Ask any of them for their recommendation if you really want to have an authentic taste of these side dishes. Most of the workers are also Korean and can offer you suggestions as well.
There are a ton of other Korean restaurants that are both delicious and affordable, but I’ve always loved the simplicity of Palama’s menu. Plus, I love that Korean ajummas are in charge of the cooking. Who better to cook delicious Korean food?
I grew up in Hawaii and love trying out new things to do in Hawaii. When I'm not writing about Hawaii travel, I document my Mom's recipes, hike with Daisy the waddling rescue, work on my 200-gallon aquaponics system, and dream about my future van conversion so I can do some more traveling.
