    Thanks to reading the Yelp reviews and inputting Get Directions, I located the free parking into the structure. Four of us Yelp Elite All Stars arranged to meet for lunch here today at 11:00 a.m. Luckily Nadine C. spotted me in the parking garage and shared the layout of this food court. I was so surprised how huge, lighted and clean it was. Looked like only one vendor had not opened for business yet. We all got different ethnic food types which makes it a good place to fit your desired meal and taste palate. Three of us had dessert after at Mangiamo Gelato but 3 different flavors. One had Bingsu from another vendor which took a while to be completed. It's nice that the food court is enclosed and you need to use codes for the restrooms which were safe and immaculate.

    So this was my first time coming here. I had no idea you can order from any open kiosk & only credit card. So for cash holders you'll have to pull out your plastic. I can't speak to the parking because when I went it was free parking and they said it was the last day. Make sure to follow the signs in where to park do dining. This is a new place so it was clean. There is a bar closest to the entrance near the escalators. So you can have cocktails while dining. There are tables for open seating. Keep in mind it's louder closest to the bar. If you want it quieter move further away from the bar area. My friend and I ordered from Middle Eats. So delicious! We had the lamb kofta wrap, mezza platter, lamb salad, and Koshary. All so delicious! We shared everything. FYI, if taking out and ordering. Salad with meat. Before leaving confirm the meat is inside. We are there and we noticed the lamb wasn't there. We thought maybe it's in the bottom. Fortunately, we asked about the meat and showed our receipt. The were able to provide the missing lamb. They were really busy so it was an innocent mistake. Like any to go order just double check. So many great eateries. Will need to return to try other places. Two of the places, if I remember correctly, are restaurants in Manoa, Serg's and Feast. Check it out! There's something for everyone Japanese Korean dessert juices. And more!

    Free parking? I'm there!! LOL. Enter through Liona St., off of Keeaumoku and immediate right into the parking structure. Kinda threw me off cause you don't have to even take a ticket and the parking 'arm' goes up. Follow the paper signs and drive up to the 2nd level and look for a stall. They might start charging for parking as there are kiosks in the food court that are labeled 'Parking Validation'. Take the escalator to the first floor and the food court is to your right. There is a bar as you walk in with TVs showing sports. The music is kinda loud so sit further away from the bar and you can't hear music. There is a good variety of eateries such as Vietnamese, Mexican, plate lunch, Japanese, Boba, Ninja Sushi, a gelato place, and more. There are kiosks where you can place your order. I was able to go to the counter for my curry. The curry place didn't take cash so make sure you have a card when you go there. The service and food were good. I like that you can take your time here and not have people hovering around you looking for an open seat. With the variety of eateries, you're sure to find something you'd like there. It is a nice place if you wanna eat and talk story with your friends.

    Lots of indoor seating and I was impressed at how clean and spacious it was! I came here specifically to try Sakurajima, but I do know there's so many delicious eateries here that I want to try! Otherwise my only issue is that there's so much places to eat it's hard to decide where to go. LOL!

    Midtown Eats food hall opened up in January of 2026. on the corner of Keeamoku and Liona Streets. Parking structure - which doesn't require validation from a vendor at the hall - is accesible via Liona Street and Rycroft Street. Hours of operation are from 1000a till 1000p daily, except Fridays and Saturdays...when Midtown Eats closes at midnight. In these 2.5 months, I've been to three eatablishments on three occasions; the eateries that I called on were Aloha Sugarcane Juice, Middle Eats, and Feast. They have a number of other vendors, e.g. Serg's Mexican Kitchen, Mangiamo Gelato, Sakurajima, K Park Bar, et. al. Lots of tables available inside as well as outside near the hall's windows. I believe only CC payments are accepted. A patron can skip the line by ordering at various kiosks. Hours are from 1000a till 1000p, but most dining establishments open at 1100a. I've yet to see the K Park Bar open at 1000, which makes me wonder if they'll show early NFL games this September. In this updated review: I have since been to Sakurajima and Ninja Sushi and recommend both for taste and pricing. I definitely want to try Serg's Mexican Kitchen and Sadies.

    I read Yelp friend Jo Y's review of this food hall so since we were in town, decided to check it out and thanks to her description of how to get to their parking, it was a breeze. There was a lot of open spaces in the structure and no directional signs on the ground or wall so we just parked close to the escalator that we took to the first floor. As we entered, we saw lots of vendors, quite a few tables and chairs inside and outside. Vendors are: - Ms. Nguyen - Boba Bing (coming soon? It was set up but no food and no one behind the counter) - Sadie's BBQ - Aloha Sugarcane Juices - Ninja Sushi - Soul Chicken - Feast - King Thai Cuisine - Serg's Mexican Kitchen - Sakurajima Japanese Cuisine - Middle Eats - mangiamo gelato We ordered from Feast and planned to order a drink from Aloha Sugarcane Juices that I sampled from their counter but that slush wasn't ready...disappointing. Serg's has Taco Salad with the "shell"...yay, so I'll be back for that. All vendors only accepts Credit or Debit cards. They have a lot of kiosks where you can order, pay and skip the line to pick up your food. There wasn't any line so I didn't have to use it. This place offers free 2-hour parking with validation. That's more than enough time for my husband and I but not sure if you're with a large group since there's so many vendors to choose from. When we drove to the parking structure, there was a ticket machine but no ticket came out and the arm was up so we drove in hoping we wouldn't be stuck with a fee when we drove out. We took less than 2 hours anyway, no attendant was at the exit so parking was free! Lots of food I'd like to try so we'll be back!

    When the construction site wood fencing was taken down and you can see the inside of The Park on Keeaumoku condominium, most began to wonder what will be going into the commercial spaces, especially the large space fronting the main road. Korean supermarket? Boutique stores? Nope! A Food Hall called Midtown Eats! Parking is available in the parking structure with entrances on Rycroft and Liona St. Parking is validated with purchase. Inside is clean and spacious with a decent amount of tables, and plenty outside (but never seen anyone sit out there yet!). It has an obvious industrial/warehouse look and feel with the concrete floors, exposed ceilings of pipes and electrical lines, metals chairs, and etc. Simple and straightforward. It's sort of separated by sections that's goes more and more out if you start makai side, so make sure to take the ramp when you see one. There are a total of 12 vendors plus a bar offering a majority of Asian food (Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai) with a Mediterranean and Mexican place. Can't say it's a huge variety, but each place has its own unique items. There's a kiosk where you can order, but not all places are in the system yet. Overall, a nice food hall with a decent variety. Clean, simple, and spacious. Good to have more food halls and more food options. Covered parking is a plus.

    I could dine here often and not be bored at Midtown Eats located on the ground floor at The Park on Keeaumoku. First, many enticing dining choices are available here. It's similar to a mall food court but elevated, so much better. Nice to be able to select from different cuisines. Second, you can order via the kiosk (though I haven't tried it yet) or at the individual establishments. Service was prompt and friendly. Third, seating is readily available, indoor or outdoor, if you enjoy the ambiance of Keeaumoku Street. Tables and dining area are kept clean. Fourth, parking is free (so far). Parking garage is accessible from either Liona Street or Rycroft. Take a ticket and park in stalls marked "commercial". Gate arm raises when you leave - hope this stays the same New eateries have opened since my initial visit - this will have me coming back for more dining experiences!

    Food Court near the AMC. Newest food centric offering location across from HMSA and McDonalds. Located on the first floor of the new twin towers residential offerings, the Midtown Eats food court has been open for several weeks. Easy walking and located a few blocks from Ala Moana Center off of Keeaumoku street. Easiest entrance is off Liona street and is located on the mauka street side. Handicap parking is on the street level, more parking on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Validation gives 2 hours of free parking and then hourly rates come into play. When we visited the first week of Feb. there were 8 businesses open. Approx half? This includes a nice bar type area for sporting event viewing. Among the two offerings are Feast and Sergs from Manoa. This seems like a nice alternative to other eateries in the area. We look forward to Midtown Eats as the more businesses open.

    Update on Midtown Eats well today I picked up my sister and brother in law to have lunch at Midtown Eats . I've been here last week so it's my sister them first time . I didn't realize that the hours shows 10am although all the vendors (Restaurants) opens @ 11am , why would they open the food court at 10am if there no place you can order your food . Just by having that ridiculous hours they lost 1 star . We got there around 10:10 so we had to just sit there and talk until 11am . I guess the hours opening up 1 hour before the restaurant is to have tenants in the building come downstairs and play cards , or checkers it doesn't make any sense . Or I could be wrong maybe the restaurant will adjust their opening hours to meet the Midtown food court later when it gets busier I don't know ?

    I love this food hall that just opened at the Park on Keeaumoku, Midtown Eats. It's huge, clean, air conditioned and has a variety of different foods to pick from. Parking is in the back. It's two hours free with validation. Some of the eateries are Mangiamo Gelato, Serg's Mexican, Soul Chicken, Sadie's BBQ, Ninja Sushi, Ms. Nguyen, King Thai Cuisine, Middle Eats, Sakurajima, Feast, Boba-Bing, Aloha Sugarcane Juice and Bar. I've already tried some of these places at their other locations. For dinner at Midtown Eats we decided to go with Soul Chicken and Mangiamo Gelato. They were both delicious. Mangiamo is one of the best gelatos around. Both places only took digital payments. You could order at their counter or at one of their self ordering kiosks.

    New Food Hall in Honolulu, Hawaii... Midtown Eats was in their Soft Opening phase when I visited with some friends. We didn't know where to park, so we found metered street parking which was free on a Sunday. Located on the Ground Level of The Park on Ke'eaumoku, I really liked the clean spaciousness, lighting, convenient restroom, shared seating areas, and air-conditioning. Some walkways had ramps for customers, strollers, wheelchairs, and service animals. We entered from the Liona Street side where Mangiamo Gelato is. The Rycroft Street end features a bar. Alcohol is limited to that area of the Food Hall. In the middle, there was a good variety of Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, and Japanese cuisine. The up and running vendors included: Soul Chicken Sadie's BBQ Serg's Mexican King Thai Cuisine Sugarcane Juice Ms. Nguyen Ninja Sushi I'm looking forward to returning! The staff were all friendly and welcoming!

    Coming soon...

    The Park on Ke'eaumoku... As many of the condominium along Ke'eaumoku take form this one particular on the corner of Lions and Ke'eaumoku call The Park which you can obviously see a lovely park and playground area has also a huge food court as well which is called Midtown Eats. A very cool concept in an area with little restaurants is a very welcome addition along with lots of seating and the various restaurants they have gives you lots of options without picking one type for the group this was my first visit and was impressed with the layout with seatings both indoors and outdoors along with a full bar. Give this newbie a look and support these cool local small biz that does give their all as some does offer free samples to try I think it's a great gathering place for all. Thank you!

It quickly became uncomfortable. When picking up our first order (2 platters, 2 drinks), the same employee asked if I could carry everything. I said I'd try, but instead of giving me the drinks, he handed me only the 2 platters and angrily sighed before setting the drinks back down.

My boyfriend calmly tried to address it, but the employee refused, completely ignored him, and continued glaring at us as we left. Other customers also expressed how rudely treated they were at this location. We spent nearly $100 to be treated with hostility. Completely unacceptable.

And on one of my last walk in Waikiki, I got on of his hotdogs. John and his staff were incredibly welcoming. He's originally from Philly, and as someone from the East Coast, I immediately felt that warm hospitality. John is so sweet, he even offered me the hot dog on the house... completely unexpected, but a true reflection of John's demeanor. I went with the chicken hot dog "John style" (well that is everything but the sauerkraut). I wasn't hesitate about the mustard because I'm usually not a fan but the staff insisted it was more like Dijon mustard anyways. The hotdog was loaded, flavorful, and way better than I expected for someone who usually keeps it simple with the toppings. The bun broke down a bit from all the toppings, but that was to be expected with all the toppings loaded on there. You can't beat the location, it's right outside the Ilikai by the lagoon though the service alone makes this an easy five stars. I'm really happy this ended up being one of my last food experiences living in Hawaii. I'd be eager to see John and his staff again if I return.

Consider considered me and my friends were very satisfied when we left. The lemonade is the most refreshing drink ever. It's not too sweet or bitter, but it's the perfect amount of lemon and sugar to not be too overbearing. The pineapple relish on the hotdog was the cherry on top and I'm so glad the owner suggested it. He was so kind and such a cool guy and my friends and I are already planning to come back before our trip is over.

We knew we were only going to get one hotdog just to try it out. When we were ready to put in our order, I placed it in with the male worker. As I was saying my order to the worker, my boyfriend had walked away to the side to wait for me. When I finished putting in my order, the worker had asked me if it would have been just one or two hotdogs. I answered him by saying yes just one. Which he then responded by saying, "what, would he rather have a pho?" Clearly seeing my boyfriend was Asian, that was his question for us just getting one hotdog. He said it as if it was funny. I left it alone and waited for the order. I just don't get the point of him having to say that. He didn't even pronounce "pho" right either, he pronounced it as "foe." As for the hotdog itself, it is good. It is on the pricier side of $11 for one but for the price you get with the bun, polish sausage and toppings, it made it for it. Lower stars because of the overall impression.

I did like the strung lights shaped like a big top tent at kewalo and some of the staging. But the variety of food, vendors and entertainment in kakaako is just exponentially larger. You have to recognize the progression of restaurant in Hawaii to appreciate it. This is where they start. Da spot for instance was a food truck, opened a restaurant near university after success and now is opening a second location at AMC. So support food stand and food trucks, they might be your next fine dining experience in the future. This is the place to do it. It has a very pincnic atmosphere, live music, drinking section, etc. you can appreciate it all. My latest fav is Istanbul Turkish cuisine. They have plans to open a brick and mortar place in Chinatown. The food they produce is really tasty. I'd love to see the stuff they make in a full restaurant. Come out, support, if you wish there were more of (fill in blank) types a restaurant, this is a good place to find a food truck and help them make it happen.

    I honestly had no idea about Eat The Street, I was bored and checking events on Yelp as always and…read morewas trying to find something fun to do that obviously had something to do with eating. We decided to spend our "Black Friday" here, event started at 4:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m at Kakaako Park but we ended up showing up at 6:00 pm. We honestly didn't have that huge of an issue finding parking and the event wasn't that crowded, I'm sure it had a lot to do with everyone being at the parade or staying home the sl day after Thanksgiving. I highly recommend you show up early cause eating in the dark is kind of a pain so we had to shine the light on our phones to eat. I ordered my first food at "Mega Load Burger", they had choice of sliders and the infamous pineapple bowl with your choice of shrimp, pork, or kalbI. You can even choose fried rice or macaroni and cheese instead, even though it was dark and I couldn't see my food I really enjoyed the flavor of my garlic and rice, they had chunks of pineapple at bottom which made it a little difficult to eat with a plastic fork, but I appreciate they didn't waste it. My boyfriend ordered what we thought was an elote or Mexican corn from "The Corn Project" it was very good but the corn was so small, was a bit expensive for $6. We finally decided to get drinks at "ICE HNL" we saw they had bloodbath drinks on Instagram but were out so we ordered the smokin drink love potion instead, which was good made a instagrammable photo. I also checked "Eat The Streets" page and saw Postmate and Aokis shaved ice was giving away free shaved ice! I thought it was a awesome way to give everyone some nice free treats, make sure you tip! As we were leaving I of course saw a table of donuts laid out! Modo donuts was selling mochi donuts for $2 each and I had exactly $4 left so I asked for cookies and cream and my boyfriend got the matcha flavor. I've never had mochi donuts in my life and I'm so upset I didn't buy more! It was so chewy and delicious my boyfriend tried to steal mine and I had to swat him away! Most business accept card but they have an ATM in the park Incase.
