Catered from here for my workplace department meeting. Glad they open early... picked-up before our 10am meeting. The mini-manapuas were perfect (half the size of regular) & also ordered a pan of chow fun & Chinese Chicken salad. These made for a complete meal... and all from Aiea Manapua - so convenient. Beyond manapua... Aiea Manapua is your one stop shop for your next department luncheon.
Treated myself to Aiea Manapua & Snacks today. I have been coming here for over 25 years and my favorites haven't changed since the original owners. The chow funn has lots of cabbage and thick cuts of charsiu. I ordered one order of fried chicken and got 2 huge pieces for $2.79. DELICIOUS . The service is also impeccable, such nice people!!
If I could give them 100 stars, I would!! Came as they were closing. They were still able to give me what I asked for. Their food quality is amazing! Their portions are more than generous. The store front is quaint and to the point. Everything is labeled clearly and they have a very wide variety for such a small shop. I hope small businesses like this gem stay open forever!!
Super shout out to Aiea Manapua for joining my daughter in feeding the homeless. She bought 3 boxes of goodies and he joined in willingly out of the kindness of his heart and gave 2 boxes of goodies because he heard what they were planning. Food was great, ambiance small mom and pops, service was definitely 10000 with a huge heart! Support locals that serve Aloha! This business is definitely one of them!
We've been looking for a good manapua place with vegetarian options for a while. Several we've gone to just don't do it, and we of course want the fluffy bun that we used to get at Libby's. Well folks, Aiea Manapua & Snacks is it. It took us a minute to find the place, but it's nearby the Aiea library. Take the left immediately after the service station. Small inside but plenty of options. We got steamed veggie, veggie gau gee, and white rice cake. Great bun and flavors in the manapua. Gau gee was perfectly crisp. Rice cake was great. Good service. I saw a previous post about price, but I didn't notice any issues here. It's 2024. Things cost a little more, especially good things from shops like this. Will be making the trip any time I'm in the area. You should too.
Always a must stop the day before we head back to the mainland, to put in an order for 1 dozen mini kalua pig manapua for the plane ride home and then some. They don't stock the minis in the case, they need 24 hour notice for them. They will take phone orders for them but we were already in the area so we made a stop and put in our order. They make other flavored fillings for the minis but my girls love the kalua pig. On this short visit my mom was hungry so we picked up a few things to munch on for the car ride back home. 1 Krispy gau gee, 1 pork hash stuffed eggplant, 1 pork hash stuffed mushroom, and 2 regular size kalua pig manapua. My favorites are the pork hash stuffed eggplant and mushroom. Fried in what i believe is a tempura batter. So tasty. Small parking lot that can fit about 10 cars. Can't eat inside, take out only.
Tucked away off of Moanalua Rd so can be a little tricky to find initially. Inside is small but the quick service seems to eliminate lines going out the door. I love their spicy sausage Manapua! Spicy sausage with the slightly sweet bread makes the perfect pairing. Their half moon on the other hand isn't my fave. Kinda skimpy on the filling and too much dough/wrapper. Pork hash is decent. Prices range from about $1.50-$4 for dim sum type snacks, so can get pricey if you're thinking to order a dozen for a party or gathering. Decent amount of parking available.
