Foodie Finds: More Eateries To Discover at Ward Village
(Sponsored) There’s a growing list of globally inspired eateries to enjoy throughout the neighborhood’s three distinct districts.
Ward Village is ever-evolving, and so too is its variety of restaurants found in the East Village, Kamake‘e Corridor and West Village, the three districts that make up this vibrant neighborhood. Here are just a few more foodie finds coming soon to our community of global flavors.

Foodies will delight in Fat Cheeks Hawai‘i’s mouth-watering lobster rolls in a new space in East Village’s Ward Centre. The East Coast-inspired menu features other seafood specialties like Clam Chowder, as well as simple but fitting sides like potato salad and chips, perfect for a picnic. The co-founders, a husband and wife team, both previously worked at Michelin-star restaurants in New York City and dreamed of having their own restaurant here in Hawai‘i.
Fat Cheeks Hawai‘i is scheduled to open this summer in Ward Centre by Roger Dunn Golf Hawai‘i.

Mornings are sure to get sweeter once Island Brew Coffeehouse opens in Kamake‘e Corridor. Guests can expect an array of award-winning 100% Hawaiian coffee, including Rusty’s Hawaiian signature beans like Ka‘u, Kona and Maui Mokka Peaberry. The food menu focuses on local and organic ingredients and includes breakfast and lunch favorites, offered all day, like acai bowls, smoothies, sandwiches and so much more. In true cafe style, you can enjoy your beverage of choice on-site in a ceramic mug or glassware, or opt to take it to-go in a compostable cup.
Later this year, Island Brew Coffeehouse will open at Anaha Shops near the chic boutique We Are Iconic.

An authentic taqueria experience is on the horizon, as Taqueria El Gallo Rosa will soon open in East Village. Here, you’ll find an exciting Mexican menu with fresh ingredients and everything made from scratch. Tortillas are house-made with whole corn imported from the Mexican state of Oaxaca and beans arrive at the restaurant whole, so chefs can soak, cook, and blend them for superior refried beans. Even syrups for margaritas and other cocktails are made with fresh fruit. Chef and co-founder Fausto Garcia was one of the most talented up-and-coming chefs in Mexico, soon sharing his craft with us here in Honolulu.
