Hawaii Food: Palama Express in Downtown Honolulu

This video features my visit to the Palama Express on Alakea Street in Downtown Honolulu. They have a nice selection of Korean style food, whether it is hot food, kimbap, and cold options. Today, I sampled their Tofu Jun Bento, which surprisingly delicious! It delivered Tofu Patties like you can get at an Okazuya, with grated vegetables and seasoning, fried in a Meat Jun type of batter. It was delicious! I paired that with a Vegetable Kimbap, which was also good quality. No wonder we see a regular stream of customers every day.

I ate lunch at Tidepools in CPB, while sipping on a Venti Iced Coffee from Starbucks.
