At SixtyTwo MarcKet, they specialize in serving up only the freshest culinary creations made using in-season ingredients. A true Wailuku favorite, their menu rotates every 62 days as a result, keeping every visit feeling fresh and new. Then, they go above and beyond that mission to operate a market as well, where you can get phenomenal local fare for home.
No matter what season you visit, you’re sure to have your pick of eclectic breakfast and lunch dishes. Their offerings range from Cannoli Pancakes and Short Rib Hash to Fried Chicken and Wonton Mein. Their Soup of the Day is the best way to get a taste of all the in-season ingredients on tap, although you never truly know what you’re going to get when you drop by. Only their beverage menu stays the same, always offering you freshly brewed coffee, tropical kombucha, tea, juice, and more.
To further support local farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and specialty food artisans, the kitchen also acts as a market year-round. The chefs kick off their selection of goods by making their very own sauces, rubs, and spices to sell. Then, they invest in a rotating inventory of additional items from artisans all over the island. Their market goods change out just as often as their menu items, so you’re always sure to find something new and exciting on their shelves.
In running every aspect of their innovative business, they exude a bright aloha spirit, too. With that move, their efforts go a long way in making you feel like an integral part to their big, happy family. Furthermore, the low-key ambiance inside their eatery has a homey feel, making it a great place to kick back and relax between all your island adventures.
Their most decadent fare includes:
Chef Larry’s Famous Crepes
Whether you love them sweet, savory, or both, Chef Larry’s Famous Crepes promise to start your day off right. You’ll need to dig deep to choose between the available flavors, like Butterscotch Banana and Chicken, Tomato, and Basil. Simply cannot choose? Treat yourself to both, saving the sweet for dessert after grubbing on the savory fare.
Ahi and Avo “Toast”
Built for sharing, the Ahi and Avo “Toast” always serves as a great way to whet your appetite. This appetizer begins with fresh ahi seared to perfection and placed on a baguette smothered in local avocado cream. Then, they take it to the next level with lemon zest, chili oil, and fleur de sel.
“Popcorn” Chicken
Anything but ordinary, the “Popcorn” Chicken promises to take you on a flavor journey, unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. They create this dish by coating their chicken bites in a seasoned breading and then frying it until golden brown. While that cooks, they create a corn bubble waffle plus a browned butter furikake sauce. At the end, it all comes together beautifully, giving you all the best flavors in every bite.
While their desserts change with the seasons, too, you can always count on them leaving you wholly impressed from the very first bite. Their decadent creations range from Banana Lumpia to Almond Cake, beautifully highlighting the best fresh, local flavors. They even go all out to create vegan, gluten-free fare, like their incredible Chocolate Tart. So, definitely do all you can to save room in your belly – or risk missing out on the finest desserts around.
