I agree. I loved their baked kalua pig manapua.  I bought some a couple of years ago and the quality has gone down.

Haven't tried #1,2, and #4 yet but I'm sure their manapua is great.

I like baked and fried manapua over the steamed ones.  Every once in a while I'll take my wife early in the morning to Honolulu Kitchen before I drop her off to work so she can pick up manapua and other goodies for her working place.

And while she's at it she will order manapua for ourselves :shaka:

I liked Lee's that was right near you decades ago when Kaneohe was still a small town. But I miss Libbys manapua.

My wife has CATS!
I usually name them.
One of my favorites was Manapua( a Siamese).
My present cats are Mu shu and Humbao.
In all my years, my favorite cat was Stirfry.
I don't eat my cats, but I'd like to think I have
a sick sense of humor.

My current favs are:
Island Maunapua
Chun Wah Kam
Honolulu Kitchen
7-11 (pretty good, especially if it's late at night... and the pork hash is good too)

Chun Wah Kam - Baked is my fave.  I don't care for the steamed.  I like their pork hash and gau gee more. 

From time to time I like the chicken mushroom or chicken curry ones.

Coworkers used to being from that Aiea Snack place.  I didn't care for that place.  The filling often had some "interesting" things. 

I miss the Mai tai soo from Char Hung Sut.
