A new dumpling counter has slipped into the second floor of Discovery Bay Center, serving up Northern Chinese-style dumplings, a DIY ramen setup and a shave-ice station right in the thick of Waikīkī. Waikīkī Snack Store is clearly geared for fast orders and suitcase-friendly takeout, with both made-to-order plates and frozen heat-and-serve packs ready to go. The counter runs daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it an easy detour whether you are shaking off sand from the beach or wandering back from an evening stroll along Kalākaua Avenue.
According to Aloha State Daily, Waikīkī Snack Store soft-opened upstairs at Discovery Bay Center with a menu built around handmade dumplings and Northern Chinese small plates. Most dumpling orders are listed as 20-piece servings at $15.99, with specialty 20-piece options including shrimp-and-corn at $18.99 and a signature abalone - sea cucumber - shrimp mix at $23.99. The report also highlights wontons in bone soup, pork knuckle and beef shank, plus a DIY ramen station, a shave-ice counter and frozen heat-and-serve dumplings. A grand-opening promo offers buy four frozen sets, get one free through March 1, and Discovery Bay Center provides the first two hours of customer parking free.
Waikīkī Snack Store confirms the address and hours and shows a fuller dine-in menu that lists several dumplings by the dozen. Per the business listing, the counter sits at 1778 Ala Moana Blvd., suite UL-07, and customers can reach the shop at (808) 818-3777. The online menu also notes grab-and-go options such as fried leek dumplings and shrimp-abalone bowls.
