Boba Bing is the newest vendor at Midtown Eats inside The Park on Keʻeaumoku — and it's one of the most creative food concepts to open in Honolulu this year. Their signature item is the OnoWaffie: a fish-shaped waffle made with sweet potato dough from scratch, coated in toasted macadamia nuts, and stuffed with fillings that range from house-made vanilla custard to kimchi fried rice with smoked pork belly.
Boba Bing is owned by Eddie Kim, who also owns The Crouching Lion — the iconic restaurant on Kamehameha Highway in Kaʻaʻawa that reopened in 2024 after being closed for over a decade. The Crouching Lion is known for its modern Hawaiian cuisine, robata grill, and oceanfront setting on the windward coast. Boba Bing is Kim's second concept, and some of the recipes — including the kimchi fried rice — come directly from The Crouching Lion's kitchen.
