Manapua is a filled bun found throughout Hawaii in steamed and baked versions. Char siu is common, but bakeries may offer chicken, curry, sweet bean, coconut, or other fillings. Dough, filling, and daily availability vary enough that a single statewide ranking is less useful than a strong option near the rest of your plans.
Choose the island where you will be staying. The four directories below own Hawaii Guide’s bakery- and restaurant-level recommendations and give you backups without repeating changing menus here.
