North Star Deli

first time coming here after hearing good things about this place, i came in at about 11:15-11:30am and it wasn’t busy, so I was glad that there was no wait. I ordered 1 1/2lb of the chicharron and also a plate lunch with pancit & adobo. The chicharron was perfectly crispy with the vinegar sauce poured on or dipped in. I love their chicharron as its skin is crisp to perfection and the meat was juicy and delicious. I also tried their Biko which was just right, not too sweet and was the perfect way to end my meal. The aunties working there were so nice and sweet, made me feel so welcomed. I recommend this place to everyone!

Northstar every time I visit you I feel as though I gain 10 pounds. Its not your fault that you serve such yummy chicarron, longaniza, adobo, guisantes, dinuguan and pinakbet that I can eat endlessly. I feel as though I need to be placed on a restricted amount of visits per month and be fined if I go over my limit. It really sucks that I live right down the street from where you are. I am so sure my cholesterol jumps astronomical proportions after each meal here. But life is short (probably even shorter after eating this food over time)and you shouldn't go without yummy food for long. This place is also my go to, to get Chicarron to make other Filipino dishes. You can get a pound for about nine dollars. All dishes here seem to also be made fresh daily and served up in crockpots on the service counter. My only complaint about this joint is that the parking situation really sucks. Getting into the spots are easy, on your way out, you get to back out into loads of oncoming traffic on N. King street. People are really douchy and you will have to wait for that rare nice person to let you out. If you're in the Kalihi area and are looking for a really yummy place for lunch come to Northstar. You may pack on so many calories for lunch that you may not need dinner.
