The Best Chinese in Honolulu

Ewa Pointe Chinese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (240) • $$

"This place was very good considering I am from the East coast where I missed my authentic Chinese food. Food was almost comparable to what I am use too from Philly Chinatown. We ordered 10 dishes including the specialty seafood soup. All in all it was good, beside the eggplant dishes being too sweet, sizzling beef being chewy, Orange Chicken was made from chicken left over meat from the wings or something (recommend making it from breast meat). Seafood soup was starchy and thick, please have more brothy than starchy.. price overall was good for 8 people. Customer service was good and ambiance was calm.. combo meat Fried Rice78.

Volcano Skewer House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (128) • $$

"Romantic and fun date spot for those who are interested in trying something you can tell your friends about. This restaurant is located near Walmart in town. ADA accessible entrance, though it might be a tight fit. We had the sweetest waitress here, Vicki, who was attentive and went above and beyond for us. At the end of our meal we wanted to order their dessert, but they were out. Vicki found some Melona bars in the freezer that I think were the cook's personal stash and gave them to us with a smile. Thank you Vicki for making our stay special. The skewers here are delicious. You can order the perfect amount to be full without wasting any food. Great for groups who want to try lots of different things. The cucumber salad was a nice balance to all the meats. The only thing we can think of to make this even better, is if iSing (karaoke bar) next door and Volcano Skewer House partnered up :) these skewers would make the perfect karaoke food."

Kin Sun Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (66) • $$

"My husband was craving for roast duck and gau gee so we went ahead and tried this place out for the first time and grabbed some before heading home this evening. First of all, they're doing something right with the roast duck! There's no gamey smell and no gamey taste! Already a winner in my book! I had my kids try it and they thought it was chicken! They loved it!"

Aina Haina Chop Suey

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (284) • $$

"Ate here because Jack's was unexpectedly closed. No prices on menu, so make sure you ask what the prices are. 8 piece siu mai was around $20. Food was okay. For our party of 4, they automatically added 20% gratuity to our bill! And no offer of hot tea, dammit."

Golden City Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (171) • $$

"Stopped here a few times but only for take out. Of all the times I've been there, I've only seen people dining in once. I've picked up at all different times from lunch to dinner hours and they always pick up the phone and usually only take 15-20 minutes no matter how big or small the order is. There is lots of seating indoors but not sure how they would accommodate if they were truly busy as the parking lot only holds so many cars connected to a gas station. But you can't miss it right on the corner. So far so good the food I've ordered has been to my liking. I actually prefer their duck over other places I've tried, it's consistently meaty, tasty and juicy. I do also like their combo plate, it offers such a variety of food for an affordable price. I've also purchased goodies in their display such as seeds or cookies which they sell by the pound at competitive market pricing."

Rakumen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (141) • $$

"Rakumen has been our go-to for take out and we stopped in for dinner tonight as my kids requested ramen for dinner. The restaurant is spacious and for a Sunday evening, it wasn't too busy. Servers are friendly and the food comes to your table quickly. We ordered and enjoyed:Chicken Katsu curry rice Mochiko chicken Gyoza Black Garlic Oil TanTan RamenBlack Garlic Oil Tonkotsu RamenSpicy Beef RamenWe all enjoyed our flavorful dishes! We couldn't finish our meals so we ended up taking home leftovers. Delicious food and good service, I'm a fan! FYI Rakumen offers Free gyoza from 2-5 pm daily with your order."

Overlord Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (137) • $$

"Finally got to try overlord chicken, and it was delicious! Service is great, and if you like mala (numbing) spice, you'll love their noodle/dry pot selection. The chicken is also very tender, breaded lightly, and crispy. The beef noodle soup is delicious and gets spicy if you want it to be, and the veggies & noodles are authentic. The only comment is the beef cuts weren't the best and were more tendony, but if you like that then you will love the beef noodles. Inside has limited seating but it moves pretty quickly. Parking is tougher but you can find some around the neighborhood."

Eastern Paradise Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (241) • $$

"This is quaint restaurant that has a mom and pop feel upon entering their doors. There are a few booths along the wall and several tables in the center of the room. It was my first time eating here, although my husband had been many, many years prior. We ordered the black bean noodles/jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork/tangsiyuk. Both were very flavorful. I don't like most sweet and sour flavored sauces, as I usually feel they're overly sweet or sour. This one was perfect for my tastebuds! I almost wished we ordered a second plate but we just didn't have any room left. The serving size of the noodles is comparable to that you'd get in a fresh ramen bowl (not the instant ones). I'd like to say my appetite is pretty healthy but I was unable to finish my bowl, so I took the rest home (as did my hubby). The lady who served us is likely one of the owners. She was kind and attentive. I do think the water we received tasted weird (probably from tap) but I didn't want to order a $3 soda can so I just dealt with it. It also came in a short cup -- I drink a lot while I eat and I wished they were larger cups so that they wouldn't have to come refill so often. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal."

Water Drop Vegetarian House

★★★★★ 4.5 (203) • $$

"I have eaten here numerous times. The catch is getting there during their limited hours, 11AM to 2PM, M-F. When you walk in, there is a fridge on the right. Get the plum tea/juice. Trust me on this, I always get one. There are other goodies in there, so take a look.You can get a 2, 3 or 4 item plate. I almost always get the 2 item plus soup and add the drink. Noodles or rice are automatically included and don't count as an item. Most people get half rice, half noodles. I get noodles only. The menu changes daily. Eggplant, bean curd, spring rolls, curry, mixed vegetables, etc. They're all good, but I especially like the bean curd and curries. They also have fruit or dessert a lot of times at the register. Tap to pay, or cash.Their is a restroom in the back on the left. And a temple upstairs. Yes, an actual temple for worship. I think the monks help prepare the food and it's all ladies serving. Go try this place, you'll like it. No parking though. You have to park at the post office, on Mililani Street or some other location. See my photos!"

On On Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (217) • $$

"I ordered Beef Broccoli Cake Noodle. The food arrived very quickly. The "cakes" of noodle were small and bite-sized, as were the beef and broccoli. The viscosity of the gravy was excellent, and the cakes of noodle were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was one of the best Cake Noodle I had ever had. And I don't know what those reviewers are talking about when they mention the "mean" owner. She was very friendly with us."

Waimalu Chop Suey

★★★☆☆ 3 (335) • $$

"I gotta give it up for Waimalu Chop Suey, as I feel it's time to update my review of this Chinese restaurant. Yes, I haven't forgotten the cockroach incident, but that's in the past, and when I think about it, I just have to laugh. Lol!So my dad had some friends visiting from the mainland, and one evening I decided to take them out to a Chinese restaurant they haven't tried before - Waimalu Chop Suey.What can I say about Waimalu Chop Suey?It's your basic old school, mom & pop Chinese restaurant. The dated décor of the restaurant is definitely old school with those vinyl booths, and of course they have another section within the restaurant to accommodate larger parties with large tables.After entering the restaurant, we were greeted right away, and menus were dropped off. Upon looking over the menu, I decided to get a fixed menu for (4) people, and added two more dishes to our meal.We ordered the following dishes on the fixed meal -Scallop SoupChinese Chicken SaladTender Beef Sizzling PlatterHoney Walnut ShrimpChicken with AsparagusFried NoodlesDessertAnd the added the two following items -1/2 order Peking Duck with BunsSteamed Fish Fillet with Ginger & Onion SauceWhat can I say about the grub?The food was tasty and the portions were more than generous, but I would say that the star of the meal was that Peking Duck! The Peking Duck was very meaty, and who wouldn't turn down some duck skin in a bun? Lol!After enjoying our meal, there were lots of leftovers to take home afterwards.Service was on point, and our waitress was very friendly. Just an FYI.........if you like Gau Gee, this is the place to check out! Don't bother to order the soft gau gee, order the deep fried crispy gau gee! It's totally worth it, even if you doctor lectures you about eating stuff like that! Lol!"

Kunia Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (387) • $$

"If you're looking for quite possibly the best Chinese family style restaurant on the island, you found it here. Not only is the food, phenomenal with delicious flavor, it was cooked perfectly every single time we've been. Service is excellent- they really do treat you like family. The first time we came here, was actually Christmas night. They were super busy yet welcomed us with open arms and never made us feel like eating out on Christmas was an inconvenience. Wait since been numerous times, and that feeling of welcomeness never subsides. Everything is served family style, with plenty of servings to feed more than a couple of people. You can definitely serve a large family here or even a small office party."

The Mandarin Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (96) • $$

"The lemon chicken was 3 stars, the egg drop soup on a cold and rainy day was very nice and I'd give it 4 stars, and the quick takeout preparation and value being it to 4 stars overall. The chicken was fine but not very flavorful, decent quality chicken. The portions weren't huge but that was fine, it was a bit more than a single serving of chicken, and a small side soup--it's basically one meal, and it costs about what one meal should. It feels expensive, but compared to everything else on Oahu it's a normal meal, and compared to other Chinese takeout it's nice to have the option to not get a ton of food. I tried to order hot and sour soup without pork and they couldn't do that, so that was one downside."

Youpo Noodles HI

★★★★★ 4.5 (24) • $$

"Hand-pulled Chinese noodles that have a great kick (spicy level 1-4) and great flavors at about $17-$19. They started at the Kakaako Farmers Market and now have their own shop in Chinatown! A simple shop with about 6 tables. Friendly gal at the cash register and I could see the guy in the back pulling the noodles so I knew it'd be good. Will be back!"

Grand Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (41)

"New renovations & New owner at the former House of Dragon location in Pearl City.Some of the chefs are the same, and there are new staff so it seems like they're cooking better Chinese Food.Ordered twice Steamed fish with green onion, chow fun with black bean sauce, chicken with black bean sauce and veggies. Was all good!"

Lucky Box Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (118) • $$

"2nd time within 2 weeks lol . This time I wanted to try their shrimp toast along with their garlic chicken plate . The garlic chicken was good tasting plus they give a lot not too much over bearing with the garlic sauce . The shrimp toast was very interesting nice and crispy and nice amount of shrimp a little salty but it was ok Support them if your in the area"

Asia Manoa Chinese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (266) • $$

"Lunch in Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii...Because it was Veterans Day holiday, I asked some friends if they wanted to go to lunch - sure!Asia Manoa Chinese Restaurant has been here a while, but none of us had written a review! With free parking and a convenient restroom, why haven't we been here before?We went at opening time (10:30am) and had no trouble with getting a table without a reservation. Luckily, we beat a large party that took two tables! Deborah got the Daily Dinner Special Plate and I got the Daily Lunch Special Plate. The main difference was that Deborah's plate included fried rice and chicken. My plate had white rice, beef vegetable noodles, sweet sour spare ribs, and fried won tons. I liked it! Some of everything!I think I'll be back in the future... like if someone comes to town and we need a place for a gathering... let me know if you want to join! =)"

Dew Drop Inn

★★★★☆ 4.1 (578) • $$

"Dew Drop Inn is a charming, hole in the wall place offering delicious northern Chinese food. We drive past this all the time and finally decided to take the chance last night. Food/Drink: BYOB a plus. 4.5/5All dishes were delicious! We ordered:+Shanghai Pork Meat Buns ($24.95) - this was a large portion and great to share with table. Similar to Manapua - but this is crispy on the outside and filled with juicy pork inside. Served with the a side of black vinegar sauce. A must! +Orange Beef ($18.95) - this was my favorite dish of the night. Perfectly crispy pieces of fried beef, covered in the most authentic orange sauce. Puts Panda Express to shame! +Crispy Roast Duck - Half ($23.95) - Flavorful and juicy - but not as crispy as I thought. Served with hoisin sauce. Delicious. +2 Bowls of white rice ($2 each) Always need rice to accompany meat dishes! Value:For the large portions and high quality, It was sure worth it! We did have some leftovers, which he boxed for us with a side of black vinegar sauce. Service:Not only was the food amazing, but the service was equally as good. What sets this place apart from most Chinese restaurants is the service! Only one young friendly male server working the front as taking orders, delivering dishes, and tending to all customers. He was attentive throughout our dinner and checked in on us appropriately. Wait:It was very busy with mostly locals dining, but surprisingly we only waited about 15 minutes for a table. I'd call and make reservations if you planned to come in a larger group. Lots of takeout orders as well. Location/Parking: The con: location! There's a very small lot located in the right side, with only a few spots and mostly street parking. None were available, so we had to park a few streets over and walk. Very busy street. We would definitely come back again in the future!"

Kent's Drive Inn

★★★★☆ 4.3 (68) • $

"I heard Kent's has one of the best cheeseburgers, so I had to stop by while grabbing some baked manapua next door. I come here expecting comfort food style - small, simple, homemade, no frills, meaty cheesy goodness burger, and that's just what I got! I am comparing it to what I usually get at select L&L's or Loco Moco's (I have my favorite locations when it comes to burgers, and many are hit and miss). If I had to describe it it is very similar to Jolly Bee's Cheesy Yum Burger with a larger patty. Very good but not with the journey to China Town alone.I have also tried their Chinese food and it's pretty good. The service is awesome (nice people) and the prices are very affordable, just be aware it is cash only!"

Mei Mei Chinese BBQ

★★★★★ 4.5 (86) • $

"I am a true fan of Mei Mei Chinese BBQ, I usually stick to my favorite places out west side but after visits to Mei Mei, this is my new addiction. Thank you to Paul C. ( mayor of Chinatown) hehe. His social media post and reviews made curious to try and now LOVED the meats @ Mei Mei so much! Since location is out of the way for me, I try to make a stop here every time I am in the area, or if I am off for an appointment for my roasted meats fixed. They also close at 3 pm and sell out at certain times. Few times I was too late and they are out roast pork/duck & even the lunch specials, I have to remember to call ahead to place my order next time. Not only the lunch meats are OMG, super good, the prices! Wow, way cheaper than at my usual places that I go to. Lets talk about the $7. lunch special, that is a super great deal, comes with either fried rice or white rice, choy sum, shoyu chicken and either roast pork or char siu. Can't beat that! The roasted meat lunch plates ( one choice) @$10. mini, $14.00 for regular. I recommend getting the regular plate for just $4. more. I picked up the lunch special and treated my coworkers during the school break and they really enjoyed it. One of my coworker mentioned it is such a treat, since she normally doesn't get to eat this type of food. I recently brought a roast pork plate for my brother and he text me, asking about the roast pork, " The roast pork was delicious, where you get it?" The very first time my husband tried the roasted meat plates I brought for our dinner, shoyu chicken, roast duck, and roast pork. He even asked where is this from, its really good! Wow. I love all the compliments and brownie points! hehe. Lets talk about the roast pork, when I first took a bite of that roast pork, I fell in love. WOW. It was the perfect roast pork, crispiness, fat to meat racial and the right amount of salt. I really need rice, along with my chili pepper and pickled veggies. Perfect combination! The duck is nice and juicy, but I just don't like their duck sauce. The char siu is tender and I love that it is not too sweet, bonus if I get the burnt ends. I love when there are leftovers roasted meats, I cook jook with it or freeze them to cook later. Mei Mei is a Gem here at Maunakea Marketplace, it is tucked behind the shops in front, look for the hanging ducks and the long line. Junk part is having to find parking but trust me it is so worth it! Kudos to the husband and wife team, who works works very hard! I totally recommend this hole in the wall. five stars! Recommend. I can't wait for my next roast meat fix which will be next week!"

Kapolei Chinese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (418) • $$

"Delicious and filling "Wor Won Ton Mein" . Always clean and friendly service. My food is always hot, delicious and very consistent. The broth is served perfectly hot and savory. The Wor Won Ton are always just "5" pieces and very filling. The Chinese Yellow Mustard is the perfect condiment for this iconic dish. The staff are very friendly and always helpful. The entire restaurant is very clean, the tables are covered with a white cloth and plastic table top cover. The food is very consistent."

Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle

★★★★☆ 4.1 (182) • $$

"Hot pot that won't break the bank.Friendly servers that check on you throughout your meal.I was sitting on a massage chair n the mall across from Satellite City hall branch when I noticed the restaurant. I recognized their name from Yelp. Hubs was picking me up but I told him to park by Ross.I decided to take a fast look at Yelp reviews and read Nadine C and Jackie K's reviews. Okay let's try this place for lunch. We entered shortly after their 11 am opening with only one other table occupied but slowly the restaurant filled up and there was a line waiting to enter by the time we left.The Lady who brings out the black cauldron looking bowls of broth warns you not to touch the hot edges. The younger employee shared the order to place the ingredients to the hot pot which no longer simmered.I asked for recommendations for the entree and the drink. We went with Amber's suggestion of the first item on the menu, original with fatty beef and the plum juice. Both good suggestions.It reminded me of the milky colored Fukuoka pork bone soup, mild to me, but hubs liked it. I will try another spicier item next time.The fatty beef was the best of the included ingredients. The drink was refreshing.I'm writing this review waiting for hubs to finish since he ate most of my noodles that was brought out so I decided to put in an order for brown sugar with tapioca pearls soufflé to round off our meal. Larger than our typical lunch quantity.Oh boy after we visit my dad since today is his birthday, we'll be ready for a siesta."

Far East Sushi & Seafood Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (51)

"Takeout lunch in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii...I actually wanted to patronize Korea Foody at Waipahu Shopping Plaza, but they were closed for vacation. Luckily, Far East Sushi & Seafood Restaurant was right next door. When I walked into the empty restaurant, I was a bit worried, but I read Gabriel P.'s review and I felt better. At least I knew someone who had been here before!The interior is very spacious and clean! I really liked the cute decor: especially the hanging lobsters and the colorful upside-down umbrellas... suspended above... The cashier pointed out the takeout menu a coupleoftimes, but I continued to take photos of the extensive menu. I finally decided to get Lunch Plate B: fried rice, gau gee, pot roast pork, sweet sour spare ribs, shrimp canton (2 pieces), fried wonton (3 pieces), and beef with vegetables. It was really filling!I'm glad that the fried items were placed separately in a brown paper bag to prevent mushiness. I don't really like deep-fried food, so these were "just ok" to me. The pot roast pork was bright red (old school style) and on the tough (hard) side.The sweet sour spare ribs were surprisingly tender and tasty!The fried rice was on the bland side.The beef with vegetables was my favorite. I guess I would return to try the sushi items."

Golden River Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (92) • $$

"I'm addicted to their beef stew with (fragrant) rice. It is different then local beef stew so please understand the difference! The pieces of meat is not chunks of beef, but more beef pieces and tendon. The broth is so tasty!! Especially with their flavorful rice."

Chong Qing Hot Pot

★★★★☆ 4.4 (255) • $$$

"Personally this is my favorite hotpot location.They tend to be quite busy the past couple of times I have visited to keep that in mind. I tried to call ahead of time to ask to put my name down but they said we had to come in to sign into the waitlist. When we got here we were given an estimate of 15-30 minutes. However, less than 5 minutes later we were seated.Very pleased with the experience. With such a large restaurant they're bound to small details such as your water, but if you ask they're quick to fill it right up. When we ordered we made an accidental mistake for one of the broths and we asked politely to change it and they happily obliged with no problem.The process is straightforward, when you are seated you're given a piece of paper where you will order with (including the broths). You get 3 rounds. Under each round you can put the quantity of that item. Don't be shy when you put the quantity of the meats down, the images I have included was orders of 4 and then 6 (of each meat in separate rounds) it looked like the exact same to be honest. Self Serve Station:This is where you can get your sauces designed to what you desire. They also have small sides such as various fruits (ex: pineapple, cantaloupe), seaweed salad, peanuts, shrimp chips, and mini fried mandoos (last time it was sesame balls) (with condensed milk). Ordered:I got the spicy marrow broth. It is my go-to and super flavorful. - Supreme Beef: Delicious, MUST order- Beef Short Plate: A bit on the gamey side compared to the supreme beef, we almost mistook it as the lamb. Personally a bit too fatty for me as well. Would order just smaller quantity- Supreme Lamb Shoulder Plate: Also gamey as expected but it was perfect and expected if you enjoy the lamb flavor.I tried many things but the must orders beyond the meats for me are: - Shrimp paste with roe- Fish ball with roe- Wood ear mushroomsI would really recommend to not be shy when ordering and try what you'd like as you have only 3 rounds to order and the quality of each order is very small (eg: 1 order of shrimp paste is like 1-2 singular shrimp paste ball)."

No. 1 Chinese & BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (85) • $

"Great selection & PricesThis restaurant has a great selection of foodAnd their prices are the best compared to all the other take out places I the area.They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner.It's mostly a walk-in or phone in and takeoutSpot that is favored by locals.Awesome menu from burgers, fries , shrimp burgers to plate lunches like Teri beef , curry, chicken katsu ,!shrimp, mahi and more .I normally go here about 3 times a week And love their ready to order breakfast plates deep fried calamari, burgers ,Teri beef sandwiches and plates and chicken katsu .Their Lunch ready made menu offers choice of noodles, rice , spare ribs ,eggplant, bbq chicken, egg fuyung , beef broccoli , char siu and more .They also cater for small to large groups ."

Red Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (27)

"Happy National Dumpling Day!I really wanted won ton min, but Red Cafe ran out of dumplings. They had just opened at 7pm. Shucks. That means they hadn't replenished their supply from yesterday or before?Backtracking...We parked in the free designated stalls in front of the restaurant and waited for 7pm.A man casually walked up to the locked entrance a few minutes after 7pm and opened the door. No greeting. No welcoming words. No menu. No glass of water. Nothing. We let ourselves in and sat ourselves down. I needed to use the restroom, so I wandered around. The first room was a bar. I asked the bartender if I could use the restroom... Okay...I passed by a set of stairs that looked spooky. I hurried along the hallway and used the restroom that had no air conditioning. It was stuffy and a bit yucky - like basic, but the wash basins were beautiful ceramic! One had fish painted on it, and the other one had a bird painting. I should have taken photos. When I got back to our table, glasses of water and menus were there. The bartender came to take our order. He returned to our table and suggested that I get Braised beef noodle soup after I had ordered wonton min. Alright. When the Braised beef noodle soup arrived, I was disappointed that there was so much chewy tendon and not much beef. I ate all of the thin noodles and some of the dark chicken broth. Oh, well... I was afraid to order the clay pot items because they sounded spicy.I don't think I will return. I had called numerous times, but the answering machine was full. I called later one night, and a woman answered. She said they open at 7pm even though the street sign advertises a 6pm opening time. She said that I wouldn't need a reservation to dine there. Hmm..."

Dowon Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (201) • $$

"Looking for Korean comfort food cooked Chinese style? Check out Dowon Chinese Restaurant located on Pi'ikoi behind Teapresso. They only have one door in the rear of the building along with their parking stalls in the back. Seating is a bit smaller than other Chinese joints, but is a worth while option to hit up. Optional parking is also close by and a short walk to and from, and also street parking if you can find one of the few nearby. Inside is nice and tidy with red booth tables, and a few table with chairs. Service is welcoming and friendly, and are intent of serving you their form of aloha.I'm mainly giving the 5-stars off of their version of Sweet 'n Sour Pork or Tangsuyuk. Mini pieces of pork, lightly battered then deep fried and then paired with stir-fried veggies with a sweet 'n sour sauce to either go on top or on the side. Personally, I like the sauce on the side. I will say this place does the fried pork part the best than other spots I've tasted like Eastern Paradise, and On Dong just to name a few. Though I truly feel Dowon has this dish down the best. Every piece is about the same size, battered and cooked evenly and taste pretty good without the sweet 'n sour sauce. To me, that says a lot if you can eat something without the other part of the dish, but equally ono together. The other dishes are about the same as the other spots, but you must have the Tangsuyuj if you do come here. Till my next pig-out, Grind On, Pau!"

Island Manapua Factory

★★★★☆ 3.7 (130) • $

"I didn't take picture because once I got to San Francisco my coworkers ate the whole box :(This place got the best pork hash I have ever had in my life & the Manapua was also great. I am so glad to have found this place thanks to my friend and will be back!"

Yen Yen Chinese Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (150) • $$

"I was actually surprised the food here was really good. I didn't even take photos. Their sizzling pork chops woth sweet and sour sauce was delicious! Also tried steamed pork hash for the first time which was also good. Everything was flavorful and had it's own unique taste. Not the fastest chinese restaurant but the tast and quality definitely make it worth the wait. They have awesome service. Like overall great service, not just chinese restaurant good service - if you know what I mean. Place was clean but their chairs are a bit odd and uncomfortable."

Chun Wah Kam Noodle Factory

★★★★☆ 3.5 (194) • $

"Well, what can you say about Chun Wa Kam that hasn't been said before? Everyone knows there's no parking. Unless you get lucky. But the service is fast and super friendly. Quality pork hash and manapua. Always a good choice!"

Temple Valley's Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (66) • $

"Still one of my favorite places to pick up Char Siu and Roast Pork on the island. Better than Chinatown in my book as the meat is quality, tender and seasoned perfectly... Today, I was in the area early. The Char Siu is always good, but I didn't realize it was even better at 10am! So juicy!! Their meats are definitely worth the trek to Kahaluu!"

Kin Sing Chinese Fast Food

★★★★☆ 3.7 (155) • $$

"I'll keep this review short and simple. This place is kinda pricey but well worth every penny spent. You gotta watch out though when you start ordering. The person helping you is gonna try to sell you more dishes and next thing you know you're going home with 8 dishes instead of the mindset of 5 going in. Lol. It happened to me twice but like I said it's well worth every money spent. They don't only sell Chinese food. They sell some Filipino dishes too. Those were good too. So if you're craving Chinese food and want to splurge a little. Go straight to kin sing Chinese fast food. I'll even take that extra 15 minute drive to Waipahu just to make sure I'm guaranteeing good food. Trust me you'll thank me later."

Chun Wah Kam

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (525) • $$

"Mana oh man! I haven't gone to Chun Wah Kam in years! We were hungry after walking around the swap meet and I really wanted some Mana Pua. We stopped at Chun Wah Kam on the way home. They only had steamed Char siu Mana pua left and a handful of flavors of the minis. So I ordered 4 regular steamd plus a few sweet potato and kalu pig minis too. Had to also add in a bunch of pork hash and gau gee too! Although everything by the each is decent in price, it can add up pretty quickly when buying for multiple people and ordering when you're really hungry! Lol.Service is super fast and friendly, and very helpful.Most people just come here to take food out, but there are a few tables available to dine in too. Next time I come, I need to remember to add some steamed rice cake to my order."

Au's Garden Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (210) • $$

"The first time I've visited Au's Garden Chinese Restaurant was to celebrate the birthday of a friend. They were easy to find and I was able to secure a large parking spot right in front of the restaurant. They do share parking with all the other businesses in the complex so it can get full during the lunch and dinner rush. The restaurant is larger than expected with lots of tables to accommodate small to large parties. To our surprise, the restaurant was mostly full on a regular weeknight. We ordered a feast and tried a lot of different dishes. Our order came out extremely fast and all the dishes all came out one after the other. This isn't typically the case which shocked all of us. It's a good surprise as we got to try everything at once versus one plate at a time. Service was better than expected as the staff kept coming around to refill water and hot tea. The food was good but the company was better. It was a great night to celebrate a friend and a positive first experience dining here."
