Hawaii99 Takeout Express

Located in the same parking lot of Times Beretania they are right across the main entrance of Times.The Dry Beef Chow Fun was very good and tasty and the noodles were on the thicker side not really thin like some other places, the beef was tender and good size slices.The portion size of the dish could feed 3 maybe 4.The cold Ginger Chicken was also very good and tasty and the flavor was really good and it wasn't overly salty.The Spring beans were cooked just right not over cooked and the flavor was different, but very good and the pork was sliced and the taste was really good.You can bring in your own BYOB!The restroom are outside of the restaurant and shared by all the business there, sadly in the men's restroom looked like a person was living there with some clothes and a dog bed and a packages of personal belongings scattered all over the bathroom floor. They said the tell the management and custodians, but somehow cannot keep who ever is living in there even with a key system they have to use the restroom.Overall the food is great!

I have supported Hawaii99 Takeout Express tons of times, dine in, take out, family gathering for Birthdays, half of the visits were great but let's me share about my most recent visit. I see the new huge poster out front, every time I stop at the bakery next door, the family meal with 6 items sounds great, reasonable. I decided to make it easy for me with few stops to grab this for Super Bowl Sunday. I called that morning to place my order. There are no photos of the family set on Yelp so Your welcome, if you decide to order this set, Please think twice, it sounds like a great deal but not. I/my family was very disappointed. I picked the 6 items, now keep in mind it says "Family Meal Deal" when you get your items, family - ? don't think it will be enough to feed your family depending on how many is in your family. I got the 6 items for $55.95 and paid $8. for Chow fun. The 6 item choice I picked were : fish filet ( got the wrong order) roast duck, string beans, ginger chicken, sweet sour pork, and chicken wings. What a surprise when I opened up the bag to set up for our Super Bowl spread, they were cute little take out containers like the kind you would use for leftovers at the Chinese restaurant. They weren't even filled to the top. It was little like sample dishes. Wow. also the food did not taste fresh, all the food I got tasted like they were reheated, except for the chicken wings. The chow fun was a regular portion but it was on the oily side. I hope Hawaii99 Take Out Express takes down the huge poster in front, its very misleading and false advertisement. I have another review to write regarding my family dinners, this will be continued- will update. I just want to get this out there in case you want to get the family meal deal. Its really a joke! Luckily we had other foods at the Super Bowl gathering and also ordered pizza last minute. Sorry family, I am pretty much mad at myself, I outsmarted myself again.** see my photo of what they call a "family meal deal" in tips**

Three and a half stars again. Came in last night for I was feeling under the weather and ordered a few items. The items came quickly and the service was wonderful. The inside ambiance was clean and empty for a bit then people started to come in, which was great to see!Won ton min, beef chow fun, and 1/2# char siu. Won ton min was nice and hot. The won ton was decent size with a little piece of shrimp. The min was thin and tasty. The only complaint that I have is the broth. It absolutely tasted like just hot water! There was no chicken flavor or any flavor to it. I added a bit of spice and shoyu but it didn't add to what I was looking for The beef chow fun was tasty enjoy hand a good amount. The chat siu was a tad bit of the dryer side but it was still decent. The flavors aren't too strong and if you have salt issues it's perfect for they don't add a lot. The service is a 5 star and the price is a 5 star. The flavor I'm used to needs a bit more of a punch but I will return for it's so conveniently placed. You can get bread at epi-ya, your groceries at Times, and grab dinner or lunch here!! Conveniently great.

Went to Hawaii99 Takeout Express on a whim just to try it out. got the $9.99 one choice plate with spare ribs the plate was rather small but i guess that was expected for $9.99 at first I thought there were no veggies at all but upon closer inspection there were some shanghai cabbage under the spareribs the taste was just okay nothing special but then again I would have to try them again with some other meats to really get a better feel but there wasn't anything special for this first try, I guess it is okay for the reasonable price for a plate lunch.Parking is okay and parking can be found pretty fast, the help seemed nice although they seem to be working on their roasted Meat window which had no window but I think it is a work in progress. although It was nothing special I am willing to give them another try.

Happened upon staff handing out samples on 11/9/24 in the morning. Super friendly people. Family owned. Have been open about a month by Beretania Times Supermarket. Was so excited to be able to get dim sum so early and so close to home.Had very nice conversations with different staff. Owner, Justin explained how menus work. So nice. The dining room is so neat and clean. They should move the takeout utensils containers and napkins away from the door. One lady scooped up a handful of chopsticks without batting an eye, though the owner handed her enough for her order.Upon check in on Yelp!, you will get a 10% discount coupon to use now or save for later.Onto the food...I am disappointed. Ordered 1/2lb roast pork, and deep fried shrimp dim sum.The roast pork had no flavor. Chicken salt would have helped. (Usually served crispy skin chicken.) C-The deep fried shrimp was wrapped in the wrong kind of wrapper. It was so hard, I could not bite through it. Ate the filling part, which, too, had no flavor. DI had such high hopes for this business. I hope they can survive!

Authentic and tasty Chinese? I am all in- especially when they are not closed between 2-5!!!That means you can enjoy meals during the times when some restaurants are closed! The dishes smelled, looked, and tasted great!

Bit into chow funn and was disgusted to bite into dried up hard crunchy chow funn. Inedible!! They mixed FRESH chow funn with OLD leftover chow funn. Noodles left out will dry out and turn hard and crunchy. Someone decided to serve this inedible mess. Maybe to save $$. This was about 1:45 pm so I assume leftover from lunch cuz it ain't fresh.The sweet sour pork was OK but strangely the onions were RAW like they just mixed it in. It wasn't even a little cooked.Portion except for yuck funn was small.Cost was $9.99 one choice + $2 for yuck funn. $12+ tax.I called to complain which I rarely do but the language barrier is too much. I THINK her name was Bonnie?Vani?? First it was no big thing, I tell Chefs. But when I continued and said they should replace the yuck funn then she started to be more apologetic. I was the only customer in there initially. A table of Chinese speaking left as I waited. Then a man came in to order a catering dish of chicken mushrooms. 5 minutes later a young couple came in.Gal couldn't recall my order HALF HOUR before in an empty restaurant. I had to remind her the above, then she gets it.Just disappointed of the handling and quality of food. I mean how fresh is the food they serve there? If they're recycling something so low end as chow funn.

We finally tried this new place across from Times mkt. Everything was good and fairly priced. Service is pleasant and lots of parking.

Perplexed at the reviews for this restaurant. 4 and 5 stars but the review don't match...I know better than to just walk in THEN read but my bad. That said, I was getting my hair cut in the same center and I thought I'd just stop in with my friend and check it out.Entering at 12:30 I expected to see a pretty full restaurant. There were two tables occupied, one with eight people the other with four people. We were seated at a table for four which was not comfortable as the chairs were so tightly pushed together there wasn't a quarter inch between them. The burner in the middle of the table was covered because we weren't going to use it. Asked if we wanted tea we nodded, said yes please and water. Tea was brought but no water. A different server came by later and asked if we wanted water and brought it over.Ok, perusing the menu we ordered the pan fried dumplings, egg rolls, beef brisket soup and my friend wanted the Ma Po Tofu stating she wanted hot and spicy. Food arrived and first those dumplings (?) sure looked like Deep Fried GauGee to me. I asked the waitress who suddenly spoke no English and she nodded saying yes, Pan Fried Dumplings. These were the most tasteless GauGee on the island. Same for the Egg Rolls...which came with Sweet & Sour sauce but inside were pieces of shrimp and mush. My Beef Brisket soup came out piping hot and I could not wait to dig into it but to my dismay the broth and brisket was utterly flavorless. Not even salt. Added soy sauce and chili paste and hot mustard just to give it something. Even the brisket was just boiled meat. I asked my friend how her MaPo Tofu was she said "spicy hot and flavorless" adding several shakes of salt. We asked for our check, refused the offer of takeout boxes and left. The only reason I'm giving three stars is the staff is accommodating but the food is not worth a return visit.
