Kaneohe Dim Sum Station

It's so nice to get quality and freshly-made dim sum on the Windward side. The generally $6.50 per plate price is worth not having to drive to Chinatown. I have eaten at the location, which has a nice side seating area that is clean and well-maintained. I usually take-out my orders. A great deal is the $13.50 bentos that contains portions for one person. It comes with a canned drink of your choice. I haven't been able to finish the hearty portions in one sitting!Their take out bags are really cute, but I've got so many of them at home already. They appreciated that I brought my own.

My mom's friend says this place is the best which is why I came here. I like that it's an order at the counter type of place which is much quicker than waiting for carts to come around. There are a handful of tables to eat inside but we took our order to eat at home. We ordered har gao, mochi puff with pork, char siu su, and seafood bean curd roll. My mom really liked the har gao, The shrimp was large and had a good shrimp flavor but I thought the shrimp was overcooked and the wrapper too thick.I liked the crust on the char siu su but I wish the filling was more flavorful and had a better texture. I was surprised that the seafood bean curd roll was deep fried. The taste was good but I'm used to them being steamed. The mochi puff with pork was ok. I wish it was crispier but maybe it's because we waited till we got home to eat it. Over all it will get rid of any dim sum cravings but it doesn't compete with the sit down dim sum places in town.

Looking for a place to eat after an excursion in Byodo-In Temple, I Yelped Kaneohe Dim Sum Station. I was kinna surprised that this dim sum is not the traditional dim sum in carts and laid on your lazy susan table. But rather, it is a fast food type of dim sum. I commend them though as they sent dim sum to are table in a fairly quick manner, despite our 9 person party. Shumai and Har Gow were okay. Dad enjoyed his chicken feet. We had some entrees such as Honey Walnut Shrimp, Steamed Chicken and they were good. I also had my fave Deep Fried Shrimp Ball the the taste was off. They were quick to recover and offered us some custard for dessert on the house. Overall, we were satisfied with Kaneohe Dim Sum Station.

When I found out this was opening, I thought it was great because my parents live in Kaneohe and currently do not like traveling far. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially for the elderly, but I dropped off my parents in this loading zone, and parked. Friendly hello when I walked in. We looked over the menu, and one of the workers gave us some post-its and a pen.You order at the counter and they will keep your check open. We ordered the usual: bbq pork bao, shu mai, chive and chicken dumplings, har gao, beef chow funn, and custard tarts. Everything was decent. My parents are old school Chinese, and they weren't thrilled. They also thought the fried dumplings were greasy. We agreed that the custard tarts were really good!I thought everything tasted pretty good, and especially if you don't have to drive over the hill. But I'm not sold on it. It just seems so impersonal without those carts and eating off paper plates. It's a nice dining room and good AC. I'm going to say 3.5 rounded up. Things could change so I'll be back!

Been here my second time after the rush of their initial opening.I am Chinese so my review is due to authentic Chinese dim sum and comparing to the Chinatown counterparts.I ordered the pork hash siu mai and fried turnip. The siu mai was okay. It had good sizable shrimp pieces and was fairly tender and had flavor. The turnip was excellent. There was a bit of a wait but it came out hot and fresh with a crispy outside and tender inside.I think the reason I didn't give it higher stars is the disposable plates and napkins and utensils with the higher prices. $6.50 per plate. I will come back and try one of their noodle dishes and see again. But at least there is a dim sum place on the Windward side that's not too shabby!

Fast food dim sum! When you walk in there is a take-out counter which has the full menu to choose from. You can also choose to dine in and one of the Aunties will escort you to a table and give you the menu. You write down what you'd like to order and the food comes very quickly. Service was amazing. Constantly clearing the table and bringing fresh water, napkins, etc. Once done you can leave the dine in table and pay up front. Restaurant is newly renovated and very cute! You can even draw on or sign the wall! Order:Glass Shrimp Dumpling - 4/5Pork and Shrimp Shu Mai - 4/5Pork Soup Dumpling - 2/5Spring Roll - 2/5Seafood Seaweed Roll - 3/5Bbq char Siu Pastry - 4/5Overall perfect, quick dim sum. Some items lacking in flavor but worth it for the convenience and the yummy items that balance everything out.

Came here to try out this restaurant. There is a dine-in area and a take out area. The dine-in are is very modern and has a cafe-like design. Not your typical dim sum restaurant decor. Another thing different form a regular dim sum restaurant is the plates are all paper. They also make you write down what you want on a sticky note to order instead of just asking you and bringing a cart. I ordered a variety of things to try everything out. I noticed that the prices are a bit more expensive than the dim sum restaurants in chinatown. One of my complaints is that some things took a while to come out (shrimp look fun took about 15min and dial long bao took about 20min). I'm used to dim sum coming out fairly quickly, so this was different for me. Overall, it was okay. I wouldn't say it's the best dim sum I ever had, but it wasn't the worst. The siu mai was a little off for my taste. The shrimp were left whole and there wasn't much pork. As soon as I took a bite of it, it fell apart since there shrimp and pork weren't mixed together well. Overall, not a bad place, but the prices are a little high for me. I will probably drive to Chinatown next time, but this is definitely a place to go if you don't want to drive to town from the Windward side to have some dim sum. Parking: Good amount of parking in the shopping center

This dim sum place is a little bit further of a drive for me but totally worth it. I heard from someone that it was good so I went over the Pali to check it out. Lots and lots of free parking is certainly a bonus for this eatery.It's not like your typical dim sum place with carts wheeling steamed or fried treasures....this one is order and pay at the counter then find a table to sit at.I was a little too anxious to try everything, so waiting on ten different items took awhile. Granted, I went during busy lunch time but that sure did work up my appetite. My $150 order to go, was carefully packaged in sturdy bags. They also included napkins, chopsticks, and a container full of hot mustard and soy sauce. Expensive dim sum? Maybe LOLOnce home, my family enjoyed all ten items. We had shrimp look funn, steamed egg cream bun, pan fried shrimp with chives dumpling, house dumplings, and beef chow funn. All of those were tasty!Here's the top four items that we thoroughly enjoyed the most:* Shrimp dumplings were super big! Outer wrapping was perfectly steamed and wasn't falling apart. Really impressed by the generous shrimp filling.* Pork hash with seafood was also big and tasty. Again, the outer wrapping was perfectly steamed and this was very delicious.* Loved their mochi puff with pork. It was still crisp on the outside by the time I drove home. It wasn't overly oily and the pork filling tasted great. I could eat those once a week LOL* Seafood bean curd roll was also very good. We really enjoyed the flavors and the bean curd wrapping was steamed just right.Okay, so the last item which was alright...just maybe an accidental mix up??? The sticky rice in the lotus leaf was fine but we were expecting abalone in it. The pieces inside the sticky rice seemed more like chicken but I could be mistaken.Will totally return and try it again (and pay more attention). Certainly ordering up our top four choices plus trying other menu items. Great food and friendly service in Kaneohe!

Had lunch with my sister and brother-in-law on the Windward side Kaneohe Dim sum station .Set up us different younorder than go to your table than they deliver the dim sum.I personally prefer at the table or wagons because it's hard to gage what to order lol .So I order 2x of everything and we had a lot of leftovers. My sister came out winner they had leftovers for dinner .Everything was good tasting especially the deep fried shrimp the shrimp inside is huge. I also order their Walnut shrimp plate at $19.50 I thought that was expensive for just a little bit.Other than that the service at the counter was friendly and the dim sum came out very quickly and delivered to our tables .They have a counter for paper plates that you can help yourself along with napkins and utensils. I guess they don't have to wash sides pretty smart . This place mainly have lots of take out customers I seen .At least I got to support them and try it .Support local

Super surprised and happy to have experienced a good dim sum restaurant outside of town. The owner is the same person that owns the huge Chinese restaurant on Alakea street. So, this place has to be good.Everything at this restaurant is self service. No rolling carts. You order at the front, take a seat. Remember to gather your own paper plates and utensils.Food comes out very quickly. We ordered sticky rice, turnip cake, house special dumpling, green onion pancake, shrimp dumpling, shrimp noodle roll and more. Everything was good and fresh. Portions were generous. Servers were no nonsense and that's fine as tipping is done at front end with ordering. My favorite was the shrimp dumpling because it was loaded with cilantro, cucumbers and veggies. The pan fried green scallion bread was chewy, flavorful with so many yummy layers. The sticky rice though was a miss..too much water and mushy texture and I didn't like the large amount of seafood stuffed in the rice. The dried tofu roll was also a little underdone and probably could have been steamed longer. Turnip cake was also too doughy and texture too thick. However, overall a good experience and will come again.
