Oahu Noodle Factory

Homemade Asian noodle dishes are amazing, especially since you can control the ingredients, spices, and additives! But it starts with freshly made noodles readily available to buy by pound at Oahu Noodle Factory in Kalihi.This salmon-pink building puts out a plethora of assorted noodles that are listed in the doorway (with a pictorial if you need) such as: Chow Mein, Pancit, Saimin, Chow Fun, along with quite an assortment of wraps.Peek your head in, and you see a light dusting of rice flour on the floor. You're quickly met by someone to take your order (use the job aid at the front; I use my hands to show them approximately how much I want). They disappear and return with a bag(s) of your noodles.Parking is on the side of the building (driveway of the former BOH building), and probably best to carry cash (it is still king)!

I've been coming here for so many years to buy pancit miki for my family. Last time I came here was probably when Bank of Hawaii was open right next door, I'm not a Bankoh customer, but before they closed, customers like me would park there if the security guard wasnt working. Now the parking is even trickier because you'd have to swing curbside to grab your noodles, or if there's other cars like this afternoon, I parked on a side street a block away. The lady whose been working here for years isn't the friendliest, but she gets all the orders you need in the right amounts really quickly. She was nice enough to give me a box, and I had to a ask her nicely to borrow her hand cart. As thier business is a noodle factory, don't expect customer service as they're not a noodle restaurant.

This is my go to place for all types of noodles: chow mein, chow fun, pancit bihon, you name it! This is also my go to place for won ton wraps! Made fresh daily and very affordable. The commercially made store bought noodles and wraps don't compare to Oahu Noodle Factory. Their quality of their noodles and wraps are so much better, tastier. The pre-packaged store bought wraps are thin; theirs are thick and won't break for fall apart when you fry them.Parking: They have no parking. There is street parking in front, but only 1-2 cars maximum for quick loading. I only come here on weekends since Bank of Hawaii next door is closed on weekends and people tend to park there to pick up. Otherwise, there is street parking across the street heading east.

This is my new go-to place for buying dumplings wrappers and noodles. Great customer service and variety of noodles. Hard to find parking but owner said it was ok to temporarily park in front of the store.

Good selection of noodle products. Have tried the HK Saimin, HK chow Mein, thick saimin and mundoo pi. Made cake noodles with the saimin. Came out good but would have been better with regular saimin. The chow Mein was ono. Precooked so you just have to wok some stuff and mix in the noodles. The mundoo pi is a little thick for me, but it is good for frying. I like to eat mundoo in soup.

This Oahu Noodle Factory has been at this location, along King Street, before Gulick St, for decades! I remember coming here with my grandfather 25 years ago once, and that might've been the last time.This noodle factory isn't convenient at all. There's no parking lot nearby, no parking in front of the store, limited meter stalls nearby, and the store is by itself with nothing else around it. However, the Bank of Hawaii parking lot is right next to it. I don't feel they're sticklers on parking there, but I suppose it'll be okay if you're quick, which you should be.I normally go to Yat Tung Chow in Chinatown because it's convenient and located to other stores I need to shop at, or to Young's Noodle because it's close to the H1 School St and Liliha on and off ramps. I just decided to come here because it's been a super long time, and I've heard some stories about this place that I needed to see for myself.Oahu Noodle Factory offers almost the same exact noodles and wrappers as Yat Tung Chow, the difference is Oahu has Pancit and Chow Funn, and Yat Tung offers more variety on soup noodles and wrappers. A noticeable difference is the price. Oahu is much cheaper than Yat Tung.The boss lady up front seemed friendly and nice. Much better than the other store! I ordered e-mein, and I noticed they were stored in a refrigerator, which is much better than leaving them outside! I feel the noodles and wrappers here cater towards more local style (and Filipinos) compared to the other noodle factories. Pancit and Miki!

How does this place have less than 20 reviews? I am grossly disappointed in your elitism Yelpers. Not Cool.... Or you're all in on a long con and don't want this place to get busier than it already is? Well played, well played.Anywho, my family has been coming here for a long time getting usually getting bundles of fresh saimin and occasionally won ton pei. Noodles are amazingly cheap for being high quality and freshly made, often that day. The same kind of noodles frozen in grocery stores are easily double or triple the price. They also sell a variety of other noodles, such as udon, chow mein, egg noodle, etc. A little embarrassing that despite coming here for well over a decade, we still stick to our basics.There's no real delineation between the cashier and the factory floor in terms of cleanliness and residue from noodle ingredients are pretty much everywhere. But if that is the price to pay for this wildly inexpensive noodle life, so be it. 99% certain it's cash only and parking is terrrrrrrrrrrrible, but if you're quick, customers generally park at the bank next door, run in, buy and run back to their car before the bank staff get fussy.

This is a good place to get the noodles. It has all kinds of varieties and I tried the canton pancit and udon for stir fry. They are pretty decent and will definitely go back again. Most of their noodles are priced at $3/lb. Do check it out and parking is just on street.

My go to place for mandoo pi! My mom used to get her mandoo pi from another place and I followed her lead but that place closed up shop years ago. I had to try out a few places before discovering Oahu Noodle Factory's mandoo pi and now I will not go anywhere else for the wrappers. The pi has a nice thickness, decent stretch and I have kept the wrappers in the fridge for 5 days they were still fresh.I am always amazed that this teeny, tiny place cranks out a wide variety of wrappers and noodles at high volumes. I will call an hour ahead to make sure they have 15 pounds of the mandoo pi and they have it all ready to go! It is cash only so heads up on that but they are next to a bank.I have not tried anything else there because when I am home for the holidays I am the designated mandoo maker so I am focused on the pi. Based on the quality of the pi I am sure everything they make is good.

This fresh noodle factory right is in the middle of Kalihi. They have a variety of fresh noodles that is made on a daily basis. We order usually buy the silver strip ramen.You'll love eating cake noodles, too. They are open daily and on Sundays until 3 pm.
