On Dong Chinese Restaurant

I came here for the jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) because I've had it before and I enjoy it! We got that and the sweet and sour pork. I like their sweet and sour pork because there's not a lot of tendon or other parts when you're eating it. Usually when I eat any pork, there's other parts that get chewy but this one felt like mostly meat for all the parts so that was good. It was nicely fried as well. Atmosphere - Good, classic chinese (it's a Korean Chinese restaurant) looking kind of place. They had tables and chairs but also booth seats. Service - Our server was nice and checked in with us. If you need anything you can just wave them down as well and they'll come. They are hustling so they move fast and get you what you need.Cost - We got jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork so with tip, it was around $45. You get your usual banchan as well which is kimchi, the raw onion with the paste and I think they had the yellow pickled radish as well if not the yellow then the pickled white (getting my food places confused).Parking - They have a small lot in the back which is paid parking. Since we came after 6pm, we just did the metered street parking (don't pay afterwards, read the signs) so it was easy. Location - Entrance to the restaurant is on King Street, there's no entrance from the back or parking lot area. I would definitely come here again for the jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork!

My boyfriend and I were craving noodles and took to Yelp to find a restaurant. We decided on this place since the food looking amazing in the pictures. This is small restaurant on King Street. The tables were all filled but we only had to wait 5 minutes to be seated. The workers were so effective and quick to make sure everyone got their order.I ordered the Jjamppong and it was INCREDIBLE. The broth was so flavorful and the noodles were perfectly bouncy. I'd come back just to have this meal again. My boyfriend ordered the Jajangmyeon and he said it was delicious! Most of the other tables ordered this as well. We decided to get the sweet and sour pork as well. If I order this next time, I will get the sauce on the side since it ruined the crunch on the pork.Overall, I'd highly recommend this place! Great service and great food! Will definitely be back for the Jjamppong!

This is our go to takeout place whenever we crave jjajangmyun and tangsooyook! Korean approved. Legit and delicious! We've only done takeout here so not sure about the service/ambiance but the food is solid.

Sweet and sour pork was so bland. Even coated I. The sauce, it can't mask the bland pork. It's like they didn't season the pork or even the flour. Jajangmyeon wasn't very good either, which is so disappointing since I was craving it and was told this place had a really good jajangmyeon. Service was decent though.

We usually have the jjajangmyeon here, which is very good.However, I remember my wife ordering a noodle soup for me once, which I really enjoyed. She doesn't refer to the menu, she just orders what she knows they have.I arrived here after work on Friday, hoping to get reacquainted with that mystery noodle soup. My first time ordering off the menu, so I picked the most likely candidate, "NOODLES WITH SEAFOOD & SOUP." I asked the server what the name of the soup was in Korean - "samseon-myeon." It seemed like what I had before, but I think my wife had ordered a separate, special sauce to mix in, which enhanced the flavor. I wasn't able to recreate my original experience, but it was still pretty good.For comparison, I ordered a second dish, "NOODLES WITH SPICY SOUP & SEAFOOD" - "jjamppong" in Korean. This was clearly not what I had before, but I enjoyed it even more than the samseon-myeon. The combination of noodles and seafood in the rich, savory broth needed no enhancement.This was a delicious, filling dinner accompanied by the usual side dishes and hot tea. The service was great, and I appreciated how they patiently answered my questions - even showing me how to write the names in Hangeul.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9vszBEqPe56RkL25/?mibextid=oFDknk

Here is an update on the review explaining what I meant.The order was Chinese food for tonight from 3 places. (i.e. I was ordering from 3 different places).There were people that like "fake" Chinese AKA Panda - but they know what they like so this was an easy order. (AKA means also know as - this was PANDA EXPRESS that was "americanized and fake). - the rest of the review that follows - regarding On Dong#1 - it was one of the places I frequented so I am very familiar with the food.#2 - I was overcharged OR the prices went up a lot.#3 - The food was not up to their standard. In fact, it was prepared incorrectly.#4 - I am not saying On Dong is "fake". That first sentence about Panda stands alone. That's why there is a period on the end. BTW, just because something might be "fake" doesn't mean it doesn't taste good.-- the rest as followsThe second place was On Dong Chinese restaurant which is more "Korean" than Chinese but has made some good food in the past. We took a look at the menu on their website and ordered 2 orders each Spicy chicken and a Pork dish. I was designated to pick up the food. As I went in, I heard them say $95.. I figured, can't be mine. Then as the register was wrung, I saw $69 (remember this number!!!!). More like it.However, when I went to pay, yep, it was slightly over $95. WOW. This place used to be pretty affordable. Since I didn't do the order, I just paid and asked my wife to call and check.She called them and referenced their prices on their website and was told "oh that's long time ago". Uh...... Man, these places need to fix their websites!For example: Sweet Sour Pork - $16.95 on their website and another chicken dish - $17.95.Wait. $16.95 + $17.95 = $34.9Two orders of each (34.9 * 2) = $69.8 - remember the $69????SOMETHING IS SUSPICIOUSTHEY OVERCHARGED ME $26!!!!!OK, so now, this affordable place has raised their prices too much OR overcharged me on purpose. In addition, the spicy chicken was not the usual way they make it. It looked very plain and didn't have the great taste that they are known for. We figured out why later. They forgot to put the sauce over the chicken for both orders!In addition, the food was light! You know local people, the food has to have some weight! It was less than we usually got before so I know something is wrong. I usually don't like taking out because it seems like they give less in general.Maybe something changed, but at those prices, there are a lot of more affordable places. And if I pay that much, there are a lot of other places I'd rather go to.We went to the 3rd place which was more "authentic" and I kid you not, 2 orders that cost almost a third of On Dong, was twice as heavy as the 4 orders. Maybe the weight is one of the determining factors of Chinese food? (Just joking).OMG - my wife pointed out, that right on the Yelp page, it says Sweet and Sour pork - $16.95!Too bad as this place was one of the places where we make the rounds.

What the heck -- 5 stars! Came for the black bean noodles, and I have to say, they were exactly what everyone has been saying -- the best on the island. Seriously, if you're into those deep, savory flavors, this is the spotBut, what completely stole the show for us was the Gan Poong Chicken. We only ordered it because every other table had it, and wow, I totally get why. It was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and honestly, I would come back for that dish aloneAlso, love that they provide bon chons and tea -- a nice little touch. The whole place has a laid-back, old-school Chinese vibe, which feels super local and comforting

This is my grandma's favorite black bean noodle (jjajangmyeon) spot on Oahu, and mine! This speaks volumes because my halmoni is very picky about what she likes, but once she finds a decent place she remains loyal for life.[Ambiance]On Dong is a Chinese-Korean fusion restaurant. There is a paid parking lot behind and metered street parking all around. Certain times of the day, and certain days, the street parking is free. I don't think there is a restroom inside the restaurant, but I suspect there's a public one nearby.[Service]Honestly, every single lady that works here is 100% fluent in Korean and in English. It's every Korean-American's dream. They are all very kind, hardworking and efficient. Each person anticipates your needs before you can even ask. I think they have the best customer service on the island of all the Korean businesses I've visited. Make sure you tip them at least 20%! They deserve that, and more![Food]My boyfriend and I usually order the regular jjajangmyeon and kkanpunggi. My grandma particular enjoys their tangsuyuk. The banchan is good too. Love their kimchi! (Tip: pour some vinegar on the sweet onions to lessen the natural spice. Dip in the black bean sauce.) The meal also comes with hot tea--a sign of an authentic Asian restaurant. You can also ask for water! They usually have cups of ice water ready at the table. I will say that I ordered the jjamppong once or twice and it didn't have the kick I was looking for. Portions are always generous. Warning: You will likely experience food coma.I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place before because I frequent often and have enjoyed each visit over the years I've lived on Oahu.

I had asked an employee from my dentists office about On Dong. The patients highly recommended this place.My first visit here. I ordered seafood black bean noodles. An Employee told me to wait outside. It was hot outside. There was chair by the door so I can sit. Another employee brought out my take out order. There was enough black bean sauce for the noodles. Noodles was soft enough to not be chewy. Sauce had was not too thick so it could blend with noodles.

This business never updates their business hours, such an inconvenience. All it takes is for them to post their new hours.
