8 Best Chinese Restaurants near Aiea

“Believe the hype,glad I did. Lunch boxes are generous, with good fresh fry rice rice full of their excellent char su, a lupia, and a layer of perfect cabbage under the juicy plump duck. Tables available in shade outside. Get there early this place is no secret.“

“Live their Asian food. When locals go home for a visit we always bring back manapua, n pork hash for our family to enjoy. It's a given. Parking on busy days isn't a easy task you might have to circle for a while. But it's worth it.“

“Second time back here with friends for lunch. I got the laksa and it was delicious. Great service. Nice place to have lunch or dinner with friends. The pancake was delicious, not too sweet and very light. I was greedy and order a bowl of pickled cabbage and fish with rice noodle home.“

“New owners as of Oct 24. No more lunch special, more concise menu and an updated feel! I think the portions are a but bigger and the food tastes a bit more ono! Faves are still sweet sour fish, salt n pepper shrimp, and steamed fish. The owner is the chef and Kelly usually runs the front house! I will enjoy continuing to go eat here! There is a new 3% credit card surcharge.“

“I cannot believe it took me over SEVEN years on island to finally eat here—like, how did I miss this?! This spot in Aiea is a total hidden gem and exactly what I’ve been craving ever since my trip to Singapore. It’s similar to mala tang in that you get to pick your own veggies, meats, seafood, etc. to build your soup. The broth options are a little different though—no mouth-numbing mala like you’d find at YGF Mala Tang—but honestly, I didn’t mind one bit.

The spicy pumpkin soup base was perfection: creamy, flavorful, with just the right kick. It didn’t overwhelm my palate or leave me feeling heavy, and it tasted cleaner (less oily) than other broths I’ve tried. If you’re into creamy soups, the pumpkin base is a must-try!

Service was solid too. They refilled my water without me asking and even let me choose my seat (I was the first customer before the evening rush lol). The space was roomy, spotless, and you can tell it’s a true mom-and-pop operation—genuine care for both the food and the customers.

I’m already planning to come back this week because I cannot stop thinking about that pumpkin soup.

Oh, and if soup isn’t your thing (or if Hawaii’s heat has you craving something else), they’ve got chicken katsu with curry, stir fry, and other specialty dishes too.

VISIT. Seriously.“

“Great meeting place with friends!“

“I came here with two of my girlfriends for a very anticipated late night dinner after a long day. We all liked our food— I ordered the vegetable ramen with miso broth, my friend got the spicy pork ramen, and my other friend got the tonkatsu— the portions were good, price was good, and the service was stellar. They played a small game with me at the end after I paid for the check, where I won a bar of soap & I thought that was so cool and a cute way to end the meal!!!! I would definitely come back here again. One of the few places open late on this side of the island as well!“
