50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Aiea

“If you're looking for some roast pork, chicken or duck come here. It's a pick up and go place so don't expect a place to sit unless you find some outside in the plaza. If you're looking for simple, great tasting roasted meat on rice or crispy noodles this is the place. It's simple and delicious. The menu isn't extensive. Other than those roasted meats there's also ginger chicken that I particular love.

The cost of the food here is a great value as well. Each plate I got was enough to feed 2 or 3 people. I would recommend getting a mix of the meats and share. It was all good.“

“We finally tried Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodles at Pearlridge Mall, and OMG… the original pork bone soup was SO good! 🤤 The broth was flavorful and comforting, definitely one of my favorites.

We also ordered the mixed rice noodles with pig cutlet and pig’s ear, and everything was really good. We also got some dim sum on the side and honestly, we loved everything we ordered!

The place was clean, the service was awesome, and everyone was so friendly and lovely. They were very welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

This was definitely a pleasant surprise. I didn’t really know what to expect going in, but we ended up enjoying everything. If you like noodles, flavorful soups, and trying something a little different, definitely give this place a try!

We’ll definitely be back!“

“The food here had large portions with lots of different options. The food was okay. I got the shaka house ramen, it was spicy but that was about it for flavor, the actual broth was pretty bland and didn't stand out. The steak that is was served with was good though. It was busy when we went it was around 6:30 pm. When we were waiting for our food there was a strong crusty smell in the restaurant, me and my friends couldn't figure out what is was and it did kinda make the atmosphere unpleasant. The waitress did take a while to get to our table to take our order, and we had no idea we needed to go up to the counter to pay. Overall I would kinda recommend, only if you want big portions and mildy good tasting food.“

“This place has been fueling potlucks, dinners for my family for decades and my new lunch addiction since I got back. I appreciate that they got rid of the number system and since Covid the crowds have gone down big time so everytime it's smooth sailing. Da aunties behind the counter always hook it up with big portions as always whether it's the new bowl or plate etc. While I admit I miss the furikake fried rice and the fact that spicy garlic and minit chicken is not always available and is now made to order only I do appreciate the transparency and relatively fast speed that it does come out as I can't leave without it. Also for someone who's been here forever I can't for the life of me think of why I didn't try the gau gee sooner as this is the bomb and for the price one of the best I had easily! One of the few places that refuses to change and for that will always be in my mind for all occasions!“

“Fantastic experience, the broth (we got Tonkatsu but they have nine other types) was amazing and roiling hot out of the kitchen. It's nice to be able to pick what goes into your ramen as often time at other restaurants there's always something that I'm not too big a fan of, or nothing enough of something I like. The sever was attentive and wonderfully friendly. After a tasty hot meal you get to cool down with a free shave ice dessert (with Ramen purchase) which, like everything else, was delicious. My partner got the thai tea and said it was great. For the price and the customization options, I can't recommend it enough.“

“Great meeting place with friends!“

“Good food, pretty yummy. Ordered the egg fu yung, the sweet and sour chicken, and beef chow fun. Nice plentiful portions . We also ordered rice too. Good size portions of rice. All tasted yummy. They do take out too. Support local and small businesses!!“

“Best to order online or through their app and pick up in-store of via drive thru. Avoid the long lines that accummulate around any meal hour. Service is pretty quick and the ambiance is just the spot for a family night out. Lots of parking, indoor and outdoor seating. Would recommend!“

“Yummy ..😋😋😋 Waimalu Chop Suey is located at Waimalu Shopping Center.“

“Food was good and came out quickly. Portion sizes were pretty good, and cooking seemed like it was more home-style and less tourist focused, which was appreciated. I got the beef chow fun, the person that I went with got the beef rice soup.“

“Stopped here for lunch while visiting the island. Hole in the wall family run spot with a small wait. Was definitely worth it though. Did the communal eating with a couple who ordered xtra spicy compared to my regular beef noodle soup. We were all sniffling the entire time 🥲“

“I specially went to Aloha Island Manapua bc I saw online that they make the fried ginger chicken plate on rice. I will say that they’re is better than Island Manapua in Manoa. Manoa’s was extra salty. The Waipahu location also gives more chicken & rice for $15 something. Their ginger onion sauce was dry and not liquidy and was heavy on the green onions, less ginger. Kinda weird ratio of ingredients. See from the photos.“

“Had such a great food experience. Everyone was friendly. For being complete outsiders, we were made to feel like family.“

“Great taste and worth to eat👍👍👍“

“The quality of your dishes is very high on customer satisfaction!“

“self rotating skewers were so delicious and fun to watch. side dishes were amzing too“

“Very good, hope is consistent in taste and amount for the price. Far today Tuesday Jun 19th sister Geri’s 85th an possibly last as in Hospice mould so God willing see Wongs Again. Next week. Mahalo & Aloha Uncle Wally 808“

“We stayed here 2 years ago & liked it so much we came back! Across the street from Diamondhead Park, right on Kalakaua Avenue, it's easy to get to & just far enough off the main drag to not feel like you're in the middle of everyone on Waikiki Beach. Our room had a lovely lanai with peek-a-boo ocean views & great views of Diamondhead. We requested & received a wheelchair accessible room with plenty of room to maneuver. The room also had a small fridge & a microwave, so we could store our leftovers & a little stash of breakfast. Lovely place! Definitely recommend. 👍“

“This is our favorite place to eat in all of Honolulu! The friendliest service, and the food is amazing. Don’t miss the cake noodles with minute chicken and the pork with sweet and sour cabbage. Wonton soup with noodles and char siu fried rice are a must- have too. Oh and the salt and pepper prawns! This is a must-visit if you’re on Oahu.“

“Simple, shareable, strongly spiced food, reasonably priced but will make you want to drink. Cozy, maybe 10 tables total. Bonus points for being open late but that will mean rowdy tables. Party room next door overwhelms the ambiance with skull-numbing, throbbing bass. Limited parking.“

“I was visiting Oahu with my husband for a few days, and we always look for good Chinese food spots wherever we travel. Mian was amazing and definitely hit the spot. The noodles were chewy and perfect! We got the beef noodle soup, the pork dumplings, and the hot and sour sweet potato noodles. All of them were very good, highly recommend! If we lived here, we definitely would order from this establishment all of the time.“

“This is my go to for the office! The always hit the spot! Love their options. I always arrive early and the open a little early to accommodate. I love them! Fast, Friendly!“

“great ono stuff. love it thete. parking sucks tho“

“If you are looking for some Cantonese BBQ while in Honolulu, you must stop here and pick up some of this guys meat. I got a half pound of BBQ pork (char siu), half pound of roast pork (siu yuk), and a half a chicken (see yao gai). All of the dishes were well prepared, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection! You will not find anything to complain about when this meat is in your mouth! I went for dimsum at a nearby stall, and chanced upon Meimei. I took a chance and I discovered a master! Please visit here and enjoy! I will return!“

“Solid dim sum. The menu has everything you would expect and what I ordered was good. Not outstanding, but solidly good. The shu mai were the best of the three dim sum I ordered, with the chicken feet food but the actual feet were very big and therefore quite tough.“

“The steamed manapua was 👍 good. The bun was soft and fresh, while the meat was nicely minced and tasty. I bought 3 different types of noodles, chow fun, chow mein, and an udon type. I though the first two were great, but the udon one was a bit dry, maybe because it was toward the end of the day. I would recommend the mini manapuas too. We got the garlic chicken and chicken curry ones, they were pretty good but I probably wouldn't get it again. I really enjoyed the cream cheese one though. Definitely coming back for that one. I was disappointed in the fact that they ran out of pork hash. Not being able to pair it with my manapua was 👎. But overall, I enjoyed the food and will be back.“

“The food was amazing and everything we expected after we saw the video on You Tube. The prices and portions are good and filling.“

“Fantastic restaurant that's been a staple in the Wahiawa community for a long time.
Exceptional service, delicious food, big portions, and the classic familiar atmosphere of a high quality Chinese restaurant! Definitely try the duck!“

“I LOVE THEIR CURRY STEW, HOT SPICY AND SO GOOD! YOU GET LOTS OF MEAT POTATOES AND CARROTS. REMINDS ME OF THE OLD ALAMOANA FOOD WAGON. THAT HAD LINES EVERYDAY, THIRTY YEARS AGO. I WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS PLACE!“

“Great value for the food! Good customer service too! 😄“

“I have not been back to Honolulu for over 10yrs and this time I came back to visit with my 90yr old dad and 10yr daughter. We are from NYC/ATL in the mainland. This HK cafe was recommend by my local friends and I decided to come try their food. HK milk tea and cold lemon tea was very delicious and refreshing! the dishes tasted just as good as HK. Love the decor! We enjoyed the food so much that we came back the 2nd time around. I hope to come back again on my next future visit.“

“The food was so good and really hit the spot. Husband ordered the black garlic oil tantan ramen and I had a combo meal of egg drop soup, gyoza, and chicken katsu curry rice. We especially loved the ramen because of how strong the garlic flavor is.
Service was great, it wasn't busy so we got seated immediately and after ordering the food came out pretty fast. The servers were nice and polite as well.“

“January 2026: Some workers barely speak and understand English. Depending on who is working the front of house, it may affect your experience and your order. But they are all very friendly. Smoothies are made with fresh fruits, not powder, and you can really taste the difference. The prices are all reasonable for the amount and quality you get. They have two tables that can seat 4 and one table that can seat 6. Otherwise, it's mostly a takeout type of restaurant. It's recommended to stand in line to order even if you're gonna dine-in.“

“Good food that is reasonably priced with large portions!
The menu has a ton of things on it and we only tried three things (crab rangoon, asparagus with shrimp, and honey orange chicken). I would definitely get the asparagus with shrimp again, it was so good!
The honey orange chicken lacked much of the orange flavor, but it was decent. We will come back for sure, probably with a bigger group to share lots of things.“

“While the food isn't the best I've had, it's definitely worth the money. The food was tasty, but it wasn't the best garlic chicken I've eaten or the best fried rice or the best hamburger steak. However, it was good enough that I would eat there again. It was nice that I could order online especially because I knew there would be little to no places to park. My order was ready when I arrived.“

“I love finding these small joints that are turning out delicious and generous food at reasonable prices. I wanted to get the braised beef noodle, but they were out so I (reluctantly) ordered char sui noodle. I'm not a big fan of char sui because it normally is too sweet and fatty, but this place really turned me on my head! The meat was tender, and caramelized/ roasted to have the perfect amount of char taste (the picture is a half portion - it was so yummy I just scarfed it down quickly!). The marinade wasn't sweet, and they gave a nice portion separate from the noodles. The soup was piping hot and satisfying, full of noodles and veggies. My kid really liked their pork hash, which was big, plump, and generously filled. We also had the rice cake (it tastes like potu), tea cookies (big hit with my sweet-tooth hubby), and almond cookies. I'll be going back to get that braised beef noodle & eat dim sum one of these days! The inside isn't much too look at, but give it a shot - you & your belly will not regret it.“

“My family is from Hunan and can confidently say this tastes like home. I’ve never had Hunan food that even resembled anything close to the authenticity of Shiyu’s dishes. I’ve grown up eating Changsha style stinky tofu and this tastes the closest to home outside of China.“

“Ordered their roast pork and char sui. It is the best! They do run out so it is best to call before heading out in the afternoon; especially on the weekend. (Learned the hardway...picked up after lunch and decided to get more. It was about 3pm - ran out! Maybe had a big take out order?)

There can be a long line and only one person who chops the meat up.“

“AMAZING. Great service - even better food!!!! made fresh“

“Had the dandan noodles. Was spicy but not overbearing. On this day the kitchen was a little slow.“

“Awesome and tasty Vegetarian food, and I'm not vegetarian 😁“

“I was here for my first time today. The food was amazing and delicious!!
But make sure you get 2 forks per person because I broke 2 of their crappy forks and NOW I do not have a fork to eat with!!!!
I am here in Hawaii on vacation so I do not own a metal fork at all..“

“A typical looking traditional dim sum place. I ordered some basic dim sums to go and they were fine, but nothing special. Each dim sum is about $6. It took a little longer than expected to get my small order ready, but it wasn’t bad. Servers were very friendly.

Vegetarian options: Some options were available.

Parking: Park in the adjacent building at a dollar per hour with the first 30 minutes free.“

“Overload Burger lives up to its name — a delicious, generously loaded burger that hits the spot. Juicy patty, great toppings, and just the right amount of messy. Perfect for when you're craving something hearty and satisfying. Definitely recommend!“

“Ordered the brisket and tendon. Also ordered beef broccoli and rice. Portions were huge. The only reason why we went to 99 ranch before they shut down was just to get food from here. The cashier who helped me was very friendly and offered to help me figure out which portion I wanted. The tendon is so good but you have to eat it with the brisket to balance it out. Will be back again for brisket and tendon for sure.“

“If you're dining here, don't skip the Egg Drop Soup. The broth is rich and comforting, and the delicate strands of egg make every spoonful satisfying. It has a clean, fresh taste that feels both nourishing and delicious. A perfect start to an excellent meal.“

“One of several eateries at Don Quijote. Roast duck and roast pork available hanging on display! Dim sum, plate lunch and dessert 😋. Just happen to try the char siu bao (with green onion)and it was very delicious (not fatty nor greasy) Recommended choice!“

“Genuinely the best roast duck & roast pork we've ever had. Some restaurants either get roast duck/pork right or they don't at all. This place absolutely does it right.

We got the roast duck with tripe & roast pork with pig stomach bentos. The duck & pork was juicy through & through. Pork was perfectly crispy without trying to cut the roof of my mouth. The sauce that comes with was flavorful without being too salty.

The tripe & pig stomach were both amazing as well & not too chewy or tough. Staff was friendly & service was quick. We almost passed on this place but so glad we stopped by!“

“The food was extremely authentic, HUGE portion sizes. Was very pleasantly surprised that we could find such authentic hunan cuisine in Honolulu! The service was quick and servers are very kind, had great conversations while enjoying our meal!“

“fast and friendly service. perfectly prepared dishes. Taste is on point. one of my favorite Chinese spots on the island.“
