37 Best Chinese Restaurants near Ewa Beach

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

“Panda Express #2184 is very fortunate to employ a very courteous, very kind, sincere associate named SALEH A. There was no line, no one in front of me, but I waited maybe a minute or two before he came over, because the other employee was busy packing an online order and didn’t bother to even look my way to say something like, “we’ll be with you in a minute.”
I don’t care about price- I don’t even care about how something taste really delicious or not- what I do care about is SERVICE- at least acknowledge your customers when they enter. Everyone has the choice to walk back out and go somewhere else.
What was interesting is, I carried a personal conversation with this young man, SALEH, and he asked if I had time to please do a survey. I always do surveys for Google. I hope this young man finds his niche in something he loves to do. Thank you.“

“Generous servings per order. Food tasty. Came to table hot but food got cold quickly. Teapot was refilled fairly quick. Usually busy but I think we caught a day & time when not so busy. I’ve been here when all tables were full sometimes they have family dinner parties there. It can be a madhouse. Family dining, casual dress, atmosphere comfortable. Friendly wait staff. Dining room fairly clean.“

“Very lowkey spot for mostly take-out in Waipahu. Ginger fried chicken did not disappoint at all. Most of the manapua was sold out when I arrived two hours before closing. Tried the curry, teriyaki chicken, and char siu buns. All were pretty solid, but I liked the char siu bun the best.“

“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.“

“Affordable price for buffet lovers. Valet parking is reasonable... Lots of choices to choose from... all you can eat for a price you will never regret...“

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

“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 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!“

“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!“

“Came here for the manapua, and we were not disappointed. They had so many different flavors! We tried all the ones they had left by the time we got there, and our favorite was the kalua pork. Smoky, moist bbq flavor in the filling with a soft bun. Super reasonable prices. We are from out of town, and found all the choices kind of overwhelming, best to look for awhile or review the menu before getting there. Service was friendly.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Went here because they serve roast duck, roast pork , oyster sauce chicken and cake noodles. Ordered the oyster sauce chicken over cake noodles and sie yuk Chinese roast pork. I was not disappointed. Good portions. Good taste. Fast and friendly service. This place has been here since the 20th century. A mainstay of pearl highlands.“

“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!“

“I’m gonna round up to five stars and give benefit of the doubt for other items. A bowl of Ramen is $15-$23. I feel like the portion size was very hearty. I had the black garlic Ramen with pork. The amount of pork was great for the bowl. They were open a little bit later till 10 PM which was nice coming in after a long flight. The lady who helped was friendly. I come here again.“

“Best Roasted Duck in all the islands. Take out to neighbor islands too.“

“I started working in this area three months ago and Mini Garden Express was recommended to me by my predecessor as a good value for occasional “staff” takeout dinners. I was warned, however, that there was an employee there who really hated itemized receipts. Sure enough, after sending a staff member to pick up dinner with the company debit card (which requires itemized receipts), he returned with four plates and an itemized receipt but he begged to never be sent there again unless we paid cash/didn’t need the itemized receipt. I went myself the next time, so I could witness this employee’s intense dislike of itemization. Upon leaving, I told everyone we were taking them off the list because I didn’t want to subject anybody else to an experience like that.

All that being said, my “boycott’ lasted approximately five days before the requests (and my cravings) for Mini Garden Express cake noodle became too much. I now pay cash and pretend like the debit card experiences never happened. THAT’S how good their char siu cake noodle and minute chicken cake noodle are. I’m pretty sure their 98 other menu selections would be equally good…..just don’t ask for an itemized receipt unless you REALLY need it.“

“Gr8 place for an inexpensive lunch. Food was 👍, but the spicy pork wasn't that spicy. My dinner place was awesome. Kauyuk had the perfect amount of 5-spice. They were generous w a whole bowl of sweet sour spare rib sauce when I asked for some. Took off 1 star for atmosphere bc they desperately need new benches; even the duct tape is worn out.“

“They can customize their menu according to your wishes too!“

“My workplace put in a huge order and when I went to pick it up, it was obviously too much to carry to my car. Jerome and Diana took the liberty of helping me bring the boxes to my car. I didn’t even ask they were so kind about it. Since the very beginning, Diana made sure I had everything I needed and was very professional and very quick to load the boxes. Thank you guys again!“

“We picked up dinner tonight and everyone was happy. That’s a miracle, considering my MIL (who used to run a restaurant) always finds something to critique. Not this time.

Crispy Gau Gee Mein, Minute Chicken Cake Noodle and Beef Broccoli were all ono. As we were picking up dinner, noticed rice cake at the register so of course, we grabbed a few. Flavor took me back to the Manapua Man days of my childhood. Portions were good size and although a few bucks more per dish than the Chinese restaurant closer to our home, it was well worth it.

Called ahead to order and our food was ready on time. Clean restaurant and the lady helping us was friendly and personable. Worth the drive (we live in Wahiawa). We’ll be back.“

“Convenient location in Waipahu right next to savers. Aunty's ready to welcome you in and give any recommendations. Their crispy gau gee, beef chow fun and steamed fish was all ONO!

Mahalo to you guys!! ????

Definitely recommend“

“I am now using the Panda APP.

This Location was never my favorite (the one close to Costco)

BUT, it has got BETTER
FOOD is cooked better
AND , they are giving MORE (vs before)

I do not know what changed ...
But, I will be back.

Before my Favorite location was Ewa Beach. :)“

“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!!“

“Pandaʻs is great for REAL food (not junk food) thats fast, yet still offers healthy delicious options. But at Kamʻs the bathroom door is on lockdown now and requires a keycode = so pay attention when they tell it to you, because it can be tricky for newbs. ALSO sometimes they forget to offer fortune cookies and chopsticks and hot sauce, unless you ask them. AND if theyʻre busy: the soda machine, the trash cans, and the napkins could all use help. But at least they keep the place clean.“

“This is a nice place for kid's to eat at my daughter love's this place and they have alot of options to choose from to make sure the kid's get there vegetables ?.

Vegetarian options: There are some pretty good veggies options here

Kid-friendliness: There are kid's options here and they love the Fortune cookies.

Parking: Lot's of parking as it is up at the mall just don't go on the weekends as it can be hard to find parking spots

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp at the main entrance if you want to stroll up here“

“There were 5 women expertly and efficiently running the entire restaurant. 2-3 would take orders and then one would do cashier while two in the back were cooking food. After the rush they were cleaning the beverage and dining area. Fast and efficient service. Would definitely return! A little sad that this location doesn’t offer military discount but it seems to be a lot of locations on Oahu.“

“Just look at these delicious photos! Great food, prices and plentiful!! 🤙🏼🌺🌴🌊🇬🇺“

“Great meeting place with friends!“

“Called a phone order in for take out and food was ready in 15 minutes. I got Hot&Sour soup, Egg flower soup, chicken congee, and beef congee for $68 all together. Great tasting food and good service. They use good quality take out containers and the seasoning is on point. I'm trying to get over a sore throat and these dishes are great for this. This is definitely my new go to place for comfort chinese food in Kalihi.“

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

“Absolutely the BEST customer service and the most delicious food I’ve ever had at any Panda Express location!

Every single time I come here, the team is consistently friendly, welcoming, and on point. You can feel the positive energy immediately—from the moment I walk in or even just call ahead. That kind of service is rare, and they truly set the standard.

And let’s talk about the food… it just hits different here. You can genuinely taste the care, effort, and pride they put into every dish. Even though it’s a franchise, this location stands out—it feels like they’re putting heart and soul into everything they serve.

Huge thank you to the entire team for always being kind, professional, and bringing such great vibes. You make every visit a great experience.

Highly recommend this Waipahu location if you want the REAL Panda Express experience! 🧡🥡“

“Typical Panda Express in a small strip of shops next to Walmart. Strip parking is usually available but walmart lot neighbors with lots of parking. Love the super greens option as a base. Kung pao chicken and broccoli beef are always great. It would be nice to get the brown rice back.“

“Had a nice atmosphere and ran into a friend who happened to be the pool table holder upon my friend and I arriving. And we were fortunate to be able to play numerous racks even though there were over 2 dozen people enjoying the reggae music and socializing with eachother. And since playing pool was the mission. We nailed the mission in short order!“
