15 Best Chinese Restaurants in Hilo

“This hole in the wall is a must go to. A very large menu with a variety of items. Only issue is the language barrier. They speak very little English but very manageable by pointing at the menu. Everything was freshly made. Had a vegetarian with me along these travels and hands down Kupo said this is one of the best veggie menus and plates Kupo has had. So a must try when visiting.“

“Whoa, Lam's Garden's food Rocks! We went 2/15/26, and have now found the best Vietnamese food place, in Hilo! There was a short wait, but they have chairs to sit and wait. There's a sign in sheet too, and huge tv's on the wall, so you can watch stuff. 2026 is starting off great, by trying out all the places we didn't go to, for the past 5 years! Definitely returning!“

“Moved To Mountain View North Kulani Road ''Paradise Gardens'' Cold Country in 1999 Ate At Leungs Often , Ordering ''Take Out'' Best Chop Suey In Hilo By Far !!!!!“

“Our Sunday multi-table extended family banquet for college grad grand son was outstanding!!! Our 10menu items were delicious, hot, generously plated, and a great value. Service attention was excellent, allowing prompt transition to family provided deserts.
Plenty of room at and between tables for conversation, visiting, and keiki sharing! Mahlo nui loa!!!!“

“This place got the best won Ton mein noodles, im tryna crack the secret sauce code haha its that good“

“I really like this restaurant! You can choose the plate size and see all the options. If you’re not sure, ask to taste . We usually get a bigger plate to share for $14 – such a good deal. The orange chicken and Beijing beef are a must. It’s a fast option, and they have parking too.“

“The portions were generous, the food was seasoned to perfection (tofu and shrimp), and the staff was attentive and very friendly. We visited three islands in Hawaii, and this Panda location was definitely the best. Highly recommended! Thank u 🙏❤“

“We live in Kau and if we go to Hilo this is our favorite place to eat. It is always the best.“

“Another one of my favorite places to go to for dinner. Their Phó is amazing!“

“Yen’s restaurant is one of the more authentic Chinese restaurants which does have a mix of Vietnamese dishes and drinks. It’s hard to find a good Chinese restaurant in Hilo and am happy to say that their food is fresh and tasty.
We had the spring rolls, pork rice plate and chicken with string beans rice plate. Had the standard Vietnamese coffee (yum!) and one of their interesting cold coffees (brewed coffee with pandan extract and condensed milk)….very good and refreshing! If you prefer it to be less sweet, simply ask for less condensed milk, like I did. We’re definitely planning on going back again to try other dishes.
DO note their current hours: Wednesdays - Fridays, 10:30am - 7:30pm.
This restaurant has been around, serving the Hilo community, for many years and glad they’re still around! Service was good and the restaurant is clean and well organized. Though it’s not a big place (a plus in my books!), it does have a nice ambience with comfortable seating arrangements. There’s some parking space in front of the restaurant as well. Always feel good to support local businesses that do a good job. Highly recommend this family business! Cheers!“

“Recently ordered just the pho broth and veggies. Veggies were packed separately include the hoisin and chilis! Broth was flavorful and hot!

I have been going to this place since it first opened. The food, service and family is amazing and wonderful and the consistency has never changed.

Thank you for serving the Big Island all these years and in the future!“

“Delicious & Convenient located in Hilo😊😊😊🎄“

“Lemon, Oyster ,Roast Pork with Fried Rice and lup Cheong. Oh yeah!“

“The food here is awesome exact same food at lings. However last time I went in for my sons birthday party she overcharged me almost $300. My wife got really upset and wanted an itemized receipt So she gave us one and that’s when the $700 bill went down to $400. Will that stop me from going there? No but after that experience I check my receipt all the time.“

“We had such a wonderful experience at One Plus One in Hilo! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the service was friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every bite was better than the last! You can really tell that care and quality go into what they serve. It’s the kind of place that leaves you already thinking about what you’ll order the next time you come back. If you’re in Hilo and looking for a great meal with excellent service, I definitely recommend giving One Plus One a try. We’ll absolutely be back!“
