I can’t believe this place hasn’t been shut down by the health department. There was pork or something just sitting on the counter behind the cash register. The whole place is filthy. My friends food was cold. Ordering is a nightmare since you can’t understand them and they don’t understand you so I got shrimp when I ordered chicken. Mac salad was good though.

I don't understand WHY, they don't learn to speak better English, and have a more cheerful hospitality personality! Or at least hire a worker, who does speak clear English? Went once, ordered our food to takeout, and waited. While waiting, a nice lady kupuna came in to order. The owner seemed to not understand the customer's order, even when the customer literally pointed to the written menu (by the way, they have it written all over their walls; terribly unprofessional)! The customer became embarrassed, her son came in impatient because the transaction was taking so long, and they just left! The owner didn't show any reaction to what happened. What a turn off. Our food was ok, but I couldn't enjoy it because I knew the other Aunty who couldn't order, left embarrassed and hungry. We won't be back.

The best home made cooking in Hilo. Always good and tasty. We love it.
Nice little hole in the wall place. Family owned. Food is amazing. We stopped by and a local was raving about this place as we walked by. So we just had to stop in. Use cash and leave a tip to support this family! ?
We ordered the garlic chicken.
It comes with white rice and a macaroni salad.
It was so good the garlic chicken was perfectly cooked lightly breaded but not soggy and amazingly flavorful. I also had the crab rangoons and omg they were the best rangoons of my life. Most places skimp on the crab not this place the seafood flavor was abundant and you could see the chunks. So good and perfectly fried. If you are stopping by from the cruise port this is the best place to go on the way to the beach!

Much much better than expected! Looks rough from the outside, services the industrial businesses in the area. We had garlic shrimp and BBQ chicken take-out, so much food we had to save more than half the chicken for later and half the rice for later. We ate all our cabage salad and half the macaroni salad. Very reasonably priced, $16 for each of our meals, we could have easily shared one meal between the two of us.

Great Chinese food. Best I tasted on the east side. Food cooked fresh on the spot. Place is a small hole in a wall kind of thing. If u blink, you will miss it. But well worth the money , and worth looking for on a map.

Good pricing, the food was decent from the many times I've been. They do large portions so it can be convenient for party's. It's a very small restaurant, could use alot of interior design work. Not much room for a dining experience. I'd say best for take out. I usually go for Steak & shrimp but I'm sure the have alot of other good options. Worth a try not sure how consistent the quality would be.

Quaint, little hole in the wall chinese food. Atmosphere only 3 stars because site only has 3 tables, and one is outside. Not a place to have a party, but you want great tasting food to go, this is your jam. Huge menu selection. Great prices. Friendly service, but limited English by the owners. Parking can be tight.
Parking: About 3 spaces, and some spaces on adjacent church property.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.
