Had a wonderful time at Asia manoa. Great food, great service, and nice atmosphere. Ordered the schezuan eggplant and the lemon chicken and egg fu yong. So delicious and yummy!! This place is the place to go if your in Manoa and looking for really good Chinese food. Love this place!!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetables you can order.Parking: Had two open stalls when we went. Parking is close to Bank of Hawaii Manoa. Easy to get in and out of.

Really sad that the two times I visited this place they tried to sneak in an extra order and up charge. Had to correct the waitress. Smh Only plus is that the food tastes pretty good.

Good food at this little neighborhood restaurant in Manoa! We made reservations for 7 people, to take some out of town guests for dinner. Service was good for only two people running it. Crispy gau gee was so delicious & lots of filling! Honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, fried calamari, asparagus with pork & sweet sour pork were all so yummy! Guests enjoyed it & we were all satisfied! My fave was the calamari! Will definitely be back.

After covid the prices are higher and the portions are smaller. The place is really untidy. There are empty boxes all stacked up. Also the last time I went in the woman there made a mistake and charged me for someone elses order. When I corrected her she yelled at me and instead of reversing the transaction with my credit card she gave me cash. I did not argue because I didn't want to get yelled at. I have not returned there after that and never will.

We always get great service from this friendly and chill family restaurant. I am not always the biggest fan of fried food but their salt and pepper shrimp here is my favorite! There is a nice fluffy quality to it and the taste is addicting. Their black bean clams are also good if they have it available that day. You can call in advance to check!

I like their food but the prices have really skyrocketed! we ordered 4 dishes take out. 2 orders steamed fish, 1 order squid with ginger and onion, and 1 Chinese chicken salad. The bill was $108.

We have been coming to Asia Manoa for many years. After the pandemic, we have focused on doing take out as our family has changed. Our most recent experience was very good & very helpful. We needed 2 plates less than half an our to closing. Unlike all other restaurants we called, they said come over, but come now. The food was hot and our guests devoured the food. We also like the fact that we can get vegetarian food, not just Jai or cooked Choi Sum. While we have not dined in at the restaurant in years, the take out has been consistently good and we plan to continue eating here.

Stopped in for a quick dinner, Since we haven't been here in awhile. Like at least for a couple of years, pre pandemic. Heard the food quality had gone down, so we thought we would give it a try to see for ourselves. Ambiance: Typical Neighborhood Chinese Restaurant. Good for take out on your way home. Service: Da usual, Food: Salt and Pepper Pork Chops were good.-4/5 Chicken Salad was okay 3/5 Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice-4/5 Boneless Minute Chicken Cake Noodle-3/5 Overall was meh, maso menos. Would return for pork chops and fried rice. Keep up the cleaning!

Rude service, mediocre food. Brought us the wrong items and argued what seemed to be endlessly that it was what we ordered.
I thought this place wasn't too bad. We tried several dishes and it was pretty good. I didn't find any one dish particularly outstanding but it was decent.

I think this place deserved a higher rating. The food was excellent and the service was fast. It's the old Toyo Superette if anyone remembers that place.

One of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to. Asian Manoa is my go to. The barbecue ribs are amazing! You can't get them anywhere else on the island. Love the minute chicken cake noodles too.

Small little Chinese restaurant tucked away in Manoa. Service is pretty good considering that only one person works the floor and had 4 parties. The guy usually just stays at the register or delivers food. The food was very good ? my folks have come here many times and it was amazing, I don’t even like Chinese food ?. Parking lot was small but the bank next door is closed so we parked there. Would definitely come back again if in the area.
