Very disappointed in the Mongolian beef. It did not look at all like the photos I see here and on the menu. It was just loads of onions, second to that bell pepper, and last small slivers of beef lacking flavor. The overall amount of onions and lack of meat made me feel entirely ripped off.

Absolutely disgusting
I was really excited to try this place, as I’ve been exploring different spots in the area. Unfortunately, my experience here was a huge letdown. I ordered the sweet and sour pork, and what I received was completely unacceptable. The pork was so dry its beef jerky. It was hard to chew like it feels when you get super old nuggets. Just writing this review and thinking about it makes my stomach turn. I understand that I requested it without sauce, but even so, it shouldn’t have been served in this condition. Food prepared properly should still be moist and flavorful, with or without sauce, and this was far from it.
I rarely write reviews, but I honestly feel tricked into picking this place because of its 4-star rating. I’ve never been this disappointed by a meal and truly don’t understand how what I was served made it out of the kitchen. I ordered the sweet and sour pork, and after a few bites, I just couldn’t keep eating. The pork was unbearably dry—like leather or beef jerky—and the sweet and sour sauce couldn’t even save it because it was bland and unappetizing. The entire dish was beyond gross and a huge disappointment.
The house rice was the only thing that was okay, but it wasn’t enough to justify the meal. Honestly, I feel like I was robbed—I would’ve been better off buying frozen food from the grocery store. This experience was such a letdown, and I had really high hopes for this place.
I'm willing giving it another shot if the restaurant makes things right, otherwise I do not recommend this place at all. This was absolutely unacceptable. The picture says it all

Very nice place to enjoy family time with good food and great conversations. The area is hidden in the back corner... Not much of an atmosphere, more business warehouse type area. Service is spot on . Check it out and enjoy.

Best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I would never have found this place on my own, but some local family took us and the food was plentiful and so tasty! It’s a little hard to find and the neighborhood was a little sketchy, but would go back again and again!

A hidden gem in Kalihi. Don't judge the book by its cover. One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Family operated. Let's support small businesses.
