Cantonese Restaurants in Honolulu, HI

“First Time to this location walked in and was greeted and the wonderful smell of food was amazing I asked to view the menu decided on take out. I gotten Minute Chicken w/Cake Noodle they separated the sauce so the noodles wouldn’t get soggy the taste was so so Ono. The Char Siu was so juicy soft and super delicious. I will be coming back here for sure.“

“Food was good and came out quickly. Portion sizes were pretty good, and cooking seemed like it was more home-style and less tourist focused, which was appreciated. I got the beef chow fun, the person that I went with got the beef rice soup.“

“Holy cow this place needs to be on the map for everyone to try!!! The char siu with the roasted pork combo is the BEST! The pork was so juicy and crunchy. The char siu hit the spot. My husband and I have traveled to quite a few places and never have we been to a restaurant and have had both char siu and roasted pork so flavorful. The only thing we regretted was not visiting this place again before leaving Hawaii. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! Keep up the good work New char siu house you guess are making great things happen!!!“

“I like their Hainanese chicken but their pork hash is the best! my friends love the pig ear.“

“THE CAKE NOODLES!!! I read about this place before our trip to Hawaii and decided to try it. The reviews said to try the cake noodles and they weren't lying. I ordered the Minute Chicken and Cake Noodles...wow! It was absolutely delicious and so fast. And the sauce, seriously...so good! Everyone was so friendly and attentive (we went a weird time and had the place to ourselves). I've been dreaming about these noodles and am seriously thinking about going back before we head home.“

“Wish I could have given the food 10 stars. Incredibly delicious and flavorful. Noodles are made here...fresh. We each had the noodles with shrimp. I put the mustard sauce in my soup, then dipped my noodles in it. My husband had the super hot red sauce that was brought to him in a small dish and dipped his noodles in it. Portions are really big. Restaurant is clean and peaceful.“

“An oasis in Moiliili. Great service, old style local Chinese Restaurant. value and lots of parking. Take out available.“

“but watch out for da guy begging fo money..I offered him half moom or pok hash n he declined food only want money..forget that..“

“Small hole in the wall chinese Restaurant at Honolulu Chinatown. Good quality food at reasonable price..“

“What a gem of a place, can'tbelieve they've been here over 20yrs and I'm only now discovering them. Outstanding food, nice people, great atmosphere. I had the Saimin with the Hong Kong noodles (that's the super skinny ones). The only way to describe the broth is to say it was soothing and comforting.
We will definitely be back.“

“If you're looking for casual comfort food ..this is a great place...food is great! I ordered the beef and tendon noodle soup and the meat was very tender and soup is very flavorful and not salty. Their lemon ice tea were very refreshing and made just like the HK cafes in Hong Kong. Will definitely come back!“

“Came here for lunch to celebrate my Mom's bff Birthday. We invited a couple of her friends as well.

We had a delicious eight course luncheon.

Honey BBQ Ribs, Singapore Noodles, Concubine Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Kau Yuk with Taro, Steamed Fish Fillet with Soft Tofu, and Stir Fried Ung Choy with Harm Har.

Needless to say, we had plenty of leftovers for takeout. The ladies enjoyed the food. All the dishes were prepared well and great flavor. Price was inexpensive considering we got a lot of food.“

“A typical looking traditional dim sum place. I ordered some basic dim sums to go and they were fine, but nothing special. Each dim sum is about $6. It took a little longer than expected to get my small order ready, but it wasn’t bad. Servers were very friendly.

Vegetarian options: Some options were available.

Parking: Park in the adjacent building at a dollar per hour with the first 30 minutes free.“

“Was greeted by a kind gentleman behind the counter. He saw us looking and opened up the steam basket to show us more options but wasn't pushing us to by his food. I was already full but decided to get the fried pork dumplings. I'm so glad I did. Omg it was fresh, hot, crispy and the filling tasted just right. This place costs a lot less than where I'm from for dim sum. If I could eat more, I would've ordered more.“

“This little “hole-in-the-wall” I’ve been coming to for years, possibly decades, but I haven’t been since new ownership took over. I was hesitant because the previous owners I’ve gotten to know over the years and they put so much effort into their food… I’m happy to report that the food is just as good!I ordered the soup noodles with pork and pickled vegetables and it was like I remembered. The soup base was delicious and the noodles cooked perfectly. I also order the salt & pepper chicken wings for good measure and those were great too!If you have a craving for HK-style cafe food, this is the spot to visit!“

“According to my mom, born and raised in Taiwan, she would bet that this is the best dim sum place on the island.
It is definitely a popular spot and the place is crowded at lunchtime even on a weekday; service is fast and food arrives within minutes before you've even had a chance to sip your hot tea.“

“Best food in O’ahu… excellent service, delicious and priced right 👏🏼🙌🏼 Thank you for a great restaurant option on the island 😋“

“One of several eateries at Don Quijote. Roast duck and roast pork available hanging on display! Dim sum, plate lunch and dessert 😋. Just happen to try the char siu bao (with green onion)and it was very delicious (not fatty nor greasy) Recommended choice!“

“I love finding these small joints that are turning out delicious and generous food at reasonable prices. I wanted to get the braised beef noodle, but they were out so I (reluctantly) ordered char sui noodle. I'm not a big fan of char sui because it normally is too sweet and fatty, but this place really turned me on my head! The meat was tender, and caramelized/ roasted to have the perfect amount of char taste (the picture is a half portion - it was so yummy I just scarfed it down quickly!). The marinade wasn't sweet, and they gave a nice portion separate from the noodles. The soup was piping hot and satisfying, full of noodles and veggies. My kid really liked their pork hash, which was big, plump, and generously filled. We also had the rice cake (it tastes like potu), tea cookies (big hit with my sweet-tooth hubby), and almond cookies. I'll be going back to get that braised beef noodle & eat dim sum one of these days! The inside isn't much too look at, but give it a shot - you & your belly will not regret it.“

“A great Chinese restaurant offering a wide variety of delicious dishes. Their lobster is a must-try, and the clams in black bean sauce are absolutely top-notch. Other noteworthy favorites include the stir-fried vegetables, ginger chicken, roasted duck, and their egg white and scallop fried rice, although that particular dish can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on the day. Overall, it’s an excellent place for a satisfying Chinese meal, with plenty of tasty options to choose from.“

“Mini chairs, cute Asian vibes, food was pretty good , I got the mapo tofu, and braised tofu with rice and choy sum. I paid $21 for my plate. I hear their chicken wings are good too. They give a lot and you can tell they have regular customers. They do have parking too“

“You must try the crab! You will not be disappointed.“

“selection, value, and taste.“

“A very good reliable dim sum option with easy bus options and parking in the municipal lot underground nearby. A central location at the edge of chinatown's mauka side. Their dishes are good to excellent. One very nice thing is they are small enough so that will make dishes to order when they don't have them in the hot cart.“

“Its the best! What else can be said?“

“Best live Maine lobster in town with the right price!“

“Ate here with my spouse. Had what was similar to egg rolls with chicken if they were steamed. My husband had 3 buns with BBQ pork inside. He said they were delicious. We shared a large pot of egg drop soup, I had to add a little salt. I had chicken with vegetables, pretty good, some of the pieces were a little fatty. Nothing oily. Polite, attentive service. Bill was about $42 and we left them $50. Dated but clean place. Lots of supplies on tables and counters. Group of LOUD men enjoying themselves but part of the ambiance I guess. All in all, it did the trick.“

“My friends wanted a traditional dim sum experience, the kind where little push carts roll around the restaurant filled with delicious food. They actually turned down every other dim sum restaurant because none of them had carts anymore. And now that I think about it, almost every dim sum place I visit has stopped using them. This was the only restaurant I could think of that still had them! There’s something so special about sitting around a table with friends, sipping hot tea, watching the carts roll by, and picking out whatever looks delicious. It’s part of the fun and charm of dim sum, and I love that this place keeps that tradition alive. The food is delicious, the staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, and the service is wonderfully quick. They bring you tea and water, and everyone makes you feel welcome. I really love the food, the people, and the whole experience here. Just one little tip: bring cash! They strongly prefer it, and paying by card costs about 10% extra. So come hungry, bring some cash, gather your friends, and enjoy a beautiful little tradition that’s becoming harder and harder to find. This is how dim sum was meant to be enjoyed!“

“Come here often when I come to Hawaii. It’s a good restaurant!“

“This place had many different things I had not tried before. The jellyfish for example. It was better than I thought. Their duck was excellent too!“
