I tried the 2 item roast duck and char siu with fried rice. The fried rice was horrible.

Dim Sum is excellent and large with a lot of veggies and shrimp! From steamed bao to baked and all the half moon/siu mai in between. Cha Siu and roast duck hang in the window for purchase. If you go after 10:45 am, it's not as crowded. Family is from Jung San. Aside from the fact that the dim sum is worth it, I have to patronize a small business that is humble and yet underrated. Go now!!

Duck Lee is the best Chinese take-out spot on Island. Eating here made me feel like I was at my Chinese Grandparents again. Like that scene in Ratatouille where Ego gets flashbacks to his childhood. This is my favorite place on Island. The egg drop soup is absolutely insane. Don't get me started on the Har Gow...it makes me believe in Love. Please eat here if you have any sense of Self Love!

One of my favorite places to get roast pork and char siu in Honolulu. It’s a small family owned and friendly restaurant that never disappoints.

If you're on the hunt for char siu, check out Duck Lee! Looks good and taste gooood. Order how much you would like and they'll chop it up for you They have lots of food options, plate lunches, dim sum and more! Many Chinese staples to choose from. Their char siu baos looked yummy, will pick some up next time! There are a few tables inside for you to enjoy your Chinese food, and lots of parking available

Duck Lee Chinese Restaurant is my go-to spot for dim sum, especially their incredible pork hash. It's juicy, flavorful, and the wonton wrapper is delightfully soft. My family and I indulge in a variety from Manapuas, shrimp and chive dumplings to azuki sesame balls and rice cake. Despite no longer living on the east side, I happily make the drive just for their amazing pork hash. Dim sum perfection!

Duck Lee is one of my favorite Chinese take-out places, the portions are large and the quality of the food and taste is the same no matter the day of the week. Lately I've been enjoying the baked char siu manapua with half moons. Both are filled with the right amount and with or without the mustard there's good taste. Be sure to go after 11am, if you go right when they open the complete food line-up might not be out yet. I usually get there a little after 11 and by then all the choices are out and ready to eat. You are greeted by the friendly staff and they move with speed when they make your plate...the choices usually don't change day-to-day, I haven't seen salt and pepper pork chops on the line recently but everything else is usually there.

Duck Lee Express in Market City. On the way to the Airport for a food fix and takeout plate for the airplane. To eat now got Won Ton Min. The soup was strongly flavored, filled with pork won ton, lots of char sui, broccoli and noodles. Funny I just noticed no green onions. The bowl was full and I had trouble finishing it. A minor point was that both the broccoli and noodles were slightly over cooked. My plate lunch was Chow Fun and 2 selections, beef broccoli and sweet and sour roasted duck. Being near the end of the day they cleared out the beef broccoli into my take out container. This restaurant is for the food. There are only 3 tables and most of the business is takeout. The sell whole ducks and chicken, roasted pork, ribs and char sold by the pound. Dim sum is big with many local favorites. The back half of the restaurant is a work area and then a separate kitchen. Service was quick and friendly. I definitely will return here.

Duck Lee a hidden gem in the Market City Shopping Center. Ample parking. Nice and cozy dining area. Staff is friendly and welcoming. They have a nice assortment of Dim Sum. Staples like half moon, shrimp dumplings, steamed or baked Manapua, and a very nice chicken pork hash. Chinese food offerings are very tasty. We tried the Char Siu and Chinese Roast Pork. Both were delicious but the Roast Pork stole the show. Nice crispy skin and flavorful taste and great texture. They even make whole Chinese Shoyu Chicken! Wonderful.
Last time I went there I got Siu Mais which were hard like a rock. Most of the time I got better.

I am from Cali but my family lives in Hawaii. We always come for the Manapua pork bun. I have had my share of manapua bun at various places in Hawaii and California, but have yet to find one as good as this place. The bun is soft and fluffy. The filling is perfectly seasoned. You can just tell by looking at it that it's so fresh n not those frozen buns they normally sell elsewhere. Been wanting to try their egg tart but they are always sold out.

One of the worst Chinese restaurants I've eaten at. Everything was cold. I had read that the roast duck and roast pork were supposed to be good in my search for a replacement for Nam Fong. Guess I'll have to keep driving out to Aiea.

Not the poshest place, but they are my favorite place for steamed char siu manapua: Soft bun, meaty/no fat filling. Vegetable chowfun for the vegan of the group. The folks behind the counter are nice and helpful. They take credit cards now which is nice. Ample free parking.
