Food was very good. If we where in town longer we would definitely be back.
The service was excellent, our servers where so kind and prompt. Shan suggested one of the best dishes we had the plum pork. The food came out fast and fresh. Plus there was parking.
Edit to add **At first when looking at the menu online I was a bit nervous not knowing what it was without any pictures, but be at ease there's pictures with the names all over the walls.**
We had the carb puffs, green beans with garlic, mongolian beef, Char siu-BBQ pork, pork chop with plum sauce, and vegetable fried rice.
The carb puff where stuffed with filling and so crunchy, the green beans where cooked perfectly with ample flavor, the beef was flavorful with out being over powered by sauce or too fatty, the plum pork came out hot and crispy with that yummy plum sauce, the BBQ pork was okay the flavor was good but I was expecting it to be hot and it was just warm but that might be normal?, and finally the vegetable fried rice was a classic.

One of the best Chinese places my family and I have been to (and we are Chinese lol). The place is a cute mom and pop place so if you want to support locals I definitely recommend! The salt and pepper pork chops were tender, crispy, and deliciously salty! The hong kong pan fried noodles were a favorite and some of the best we have had. Also, the sweet and sour fish was to die for! Very crispy and perfectly flavored. The service was amazing, filled our tea and water multiple times and constantly asked how we were enjoying the meal. 100/10 recommend!

By the taste of it, Golden Eagle has a new owner or a new chef or both! I've been going to Golden Eagle off and on for well over 30 years and maybe even since they opened. Being Chinese, I judged Chinese restaurant pretty much solely by the quality of their food, and Golden Eagle has gone up and down as its changed ownership over the years. It started out good, then after some time when down, then up again a few years ago, and now, in 2025, it's up up 📈.
Last week, I stopped by for traditional vegetarian e-mein to celebrate my mom on her 101st birthday, and it was the BEST e-mein I've had in Honolulu for a long time. The noodles were al dente, not broken, and cooked dry style with a delicate seasoning that brought out the flavors of the dish. Many local Cantonese restaurant drown their dishes in thick oyster sauce. Not Golden Eagle.
Given the surprisingly deliciousness of the e-main, I went back last night to test my theory. That theory is looking less like conjecture and more like fact. I bought fried rice with salted fish and diced chicken (咸鱼鸡粒炒饭 haam4 jyu4-2 gai1 lap1 caau2 faan6) - again for my mom because it's her favorite, and it was perfect. Not too oily, tinged rice grains that easily separated, and they didn't skip on the salted fish. I also picked up their Hong Kong style chow mein, and I imagine it's exactly what you'd get in Hong Kong alongside your dim sum.
So bit thumbs up! I definitely will go back to try other dishes like their scallion noodles, hot shoyu ginger chicken and dry style beef chow fun (so hard to get a good one!). And maybe I'll pick up a combination plate: Beef Broccoli, Sweet Sour Sparerib Ginger Chicken, Crispy Gau Gee Fried Rice. Can't go wrong with these!
(I only do take-out at Golden Eagle, which is always fast. Definitely don't go there for the atmosphere.)

We were there for lunch on Wednesday. A guy came in yelling and the guy who served us yelled back and they had a shouting match in the middle of the restaurant. The staff totally ignored us because they were more interested in the fight . Later they went outside to yell at each other some more.
Best Black Bean Chicken ever!
The Cantonese food here is consistently excellent. The owners really care.
Be sure to try the gua gee appetizer. Delicious! Excellent Chinese food.

Good quality American Cantonese food is harder and harder to find these days but Golden Eagle is still serving up your favorites. Good classic dishes, quick and efficient service to go. I even kind of enjoy the aging interior, at least the Anthony Bourdain infected part of my brain appreciates the aesthetic.
