Kukui Cafe is a beloved Hong Kong style cafe in Hawaii, known for their authentic dishes like beef brisket noodles and won ton. As the OG cha Chaan teng spot in Hawaii, it remains a favorite among locals for classics like jing wonton and bacon egg sandwich. The cafe is a small, cozy spot next to the Nuuanu River, with limited seating for around 12 to 15 people. Despite getting busy, the wok-made dishes deliver great flavors. New ownership continues to maintain the delicious quality, with dishes like soup noodles with pork and pickled vegetables, and salt & pepper chicken wings that satisfy longtime customers. The won ton noodle soup is especially tasty, featuring homemade won tons, bok choy, and noodles. Kukui Cafe offers a good variety of Hong Kong style noodles, soups, and drinks, along with American fare for breakfast starting at 8 am. The casual atmosphere allows for a chill dining experience, making it the go-to spot for a taste of HK-style cafe food.
