Nice selection of fun and interesting brews!
The best crispy roast pork I've ever had, the roast beef is also top tier.
The poke is next to none!

We visited Chinatown yesterday and looked forward to order the beef flank and tendon look fun soup!
As I was ready to savor the soup, I noticed a weird stuff floating on the soup surface. I realized it’s a cockroach leg!!! Showed it to my husband , my aunt and the waitress. I asked her (the waitress) to tell me if its part of the soup 😓 She said it looks like a bean sprout🫣. I said NO. It’s not. They offered if I want another bowl of it. I kindly said no. I could have made a scene in there and scream there’s roach leg in the soup. But I didn’t. All I received was “I am sorry for that”.
We all make mistakes, but when it comes to food being serve to people, we need to be very careful.

The rest of the food we ordered was good.
But who knows what’s really in there.
Very unsanitary.🫢

However, my appetite yesterday was ruined.
Definitely not coming back.
Just for safety of our gut health.

The food was very comforting, reminded me of home. I got the beef look fun soup and added wontons. The chinese doughnut was also very good paired with the soup.

We got the chicken string bean rice dish and beef noodles with the addition of shrimp wonton. Both were good, not memorable.

Lam’s Kitchen – A Traditional Chinese Noodle Shop in the Heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown

Lam’s Kitchen is a small, old-fashioned noodle shop nestled in the bustling Chinatown district of Honolulu. The place seats only about 30 people, so even though we came during a regular lunch hour, my family and I had to wait around 20 minutes to get a table.

I ordered the fish noodle soup – the broth was clear and light, with a clean, subtle flavor. The fish was not fried but cooked directly in the soup, making the meat firm, fresh, and pleasantly mild. It’s a good choice for those who enjoy traditional, light flavors.

My husband and child had the stir-fried beef rice noodles – a more memorable dish. The wide, chewy noodles were stir-fried hot with tender slices of beef, and the dish carried a distinct smoky aroma from the wok – adding a layer of depth and authenticity.

Lam’s Kitchen may not offer groundbreaking cuisine, but it delivers an honest, traditional Chinese dining experience. If you have time while visiting Chinatown, it’s worth trying at least once.

Duck soup was well seasoned

Very good and authentic Hongkong comfort food as in fan, rice and noodles. The food came quickly and the sitting area was small, but clean.

We got the chow fun with choysum, fried donuts and beef and tendon look fun in soup. The soup dish was good, comforting but leaning towards too salty for us. The chow fun was lacking smokiness, overpowered by the sauce. Texture of noodle was amazing tho. The donuts were great too. Service was quick. We sat next to a larger group and had to share condiments which was a little awkward.

Lam's Kitchen, located in Chinatown, offers authentic Chinese cuisine, which was a pleasant discovery. While the staff may not be overly friendly, they ensure your needs are met. It's a popular spot, with locals often recommending it as one of their favorites. I savored every bite of the wonton noodle soup and the spring beans with chicken on rice. They're quite generous with the air conditioning, so bringing a jacket or opt for soupy dishes might be wise. Additionally, the staff can converse in Cantonese, enhancing the authentic experience. Regarding the decor, there wasn't much to comment on, and the sound level was kept at a reasonable level.

Overall, I had a positive experience and would consider returning in the future.
