I recently visited Papa’s Cafe, and I have to say, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food was fantastic—everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and had that perfect, homemade touch. I was also impressed by how quickly our meals were served; even though the place was busy, they managed to get our food out fast without compromising quality. We had the black pepper beef steak, spinach garlic, and butter garlic shrimp. If you’re looking for a spot with delicious food and quick service, I’d highly recommend Papa’s!

The service here sucks your energy dry. Went here for my first meal in Hawaii and the staff was extremely rude. They straight up ignore you if your non-Asian.

Typical Cantonese style Chinese restaurant. Their Cake Noodle is made earlier during the day so it may not be fresh and crispy as you would like.

Really good Chinese food. Service is fine. Small not much but some chairs. Maybe 16 people at most can fit inside.

This is my go to spot for food in Chinatown, especially since it is the very few places that sells Singapore laksa on the island. The restaurant has dine in or take out window at the Mauna Kea Market side and its basic, no fuss Chinatown style is what I love about it. The staff are nice and easy, but do expect slower service because they're usually very busy. There are a lot of options for you to choose from, the portions are very generous so I recommend that you share the entree. There are only 5 sets of dining tables on the store, you can also take it to go and eat at the picnic tables on the Mauna kea market. I usually have the seafood laksa ($14.99) and today I tried the butterfly pea lemonade which is refreshing on a hot day.

I ordered and specifically asked for it to be made very spicy. Unfortunately the woman and man on the phone insisted they made it spicy so it wasn't resolved.

(Translated by Google) Their beef stir-fried rice noodles and Xinzhou stir-fried rice noodles are almost as good as San Francisco's ? We did not give 5 stars because their chicken is a bit dry. But basically some of their food is suitable for our taste.TIP: We write notes in Chinese in DoorDash.Their Beef Chow Funn and Singapore Vermicelli tasted like the ones in the San Francisco Bay Area ? We didn’t give 5 ? stars because their House Special Chicken was a bit dry. But overall few of their dishes suited our tastes.TIP: We used Chinese to add notes to the chef in DoorDash.(Original)他们的牛肉炒河粉和新洲炒米粉跟旧金山的差不多一样好吃? 我们没有给5?星因为他们的鸡肉有一点干。但是基本上他们有些食物是合适我们的品味。TIP: 我们是在DoorDash里面用中文来写备注。Their Beef Chow Funn and Singapore Vermicelli tasted like the ones in the San Francisco Bay Area ?
