It has a similar atmosphere, but it turns out that they are a hardworking shop with no breaks from opening in the morning to closing in the evening.

For my friend who used to live in Hong Kong for a long time, and for us who have lived in Taiwan, it feels somewhat nostalgic ✨
I've had dinner here several times, and so far I haven't missed a meal ❤︎
The fish dishes, noodles, and stir-fried vegetables are all delicious♪

Every time I go there, the restaurant is reserved and I worry that it will run out someday.
Maybe it's busy during lunch or Uber eats...?

The lady at the shop is also friendly, and although she may not be as polite, I like her because she's easy to get used to😊

However...I remember that when I drank wine, it was kind of expensive 😅 I recommend checking the price before ordering 👍
I always forget to take pictures...💦

The lemon chicken was 3 stars, the egg drop soup on a cold and rainy day was very nice and I’d give it 4 stars, and the quick takeout preparation and value being it to 4 stars overall. The chicken was fine but not very flavorful, decent quality chicken. The portions weren’t huge but that was fine, it was a bit more than a single serving of chicken, and a small side soup—it’s basically one meal, and it costs about what one meal should. It feels expensive, but compared to everything else on Oahu it’s a normal meal, and compared to other Chinese takeout it’s nice to have the option to not get a ton of food. I tried to order hot and sour soup without pork and they couldn’t do that, so that was one downside.

Went for an early lunch. I was the only one. The menu has a variety of dishes. The lady was friendly. She let me charge my phone. I ordered the orange chicken and rice plate. It came with hot and sour soup. The soup was great. The orange chicken was meh. The chicken itself was bite-size pieces of breast meat. The batter was nice. I thought I could taste garlic(?) on the chicken. The orange sauce didn't taste like orange, or anything really. The rice was typical white people rice, but it wasn't up to my standard. She gave me a lot of water refills. Maybe it's a decent place. I wish the potstickers weren't Japanese gyoza.

Very nice woman works here. The food is close to the home-cooked feeling and is very comforting. Overall, the food is good, the restaurant is clean, and the staff is very nice.

I love this restaurant!The seasoning is just right, neither too strong nor too bland.The hostess is always pleasant and my husband and I can enjoy our meals comfortably.There is a parking lot so it is easily accessible.

Oyster Jjamppong tastes good. The other dishes are delicious, and the mattang (boiled sweet potato dipped in malt syrup) served as dessert is also delicious. The owner is friendly and has a Korean feel.

Nice service and reasonable price.But I don’t think the foods taste good. It was like Chinese home style cooking. And the restaurant also has weird smell that’s unpleasant for me.

Canceled my delivery order after 45 minutes with no other notice. Won’t be ordering from them again.
