8 Best Chinese Restaurants near Kailua Kona

“Fireart Cuisine has some of the best Asian food we have ever had! We are on a short visit to Hawaii, but we’ve already been there twice - the food is so good we had to come back! Both the beef and broccoli and the shrimp and broccoli have delicious flavor with perfectly cooked broccoli. The braised green beans and chicken (mild) was also delicious. And for desert, this was our first time ever trying fried ice-cream - delicious and so much fun! Staff are super kind and on the ball. Everyone seems to want to put out the best - for those who love great food, this little spot is an awesome find!“

“The restaurant is located near Kona Airport, and the front desk is run by a pair of twin brothers. It serves typical Hawaiian-style American Chinese food with very generous portions. Everything is served with disposable tableware, which I find convenient. The taste leans toward the local Hawaiian flavor and is quite good. Next time I come to the Big Island, I’ll definitely stop by here after landing—have a meal and then head to the Costco next door for shopping.“

“We had a Birthday party there. Excellent food. Staff was super friendly and so helpful.“

“The place is a lot better than expected. We also got the Chinese food. It came in big portions and was well done. We spent long time admiring the crazy drone aerial photography videos trying to figure out if they were ai or real. Nice atmosphere and it filled up by 9pm. Seems like lots of people around here know it's good. We've been in two nights in a row.“

“I vacationed here for a week in September 2025 and Kona Chinese BBQ was so good that I had to get it twice! I ordered the Chicken Katsu via DoorDash both times, leaving special instructions for extra Katsu sauce and fried rice instead of white rice - and both times they followed through! Very generous portions and everything was absolutely delicious, it was exactly the experience I was hoping for. Would recommend if you love chicken katsu and fried rice like I do!“

“Excellent food. Friendly wait staff. Good value for money. We had the chicken and corn soup, roast duck, and fried rice. The first two items were exceptional- as good as you can find in mainland US in a big metro. The fried rice was decent.

This is a way better restaurant than what the 4.0 rating suggests.“

“Went here on 4th of July for lunch and it wasn’t busy at all. But the workers kept busy and actually was working and cleaning and cooking; they didn’t just stand around. The staff working was very pleasant and nice. Had great customer service. Greeted us as we walked in.“

“Love their food and great portions for the money. I’ve recommended it to others and they’ve enjoyed it as well.“
