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!“

“Very good food at reasonable prices. The large portions could not be eaten, we had to take them with us. Huge selection of everything. Excellent fried shrimp. If you want to eat well and cheaply, I can only warmly recommend it.
We had to come back here again because the food is excellent and the prices are excellent.“

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

“We were pleased to find this place - I had the mapo tofu (with pork, medium spicy) which was VERY good and could feed two with the suggested - and essential - side order of rice for the tasty sauce. Some places in Hawaii have bland food for too much money - this is not like that, which is fabulous. Very tasty, well seasoned, I would totally order this again and look forward to it. She got the seaweed salad and a specialty sushi roll, which were good too.
Fast, friendly service rounds it out.

Definitely recommend!

Parking: There’s a good sized free lot on the next street up away from the waterfront and a block or so away, but it was pretty packed. We got lucky and found a spot. They do validate parking at another parking lot, it’s worth calling and asking where *before* parking your car if you can’t get a spot in the free municipal lot.“

“The food here is delicious. Their barbecue short ribs and beef are delicious. The entrees are well seasoned and also plentiful. This place was a hidden gem that we happened to come across while on vacation. It wound up being the best cuisine on the island. They have an abundance of options that they can also cater for bigger events.“

“Best Chinese food in Kona. It's hard to find good Chinese on the neighbor islands. O'ahu has lots of choices. But this definitely quenched my Chinese food craving. Their roast duck is meaty and yummy. I also love they have hamha dishes. They will even prepare any fresh fish you bring in. I don't usually like shrimp canton, but the way they make it is awesome. It's not all batter and a small shriveled shrimp. Rather, they butterfly and batter so you get nice meaty shrimp with the right amount of batter.“

“I've been coming here for years. When it's on point, there is honestly no better value in all of Kona. Even when the food is off or not optimal it's still a solid choice. The service is very robotic, but usually polite. I like the new loyalty system.

Vegetarian options: There are tofu and other vegetarian dishes.

Parking: During lunch peak parking can be a little frustrating but there is almost always a spot in the strip mall parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids meals that kids will eat. High chairs available

Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps up to the sidewalk although they are a ways away.“

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