50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Kailua

“It might just be a fast food spot, but the workers made it feel so well put together. Everything was organized and clean, and the staff were very respectful, well mannered and super nice. The food came out hot and fresh with good portions. The combination of great staff and tasty food made this an easy five star visit.“

“The food here is delicious. I love the lunch or dinner plates which gives me a variety but I’ve also had their wor gau gee min and the pork and abalone soup. All were very good. The people here are very nice and once when I can in for min the cook kept refilling my bowl with broth. It was so yummy!!“

“Tried to order online a basic dish, oyster sauce chicken with cake noodle and couldn't. They have banners in front of their restaurant advertising it yet I couldn't order it online.

They might want to get a new webmaster.

Update: changing my rating to 5 stars. Picked up my order. It was ready when I walked on. Still and friendly lady at the register. I've ordered Oyster Sauce Cake Noodle from here for decades. It was okay but not great. Its my favorite so I kept ordering it.

After several years of not going back, today I decided to try again.

Wow! It was totally different. Nice meaty pieces of chicken, lots of greens which is usual for every place ive ordered this. Good cake noodles though I prefer them to be a bit more cakey. And an affordable price.

Could be the best I've had. Will be back!“

“I ate here on my recent trip to Kona. I was happy to find the same menu items that I’m used to on the mainland. The quality and taste of the food were also in line with what I’m used to at home. This place seems like a good value for money compared to some other places I ate at in Kona. I didn’t get a fortune cookie with my meal though, which I’m used to getting at home. Not a big deal, but I noticed.“

“Food was good and came out quickly. Portion sizes were pretty good, and cooking seemed like it was more home-style and less tourist focused, which was appreciated. I got the beef chow fun, the person that I went with got the beef rice soup.“

“Stopped here for lunch while visiting the island. Hole in the wall family run spot with a small wait. Was definitely worth it though. Did the communal eating with a couple who ordered xtra spicy compared to my regular beef noodle soup. We were all sniffling the entire time 🥲“

“Had such a great food experience. Everyone was friendly. For being complete outsiders, we were made to feel like family.“

“Great taste and worth to eat👍👍👍“

“The quality of your dishes is very high on customer satisfaction!“

“self rotating skewers were so delicious and fun to watch. side dishes were amzing too“

“Very good, hope is consistent in taste and amount for the price. Far today Tuesday Jun 19th sister Geri’s 85th an possibly last as in Hospice mould so God willing see Wongs Again. Next week. Mahalo & Aloha Uncle Wally 808“

“This is our favorite place to eat in all of Honolulu! The friendliest service, and the food is amazing. Don’t miss the cake noodles with minute chicken and the pork with sweet and sour cabbage. Wonton soup with noodles and char siu fried rice are a must- have too. Oh and the salt and pepper prawns! This is a must-visit if you’re on Oahu.“

“We stayed here 2 years ago & liked it so much we came back! Across the street from Diamondhead Park, right on Kalakaua Avenue, it's easy to get to & just far enough off the main drag to not feel like you're in the middle of everyone on Waikiki Beach. Our room had a lovely lanai with peek-a-boo ocean views & great views of Diamondhead. We requested & received a wheelchair accessible room with plenty of room to maneuver. The room also had a small fridge & a microwave, so we could store our leftovers & a little stash of breakfast. Lovely place! Definitely recommend. 👍“

“Simple, shareable, strongly spiced food, reasonably priced but will make you want to drink. Cozy, maybe 10 tables total. Bonus points for being open late but that will mean rowdy tables. Party room next door overwhelms the ambiance with skull-numbing, throbbing bass. Limited parking.“

“I was visiting Oahu with my husband for a few days, and we always look for good Chinese food spots wherever we travel. Mian was amazing and definitely hit the spot. The noodles were chewy and perfect! We got the beef noodle soup, the pork dumplings, and the hot and sour sweet potato noodles. All of them were very good, highly recommend! If we lived here, we definitely would order from this establishment all of the time.“

“If you are looking for some Cantonese BBQ while in Honolulu, you must stop here and pick up some of this guys meat. I got a half pound of BBQ pork (char siu), half pound of roast pork (siu yuk), and a half a chicken (see yao gai). All of the dishes were well prepared, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection! You will not find anything to complain about when this meat is in your mouth! I went for dimsum at a nearby stall, and chanced upon Meimei. I took a chance and I discovered a master! Please visit here and enjoy! I will return!“

“This is my go to for the office! The always hit the spot! Love their options. I always arrive early and the open a little early to accommodate. I love them! Fast, Friendly!“

“You most definitely want to order ahead on those special days like valentines days. If you don't order pre-order pre pay online , you need to expect there's going to be a line waiting out the door. AND you want to have 1 driver and 1 person to pickup, (2 people in the car), because the size of the parking lot is not quite the capacity to the sometimes sudden influx of customers.“

“great ono stuff. love it thete. parking sucks tho“

“Wow wow wow wow wow!! The dim sum was very delicious and the sizes were astronomical! I’ve never seen taro puffs, har gow (shrimp balls/dumplings), fried shrimp balls so generous before!! The flavors were all classic dim sum flavors, very delicious. I’ve had dim sum in many places down the west coast and east coast and I’ll tell you this may be top five for me! Sit down order your dim sum on the order slip and wait for the goodness to arrive at your table. Get everything, don’t even think about it. You’ll regret not ordering more! I promise.“

“The food was amazing and everything we expected after we saw the video on You Tube. The prices and portions are good and filling.“

“Went here with my Mom and we both loved it! I ordered the satay beef noodle soup, and I was surprised by the amount of noodle options you could choose from. Was tasty and very filling. There were a lot of Cantonese speakers there so it felt like it was pretty authentic lol. The workers were really nice and refilled our waters multiple times which I appreciated. They have a shared bathroom with some other businesses that’s outside, entrance is locked so they’ll open it for you but it’s pretty clean.“

“January 2026: Some workers barely speak and understand English. Depending on who is working the front of house, it may affect your experience and your order. But they are all very friendly. Smoothies are made with fresh fruits, not powder, and you can really taste the difference. The prices are all reasonable for the amount and quality you get. They have two tables that can seat 4 and one table that can seat 6. Otherwise, it's mostly a takeout type of restaurant. It's recommended to stand in line to order even if you're gonna dine-in.“

“While the food isn't the best I've had, it's definitely worth the money. The food was tasty, but it wasn't the best garlic chicken I've eaten or the best fried rice or the best hamburger steak. However, it was good enough that I would eat there again. It was nice that I could order online especially because I knew there would be little to no places to park. My order was ready when I arrived.“

“Good food that is reasonably priced with large portions!
The menu has a ton of things on it and we only tried three things (crab rangoon, asparagus with shrimp, and honey orange chicken). I would definitely get the asparagus with shrimp again, it was so good!
The honey orange chicken lacked much of the orange flavor, but it was decent. We will come back for sure, probably with a bigger group to share lots of things.“

“I love finding these small joints that are turning out delicious and generous food at reasonable prices. I wanted to get the braised beef noodle, but they were out so I (reluctantly) ordered char sui noodle. I'm not a big fan of char sui because it normally is too sweet and fatty, but this place really turned me on my head! The meat was tender, and caramelized/ roasted to have the perfect amount of char taste (the picture is a half portion - it was so yummy I just scarfed it down quickly!). The marinade wasn't sweet, and they gave a nice portion separate from the noodles. The soup was piping hot and satisfying, full of noodles and veggies. My kid really liked their pork hash, which was big, plump, and generously filled. We also had the rice cake (it tastes like potu), tea cookies (big hit with my sweet-tooth hubby), and almond cookies. I'll be going back to get that braised beef noodle & eat dim sum one of these days! The inside isn't much too look at, but give it a shot - you & your belly will not regret it.“

“One of several eateries at Don Quijote. Roast duck and roast pork available hanging on display! Dim sum, plate lunch and dessert 😋. Just happen to try the char siu bao (with green onion)and it was very delicious (not fatty nor greasy) Recommended choice!“

“My family is from Hunan and can confidently say this tastes like home. I’ve never had Hunan food that even resembled anything close to the authenticity of Shiyu’s dishes. I’ve grown up eating Changsha style stinky tofu and this tastes the closest to home outside of China.“

“Awesome and tasty Vegetarian food, and I'm not vegetarian 😁“

“AMAZING. Great service - even better food!!!! made fresh“

“Machine was not to full capacity on this visit, mostly desert type streamed only, but it didn't stop me from ordering two dozen. I will admit apprehension at first...the result, however, was amazing.

Staff here was great, at least the last two times I visited. I had a young tattooed girl that was extremely nice and courteous. The place was busy, both the manapua and food side but the line moved rather quickly. Not always the case at some if the other locations.

Parking was available even for a busy restaurant. This will now be my go to Chun Wah Kam from now on every visit to Oahu“

“A typical looking traditional dim sum place. I ordered some basic dim sums to go and they were fine, but nothing special. Each dim sum is about $6. It took a little longer than expected to get my small order ready, but it wasn’t bad. Servers were very friendly.

Vegetarian options: Some options were available.

Parking: Park in the adjacent building at a dollar per hour with the first 30 minutes free.“

“Overload Burger lives up to its name — a delicious, generously loaded burger that hits the spot. Juicy patty, great toppings, and just the right amount of messy. Perfect for when you're craving something hearty and satisfying. Definitely recommend!“

“If you're dining here, don't skip the Egg Drop Soup. The broth is rich and comforting, and the delicate strands of egg make every spoonful satisfying. It has a clean, fresh taste that feels both nourishing and delicious. A perfect start to an excellent meal.“

“You must try the crab! You will not be disappointed.“

“The food was extremely authentic, HUGE portion sizes. Was very pleasantly surprised that we could find such authentic hunan cuisine in Honolulu! The service was quick and servers are very kind, had great conversations while enjoying our meal!“

“Genuinely the best roast duck & roast pork we've ever had. Some restaurants either get roast duck/pork right or they don't at all. This place absolutely does it right.

We got the roast duck with tripe & roast pork with pig stomach bentos. The duck & pork was juicy through & through. Pork was perfectly crispy without trying to cut the roof of my mouth. The sauce that comes with was flavorful without being too salty.

The tripe & pig stomach were both amazing as well & not too chewy or tough. Staff was friendly & service was quick. We almost passed on this place but so glad we stopped by!“

“This is a solid choice for vegan Chinese food. It’s very hard to come by on the whole island. With that being said, the staff is very knowledgeable about veganism. Everything is labeled vegetarian but most of it is vegan. You just need to ask the server. My favorite is the garlic chicken, volcano ribs, and spring rolls. My husband loves the kung po shrimp! The only con is honestly the air conditioning. It’s super hot. Updated from previous review on 2026-07-11“

“TL;DR: This is a hidden gem in Chinatown! Authentic, old fashioned massive portion of Cheung fun for an amazing price! You won't be disappointed if you check it out!

We stumbled on this place while checking out Chinatown in Oahu.
This is not a restaurant, this is a Cheung fun factory, they make the fresh rice rolls wholesale for other restaurants!
We made soup noodles out of their plain noodles (look fun) it was incredibly fresh and delicious. The noodles held their shape, they are made in the very old fashioned Cantonese way!
We really appreciate the attention to authenticity, much better than all of the Chinatowns in other parts of the world that we have visited!
We loved our first visit so much, we returned to buy 2 char siu and 1 ha mi Cheung fun!
They are massive and for the price, it's an insane deal! They're tasty, they're fresh , they have the perfect bouncy texture! They did have small packets of soy sauce to eat with it as well!
It's just like the old fashioned, dim sum restaurant in Asia.
I don't think you can find this anywhere else!
This is a hidden gem, and we hope they will continue to be here for a long time!“

“Had the dandan noodles. Was spicy but not overbearing. On this day the kitchen was a little slow.“

“This little hidden gem is the best! We visited this centrally located spot during our trip to Oahu. It is a mom and pop owned shop with delicious, fresh, and authentic Chinese food. Our favorites were the potstickers were so fresh and crispy (they make them homemade!) and the beef and broccoli.
We went for dinner. The service was also super fast - they were super attentive so great to grab a quick bite for lunch or takeout. It is really clean inside and a very welcome environment.
Highly recommend!!“

“I like their Hainanese chicken but their pork hash is the best! my friends love the pig ear.“

“Had a wonderful family meal here. The woman working did a great job taking care of the front of the house by herself on a busy Friday with 2 full 12 top tables, a couple of random walk-ins plus lots of take out orders. BYOB and BYOD (dessert) 😊 The order-ahead honey BBQ pork ribs are a MUST! We brought in our own fish and lobster, which they did a fantastic job preparing for us 😋 It's always great dining with a large group at a Chinese restaurant because you get a chance to try lots of dishes. Everything was delicious!“

“They need to make the sign of the restaurant a little bigger because everyone needs to know about this store. The portions are HUGE for the prices and the food is so good. The owners are viet-chinese and that really shows in their flavors. I highly recommend asking them what their specials are and ordering that.

It's a mom and pop shop and I support those.“

“This little “hole-in-the-wall” I’ve been coming to for years, possibly decades, but I haven’t been since new ownership took over. I was hesitant because the previous owners I’ve gotten to know over the years and they put so much effort into their food… I’m happy to report that the food is just as good!I ordered the soup noodles with pork and pickled vegetables and it was like I remembered. The soup base was delicious and the noodles cooked perfectly. I also order the salt & pepper chicken wings for good measure and those were great too!If you have a craving for HK-style cafe food, this is the spot to visit!“

“CHINATOWN EXPRESS WINDWARD MALL FOOD COURT
Everything I have ordered from this restaurant so far has been great. What blows my mind is the amount of food they give. Very, very generous servings. The service is fast and always served with courtesy and patience. I’m a picky eater so I ask a lot of questions about the ingredients, they always patiently answer. You won’t be disappointed ENJOY!“

“My family and I went to WAH Kung in Mapunapuna for years, birthdays anniversaries going away and more, my dear late sister inlaw worked at First Hawaiian Bank for years and my brother would meet her there for roast duck won ton mein🙏 on a weekly basis🩷 UNCLE had been the highlight of the restaurant atmosphere service quality of food… hands down best roast duck!! I was told the Kalakuau location is exactly the same and yes UNCLE TOO👍Mahalo!!“

“An oasis in Moiliili. Great service, old style local Chinese Restaurant. value and lots of parking. Take out available.“

“Food is authentic Hong Kong Style breakfast fare - jook, beef brisket noodles, roast meats, milk tea, toast

Service is exactly what you expect from a dirty hole in the wall greasy spoon type joint, thats why I love it.

Atmosphere - see above description for Sevice.“

“Came here for lunch to celebrate my Mom's bff Birthday. We invited a couple of her friends as well.

We had a delicious eight course luncheon.

Honey BBQ Ribs, Singapore Noodles, Concubine Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Kau Yuk with Taro, Steamed Fish Fillet with Soft Tofu, and Stir Fried Ung Choy with Harm Har.

Needless to say, we had plenty of leftovers for takeout. The ladies enjoyed the food. All the dishes were prepared well and great flavor. Price was inexpensive considering we got a lot of food.“
