I was not disappointed. Good portions. Good taste. Fast and friendly service. This place has been here since the 20th century. A mainstay of pearl highlands.“

“Delish fast inexpensive casual fresh food served with love. My hubby and I love this little ´hole in the wall’ family run resto. Fantastic house made noodles. Wonderful broth. Healthy and clean food in simple surroundings in the heart of China Town.“

“A very clean restaurant. Everything tasted freshly made from the vegetables to the soup dishes. Seems like most patrons ordered soup dishes. Had the pork/noodles soup dish and it was delicious. The ong choy stir fried vegetables was some of the best I’ve ever had.“

“The well known, popular place next to Sing Cheong closed last year so we've been going here. Prices are a little higher than the one a few blocks away but it's still very good. Friendly service, right across from parking lot too. Best to eat the roast pork and duck right away so the skin is still crispy“

“Lam’s Kitchen – A Traditional Chinese Noodle Shop in the Heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown

Lam’s Kitchen is a small, old-fashioned noodle shop nestled in the bustling Chinatown district of Honolulu. The place seats only about 30 people, so even though we came during a regular lunch hour, my family and I had to wait around 20 minutes to get a table.

I ordered the fish noodle soup – the broth was clear and light, with a clean, subtle flavor. The fish was not fried but cooked directly in the soup, making the meat firm, fresh, and pleasantly mild. It’s a good choice for those who enjoy traditional, light flavors.

My husband and child had the stir-fried beef rice noodles – a more memorable dish. The wide, chewy noodles were stir-fried hot with tender slices of beef, and the dish carried a distinct smoky aroma from the wok – adding a layer of depth and authenticity.

Lam’s Kitchen may not offer groundbreaking cuisine, but it delivers an honest, traditional Chinese dining experience. If you have time while visiting Chinatown, it’s worth trying at least once.“

“Great little spot for enjoying a family Sunday evening dinner. Meals here should be shared family style. Everyone order their desired dish then share it with the family. The center of the table even spins for easy family sharing. I must say I am now addicted to their lemon chicken. We had two orders of it. What a delicious 🤤 spot.“

“but watch out for da guy begging fo money..I offered him half moom or pok hash n he declined food only want money..forget that..“

“Lee Ho Fook is a fantastic spot for authentic flavors! The fish cake soup was absolutely delicious—rich and flavorful, making for a comforting start to the meal. The mini chicken cake noodle with gravy was also amazing, with perfectly cooked noodles and a savory gravy that ties everything together. Highly recommend for anyone craving satisfying and well-prepared dishes!“

“Aloha; this spot has been around for years but this was my first time enjoying thier establishment with my family. The service was quiet but instant, food was served the quickest I have ever seen in a Chinese spot. The food was perfect, cake noodles were perfect, Mongolian beef tender, Egg Blossom soup was unreal good and Peking duck was perfectly tender and moist. There are only about 32 seats available but most people do take out. It's super old school look made me feel like it was the 80 again enjoying it with family...I loved it. You have to try it. This is how I remember traditional Chinese food.“

“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!“

“Must try Dim Sum! BEST CHAR SIU BUNS EVER!!! The shu Mai and shrimp and chive dumplings were absolutely incredible as well! All the ingredients taste so fresh and and were perfectly assembled with such AMAZING flavors. I cannot wait to go back! Definitely try the desserts too! I would gain 5lbs a week if I lived closer.“

“My son and I walked in for a late lunch. The atmosphere was clean, bright and lively. The staff greeted us with a smile and invited us to sit down. I ordered Lunch Plate B, and it was delicious and the proportions were generous! My son ordered Egg Flower Soup which we shared, also yummy! I can't remember what his entree was but he said it was delicious!“

“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.“

“The service was good. The food was ok. The price is high though, which I expected to get better tasting food but it wasn't the case. I went in because I watched a YouTuber who said good things about them, but I didn't think they were excellent. The staff was good at what they did.“

“I finally walked into this place, and I am so happy that I did. The food was absolutely delicious. Not only did it taste wonderful, but it was visually appealing.
The service was terrific. She was fast & attentive.
I love this place!“

“I had their minute chicken cake noodle. Probably the best iteration of the dish I’ve had in Hawaii: delicious sauce, tender chicken, and superb quality noodles. However, the prices of their menu seem to change based on the cashier of the day. Kinda sketch.“

“People are sleeping on Dimsum Village because let me tell you, this spot was a hit. Found DV as I wondering around Chinatown and so glad that I did. They sell simply dim-sum, and buns at great prices. I got few of their pork and custard buns and they tasted amazing. At only 1.75$ each, you can’t go wrong with that. The pork buns were soft with plenty of nice charsu filling and custard buns tasted like they were made with duck eggs that was excellent. They were some of the best buns that I’ve had in Hawaii.“

“selection, value, and taste.“

“Garlic pepper whole fried shrimp,selected dim sum and bowl of rice,yum 😋

“The best Chinese Lobster seafood restaurant in Honolulu. The price is very reasonable compare to other areas closer to Waikīkī. Servers and bathroom were great, clean and very superior guest services. We came back to eat the 2nd time before heading to the airport. I heard servers spoke Korean not Chinese but great food and services overall. Highly recommend!!!“

“Ate fried rice with 1 choice for $9.37 tax included at U Choice In restaurant at the Don Quijote on Kaheka St. It is an easy choice when I am not in the mood for anything much. They give good amount so it is filling and it is very convenient.“

“My Mom is from Hong Kong and speaks both Mandarin & Cantonese and knows her food. We grew up in HNL and it’s been hard to find good Chinese. King’s kills it! Very authentic menu, vegetables that are cooked perfectly al dente and fresh and their roast duck as good as it gets. Best Chinese food in HNL!!!“

“This is one of my go to Chinese restaurants for quick yet satisfying meal. The deep fried fish and the Char SIU fried rice were amazing!

Parking: Even though the parking lot is always crowded I seem to always find a perfect spot.

Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant, all are welcome.“

“Best live Maine lobster in town with the right price!“

“This place had many different things I had not tried before. The jellyfish for example. It was better than I thought. Their duck was excellent too!“

“Very clean location, service was great and friendly. The food we ordered was a bit watered down not as flavorful as other places. They have a buffet 7 days a week between 11am-2pm for 24.00 haven't tried it yet bit nay try it for the 2nd attempt of food taste.“

“Ate here with my spouse. Had what was similar to egg rolls with chicken if they were steamed. My husband had 3 buns with BBQ pork inside. He said they were delicious. We shared a large pot of egg drop soup, I had to add a little salt. I had chicken with vegetables, pretty good, some of the pieces were a little fatty. Nothing oily. Polite, attentive service. Bill was about $42 and we left them $50. Dated but clean place. Lots of supplies on tables and counters. Group of LOUD men enjoying themselves but part of the ambiance I guess. All in all, it did the trick.“
