Cantonese Restaurants near Pearl City, HI

“Went here because they serve roast duck, roast pork , oyster sauce chicken and cake noodles. Ordered the oyster sauce chicken over cake noodles and sie yuk Chinese roast pork. 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.“

“First Time to this location walked in and was greeted and the wonderful smell of food was amazing I asked to view the menu decided on take out. I gotten Minute Chicken w/Cake Noodle they separated the sauce so the noodles wouldn’t get soggy the taste was so so Ono. The Char Siu was so juicy soft and super delicious. I will be coming back here for sure.“

“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!“

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

“I love how it is hole in the wall. And it's quite hard to find and hidden. As well parking is terrible lol.
.
Parking basically street parking. I found parking across the street with a handicap spot. The parking is terrible and have to make a few circles to find one.
.
How to order? Basically order anything you see on the menu. If they have it they can mix and match to your liking. The problem is I wanted beef tendon, mom wanted the pig feet, and we both want noodles skinny kind and won ton. But we don't want to order too much as we are doing back to back food experiences. Mind you not we already went to 3 back to back foodie spots lol. At this point we just trying out a new spot.
.
So we got a plate of skinny noodle tossed with beef tendon and pig feet. Also a plain won ton soup.
.
Won ton - just a dozen of won ton and plain broth. The Won ton has a bouncy texture to the meat. The shrimp was bouncy too. The flavor was authentic with the dry fish powder in it.
.
Beef tendon and pigs feet is nothing special with flavor more just for the texture.
.
Noodles - as soon my chop sticks end touches it I knew it didn't pass my authentic bougie chinese texture for bouncy. The noodle was clumped together and was not bouncy slippery texture. It wasn't bad or good just meh like still missing the texture. The love and sweat is put into making it tho. I really appreciate that. The Chef did a great job just my personal preference.
.
Hot chili oil is amazing tho. It has a nice kick and was spicy. It went well with everything. I loved it and it was memorable. I love the condiments on the table with the hot muster and white peppers and chili paste and etc.
.
Overall I had a wonderful experience. It was great to take mama to her own food when she grew up in hkg. I know the authentic of hkg won ton noodles and when I mentioned the dry fish powder in the won ton, the owner knew I know how to eat and no further questions asked lol. It was funny to everyone that a ABC knows his won ton seriously. Thanks for reading and hope this helps. Have a yelptastic day.“

“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.“

“Small hole in the wall chinese Restaurant at Honolulu Chinatown. Good quality food at reasonable price..“

“Was doing some errands and decided to grab something to eat, had their lunch plate an was pleasantly surprised was delicious. Also opted for the Friday special crispy gou gee chow mein, it was flavored nicely,but the mein was more of the thicker or spaghetti type of noodles and was fair.
Overall 1st time visiting this establishment 🤔 may return to try some other dishes before I can honestly say ,that this is a spot to bring guest and family too. Mahalo“

“Food was wonderful! I don't eat this food often, but the lady who owns this restaurant was very helpful in helping me order since I wasn't familiar with the menu, and it came out just how I wanted it. A great experience. I would highly recommend stopping by if you have the chance.“

“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..“

“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.“

“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!“

“According to my mom, born and raised in Taiwan, she would bet that this is the best dim sum place on the island.
It is definitely a popular spot and the place is crowded at lunchtime even on a weekday; service is fast and food arrives within minutes before you've even had a chance to sip your hot tea.“

“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!“

“Was greeted by a kind gentleman behind the counter. He saw us looking and opened up the steam basket to show us more options but wasn't pushing us to by his food. I was already full but decided to get the fried pork dumplings. I'm so glad I did. Omg it was fresh, hot, crispy and the filling tasted just right. This place costs a lot less than where I'm from for dim sum. If I could eat more, I would've ordered more.“

“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.“

“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.“

“At the end of North King Street, in the corner of the big parking (which is free) is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants I go to with my workers for lunch when working downtown.
Food is excellent and reasonably priced. For three of us, we eat like kings for under $100 (usually 5 different dishes). That includes seafood items like clam with black bean sauce and seafood fried rice.
The owner is very friendly and seating can be limited. Although, we never had to wait for seating. I noticed allot of ppl picking up take out orders, so that's another option.“

“Great dim sum here at Mei Sum. Everything was fresh, and they have a great selection of ready to eat dim sum. They Xiao long bao was made fresh, took about 10 minutes for them to cook them, but where worth the wait. Black bean spare ribs are also amazing.
Parking is okay, can be found on the street or the parking lot across the street.“

“Its the best! What else can be said?“

“Very good food and service! Not just a run of the mill Chinese Restaurant. Dishes you won’t find anywhere else. Squab (Pigeon) and Stir-Fried Bitter Melon! Yum 😋. Steamed Oysters are a HIT! Will definitely return! Worth the price.“

“selection, value, and taste.“

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

“Went here one Saturday morning. I saw plenty of people here of all ages. Half the restaurant was already full. Dimsum came out fairly quickly and the tea was a nice balance with all the dishes. I also saw plenty people waiting on take out orders. I'd definitely come back for dim sum and their normal offerings.“

“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!“

“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.“
