26 Best Chinese Restaurants near Wahiawa

“The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant was an unexpected find. We try to find non-touristy and local restaurants. It’s about 35 minutes from Honolulu. Annika (sp?) was a wonderful server. She answered all our questions, gave perfect suggestions and was very attentive. The food was delicious and had leftovers (we ordered a lot). We had crab rangoons & the soft won tons as appetizers. Pat ordered the General Tso’s Chicken Plate and half Roasted Duck, which he LOVED. I ordered the Pepper Garlic Pork Chop (DELICIOUS!!) and Hawaiian Fried Rice. I asked for sau-sau-an (sp? a type of Filipino vinegar garlic dipping sauce), which added to the taste of the pork. The Ube Ice Cream was a delicious surprise. The reason for the 4 stars for food is because the fried rice was a little overcooked. If we were staying longer, we would go to it a few more times. If you get a chance to go, you won’t be sorry.“

“Another Wahiawa Gem! Was waiting at another Chinese restaurant for them to open and got impatient and wound up here. Was only craving egg rolls and crispy gaugee. The price here is .99 per piece which is way cheaper than most Chinese restaurants in Hawaii. I got a clam shell full with a side of hot mustard and oh my goodness… I’ve had gaugee and egg rolls from just about everywhere and this has been the best I’ve had on island! Can’t believe I’ve passed this place over and over. Will be taking my family back (tonight haha) mahalo“

“Great food and friendly service. Don't let the location or the outside appearance scare you off, this is an excellent place for a quick and cheap meal. We fed an adult and 2 kids for breakfast for $14 total. Can't beat that anywhere in Hawaii. We'll be back.“

“We’re visiting from California — where Panda Express originally started — and we’ve got to say, we’ve never seen a location this clean and with such a hard-working crew. The restaurant was spotless, the food was fresh and hot, and the friendly service made the experience even better.

Kyla truly went above and beyond. She was not only incredibly kind and welcoming, but also one of the most hard-working team members we’ve ever seen. She made our visit extra special, and it’s people like her that turn a quick meal into a great memory.

Amazing job to the entire team - Keep up the awesome work! WOW!“

“Today was the first time my family and I have visited this restaurant. With such great reviews I had to come check it out for myself. I was craving Chinese food and found this place on google. When we got there we were greeted by the kind owner and his employee. We got there a bit late but were happy that they still had manapuas,rice cakes and bentos. We most definitely be back because the hospitality was great and we really appreciated how welcoming they are. Thank you for the delicious food especially the tasty fried coconut mochi balls😋☺️.“

“This spot is straight heat. I always come here for their plate lunch with the cake noodle upgrade. It’s honestly a great deal since it comes with your choice of protein, cake noodle, cabbage, and a gau gee. They even give the sauce on the side so the cake noodle stays nice and crispy. This time we got two duck plate lunches and a pound of roast pork. Everything was tasty and delicious, and this place is always my go-to for duck and roast pork.“

“Great value for the food! Good customer service too! 😄“

“I LOVE THEIR CURRY STEW, HOT SPICY AND SO GOOD! YOU GET LOTS OF MEAT POTATOES AND CARROTS. REMINDS ME OF THE OLD ALAMOANA FOOD WAGON. THAT HAD LINES EVERYDAY, THIRTY YEARS AGO. I WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS PLACE!“

“Ordered their roast pork and char sui. It is the best! They do run out so it is best to call before heading out in the afternoon; especially on the weekend. (Learned the hardway...picked up after lunch and decided to get more. It was about 3pm - ran out! Maybe had a big take out order?)

There can be a long line and only one person who chops the meat up.“

“They can customize their menu according to your wishes too!“

PROFESSIONALISM,and RESPECT,They have at All Anybody needs to Feel like a Queen or King!! I’m so dead Serious,I back up EVERY WORD I’m Writing here,I Promise You will be a return Happy Customer,Like my Name is Ben🤙🏽🫶“

“I usually call in my order so I don't need to wait in line. But, they are busy especially during late morning and lunch time that they don't answer the phone right away. Need to call several times before someone answers. Once in awhile you would have to wait for someone to help at pick-up counter because they are helping the walk-in customers.

They do have a good selection of food, but if you go too early not all choices are out.

Note: Bring back the regular size Azuki Bean manapuas!“

“This was first time we visited the restaurant, the staff was friendly and portion size was really good. Please visit once for a great food experience. We had Katsu Curry Rice, Fried Chicken Noodles and Katsu Chicken Noodles. They were all amazing.“

“Second time back here with friends for lunch. I got the laksa and it was delicious. Great service. Nice place to have lunch or dinner with friends. The pancake was delicious, not too sweet and very light. I was greedy and order a bowl of pickled cabbage and fish with rice noodle home.“

“Convenient location in Waipahu right next to savers. Aunty's ready to welcome you in and give any recommendations. Their crispy gau gee, beef chow fun and steamed fish was all ONO!

Mahalo to you guys!! ????

Definitely recommend“

“I cannot believe it took me over SEVEN years on island to finally eat here—like, how did I miss this?! This spot in Aiea is a total hidden gem and exactly what I’ve been craving ever since my trip to Singapore. It’s similar to mala tang in that you get to pick your own veggies, meats, seafood, etc. to build your soup. The broth options are a little different though—no mouth-numbing mala like you’d find at YGF Mala Tang—but honestly, I didn’t mind one bit.

The spicy pumpkin soup base was perfection: creamy, flavorful, with just the right kick. It didn’t overwhelm my palate or leave me feeling heavy, and it tasted cleaner (less oily) than other broths I’ve tried. If you’re into creamy soups, the pumpkin base is a must-try!

Service was solid too. They refilled my water without me asking and even let me choose my seat (I was the first customer before the evening rush lol). The space was roomy, spotless, and you can tell it’s a true mom-and-pop operation—genuine care for both the food and the customers.

I’m already planning to come back this week because I cannot stop thinking about that pumpkin soup.

Oh, and if soup isn’t your thing (or if Hawaii’s heat has you craving something else), they’ve got chicken katsu with curry, stir fry, and other specialty dishes too.

VISIT. Seriously.“

“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.“

“New owners as of Oct 24. No more lunch special, more concise menu and an updated feel! I think the portions are a but bigger and the food tastes a bit more ono! Faves are still sweet sour fish, salt n pepper shrimp, and steamed fish. The owner is the chef and Kelly usually runs the front house! I will enjoy continuing to go eat here! There is a new 3% credit card surcharge.“

“Always great service at this location & the food is always fresh & hot. Jane an employee told us about the Panda App & helped us & waited patiently for us to download it so we could get a discount. She was so helpful & accommodating! Now we will use our Panda App all the time thanks to Jane at Panda Express Waipio Hawaii.“

“I came here with two of my girlfriends for a very anticipated late night dinner after a long day. We all liked our food— I ordered the vegetable ramen with miso broth, my friend got the spicy pork ramen, and my other friend got the tonkatsu— the portions were good, price was good, and the service was stellar. They played a small game with me at the end after I paid for the check, where I won a bar of soap & I thought that was so cool and a cute way to end the meal!!!! I would definitely come back here again. One of the few places open late on this side of the island as well!“

“Great meeting place with friends!“

“Friend mentioned to check out panda's website for a $25 family deal which includes two sides and three entree items... for a family of four it's quite a lot and the same family pack usually close to $40. During this shelter-in-place time it was a very good deal. Easy to order online, you just show your confirmation number to the worker at the make-shift counter that is now placed at the entrance to the establishment. You can also select what time you want for pick-up.“

“This was a take-out, so other than getting the right order and meeting the time they say would be ready for pickup. This restaurant has been in this location since they opened up in that location, but remember them located where Highway Inn is and them needing a bigger space, so there you go, another oldie but goodie food place.“

“Yummy ..😋😋😋 Waimalu Chop Suey is located at Waimalu Shopping Center.“

“Typical Panda Express in a small strip of shops next to Walmart. Strip parking is usually available but walmart lot neighbors with lots of parking. Love the super greens option as a base. Kung pao chicken and broccoli beef are always great. It would be nice to get the brown rice back.“
