22 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.“

“It's rare to find a place so cheap and yet so delicious! I was dropping off my old man and found out about a unicorn in today's economy a solid breakfast, plate lunch or bento all 20 bucks or less. Now okazuyas been my jam since baby days but this place takes the cake. I got the shock and awe breakfast for 5 DOLLARS! And I'll happily say it again for the people in the back. For 2 eggs a solid set of meat and rice I can't complain. I love my set scrambled and they did it quite well. Outside of the cash only part which id definitely forget going again (which I understand why) its a perfect place for your pre work meal or even during! It boggles me how this place was hated on.“

“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!“

“The best manapuas on the island! Absolutely loved all four I tried. Amazing savory and sweet options like the char siu pork and oreo cream! The ginger fried chicken entree is something everyone has to try if you come to Honolulu! Thank you so much for the wonderful food!“

“If you're looking for some roast pork, chicken or duck come here. It's a pick up and go place so don't expect a place to sit unless you find some outside in the plaza. If you're looking for simple, great tasting roasted meat on rice or crispy noodles this is the place. It's simple and delicious. The menu isn't extensive. Other than those roasted meats there's also ginger chicken that I particular love.

The cost of the food here is a great value as well. Each plate I got was enough to feed 2 or 3 people. I would recommend getting a mix of the meats and share. It was all good.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“This place has been fueling potlucks, dinners for my family for decades and my new lunch addiction since I got back. I appreciate that they got rid of the number system and since Covid the crowds have gone down big time so everytime it's smooth sailing. Da aunties behind the counter always hook it up with big portions as always whether it's the new bowl or plate etc. While I admit I miss the furikake fried rice and the fact that spicy garlic and minit chicken is not always available and is now made to order only I do appreciate the transparency and relatively fast speed that it does come out as I can't leave without it. Also for someone who's been here forever I can't for the life of me think of why I didn't try the gau gee sooner as this is the bomb and for the price one of the best I had easily! One of the few places that refuses to change and for that will always be in my mind for all occasions!“

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

“The food was so good and really hit the spot. Husband ordered the black garlic oil tantan ramen and I had a combo meal of egg drop soup, gyoza, and chicken katsu curry rice. We especially loved the ramen because of how strong the garlic flavor is.
Service was great, it wasn't busy so we got seated immediately and after ordering the food came out pretty fast. The servers were nice and polite as well.“

“Had the chicken wings, calamari, popcorn chicken, crispy buns, and chicken noodle soup with beef, mushrooms, Bokchoy, and tofu. My soul was fed, and my heart was warm. ☺️ Everything Yoyo recommended was 10/10! She was patient, kind, and answered all of our questions about the menu. Give that woman a pay raise!:) Definitely going back to try the rest of the menu:)“

“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.“

“The food here had large portions with lots of different options. The food was okay. I got the shaka house ramen, it was spicy but that was about it for flavor, the actual broth was pretty bland and didn't stand out. The steak that is was served with was good though. It was busy when we went it was around 6:30 pm. When we were waiting for our food there was a strong crusty smell in the restaurant, me and my friends couldn't figure out what is was and it did kinda make the atmosphere unpleasant. The waitress did take a while to get to our table to take our order, and we had no idea we needed to go up to the counter to pay. Overall I would kinda recommend, only if you want big portions and mildy good tasting food.“

“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“

“Good food, pretty yummy. Ordered the egg fu yung, the sweet and sour chicken, and beef chow fun. Nice plentiful portions . We also ordered rice too. Good size portions of rice. All tasted yummy. They do take out too. Support local and small businesses!!“

“Fantastic experience, the broth (we got Tonkatsu but they have nine other types) was amazing and roiling hot out of the kitchen. It's nice to be able to pick what goes into your ramen as often time at other restaurants there's always something that I'm not too big a fan of, or nothing enough of something I like. The sever was attentive and wonderfully friendly. After a tasty hot meal you get to cool down with a free shave ice dessert (with Ramen purchase) which, like everything else, was delicious. My partner got the thai tea and said it was great. For the price and the customization options, I can't recommend it enough.“

“Absolutely the BEST customer service and the most delicious food I’ve ever had at any Panda Express location!

Every single time I come here, the team is consistently friendly, welcoming, and on point. You can feel the positive energy immediately—from the moment I walk in or even just call ahead. That kind of service is rare, and they truly set the standard.

And let’s talk about the food… it just hits different here. You can genuinely taste the care, effort, and pride they put into every dish. Even though it’s a franchise, this location stands out—it feels like they’re putting heart and soul into everything they serve.

Huge thank you to the entire team for always being kind, professional, and bringing such great vibes. You make every visit a great experience.

Highly recommend this Waipahu location if you want the REAL Panda Express experience! 🧡🥡“

“Great meeting place with friends!“

“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.“

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