We ordered luncheon menu items #1 and #23 general goas chicken which not edible. Chicken chunks were hard as a rock, rice tasted like plastic, still can’t get rid of the bad taste. I was sick 30 minutes after eating a small amount of food. Had a Diet Coke, small glass that I asked for a refill that cost me $5.50, no water or tea offered. Worst meal ever!!!!

Native Hawaiian here. This is a Chinese restaurant. Not one item on the menu is Hawaiian. Nothing like using someone else’s culture for profit, and then not even bother to have actual Hawaiian plates on the menu!

Absolutely the best!!!! When it comes to egg rolls they are top notch, service ( wish I got the server name) outstanding we ( my husband and I ) came here for lunch and we had an awesome time, we dine in and the atmosphere was comfortable and cozy. We had an awesome time. The chicken wings crispy, steak was tender and flavorful,egg rolls the sam as I rembered when I was growing up in Dorchester Ma that no longer exists. Thank you Hawaii islands for bringing back my youth.

I was happy to hear when they reopened so I took my Mom for lunch. The waitress was nice but a bit hard to communicate with. We ordered Sweet and sour pork with egg rolls, crab rangoon, and fried rice. The rice and pork were okay but the egg roll and rangoon were horrible. Get had the look and taste of something you would buy out of the freezer section of the supermarket. I won’t be going back. If you go I hope you have a better experience!

Some of the BEST Asian cuisine I've had in a really long time. We got the "Big Chow" and "Treasure Island" so we could both try each of them. While the ingredients on the page were similar, the sauces were completely different. Both were amazing, I can't say which I liked better. Both have a rich, succulent depth of flavor, with plenty of meat (no skimping there), and loads of veggies. There was no rice served with either meal, but that was fine. We didn't miss it at all. We skipped the appetizer, too. He did have the scorpion bowl for 1, said it had good flavor, and was exactly what he expected in regards to plenty of spirits... lol. We will definitely be putting this on our regular rotation list, not only for the food quality (which is reason enough) but also for the price. We were very pleased with everything about our trip to Hawaiian Isle. A definite must if you're looking for great Asian cuisine.
Parking: The restaurant is in a large strip mall, next to a grocery store, so there is plenty of parking, including handicap accessible spaces.

I went there after it reopened with the new owner. The food was pretty good. The service was not great. My biggest complaint was they serve these very small sodas and charge for each one. I basically spent $11 for 2 cans of Coke. That's the major reason I won't be going back.

The chicken lo mein had tons of chicken, you were lucky to get 3 or 4 pieces back in the day. Unfortunately it was very dry no sauce at all. Got the ribs on the bone some of them were outstanding and some where thin and dry. Teriyaki steak some where great some where gristled and dry. Spring rolls were really good. The service was outstanding, everyone was very friendly. Got takeout and by the time I got it home it was still very hot.

Went there for first time since new owners . We almost went to Kowloonns but we are so glad we went here instead. The quality of the food was amazing. The food was so much better than the old establishment. The atmosphere was great and the waitress was amazing. Her name was Hedi like the actress and we will request her on our next visit with our adult children. She made the dining so much more enjoyable and I also heard the other table saying the same thing.. We also made it a point to talk to new owners and tell them.

General gau’s chicken tastes bland, doesn’t come with white rice. It’s supposed to spicy.

This was my first visit since they reopened under new ownership. The food was great. The atmosphere is the same as it was. Service was great. As we were leaving, all the staff thanked us for coming. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
