The tea was hot. There was a good amount of vegetables in my wor gau gee mein soup. The service was fast. Ceiling has signs of needed repair. We were the only customers. The soup had no noticeable seasoning, more like hot water only. The char siu was good. read more

Asia Manoa lunch for ten of us...GREAT! The reasonably-priced plate lunch options were loaded with varied and delicious food. Parking was plentiful; table service was prompt, friendly and professional. Looking forward to a return visit...soon! read more

Comfort food... If you're ever in Manoa you must check out this cozy gem located just before the Marketplace between FHB and BOH where they do have a few free parking space is always appreciated in this area. Anytime of the year though when it gets a bit chilly it's gonna be Won Ton Mein time along with my jet lag it was something that really worked for me. With food allergies I asked if there was any shrimp in their won tons which they didn't is nice to know and that they had sriracha, chili sauce and mustard right on the table so that you don't need to ask or to share with another table is very nice and that they bring you some hot tea makes it a very comforting meal to enjoy at your leisure. They do have quite a bit or large round tables to easily fit multiple larger parties and their own restroom as well are all great qualities, I was there for late lunch/early dinner hour so the dining room was empty but not short on constant flow of takeout order keeping this cute small local biz steady. Thank you! Update: I'M TOTALLY ITCHY!!! Not sure of this cross contamination and probably wouldn't return here. read more

My boyfriend picked up a Chinese chicken salad and crispy gau gee for us. At first glance, the salad already didn't look very appealing, but I took a bite anyway--and it was overwhelmingly salty. While I was drinking some water and trying the gau gee, my boyfriend found a huge chunk in the salad. At first we thought it was styrofoam or a shrimp chip, but when it broke in half in his chopsticks and he tasted it, we realized it was literally a block of salt. It seems like they tossed the salad in dry seasonings and salt, then threw the toppings on without adding any dressing at all. The lettuce tasted like basic bagged greens, and the chicken seemed like plain rotisserie chicken. It was a complete waste of $15. We were just hoping to enjoy a nice lunch at the dog park, but we'll definitely never go back to Asia Manoa. To make things worse, the crispy gau gee tasted like it had been pre-cooked, left sitting, and then refried just to reheat it. The skin was tough and overly hard, like it had been fried twice. Overall, not a good experience at all. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

Solid homestyle, old-school, affordable Chinese food served up in this casual, family-friendly Mānoa neighborhood establishment, which has convenient parking, handicap-accessible, and efficient and friendly service. We like the string beans with pork, (not so) spicy eggplant, pork hash with salted duck egg, roast duck with buns, beef broccoli funn, choy sum with black mushroom, and honey walnut shrimp. Iʻve heard from fans that Asia Manoa makes good deep fried oysters, as well. The food comes out hot and tasty, though occasionally a little heavy on the gravy for my liking. One downside: Asia Manoaʻs interior is not what it used to be, so perhaps does not draw the dine-in crowds that it once did in the early years, when it was a glossier restaurant, though it still seems to have a brisk take-out clientele. Infrastructural investment is needed: they were repairing a damaged section of the ceiling on a recent visit. read more

Lunch in Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii... Because it was Veterans Day holiday, I asked some friends if they wanted to go to lunch - sure! Asia Manoa Chinese Restaurant has been here a while, but none of us had written a review! With free parking and a convenient restroom, why haven't we been here before? We went at opening time (10:30am) and had no trouble with getting a table without a reservation. Luckily, we beat a large party that took two tables! Deborah got the Daily Dinner Special Plate and I got the Daily Lunch Special Plate. The main difference was that Deborah's plate included fried rice and chicken. My plate had white rice, beef vegetable noodles, sweet sour spare ribs, and fried won tons. I liked it! Some of everything! I think I'll be back in the future... like if someone comes to town and we need a place for a gathering... let me know if you want to join! =) read more

My wife and I were invited for lunch at Asia Manoa. It's located next to Waipuna Sushi in Manoa. They have shared parking in front. I had a heavy dinner the night before so they agreed to do separate meals. My wife and Nadine C ordered combo plates. I ordered a gau gee mein in soup. This turned out to be a good choice for me. The soup was light and tasty. Noodles were cooked perfectly. The gau gee was average. The two ladies enjoyed their meals. No complaints. The service was friendly. The food came out of the kitchen pretty fast. Considering a large party had ordered before we did. The ambiance is of a typical local Chinese restaurant. Enjoy read more

We've picked up from Asia Manoa three times now, and it's quickly become our go-to spot for quick, local Chinese comfort food. The lunch combo specials A and B are a great value and always satisfying. We've also tried the crispy gau gee, string bean with minced pork, sweet & sour pork, and beef chow funn with black bean sauce--every dish has been flavorful and consistently well-prepared. One thing to note: the ambience inside is always dark and quiet. They usually leave the air conditioning and lights off, so it can feel a bit eerie--when we first went to pick up our order, we honestly thought the place was closed. But once you get past that initial impression, the food is reliably delicious and definitely worth the stop. Parking's a breeze, with a few spots right out front and more off to the side. We've never had an issue finding a space, which makes pick-up quick and hassle-free. Pros: Cheap and quick food that hits the spot when you're craving Chinese comfort dishes. Cons: Very much a hole-in-the-wall vibe, and the interior doesn't look the cleanest--so probably better suited for takeout than dining in. Asia Manoa keeps things simple: tasty food, convenient pickup, and consistent quality. If you're looking for no-fuss Chinese eats with local flair, it's worth trying. read more

My family and I have been going here since I was young. It's cozy, traditional style food and the staff always treats us like family there. We love going back! read more

Been driving past this spot for years. I have never stopped to eat here. Well I'm delighted that I did today. I ordered a lunch plate. C combo. Pork fried Rice, Lemon Chicken, Beef W/Broccoli Fried Won Ton & Won Ton Soup. All were really good, fresh and flavorful. Service was quick and friendly. By the way only $16! If it weren't for the 2 ladies on staff arguing in the kitchen I'd have given 4 stars. Ok Edited review.... The arguing and yelling amongst the female staff has intensified. 2 men just showed up and when into the kitchen, they're all yelling and screaming. And yet food keeps coming out of the kitchen! Super entertaining! 5 f******g stars! read more

Haven't been here so when our Auntie Nadine C said let's go for lunch and it's a holiday I said shoots let's go. We arrived in there parking lot about 10:20 am and I notice that the place was opened. People were going in. Waited for Auntie to come with Peter Y. She showed up and walked in. Sat down and the server didn't push us to order. So waited for Peter to show up but he didn't he forgot to put the luncheon on he's calendar so that's okay. We started to order the food I ordered their dinner plate lunch, Auntie ordered the lunch plate lunch, and my husband ordered gau gee mein noodles soup style. The food was good had leftovers to take home. The difference on the plate lunch was the crispy chicken piece and fried rice. Everything else was the same both plates. The lunch plate and dinner plate. We shall return again read more

We normally just do takeout from here. Usually super fast, food is good. Kids like egg foo young, min chicken cake noodles. The honey walnut shrimp is good, different from others not sweet which we like, also we usually get the garlic shrimp fried rice. Didn't care for like the stuffed egg plant or the breaded sesame chicken too much glaze and sauce. Duck is usually good but the buns this last time were hard. read more

Tried to put in a take out order over the phone and the person taking the order was yelling and very impatient. Horrible customer service.

Well-established restaurant in the community with good food and mild-mannered ambiance

We've been customers since the 1980s. Was excellent before but seems that there's been at least 2 changes in the owners/chefs and the current dishes are bad. Crispy gau gee mein had very hard/dry gau gee and unfamiliar toppings. Eggplant dish was bland. Won't be going for a while ... read more

A group of 10 of us went to lunch to celebrate a co-worker's retirement. The menu has many food dishes to choose from and is great for family style eating. However the combination plates make it very easy to choose from and the amount of food is plenty. The food itself is tasty. Our server was prompt and efficient and appeared very serious. Not many smiles but it was okay. Overall we enjoyed our meals and we enjoyed our time celebrating our co-worker's Retirement! read more

I think their rice soup/porridge/jook may be their best offering in my opinion! Very smooth and flavorful. I can taste the subtle ginger. I've had both the chicken and the ground beef, I think I like the beef one better. Good for two adult portions per order. If I got sick and wanted porridge again I'd definitely order from here! Their fried rice is ok, as is their egg fu yung. The choy sum with oyster sauce is a good volume, but the second time we ordered for takeout, there were more stems than leaves, and some of them look yellowed. 3.5 stars. For convenient location although the parking lot is small. read more

We have been coming to Asia Manoa for many years. After the pandemic, we have focused on doing take out as our family has changed. Our most recent experience was very good & very helpful. We needed 2 plates less than half an our to closing. Unlike all other restaurants we called, they said come over, but come now. The food was hot and our guests devoured the food. We also like the fact that we can get vegetarian food, not just Jai or cooked Choi Sum. While we have not dined in at the restaurant in years, the take out has been consistently good and we plan to continue eating here. read more

The dinner plate for 16 bucks is pretty good. If you tried to order the same items ala carte it would be much more expensive.

Hungry for a good chinese meal, thought of Asia Manoa, known its delicious menu. Well, no longer delicious - ingredients tasted old and food temperature luke warm. The only dish that was hot was the soup. Too bad, the only chinese restaurant that's convenient to Manoa community. read more

In the past, when we traveled to Honolulu for vacation, we often had dinner at this neighborhood Chinese restaurant for a high quality, inexpensive, meal. Today (3-3-2026), we stopped by this restaurant and were shocked at how this restaurant has deteriorated. The parking lot is dark. There were old beverage boxes piled at one corner of the restaurant. There was an acoustical ceiling tile ready to fall down. The pendant lights are dusty and appear dirty. The air conditioning ducts are dusty or taped over with plastic wrap. The restaurant sign was not lite. From the outside, the restaurant did not appear to be open. The interior of the restaurant was dim. The table was set haphazardly. The inside of the restaurant appears to be in disarray with boxes, kitchen utensils, and dishes placed in the corners of the restaurant. One of the servings spoons on the table was greasy. We ordered greens beans with pork, hot pot with Chinese Sausage/cabbage/mushrooms/chicken, seaweed soup with fish fillets, and pork hash with salted duck egg. The food was tolerable at best. The soup was too salty and the green beans with pork had too much cornstarch gravy. The bathroom reminded me of an outhouse "port-a-potty." This place is a disaster. Eating in this restaurant is akin to eating inside a recycling center!! We won't be returning to this restaurant. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner, Since we haven't been here in awhile. Like at least for a couple of years, pre pandemic. Heard the food quality had gone down, so we thought we would give it a try to see for ourselves. Ambiance: Typical Neighborhood Chinese Restaurant. Good for take out on your way home. Service: Da usual, Food: Salt and Pepper Pork Chops were good.-4/5 Chicken Salad was okay 3/5 Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice-4/5 Boneless Minute Chicken Cake Noodle-3/5 Overall was meh, maso menos. Would return for pork chops and fried rice. Keep up the cleaning! read more

If it wasn't so convenient for me, I would not keep going back since it's overpriced and quality is hit or miss...usually miss. On the rainy rainy rainy night, I got lazy to cook so called couple items to supplement leftovers I had at home. At night there is typically parking and then you throw in torrential downpour and not a problem at all. The worker is a lot nicer in person than on the phone. Food was ready when I got there so everything was very efficient. $30 for 2 small styrofoam containers - a little ridiculous. - Lemon Chicken - 3 nice juicy pieces laid out on top. The rest of the pieces under were scrawny and overcooked. Maybe they thought we would only eat the top and not notice the bottom?! Hubs likes the fake lemon sauce...I am not a fan and just like the fresh lemon piece they put on top. - Green Beans with Ground Pork - this was tasty and well cooked. Beans not overcooked. Super garlicky and salty. Not good for high blood pressure. $15 for a small container! read more

We visited Asia Manoa the day after Lunar New Year. We were seated and had to wait quite a while, their telephone was ringing off the hook and people were queued to pick up their take out orders We waited close to 30 minutes before our dine in order was taken. I was really tempted to call in our order to make sure the got to us. The food was good, the portions small. I would definitely come back but not during major holidays. read more

The food here is mediocre. The last few times, the lemon chicken was inedible, funky tasting & the smell made my gag. The other dishes-fried rice, chow fun, and veggie dish, were okay but tasted old. Ginger chicken was the good but overall, it wasn't the most tastiest Chinese cuisine. read more

Just picked up salt and pepper pork chop and cold ginger chicken. The pork chop was sour tasting and so was the ginger-onion sauce. We called the restaurant and the owner said "what...spoiled already? we cooked it only two days ago"...??? Aiyah...why was it cooked two days ago. That means you refried or reheated it? We threw it away. Be careful about buying from here. Not as good as before. read more

We always get great service from this friendly and chill family restaurant. I am not always the biggest fan of fried food but their salt and pepper shrimp here is my favorite! There is a nice fluffy quality to it and the taste is addicting. Their black bean clams are also good if they have it available that day. You can call in advance to check! read more

Serg's across the street was full (small parking lot) so we decided to try this Chinese restaurant across the street with lots of parking and it didn't disappoint! I tried a bunch of options, they were sold out of fried oysters but we got honey walnut shrimp (my staple and how I judge every Chinese restaurant...and it was so good! nice and hot/fresh with a great flavor), garlic egg white chicken fried rice (heavy garlic and egg, yum!), spicy eggplant with pork (great savory flavor), curry seafood chow fun (all words in that dish sound delicious, came with fish, squid and shrimp). Very extensive menu and clean bathroom with a key. Can't wait to bring my parents! read more
