Fun fact...did you know that LOOK FUNN is actually the local name for CHEUNG FUN? I did not know that. I just recently found that out, lol. Look funn is a favorite dim sum dish that I...LOVE! It reminds me of chow funn. It's an uncut large chow funn flat noodle filled with a variety of things such as char siu, green onions, shrimp, mushrooms or just plain. You can buy it uncut or cut into bite size pieces wrapped in pink butcher paper. I grew up eating look funn. My dad would walk to Chinatown at least once a week to buy look funn for our breakfast or lunch. At the time, he would pay under a buck for a roll. Now, it costs around $2 or $3 dollars a roll depending on what variety you choose. You can also get look funn at dim sum restaurants, too. At the restaurants, they usually serve it with a shoyu based sauce. If I get it from this factory, I eat it with shoyu and dry mustard sauce.So...yummy! Look funn is perfect for snacking, perfect for a party or perfect for a meal. So if you are looking for fresh look funn, come to CHI KONG LOOK FUNN FACTORY in Chinatown! You'll thank me for that! read more

These steamed rice rolls are popular in Hawaii. I got one plain $2 and 1 seafood one $3. They were huge! This is more of an item you buy to bring home and prepare. I wasn't exactly sure what it was when I went there... but this would be good to bring home, cut up, and drizzle some soy or fish sauce over. I ended up throwing away the plain roll, but the seafood roll was pretty good. Service was straightforward and fast, and the cashier handed me the order right away. This is a pick-up and go place. I do prefer banh cuon better, the Vietnamese rice rolls. read more

Chi Kong Look Funn Factory - Price list. - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What to have for lunch? We decided to get Look Funn. Remembering that Paul C had us try the look funn from Chi Kong Look Funn. The shop is located in the Kekaulike mall. After finding the shop I realized that I've bought Look Funn at this location under a different name. There was five ladies talking in the small shop. They notice that I was on my scooter. Making room for me to enter and waved me In. The young lady at the counter gave me my order and in a friendly and jovial way said " Happy Halloween ". Only then I realized the she had on a cute shirt with pumkins on it. Great service and the Char Sui and shimp Look Funn were delicious. Enjoy read more

i just got the plain ones ...so delicious! you can taste the dreshness of the rice and some sweetness. They don't add salt or preservatives. So i cut it to use as the rice noodle for my homemade pho. Excellent quality!! will keep buying!! read more

I've always wanted to try this and finally bought 2 long pieces. Plain and mushroom were left, so I grabbed the last 2 mushroom. Staying at an AirBnB and was able to makeshift a sweet soy sauce for it, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. Normally these types of rice rolls should feel "smooth" but they were a bit mushy. Sadly, there wasn't a notable mushroom taste either and it felt like the rice flour might have been stale? These are made fresh daily but they tasted old. I'm sad that I didn't love these and may try cha Siu next time to see if I can upgrade the rating. read more

Chi Kong Look Funn Factory - Mushroom Look Funn - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Always good, but need to go early or might run out of your favorite! I have my husband drive , while I run over.

So my family has gone to this place for over 30+ years and today was a huge disappointment. Its dirtier than usual and kinda unsanitary. They no longer wrap it in plastic and paper and just throw it in the bag. All new people work there and old man nowhere to be seen. I got home and tried it and i had to force myself to eat it. It was much thicker and more "doughy" almost mushy. It used to nice and thin. It tasted horrible. It was like runny watery tasting not like it used be. It has gone downhill. Sad sorry state now days. I wont be going back. read more

This is a look funn factory but they have a counter at the front that sells two of their variety of rice rolls AKA cheong funn or look funn. You can get the varieties with dried shrimp, char siu pork or just plain. They are sold so fresh and sometime you can feel the warmth of the rolls just out of the steamers. Prices are reasonable with a super easy to read pricing chart at the counter. read more

Right in the middle of Kekaulike, I've probably walked by Chi Kong dozens of times in my life. Only recently did my wife ask for Look Funn, which led us to finding the Chi Kong Look Funn Factory. No longer will we ever skip this place during a Chinatown visit! You can see the aunties working hard in the back to make fresh Look Funn. It's not a fancy joint, so expect a wait if it's busy. Cash only, so make sure you got the green. The posted menu has bulk listing with no discount, but it's pretty simple: - Plain look funn $2/roll. - Specialty look funn $3/roll. (Charsiu, mushroom, dry shrimp) A simple menu update would help them out a lot. We opted for 2 of each specialty roll, for a total of $18. Aunty packed all six rolls into a plate lunch container, and the buggah was HEAVY. It's not cut, so we went home to slice it up. We didn't even finish half of it for lunch, and easily took the other half to a family dinner. I did experiment a bit, and the slices were very good pan fried. Worth trying if you don't mind the extra work. I'd also recommend making your own sauce to elevate the experience. Here's a simple one that worked wonders: 1/4 cup shoyu, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp chili crisp oil. Can mince garlic and chop green onion to taste. Ono. The charsiu was very fragrant and had good bits of meat. The mushroom was also very fragrant, in a different way. The dry shrimp was more subtle but still delicious. Honestly all bangers, and you should choose what sounds interesting to you. read more

I learned today that "look funn" is the unique Hawaiian way of referring to a rice noodle roll (usually referred to as "chang fen" in Mandarin Chinese or "cheung fun" in Cantonese). I imagine part of the reason why this name is ubiquitous in Hawaii is because of this small, family owned shop that has been making "look funn" for over 70 years at this Chinatown location (see Jo Y's great review for a thorough history). "Look funn" is different from "chang fen" in that it's made of rice rather than wheat, so the noodle skin is much thicker, and the mix-ins are added directly to the batter, rather than being wrapped inside of the rice noodle roll. For $3 (cash only), you can get a HUGE look funn, definitely enough to split between 2 people if you want a taste. They roll it up in wax paper and put it in a bag for takeout. I recommend immediately bringing it home, plating it, slightly reheating it, then topping it with a homemade chang fen sauce (a mix of sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water) and fresh scallions. The noodle skin is hefty, well oiled, and has a great flavor. The mix-ins are just the supporting cast. I would also recommend grabbing some BBQ meat amd stir fried veggies from a local shop to pair with your look funn for a complete meal. YUM! read more

Our family's go to spot to grab look fun. They've been coming here for years. My in-laws are the ones who usually do the picking up, until we had our own cravings and wanted to make our own. The first time my husband and I went to find this place, I almost missed it! It's seriously a small take-out business with a door and window, but there is a sign. The look fun here is well made and doesn't fall apart in soup. Packed with chopped char siu or you can get the plain one, which we usually get a couple of each to mix in. Which ever you get, it's tasty. The people who were working were so friendly. Don't forget your cash and get there before 1pm ~ otherwise, you'll be running looking for an ATM before they close. Happy Eating :) read more

Following Paul C.'s journey through Chinatown has made me curious about venturing. In the past, I rarely visited Chinatown except for manapua, roast duck &/or pork and char siu. I have heard of this long standing business for years; seeing other friends checking in. I actually had visited with my parents when I was a child and later as a young adult. I found it was difficult to communicate and caused me to not revisit. I finally made it! Things I learned is to visit early for the best chance to pick up all varieties. No worries because I got three varieties! Loved how the noodles are fresh and amazed they didn't get stuck together. I learned you can request chopped or not. I opted for leaving the noodles uncut. I looked up a sauce to pour over the steamed noodles for dinner. I used the plain noodles to make duck noodle the next day. The next day I stir fried the remaining cheung fun noodles with veggies to make a takeout worthy chow fun. I loved how nicely the woman packed up the noodles! Visiting Chi Kong led me on a journey to purchase veggies and a duck at nearby stalls. Btw, I scored some fresh moi! Yummos! I will definitely be back! Supporting these small businesses are so important as we are losing all those wonderful mom & pop stores! For those who are intimidated like I was, the next generation of owners/workers can speak English! Much thanks to Paul C. for my Chinatown journey! Next time, I will plan better and bring more shopping bags! read more

Back when I took my folks on excursions to Chinatown, my Dad introduced me to this place. My folks always got the shrimp and/or char siu cheung funn (look funn rolls). A few years ago, we discovered the mushroom cheung funn, and it is SO good, that I get the onos for it! The factory is in the Kekaulike Gardens courtyard, and it's just a doorway that you walk in and there's a counter and the nicest lady taking your order through the window. I think it's cash only...but I could be wrong--I've only paid with cash. My suggestion is to bring a zip top bag and napkins/wet wipes. Go hungry and get a bunch. Some to snack on while you walk around Chinatown, and some to take home to enjoy later. They're easy to reheat in the microwave. read more

You need to walk deep into Chinatown to find these hole in the wall, mom and pop stores. I remember small kid time I used to come here with my mom and she used to buy these "noodles" or chow fun rolls and they were so cheap, I couldn't get over it. I thought. What's so good about it! When I mean cheap, I mean we were talking about 50 cents a roll! LOL! Omg! I'm showing my age! So when my mom passed away, my sisters and I took a stroll through Chinatown after many years, and of course I couldn't believe these guys were still here. Of course the chow fun rolls were no longer 50 cents, but I still thought it was delish! There is a language barrier of course, just know what you want. Plain. Char siu. Or shrimp. Slice it up and dip it in mustard sauce, oh, so yummy! I enjoy supporting small local business. read more

Best factory for fresh look funn noodles. I ordered 4 orders ($4/2 orders) of plain to make pad kee mao. So fresh and chewy! They come in sheets that you cut to your desired width. They take cash and venmo and are reasonably priced. They feature other look funn that has stuff already mixed in like char siu or mushroom. You can find them across Maunakea Marketplace where all the fruit and veg vendors are outside. Tiny hole in the wall. read more

Went yesterday and the entire China town block lost power. Lots of generators noise everywhere for each individual business. Anyways, impact to this place is that they only option available is the plan Look Funn. They cannot make the other types (mushroom filled, chasiu filled or dry shrimp filled). Skeptically we bought only 1 Look Funn to go, thinking how in the world are we going to eat the plain rice noodle. Allater that night, I tried a bit and mixed the room temperature Look Funn with my own dumpling sauce + chili. OMG SO SO SO GOOD. The texture is just perfect and chewy. This place is a must visit if you like rice noodle of all types. read more

Three and a half stars. Let me say that first of all I'm really glad that I walked past it today because they ARE open although it says they're closed on Tuesday and that their hours have changed as of a month ago. Secondly the place is so nice and old it's hard to believe they are still in business. It's great to watch the elderly men in the back make it. The look fun is fat and full of yummies inside. It's really old school but the taste is there. It's a fat fat roll and half of one was my lunch. Luckily I had chili sauce and shoyu on me at work to add to it. It needs some flavoring on top, in my opinion The place is small and full all around of items and boxes. However the flavor I'm sure hasn't changed in years! I love these mom and pop places. Thank you for my Valentine's lunch read more

No ambiance, ok service, outstanding look funn. You don't need 3 out of 3 in Chinatown as long as your product is good. Over the years the ownership has changed hand and the cost has tripled for their look funn. Nevertheless, they provide the biggest and best rolls with plenty of cha siu, shrimp or mushrooms. Even their plain look funn is tasty in a beef black bean stir fry or in a good chicken soup. They hold up great against strong flavors. 2-3 of their rolls and a side of char siu from a meat market and you have a great quick meal. read more

Super small hole in the wall place, cash only, very friendly and prompt service. Great place to pop in and grab some look funn. Each roll is only $3 and is massive. Great texture, flavor, and very generous with the fillings. We also got a soy sauce packet and some chopsticks. Will definitely stop by again. read more

Cheong funn rolls, aka look funn rolls in HI. I literally grew up with these made-from-scratch noodle rolls, as my mom would take me to Chinatown when I was growing up to buy them, which are long, flat rice noodles that are steamed and embedded with char siu and green onions, dried shrimp and green onions, or plain. Now they also have diced mushrooms. This look funn noodle factory initially opened in the 1940's and was located around the corner on No. King St. and had a different name. Foo Ying Chee took over in 1968 and named it Ying Leong Look Funn Noodle Factory and moved it to its current location in 1973. He passed away in 2013, and his wife and son, Alice and Daniel Chee, respectively, took over the operation. Alice retired in 2019, and an employee by the name of Chi Kong then took over and renamed the shop, Chi Kong Look Funn Factory, which is what it is now. The look funn rolls have not changed over the years. These steamed rice rolls are a Cantonese dish that originated in Southern China and Hong Kong. They're served as snacks or small meals seasoned with soy sauce at street restaurants. Plain look fun is used in soups or stir-fries. Its literal name "cheong funn rolls" means intestine noodles, as the noodles only look like pig intestines. Other than machinery to cut the noodles after they're made, the noodle-making process uses old-school techniques using intensive hand labor. Workers ladle the milky rice batter slurry (rice, water, and cornstarch) into sheet trays slathered with melted Crisco, then stack the trays into a tall tower over a boiling cauldron. A hood that looks like a grain silo hangs by a rope and pulley system over each cauldron and is lowered and covers the trays for the noodle rolls to be steamed for 15 minutes. After they're done, fans are used to cool the rolls, then workers roll up the rectangular sheets of look funn and brush them with more melted Crisco, and finally, pile them up in a stack for sale. The factory also supplies many restaurants with look fun orders. Limited English is spoken here, so it's easy just to point which look funn rolls you want that are behind a clear plastic partition. In addition, as the offerings are limited, staff normally understands if you say you want mushroom, char siu, shrimp, or plain. Staff is very accommodating. Your look fun is placed in wax paper, then in pink butcher paper and wrapped with a rubber band. Real old school, as this has not changed over the years. Personally, the taste of the look funn rolls is deliciously subtle. Although you're given a packet of soy sauce, I prefer the sauces served at dim sum restaurants that include soy sauce, water, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, and green onions. Some people use hoi sin sauce, sesame sauce, and/or mustard sauce. I enjoy these rolls, especially the char siu, as it's a great snack, and the plain ones are used in my stir-fries. The shop is in a small space, as you can see workers in the kitchen area, prepping and steaming batches of look funn rolls. COVID requirements in place: masks and social distancing in place, and staff is behind a plastic barrier, with an opening only for cash payments. Located in Kekaulike Pedestrian Mall between Hotel and King streets, this unassuming shop is right across from the vegetable market. Metered street parking and nearby municipal parking available. Cash only, as the inexpensive rolls are $1.70 each for the plain and $2.50 for the flavored ones. Hours of operation are Mon and Thurs 7a to 2p, Wed and Fri 7a to 3p, Sat and Sun 7a to 1p, and Tues closed; they sometimes close early when they are sold out. So hard to pass up this wonderful look funn shop that has been open for more than 70 years in Chinatown! A must for those seeking made-from-scratch fresh look funn rolls that are so popular and a legacy in the Chinese culture! read more

Gone are the days of plain look fun rolls (used in soup or chow fun) @ 40 cents a roll. What you will find is the same consistent product at more than reasonable prices. Now also available are their fancier look fun rolls with either char siu or baby shrimp or my favorite, with bits and essence of mushroom. Located on the pedestrian thoroughfare known as Kekaulike Street, between King and Hotel Streets. Storefront opens at 7am. Best to get there early as this impressive operation does sell out early. With such a fragile product of course they wouldn't want any leftovers. Not to worry, there is hardly ever any! read more

Just walking up to that familiar shop I'm already excited and know exactly what I want...Look Funn!! Don't let that seemingly simple rolled rice noodle fool you one can feed a person...I enjoy it will hot sauce with sautéed veggies though today I picked up some beef broccoli which took care of my cravings instantly. Parking can be a struggle but I just parked in the municipal entrance right on Maunakea which has a quick access from the building only seconds away to the shop. Thank you to my friend Andy F. excellent review that explained the turnover owner of this place because I swear it was slightly different but am thrilled they're continuing the legacy. Yumminess is so hard to find and this gem is shining bright, thank you!!! read more

Ying Leong was THE place to get your look funn rolls. I've had so many childhood memories coming here with my grandpa every week. I have vivid memories of being too short to see over the counter and I'm always the curious boy wanting to see everything, so my grandpa would always pick me up and put me on top of a green cabinet on the right side. It has ALWAYS been there. That was until the owner of Ying Leong retired. I'm definitely gonna miss her as she's always been sweet and kind. I still remember her giving me a few pieces of Char Siu Look Funn when I was a kid. So good! Now Ying Leong has been taken over by an employee, and called Chi Kong Look Funn. I wish they kept the original name to keep the legacy, similar to how the current owners of Yat Tung Chow kept the original name. It's okay though because Cantonese people will still call it the original name, like when Empress changed names several times, and Don Quijote is still Holiday Mart or Daiei. Even though the name has changed, everything is still the same. You can still get your plain look funn rolls at $1.70 per roll, and with filling (char siu, dried shrimp, or mushroom) is $2.50. When you say Ying Leong, everyone will know where it is. But if you're not everyone, this place is located across from the Kekaulike Market. Reading Rob U's review written four years ago about Ying Leong regarding the taste difference, and the use of more or solely vegetable oil now as opposed to adding some pork fat to the look funn did made me realize that there is a difference. The look funn today is a lot more oily and dense where as decades before, the look funn was more thin, smooth, and tasty. You didn't even need any soy sauce! Simply put, the look funn is more simplier and straightforward now and slightly less on the ingredients than before, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The look funn is still good and very well prepared. Overall, Ying Leong has been a staple in Chinatown. The legacy now lives on under a different name, Chi Kong. Everything is still the same. The only difference you'll see is the price as it slowly creeps up every year. The staff is nice. Everything is prepared very well, and your look funn is wrapped neatly and nicely. You won't go wrong coming here! read more

Chi Kong Look Funn Factory is in Chinatown across from Kekaulike Market. They are clean and comply to the COVID-19 guidelines. Aside from plain look funn sheets, they have a other types of look funn with different items such as char siu or shrimp in them. I've passed by this spot a million times but never been inside. Growing up, my parents would be the ones buying ingredients and groceries to cook at home. Now that I'm older, I sometimes crave some of the dishes they made for me growing up. Thanks to Paul C, I finally made my way inside Chi Kong. One of my favorites is roast duck look funn. I woke up with a serious craving one day and I didn't know where to buy the look funn from. What did I do? I messaged the Mayor of Chinatown, Paul C, and asked where to buy look funn from. He recommended Chi Kong Look Funn Factory so that's where I went. They sell it by the sheet there and each sheet feeds one person. Make sure to ask them to cut it in their machine. 3 sheets were only $5.10! It's very economical! Too bad a whole roast duck is $30 lol. Overall, solid place and I will definitely be back the next time I'm craving look funn. read more

After marveling at today's (5/26/2020) Lāhainā Noon under Isamu Noguchi's Sky Gate sculpture, we continued our daily walk and found ourselves in Chinatown. It was nearing one o'clock in the afternoon and my stomach was screaming "FEEED ME". Since we still have COVID 19 restrictions in place, my husband and I looked for takeout food service. I steered him toward the Chi Kong Look Funn Factory (formerly the Ying Leong Look Funn Factory) as my mind raced with thoughts about getting some cheung fun 腸粉 or Cantonese steamed rice noodles. Chi Kong Look Funn Factory is a retail takeout vendor and also provides their steamed rice noodles to many commercial accounts. Walking in, there was a customer ahead of us so we patiently stayed back for social distancing while allowing him to exit without passing by us too closely. There was a lone worker tending the order counter who greeted us in Cantonese by asking us what we wanted. Stepping up to the counter, I quickly looked at the price list and figured that the list was set up by type (cheung fun studded with char siu or dry shrimp or mushrooms OR plain look funn) and cost per number of rolls. I wasn't sure about their pictorial menu which showed a fifth option "Chow Funn"--do they sell beef chow funn OR look funn rolls CUT into noodles? Anyway, I decided on 3 rolls of char siu cheung fun or chee cheong fun (currently priced at $7.50). I watched the woman gently pick up 3 rolls of char siu cheung funn and put them on a plastic sheet to prevent sticking to the exterior paper wrapping. Traditionally, peach paper (pink butcher paper) was used as its unlined paper quality was an excellent moisture holdout but I guess that due to either environmental or cost concerns, Chi Kong Look Funn Factory now uses white (bleached) butcher paper. IMHO, the use of white butcher paper doesn't seem traditional. Anyway, we carried home our purchases and tucked into the cheung funn with slices of Chinese BBQ pork (char siu 叉烧) and Chinese roast pork (siu yuk 烧肉) and sha cha (沙茶) sauce. The char siu cheung fun was slightly tacky yet silky smooth and soft. The rolls were studded with a good amount of minced Chinese BBQ and chopped scallions. We ate our lunch in the comfort of our home accompanied by cups of hot po-lay AKA pu'erh tea. We'll be back for their other types of cheung funn soon! read more

Formerly known as Ying Leong Look Funn Factory, Chi Kong Look Funn Factory has a new name because the former owners have retired and - according to Paul C. - Mr. Chi Kong (one of the employees) took over. Want some plain and simple comfort food at a reasonable price? Come to Chi Kong Look Funn Factory. LOCATION: the same hole-in-the-wall shop in Honolulu's Chinatown, between King Street and Hotel Street - at Kekaulike Mall. PARKING: metered street parking is free on Sundays and holidays. Municipal parking garages and lots are nearby. What is look funn? It's typically a wide, flat noodle that can be fried with various ingredients, added to soup, placed on a platter and tipped topped with gravy, meat, and veggies, or just eaten plain with some dipping sauce such as soy sauce. I wasn't able to read the price list because it's in Chinese. I pointed at the $1.70 column (when an employee was done packing a box for delivery to a restaurant) and it seems like that's for the plain look funn roll. If you want bits of mushroom, shrimp, or char siu (bbq pork) in your roll, it's $2.50 per roll. (Cash only.) I got some cha siu look funn rolls to bring to my mom's house for Lunar New Year dinner. My brother-in-law sliced the rolls and everyone enjoyed the chewy, slightly savory noodles. Yummy! Happy New Year of the Golden Rat! read more

Eating look funn directly from the pink paper wrap has been a part of my childhood. The Chee Family provided plain look funn and look funn rolls with dried shrimp, char siu or black mushrooms for over 50 years. They are so reasonably priced where it was a quick and inexpensive meal or snack for many who patronized them. However, Mrs. Chee managed the business for many years since her husband passed away and she now has finally retired. I just saw her the other week working when I was doing my weekly Sunday Chinatown shopping. However, I noticed the sudden name change to Chi Kong Look Funn Factory. Mr. Chi Kong was an employee who ended up taking over the business. This morning I was glad to see the same female staff who regularly greets me when I buy look funn. They are still very reasonably priced at $2.50 each for the char siu, black mushroom or dried shrimp rolls. The plain look funn roll is $1.70. Still cash only. I'm grateful someone has taken over this business that has been a part of my childhood. Opens daily. They have many business accounts where they purchase their look funn by bulk so come early before they sell out. 2020 #10 NOTE: Shout out to Nadine C. for posting the business page yesterday. Because I noticed the name change, it sent me over this morning to investigate. read more

If I lived nearby, maybe I would buy this look funn as an ingredient to warm up and serve with a dipping sauce or slice up to stir fry with veggies. But as a ready-to-eat noodle, it's a bit bland and they didn't offer me any sauce to go with. I arrived late on a Sunday morning, stood in a slow line and when it was my turn to order, they were out of all but two noodles. That said, the staff are pleasant and patient, the food is freshly made and served in generous portions, prices are reasonable, and the packing is nicely secure making it very easy to carry. read more

LOCATION: Chi Kong Look Funn Factory is on 1028 Kekaulike St sandwiched between Yan Seafood Market and an outdoor food market in the Kekaulike mall. Street parking in the area is metered.

I watched as he wrapped it in a waxed paper, pink butcher paper then put it inside a plastic bag. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask for mustard. There was no line on the Saturday we were there so we were in and out. The total for the order was $7.50. TASTE: Everything about this look funn is made in the shop and you can taste it. The servings are generous with lots of char shiu in every bite. Overall: 5 out of 5 PRICE: The total for 3 char siu funn was $7.50...great buy!

Absolutely the best place to get your char siu look fun roll. Growing up eating these with a mixture of sesame oil and oyster sauce only makes me drool every time I think of it. Although the prices have gone up, $2.50 per roll, it is still a good deal and the taste hasn't changed from all these years.

Honolulu Chinatown can be rough and can deter tourists, but this place is still worth visiting. Cash Only and simple establishment that still has quality Look Funn! There are only 4/5 dishes available and the menu is easy. It helps to know Cantonese but the staff know some limited English. One can request to cut up the look funn and ask for soy sauce packets! read more

If you like look funn, this is the real deal! I've heard it's a new owner than the original but tastes the same to me. This gem is Located in Chinatown on Kelaulike street on what is known as the pedestrian mall. Char Siu look funn is $2.50 and plain is $1.75. I love the char siu look funn and one piece is $2.50 which is a meal for me. One piece is one loooong roll which actually looks like 2 rolls. Bring cash because like many small Chinatown business they accept cash only. The noodles are soft and freshly made here, I always add shoyu and my tastebuds are doing a dance. I hope this place never goes out of business even though the original owner is gone, fresh look funn is the best! read more

Now I know, and now I'll go back... read more
