Friendly service, generous portions, reasonable prices, and of course...tasty food! And convenient location...Windward Mall food court.

The portions are generous for a fair price and the food is good. Panda Express pales in comparison. This is legit Chinese food and harkens back to the days of Patti's Kitchen. This is my go to place when at Windward Mall. When you go at 10am when they are just opening and everything is fresh it's even more bomb. I always get the Singaporean Noodles but you can get half and half with another noodle choice or fried rice. Love their sweet and sour pork, shoyu chicken, Kau Yuk, char siu, and various other assorted dishes. Dim sum is decent. Have also tried their won tun min. But it's the combination plates that really stand out. Service is quick and efficient even when the line is long. The food court has ample seating and it's a pleasant enough space. I usually get my plate to go. read more

I haven't tried any of the other foods here but the Won Ton Min was delicious! It was surprisingly a lot of food and just what I needed to satisfy my noodle soup crave. I would come here again just to order the won ton min again. read more

Best wonton mein and wor won ton mein in Kaneohe. The zuchini chicken was also tasty.

We had a power outage in Windward Mall last week but I saw these employees with head lamps on so it looked like they were still open! Cash only of course, but I got a place with singapore rice noodles and chow fun with sweet/spicy eggplant. The eggplant had a flavorful sauce, but wasn't spicy. The noodles were also tasty and had a good texture. I also tried a spring roll which was my favorite part and was only a dollar! They have lots of other options and I want to try their sweets too like rice cake next time! read more

Let me just explain to you that THIS. IS. AUTHENTIC. CHINESE. FOOD. Did you hear me?!?!?!?!? This place is like CRACK, and I mean that in the nicest way possible because, DAMN!!!!! This place is good. The Charsiu, the beef broccoli, the mushroom chicken. The Moon cakes. The Shrimp Chips. LOL it's just *chefs kiss* My mommy is also approves! I love this place, and I love coming to Windward Mall just to eat here. HOWEVER, it is a lil more expensive than your average Chinese restaurants that you'd dine in. This is located in a food court so there isn't a need to be served like the Chinese restaurants but I'm telling you this is the one! read more

Nothing fancy here at Chinatown Express located in Windward Mall food court. I've been purchasing food here for years and have always been satisfied. My favorite is pork bitter melon which I buy a side order portion and take it home. There is always short line here so I guess it is a popular restaurant among the locals. I know that there are a lot Panda fans out there but I prefer Chinatown express because it reminds me of the old Patti's Chinese Kitchen which was everybody's favorite back in the day. read more

Very affordable and great portion. The food was also delicious. Much better than the Panda Express food. I forgot what I got, but all the food was good. The side of fried noodles was kind of dry the first time I ordered it, but the flavor was still good. It's nice to get the food plated and be able to eat it right away compared to other places where the food is cooked to order. Don't get me wrong. I like my food cooked to order, but when you're starving, you don't want to wait 20 minutes to eat your food. read more

Chinese fast food at Windward Mall in Kaneohe... Tip: Here's how to get half off: go about half an hour before closing! Yesss! Dealages (as Bruddah Fran would say)! So, go at 8:30pm Monday through Saturday; and at 5:30pm on Sundays ...and bring cash! This evening, I got two entrees: orange chicken and green beans with chicken. For my starch selection, I chose half Singapore noodles and half chow funn. It's not the worst Chinese food and it's not the best. Everything so far has tasted alright and has filled me up! Chinatown Express (at the Food Court) is convenient (Windward Mall in Kaneohe) and it's affordable! Note: they also have cookies, joong, and local style dimsum Bonus: free parking at Windward Mall, convenient restroom, and cool air conditioning! read more

Surprisingly decent food court food. I got the lunch entree with 1 choice, Singaporean noodles and char siu. The quantity was great for the cost. Noodles were yummy, char siu had good flavor but not great quality cut a bit too fatty for me. I'll be back to try their other stuff. There was a line but it moved ok, workers were nice. I wanted the 1/2 shoyu chicken but they didn't offer it at lunch time. read more

The prices match the amount they give! My favorites here are definitely the pork hash, half moon, duck noodle, and a few of their entrees. They get five stars because I've always had welcoming and quick service. At the end of the transaction, there's mustard, shoyu, and another bottle with it already mixed. You can help yourself. If you're looking for quick service with decent food (that doesn't break your bank), go here! read more

Food is tasty. Portions are generous. Prices are reasonable. Service is fast considering they're busy. My favorite is their duck noodle.

The food is so delicious! The quantity is so big! The price is fair! I will come again if I travel to Hawaii again!

The 8 treasure cake noodle is the best best deal in the whole food court. Loaded with meat and veggies and very delicious.

The little red lanterns were so cute, we just had to stop by. The Lady working there was nice, and helped us to the best of her ability. But if we get to the food - it is not for the people with a weak stomach. Our fried noodles were deep fried and saturated in what tasted like old and reused grease. My personal recommendation: don't get anything fried there. A Soda (Pepsi) was necessary to wash the meal down. read more

5/3/21-5 stars ! Every time I order something from here, my plate is over flowing with sumptuous food! Today,teen boy & I just wanted a little snack & a drink from the "mall" ( Windward Mall). Needed to pick up a few things for; boy's day,mother's day, graduation & 2 birthdays! Whew ! The month of May just kicks my "okole " !!! Dim sum just ALWAYS hits da spot for a quick snack! Teen boy had an "Icee"- half coke & strawberry! We all do dat yah ? From the crack seed store upstairs. When I was small,my friends & I used to cut out the icee points printed on the cups & mail them in to redeem merch! Some of my friends got t-shirts, beach towels & duffel bags! I never got anything because I wasn't allowed to get icee enough! Boo hoo! Anyway...back to the dim sum ! Baked char siu bao w/2 huuuge pork hash! Wow! Da buggah was big yeah? (Look da pic) The bread was so soft,sweet & tender. Char siu was slightly shredded & easy to eat.( Jus in case u no moa teeth!) The pork hash was juuuuus right ! Not too salty,not too sweet... but jus right! It's my "Go To Place" in da mall ! I've tried almost every dish ; Chicken w/green beans,ginger chicken, sweet sour pork & Singapore noodles are some of my favorites ! When I'm broke,I always order the "Saimin". It comes with lots of mustard cabbage,won bok,thick pieces of char siu, tasty broth & lots of fresh noodles! I think I was speaking to the owner last time & I asked him what kind of soy sauce he uses. He said "Chinese Soy Sauce ". ( duh,I knew he was gonna say that!) I asked "What kind " he replied "Lee Kum Kee". I knew it! It's dark & salty,I went to the market that week to pick up a bottle & dumped the one we had in the dispenser @ home! I've been cooking w/ it ever since! I've yet to try their baked items; Almond cookies,tea cookies, sesame candy & they also have a small bag of honeyed walnuts from time to time ! We always eyeball that when we walk by ! I think shrimp chips are on the counter & rice cakes too! Sigh!!!! I want it all !!!! I'll NEVER be skinny!!!! read more

Chinatown Express is consistent with their big portions. It is a typical mom & pop Chinese food place you'd see at the mall. The ambiance of this place is good, nothing fancy or upscale about this place. Good value for amount of food you get and kind service. Pro tip: go toward closing and food is sold at discount. read more

Second time trying this place and its the worst Chinese Food in Windward Mall. Avoid at all cost and just go to Panda Express. The first time I tried this place I ordered the 2 choice meal which was Beef Broccoli, fish Flounder, and fried rice. The dish was so oily, it game me stomach ache after eating it. I am not sure if they reuse the same oil but it wasn't clean at ALL. Today I only ate 2 Pork Hash and 1 Charsiu Manapua. The Charsiu Manapua was sweet like teriyaki sauce with chunks of large pork fat inside. Disgusting and oily, tasted almost like a Teriyaki burger. The worst was the Pork Hash, it had a PLASTIC WRAPPER inside. I always look at what ever I eat and this is one plain reason why if it feels wrong while your chewing, spit it out!!! I could have choked on the piece of plastic wrapper, who ever is prepping their pork hash need to look better. On the side note other than the Plastic in the Pork Hash, I have stomach ache again from this place which is crazy as I didn't eat much of it. Stay away from this place very oily food and beware of PLASTIC IN PORK HASH. read more

I used to always go to Panda Express but one day I thought I would try Chinatown Express instead and boy was I glad I did. First off, I noticed that their chow mein noodles tasted better. It had more bite and wasn't over cooked. The next week I went and it was a tad overdone but today I ordered it again and it was perfect. Also, they give very generous portions and they are cheaper then Panda Express. Plus, they have my favorite, sweet sour pork, which I love but Panda doesn't make. I think that Chinatown Express food taste more like what I would get from a real chinese restaurant whereas Panda's I knew it was coming from a food chain. My only complaint is that the sauces are a little too thick and I wish they would cut down on the corn starch a bit. But maybe they do that so the sauces don't co mingle with the other foods? Anyway, I can live with that so no more Panda Express for me! read more

Food here is flavorful and the portions today are decent. I like that they have jook (congee) here. It's probably the only fast food place I know of that serves jook. The jook is tasty as well. Prices are also decent. This is also the first place I've seen that puts peanuts on the seafood jook. Seafood jook comes with shrimp and flounder. A little less ginger slivers in the jook would've been nice Nevertheless the food still is delicious! Please see my pics. read more

I always walked by and turned away thinking "What kind of Chinese food is decent at the mall?" Today we decided to stop in and have a taste. Holy GREAT WALL OF CHINA Batman this is some good food. We had Shanghai noodles, beef with broccoli and roast pork. I gotta say that their roast pork was one of the best that I've had. Please accept my apologies for not coming in sooner. Don't turn away give this place a try. read more

This use to be my favorite place for Woh Won Ton Mein and I recommended it to all my friends. I ordered this for years. What made it special is each won ton has a decent size shrimp. Now they no longer have the shrimp inside and it is no different that any place else. You ruined a good thing you had going on by saving a few cents removing the shrimp. read more

Located in the Windward Mall food court, they have a variety of Chinese entrees. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. They even have food that are not commonly found in other Chinese take outs. I would recommend you try this place if you are in the mall and want Chinese food. read more

We took our 22 month-old grandson to Windward Mall in Kaneohe today and walked their food court to find something for lunch around 12:30p. Decided to try the fried rice and a baked char siu manapua at Chinatown Express ... not sure but they might have previously been at the Ala Moana Shopping Center Makai Market oFood Court. Although both items tasted fine, they were not hot or even warm ... the fried rice was somewhat oily and the manapua bun was a little hard (stale) and the char siu filling was dry at room temperature. We were surprised because it was lunch time ... read more

Best bang for your buck. Order the 8 treasure wonton crispy noodle. Its called 8 treasure because they have 8 different ingredients in a savory gravy. Wish they had more wontons (they put 3ea). Make sure you tell them to separate the noodles and gravy. When you get home pour it on and grind. If you don't like crispy noodles then the soft saimin noodles are also delicious. Winner. read more

Love the Singapore noodles!!! The chicken & mushroom with zucchini is delicious! My husband loves the coconut gin-doi , a review said it's gummy, it has coconut mochi in it and mochi is gummy, we loved it! read more

We travel from the west end frequently to enjoy the char siu fried rice & minute chicken! Best minute chicken we've ever had!

It's too bad... What could have been a decent experience had quickly turned sour. PROS: + They have roast pork and roast duck + Conveniently located in the mall food court CONS: - Mediocre greasy food - Did not honor their own coupon - Bad customer service After a quick hike at the Lanikai Pillboxes Joel H. and I had headed to Windward Mall because I wanted to check out Soul Trex, and we decided to get some lunch while we were there. It was about 1:00pm on a Monday afternoon when we got there. We looked around the food court to see what we had to choose from. It was a toss up between Maruki-Tei, and Chinatown Express because I always eat at Hotdog on a Stick whenever I'm at Windward Mall, and I wanted to change it up a little. I decided on Chinatown Express because they had roast pork and duck, and I had a couple dollar off coupons for them. $1 Off Coupon: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/9mLMGX3kFts_p_qaoCsUZg?select=OfhUCOlfNdVGLgUsvV7G1Q#ZeH-ORILNqOaSuMg4cCTQg Maybe this coupon was intended to be used at a specific location, but that restriction is not listed anywhere on the coupon. I know it's only a one dollar off coupon, and a dollar isn't a big deal, but the fact that I wasn't able to use it because they had no idea what to do, and then being told to bring it in next time really irked me. What happens when I bring it in again next time, and they still don't honor it, and tell me to come in and use it again the next time after that? I'm just cutting my losses and ending it here. I ordered my food, Kung Pao Fried rice, Roast Pork, Roast Duck, and Mushroom Chicken. I got to the register to pay, and handed over my coupon, and the unfriendly middle aged Chinese lady who was helping me seemed confused with the coupon. She discussed it with her co-worker, a younger unfriendly Chinese lady about it (in Chinese), and the younger one asked me what it was. And I pointed out that it was a coupon for Chinatown Express for a dollar off. She said she didn't know, and handed it back to me asking me to bring it back to use it next time. Apparently they don't honor their own coupons, and then say to bring it back next time?!... Sorry, Chinatown Express in Windward Mall, but there will never ever be a next time for me and you. As for the food, it could have been because of my bad experience at the register, but the food was gross. The Kung Pao Fried rice was red, and looked spicy, but was actually kind of bland, and just very slightly spicy. Nice try. The Mushroom Chicken was pretty standard except for the undercooked zucchini. Some of them were actually crunchy. Fail. The roast pork and roast duck were cold, soggy and greasy. The fat in the pork wasn't melt-in-your-mouth soft, like how it's supposed to be. It was actually pretty solid, and the skin was chewy, not crispy. I wonder how long it was sitting out there getting cold and bacteria ridden. I should have just stuck with Hotdog on a Stick, or waited in line for Maruki-Tei. At least for next time my decision will be 33% easier. If I'm ever in Windward Mall, and feeling like fake Chinese food I'm walking down the other hallway to Panda Express. Never again for the Windward Mall location of Chinatown Express! read more

Chinatown Express - My coupon that wasn't honored - Chinese Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

- Much smaller (= less offerings) than the Ala Moana location. - Considering it's fast-food/food court Chinese food, I wasn't expecting the greatest quality food. However, even considering this, the quality was pretty mediocre. Kind of greasy actually... + Convenient location (Windward Mall food court). + Surprisingly, their pancit bison is really good - better than Golden Coin!!! Lots of better food options in and near the mall. read more

One of my new lunch break stops! Their baked manapua is filled with mostly air inside :( but it still tastes really good. The steamed is filled. I like their half moon and bean jin doy. It's sooo delicious! The food is really quick. The workers are okay, some nicer than others, but it really is just like any other Chinese fast food restaurant. read more

The overall initial look wasn't unappealing which is why we chose to eat there. The worker prepared our food without any gloves on and coughed into his hand into the middle of serving it. They ran their hands over water for 2 seconds and continues serving. The roast pork was so over cooked you couldn't bite through it, and what wasn't over cooked was rubbery. The rice and noodles were dry and lacked a lot of flavor. We took three bites of food and literally could not finish the rest. read more

Great stuff, especially the crispy noodles. Roast pork and char-siu pork are also great.

I ordered cold ginger chicken and the woman gave me one small container of ginger sauce. I asked for another container and got attitude. What makes ginger chicken is the sauce. The little container only covers one large piece of chicken. I also ordered a can of coca cola and asked cup of ice. She told me she could only give me the complimentary cup. The cup was so thin it was hard to hold without squeezing out the contents. read more

It looked pretty authentic and good, but I was disappointed with everything I got, their roast pork was soggy and the lady only gave me the fat. The orange chicken was soggy like biting into mush. The sweet and sour pork was also soggy. Chow mein was dry, Chow fun was not seasoned well. Only the almond cookies were good. Genuinely disappointed. read more
