    Chives Shrimp Pork Dumplings
    Sungju K.

    I've always wanted to try this place because I love Taiwanese food. But maybe because I had such high expectations, I was pretty disappointed with everything. First, the price was pretty high compared to the amount of food they served and the flavor of their menu. The pork rice bowl had way too much rice compared to the pork, and I think I only had half of the rice to eat with the pork on top. All the foods we ordered wasn't very flavorful either and they charged 3% for credit cards. The economy is tough right now so that may explain the card charge and the portion size but I don't think I'll be going to this place again. It was good to try but wasn't impressionable!

    Food is AMAZING. This has got to be the best Taiwanese spot on island. First off, the decor of the place is beautiful and I love how you can spot all the different lanterns, tea leaves and dragon art designs right when you walk in. It isn't just a food experience, but it feels like you are being transported to another world. The food is extremely delicious and well seasoned and flavored. Staff is also nice as well. And there are plenty of seating. One complaint I would have is the portions are a little bit small, but not too bad. I was pleasantly surprised that their pork chops were not too dry, it had the perfect crunch to flavor moist ratio!

    Classic Braised Beef Noodle Soup
    Cailean C.

    Always love coming to this place for a quick and simple meal. Their soups are delicious and quite filling for the price. Service is quick and inside is nice. There is plenty of parking surrounding the area in the Pearl Kai shopping plaza. Usually order their classic beef noodle soup and can't go wrong with it.

    Oxtail Beef Soup

    He said it and they listened. Back in 2020, Elite Yelper Rod U. shared his valuable opinion on the food and pricing at this establishment. As any good manager would, they took his review and made improvements. For shareable starters, we ordered three appetizers. Their Boom Boom Chicken is excellent! Generous portion, great crunch on the outside, tender and tasty on the inside, and seasoned with that signature Taiwanese flavor. We finished every delicious morsel. Then we shared the Mala Wonton. If you like heat, this has a chili kick to it. Generous portion of dumplings topped with a spicy chili sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds. I normally don't eat spicy but glad to try this one. The most favorite dish at the table, enjoyed by everyone, was their fried fish filet. Again, another generous portion of something shareable. But after you tasted this fish, you might not want to share. Order this up for yourself! A few days after our delicious dining experience, our dinner guest said, "I feel like ordering a bunch of that fried fish from Fooki. That taste was incredible!" He also had the ox rib soup which had meaty portions of tender beef ribs. The broth was excellent and they served this with a side of rice and grated ginger dipping sauce. I had the mushroom noodle soup. When I requested this, our server made sure to tell me that it was beef broth in case I was a strict vegan. Oh this was a nice warm bowl of yummy comfort. Generous tender noodles with a nice balance of mushrooms and baby bok choy. Glad I tried it! Last but not least, we had the Trio Cup Chicken. This was full of flavor and easily feeds two people. Tender chicken bites seasoned in sweet soy glaze, garlic, and basil. Will totally come back to have more. Thank you everyone at Fooki. We enjoyed our meal and wonderful customer service. You will see us again, as we really enjoyed the tasty food, especially your fried fish filet!

    Fooki our favorite Taiwanese restaurant . We brought some out of town guests to have lunch. They loved it . Service was great. We ordered the MaLa Wontons and the Grand Pa Beef Rolls for appetizers. They were delicious. For entrees we tried the Classic Wonton bowl, the Classic Beef bowl, the Monster Pork Chops, the 3 Cup Chicken, and Fooki Pork Belly bowl. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. But the Pork Chops were exceptional. Crispy outside but tender and moist inside. The rice that accompanied it was equally tasty and delicious. Nicely decorated dining room. Highly recommend

    Our daughter is a picky eater and loves Asian food. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. They opened at 11am. We came here for lunch. Decor is a bit outdated. The staff all spoke English and Mandarin. We ordered 3 items shrimp, pork and chives dumplings - plump and you can tell they are very much homemade. Came with a housemade dipping sauce. I thought this was just okay. Popcorn chicken - Comes with a lot and well done. Our daughter loved it and ate half of the chicken. Stir fried veggies - This was very good although also a bit homey. Something my parents would make at home. Service was fine. They did give my toddler utensils/bowl/plate. Surcharge for credit card so we paid in cash. I did feel this place was a bit costly. $16 for the veggies and $22 for the dumplings.

    Minced Pork Noodles
    Lyle S.

    I picked up the Minced Pork Noodles for lunch during the week. The texture of the noodles were great for getting this as take out, but the overall dish was a little bland for my liking. The portion was great and the right amount for me for lunch. I liked the Mala Wonton Noodles from the last time I went, but it was too spicy so I just got a side of Mala sauce to add to my dish. This restaurant is located in Pearl Kai Shopping Center so there is a lot of available parking. Overall Fooki is a great spot for lunch or dinner and will definitely go back.

    Decided to try this little spot. My husband's words "I think I found my new favorite spot" the inside is decorated with lanterns and other cute decor. The staff are really friendly and give recommendations when asked. Everything we tried was delicious and we will definitely be going back.

    Beef Scallion Noodles
    Mj S.

    It's a very casual Taiwanese restaurant. My good friend took me to this restaurant, and I really liked the beef scallion noodles. It didn't have soup, but it wasn't dry either. But it was tasty!! I ordered the Cow Wow Braised Noodles because I was told that it's going to be spicy. I paid $2 extra, but it wasn't spicy at all. But it was still okay--not my favorite. The grandpa beef roll though, it was so delicious! Sweet and savory at the same time. I personally did not like the cold ginger chicken since I like eating chicken warm lol. The server was attentive.

    Li Hing Mui Sweet Potatoes Fries - SO GOOD!
    Romyn S.

    I knew this was on my list for a reason and I'm glad I finally got to go here! THE FOOD IS SO GOOD! I went here with three adults and a baby. We got the Boom Boom Chicken, rolling something (refer to picture), Monster Pork Chop, Mala Wonton Noodles, Li Hing Mui Sweet Potato Fries (these were so good, I don't know how they cooked it but the crunchiness and texture were amazing), two desserts and I remember getting a scallion pancake (just didn't take a pic). We were all full and we had left over food as well. Atmosphere - Chill vibes, good lighting (helped with the pictures), at least 5 tables. We went on a rainy day and in the middle of the week so it wasn't too busy which was nice so we didn't have to wait. Service - Friendly! I don't know if it was the manager or whoever but the guy that was helping us was so nice. He answered the questions we had, said hi to the baby and was kind. Cost - To be honest, I don't recall the overall cost but the range of each dish was $14 - $25 depending on whether it's an appetizer or main dish. Parking - It's in a plaza with other businesses so there's plenty of park right in front of the restaurant and around it. Location - Aiea, in a plaza off of Kamehameha highway. I would definitely come here to eat again! I want to try their other dishes and get some of the same things again :).

    Fooki is a cute little Taiwanese restaurant located in Aiea. I had actually never heard of this restaurant, but a good friend of mine recommended it so we made reservations for dinner. We ordered the Li Hing sweet potato fries, Fooki bao, monster pork chops, and boom boom chicken. Everything was delicious! Service was excellent. This restaurant had a very small family like feel. It felt very welcoming. Not sure if it's family run or not. Definitely want to come back and try some other options on the menu.

    Cowwow Braised Noodle Soup
    Richard D.

    It's been awhile since we last had lunch here. A new owner and expanded menu... still great Taiwanese noodle soup. Service is excellent and our server was very friendly, even explaining the Mandarin meaning of Fooki, since we asked. It's very chill and casual. Like many small noodle shops in Taipei, it has an industrial feel to the ambience... which is cool. Highly recommend Fooki for noodles... so Onolicious!

    I came here for lunch with a small group and out of town guests and everyone enjoyed their food. It was delicious! Fooki is located at Pearl Kai shopping center across pearlridge and lots of free parking. Our group of 6 walked in without a reservation for lunch. Some of the things that we ordered was the li hing mui sweet potato fries, braised beef noodle soup and the trio cup chicken. Everything was so good. The braised beef noodle soup was delicious and the beef was nice and tender. Service was great, the guy helping us was super helpful for the menu and what to order that fitted what we wanted to eat. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes and trying their special teas and coffees next time.

    Classic Braised Beef Noodle Soup. It had just enough heat in it that made it tasty but not overwhelming spicy.

    Do they use msg in their food?

    I don't think so

    Is everything spicy or do they have non-spicy options?

    They have plenty of non spicy options to enjoy!

    Do we need to reserve?

    No reservations are needed.

    We were there today (5/10/22) a little before 5 PM - door was chain locked from the outside, but the restaurant's neon sign said OPEN. Peeked inside and no one. No servers, no customers. Are you guys still in business?

    That's odd- they are closed on Mondays but should be open 430p.

    Do they have food with peanuts, or are aware for people with food allergies?

    You can call them but as far as we know, it is not like Thai or Vietnamese where they commonly use peanuts.… 

    Do you take reservations?

    Hi Catherine. Yes, we only take reservation through phone (808) 484-9188. Thank you!

    Is the Boom Boom Chicken boneless?

    Yes, crispy deliciousness

    Do they offer gift cards?

    Yes Serena, we do sell electronic gift card, which you can purchase online at Fookihawaii.com. You have options to either send it directly to the recipients or send to your own email and print it out for them.

The flavors are fresh and well balanced. They have low-fat, non-fat, non-dairy options and the best part is the endless yogurt and topping combinations. You can really make it exactly how you want every time. The toppings bar has so many great options, like anything you can think of that would go well with yogurt--it's there. Don't forget your drizzle! Those are soo hard to choose from. Everything is clean and well-stocked. The staff are always super kind and welcoming.

You grab a bowl, fill it with the soft serve of your choice and put on your toppings. It's charged by weight. It's $0.79 for an oz. When you check out, they put the bowl on the scale and they tell you how much your bowl is. Our bowl came out to 13.8 oz. and we paid around $11. The flavors they had today were vanilla, chocolate, coffee, yellow cake batter, strawberry, original tart, taro, lychee tart, Hawaiian Delight, Dole Whip, Samurai Blue Vanilla and Samurai Honeydew. We got the Hawaiian Delight and Dole Whip swirl topped with tiny mochi bits. Both of the flavors blended well. The Hawaiian Delight tasted like strawberry guava and on the sweeter side. The Dole Whip was pineapple and on the tart side. It was perfect on this hot day.
