You know it's good when there's one Chinese lady taking orders, filling waters and bringing out food for the entire restaurant. Props to that lady man. My grandpas a very hard person to please when it comes to food and every time he comes here he loves it. Can't go wrong with any item on the menu. And on top of that it has that spinny thing in the middle. 10/10 read more

Save yourself your money. Worst customer service. The lady who served us was rude. Food was cold so we asked to get it re heated. She took our plates and came back 15 min later saying she put in the microwave for 3 min. We were the only customers. So why did it take her 15 min to bring the food out. Our other dishes were cold by then. It was a horrible experience. read more

This place is awesome. Called in our phone order at 2pm to pick up at 515pm. Well I strongly believe that if this wasn't Chinese New Year, all would have gone well. Although had to wait for over an hour for the food, I will still come back again. Everyone was in the same situation, waiting for over an hour for phone orders but no one complained at all. Everyone could see how hard they were working . Bless their . There is no dine in just take out. We ordered, house noodles, steam fish, eggplant, Kau yuk, beef with Choy sum, roast duck, gau gee, chicken with black bean sauce and salt pepper shrim. Everything was delicious. From where I was standing , the place seemed clean too...we will be back!! read more

Read a lot of Yelp reviews and wanted to try it. Came by and saw an empty restaurant. Parked went up to the business, only to find out that it was take out only... Next time I'll try it, I was looking for a dine in place. read more

Not a fan for takeout. Ordered sweet and sour shrimp, received a box of basically batter with tiny shrimp inside. The sauce was good but overall dish was not enjoyable due to the excessive batter. Egg blossom soup had some sort of meat in it, I'm thinking pork. This is not listed on the menu as I don't like pork and wouldn't have ordered it if I knew. I can't really tell you where the egg even was in this dish, was super thick and full of meat. Paid a total of $30 for rice, s&s shrimp, and the soup. The portions were sufficient but the food itself was not worth the money. Highly disappointed and wouldn't return. read more

New owners very nice. Service was fast. Food was tasty good. We had a ten course meal and everything was great. Just as good as before. They were open on Thanksgiving Day (had plenty parking ) Tried the chicken salad, fried chicken, fried rice with salty fish, beef broccoli, Peking duck with the steamed buns, Kauyuk, cake noodle with minute chicken, and Gau gee. They all were so ONO! We will be back. read more

our fave chinese restuarant in town. for both take out and dine in. reliable and reasonable and never leaves us feeling in a MSG coma. our go to's are the minute ckn chow mein, honey walnut shrimp, kao yuk, beef brocolli ans gau gee all the usuals! read more

First off, we have been coming here since the beginning a couple of decades ago and the food still remains tasty and the quality very high. The owner is the sweetest person and her employees are super nice as well. They have a very popular lunchtime special that is very much with the price as it also comes with soup and it is not a scaled down verion unlike some other places. Basically you are getting the full portion in your order plus soup for a discounted price. Had the sizzling bbq beef with onions and mapo tofu. Theirs is super obo over rice. Like always everything was on point and we walked out with enough leftovers for at least 3 days of lunch. read more

Good tasting food never cease to amaze me. Chinese new year was great. Restaurant was very busy. Glad to see that

I was a bit apprehensive trying golden wheel under new ownership, after having eaten there for the past 25yr and loving it everytime I decided to try something easy gau gi min in soup probably not how it's spelled lol, it was great flavors were spot on fast service I was very pleased. read more

This is my go to for Chinese food place that's quick, affordable and good portions. I use to go another place but the food quality just wasn't there anymore. I really enjoy this place. They are also next to a boba tea place another bonus! read more

Great food and excellent service. Shrimp fried rice, stuffed tofu, salt and pepper pork chops, honey walnut shrimp..so ono

The new owners need to go back to the old cooks and recipes. Food is bland and there's no wok taste! Worst Chinese food I've ever had. I miss the old Golden Wheel Chinese food. I hate to leave a bad review but I hope the new owners see this and change the food back to what it used to be! read more

First time here and the food was reminiscent of my childhood. One of the only times my family was all out together and eating at a Chinese restaurant, these were the flavors I remember. The crispy gaugee: good meat to wonton ratio and not too heavy feeling on the grease as some can be Chicken fried rice: may look a little anemic but the flavor profile is there! Must be the msg or something cuz it was tasty and the chicken was tender Beef chow fun and minute chicken were decent. And my husband said the ginger chicken was good too. Good food, good quantity and affordable. Will definitely be back to try other items! read more

We went there this past week and was suprised at all the new faces working there. They had one of the best Lunch and Dinner plates on the island. Now the chow mein noodles were hard with a different taste, the fried rice didn't have the same taste, and what I thought was the beef broccoli had no beef and no broccoli, only cabbage. Needless to say I was very disappointed with the food and will not return. read more

My family has been coming here for as long as I can remember and this restaurant is still the go to place for family events. It has a homely feel and Stella has been making her customers feel welcome for many years. The scallop soup is a family favorite. The roast duck with buns is a staple that must be ordered. My personal favorite is the salt and pepper shrimp fried so perfectly the tail and especially the head is the best part of the whole dish. I love the fried oysters that come with a seasoned salt that just pushes the whole dish to another level. read more

Golden Wheel - Scallop soup - Chinese Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

It's been a long time since I've dined here, but after dining here recently with my in-laws, I think we'll come more often. The food is tasty (although I think they use MSG because I was really thirsty after our meal!), the service is quick, and they have all of our favorite chinese dishes on the menu. I really liked the crispy gau gee, mongolian beef, and salt and pepper prawns. The fried rice tasted a bit bland to me, but my sons seemed to enjoy it a lot! read more

We were there for a family gathering. The gathering took up the entire restaurant. The service was very good. The waitresses kept our water cups filled and tended to our requests. The soup was pieces of chicken and corn in cornstarch-thickened broth. The Chinese chicken salad was very salty. I could not taste any dressing, just salt. It was unpalatable. The rest of the food was mediocre. read more

#22 review for 2019. Flavor: Ordered a small plate of crispy gau gee and the house cake noodle. I can see how the crispy gau gee is popular as the filling was generous, tasty, and the breading was not oily. I prefer my cake noodles pan fried a lot more in order for the crispiness to stand up to the sauce. If I come back, I am going to try the mapo tofu as another table ordered it and it looked better than the house noodle. Ambiance: It has the "old school" "hole in the wall" feel and decor but clean, no clutter. Value: The crispy gau gee (five pieces) $? and the house cake noodle was $11 plus an up-charge for the cake noodle upgrade. It was par for the course as value was concerned - may be a tad higher than other locations. Service: The staff are nice but they could have let me know that they had a crispy gau gee cake noodle dish (which I overlooked) that would have been perfect versus ordering them separately. It would have been more economical at $10 plus the up-charge for the cake noodle upgrade as it was more than enough food for two people. read more

My spouse and I came in late night after the dinner rush and most of the staff were tired and deservingly going home. I was completely fine with this as I worked as a hotel chef and just retired two months prior. We were hungry after finishing up with some house work and did not want to cook so we found your restaurant still open. We went in and ordered two take-out orders of soft gau gee mein and generously tipped your remaining server. We returned home and enjoyed your food. It satisfied not only our appetite but it was flavorful as well, with an added bonus of having zero bamboo shoots and zero water chestnuts we could appreciate!!!! We love high quality bamboo shoots but many restaurants add the cheaper ones and chestnuts for texture but primarily as a filler to the dish. You also used kai choy (mustard cabbage) which is not often seen and we loved that. We will definitely be dining at your restaurant once we are settled into our new home in upper Aiea! A little fun fact: My grandmother was 100% chinese with last name Mock. Thank you again, The Nelsons read more

Great food and friendly service. Went there for New Years dinner since House of Dragon closed.

I called at 4, asked for it to be ready at 5 Waited till 540. No apology, just yelled, "we busy" I wish they would have told me they needed 1.5 hours to make a pan of noodles, I would have gone some place else read more

My first experience with Golden Wheel was back in September. I was feeling under the weather, and Wor Wonton soup is my go-to cure. 'Wor' means "everything" in Chinese, which makes sense with this soup, since they put everything but the kitchen sink into it! With a chicken broth base, they add pork, shrimp, bok choy, cabbage, dumplings and noodles. When it was delivered, they separated the noodles from the broth in order to keep everything fresh. I ordered my daughter some fried shrimp and was pleasantly surprised that it was not small but Jumbo Shrimp,(an oxymoron, but yeah) lightly battered, and so ono! Everything from the soup to the shrimp to the eggrolls were perfect, and became our new favorite! I have ordered since, but they stopped doing delivery. No worries. It's close by in Aiea, and worth the trip! read more

I keep coming back for their Gon Lo Mein. Oily but soo good. Sweet sour pork is great too.

I don't even want to give one star but to post I had to give at least 1 star. Last week for lunch my boss was treating me and three coworkers to lunch. There was a total of 5 us. The tables were arranged for 2 tables for 8 people each and the rest was for 4 people each. The tables for 4 people were tight. She said she has a group of 8 coming. We said okay we will use the other table. Keep in mind they were not busy at all. We told her we were eating family style and she said no the table for 4 was enough space that just needs an extra chair. No way would we have enough space for the 5 of us family style. The table for 4 people barely had room for 5 table settings let alone food. We asked can we put another table for 4 together and said we can do it. She says no you 5 stay on this table (which was for 4people). We said there's no room for the food. She says no move table. We told her we would leave if she won't try to accommodate us and she then takes menus and says yeah you guys go. Okay we gone, we will never return for take out or eat in the restaurant. I live in the area and at times would order take out. Never again will I go there! So rude! No need business I guess. Needless to say we went to another Chinese restaurant that was way more accommodating, nice and appreciative. read more

I was pleasantly surprised after my first visit to Golden Wheel. I ordered the sweet & sour pork with a side of rice which took around 10 minutes to come out. The woman working the counter was attentive and friendly and handed me my order while I waited outside on the sidewalk. The food was delicious and was one of the best Chinese dished I have had - Will definitely be back. read more

Food was excellent and served steaming and hot at a good pace on the lazy susan. Helpings are generous and service is respectful and timely. This is a small venue for Chinese type big table dining, but not crowded and a comfortable ambience for our table of 8. We will be returning . read more

Golden Wheel has been our family's go to Chinese restaurant in the Aiea area. Even though there's no shortage of Chinese restaurants on the island, if you want old time local chop suey style meals, this is the place to go. We enjoy the minute chicken chow main with large tender pieces of boneless chicken, mixed with ong choy and chow mein... as well as the flavorful beef chow fun with black bean sauce. You can't go wrong with the tasty cuisine, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Whenever you need a quick take out Chinese meal, just stop by Golden Wheel...you won't be disappointed! read more

First timer buying food here, the restaurant is still closed so you cannot dine in. We called in our order however when you get there if someone is picking up an order you need to wait outside until they exit the restaurant until you can go in to get your order. So depending if there are lots of people picking up their food it can be a pretty long wait since there was only one lady cashing people out. We ordered Ginger chicken and an order of Beef Choisum Crispy Noodles and both dishes were excellent! Would definitely try other dishes from here again. read more

Have always eaten here from when I was a kid, and they use to have two waitresses. The food from what I can tell is the same. And recently have reopened for dine in read more

Food good for price. Like their cake noodles. Consistent. Dine in seating tight and limited (50pax?)

I have been coming to this place since I was a little kid. Located behind Aiea library, this family restaurant has been one of my fave go-to Chinese restaurants for over 20 years! You will almost always be greeted by Stella, the restaurant owner. The place is quaint and needs some upgrading but it has looked the same for most of my life, which makes it nostalgic for me. The menu is simple, organized by dish type ex: chicken, beef, noodles, soup..... very straightforward I have many favorite dishes here but top 5 are.. Crispy gau gee mein Pork w/Chinese peas over cake noodle Steamed ginger fish Cashew nut chicken And their egg blossom soup Any of the dishes with gravy can be served over cake noodle if you request it. The cooks can also make your favorite Chinese food standards if not on the menu ( I asked for choy sun w/oyster sauce... not on the menu but came out delish when I requested it!!) It's not the most upscale glamorous restaurant there is but if you want good food, for a good price, and a family environment... this is the spot! Also... they're open most holidays and are great for party/catering pans! read more

Very good Chinese food especially the spicy garlic eggplant... sometimes the wait is long, just call in your order ahead, usually they tell you how long it will take for the food to be ready. read more

We initially were going to another restaurant for take-out, but it was closed, so we decided to try Golden Wheel. As I saw the heaping servings that were presented on the tables, I was very disappointed when they only gave half the amount for take out for the same price as eat in: Cold Ginger onion chicken - 3 stars for the taste, 2 stars for the portion - I liked the flavor of the ginger onion sauce, but the chicken was a little old and pasty, and they only gave half of what all other chinese restaurants give. I thought they gave a lot when I opened the box, but I found that the bottom was filled with lettuce to make the chicken look a lot. We only had 8 pieces of chicken on top of a mound of lettuce with mostly white meat, that I couldn't really eat any of it since I only like dark meat. Eggplant stir fry - 3 stars - the eggplant was very soft, and a lot of sauce. It was ok, but not the best I've eaten Service - 3 stars - the staff was friendly, but how can they dupe a take out dish since they know I wouldn't see it entirely until it is served, and give only half the serving of what I paid for? A good place for a good serving for eat-in, but check your servings when taking out. read more

I ate here for the first time yesterday with my coworkers and I love the fast service during a quick lunch break. I ordered the crispy gau gee min which is my "go to" at every Chinese restaurant and it met my expectations. Yummy crispy gau gee with veggies and two piece of shrimp. Such a good deal. Everyone on our table got complimentary soup. Photo attached. My coworkers all got the Monday to Friday lunch special for $8.50 where you can choose from a variety of items including char siu, wor won ton min, stuffed eggplant, minute chicken. Extra 50 cents for cake noodle. I'll definitely be back since they are fast which I need during my lunch break and food was tasty and reasonably priced. They take reservations too which accommodated our group of 12. read more

Very tasty food!! We always patronize this restaurant. There's so much gravy. It's best if you ask to bag the meal individually. I don't think they use MSG. Not thirsty after eating. read more

I like their cake noodles. I always do take out and have gotten them to leave the sauce on the side so the noodles stays crisp until I'm home then pour it over. My husband enjoys their plate lunch and he sometimes order entrees for home. All good eats. read more
