To be honest, we stopped in because we thought it was Hawaiian food. We were so pleased with the food. The portion sizes were incredible but we will definitely be back for the service. The 2 running the store were so friendly and helpful. What we ate: Pot stickers Shrimp fried rice Short ribs Thai tea We can't wait to go back in and try some other stuff on the menu! read more

Okay first of all 10/10. Everything and I mean everything was absolutely delicious. The service was phenomenal and they made sure we were more than pleased. Definitely in my top 3 for Chinese food now! Me and my fiancé have already made plans to go back this Sunday!! read more

I would like to say I'll be back, because I love to support local, but I won't. Small location in a strip mall. I've been trying to visit but always miss the hours they are open. Finally snagged an early (10:15A - they open at 10A) Tuesday lunch. A couple of customers who appeared to be towards the end of their meal. Otherwise restaurant not busy at all. Took a seat and finally got up to review the pictures on the wall since I wasn't greeted. A lady in the kitchen noticed me and brought me a menu and the canned soda I ordered. Very little English spoken. Ordered a simple lunch special of Thai BBQ Pork with fried rice. 30 min later I'm getting antsy. 40 min later I hunt down the lady (who is in the kitchen) and inquire on my food. I'm told it is almost ready. I ask them to make it to go, since I am about to be late for an 11:30A meeting. 7 more minutes and I am checked out and on my way home. Good taste, ample portions but threw out leftovers; did not seem to be a meal that was going to reheat well. $2 soda, lunch special, with tax $16.46. read more

Hawaii City Restaurant - Thai BBQ Chicken w Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

While heading to Sam's Club in Manhattan, I often noticed this restaurant and finally had the chance to try it out with my sisters. The restaurant has plenty of seats but can't say much about parking since it's shared by other business. We were surprised to discover they are the original owners of Hong Minh Restaurant in Harvey, which we frequently meet up for lunch or ordering catering for our party before they sold the restaurant. However, be prepared for a longer wait due to understaffing. The service was family-run, with the son preparing dishes in the kitchen and his mother and another server attending to us. The wings were a standout, full of flavor and seasoning. We also enjoyed two types of Mei Fun noodles - House and Singapore. I preferred the House version, while the Singapore had a unique flavor profile with turmeric or curry. The salt and pepper squid was delicious, especially when dipped in lemon. We also had the salt and pepper pork chop, which was tasty. Given our great experience, we'll be back for sure. read more

Walking into Hawaii City about 15 minutes after they opened was like stepping into a warm hug. We were greeted by a kind gentleman, later revealed to be the owner, who set the tone for what would be an unforgettable experience. Menus in hand, he encouraged us to take our time reviewing, and his attentiveness was a standout from the jump. We kicked things off with two Thai teas, fried potstickers, combination lo mein, and the highly anticipated salt and pepper chicken (yes, the TikTok-famous one from FoodieWithTheBooty). Let me just say, the attention to detail here is unmatched--when he asked if pork potstickers were okay, I really appreciated the thoughtfulness and awareness. Major points for that! First up: the potstickers. Fried to golden perfection, each bite was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired with a sauce that had us guessing (fish or oyster-based?) but never questioning how delicious it was. The Thai tea followed, slightly warm at first (they had clearly just made it), but with enough ice to cool it down--it was fresh and fabulous. Then came the combination lo mein, and let me tell you, this dish came to slay. Packed with jumbo shrimp, marinated pork, tender chicken strips, and crunchy bean sprouts, this wasn't your typical lo mein. The noodles were unique--different, but they WORKED. Every bite was a perfect balance of protein, noodles, and flavor. No condiments needed; it was goodddttttt on its own! Finally, the pièce de résistance: the salt and pepper chicken, affectionately dubbed by the owner as "The Star of the Westbank." And honey, no lies were told. It arrived fresh out of the fryer, steaming hot, with a warning from the owner himself not to dive in just yet (another plus--he didn't want my son burning his mouth). Once we managed to be patient, it was worth every second. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with jalapeños and garlic garnishes that elevated every bite. My son went full "Asian style" with it--he left no evidence it was ever chicken! Beyond the food, the customer service was 100 stars and priceless. The owner's warmth and genuine care made us feel valued and important--not just another table. To the owners: you deserve all the recognition coming your way. You've created something special, and I'll recommend this gem to anyone who will listen. Great flavors, clean establishment and service that feels like family--Hawaii City has earned a permanent spot on my foodie favorites list. Thank you for an unforgettable meal! read more

Hawaii City Restaurant - Chicken, Shrimp & Broccoli with fried rice & a Spring Roll - Chinese Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

Don't let the outside and inside decor fool you... this place is a hidden gem! Although the decorum is very plain, everything was still clean and the service was very nice. We ordered the Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings ($13.99) & the Mongolian Beef ($18.00). The Mongolian Beef was good and tender, but the Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings were the main highlight. The portions were huge and the crispiness of the wings were perfect. I'd give this restaurant another try. Like I said earlier, don't let the outside of the restaurant cloud your judgement. Definitely a "hole in a wall" but in a good way! read more

Bright open spot. Lots of seating. Friendly and quick service. Salt and pepper calamari - this was so good. Really garlicky in flavor. The batter was super crispy and stayed crispy the duration of our meal. Green beans - still crunchy and not mushy. That's all I ask for when I order green beans. Lol. Comes with jalapeños like their other salt and pepper dishes. Eggplant, chicken, and fish pot - this was an interesting dish. I thought the chicken and fish would be filets, but it's grounded protein. Still good. Flavor was not too salty. Lots of eggplant. Beef chow fun - no complaints. read more

This review is long overdue, but after my third amazing catering experience with Hawaii City, I had to finally give this gem its flowers. I've used them for three separate catering orders, and every time, the service and quality have been absolutely top-tier. Today, I had a last-minute request to feed a room full of second graders--chicken wings and fried rice--and the owner didn't even blink. He answered the phone with the same warmth and respect he always does and found a way to make it happen. When you walk in, you're greeted like family. He even helped me carry everything to my car, which is such a rare and appreciated touch. And let's talk about the food: it's always fresh, flavorful, and consistent. My son's classmates tore through those wings and rice like it was their last meal. If you're craving Chinese food or need to place a large order or cater an event, I strongly recommend Hawaii City. Support this kind, hardworking local business--you won't regret it. read more

Salt and pepper wings and fish were bomb! I enjoyed the wings way more but both were delicious. The pork fried rice was also really good. They have a lunch special for $13 EVERYDAY; you can't beat that. Plate was full! I think I was speaking with the owner, man who takes the orders and he was very sweet and personal! Definitely a hidden gem of the westbank! read more

Glad to see that there are other options for more Authentic style Chinese food. So far my favorite is the beef chow fun. The salt and pepper chicken wings are okay too. Misses: Salt and pepper squid--I've had it twice and I feel like it's pretty inconsistent. The batter was a little bit different today--the thick batter made the squid a kind of gloopy. I'll probably go back to try a few other items just to see how they are. The owners seem pretty nice and friendly, which is always a plus. read more

I absolutely recommend trying this place out! The wonton noodle soup is so aromatic and flavorful, as well as their crab with thin vermicelli (#39). Their beef stew is so tender and flavorful with a hint of five spice. Their green tea is also very aromatic. I think it may be jasmine green tea because of the floral scent. Their price is from $6-45, mostly around $18 an entree, but definitely worth the taste. read more

Asked for egg rolls she pointed to spring rolls I said no egg rolls she said ok I get home. I have spring rolls. They had no fried wontons they were quick and very polite place was very clean read more

Nice layout with the restaurant having two large seating areas. The owner was really nice & talked to me while I was there about the menu and other questions I had. The chicken was good, however I found that it had a veryyyy subtle flavor and I was hoping that it was going to be a bolder flavor. I also found the chicken to be very crispy and airy which I enjoyed. The shrimp fried rice was good too, just make sure you put the garlic bits from the chicken in it instead of duck sauce. The duck sauce don't really hit in this rice. Everything was fresh!! Both plates came up to a total of $30.. wish it came with more chicken (I believe it was an eight piece). It was a good experience I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon tho. It's a good 8/10 for me. read more

I ordered the salt and pepper fish, and it was seasoned beautifully, and the flavors were spot on. The salt and pepper fish was cooked perfectly, both moist and flakey, lightly coated and very crispy. My husband ordered the Hawaii Beef, and he described it as slightly sweet, reminding him of beef bolgogi. Only rated it a 4 out of 5 stars because it is a bit pricey. Overall, it is worth stopping for a bite. read more
