    Loved it! Thank you for accommodating me... nice food and nice ppl:)

    My first time at Hawaii and glad to see this lovely dining place. Friendly authentic and real food

    Great food! My favorite was the pork jowl and enoki mushrooms. Beautiful outdoor seating and service was great. They were so sweet they threw in some free homemade sausages as well. Will be coming back 100%

    I had the lamb, beef and chicken and all of them were so amazing. I ate 15 skewers and wanted more.

    It's an outdoor seating area for a food truck, and the skewer was delicious, and the service was good.

    Great food and helpful staff. The Taiwanese fried chicken and minced pork over rice is a must get.

    Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I asked my sister what she wanted to eat for her birthday: Dimsum! I suggested that we go to this new location of Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant. She agreed! The covered parking lot is free! Just follow the signs and park in the designated numbered stalls. Inside, it was crowded and noisy! I wrote our name on the list and got called quickly! My sister wrote our order on the menu: shrimp dumplings, seaweed roll, deep fried taro puffs, shrimp and chive dumplings, mochi rice, pork-filled deep fried mochi, and custard tarts. Later, we added on an order of house noodles... they were thin, crisp, and tasty! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented! Service was efficient! There were different people delivering baskets and plates to our table. They just crossed off menu items on the printed list as they arrived. My sister and her husband were really happy with this meal! I was, too! Note: i even took home the leftover noodles! Yay!

    We had been to Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant several times at its old location across from Ala Moana…read moreMall, and it used to be a five-star place for us. The new location is only about a block away, with a much nicer, newer interior. Unfortunately, the food seems to have changed much more than the address We ordered four dishes: mochi rice, pork buns, siu mai, and chicken feet. Almost everything arrived cooler than it should have. The chicken feet and siu mai were warm rather than hot, while the pork buns were closer to cold. More importantly, it wasn't just a temperature problem. The chicken feet in particular tasted noticeably worse than before, lacking the flavors and spices we remembered. The mochi rice was the most normal of the four, but even that felt fairly unremarkable There was a table next to us that came in excited to have dimsum. And watching their reaction, they came to the same conclusion as us -- food was cold, and flavors were off. We went on a weekday, so it's possible the kitchen was different that day, but the drop in quality was hard to ignore. The restaurant wasn't busy, service was good, and prices seemed unchanged from our previous visits. The new space is a clear improvement, but based on this meal, the food unfortunately went in the opposite direction. We likely won't be coming back

    Time for an update as I realized my last review of Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant dates back to…read more2014. I used to come here all the time with my coworkers for lunch, as Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant was just a hop, skip, & jump away from my office. Through the years, the business & location hasn't changed, but if I'm correct, I owners of the business have changed hands several times. I remembered the last time I came here was during Covid-19 where Golden Eagle Chinese was just doing "take-out" and no dining inside was available. Since the pandemic has passed us, everything is back to normal with the exception of different owners. This past Sunday I decided to drop by the Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant to buy some steamed fish filet for my dad. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I must say not much has changed as far as the decor of the restaurant. What I did get from Golden Eagle was fast and friendly service, and a wonderfully made dish of steamed fish filet with ginger & onion (dad approved)! If you're Jonesing for Chinese food, give Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant a try!

    This is an old school Chinese restaurant that locals know about. Janey told me to meet her here…read moreand I had never been and she was surprised. It's quaint inside, but again, old school, so you'll see some boxes stacked in the corner. Janey got there first and said the man working was kinda unfriendly. But I think it was more about not knowing who we were, and like I said, lots of locals that frequent. The woman working was really nice! I just let Janey order. We started with some delicious hot n sour soup. The fried rice was really good! Loved the crispy skin duck! The gau gee mein had a great assortment of vegetables! And the sauteed choy sum(?) was good! Overall, really good local Chinese food! Though the interior is nice, it was a little warm even with the AC. The setting sun was just hitting the windows and even with the filter, it was warm. Other than that, great place to come to! Mahalo Golden Eagle!

After seeing all the reviews for the cold noodle, I decided to try it with rice noodles, a side order of their delicious beef which reminds me of Mian and Bao's beef, a marinated egg, and their spicy fungus. Would definitely order again. Their egg was perfectly cooked, nice and jammy in the middle. It was a lot of food that reheated well the next day. I found it to be spicy in the sense of warming, and flavorful but not searing off your mouth. Definitely get this with their mung bean soup. It is cold, sweet, and refreshing. Parking: there is a rotating lift with an attendant. I would suggest bringing cash, as other means are not always available. Parking was $2 for the time we were there.

    Good Chinese food! But we feel it was better before…read more Food - 3/5 We got the slow-braised beef noodles, pancake beef rolls, and pork dumplings. The pancakes were nice and crispy. The noodles were nice and bouncy and the meat was tender and flavorful. The dumplings were good but they weren't as flavorful as we remember them to be. Service - 5/5 Friendly service! Easy ordering via website. Ambiance - 5/5 Cute modern Chinese restaurant! We parked at Walmart and walked over.

Though they have been around quite a while I had forgotten they were here. Today our group ordered a nice variety of items: jajamyeon, jjampong (yes it was spicy!), orange chicken (Cantonese style), chicken chow mein, and few others. My favorites being the jajamyeon (tho i might order it with seafood next time) and the orange chicken. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu as well tho... recommend bringing a Chinese or Korean translator! ;-) Thank you Judi for reminding me of this hidden treasure. I learn so much from this phenomenal group of women! Sorry no photos. Too busy enjoying the good food and even better company. Parking lot accessed from Kona Street just BEFORE Piikoi. Restaurant accessed from parking lot. If you park in the lot, be sure to scan the QR code INSIDE the restaurant for 90 minutes free parking!

    This Chinese restaurant has been around for a while serving up seafood and other delicious dishes…read more They're known for their lobster deals, and along with your traditional Chinese classics. We like the lobster, honey walnut shrimp, salted fish egg white fried rice, fried tofu, spinach with thousand year old eggs and many more. Definitely a nostalgic spot for myself, and it's usually busy. Our lobster was small last time and the sauce was watery. But overall would recommend. Check it out for your Chinese food fix!

    It was an average experience overall. The restaurant is tucked inside the Chinatown Cultural Plaza…read moreand faces the waterway rather than the street, which gives it a somewhat different setting. Compared with the dim sum restaurants we're accustomed to in California, the selection here felt a little limited. We tried some of our usual favorites--Siu Mai, Har Gow, and custard buns--but unfortunately, they were just average in flavor and were served cold. The service was friendly, and they do offer dim sum from a few carts, which was nice to see. You can also ask the staff for specific dishes if you don't see what you're looking for. It also appeared that there was only one type of tea available. Nothing was particularly bad about the experience, but nothing really stood out either. Given the other dim sum options we're familiar with, this probably isn't a place we'd make a special trip to visit again.
