    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.

    Pho is my go-to on a rainy day so since it's always raining in this island, I feel like I'm here…read moreall the time!! Luckily, da best pho is open 7 days a week so I'm able to get my pho fix in when I'm in Oahu. I've tried a few other pho restaurants on island and their broth is not as flavorful or authentic as this place. Diana is always working and is so friendly and efficient and fast. This lady runs the restaurant and serves everyone on her own with a smile on her face. Plenty of photos on the menu but I normally get the pho dac biet with fried egg rolls. Those two items hit the spot. I like that they use the skinny noodles in their pho. Good flavor in the broth, comes out fast and piping hot. The medium bowl is my go-to which gives me enough room to share the egg rolls with the bf. I always leave satisfied and full. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend for your Vietnamese food cravings.

Parking is free, but can be busy at times so you'll have to park at Foodland or behind the establishment. Huge menu, lots of items to choose from. Pho = pretty standard. It wasn't blowing my mind or anything. Vermicelli = Noodles were ok. They put a lot of veggies that it's more so like a salad than anything. Spring Rolls = basic, fine. Nothing really stood out to me too much. The food was functional as I was hungry. The restaurant was empty and the service was as minimal as it could be. The food was dropped off and then we paid. No water refills, just kind of left to eat. The server was on the phone the entire time and didn't seem to care about us very much. I came to try the food but I can't justify coming back based on the food and service. I wish it were different as I really don't like writing reviews like this but I always want to be honest so that you guys can get the best experience.

    Duck Lee is one of those hidden gems that reminds you why family-owned restaurants are so special…read more My boyfriend recently reintroduced me to Duck Lee after years of not going, and I'm so glad he did. His family has been coming here since he was a teenager, and hearing the stories made the experience even more meaningful. His grandma used to make it a weekly tradition to eat here, and she would always tip the staff $20 because she appreciated how hard they worked. That says a lot about both the people and the place. Walking in feels like stepping back in time--in the best way. No fancy decor, just hardworking people serving fresh, flavorful Chinese food with generous portions at prices that are hard to find these days. We ordered two combo plates so we could try a little bit of everything, and every bite was delicious. The roast duck absolutely stole the show--it was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with rich flavor. The beef and broccoli was another favorite. The beef was so tender and juicy, soaking up every bit of the savory sauce, making each bite more addictive than the last. The fried rice and chow mein were seasoned perfectly, and the sweet and sour pork had the perfect balance of crispy, tangy, and sweet. We also grabbed one of their steamed buns, which was soft, fluffy, and the perfect addition to the meal. The portions are HUGE. We both had plenty left over for another meal, making it an even better value. In a world where so many places keep raising prices while shrinking portions, Duck Lee is the opposite. You get amazing food, generous servings, and genuinely kind service. It's easy to see why families have been coming here for decades. If you're on Oʻahu and looking for authentic Chinese comfort food without breaking the bank, put Duck Lee on your list. It's the kind of local spot you tell your friends about because you want to see family-owned businesses like this continue to thrive. 10/10. We'll definitely be back.

    Still one of our favorite restaurants! Located in market city next to Cafe Kaila and Earls…read moreSanwiches. They've gotten busier too so if you want to guarantee a spot call ahead to make reservations! Some of our favorite dishes.. beef chow fun, eggplant long beans, shrimp crackers appetizer, pork cheeks appetizer, sizzling beef black bean platter, all of the curries and rice, shrimp dishes.... So many favorites! We have so many favorites it's hard to try new things here. We recently tried the honey walnut shrimp and it was good big shrimps fried perfectly with honey sauce and it's on top of potato chips so you get a little bonus of honey chips too! That was definitely a nice surprise and something different from any other restaurant. Service here is always great! We ordered and not even 5 minutes later our food was already coming out. They always come by to fill your water and check on you, They have their own men and women's bathroom located in the back which is clean. Their ac is nice and strong so nice on a hot day to enjoy good food and escape from the heat.

Although they prefer reservations, they do take walk ins, if seats available. Food was different than what I'm use to, but delicious. As soon as we ordered food came 10 minutes later. Although it took awhile for waitress to initially take our order. There are many crab dishes, but decided to try Singapore noodles, egg salted fried chicken wings and pork cheeks with a sauce that was the game changer. Eat here if u have time, as the service is slow at the beginning, but I would come back to try the other dishes Ambiance wasn't quiet, but not extremely loud either.

    They're located in Kuhio's food hall. This place was popping at 8PM on a Saturday night…read more I ordered the Chee Hoo combo which came with beef brisket, baby back ribs, smoked sausage, and short ribs. It was ~$30 and easily shareable with 2-3 people. Everything tasted great and I loved the smokey flavor and bbq sauce. Beef brisket and short rib were kinda tough and chewy. It came with three sides so I got cole slaw, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. Cole slaw and Mac and cheese were solid; Potato salad was just alright. They also gave one warm bun too. The reason I gave 3 stars was because service was extremely slow. It seemed like they were short staff and had one person at the cash register AND getting the food. He would take a few orders, and then grab the food. When I arrived, he was grabbing food for multiple folks so then I stood there waiting like 15 just to place my order. Then when he restarted and took my order, he took like 5 more orders before grabbing the food so then I waited even longer for another 15 min. That's 30 min of waiting! Also he wasn't serving food in the order that orders were received so it felt actually felt even longer. There needs to be a better system! Surprisingly he did a employee discount on my order. Not sure if it's because it was close to closing time. Btw they charge extra if you order to-go because of the supplies for packaging. I think food is alright but wouldn't return and wait that long for bbq.

    There is special four meats and three sides. I decided to get double garlic fried rice.

    GET THE CORN BREAD!…read more Okay, now that the most important information is there...we loved this spot! The brisket plate was perfect for two meals. It falls apart as you're eating it in all the best ways. I regret not ordering it by the pound. The potato salad was a bit too mustardy for me but the cream corn was 10/10 I should've asked for it in a cup. My favorite part was the corn bread. I'm used to corn bread being dry and not my choice of a bbq side but I took a chance thanks to the employee hyping up all my food choices and tried it. The texture was more of a bread budding and was unbelievably delicious. I regret only getting one piece and not another one for the following day. I guess what I'm trying to say is, swing on by, order a little bit of everything and you'll leave a few pounds heavier and very happy.

It helps when the owner does the slicing and offers the choice between lean, fatty or some of both when selection brisket and burnt ends. All served with patience and a smile. Hard to believe owner moved from Texas as he and his staff serve aloha every day consistently. So tempting to over order as the smoke permeates the air and I do. Their meats have converted my wife into a carnivore and it's not hard to see why she crossed over into the smoky side. I still have bits of the brisket in between my teeth as I write this review while waiting for my dental visit.
