Jade Chinese Restaurant - Waipio's Long‑Standing Gem Jade Chinese Restaurant in Waipio has been a trusted favorite in the community for years, and it's easy to see why. This is the kind of place that welcomes everyone--families, longtime locals, and hungry walk‑ins alike--with consistently good food and fast, friendly service. One of my go‑to dishes is the Honey Walnut Shrimp--perfectly crisp, lightly sweet, and always satisfying. The Soft Gau Gee Noodles with gravy are another must‑try: comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a classic local-style Chinese meal. While enjoying my food, I noticed a steady flow of take‑out orders--both walk‑ins and phone orders--which says a lot about how much the community relies on Jade. They handle the rush with ease, keeping things moving without sacrificing quality. If you're looking for a place to pick up your Chinese New Year meal, Jade is an excellent choice. They've been part of the celebration for years, and their dishes bring that festive, traditional flavor we all look forward to. Kung Hee Fat Choi! Wishing everyone prosperity, health, and good fortune in the Year of the Fire Horse Marie read more

Just some advice for Yelp users. When reviewing businesses on Yelp, if they have low ratings, believe it. When reading the reviews, don't read the good reviews with so little posts. Read the bad reviews and there the truth will be revealed. My bad for even going into this business. First of all, it was lunch time and only two tables were being used. I ordered one dish, and the last with absolutely no personality or appreciation for me being in there, asks just one dish? I said yes. When she returns, she says order ready. She puts it on a table and walks away. No "Thank you". No thanks for patronizing our restaurant. Not even a smile. I take it as a blessing that she acted that way, because the table of people saw how unappreciative this lady was. I'm guessing that was the owner. NEVER EVER patronizing this restaurant again. read more

One of our favorite Chinese restaurants. They're always with a few specials but we always order our favorite dishes. Great for a big group and the food always comes out pretty quickly and tastes delicious. Kay yuk with taro, steamed fish, honey walnut shrimp, and roast duck are a few favorites. Veggies are always fresh. read more

Found this place coming from VMAC. It's a large restaurant with lots of seating and parking. Clean and spacious. Service was fast. Not sure if it was because there was only four couples beside us. Ordered the two choice combo with roast duck and cold ginger chicken. Chicken was nice and cold and meaty. Nice flavor to the sauce. The duck was not to meaty and little dry but, good portions. The skin was like the the kind you get in the duck with steam bun dishes. My lunch partner ordered gau gee min. Nice flavor and large gau gee. Was full on just one and some noodles. Pros: Good size portions. Lots of parking and clean. Cons: The only one that I had was the duck. Everything else was good. Would I go back? Yes, would like to give them a second chance on the duck. read more

I've been to JADE GARDEN in Waipio near Foodland twice so far. The first time I came here was with some friends for a gathering. We dined in and I thought our dining experience was good...just your typical Chinese restaurant. I remember ordering Minute Chicken over Hong Kong fried noodles that was delicious! However, when I got my bill, I didn't realize that I was charged extra for the Hong Kong style noodles. That blew my mind! That sure was a learning experience for me. Yesterday, my husband was hungry for Chinese food and he wanted to order takeout out to eat at home. I was in the neighborhood so I decided to come here. My husband ordered the dinner plate and he really enjoyed it. I ordered the beef with sweet sour cabbage and I thought it was delicious! So if you are in the neighborhood, go and check out JADE GARDEN! You'll thank me for that! read more

Food was decent my big problem is the waitress is so rude and just an unhappy person. One big thing I notice with this lady is she is nice only to Asians but Chinese Asians only. She was very mean to the Filipino guys who came in to order take out, yet she's smiling to the 2 tables of Chinese guest. This really ruined our experience. There's lot of other Chinese restaurants that appreciate their customers. For the prices we pay now days just go somewhere else. 2 stars for the chef that came out smiled and said hi to us. Sweet man read more

Always nice to eat at Jade Garden. We usually order more so we can have the leftovers for the next day. Our favorite is the salt and pepper shrimp, pork and bitter melon, stuffed eggplant and stuffed bitter melon. In fact, so far everything we order there is good. The Jin dui for dessert is delicious when it just comes out of the kitchen nice and hot. Service is excellent too. We make it a point to drive from Waianae to Waipio read more

I've been eating Jade Garden's food for years and it never disappoints. With options for take out and dine in, it is also a great place for larger parties with lots of parking. The owners know my Uncle who has been ordering here for years and they are very friendly and provide super fast service. While the interior is a little outdated, you definitely go for the food. This past visit was for a party and had about 11 courses of all of my favorites including duck and honey walnut shrimp. As I mentioned the portions are large so we had lots of leftover that lasted for days. read more

Jade Garden Restaurant - Won tons, chicken, duck, honey walnut shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

We often order takeout little early for dinner because after 5:30pm the restaurant is busy. Sometimes it takes a while for someone to pick up the phone so we call in around 4 or 4:30pm. When it's not their busy time, food is ready in about 20min. Food is always good and portion is good too. Our favorite is minute chicken, Ong Choi with garlic sauce and shrimp & char siu fried rice. It's good to order takeout but also good for dinning in. I've seen big groups and birthday parties there. read more

Our power went out for 7 hours due to the storm that invaded our islands! Called Jade Garden & thank God they were open! Ordered Minute chicken on cake noodle, honey walnut shrimp, Shrimp fried rice, Cold ginger chicken, Sweet sour cabbage, Black bean chow funn with tofu & Choi sum with oyster sauce. Service was quick. Food was delicious and they somehow managed to get their credit card machine to work without power in the Waipio area! Thank you for remaining open for take out! Your entire restaurant was blacked out, but your kitchen was fully functioning! We're so grateful! read more

The service was very good. There was only one other occupied table in the restaurant. It was a late lunch, like 2 o'clock. When I was leaving, more people came. There's still a steady flow of customers at this hour. I was feeling hungry for some wonton. Their wonton mein hits the spot. I'd be happy to have a Chinese food spot like this in my neighborhood. read more

Although the workers were nice the food was more on the bland side. My big issue is they charge a 15% automatic tip. But they didn't let me know a head of time. If I didn't catch that on the receipt they would've received the 15% they added plus a cash tip I was about to leave. It's not right to rip off your customers. Let them us know you'll be adding an automatic tip. There's no signs posted around the restaurants about this. read more

Took sooooooooooooooooo long for the food to come. Waited over an hour. So disorganized.

Been coming to this place for the last 2 decades ... same owner but quality has gone dowwwwwwn ... time to go back to Waimalu Chop Suey

Food was good, service was a little demanding and I did not like that a 15% tip was included..which also came out more than anything we ordered on the menu for 4 people...no signs around about this...but it was very empty too...food again good...but you should do away with adding the tip, thats what will drive ppl away!!! Adios read more

BTW I'm still eating here after many years. My other go to dishes are the Singapore rice noodles, char siu chow fun and Chinese taro with kau yuk casserole. read more

Disappointing to say the least. Took away dinner plate and changed to "dinner for two." Used to have dinner plate, but after 3 pm the lunch plate disappears. Diner for two is $63 with tax. Not worth it at all. Took a few bites and tossed it away. No taste, no value, crispy chicken was so dry and overcooked had to pry it off the bones. Staff not friendly or welcoming. Too bad, not too many good Chinese Restaurants in the Waipio/Mililani area. read more

What's not to like every dish we had was delicious we recommend this to all. You're never disappointed.

The food was terrible. Threw out over half of our meals. It was like eating food that could be a week old. Never going back. Buyer beware

Well, I finally found a Chinese restaurant relatively close to my new home. Waipio and Mililani Mauka aren't what you might consider as "near", but it's near enough to consider it being "close to my new home". I studied the menu and saw that they offer a pretty extensive and reasonable lunch combo. Too bad it ends at 3 pm. I'm here to pick up dinner. Decided to get my favorite go-to dishes: Shrimp Fried Rice and Sum See cake noodles. Shrimp fried rice is pretty well seasoned with a generous amount of shrimp. The sum see cake noodles were packed in 2 separate containers. One for the crispy fried noodles and another for the topping. It's separated so the cake noodles can stay crispy... Impressive! Or so I initially thought. I got home and emptied the topping over the crispy fried cake noodles, let it soak the sauce for a little bit, then dug in. My first reaction was; WHAT THE HELL....? The cake noodles were.....CHEWY....!? It seems the noodles were pre-fried and set aside and stored, until somebody ordered it. What's the point of keeping the noodles separated from the topping if it's stale? This totally defies comprehension. The other places fry the noodles and cut them into squares after the order comes in. My order came out relatively quickly and the staff was courteous. Judging from the amount of orders coming out of the kitchen, it seems to be the neighborhood favorite takeout spot. I hate to rant on everybody's favorite, but the cake noodles are not happening.... It's a bit generous, I'll give it 3 stars. read more

Jade Garden Restaurant - Garlic shrimp fried rice and Sam See cake noodles - Chinese Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Before making a phone order for my girlfriend and I we were trying to kinda calculate how much it would be for honey walnut shrimp, egg fu yung, and their shrimp fried rice from their menu on their website (jadegardenwaipahu.com). After doing to the math total with tax should of been close to $34 ish. When we got there we payed $50+ for a small portions of honey walnut shrimp, a small portion of egg fu yung, and a decently portion of their garlic shrimp fried rice. Food was decently tasty but definitely not for the price we payed. When my girlfriend went in to pay and everything the person in the front took the card and didn't finish the transaction, instead he took a call and had her wait a bit. We were told 10-15 min on the phone and left the house after 10min of putting the order in (the place is about an 8min walk from the house). She then had to wait once she got there. read more

Went here for a family gathering. Was not impressed...chicken was bland, tea tasted like chemicals. The fish with ginger and onion was good, as was the honey walnut fish. Service was fine. The restaurant itself is showing its age, dingy and grimy in places. Bathroom grimy but toilet was clean, although it's a tight squeeze in there. I wouldn't choose to go back, but if I do, at least there are a few things I know I can eat. read more

They forgot to give us a our shrimp canton, called the restaurant and they refused to give us a refund! "Lee" said to ask for her when we are ready to re-order, and so we did a few weeks later. However! she gave us major attitude. 2 stars because the food is actually pretty good. read more

The food was actually really good! The honey walnut shrimp was nicely flavored! Everything about it was perfect. Salt and pepper pork chops was on the dry side. Plenty of flavor but i definitely had better. Nice heat to it though. Beef chow fun was actually really good the noodles were nice a soft. Plenty of black bean sauce, beef and bell peppers! Roast duck had a good flavor, again I did have better but I would totally re-order all this food again. I appreciate that they had the duck on some vegetables! Very nice touch The only reason for the 2 star knock off was definitely their customer service. They are very mean! Over the phone I felt rushed when I ordered. Upon arrival the guy at the front just stared at me and I was like " hi I'm picking up a food order" and he continued to stare at me like I was an idiot. He goes "ok......" with a stare... and I answered " oh I'm sorry they didn't ask for my name on the phone, I ordered the roast duck, honey walnut shrimp, salt and pepper pork chops..." he cuts me off and walks away. Very awkward. Comes back and reads everything I ordered and I said yes that's the one. And then he just stared again at me like I could read his mind. Didn't tell me my total he just assumed that I'd give him money. I was very confused and I felt very uncomfortable. They really need to work on that customer service and I would ALWAYS COME HERE, with my family! When we came it was a bit busy. Great place for a big family dinner, or a small family dinner. read more

Jade Garden Restaurant located in the Waipio Gentry Shopping Center. Lots of free parking. Family run business. Service is very important to them, very attentive and accommodating. They specialize in Rice Porridges (Jook) many different options. The most interesting is their Bird Nest Rice Porridge. Tonight we had their version of Oxtail Soup (very tasty lots of Oxtail). Capital Ribs, Stuffed Duck, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and House Noodles made with Hong Kong style noodles. They do a great job with the Stuffed Duck, Boneless Duck with a stuffing made from Barley, Water Chestnuts, Mushroom, Bamboo Shoots, and topped with a Oyster Sauce Gravy. All were delicious. read more

We wanted to try their minute chicken cake noodle, crispy gau gee, and luncheon plate. The minute chicken cake noodle was tasty and not salty, nice flavor for us. Crispy gau gee was very crispy but could have been fried a bit less. My husbands luncheon plate was okay but the roast duck was a little dry. Service was speedy and servers were friendly and attentive. Ambiance was okay, very spacious for a home style feeling. Would like to try their Hong Kong style crispy cake noodle next. read more

The food selected was delicious- our family picked the 9-courses. Party of 13 (2-kids included). I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our party. The table was ready for us. Good thing I called because there was already a large party going on half of the restaurant & as soon as we sat the rest of the place got filled on that Sunday lunchtime. read more

We can always count on great food here. Large delicious portions. Tutu had gau gee, ginger chicken, sweet spare ribs, I had minute chicken with crispy noodles. Everything so good!

My first time going there late this afternoon and it was okay! A flash back to the 60's and 70's style table, chairs and decor. Nothing fancy but if you just looking for a neighborhood Chinese restaurant, this is it. Upon returning from the neighbor isles today and driving back from the airport, decided to go there for a quick late lunch. And yep as I hoped, the food came quick! Being out was almost 300 pm, there was no lunch crowds, *bam*, food came quick! Hong Kong style noodles were tasty and crispy. Cold ginger chicken was good too! The salty ginger sauce goes really great on rice ...not the healthiest, but hey, once in a while is alright! We all live once! Definitely will keep this place on my list since in the Mililani area, it's down to only 1 Chinese restaurant now. read more

Good option for Chinese food in the Waipio area. We came here for lunch 3 times in a couple weeks because the food was good. The lunch combos are a great deal for the amount of food you get. The minute chicken with cake noodles are great! Not soggy and the chicken is super tender. Unfortunately the service is very curt. The older lady is crazy rude on the phone for take out orders and isn't much better on person. Three stars for the food, 1 star for the service. Will not be returning for awhile. read more

This was a unique experience. Where to start? The dining room was completely filthy. The chairs, we're visibly dirty. This wasn't just "whatever, it's a little dingy," it was actually dirty, very dirty. To add to the "ambiance," there was a guy loudly vacuuming in the dining room while we were eating. It was so off putting that it was almost funny. Almost. We placed an order for 5 different items on the dim sum menu and about 5 minutes later, our waiter came back and told us that only one of the items was available. We went through a guessing game with him to try and figure out what was actually available... This one? No. This one? No. How about this one? Okay. Etc. When the food arrived, it looked so unappetizing that it's hard to describe, but I hope the pictures help (I tried to get a picture of one of the flies landing on my plate, but it was too fast). I've heard jokes about "grey" meat before, but have never actually seen it before until this meal. We took a few bites and it was not good. Not good at all. Some comments that came up over the course of the meal: "The texture of the meat is so oddly inconsistent" "Is it possible that fast food has higher grade meat than this?" "Hopefully our suffering will serve as a warning for others" There are so many great places to eat in Honolulu and this is most certainly not one of them. Please don't fall for the mind-bogglingly positive reviews, this place is really not good at all. read more
