    I was in the area and decided to take out. I grabbed a takeout menu and it was sticky and covered with rice cake. I asked for a new menu. I ordered beef chow funn - dry no extra msg to go at noon. After waiting until after 12:20 pm I asked where my order was. The possibly owner looked at me in shock. The waitress said she will check it should be soon. Another employee came out with a metal steel cart with a platter of duck in the little bun. Three takeout containers with corn soup. A bowl of corn soup. Also my takeout container. The platter was for the group that came after me and ordered after me. So it appears they wait to complete all order before filling the cart and bringing it out. Not bringing out as orders are filled. So I am not impressed with service. There was lots of bean sprouts the funn was thin and the beef smelled like baking soda which makes it tender but I think too much since over powering. Too bad.

    Good service and noodles were cooked perfect with choi sum and lots of sliced abalone. With the abalone gravy taste. Lots of parking clean restaurant.

    Kapolei Chinese Restaurant has a couple of nice seafood specials running. Fresh Dungeness Crab or Cold Water Lobster prepared in your choice of styles (Black Bean, Salt and Pepper, or Ginger Green Onions). All are delicious but my personal favorite is the Ginger Green Onions preparation. Service is quick and efficient. Good size dining room that can accommodate large gatherings or family get togethers.

    Chicken chowmein

    Definitely not impressed. The bbq pork was dry and it wasn't flavorful. It tasted old. The wonton soup was salty and some of them were raw in the middle. The chow mein was not edible, the noodles were uncooked and it was extra slimy. Service was fast. Large location, ambiance was ok.

    Sweet and Sour spareribs

    My wife took me and her bestie to lunch. We went in at 10:45, the posted opening time was 10:00. They were still mopping the floor and had to wipe down the table that they sat us down at. The waitress was friendly and helpful. We ordered two lunch plates, an order of Harm Ha Pork with ong choy, and an order of sweet sour spareribs. The plate lunches were ok, but neither my wife nor her bestie thought that it would be worth buying again. The portions were large but lacked in taste. The spareribs were bony and the. meat was tough. Taste wise, it was ok. The pork ong choy was just that. It lacked the harm ha taste. It is just not the same as when they first opened. Enjoy

    Huge portions! Recommend getting the salted duck egg! We come here when we want a big meal with leftovers for us. We ordered the Chinese shrimp fried rice and had a soup with it. Very quiet and clean restaurant.

    Sometimes the food is good and fresh. Other times, the food, like the roast duck is old or cooked twice making it dry.

    This is my go-to spot for an after-work snack whenever I can squeeze it into my busy schedule…read more Almost all of the staff are incredibly friendly and treat you like family. Yesterday, I called ahead to order frozen manapua to take with me on a flight. Before heading over, I tried calling twice to confirm that the order needed to be frozen for travel, but the calls went unanswered. I understand they are a popular spot and get extremely busy, but unfortunately, this led to a miscommunication and my order wasn't ready when I arrived. After initially receiving the wrong items, I went out to my car and tried calling again to sort it out. A staff member answered, and when I tried to explain the situation, she gave me a bit of attitude, saying, "Well, we don't pick up when we're busy." Ironically, that lack of communication is what caused the mix-up in the first place. She then cut me off mid-sentence to get a manager. This could have been a major stressor right before a trip, but the way the rest of the team handled it was fantastic. They were highly respectful, apologized profusely, and worked quickly to help me out. Despite that one frustrating phone interaction, the overall customer service in fixing the issue actually made me appreciate this location even more.

    This place is big & cafeteria style! When you enter, there's a counter on left to order and pickup…read moremanapua & stuff. On the right side you stand behind a line far from the food till it's your turn to choose what you want. That's a lil rough not being able to see all your choices til your turn, when there's always a line of people waiting. But there's so many different kinds of noodles & rice. Then you got your meats and veggies. They give really big portions so for that its worth it once in awhile. 1 plate can last me 2 meals! Sadly I dont love their food, everything taste very oily but its decent., especially for how much you get. Many pickup manapua, pork hash, rice cake, etc for gifting or gatherings. There's a large seating area up the few stairs after the cashier & they can host events there. Staff is quick and efficient. Its always clean when I go and there's always a line at this popular eatery.
