    Revisited after a year and it was just as good. Service was attentive and fast. Skewers were delivered promptly and all the items were good. We ordered some items to take home. Ambiance was busy but comfortable, will definitely be back.

    Make sure to make a reservation as they can get packed at times. Food preparation is fast but our bbq came a bit dry. But overall super good tho, very tasty especially the chicken skin !!!! will definitely visit again!

    We wanted to try Mongolian skewers, and this was definitely the spot to do it! The seating area is on the smaller side, with about 7-8 tables that can seat roughly 4-6 people each, so it feels cozy and lively. The menu has a huge variety of skewers -- lamb, beef, beef tendon, chicken feet, venison, chicken hearts, and more. My party was excited and basically wanted to try everything. The skewers are pretty small, but that just means you get to sample more -- I'm pretty sure we went through around 60 skewers total and I honestly enjoyed them all. Aside from the skewers, the eggplant dish and the crawfish were especially delicious, so I highly recommend ordering those too. Service was fast and helpful. You can keep ordering as you go, and the food comes out quickly, which makes the whole experience fun and easy. If you're craving skewers, you've got to check this place out -- it's a must-try!

    We didnt reserve,all tables were taken but manage to get seated within 20 minutes. Theres very limited tables so reservations is recommended. Staff is of excellent service. The most authentic tasting skewers Ive tried. The best skewers restaurant in Hawaii. Its a small dining space so it can get loud.

    Always my favorite spot when I'm craving skewers. They have a good variety of skewers to choose from. The corn and century egg tofu is definitely something you need to order. Food is flavorful and comes out fresh. Service is always good and a good late night spot place to hang out with friends

    Khan Skewer Restaurant: A Delightful Surprise Khan Skewer Restaurant has been on my radar as a place to try. Since it was Restaurant Week, we promptly made a dinner reservation (highly suggested). While dining, I did see a walk-in party being turned away (or perhaps told to return later). It's located on Isenberg St near South King in Moiliili, fronting the St. Louis Clubhouse. Parking available in a handful of spaces fronting the restaurant or on the street. We ordered the Restaurant Week menu which was for 2-3 persons. The garlic edamame appetizer came out quickly. The deep fried chicken tenders and skewers were served atop a wooden serving tray. The 2-top table became quite crowded, with dishes arranged in puzzle-like fashion, as the server quipped. Our favorites of the evening were the chicken tenders, eggplant, and butter scallops (which were individually served as there were prepared in 3 different ways). The grand finale was the snow fluffy milk ice, which was available in lilikoi or peach flavor. Noticed a nearby table eyeing it from afar lol. Such a great way to end a meal!

    We tried Khan Skewer recently and overall it was just ok for me. I wouldn't necessarily suggest it to others, but I also wouldn't mind going back if someone invited, just not a place I'd go out of my way for. Others in my party enjoyed their food more than I did. The flavors were pretty similar across most of the dishes, so nothing really stood out. The mushrooms came in a foil container with a soup/sauce that felt a bit odd. I really loved the corn, I ordered two! Dessert at the end was actually good though and a nice finish to the meal. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. Parking is small but there's street parking nearby. When we arrived there were only a few parties seated, but by the time we left the place was packed with people waiting for tables, so definitely make reservations.

    I have been wanting to try here for a while, finally got to come out tonight. Super cute small place but so worth it. We waited for about 20 mins but didn't seem that long. Service was great, food didn't take to long to come out, we ordered more as we went. Everything came out cooked on skewers, the pan was warm to keep the food items warm. I loved the mushroom medley as well. I'll be back again with friends and maybe even try one of their tower alcoholic drinks, those looked good.

    I always love coming here! The atmosphere is lively and fun! Food is always good. Tried the venison for the first time and it was great without and sauce. Tender and flavorful! Eggplant is always a winner with the garlic and butter. Chicken wings is another go to for us. Servers are always friendly no matter how busy they get. It is understandable that they may get overwhelmed at times but they are always happy to serve. Place has gotten so much busier lately so make sure you make a reservation before coming

    After eating our way through Flushing, NY last month and finding our new addiction-skewers, we've been craving them since we came back home. I've only had tried HNL skewer house but my fiance wanted to try this place. Definitely satisfied my craving, we left happy and full (but $150 poorer lol). We arrived at 5:44pm and the waitress/ hostess was like "we have a reservation at 7:30 do you think you can finish in time?" Who takes 2 hours to eat dinner but I told her of course so she sat us. They quickly brought us our dipping sauce and spice and a cute warmer tray heated by some tea candles. We ordered the pork belly, lamb, chicken gizzard,and beef tongue skewers, all were DELICIOUS. The dipping sauce was kind of like a fresh garlic and chili pepper sauce? I'm not really sure, it was sweet, refreshing and spicy all at the same time. And went perfectly with the fatty meat skewers and whatever spice mix they put on the side. We ended up asking for extra of both dips lol. For our sides we got the fried rice- big chunks of pork belly in it, yum. Scallop with vermicelli- a little too zingy for my taste and the scallops were quite small. Eggplant- juicy and garlicky! One of the best things we ordered! And the golden tofu- someone posted a picture here of skewers with the caption but it was NOT SKEWERS! Just pan fried spicy tofu... mid. Your meal also comes with a complimentary dessert- snow. Peach or passion fruit, with Frosted Flakes on top! Tasted like frozen cereal bowl lol so yummy. My only two issues were the price and the service a bit. It was fully packed and there was only one person taking orders but she forgot quite a few of our things and we had to wave her down multiple times for the same things. And prices were a little crazy too- $8-$12 for 3-5 skewers. In New York they were $1-2 each AND higher quality. Overall we'll be back but definitely only for a special occasion due to the price. ALSO!!! Make a reservation if you have a big party! The restaurant is quite small and gets busy fast.

    Spent $$$ just for mediocre food that is seasoned all the same way and terrible service. Immediately upon entry, the place smelled of strong spices. Took a while to get greeted and sat. We ordered so much food (not all captured). We even had a special occasion we were celebrating. Our server asked if we'd like them to sing to the person of honor so we said yes. But she dropped off the shaved ice and left. It was pretty disappointing to be honest..

    Great service at this new to me restaurant. Came to celebrate the Chinese New Year and was treated with special lai see treats. First a lai see for coming and then one for on the spot discounts (from $$ to % discounts). Staff was super friendly and assorted skewers and courses delicious! The oysters were the star of the show! I love garlic and the dishes were well seasoned with it. Great spot!

    They have onsite parking but only one of the gates is open. When parking, it's tight. If you get there at opening time, you can back into a spot rather head in first since only one gate is open. Came in and ordered a few things. Skewers were okay, got a mushroom medley and green onion pancake which was flavorful and crispy.

Also, the Hong Kong MilkTea was excellent with a cute little frozen tea, teddy bear on it. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves celebrating the service was excellent! Our server made great recommendations.

Unfortunately, it was one of the biggest disappointments of my vacation. The Singapore crab completely missed the mark. Instead of the rich, savory, slightly sweet and spicy flavor I was expecting, it tasted like it was covered in plain tomato sauce with very little seasoning. There was no depth or authentic flavor at all. The salted egg yolk wings were just as disappointing. They were incredibly bland and lacked the rich, buttery, savory salted egg flavor that makes this dish so popular. I honestly don't understand why these are recommended as signature dishes. I came in with high expectations based on the reviews, but left wondering why anyone would recommend such bland, overly saucy food. There are far better places to experience authentic Singapore-style flavors. Worst meal of our trip.

The texture was soft and the portion was quite decent. The chow fun was also yummy. It was tasty without being overbearing. The fried rice was our favorite.

    My wife and I had been craving good Chinese food for a while, so after finishing my workday in town…read moreand getting the suggestion from my wife that Chinese sounded good for takeout dinner, I crossed into Chinatown and tried Lee Ho Fook for the first time. The first thing I saw when I walked in was the owner making dumplings by hand. That immediately gave me the feeling I was in the right place. Growing up I watched my own Mom make our version of dumplings, so seeing that kind of care and craftsmanship felt familiar. The owner was warm and very welcoming, and as each dish was completed she brought it out fresh from the kitchen, which gave me a chance to taste the food while it was still steaming. It was hot, but I could not stop myself from sampling it :) Everything I ordered was delicious and clearly made fresh. I'll be honest though, watching the dumplings being prepared right in front of me was a real highlight. I'm sure that some of you out there can relate to this. I also had the chance to meet owner's mother and another gentleman who I believe may have been family, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is small, but it did not feel rushed. We had a good time talking story while the food was being prepared. It was a challenge for me to drive home with all that food in the back of my car.
