Upon entering the restaurant, was surprised with a very friendly greeting. While waiting for my order, I was asked if I've been helped. A few minutes later, a different lady asked if I wanted something to drink. Shucks, I've never experienced such great customer service from any restaurant, 3 times!!! Went home to grind what looked to be really delicious Chinese dishes. And YES, did not disappoint. Every single dish was so wonderfully tasty ! Ordered House Lo Mein, Shrimp with Walnuts, Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings, and Sweet Sour Cabbage with Beef. So, so ONO!!! Will be claiming this restaurant our favorite Chinese restaurant!!! Thank you Ladies, at the Kunia Chinese Restaurant! read more

Wanted to try them again and was hoping the food had improved. It hasn't. Food was okay: best thing was the crab Rangoon. Orange chicken was a little dry and the chowmein house specialty was meh. Could've gone on a day where they were extra slammed as they have decent reviews. read more

Been meaning to review my favorite Chinese restaurant on the Westside for awhile! Why is it our favorite? Not only does Kunia Chinese serve local Hawaii and Americanized Chinese favorites like gaugee and local chow fun, but my Chinese American husband says this spot serves authentic Chinese food! A couple of our Chinese American friends also love this place and have taken their Chinese parents visiting from the mainland! It's hard to come here often with just hubby and me most of the time. As everyone probably knows, Chinese food is meant to be shared among families. The few times we've dined in, we've ordered fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, ong choy with garlic, and their famous fried flounder. As a San Diegan, I had to try the salt and pepper chicken wings, which are pretty good. We'd love to try their soup and cake noodle varieties one day, but we just enjoy ordering rice! Fortunately we don't have to drive far to the only place I know on the island that pays equal attention to local and authentic Chinese food! read more

Had dinner at my favorite Chinese restaurant on the west side. The Fried Flounder, Salt Pepper Pork Chops, & Walnut Shrimp was excellent as always. So much food to take home. Just that 3-dishes can feed a family of 4. Aloha, Derek read more

Our food was cold which was a little disappointing. The orange chicken was bland. The lunch plate was the biggest disappointment. The sweet and sour spareribs tasted like ketchup, and the noodles tasted like corn starch slurry. The roast duck was pretty good and the cold ginger chicken is usually hard to get wrong so that was good. My kids enjoyed the general Tso's chicken as well. Service was quick but the parking lot is pretty small. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant on the west side. Excellent food and service. The restaurant is bright and clean. The honey walnut shrimp are HUGE. My wife and I eat it all the time from various places but the first thing I noticed about them was the size. Most places, I can eat them in one bite. At Kunia Chinese Restaurant, it's at least 2...sometimes 3 bites to finish a piece. The roast duck is also outstanding. Crispy skin, very flavorful. You won't regret eating here! read more

Favorite Chinese restaurant!!! Crab wontons, are my absolute favorite! Roast duck never ever disappoints!!!! Honey walnut shrimp?! Yes please!!! Everything I have ever tried from this place was all so delicious with no complaints so far. Located at kunia shopping center plenty parking in the area read more

Kunia Chinese restaurant is our family favorite. Especially when it comes to potlucks. Last week, I was voluntold that thanksgiving is at my place. Thank goodness I asked as I needed to find a place fast that has thanksgiving package because I don't cook this type of meals. I looked up a few places and then I remembered the few thanksgivings we've been her to pickup dish's for potluck that Kunia has such packages. I mean a whole rack full of cooked turkeys waiting for people to pickup. And so the next day, my sister and I headed to the restaurant for lunch and to put in our order. We ordered package A at $179 includes the turkey, noodles and crispy gau gee. Sounds expensive but best to be safe than have a ruined bird in this specially family holiday. The food is god here. Our family favorite is the steamed ginger fish and the salt and pepper fish filet. During peak dining hours this place does get busy both for dine-in and take out. The staff, super friendly. And for us, the price is right. Plenty of parking. Although there are several Chinese restaurants nearby, we don't mind taking a short drive to Kunia Chinese Restaurant. 5-stars for me and my family. read more

First time here and we were satisfied. The Fish, Duck, and Egg Fu Yung were very tasty. A little disappointed.ted with the spicy Eggplant though. They brought us the wrong dish and when we got "the right one", looked like the tried to use the original dish and just touch it up for the right dish. It just didn't taste right. Over all we were satisfied. The staff was friendly and attentive and there's plenty of parking in the complex. Give them a try when you're in Kunia. Alooooooooha and happy eating. read more

Very very clean restaurant! Friendly staff & big portions! Came here for an early Father's Day lunch. Everything my family & I ordered was really good. The employees were also very friendly & made sure we were ok. Food came out hot, fresh and pretty quick. My favorite was the egg blossom soup, salt and pepper squid & beef fried rice. Will definitely come back to try more things on their menu. read more

My sister and brother-in-law really like this restaurant and brings home tasty food from here every so often. I went on my own to order takeout after an appointment and got the half Peking duck with buns and steamed fish fillet with ginger onion. Both dishes were so fresh, light, and tasty! They also were not too oily or salty, and I didn't feel bloated or sluggish after which can sometimes happen depending on the preparation of the dishes. I also think the ginger from the fish helped relieve an upset stomach I've been having for a few days, and the ginger wasn't too strong tasting or overpowering. Such good dishes and I enjoyed them very much :) It was easy to order over the phone and they have a good online menu to reference, and the wait wasn't too long even during lunch time. The staff was nice and we had a casual conversation, and the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. Free parking at the shopping center where it's located and it's a great place to stop by in between errands or if you're looking for Chinese food in Kunia. Come by and try them out! read more

Kunia Chinese Restaurant - Half Peking duck with buns and steamed fish with ginger onion :) - Chinese Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I've been meaning to try these guys for forever & so glad I finally did! I'm less than a 10 minute drive, always receive their menu flyer in the mail. Placed an order online, quick & easy! Received a text confirming my order with a way to track the progress. Food was ready ahead of the estimated time so winning! Packaged perfectly as to prevent anything with sauce from leaking. Utensils, napkins & sauces provided also. Food was tasty!! Crispy gau gee is fat & full! No skimping of ingredients! Chicken with black bean? Mean! Shoyu for the ginger fish packed separately so it doesn't get soaked. Super friendly service, clean location, good location & plenty of parking. We'll be back for more!! read more

My dad's friends were visitingda 808, so one night I decided to take them to a Chinese restaurant in Royal Kunia, because my dad's friends like hole-in-da-wall joints. Located in a small strip mall just across the street from the Kunia Times/Don Quijote store, you'll find this restaurant in the same complex where Bank of Hawaii is situated. Kunia Chinese Restaurant is really not a big restaurant, but the restaurant is clean, brightly lit, and much nicer looking than the conventional hole-in-da-wall Chinese restaurants. Upon getting seated, I decided to order a fixed pre-set meal that consisted of the following - 1. Abalone Pork Vegetable Soup 2. Roast Duck 3. Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry 4. Orange Chicken 5. Mongolian Beef 6. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles 7. Steamed Rice I also decided to order a Steamed Fish dish, as my dad loves fish. What can I say about da Chinese grub? Kunia Chinese Restaurant was much better than I had anticipated, as the food was tasty, and the servings of food were more than generous! Some of the items that stood out for me was the Roast Duck, & Orange County. My dad's friend also commented on how good the Mongolian Beef dish was. Overall, a wonderful dining experience, as we received excellent service, & good food! read more

I used to order food from here a long time ago when I lived about a mile from here. We had an errand in Waipahu so dropped by to order a take out and bring it home but decided to dine in. We wanted to order 3 choices we never tried here before so we got the Honey Walnut Shrimp, Minute Chicken and Beef Chow Fun (Gravy Style). The food served was very tasty and thought the portion for each entree was generous. We would definitely order these again! This restaurant is clean and spacious, there's lots of parking and the workers are so nice and friendly. We had a lot of leftovers so I asked for 2 containers and was going to combine 2 of the dishes together but our waitress said she'll give me another one...thought that was really nice of her. We enjoyed our experience here so we will be back!!! read more

Kunia Chinese Restaurant - So sad but a metal looks like a washer was in the chow funn noodle plate, quite disappointing - Chinese Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Came for Father's Day dinner and the restaurant was packed! Even with all their customers, dining and waiting, their servers were always polite and attentive. The restaurant is clean and food delicious. We had reservations and didn't wait long to be seated. They even allowed us to place our order early so our meal came soon after being seated. We enjoyed a variety of great dishes but the roast duck was the best. Make reservations and enjoy!! read more

All of the dishes were quite disappointing! This was once our favorite Chinese restaurant, especially since it's just a 5-minute drive away, but that's no longer the case; the food has declined in quality. The last few times we've ordered, it was quite bad. The orange chicken was tough and dry (overcooked nasty chicken breast), the egg blossom soup was tasteless (just water and cornstarch), and the spicy garlic eggplant tofu was subpar, lacking any garlic or spice flavor; the tofu was nasty spongy and chewy, the worst I've ever had. I recommend making the trip to Grand Chinese in Pearl City (a new restaurant). Every dish we tried there was ono with plenty flavor (old school Chinese style dishes). read more

Always good food and open tables even though it's busy! I'm a regular and they are consistent with their food and their service.

I ordered a 1/2 order crispy gaugee which is 4, the menu says $12.95 for a full order of 8, I was charged $12 for 4, and the explanation I was given was that "it's just like Costco, the more you buy, the cheaper it is." This was after I ate, paid and double checked my bill, and of course I had to inquire else they would not have said anything. Be sure to check your bill, unless you don't mind paying $3 each for a half order of over cooked gaugee and pay about a dollar less than a full order that maybe you can't eat by yourself so that's why you order half. You might not waste food, but remember that at Kunia Chinese Restaurant, it's like Costco, the more you buy the cheaper it is, and half orders DO NOT EQUAL HALF PRICE. It would be best to buy ground pork, shrimp, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and won ton pi from a wholesale food store and make my own load because it's cheaper as I'd be buying more. I am enlightened. read more

The mission: find a neighborhood Chinese restaurant that still cooks old school chop suey house, favorites. They are a dyingj breed. By chop suey house, I'm referencing cornstarch thickened, brown, watered down chicken stock goo surrounding wok stir fried beef, pork, chicken or mixed seafood with snow peas, onions, canned mushrooms or bite sized bits of red braised pork belly kau yuk, else glistening, yellow lemon sauce coating batter coated fried chicken. Sadly the food here is not old school and oddly, not even what you'd expect to find in an Americanized Chinese eatery. 1. Oyster sauce chicken: Extremely salty oven roasted chicken, cut up in gigantic pieces and covered with even saltier thickened, watered down imitation oyster sauce concoction. Inedible. 2. Kau Yuk - Dry with no fat. Thick cut pieces of pork shoulder, not pork belly are under braised. Chewy and stringy. Bizarre seasoning that somehow makes it taste better with Heinz ketchup. 3. Beef with snow peas - Tough beef but otherwise, a generous portion of properly snow peas. OK seasoning but no wok hei. Only passable dish of the three sampled. On a positive note, easy online ordering and each takeout container well wrapped in cling film to prevent leakage. Maybe I ordered the wrong things? Maybe this is food made for a different demographic? Not for me. read more

Ordered 3 medium pans for a party. Called in the order for the next day. The lady on the phone gave me the total and ask me to add a tip. I said tip? I'm picking up. She said you have to tip the kitchen for cooking your food. I said ok. I did that but at the same time im thinking like why do I have to tip the kitchen when the owners are cooking the food and it should already have been included into the very pricy menu already. Food was delicious but I didn't like their service. read more

I attended a graduation dinner here with my 'Ohana for my nephews. My first time here and I was so impressed with the service and food! Amy and the crew of Kunia Chinese Restaurant were on it, efficient, and very, very accommodating and kind. The food was yummy and pretty "clean" meaning not overly oily. Restaurant and bathroom were clean. There were about 50 of us attending. Mahalo, Kunia Chinese Restaurant!!! read more

This place is amazing. It's so clean and well kept. You can tell everyone that works there takes pride in the restaurant. It truly is a wonderful family run restaurant. The food is wonderful and they give good portion sizes! Even if you are only getting take-out the service is exceptional. While you sit and wait they will ask you if you want water. I'm sorry but this level of customer service is a dying art. Something as simple as this speaks volumes as to a place and how they value their customers. They truly are happy to have celebrated the 20th anniversary of the restaurant you can see the pride they take in that with the decorations! It truly something wonderful to see read more

Food is really great here. Not oily. You eat family style over here so you buy a bunch and share. Friendly staff. They love children. Very accommodating and caring towards us making sure the kids had the right cups and utensils. Honestly, this is the only Chinese restaurant I have come to trust and love. I haven't found any like it yet! read more

Hubby and I craving for Chinese and came here. We shared the dinner plate and is disappointed. It was like no feeling to the food. Everything on the plate was luke warm to room temperature. Example the (my fave) chow mein was not cooked, the spare ribs and oyster chicken was dry and over cooked. The crispy gau gee was not even warmed up. Fried rice okay. Not sure if we'll be back anytime soon. But I can say their service is really good. read more

I have been to a bunch of Chinese restaurants around the island, but hands down this is the best one on the west side of the island. I have only ordered from them through door dash. My hopes weren't that high until our order got delivered, I had gotten the honey walnut shrimp - House fried rice - Egg soup with pork hash - chicken corn soup - crispy gau gee and you have to get the Kau Yuk (pot roast pork) The prices on doordash were not that bad and the portion sizes were pretty good on the app that whole order cost me $90, which I think was worth it cause it was also leftovers for the next 2 days haha. The restaurant wrapped up the food so nicely and secured especially for drivers that pick up, their attention to detail is appreciated and I'm sure they provide good service just by the way they prepare and pack the food. Highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Finally stopped at Kunia Chinese Restaurant for supper and discovered a place where our expectations were satisfied. The restaurant was bright, clean and orderly. Tables and chairs were clean and not sticky, no hand prints or smudges on the entry doors and windows. We were cordially directed to a table by the window by wait staff with glasses of water and menu in hand. We ordered three of our favorite dishes as a taste trial being it was our first time there and were pleasantly surprised. The food we ordered were promptly delivered but a little bit warmer in temperature than we expected but still enjoyed. The food we selected was full of flavor and presentation was tasteful. The quantity of the food was beyond expectations. The only suggestion we have is to turn down the volume of their music, a bit too loud. Our satisfaction was met and we returned two days later and ordered take out of two more of our favorite dishes and were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the quality, quantity, and flavor. We will definitely make this our "go to" when we are hungry for Chinese food in all of Ewa and Kapolei. read more

We decided to try this place again. We ordered takeout instead of dining in. We were greeted immediately after walking in and was asked if we made a takeout order. I told the employee no and she said she would be right with me and walked in the back. Another employee ended up taking my order which was fine as they were very busy. They were very busy with many tables inside and phone orders. A party also came in and decided not to dine there because they didn't have reservations and the restaurant did not have a table available right away. We were told our order would take 20-25 minutes, which was fine. We ordered at 7:10pm and our order was done at 7:35pm, 25 minutes on the dot. We ordered two take out plates. 1. Egg Fuyong over Fried Rice: (The egg fuyong was delicious and had a good balance between the egg and veggies. The fried rice was plain. It was just tossed with some egg and very little peas.) 2. Roast Duck and Char Sui over Steamed Rice: (The roast Duck was good and tasty. It was not dry, which was a plus. All but 2 pieces of the char sui were very dry and seemed old. Not good at all and I couldn't eat it. I was a bit disappointed it and also that I paid $3 for extra veggies which was under the duck and pork but didn't seem as though there was extra. The veggies were not much.) There is a good amount of tables inside for dining. The restaurant is well lit with chandelier lighting. This visit was better than our previous visit and debating if I should try it again and just not order the items that I didn't like. Other food items must be good as many eat there. We like to eat Chinese food from time to time but each time we came, something was a disappointment. read more

Order was correct. Food was delicious. Happy that my go to place has remained consistent. I have ordered 4 times since my last review

Had a party here tonight and must say the service is terribly slow, pre ordered the 7 course party menu and from the first dish to the last dish took over 1hour 25minutes. Never in my life seen a Chinese restaurant with such slow service. They need to get their program together... food was mediocre. Roaches crawling all over the back wall... won't be back again. read more
