New Queen Barbeque - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lunch here is a safe bet! If you want some local food for lunch then this place may just be your place. Parking may be a challenge but there is a line of stalls on Cooke St outside of Imperial Plaza as well as other stalls further down Kawaihao St. This place gets busy during lunch so do not hesitate to call in your order. Food is tasty and decently priced! Chopped steak is good - cheap steak, bell peppers, onions, and celery all stir-fried together with a nice sweet, salty sauce. Saimin is pretty generous for $4.25! And the noodles they use are the standard, curly ones - they're the "min" noodles - thin and long. I really enjoy their saimin. Broth can be a little bland so just add some shoyu or preferred sauce. Healthy garlic ahi plate is very filling and pretty tasty. If you like garlic, you will like the garlic ahi! Other dishes I've heard feedback on include Fried chicken wings, cold ginger chicken, hamburger steak, and loco moco. Fried chicken wings are very generous and told to be very tasty. Cold ginger chicken is extremely generous and they are also generous with the ginger! Hamburger steak (mini) is quite a good amount for the price and is told to have tasty sauce. Mac salad is alright, nothing special. Prices are decent. I'd say, they're pretty generous for their prices. The minis can fill you up quite a bit. The main lady who takes your order is quick and efficient. The other lady worker got our orders mixed up a few times but nothing too major. Staff overall is fast and efficient! This may not always be our first choice in the immediate area but is always a safe bet since their food remains consistent and we don't mind paying for their food. Don't pass up an opportunity to try some of their dishes during lunch! read more

Located in kakaako, this is a decent place to get some food. It's not exactly the best food, or the nicest restaurant, but there's plenty of street parking and it's convenient. The food is standard fare, hot dogs and burgers and plate lunches. The prices are decent, but it's what you would expect for the cheaper price range. This is more of a two and a half star place. You can order food and eat it there, or take it out. I don't think I would go back has the food was basically on car with a McDonald's burger and frozen fries read more

Enjoyed the pork adobo plate!!! Menu had an array of options. Portions were great and so was price

Good portion, almost always consistent quality. Nothing's cheap in Hawaii no more but very good value for ur money. Better than the original-u no wham saying. 4 Stars because their short hours and no parking. read more

New Queen Barbeque - Mixed plate - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This has been my go-to place whenever I am craving for some local hawaii bbq plate lunches when I am at work in town. I have been a customer since my dad took me here since I was probably in middle school. It had been through changes through out the years but the food has been still pretty reasonably huge despite price inflation. New Queens BBQ is similar to L&L or Loco Moco and they cater a lot to the near-by offices/construction workers. The place can be very busy during lunch rush (12ish) and witness a line from the inside all the way out the door. People are waiting outside for their food since there is no space inside. This place can be found on the corner of Queens St. and Cooke Street (can't miss). Pros: -The prices here for plate lunches are reasonable for the portion they offer compared to the other plate lunches in downtown Honolulu -Takes cash, credit/debit cards ($5 minimu. -Decent customer service now compared to a few years back. Always greeting and thanking the customers for their patronage. Recently, I just got my order and wanted to tie my bag before I walked back to my office but I needed a table to place my lunch on top. Cashier was concerned if my order was wrong but nothing was wrong. But it should that they care about the quality of food that is being brought out of the kitchen. Also, when placing an order, the cashier will always picks up the phone and you are never left waiting for someone to pick up. -Receipts available on request (let cashier know or you will not get any. Recommended to request if you are making debit/credit card purchases) -My 1st personal favorite/recommendation is the Chicken Katsu Curry (Regular/Mini). Usually the chicken katsu curry plate is normally priced higher than the regular chicken katsu and chicken cutlet at any local hawaii bbq plate lunch places but you are getting a deal here. The chicken katsu pieces were thick, crunchy, seasoned well, and huge. Trying to eat a regular chicken katsu plate from New Queens BBQ with the side of two scoops of rice/one scoop of mac salad would give you the "kanak attack" at the office. Fills you up better than the other plate lunch establishments on Bishop/Alakea where a regular plate looks like a mini plate and a half. -My 2nd recommendation is the Mix Plate for $9.99 (cheaper than other places) for the same amount of food you are getting. This plate consist of 1 hamburger patty, 1 big slice of teri beef, and your choice of either chili, beef curry, or beef stew. The hamburger patty is home made and very tasty, the teri beef is well-marinated and can taste the teriyaki flavor, and the beef inside both the curry/stew is tender and melts in your mouth. I never tried the chili but I will try on my next visit. Definitely recommended to try out if you want a variety of food to try out. -3rd Recommendation: Fried Chicken plate. Big thighs, crispy skin, juicy, and its tastier than Zippy's. Cons: -Unfortunately, there is only street parking (meter) unless you are taking the bus (bus stop pretty close by) or walking from the office/home. -The walk from the office to New Queen Barbecue can seem to be far. To save time during your lunch break, you can just call their number and place your order in advance. By the time you are at New Queens, your lunch will be ready and all you need to do is pay/pick up. -Brown rice is offered but charge is extra (per scoop) -Substitution for french fries instead of rice is also extra. Ten years ago, it was no charge. -Since the door is open and on the corner, leaves tend to be blown inside and birds can sometimes enter inside. read more

New Queen Barbeque - Mix plate (Hamburger Steak, Beef Stew and Teri Beef) for $9.95 plus tax - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

I'm slowly exploring the eateries around my new office building. My co-worker gave me the "ins" about a breakfast plate for only $4.75. Yep, $4.75. Thinking it was too good to be true, I walked over to New Queen Barbeque which is right on the corner Queen and Cooke Street. For $4.75 you get a bed of white rice, 2 large eggs cooked how you want, and one choice of meat. They also have a combo plate for a little over $5 where you get assorted meats. I got my eggs over easy and chose bacon for my meat. Minimum $5 order to use credit card. With only two people waiting for take out in front of me, I was in and out under 7 minutes. They provided fork, napkin, ketchup and shoyu packets, although I did see a help-yourself area for more napkins, knives, black pepper, and all other essentials. Back at my office I popped open the styrofoam container to find 2 rather greasy eggs and somewhat-crunchy bacon on a dry bed of rice. I patted down my bacon with napkins but it didn't do much. My eggs were watery/oily to my dismay and although they gave choke rice, the quality just wasn't there for me. I would've preferred the eggs not fried in heavy oil and the bacon dry racked before plated but you get what you pay for. I ended up only finishing 3/4 of the breakfast plate and suffered for it as my acid reflux flared up. The service is friendly, fast, and the breakfast plate is LARGE and CHEAP, so if you aren't suffering from acid reflux like me I think this place is a major deal as far as breakfast goes! read more

Love this bbq restaurant they have great portions and the food is very decent I have ordered their breakfast special so worth it for 8$ plus they are so nice and they are so accommodating. Food is consistently good and that is what I look at when I consider doing business with anyone read more

Used to be a good plate lunch spot, now way overpriced and 0 quality. I ordered the regular fried shrimp that I always used to get when working on Kapiolani Blvd. Fried shrimp has hardly ANY SHRIMP! It's mostly fried panko and hard enough to break your teeth! Not to mention the Mac salad was trash, and they gave a tiny dallop of tartar sauce for SEVEN SHRIMP. Definitely the last time I'll be here, sad to see some things have changed. Oh and that with an Arizona came out to $16.12!!!! NEVER COMING BACK, LEARN FROM ME AND BUY BETTER FOOD ELSEWHERE read more

Classic plate lunch place. It's been around for a couple decades. I remember going here in the 90s. Not sure if the same owners. Food is decent and the portions are large. Prices have gone up recently but that's expected in the current economy. I usually call my order in to pick up and most of the time it's ready when I get there. They can get busy around lunch time. Breakfast combo plate is good with 4 different meats, rice and egg. The usual plate lunch selection and also select Chinese dishes, ex. Crispy Gau Gee. Fried Chicken plate is good with big thigh pieces. Only junk thing is lack of parking. I live close by so I can just walk over but if I had to find parking, I'd probably go somewhere more convenient. read more

Finally figured out where this place was and it's not too far from my workplace. That's already a plus! I had to really think about what I wanted beforehand since I'm such an indecisive eater. So with the help of yelp I figured I'd get a local favorite, the hamburger steak (mini). It was relatively clean and neat. It's a cute little mom and pop-like place but their service was crazy fast! I was probably able to get my food within 5minutes of ordering. Of course I was sure it was due to coming at a down time. The food overall was really good, there's so much gravy!!! Yes! The meat was soft, nicely cooked, drenched in gravy how I like it, and even a mini is really packed. As I was carrying it back to my office I noted how the food had weight to it. Cheap, great portion sizes and good customer service. NQB is doing it right! :) read more

Located at the Diamond Head mauka corner of Cooke and Queen Streets, New Queen's Barbevue is a small establishment with several small tables inside if you wish to dine in, but more of a take-out joint. Lots of workmen are lined up for take-out, so it must either be good or they must give lots of food... I chose the mini loco moco, which is one egg over easy on top of a hamburger patty on white rice, smothered in gravy. My mini had cold, tasty mac salad in additiion to the loco moco. When I opened the clamshell, my loco moco was smothered in a light, beige colored gravy instead of the usual dark brown gravy - chicken gravy vs meat gravy? Oh no! Does this mean that the loco moco is going to taste weird?! Not to worry! It was hot, delicious, and satisfying and gone in minutes! Only difficulty is understanding the cashier, whose English is minimal. She seemed overwhelmed and sometimes confused and handed out someone's credit card to the closest person at hand! Yikes! This was at the breakfast rush... read more

Absolutely loved the pho and spring rolls. The peanut sauce was very nice' service was super nice and good delivered very quickly! My soup as I like!! Steamy hot!! Definitely recommend eating here. Will be back !! read more

This place is usually in my rotation of lunch spots in town, and I've been pretty satisfied by their plate lunches for a few years. However, I got the beef stew & crab rangoon late last week... and it was horrific. The crab rangoon was inedible because the filling had no flavor or cream cheese and was a weird orange color. The beef stew tasted like they took the carrot, potato and beef from another batch of stew and plopped it into tomato sauce and cooked it. It was sweet and tangy, not savory like beef stew should be! It was also an orange/reddish color, not the usual brown. I fear this place is becoming like many other restaurants in town: skimp as much as possible on food/ingredients to save money to pay the now astronomical rent prices. I hope I'm wrong and caught them on an off day, but I'll wait and see how long Queen's sticks around with all the gentrification. read more

Quick, filling and great prices. Had the breakfast combo and french toast. Was yummy. Hit the spot. Good for Sat and Sun breakfast....can dine in or eat out read more

I live across the street and really liked walking here for breakfast on Saturdays. The breakfast plate is tasty with a variety of meats, perfectly cooked eggs and choice to upgrade to fried rice. I also like getting their mini loco moco, the patty is seasoned well! read more

Fast service, friendly staff, consistent, good beef stew. A staple in my take out rotation.

My office did a sizable take out order of plate lunches and burgers. I got the regular garlic chicken and trying to eat healthy, I wanted to substitute the mac salad (which isn't actually salad!) for actual tossed salad. The food was ready when my coworkers went to pick it up. Parking is bad around the location. So hungry me grabs what I THINK is a garlic chicken plate lunch with two scoops of rice and tossed salad. What hungry me ACTUALLY got was a garlic chicken plate lunch with a bed of shredded cabbage and lettuce, no dressing, no rice. Yes you heard me, plate lunch garlic chicken NO RICE, NO RICE! What a culinary travesty. Now, I'm half thinking, "who called this order in?!" but my coworker yells, "where's the extra stuff on my burger!?" She had ordered the deluxe but got the regular burger. Now, we try not to hire idiots, but sometimes we're all idiots. But TWO orders messed up? That ain't my office. Someone at Queen's screwed that up. We check our bill and they didn't charge us for the deluxe, but you know how ordering out can lead to anticipation. Anyway, my garlic chicken was maybe a 6.5 out of 10, not that crispy or flavorful, but a solid amount of chicken. It looks like Queen's subscribes to the "quantity over quality" mantra. I don't know if I'd come back considering the alternatives down town and even the alternatives nearby to Queen's BBQ. So, pros are cheap and lots of food, cons are middle of the line food and messed up orders. read more

Convenient and reasonably cheap. Don't expect much more then that with service. But it is what it serves. If you are in the kakaako neighborhood and want a cheap quick bite you should go. I like the garlic chicken and breakfast plates read more

Awesome service amazing food and great atmosphere! Food tastes like it came right off the stove at home!

I've coming to this location for years usually for lunch, their menu is pretty wide range, is good & prices are reasonable !

BREAKFAST COMBO: That's all I have to say and that's all you have to order. If you are looking for a hearty breakfast that will satisfy your appetite without breaking the bank, then this will put a smile on your face. The breakfast special consists of two or three Strips of Bacon, a piece of Spam,Two Link Sausages, and Two pieces of Portuguese Sausage with Two Eggs and Rice for under six bucks. Now that my friends is a Breakfast that leaves me doing the Happy Dance. There are other things I have tried as well such as the Pork Adobo, which I have to say is pretty damn good considering it is prepared by Chinese Cooks. I like the fact that it is not drowning in adobo sauce, but it's made the way my Daddy makes it where it's literally made with it's own Pork Fat and see a lot of Peppercorns and Garlic and that's the way I like it so kudo's to those Chinese Cooks. Also, the Garlic Chicken is delicious as well. I will warn you, if you are eating this before you go to work, you will smell like a walking Garlic Bulb. The Garlic Chicken was crunchy and quite moist and not dry at all. I will tell you this, if you are a voracious eater, I would definitely suggest you order a full plate because the portions here are pretty huge so for you dainty eaters out there, I suggest you order a mini and it'll suit you just fine. New Queen's Bbq is the name now and not called Queen's Bbq. They do have four or five tables in the eatery but it can get pretty hot in there, and during lunch it can get pretty hectic considering they are very close to an industrial area with many auto body shops and warehouses are located. Parking can be quite challenge but there are quite a bit of metered parking along the side streets. And for a takeout place, it is actually pretty clean and not dingy or grimey like most hole in the wall places usually are. I have eaten at a lot of breakfast places all around the island, but I have to say the sole reason for me going to New Queen's Bbq is because of the Breakfast Combo. It's dirt cheap and it leaves me very very satisfied. And for those people who say that Chinese Lady is a Meanie, she is actually quite nice if you ask me. read more

Great food. Good location. Fast and aunty and uncle there are always super friendly. They take great precautions with covid. The breakfast special is bomb!! Large portions for great prices. Plus, its really clean unlike some other plate lunch places. read more

We saw this tiny hole-in-the-wall while visiting the Goodwill down the block and the employees there told us it was a 'good place'. So, we checked it out. The photos currently shown of the establishment look a lot different now. The place is very drab and ugly, with nothing on the walls and old ratty chairs/tables. Even the menu is scraps of paper, white board and other text telling you what they have. However, there is usually a long line out the door for orders and those eating inside. The menu ranges all over the place. A bit of Hawaii, Chinese, etc. I ordered 1/2 order of Orange Chicken for under $8. It was just 'ok'....with large scoop of rice. My husband ordered Garlic Ahi and he got a winner. A nice piece of fresh tuna fish, Mac salad and rice for under $9. It was delicious. They have about 6 types of canned drinks in a cold fridge as well. You order, and wait for your stuff to be made. Take it to go (which most do) or sit at a table and eat with little fanfare. We shared a table with a local (we are from the mainland) and talked story the whole time. This is NOT a fancy place, but one you would miss if you drove by. It IS a real hole-in-the-wall that the locals know about and open at 5 am for the Dock Workers (and other blue collar labor) in the area. Close to a few bus lines (we took the bus from Waikiki) and an easy walk. Breakfast is $4.99 (as of 11/19), but we never made it out there to sample. read more

My co-worker introduced me to New Queen's Chinese Restaurant. We were taking a late lunch and I was not really hungry so I opted for a fish sandwich. He twisted my arm and got me to upgrade to a deluxe fish sandwich while he ordered two burgers. The restaurant is very basic and clean. Our food came out fairly quickly and I was pleasantly surprised. It certainly didn't look like much-but my fish sandwich (I think it was mahi-mahi) actually tasted quite good! The fish was cooked nicely and I left happy. My co-worker seemed to enjoy his burgers :) read more

The owner is so very friendly! That's what first caught my attention. Maybe I was expect an Ah Lang experience. She knows my voice when I place an order, as soon as I walk in my order is bagged and ready to go. Almost every dish is well prepared and seasoned well. Except for the veal, typical frozen then reheated. I had the veal on my second visit, thankfully not my first, don't think I would have been back if it was. Their mini plates contain a lot of food. My favorites are the pork adobo, garlic chicken and mochiko chicken. I am NOT a fan of chicken. If it's bone in I'll leave and inch and a half around the bone (don't care for the vein or to see them). To say two of their chicken dishes are my favorites means a lot. Great food, quick, fast and friendly service and now they've been accepting credit cards ($5 minimum purchase, of course) yay! read more

Okay, straight off the bat, I should have gotten the superb deal of a breakfast - I think its $4.25 for rice, 2 eggs and bacon, sausage and spam (or something like that). I think it would be a great Sunday morning, or if you are lucky enough to weekday morning after surf meal. And I don't even surf, but I think for that price, it would please any surfer's starvation. Moving on, THEY ARE OPEN ON SUNDAYS. One of the few places open in that area. I worked on a Sunday and stumbled across and I must admit, I'm glad I did. You know how first impressions sometimes are everything? Well, luckily me and this place met like this. Like sunshine through storm clouds as a began to panic as I thought about how much work time I would lose if I had to keep on driving. Straight up, this is the kind of grungy looking place near the kind of grungy looking part of Kakaako. There is a few places like the scatter through the area, but you kind of get the idea when I say Queen Street. Yah. And parking is atrocious on any other day... but a Sunday! And really, you walk in and its amazingly much cleaner looking on the inside, all nice and white. The kitchen is right behind the cashier so even if you don't want to look all State of Hawaii Department of Health, you can casually check it out as you look at the menu and at the cashier. Coolbeans. On to the order. I got the "special of the day" roast pork, or as my mom put it, "oh, Kalua pig." Well, now that you mention it....It was homemade, the grave and mac salad was super tasty but nothing to write home about. (The best for last) THE CRAB WON TONS. Okay, as I usually do, I will tell you about me so you can decide if you are like me enough to enjoy or not enjoy what I enjoy... or not enjoy. So here it is. My mom is from Japan, so we did grow up doing much cheese at all. I didn't eat mac and cheese until my sister was old enough to make it herself. (I never mastered the skill of micro M & C until I was...last week) So whenever people make those wonderful fried, crunchy and gooey appetizers, while I love the crab part, I usually don't like the cheese part. This place has CRAB WON TONS made for Asians by Asians. (They are Chinese with the usual Chinese dishes thrown in the mix of local food). These Won Tons had something smooth on the inside with very little cheese taste, but super tasty. And it had veggies! Lots of it! and not like crunch or chewy. Everything was the same texture so you could tell between the two, but it was all so flavorful, creamy and crabby, with not so much cheese flavor. Throw that crispy won ton around it and I was taken. Someone who finally understands me! And you get 5 big ones for $4.25! I am planning my Sunday workday meals already! Warning: for you lactose intolerant Asians, I did not say that this did not have cheese, I said it was not as cheese tasting. I am not lactose intolerant so I have no way of identifying if there is dairy or not. Overall, the place was crowded on this Sunday morning and I can't really say if it was because the food is wonderful or it it was because it was the only place open. I can say that you can't go wrong with a breakfast deal like that WITH a side order to Crab Won Tons. read more

I just paid $6.96 for beef stew. 3 pieces of meat, 1 big chunk of carrot. Really? How sucky is this? If I wanted just tomato sauce, I would just buy Campbell. This is their mini plate. I ate some of it already, but just got me all mad when I'm digging for more meat. Not worth it and never again. Update: I gave them a chance because I like their beef stew. OMG!! This time, I ordered regular plate for $8.95......again, not enough meat. I'm eating potato and carrot stew. Who gives 4 pieces of meat on a regular. My fault for coming back. read more

Cheap breakfast in town. I've been going here for years. I would get the breakfast special with two eggs, spam (1 pc), Portuguese sausage (2 pc), link sausage (2 pc) and bacon (3 pc). Nowadays, I just like the link sausage (5 pc) with two eggs and it just costs $5.23 with tax. It is way cheaper than other places and they give more food. Just remember the breakfast meats are fried and therefore somewhat greasy. I usually phone order and when I get there the food is ready to go. read more

Haven't tried other items but got a breakfast plate. Not bad for $8. Breakfast plate with 2 eggs is $5. I got a bacon plate with side link sausage. 4 large link sausages and 4 long strips bacon was ALOT. read more

New Queen Barbeque - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love this place!! They open really early in the morning so my husband always tries to make it there for breakfast before he has to go into work. The breakfast combo comes with so much meat, (bacon, spam, sausage) eggs and rice and it doesn't cost more than around $6. They have a good variety of food to choose from during breakfast hours as well as for lunch. Their food is cheap and they give you generous amounts of food, like I mentioned previously. Anyone who is in the area should definitely come here and taste their local food. My favorite is their Katsu chicken, but then again, everything is great on their menu! read more

You pretty much can't go wrong with any chicken plate here - katsu/fried/garlic/teri. Well except for their mushroom chicken which was mostly zucchini. The garlic chicken is great, though it is only a Friday special. Other items off the menu to try are the pork cutlet (but sometimes it takes a while longer to prepare and roast pork with gravy (I think this is a Friday special). Many of the mini plate are $4.25 - $4.75 which is a deal since they pile it up. If you dine there and let the cashier know, normally you will get a plate instead of container which has a bigger portion. read more

I'm always a late lunch eater (or early dinner) about 3 pm is a bad time to look for food. But, do-able. Found parking in front of ah-lang cause I wanted to try it out due to all the great reviews on Yelp. The sign said OPEN but,....unfortunately, it was for the Nail shopp next door. (lol) Oh well, I already put money in the parking meter so I wasn't about to move my car. Haha yes, I'm cheap! Queens BBQ was the closest thing open so, in I went. I ordered the Veal Cutlet in haste cause it looked like they were about to close. Sat and started to read the reviews. Whoa! talk about mixed reviews. I read mostly the bad ones and I think that was a good thing because I expected the worse and it turned out pretty good. Yes, the lady taking the orders is a little rough and abrupt(sp). Yes, the gravy tastes a little weird Yes, the place is dirty but, My Veal was good sized. I tolerated the gravy (maybe because I was hungry. but, wouldnt have noticed the taste if I didnt read the review). the lady wasnt all that bad. At least she dont bite. haha All in all I would probably go back if all others were closed. PS to the guy with the "short and to the point" review.....Id hate to see a long review. lol jus sayin read more

This is my kind of food. The kind where you have to go on a day off because nothing is going to get done after you eat! I always see what the have for the special. it's a chinese place so you have to order chinese! I had today's special which was Eggplant and chicken. Look at the pics. Can't you see that the food is piled on the plate. I always get served a lot so I never eat there. I have to take it home and after you eat you go into this coma phase. The fried chicken is good there. I always get it and save a couple of pieces for later. Another thing, not too many places you can go nowadays and get a whopping plate for under $7. Save some for later too. One tip- Get the special. It's written on the dry erase board in the front. Big G read more

We were looking for a place that was open for lunch on Friday because everything was closed due to Hurricane Lane. We heard that the wait for the drive-thru at the Jack in the Box on Ward was about 45 minutes when someone mentioned that New Queen Barbeque was open. This is a basic plate lunch place and they give pretty big portions. I got the mini friend chicken plate and it came with two pieces of chicken, one scoop of rice, and one scoop of mac salad. read more

New Queen Barbeque - Mini fried chicken - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Note: It is now called New Queen's BBQ. Stopped here on a holiday around 11:30, so no waiting. Bus route 6 heading downtown literally stops at the front door. (Bus stop for 6 heading toward Ward/Ala Moana Center is kitty corner.) Remodeled not too long ago, the place looks clean. You can see them cooking. Lots of specials, lots of variety, likely something for everyone, even those on special diets. Inexpensive. Ordered regular cheeseburger and BBQ cheeseburger (BBQ sauce instead of ketchup and mustard). For 75 cents extra, I made the burgers deluxe (lettuce, tomato, huge onion slice,not just a few rings). Also got one order of fries (puffy, crinkle-cut) and an order of crispy gau gee (5 pieces). If you are looking for a gourmet or special burger, you'll be disappointed. Take it for what it is, a good, regular, local burger, and you'll enjoy it. The meat and bun were fresh, as were the toppings. Both the fries and gau gee were winners - hot and fresh, not oily or greasy. The oil was hot enough and clean, so the fries and gau gee tasted like they should, not fish or chicken or whatever else had just been fried. The gau gee was homemade and generously stuffed. BTW, they do take debit and cards for purchases $5 and over. (At the time I write this, the restaurant details on Yelp! say they don't.) My friend and I both gave the meal two thumbs-up. The leftover fries were even good cold. Can't wait to try the fried chicken and garlic chicken and more. read more
