    The reason my kids and I make the drive out to the Makaha area, for the fried calamari. That's all we buy at this place. We literally roll up, park, and order a large side order of calamari which roughly comes out to a little over $10 and feeds four of us and there's still extras left. Small lot but most of it is come and go so I've never had a issue finding parking. The employees do their jobs with little customer interaction and communication but I don't think or feel that it's intentional. The place needs some cleaning and remodeling as far as atmosphere, and maybe redo their parking lot asphalt , but it won't kill anyone. The food is tasty. Maybe one day we'll try some other things, but for now, we'll stick to our calamari.

    So, ive pasted this place several times cruising down Waianae side, but never thought to stop and try the food here. Someone recommended this place to me so We took the long journey, about 20 miles+. I was told the mochiko chicken was good here, as well as the calamari. So thats what I ordered, as well as other items. i must say, its better to ask for fresh cooked food choices, worth the wait! I shouldve asked for fresh mochiko chicken. Other items we got was the egg fuyong, eggplant, mapo tofu, orange chicken and fried rice/chowmein. My favorites out of all the items were the eggplant, egg fuyong, and the calamari. The calamari is soft and tasty. I would order it again but in the large plate. Parking is plenty. No dine in. It can get busy during lunch time.

    Regular Breakfast plate. Comes with Rice eggs and 3 meat choices. $5.**

    Super Cheap Breakfast you can't go wrong here. Do try to get here early because the lines get very long in the morning especially on the weekends. Lots of parking if it is not too crowded. The Regular Breakfast plate Comes with Rice eggs and 3 meat choices for just $5.**. It is not no mini plate but a regular large size plate. This place could use a little renovation because I would always take-out and never dine in here. They also do not have any public restrooms. The service is not very friendly. Just think of the mindset of get the customers in and out as fast as possible with zero emotions.

    That's how burnt it was & really dry

    Good food and good breakfast. Just they only take cash no card that's the only down fall. But the food is good and the works is very nice.

It's not too spicy and is packed with flavor. I put it on everything. This location in Wai'anae can be pretty busy on the weekend but it's worth the wait, if there is one. Occasionally I come during the week and it is a little calmer. The inside is big and open and has plenty of seating for large families. The service is always good. The food is always consistent and delicious. The broth is my favorite on the westside. Just the right amount of spices. I haven't tried the meat toppings, maybe I will eventually. The tempura veggies is a new fav of mine. The gyoza is stuffed full, perfectly crispy and well flavored. Their spring rolls are crispy light and delicious. I'm gonna order that steak next time for real! Each time I come someone orders it and it smells so good, come sour sizzling and turning everyone's head when it comes out of the kitchen.

Everything was cooked fast, fresh to order, and great bang for your buck considering all the pricy touristy spots you can go to. We also appreciated that they had plenty of healthy options with lots of veggies. This spot is a very typical Asian American cantonese restaurant and every dish we tried was great. In fact, afterwards we put in more orders for take out so we can eat it for dinner as well. 100% would come back. Their menu is huge and I'm sure some things are better than others so I would suggest sticking to the classics and you won't be let down. Steamed fish filet served with garlic and green onions: light, fresh, tender, and delicate with a flavorful sauce. Always a hit in my family 9.5/10 Mongolian beef: very tender beef over some stir fried onions and with a sweet and savory sauce. This plate had a more sweet sauce then I usually am used to but everyone was really happy with it and had no real complaints. 9/10 Curry chicken: not something I usually order at a Chinese restaurant but was glad we tried as it was a very tender chicken dish with a flavorful yellow curry and some veggies. The sauce mixed with white rice was unbeatable. 10/10 Eggplant and tofu in garlic sauce: saucy, tender and garlicky, it was a standard version of this dish and hit the spot. I think it could of had even more garlicky flavor but I am nitpicking and would still get anytime if I came back. 8.5/10 Mixed veggies with garlic sauce: light and healthy and the wok hei really came through. 8.5/10 Shrimp chow fun with gravy: shrimp was not overcooked and very tender and the noodles were al dente. The whole dished was topped with a boatload of savory sauce. Was even better with some added chili oil. Also once you ate the noodles you can add some rice into the sauce to soak it up and enjoy it that way as well. 9/10 In summary, come and support this family ran restaurant. If you are craving this style of Chinese food served family style with excellent service, it will certainly hit the spot.

I'm telling you as a carb lover and noodle over rice any day this places has me rethinking my priorities because if it's Chun Wah Kam it has to be the Ginger Fried Rice...what a heavenly bite of the beloved cold ginger chicken but not greasy or crazy overwhelming it's my go to side item but yes they also have amazing entree items as well not also talking about their manapuas as well. The family of steamer on the back wall is home to the delicious and unique fillings in regular an mini as well but you better make your decision because the portions here are very hearty that an ordinary brown bag will collapse at the weight of their plate so of course I got a mini with chow funn and eggplant tofu to share for dinner yes share lol! They do cater as well and are able to use their giant dining area for your event as well is a nice and convenient way to throw a party especially with lots of free parking where I think it's great vibe for a place to not just make but helps you to celebrate whatever the occasion with various dishes that we all love and is very comforting to support this small local biz. Thank you!
