    Popcorn chicken and fried fish tofu.
    Huy T.

    Food was fast with options for varying levels of spiciness as well as different soup bases. However the selection of vegetables and meat were limited. Some the veges, meat, and tofu were not very clean. The popcorn chicken was surprisingly good. Probably one of the best I've had. Service was fast. The name of the place is actually Overlord Chicken.

    My partner and I came by overlord chicken after I mentioned repeatedly that I would like to try their fried chicken & mala tang again. Service is good, more self service leaning, you just go and order at the counter and cashier will bring the order to you. The mala tang process goes, grab a bowl, pick out desired items, choose broth & spice level, they will weight, you pay, they prep and bring it out. Their selections for the mala tang is less than before and is now 19.99/LBS, with a 0.9lbs minimum. We got the traditional spicy level 2 and it was solid, not too spicy and good to enjoy and even drink the broth. We also got one spicy chicken leg and 2 drumsticks. The chicken were all very crispy and juicy. Not SUPER flavorful as I would've liked but good enough to stand against other standard fried chicken spots. It was clearly fried and made fresh though, as it was piping hot. We would definitely come back again, it was solid semi fast last night "comfort" food.

    It's all about the food here at Overlord which is very good. Known for their fried chicken, this is an absolute must. The menu is diverse so feel free to be adventurous. While parking is limited, you can find street parking in front of the restaurant and on surrounding side streets. Service here is friendly and the restaurant itself is intimate. Definitely get a whole fried chicken and some sides. Really really delicious. It's BYOB here too, so if you want to to enjoy some...bring some.

    Tomato base with spicy level 3
    Steven N.

    Wanted to get malatang so came here. options are wide but quality could be a little more premium since they're currently charging $20/lb (01/26). I would want more higher options for that price. got their Tomato base with spicy level 3 and Bone broth spicy level 2. both were good but the bone broth one is a little bland. Spicy level 2 and 3 are both spicy so be careful. Also got their Combo #4 chicken, comes 4 ways which is a great deal and great amount. also really good flavors too. young lady in the front doesn't speak much english, so anything out of her script, she won't understand. Food takes about 20 mins to come out during 6-8pm so be prepared to wait a little. Tables inside are limited so grab a table after you order

    Fries... Very mediocre
    Addie L.

    Mixed bag... We came here because a rave review from a YouTuber. Good news is their Combo #6 is a great deal which is more than enough food for 3 for less than $60. This comes with popcorn chicken, strips, sandwiches whole fried chicken fries and drinks. Out of all of the food, chicken sandwich is hands down the best. Crispy and moist and even has a hint of heat. One of the better sandwiches out there. Popcorn chicken is ok... Nice balance of meat and coating. Same for strips. Whole chicken came out temperature hot. Skin is very crispy and meat is moist. What's wrong? No flavor at all in the skin or meat.. as if trying to reduce the sodium for the meal. Very disappointed. Fries is ok.. Took a while to get the food and AC was broken. Summer months will be brutal. Recommend take out. The place is new so decor is nice and clean. Interesting.. most of the diners opted for their make your own soup (btw is by pound and minimum is $20).

    This is the 5th time here . Today the girl server didn't understand English or her brains just not there . When ask to order she look blank I ask to eat in she look blank . Obviously her mind is somewhere else . I walk out . No time with deal with ppl like that . Walk down Vietnamese noodles place much better service and great food .

    One of my FAVORITE restaurants! I personally love mala and anything Chinese herb (numbing sensation) so I was happy to find out that they reopened in Kapahulu. The restaurant is joint with the Overlord Chicken. Parking is available on Kapahulu or we usually find a spot on Date street and walk over. The ingredients seem to be fresh every time we go in and the service is quick and friendly. They charge you by the weight (you choose what to put in your soup) and for a pretty big amount, we were charged about $20 per person. I definitely recommend this place if you enjoy Chinese hot pot!

    Drove along Kapahulu Ave and noticed the signs for Mala Tang at 'Overlord Fried Chicken'. We wanted to try and found street parking - a stall available right in front. It was our first time there, so we took time to figure out the picture menus and concept for the Mala Tang. Slight language barrier with the worker but we ordered 2 bowls of Mala Tang with fried chicken & sausages to share. Asian bottled drinks available in the fridge. Casual seating area available to eat there. We waited as our food was freshly made to order. I had the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup... spice level 2 was perfect for me - slight kick. Hubz got the Spicy Bowl with rice... spice level 4. Bowls were great... and the standout was their Fried Chicken - perfectly seasoned and fried with a beautiful crispy coating. No wonder they are called 'Overlord Chicken' - their chicken is truly supreme with masters in the kitchen. We enjoyed the fried Taiwan Sausages too. All in all, a wonderful 1st experience here, and we would definitely return.

    This was a wonderful late(ish) night place, however, there is a lack of parking. There's street parking but that's always a hit or miss. They were completely empty when our party arrived, but that was worked out in our favor as we didn't realize how small the dine in area was. We were able to push almost all of the tables together and fit our large party of 25 people. There are so many options offered and we ordered a bunch of options to split amongst the table family style. We also got the build your own spicy hot pot which was delicious! Unfortunately, you also have to walk outside to the back of the restaurant to use their bathroom which isn't super clean, and as it was late at night, I needed someone to walk with me around the corner for safety.

    Adam M.

    + I've been following them since the Oahana Hale and McCully Shopping Center days. Great to see that they now have their own restaurant with an expanded menu including fried chicken and Mala Tang + Free street parking along Date St, or metered street parking in front of the restaurant on Kapahulu. + Build-Your-Own hot pot / Mala tang / noodles is a lot of fun. + Choose your own numbing and spicy options. The soup is always hearty and warming and flavorful even with the non-spicy or mild options. + Popcorn chicken is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. + Nice and bright and clean ambiance. + Speedy and attentive services. + Reasonable pricing

    Dumpling Soup
    The Official C.

    Overlord Fried Chicken isn't just a name, it's an attitude. If you don't know what you're looking for, you'll walk right by. Tucked into a spot with serious dive bar energy with loud flavors and great tastes, this place feels like the kind of place you stumble into at midnight and never want to leave. The kitchen here is a straight-up flavor laboratory run by mad geniuses in aprons. The fried chicken is not just fried it's baptized in flavor. Perfectly crisp on the outside, gloriously tender on the inside, and seasoned like someone dared them to go too far and thank God they did. You can go classic, get lit with the hot, or go full Overlord and let the spice obliterate your taste buds in the best way possible. Their crispy, spicy, juicy excellence comes in steaming hot with serious intentions to conquer your hunger and burn your tastebuds. But wait, it gets better. The dumpling soup here is criminally underrated. Big portions with insane flavors! This is not the place for a polite salad. This is where you roll up your sleeves, destroy a plate of wings, sip something strong and cold, and leave wondering what just happened (but in a good way). Come hungry. Leave conquered. All hail the Overlord.

    * Food poisoned* 4am in the morning and still in the toilet:( Went here around 11pm with co-wokers after a busy night of working. I ordered a comb 2 which includes a chicken sandwich, fried chicken leg, a French fries and a soda. I asked for spicy for my sandwich and fried chicken legs. After first bite of the sandwich, I realized that it's not spicy at all, so I asked the guy, are these all spicy? he said yes, and I told him it's not spicy at all. Guess what? He just ignored me and walked away. So I left no tips for him. ( I was gonna give cash after eating) Never come back again, not just because of food poisoning, but also because of bad service, and the way they handle the situation.

    Today I got to try the Choose Your Own Noodles Soup for $19.99 per pound and it was fun and tasty. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.

    I like spicy hot pot and fried chicken. I like spicy food

So many favorites! We have so many favorites it's hard to try new things here. We recently tried the honey walnut shrimp and it was good big shrimps fried perfectly with honey sauce and it's on top of potato chips so you get a little bonus of honey chips too! That was definitely a nice surprise and something different from any other restaurant. Service here is always great! We ordered and not even 5 minutes later our food was already coming out. They always come by to fill your water and check on you, They have their own men and women's bathroom located in the back which is clean. Their ac is nice and strong so nice on a hot day to enjoy good food and escape from the heat.

    Time for an update as I realized my last review of Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant dates back to…read more2014. I used to come here all the time with my coworkers for lunch, as Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant was just a hop, skip, & jump away from my office. Through the years, the business & location hasn't changed, but if I'm correct, I owners of the business have changed hands several times. I remembered the last time I came here was during Covid-19 where Golden Eagle Chinese was just doing "take-out" and no dining inside was available. Since the pandemic has passed us, everything is back to normal with the exception of different owners. This past Sunday I decided to drop by the Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant to buy some steamed fish filet for my dad. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I must say not much has changed as far as the decor of the restaurant. What I did get from Golden Eagle was fast and friendly service, and a wonderfully made dish of steamed fish filet with ginger & onion (dad approved)! If you're Jonesing for Chinese food, give Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant a try!

It's quaint inside, but again, old school, so you'll see some boxes stacked in the corner. Janey got there first and said the man working was kinda unfriendly. But I think it was more about not knowing who we were, and like I said, lots of locals that frequent. The woman working was really nice! I just let Janey order. We started with some delicious hot n sour soup. The fried rice was really good! Loved the crispy skin duck! The gau gee mein had a great assortment of vegetables! And the sauteed choy sum(?) was good! Overall, really good local Chinese food! Though the interior is nice, it was a little warm even with the AC. The setting sun was just hitting the windows and even with the filter, it was warm. Other than that, great place to come to! Mahalo Golden Eagle!

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. I was tempted to pull over and just indulge, but I remembered that I had to share it lol My summary? Good food, genuine hospitality, and a great first impression. I will definitely be back.
