    When you visit a takeout eatery named Roast Duck Kitchen - you order the roast duck. In fairness, on my initial patronage, I got the excellent roast chicken. Today, I got the Roast Duck Plate; a hefty meal and a deal at $18. You have a choice of rice, fried rice, and ( if I recall correctly ) cake noodles. Plate comes with a crispy gau gee ( think it had shrimp ) and your entreè on a bed of cabbage. The duck was good, but the star was the fried rice - very generous with the pieces of char siu. I haven't been a vegetarian since earlier in the year...and I haven't had much duck, so it was fantastic to consume. Duck ranks high on my list of favorite animal proteins: Pork, duck, then beef. They do catering, as well. Hours: 900a till 400p, Tuesday thru Sunday. Closed on Mondays. Lots of parking stalls in the Aiea Shopping Center on the corner of Moanalua Road and Aiea Heights Drive.

    Gau gee (GBD and packed w/ filling)

    After some of our group toured the Arizona Memorial, we decided to stop by RDK in Aiea Shopping Center (same center as Aiea Bowl). RDK was on my list from watching local You Tubers, Amanda & Felix. Unfortunately, they ran out of duck and char siu when we arrived early afternoon. Nonetheless, they still had hainan chicken, roast pork (not pictured) and gau gee. The chicken was perfectly poached, and sauce had a ton of ginger & garlic. Secondarily, the pork was tender and the skin was crispy. The only downside was no hoisin sauce. Lastly, the gau gee were packed full of flavorful fillings. My past experience with other places is that you are searching for meat. The lady in front was super nice, and the food came out quickly. There is no inside seating. However, there are tables located throughout the complex to enjoy your food. I'd like to return earlier in the day to try the duck and char siu. I've heard positive things about those items.

    Roast Duck Plate

    The duck plate lunch was so good! Duck was so tender and the sauce was savory. Gauge was crispy and so tasty. I highly recommend this location. Didn't wait long for food and they also gave large portions! No seating area inside the restaurant but there is seating around it right in the shopping center. Located on the second floor right by the escalators. Seating area was shaded, but limited.

    Family was craving some Chinese BBQ and found this place. On the 2nd floor of the plaza. Takeout only. Can order meat by the pound or as a rice plate. Can see the roast pork, duck, chicken on display walking in. I got the lunch to go option which includes choice of meat and choice of rice with one gaugee. I got the roast pork and fried rice. Big portion. Fried rice was also made with the roast pork to give it some flavor. Not the best roast pork I've had but wasn't bad. I also got half a duck and half pound of roast pork. The duck had a juicy and tender meat. Good skin and goes well with the duck sauce they give. The roast pork had crispy skin but the pork it self was tough and dry. Low fat to meat ratio. Decent Chinese bbq place and does get busy with people waiting outside. No seatings here but plenty of parking.

    1 lb charsui

    A hidden gem! Well known in the Aiea community for its fresh meats! This place is a grab & go so there's no seating. Their menu is simple with fresh roasted pork, chicken, charsui, and duck. You can get it by weight or with rice or noodles as a plate. We opted for 1lb of charsui, 1/2lb roast pork. Both were super fresh, so fresh we had to wait for our order to be made. We also got their crispy gau gee which we devoured before we could even get a picture! It was super hot & fresh, crispy on the outside and filled with pork filling that wasn't too salty. The charsui was definitely a favorite. Super juicy and flavorful with barely any fatty pieces. My hubby was very impressed! The roast pork was also juicy and tender with the crispy top. Again, not too much gelatinous pieces. Overall, we will be back to try their cake noodles!

    Lunch special with roast chicken and fried rice
    Michelle L.

    Excellent meats! The roasted chicken, pork, duck were all tasty. I think the roasted pork was my favorite but not the best for you. Roast duck and chicken were also very tender. They have lunch meals for $17-18.50. We got the roast chicken with crusty cake noodles. I think we didn't strategize on how to pour the sauce over the noodles or just wanted more sauce to help soften the noodles. Crispy gaugee came with the meals but you can order a separate order of them too. Great take out place. They're pretty busy but the orders came out quickly.

    1/2lb Roast duck (comes w/one piece gau gee) and 1lb Roast pork

    Roast duck kitchen never disappoints! Best place to pick up some goods when you need to bring a dish to a gathering.

    The BEST roast duck and roast pork EVER!! Fast and friendly people! Nice area to wait!

    half roast duck - $20
    Heidi H.

    I was in the area and ordered half a roast duck - $20 and half pound roast pork - $10 worth. Both tasty and juicy. It was kind of hard to place my order since the woman at the counter was on the phone for awhile. Finally another person was able to take my order. It took a while for my order to be made eventhough no one was in front of me. I was the only one standing in line. The woman was still on the phone and moved toward the window. A woman and young girl came in after I placed my order and they told me to wait outside. The woman did not know what to order and asked a lot of questions. After it looked like she she ordered she moved closer to the door. They did not ask her to wait outside so I poked my head in and waited a few seconds by the door and my order was ready. So back to the parking lot.

    It says they deliver, but I don't see a website? Is it through an app?

    They deliver through Grubhub

    If I ordered food the day before, do I still need to stand in that ridiculous line?

    Not at all, just go to the front and let the person next know you've got a pick up order- they should let you right in for your pick up time.

    If you're just looking for the cliff notes the food is good but a bit pricy…read more With that out of the way I decided to try this place after seeing the sign and checking out the yelp pics. I was surprised to see the place pretty empty on a Friday night around 7. I went to the bar to order take out and the guy working was really nice and took my takeout order. I will say it smelled amazing in the restaurant. Food took about 10 mins to come out. The catfish was great, two pretty big pieces very well seasoned. The Mac and Cheese and Yams was also pretty good. I will say the Mac tasted better than it looked and I only say that because at first glance it didn't seem to have much cheese but I was wrong. The corn bread tasted good but was dry. I warmed it and added some butter and that didn't trick. The only thing I personally wasn't a fan of was the greens. They weren't necessarily bad but like Keith Lee says I don't know if I'm their target audience. They tasted a bit sweet and there was something else in the seasoning that I wasn't a huge fan of but couldn't quite put my finger on. I almost forgot the plate came with "yellow seasoned rice" which is under the fish on the Mac side. Honestly it's a free inclusion so not super fair to judge it. Everything in the picture was about $47 bucks. In my opinion that's a bit high and I'm guessing that's because it's in Waikīkī. I definitely plan to go back especially to try the Happy Hour, and I'd like to dine in to see how that goes.

I believe that they worker said, "I appreciate you!" Wow! That's very nice of him! We took the plate home (it was too windy to sit alongside the busy sidewalk) and discussed the tasty ribs, sweet (molasses?) Baked beans and yummy green beans with smoked turkey. Mmm! I would return and get the catfish plate, Po Boy sandwich, and walking tacos!

    I'm extremely disappointed because this was supposed to be a special dinner for my birthday…read morecelebration with five of my friends. We chose this restaurant specifically because I called 2-3 weeks ahead of time to ask about the fryers. I have a food allergy and was assured that seafood was cooked in a separate fryer, so I would be able to safely enjoy the fried items. One of my friends even called separately and was given the same information. When we arrived, I reminded our server about my allergy and told him what I had been told. He reassured me that they would take care of me. I ordered onion rings and was SO excited. Unfortunately, he later came back and told me the kitchen said there was actually no way to safely prepare fried food because everything was fried together. I was devastated. We had planned dinner here specifically so I could enjoy things like onion rings and fries. Thankfully, my friends spoke with the manager, who offered to have my chicken fried steak pan-fried using fresh oil. I shared it with a friend along with mashed potatoes and green beans, and the food itself was delicious. Unfortunately, later that evening I began showing signs of an allergic reaction and ultimately had to leave the dancing portion of my birthday celebration early. By the time I got home, I was in significant pain and seriously considered going to the hospital. I have no way of knowing exactly where the cross-contamination occurred, but the bottom line is that my allergy was communicated to the restaurant repeatedly -- by me when I arrived, by our server, by the kitchen, and by the manager -- and I still had a reaction. Our server was kind and attentive, although understandably a little flustered at times since we learned it was his first night. This is not a criticism of him personally. He actually was great. I had previously left this location a 4-star review after another visit and included several photos from that experience. I have removed that review and replaced it with this one because when it comes to food allergy safety, I don't think there is room for flexibility or uncertainty. I don't want my previous review giving anyone with food allergies the wrong impression. If you have a food allergy, I would not recommend eating here.

    Banana Pudding: 0/5…read more I was grabbing breakfast nearby at the Koa Pancake House but I've seen that this place had banana pudding on their menu. So I swung by on my way out to the parking lot for a sweet treat for later. I have to say this is probably one of the worst banana puddings I've ever had. It's one of my favorite desserts so I've had plenty from all over the country. If it's on the menu, there's a 90% chance I'm going to buy it. Their's tastes artificial. The pudding was reminiscent of a snack pack, but something about it made it taste worse. I don't know if it was additional sugar or how long I had been sitting in their fridge, but the pudding was pretty bad. There's maybe three or four nilla wafers on the bottom and one on the top for presentation. For the few wafers on the bottom, there was a slice of banana on top. Potentially totaling maybe three slices. For those slices, though, the banana was not ripe. You could tell the banana slices needed a few more days before use. Overall, I was wildly disappointed. I would highly not recommend their banana pudding, which is such a shame. I wished I loved it but sadly 0/5. The best part of the whole pudding was the 4 soft wafers. If that's the case, that should tell you something.
