This chinese restaurant was surprisingly good. Stopped in with family since my niece had a performance at the high school nearby. The s&p pork chop, charsiu fried rice, steamed fish, beef brocolli with cake noodles were delicious. Friendly and fast service. Typical Chinese restaurant atmosphere. read more

I stopped by for take out this afternoon around 330 pm. The restaurant was empty and the floor was being mopped, which I don't think I've ever seen happen in a Chinese restaurant. Their menus are printed on paper and reused, which is noticeable because of the worn paper and stains. I asked if I could still order a "lunch" plate and the waitress said I could. I added an order of crispy gau gee. My food was ready in about 15 minutes, everything came out hot. The food container had gravy on the outside and the paper bag for the gau gee was very oily, but it was contained in a separate bag, so that wasn't a problem. Their food didn't really have a much flavor as I was hoping for. The crispy won ton had barely any filling. The spare ribs had mostly bones and fat, the kau yuk was tough, and the noodles were decent. The gau gee was okay, not great or horrible. For the price, there are better options. However, for the area, this is a decent choice. read more

I really wanted to like Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant, but it's been a major letdown. The food is pretty mediocre overall, and most dishes come out on the saltier side. What's even more upsetting is that the prices keep increasing while the portion sizes seem to get smaller each time. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Bittermelon with Pork and was charged $21. For that price, I could've easily gotten two two-choice plates from Panda Express. At this point, I'd only recommend this place as a last option for Chinese food. read more

Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant - Not worth it! Paid $21 for this Bittermelon with Pork in small container. - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We had a family dinner here on a Sunday night. I've never been here before and my uncle suggested it. We got here around 5pm and it wasn't too busy. We got sat right away. The prices are on par with most of the Chinese restaurants on the island. The food was good and authentic. The workers spoke Chinese. We ordered entrees to share. My son ordered the oxtail soup $24.95 for himself. Everyone else shared the seafood tofu fish maw soup $19.95. We got the scallops with mixed veggies $22.95, salted fish and chicken fried rice $16.95, general tso chicken $15.95, pepper salt shrimp $17.95, fish fillet steamed with ginger onion $17.95 and stuffed duck $18.95. While the food was good, no dish really stood out. The fried rice had wok hei and the pepper salt shrimp had great flavor. I mostly ate that. It's not my first choice for Chinese restaurants, but it does the job for the Salt Lake area. read more

The food was SOOO DELICIOUS, our favorite was the Mongolian beef, but everything we ordered was fantastic. The pepper salt garlic chicken was great, been here on island and had not found Chinese food this great. Will definitely come again. The aunty was kind and very welcoming. read more

Sunday night dinner with fam. Surprisingly, they could accommodate our group of 9 (during Chinese New Year weekend) and reserved a whole duck for us too. Lots of parking and restaurant was not packed at 6:30pm. Food came out timely and we enjoyed all the dishes. Staff was attentive and even packed our leftovers. Good neighborhood Chinese Restaurant... would come back. read more

Stopped by Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant. Saw they served a limited dim sum menu every day and wanted to check it out. We were greeted immediately and seated. We were given ice water and hot tea while looking at the menu. We ordered the siu mai which would take 20 minutes so we also ordered gon lo mein, walnut shrimp and capital pork chops to tide us over while the siu mai was steamed. It was pretty empty in the restaurant since it was only around 10:30am, but the place had preset plates with napkins and forks on every table indicating it probably gets pretty busy. As neighborhood Chinese restaurant, it has quite a few military family customers as mil. housing is just across Salt Lake Blvd. We asked for chopsticks. All the dishes came out fairly quick and were all delicious. The Shrimp was plump and not overcooked, the pork chops were flavorful and extra crispy, and the noodles were also flavored well, although we prefer thinner egg noodles (mein) than what they serve. The noodles had both a good portion of char siu and chicken along with vegetables. We were hungry and got full on these dishes so by the time the siu mai arrived steaming hot, we decided to home after sampling one of the 6 pieces in the order. It was a fairly large piece so we split it in half to cool it off. It was juicy and the filling was fairly bouncy with some large pieces of pork. It was hard to get the full flavor because it was so hot, but we later tried it at home and it was good but a bit too salty for our taste. Overall, we loved it there and will definitely go back. read more

This has slowly become a really good Chinese restaurant that can rival Wah Kung. I think they hired a new cook or something because they have dim sum and other things that they never had before. In addition, their vegetable fried rice is killer and not only that, their other dishes are really tasty. I mean, I don't want to ruin the "good Chinese 3.5 star" but this place has come a long way. It's close to me and always provides good Chinese food that is easily as good as any other place now. I like it and I have gone many times since my last review. read more

Standard fare. Ordered dried scallop egg soup, 4/5, oyster sauce cake noodles 3/5. Was good but salty. Had more flavor and body than others. Didn't taste a lot of corn starch. And was salty. We ended up asking for a lot of water. Be aware there is a 3.5% surcharge for credit cards, and don't accept debit cards. read more

Close but not close enough. On the hunt for an old school neighborhood chop suey house eats. This place has been around for decades and more importantly when you place a phone order, the lady with the strong accent keeps saying "and then, and then, and then", IYKYK, this might be a winner. Comparing apples with apples, the "dinner plate": -- Kau yuk - Glistening, bright red. Made from pork belly with the right amount of fat. Nam yue (fermented bean curd) used. Good star anise flavor. Old school for sure. -- Sweet sour spare ribs - Meaty. Just sweet. Could use more vinegar for balance. -- House fried rice - Very oily but well seasoned and has wok hei. Lemon chicken - Pass. Chunks of chicken coated in a heavy batter, deep fried, tossed in a very sour, artificial tasting lemon sauce. At least it's highlighter yellow. Mu shu pork - Surprisingly good. Big chunks of tender, Chinese wine marinated pork, mushrooms, cabbage stir fried with good wok hei. Roll your own with the provided hoisin sauce in house made wrappers. Good eats. Inexpensive. Dishes average $15. Three percent service fee for all credit cards. Debit cards not accepted. Everything you expect from the old time neighborhood spot except missing the mark on flavor for the most standard of items. read more

Amazing food! Very quick service too. The prices for everything were reasonable, and it was perfect for a takeout movie night. Will be back!

Salt Lane Chinese restaurant is located at the ASalt Lake shopping center inbetween Longs Drugs and Safeway. One of my coworkers ordered a $40 pan of their beef chow funn for a work lunch potluck and it was really good. Not many restaurants use the freshly made chow funn noodles but they have that here. It was a hit and the noodles went out really quickly! A good place to go if you need a quick pot luck dish or pan. read more

We ordered a pre set menu. I didn't really enjoy anything. The duck didn't taste as good as other places, the noodles were probably the dish I liked the best. Even the shrimp was just mediocre. read more

I used to go to this place all the time when I was in high school. I was first introduced to this restaurant on a date lol and I have nothing bad to say about it til this day. It's typical Chinese restaurant with round tables and the lazy Susan but there's also smaller tables for smaller parties. Their oyster sauce chicken on cake noodle is and the stuffed eggplant is so delicious! Definitely try different things on the menu. They don't disappoint read more

Worst chow mein I've ever had. Noodles blah. Plus they put shrimp in when I ordered without. Awesome, now the shrimpy flavor is stir fried with everything else. I should known when I saw the red flag: forks on the tables with no chopsticks in sight. read more

Traditional Chinese restaurants plenty of tables setup for family style meal. Service is good and fast. I had take out this time and the house special fridge is always good along with the Salt & Pepper shrimp. I also had beef & broccoli which was not as good this time, it lacked the usual flavor sauce was more greyish than brown. read more

I can't recall the last time I gave a 2-star rating, and because I know how this can negatively affect any business, I do my best to carefully examine my reason(s). Located in the Salt Lake Shopping Center, this restaurant is in walking distance from our residence. Plenty of parking, but during the lunch hour it can get a little crazy with customers shopping at other shops that might normally be closed in the evening. On the recommendation from friends, we decided to try it out. A group of us went in for a midweek dinner and a couple of tables were already occupied. We were quickly seated and decided to order family style choosing about 4 main dishes a couple of sides. Service was good, but the entrees came out one a time with varying time gaps in-between. I would have preferred to have all the entrees available to me so I could sample them on my plate at the same time instead of finishing one entree and then having to wait for the next one to come out. Another faux pas was the server forgot about our rice until we reminded her, so we didn't get that until nearly the end of our meal. After dinner, my wife and I discussed our experience and we both agreed that the dishes seemed to taste the same. Nothing stood out and they seemed under seasoned. I found the beef in the beef broccoli to be tough to chew, and the kung pao chicken was light on chicken. I did enjoy the hot tea. The restaurant seemed to be busier with takeout orders than eat-in customers. Perhaps that's where they shine. Unfortunately, I don't intend to find out and am scratching this one off the list. read more

We got take out. This place was recommended for the cake noodles but we were disappointed because the gravy was very watery and had no flavor. Sorry we won't be back. The gau gee was good though. read more

This restaurant is clean and air conditioned. The staff is very friendly. They have some of the best crispy roast pork I have tried. They start cooking it when you order so it hasn't been sitting under a heat lamp. I love their crispy gau gee too It is a nice size and not greasy at all. read more

I ordered the go lon mein to try it out for a party. it was too salty, burnt & not much vegetables. Other dishes are good. I would just avoid this one. read more

It was okay. The food tasted good and a lot of noodles. I was surprised how full the container was.

Hot sour soup is the best Great customer service! Perfect food and perfect orders. Friendly staff!

Decent Chinese place. Convenient to where we live. Basics are great-fried rice (any variation) and so on. Also like the Crispy Gau Gee Min, and most of the veggie dishes. Shrimp chips are the best around. Some of the meat dishes can be a little too oily or chewy on occasion. But we have also had decent versions at times. Guess it just depends who is cooking it. Just seems like, aside from the shrimp chips, they really don't have a signature dish. But they have all the staples. Prices are little high, but meh...whatever. They are fast. Service is good enough. Overall worth it for the location ease and speed. read more

I always return for take out orders of my dad's favorite- Minute Chicken Cake Noodle. It's a large & tasty serving for $19 and some change. Photo is minus a bowlful that I gave my dad and there's still all that left. The restaurant is conveniently located at Salt Lake shopping center between Safeway & Longs. It is dated, right out of the out of the 70s, but clean. You don't get the warmest reception but they are organized and efficient. read more

Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant - Minute Chicken Cake Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I last ate food from this location almost a decade ago and very surprised that quality is drastically underwhelming. Six adults each selected an entree and chose take out. All entrees were ready for pick up at given time. This was the nearest Chinese restaurant to family home. Oyster Sauce Chicken Chow Mein: Chicken tasted dry even with bones intact and oyster sauce. Consistency of chow mein tasted fine. I regret choosing this dish for us to share. Deep Fried Shrimp w/ Pineapples: I was surprised that no one noticed pineapples were missing. Sauce for the shrimp was on the runny side and tasted lighter. Cutting corners on ingredients. I'm used to having a thicker red sauce to pour over fried shrimp. First and consecutive bites clearly revealed batter tasted plain, thick, and shrimp size was smaller. Disappointed. Sweet and Sour Pork: Missing green bell peppers. Replaced with orange bell peppers which changed the taste of sauce. Fried pork was on par. Not enjoyable. Kau Yuk: Pieces were tender and well marinated. My husband enjoyed it. This time was carb less. That's ok. If I had my way, prefer 1:1 ratio of kau yuk with steamed bun. Shrimp with Honey Glazed Walnuts: Shrimp cooked to perfection. Barely tasted honey. Shrimp chip topping didn't do justice to bring out flavors. Beef w/ Sour Cabbage: Beef was super tender and easy to chew. Way more cabbage than beef. Deliciousness of the beef went well with taste and texture of sour cabbage. I enjoyed the taste of this entree. Hot mustard with soy sauce: Non existent. Dipping sauce tasted like a mixture of shoyu and vinegar. I suggested we order in Aiea area for next Chinese New Year family dinner. Two other adults agreed. read more

The food is delicious and plenty. Be back for more. I love the food here. Quick service and great food.

Favorite thing was the crispy gau gee! Lots of meat inside! Especially with the hot mustard sauce. Honey walnut shrimp was pretty good, it was a bit different. The shrimp wasn't actually fried like other Chinese restaurants. I would pass on the char siu fried rice. It was really bland. I would also pass on the orange chicken. The sauce was more like a red sweet & sour sauce. NOT orange sauce at all. It was also dry & overcooked. read more

Too watery the soft gau gi min. And lacked salt. It was like a soup and barely had noodles inside..

Dang!... Haven't ordered anything in awhile and got floored at the prices gone to the moon! Since, its been a minute, their menu gotten a bit better with additions they made to the menu... Such as: Crispy roast pork, pork hash(dim sum), manapua(car siu bao), fried chicken wings and whole roasted duck(hong kong style). Would give stars across the board, but have never tried wvery new item and don't have the $$$ to do so at the moment. read more

For some crazy reason we always end up ordering way to much food when comes to dining in Chinese restaurants. Chinese is always a easy choice when you want a big meal and so many choices. We often order take out here but tonight we decided to dine it. This place is pretty good and big enough to have a family gathering. This is probably one of the few Chinese restaurants in salt lake that I know of. Everything we ordered was really good and tasty. I'm not really a fan of pecking duck but for some reason it really hit the spot tonight. What I really like about this place is that there really fast in cooking and serving our food right away. read more

Located in the Salt Lake Shopping Center! We had a get together there about 30 persons, everyone must show vaccinations cards and ID before getting seated. The salt & pepper seafood came out first it was tasty and crispy I would recommend this dish. Next the scallop soup came out it was ok not that flavorful lack the taste of scallops. Next the roast duck was very good and tasty I would order this again. The walnut shrimp came out and it was ok not that tasty. The capital pork chop was very tuff, pieces were large instead of bite size pieces could have used knifes it was very hard to eat and the sauce was very sweet I would not recommend this dish. Next the Seafood cake noodles which was very good , came out hot and the noodles were crispy just right sometimes they make it overly crispy and the noodles are to hard, I would order this. The last dish was the Mushroom and vegetables this was prefect nice and crispy and sauce was tasty. Mask required with entering and while leaving the table, all staff wore mask. Parking is limited because they share the parking with many other shops and stores. read more
