    I've been here a few times and have always liked everything I've ordered. The food tastes authentic and the chef/owner is pretty friendly. This spot is definitely worth checking out!

    I ate here for the first time and how did I not know this place existed? It is located on the ground floor of the Chinese Cultural Plaza so parking is easy. This place is great if you need a small private meeting room off to the side. The food here was all so amazing! The owner Brian was such a delight! He came to talk story with us, he's so funny and friendly! and such a talented chef! We ordered - signature popcorn chicken w crisp fried basil this is a must order, so tasty! This is amazing. - Ong Choy and green beans. Must i say the best green beans i have ever tasted? -Black Bean Ox Tail Very good ox tail, nice and tender and the flavor is so good. - Pineapple Shrimp Tastes like honey walnut shrimp using pineapple. This was great! - Dragon Dumplings and Fried Pan Dumplings, we all loved the dumplings -Beef Noodle Soup So good, we got a couple of bowls to share. This place is a must try. BYOB, They have a website to do takeout orders as well. I can't wait to go back to try more dishes, we already planned our next visit here!

    Super friendly and quick service! Came in to try their most popular items: popcorn chicken and combination beef and tendon noodle soup. Love that they let use choose spice level for each item. Tendon was so soft and buttery! Beef fell apart in my mouth and noodles were perfect chew. Need to come back to try more!

    Great homey spot with Taiwanese food that invites deep love and appreciation for the motherland. Popcorn chicken and pineapple shrimp were standouts for me. The chicken was crispy, well seasoned, and plentiful. Pineapple shrimp had me joining the cream team and still had a great crunch even though it was in the sauce. The beef noodle soup was alright, the spicier one was better. Also had to catch a flick with mister boss man, he was funny, entertaining, and kept the good vibes coming.

    ATTENTION SPICY NOODLE SOUP LOVERS -- This place is a MUST for you! I've visited many many Asian restaurants that have spicy noodle soups (ramen, mala tang, whatever it may be), but this place by far as the BEST and the SPICIEST noodle soups I've ever had. I personally love mala, so I ordered level 3 mala beef noodle soup and holy crap, it was SPICY. I was originally going to order level 5 but the owner warned me... which I'm so thankful for because level 5 would have killed me. I think level 2 would have been more of a comfortable spicy, but level 3 was doable. The popcorn chicken was also out of this world. I didn't understand why a popcorn chicken would be so popular at a Taiwanese restaurant, but it's definitely different than a regular American popcorn chicken. So happy we ordered it! The owner and server were also so friendly and kind. Happy to support their local business! Chinatown definitely has some of the most delicious restaurants on the island but this place is in my top 5.

    Finding this spot based on the address is a bit of a challenge. Ultimately, we parked in the ramp and walked through the mall. Unfortunately, the mall appeared to be mostly deserted. We opted for the popcorn chicken (med spice) with pork covered rice and an order of pan fried dumplings. The chicken was crispy, crunchy, and flavorful. I loved the flavor of the pork with the rice - it was a welcome addition! As expected, the dumplings were very green onion/chive forward. I recommend requesting the rice vinegar, garlic sauce, and chili oil. Be warned, you will have the taste of garlic in your mouth for the rest of the day but I think it's worth it. The food was piping hot and came out quickly. Definitely recommend!

    I was craving Taiwanese food while in Oahu for the week and came a ross Seasons on Yelp! I wish I had more appetite and time to try more things, but we stopped by for a quick lunch while in the area. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The popcorn chicken is unique to Taiwan, vastly different from other versions around the world, and the rice with pork sauce goes very well with it. Beware of the spice, we were going between 2/5 and 3/5 and were glad we decided for 2/5 -- we like spicy food and that was plenty. The pork dumplings were so good!! Simple yet delicious filling, thin wrapper to make them less chewy, and nice and crispy on the bottom. Make sure you ask for rice vinegar, chili oil, and garlic sauce to make yourself the perfect dipping sauce for them. It will be on my rotation to visit again when I'm back in Oahu and I will make sure to bring my best appetite to try more things. It is a locally owned restaurant with reduced staff and limited seating, so be patient and enjoy the food! With that said, at 2pm on a weekday, we found seating right away and service was lightning fast! Food was freshly made to order and came out really fast as well.

    What a awesome surprise to come and have a variety of Taiwaneses food. Highlight: popcorn chicken - beef & tendon noodle soup. Everything we had was fantastic but both these items are outstanding. Popcorn chicken served w/ fried basil was so good - lots of flavor and crunchy perfectly fried and not greasy. Loved the spices they use. The beef & tendon noodle soup was flavorful and well balanced good noodles too. Restaurant is located at the Chinese cultural center in Honolulu - there is parking ( no validation) - on the ground floor. Restaurant is clean and updated and staff helpful and friendly. Food comes out quickly and at perfect serving temperature. We hope to return soon as they have a variety of dishes we want to try. A perfect opportunity to try Taiwanese food and shouldn't be missed!

    Small Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, level 3 spice
    Carrie G.

    Went here for dinner with the girls and we enjoyed everything we ordered and can't wait to return and try more things. The popcorn chicken can be made spicy or mild. We ordered a level 3 out of 5 and it was definitely on the spicier side! I can handle spice and noticed instead of a heat in my mouth it was more like a numbing spice if that makes sense?! This dish is so tasty and we loved the fried basil. The spicy eggplant dish is served cold and has a spicy sauce. It was tasty and different but I'd skip it next time since I'm not a fan of cold eggplant. Their pan fried dumplings were tasty. We loved the garlic sauce it's served with. It's packed with fresh pungent garlic! Next time I want to try a noodle dish instead of this. The sleeper hit was the egg crepe which had a crispy flakey crust and green onions inside. I'd order this again! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture. The service was excellent, the staff were very friendly and we were the last people in there and they didn't rush us out (we rushed ourselves out!). Restaurant is very clean. Look for it on the river side of the Chinese cultural plaza across from the OG Legends.

    I so wanted to like this place the decor was nice service was nice got some take out beef soup noodles were good dumplings ok but the sweet n sour fish was a disappointment in taste and portion take a look at my pics - wow I have never been served that portion before .....but at least the noodles were decent.

    My previous 2-star experience was right before the ownership change. The new owners even reached out for me to try them again. It just took 7 years but I made it! Since that time, Seasons Taiwanese Eatery has moved to a new location within the Chinatown Cultural Plaza, taking over the previous location of Legend Vegetarian Restaurant and Pho 88, right across from Legend Seafood Restaurant, near River St. The inside is bright, clean, and spacious. More comfortable than the previous location. I've heard friends talk about how they had a hard time handling the mid to low spice level of the noodle soup at Seasons, which was odd to me as I never associate Taiwanese food with being spicy. But I'm always up to challenge my spice tolerance! The menu is pretty similar to the previous location. There's a decent variety of appetizers, noodle soups, and rice dishes. I like they offer a two choice combo on certain appetizers, so you can try more. I had the Braised Pork Intestines and Beef Tendon. Seemed like both were put on the plate and reheated cause it came out hot, and it had a type of minced pork sauce topping that had a slight sour taste. The intestines were okay. Tender and bland, but a little bit too much fat still attached inside. The tendons were slightly better. A bit more flavor, but not as tender. Not sure, but reheating them together and adding the same sauce on top kind of just melded the dish together and everything just tasted the same and less appetizing. Next was the Chef's Spicy Ma-La Beef Noodle Soup - Level 3 Spice. I was warned by the server that level 3 is "quite" spicy. I'm good. Thanks! Level 3 spice was exactly how a level 3 spice level should be--mid. It does hit you, but not too much where your nose is running, eyes watering, and dying for water. Unfortunately, that was it. Just spice. The broth had no depth of flavor, no richness, no beefiness, no aromatics. Just the chili pepper/chili oil spice. The beef shank was thick cut and tender, but it didn't get any flavor or taste in the meat. And the "Ma"/numbing part was minimal. The sour cabbage nicely balanced out the spice. Overall, I love their spice levels. This is how it should be! I wish all other restaurants would follow it. The Level 3 was perfect mid-level spiciness. I'm a bit curious on the Level 5, but we'll see. The food could have been better. The noodle soup didn't get hit the mark for me. It didn't have the depth of flavors and aromatics. Spicy is just spicy taste. The service was good. Food came out quick. Comfortable place to eat.

    My two friends and I visited Seasons Taiwanese Eatery on Thursday for a late lunch on 9/4/25. Seasons is a bright and cool restaurant. One of my friends always frequents this restaurant and invited my other friend and I to have lunch here. We were greeted warmly by Brian, the owner, who was very hospitable. We were seated and met four other companions who enjoy Taiwanese fare, as well. We ordered our soft drink, and teas and had water brought to us as well. We were excited to eat the assortment of dishes that were prepared for us. Our table had an abundance of delicacies that we shared with one another. Here is a list of what we had: Popcorn Chicken, Fried Chicken Wings, Braised Pork Belly, Fried Green Beans, Eggplant with Chili Sauce, Dragon Dumplings, Boiled Dumplings, Spicy Cucumbers, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Braised Tofu, Black Pepper Oxtail, Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and Beef Noodle Soup, and Egg fish. We also had extra spices and a special garlic sauce as our condiments. Everything was so flavorful. I enjoyed everything. There were various textures, spiciness, coolness, crunchiness, and smoothness that enhanced the different meats, seafood, and vegetables. The noodles were nice and chewy and the broth for the soups were delicately balanced. After finishing our meal, everyone at our table felt completely satisfied. Some of us even packed up leftovers to enjoy later. It was truly a meal to remember! The service was outstanding, and Brian was not only an excellent host but also kept our group entertained throughout. We'll definitely be returning to Seasons Taiwanese Eatery soon, and I highly recommend trying their delicious Taiwanese dishes.

    See all

    Seasons Taiwanese Eatery Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Seasons Taiwanese Eatery

    Do you homemade the wrappers (skins) for your dumplings? Homemade wrappers really make the dumplings more flavorful.

    unfortunately, we do not. We get them fresh from the factory. We found that factory made ones are better suited for our purpose. Flavourful and consistency is what we are aiming for.

    Do they take lunch reservations?

    For party of 5 or more. We recommend that you make reservation for lunch and dinner.

    I see reviewers mention that the beef noodle soup here is Szechuan style, but others say Taiwanese. The two are clearly different, so is the flavor more Szechuan or Taiwanese?

    How many of the Taiwanese pork sausage comes in a order? Is it like the picture i see on DoorDash with 5 sausages?

    It's actually by the weight. We cut them up for you into slices.

    How many eggs are in one side order of braised eggs?

    1 egg per order

    Is this business still open? It's been closed for the past week and there's no sign indiciating if / when it will reopen.

    Sorry for the inconvenience past week. We had some family emergencies and weren't able to be open. We are back to full operating now. Thank you

    Do you guys no longer have the crepe and the pouches that had the beef and bean sprouts with the sugar/peanut?

    Unfortunately, at this current time, we longer serve those two items. We hope we can bring them in the future.

    Are there any vegetarian dishes?

    We currently do have a couple of dishes that vegetarian can enjoy, such as the fried tofu, stir fried green beans and stir fry cabbage. We are looking to expand on our vegetarian dishes by the beginning of next year.

    Bo's Kitchen is a mom-and-pop Cantonese restaurant with other Asian favorites like laksa,…read morejajangmyeon, and Japanese curry, to name a few. This is my first time trying their food, and I have a lot of positive thoughts regarding their dishes. Their beef brisket noodle was one of my all-time favorites compared to other locations, because they are generous with the amount of brisket they give you and they use egg noodles by default. Their soup was okay, but the braised and marinated meat was definitely the highlight of this dish. Overall, a great late night evening option in town for Cantonese comfort food, even among those coming from China; I think that speaks volumes about the authenticity of their food and quality. Highly recommend and would love to return to try their laksa in the future.

    All I can say about eating at the - "Fun Station" is that it's more fun when eating with a friend,…read more& getting a 20% discount.........well, that's just an extra bonus! So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono! Overall, a very satisfying meal and the service here was on point, as the staff was friendly & very efficient. Easy 5 stars for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles! Chance 'em!

Perfectly tender with an incredible ginger sauce that I'd happily put on just about anything. Even the dishes I normally avoid won me over. I've never been much of a lotus root person, but theirs was crisp, savory and honestly delicious. The wontons were another highlight. Since we skipped the noodles, they generously gave us extra wontons instead, which was a really thoughtful touch. What really pushed this place from good to memorable, though, was the staff. We were there with our two and four year old and they couldn't have been kinder. They brought over little toys to keep the kids occupied, checked on us throughout the meal and made us feel genuinely welcome. None of it felt forced. It was just warm, thoughtful hospitality and that's something I always remember long after I've forgotten exactly what I ate. The bathroom situation isn't ideal, you have to use the one outside the restaurant, but that's really my only complaint beyond the slightly salty chow fun. This isn't the place I'd recommend for date night or a long evening out. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant you walk into expecting very little, then leave thinking, that was a lot better than it had any right to be. We'll definitely be back.

    Came to Jagalchi on a Friday night closer to 7pm without reservations for a party of 7. We had to…read morewait around 15 minutes for a table. They have free parking in the small lot right outside their restaurant, but there is also paid parking across the street. We were lucky, and people were leaving as we got there. For 7 of us, we got the rabokki, meat jun, half order of bossam, and kimchee pancake. This was more than enough food for everyone, and we probably would have skipped the kimchee pancake next time. The food was really good, and I would definitely recommend the bossam if you're with a group. The meat is super soft and flavorful, and even the half order was a generous portion. We also ordered the lemon soju and yogurt soju pitchers. They have tablets for you to order the food, which was super convenient. The food comes out pretty quickly, and the service is friendly. Overall, would recommend here for good Korean food and fun vibes.

The restaurant gives off Korean pub vibes, decently sized, and best suited for smaller groups. We ordered a variety of food: chicken combo, kimbap, bulgogi, bossam, and spicy rice cakes. The food was very delicious. My favorite was the bulgogi because it was tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the spicy rice cakes, but I wish they gave a bigger portion of it.. The chicken was okay, but not something I'd order again. The spicy sauce was drenched all over the chicken and was very spicy. The regular crispy chicken didn't have enough salt for me and was overcooked.

Being able to watch them make the noodles in the back, combined with the incredible smell throughout the restaurant, made the whole experience even better. I ordered the curry udon, while my wife got the creamy broth, and we also shared the tempura shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious. Honestly, this was probably our best food stop on the island. I'll be thinking about this restaurant for a long time. Where we're from, there's nothing even close to a place like this. If you're visiting the island, this is definitely a spot you need to try!

    Where do I even begin?!?! This place is an absolute gem!!! Marugame Udon offers some of the…read morefreshest and finest- handmade Sanuki udon on the island! Their noodles are made in-house (following authentic Sanuki traditions from Japan) and cooked daily. Customers order their noodles at the counter, pick their tempura from a self-serve station, and pay at the end. What's even more impressive- patrons can watch the chefs make the food right in front of them (making for a cool dining experience). Highly recommend getting there early- lines are insane! But for the most part, the line moves fast because meals are dished out quickly and guests eat and leave in a timely manner. And prices are relatively low compared to other places. I ordered the #2 Creamy Broth- creamy chicken broth topped with juicy pork chashu and a flavorful seasoned egg 10/10! This was absolute fire!!! My wife ordered the Chicken Katsu- lightly battered, well seasoned and packed with flavor. We also ordered a side of Shrimp Tempura and Potato Croquettes. Both were equally delicious, but the potato croquettes hit the spot with a well seasoned potato mash, encased in a golden deep fried breadcrumb 10/10! It's an absolute must!

Parking is available in the garage beneath or if you're lucky you can find street parking along the side. We had a reservation at 5pm and were seated immediately at our scheduled time. There were so many people waiting outside so I already had high expectations for this place. Once seated, we were greeted right away with hot towels and water. We got our sides and our sesame shortly after and I opted for the dish that had 1 of everything of oyster, shrimp tempura, onion, pork loin, and chicken. You also get to choose what kind of rice and soup you want. I went with shiso rice and regular miso tofu soup. I figure I might as well go big! Our food arrived and the first bite had me immediately hooked. The tonkatsu is so airy and didn't feel heavy at all. The rice was nice and fluffy, you can tell they use the good rice. I was never a big fan of tonkatsu but this place changed my mind. I already can't wait for my next time back. Pro tip: MAKE A RESERVATION!!

That's how much I love Kamitoku. How revolutionary is it to use beef ramen broth (Beefy Wild) as shabu shabu broth. What genius came up with that?? The meat is also thick (unlike OTHER chain shabu shabu places that rhyme with Kabuya) and fills you up quickly (even in the set meals). I usually get the $17 eye round set that comes with meat, broth, veggies, and ramen noodles. I love the Beefy Wild and could drink the broth. Sometimes I get a side of rice and make a lil porridge with the broth. But you cannot go wrong with anything at Kamitoku. I love this place, so please never go out of business!

Split pot, each person picks a set (can be different), downside was broth refills are $1, which I thought was tacky, considering you do all your own cooking at your table. So I just added water to my pot, worked just fine. Space is small, but every table has their own area, which is nice for privacy when talking over a meal. MENU: Limited, no seafood on the hot pot menu, just FYI. They also have an AYCE option too.
