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.

Staff immediately engaged with me when I walked in and had packaged the chow mein sauce separately from the cake noodles as not to soak the noodles. Have been in couple times since it reopened as Grand Chinese Restaurant and each time they surprise me by doing something nice, like the side sauce for chow mein. Next time I'm getting the shrimp with black bean and the stuffed eggplant, bitter melon, tofu trio. Chance a visit for a family night out, you won't be disappointed.

I've seen a few of my Yelp buddies check into this Chinese restaurant called - Grand Chinese Restaurant so I decided to take them to this place to give it a try. What can I say about this joint? It's your typical old skool Chinese restaurant, which provides ono Chinese comfort food, great service, & a spacious environment to have a meal with family and friends. The only downside about coming here was that their air conditioner tripped the electrical power here, so it was rather hot/warm inside of the restaurant. We ordered an array of dishes (see pics), and the food was enjoyable. Some of the standout dishes were the Steamed Fish, and the very meaty Roast Duck. Located at the Pearl City Shopping Center, you can find Grand Chinese Restaurant tucked away just next door from American Savings Bank area. Prices here were very reasonable, food portions were more than generous, and the staff provided friendly fast service! Easy 5 stars, but I had to minus a star due to the hot/warm dining area due to the a/c not working. Lol!

The location is conveniently located in a small shopping area off Nimitz (green paint on shopping center).  It's next to the Hemp shop and a Dialysis location.   There's parking in front of the restaurant.  I always find parking but if it's full, you can probably find street parking.  There's 2 sitting areas on each side of the counter so they can accommodate if you come with friends.  What I love to watch is the noodle cook in the front.   You can watch her cook the noodles, sauce & toss, then add all the toppings for your dish.   Somehow watching them prepare it makes you even more excited to eat.     It also makes time go fast when you watch her cook, toss, and top the noodles.   Service is really fast. For those that wondered where Mini Garden went after 99 Ranch, here it is!!!   Come and try the stewed noodles, it's my favorite and may become yours too!!!

I dined there a few times years ago. I think they had more take out after covid. I want to visit another time before they close 6/27/26 from what was mentioned on social media. They have old school dishes which were good. It was the first time having beef stew foo jook. I wouldn't mind having that again with minute chicken cake noodles! I haven't seen Yeeps patronizing them recently. It's kinda of sad seeing all these Chinese restaurant closing for various reason. They have been here for years! Best wishes!

The chicken was fried in bite sizes with a crispy coating and hints of Chinese 5 spice. It was served on a bit of cabbage with fried basil. If you order the sauce that goes with it, you'll get a slightly sweet accent to the chicken. Grandpa Rolling Beef is a creative braised beef rolled in a scallion pancake with extra veggies. Great flavors with a crunchy texture. The joong or zong zhi was mochi rice with pork and preserved egg. If you were looking for home style sticky rice, you got it here with a bit of a light sauce. The preserved egg brings back memories of Popo's kitchen/ your childhood. We tried Taiwan tofu pudding for dessert. You should order it even if you order nothing else. Perfect for two. Silky tofu in a slightly sweet sauce with shaved ice, boba and peanuts combine for a perfect dessert. Not heavy and just sweet enough to tempt a non-dessert person. A return to this restaurant is always warranted! Give it a try!

There's a lot of parking in front or just down the slight hill which opens to a bigger parking lot. The dining room looked brightly lit, clean and inviting. No other customers were there & the rest of our party didn't come yet either. Our table could seat possibly 8 people but there was only 6 of us so we removed some of the chairs so everyone could sit comfortably. We ordered the following: * Char sui fried rice - nice taste with the char sui mixed within the fried rice. * Peppered beef w veggies - good taste, the veggies consisted of bell peppers and onions. * Walnut shrimp - nice shrimp pieces fully covered w the cream/sauce served w walnuts on the side. Nothing fancy; tasted like others that I've tasted before. * Oyster sauce chicken over cake noodles - wish there was better chicken pieces and more sauce for the cake noodles. I had to scrape up whatever sauce was on the serving dish to top off the cake noodles. * Pork chops - this was one of my favorites as it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. There was this green onion & jalapeño mix on it but I don't like spicy so I stayed away from the jalapeños. Crispy gau gee - it was small and it tasted ok. Have seen bigger, filled gau gee. Service - the ladies came around frequently to refill our water glasses. We were given take out boxes to bring home the leftovers. Their sweet and sour sauce was good. I spooned that over everything. Prices - seemed reasonable enough Would we return? Maybe but if we really wanted to eat Chinese food, we probably would go somewhere else. Would we recommend this place? Sure, as everyone has their own taste. I understand this is the 3rd owner and I wouldn't want them to close up because of my review. You'll just have to go & try it...select what you like to eat and see for yourself. This review is just my own opinion. Good luck to Golden Wheel.

The first, and most annoying thing is, the strips of hot dog in my "7 treasure" noodles. Most places use ham? Other than that, the noodles had a decent flavor. The hot dog taste is off-putting though. The Kung pao chicken had a very loose gravy and not much taste. The Mongolian beef, although spicy, didn't have much else going on. The crispy gau gee was very crispy and well seasoned, the best of the 4 things by far... My phone order was quoted 20 to 25 minutes, it was ready when I arrived to pick it up and the worker was nice. Definitely not impressive for the total cost of $62. Stick to the dinner plate
