One customer shared a particularly negative encounter involving an order of chicken lo mein and fried dumplings. According to this review, the fried dumplings were surprisingly well-received. However, the chicken lo mein did not meet expectations. The customer reported that the dish looked significantly different from a reference photo provided, the chicken was undercooked, and the lo mein lacked flavor. Despite confirming the order multiple times with the waitress, the customer stated that the dish received was not as expected. This negative experience culminated in a disagreement regarding the return of the uneaten dish, with the customer ultimately paying for the meal despite their dissatisfaction, while still complimenting the dumplings and leaving a tip.
In contrast, another customer had a positive experience with our dim sum. This reviewer described the dim sum as "hot," "fresh," and generously filled, noting that it was neither greasy nor soggy. They also pointed out that a serving of three dim sum was a substantial portion and found the price of $6.95 for this large serving to be reasonable.

Customer Reviews
Ordered chicken lo mein and dumplings. The dumplings came out fried, was surprisingly good so I didn’t say anything. I showed her a picture of chicken lo mein attached to this review and the other image is what she brought out. I asked 3 times before ordering if it will look like this, and she said yes.The chicken was undercooked, there was no flavor in the “lo mein”, and it looked nothing like the photos. My bf and I decided to give it a chance and took a bite and I know it’s really rude to spit out food but we did respectfully. I asked the waitress 3 times after she delivered if this was the correct order and she said yes. After sitting and not eating any of it for 10 minutes we finally waved her down. Keep in mind, only 2 tables inside. I asked her if it’s possible to send it back politely. She said since we both took a bite, we have to pay. She continued to get loud and yell at us, and bring attention to our table. We were very polite. I said I will pay for what I ate, the dumplings. There was obviously spat out food on our plates. I’ve never been so unsatisfied. I paid and left. Prior to leaving , I told her that the dumplings were really good though and I still tipped.
I loved the dim sum. It was hot, tasted fresh, lots of filling, not greasy or soggy. Three dim sum is a large portion. The service was quick and the prices, I think, were reasonable. One large portion was $6.95. The server gave me the menu with photos, which I found really helpful.
This is a typical small Chinese restaurant. Food selections were varied and good, and the portions large. The quality was very good but not exceptional, which is why I gave it four stars instead of 5.
Food was yummy but BE READY to pay a hefty tips when you check out. Otherwise, the boss would come and REPRIMAND you in front of all other guests. Their service and attitude were absolutely NOT worth the tips they asked for. Would NOT want to go back even though the food was amazing. I was wondering why they didn't have a full house of guests, now I understand why, it's NOT about the FOOD, it's the SERVICE.
Visited Hawaii for the first time from Canada. Was recommended by hotel we were staying at. Being part Cantonese myself I love authentic food and not westernized Asian food. Their dim sum was so good that we went twice in the same week! It was the freshest and most tasty ones we’ve ever had. Their service is not the best, place is not very organized but just for the food I would recommend! Always a good sign when you see lots of locals vs the touristy areas.
