Food is your normal panda express. It was fresh and hot. The service is fantastic super nice people. Very clean tables and dining area. Prices are pretty much the normal for a panda so its a great deal here. They have fun music playing

Wow the food was great and server’s were nice and everything was very clean.

Service was attentive and fast! Food was delicious! Everything was going well until we got the sweet and sour pork. When my wife went to dig in, she quickly spotted a black wire-y looking thing on the plate that looked out of place. Upon closer inspection, it was sharp and hard; metal hard. We're guessing it was a twisted staple or something like that. I included a picture below. It could've been a very dangerous situation if my wife or I had bitten down on that, or swallowed it. It's a shame. The food was good and all the service was spot on. But not sure if I would eat here again with this type of dangerous quality control problem.

It's true that people remember experiences more than any detail. This has been family-owned for years! (I don't know the exact history of this restaurant.) It was empty when we sat down. Lots of people ordered takeout during our dine-in. Anyway, very friendly service here. Hidden in the corner of this shopping center, close to Kailua Cinema. We ordered steamed fish filet with ginger sauce, stuffed bittermelon, shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, and Chinese chicken salad. All dishes were awesome!! 😋 I especially loved the chicken salad. It's rare that I finish it all; the chicken was not dry! the dressing was perfect. Got to talk to the owner a bit. She is very nice too. (Sorry, I forgot to ask your name!) But I definitely recommend this restaurant, and I will come back again! I want to try other dishes 😁

Stopped here for some quick food after hiking Koko Head Railway. We ordered a few items off the dim sum menu to share so we were in and out pretty quickly. The place was full when we arrived and was still full when we were finishing up.

Stopped in for Dim Sum. It's located in the Koko neighborhood plaza, a stone's throw from Leonard's Malasada truck parked in the lot. Chinese broccoli was excellent; had the oyster sauce on side; asked for hot mustard and chilie sauce. Char Sui Bao. Steamed bun with bbq pork. Crystal shrimp. Meatballs. Tofu skin wrapped beef. Fried dumplings. Black bean ribs. Sweet sticky rice sesame red bean balls.

We tried their special where you get an appetizer, a side, and and entree for roughly 22-25 dollars. The portion of protein was really quite small - I’ve had more food at a food court. The spicy chicken was tasty; as was the Mongolian beef. Good ambiance outdoors but we were seated inside - service was average but friendly. Reasonable value for the price but I’ve had much better Chinese food elsewhere.

Absolutely loved my dining experience at P.F. Chang’s Waikiki Beach! The food was incredible, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. My top picks were the Mongolian Beef—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—and the Singapore Street Noodles, which were packed with just the right amount of spice and savory goodness. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of the delicious items on their menu. Highly recommend! Carly is Great! 👍 Made our afternoon a special one.

The lemon chicken was 3 stars, the egg drop soup on a cold and rainy day was very nice and I’d give it 4 stars, and the quick takeout preparation and value being it to 4 stars overall. The chicken was fine but not very flavorful, decent quality chicken. The portions weren’t huge but that was fine, it was a bit more than a single serving of chicken, and a small side soup—it’s basically one meal, and it costs about what one meal should. It feels expensive, but compared to everything else on Oahu it’s a normal meal, and compared to other Chinese takeout it’s nice to have the option to not get a ton of food. I tried to order hot and sour soup without pork and they couldn’t do that, so that was one downside.

Misleading prices on their website. Ordered takeout and price was $15 more than what was advertised online. Apparently the menu on their website is from “a long long time ago” and yet they haven’t updated their website to reflect changes that are supposedly years old. Wouldn’t complain if the food matched the cost, but the quality and flavor was just okay.

This is your quintessential Chinese style dim sum restaurant with a good focus on excellent seafood. We ordered Dim Sum. Having lived in Hong Kong, we know good dim sum. We would say that when compared to Hong Kong, this restaurant is a solid 7. But for restaurants in the USA, it’s a 9. What stood out were the shrimp dishes like the Har Gau & rice paper rolls. The shrimp were huge and the complete centerpiece of any dish that shrimp were in. The Xiaolongbao were not good. Do not recommend them. I think they call them Shanghai pork dumplings on the menu. Dry, overly thick wrapper and missing the soupy inside. The Charsu bao were good. Fluffy bun, but they lacked enough port filling. The Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli) with garlic was excellent. We also like the lotus rice. Great flavor. But a bit under steamed. Overall, this was a very good restaurant. We liked the food and it brought us back to our time in Hong Kong. Prices are typical for a Honolulu restaurant. I think we spent about $60 for two of us to eat about 6 dishes. There are a lot of options and plate lunches on the menu if you don’t want dim sum. But I would recommend a bit of both for sharing.

First time here and definitely not our last. We came here on a weekday around 1100 before the downtown office workers lunch rush. We were greeted and seated right away. They dim sum menu is extensive and offers variety. They do not have the dim sum carts going around, instead they have the menu on the table which you pick what you want and quantity. We ordered Har Gow, Chicken Feet, Siu Mai, Spare Ribs, Seafood Seaweed Roll, Shrimp Look Fun, and Taro Puff. All.came out fresh, delicious and flavorful. One of the best dim sum in the island. We really loved the Seafood Seaweed Roll, Chicken Feet - tender, falling off the bone, the Shrimp Look Fun. Service was pleasant and attentive. Restaurant is clean and bright, and a huge dining area. They got busier and louder during the lunch rush hour.

If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine with bold, unforgettable flavors, Yi Xin Cafe is where you need to be. Hands down, this is the best Chinese food on Oahu, and I can't stop thinking about the incredibly amazing meal we had here. First, the food. Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The showstopper for me always? Their Sizzling Black Bean Beef. As soon as it arrived, that incredible aroma of savory black bean sauce and tender beef sizzling on the hot plate filled the air. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, coated in a sauce so flavorful it's hard to put into words. The caramelized onions and crisp vegetables added a perfect texture to balance the richness. It's the kind of dish that steals the show and has you dreaming about your next visit. But the real game-changer? Their chef's special menu. It takes everything you love about Chinese food and elevates it to another level. You can tell every dish is made with passion and precision. Their Salted Fish Chicken Eggplant is a savory masterpiece, rich and perfectly balanced. The Szechuan Spicy JJ Chicken Pot packs a punch with just the right amount of heat and complexity in every bite. And let me tell you, their Honey Walnut Shrimp? Pure perfection--crispy, creamy, and just sweet enough to keep you coming back for more. Even their classy Pickled Radish was an excellent standout-refreshing and the perfect palate cleanser between bites. Beyond the food, the service here was just as amazing. The staff made us feel so welcome and consistently checked in to make sure everything was perfect. Whether it was topping off our tea (and water) or asking how the meal was, they were attentive without being overbearing. It's that kind of care and hospitality that makes a meal here not just a dining experience but something truly memorable. Yi Xin Cafe is an absolute gem, and I honestly can't recommend it enough. If you haven't been, you're seriously missing out. Do yourself a favor--go, bring your friends and family, and prepare to be blown away!

Yi Xin Cafe serves up bold and flavorful singaporean dishes. From omelets, to rice bowls, and fried chicken, each dish has a unique flavor identity and texture while enjoying how fresh tasting it is. A must try and a good place for groups.

went here around 3 and was no wait. very kind family n amazing food. the dumplings are very tasty. would come back for lunch again.

Duck Lee has been on our list for sometime..  We saw few people queuing up before the opening hours. We ordered 2 choice plates. They had many items to chose from. We also bought BBQ pork Manapua and Chicken glutenous rice.   Many items on the menu had “sold out” sign...so I asked the lady if you have to come very early in the morning to get what you want. She told me, they don’t make everything everyday.   It is my own opinion about the food... all were just okay. I am glad I tried the place out though.

Orange chicken is ok! Kungpao chicken was salty with only soy sauce.

Both noodles, chow fun & chow mein- no flavor cooked with shoyu only, terrible. Walnut shrimp soggy, too much batter & too sweet, shrimp tiny. Enjoyed beef broccoli & mushroom chicken, apple lumpia.

The food here is amazing! The stir-fried beef rice noodles are freshly cooked with that signature wok hei—it truly reminded me of being back in China. I especially loved the Hong Kong-style milk tea, which tasted really authentic. Considering it’s in Hawaii, the prices are very reasonable. This place deserves more attention!

We had a great meal here. There was only one server and she was working extra hard. The pot stickers were delicious and my husband really liked the beef chow fun.

This was a great first time experience. Very nostalgic authentic place. I'd recommend coming a little earlier in the day since the dim sum is made hot every morning. The waiter came with the dim sum cart I got a couple of my go tos but I did try something new. The dim sum I think was very tasty, good flavor but I feel if I came earlier in the day it would have been more moist. The second waiter came with a delicious looking tray of buns and things, and I ordered look fun which then they went to prepare it. I've never had a better look fun, it was a little crispy and there was crunchy pork bits with the perfect sauce. I liked the dim sum but I loved the look fun! It's a little outdated inside but it has a sort of charm to it. I had 4 orders dim sum and a look fun (5 pieces) for $33! Probably time to raise your prices. Thanks it was so good.

Come to find out, you don't need to be in a Chinatown to have good Chinese food! I had this place bookmarked for a while but we ended up at another establishment due to a coin toss decision. This time, my spouse and I met some Oahu friends here for an early lunch. They open at 9am! Wow! ATMOSPHERE: Don't be scared by the way it looks on the outside. The inside is actually decent and fairly clean. It's a big space with lots of tables that filled up quickly as the day progressed. PARKING: The easiest parking is behind the restaurant in the paid lot shared with other businesses. There is no validation but our charge was affordable. MENU: Dim sum (with carts) along with a huge traditional menu. Pricing is very affordable. FOOD: I had my usual favorites including pork shu mai, chicken feet, steamed look funn with shrimp and custard tarts. I loved everything as they were fresh and flavorful. The look funn came with the soy-based sauce to the side, a plus in case you want more or less of it. I of course wanted more as it had a crazy good taste! Not as salty as traditional shoyu but with a hint of sweetness. If you know what it is they use, please let me know! I did try something new which was taro stuffed into an airy shell akin to shredded wheat cereal. I didn't care for it as the taro had an odd rancid taste like the smell of sour milk. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles Ever since I saw pics of this dish at other businesses, I had to try it somewhere as it looked so delish! The menu lists cake noodles, but it actually came with pan fried noodles which are deep-fried and crunchy. The gravy wasn't as savory as I had imagined but was still very good nonetheless. The chunks of marinated chicken were tender and tasty. Big portion for the price. Highly recommended. SERVICE: Some of the ladies were very brash in the typical Chinese way. Our waters were constantly topped off. Walk up to the counter to pay. OVERALL: Very good food and prices with everything available. If the service were better they'd easily be a five star establishment to me.

Everything we got was delicious! Service was great, food was great quality, and location is awesome. Right outside the Hyatt regency and it’s downstairs. We even came back a second time to get the honey walnut shrimp that’s to die for. Highly recommend.

I recently dined at Kirin Restaurant in Waikiki, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with tasteful decor that enhances the overall dining experience. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The food was the true highlight. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The Peking Duck was perfectly roasted with crispy skin and tender meat, while the dim sum offerings were fresh and authentic, rivaling some of the best I’ve had. The seafood dishes, particularly the honey walnut shrimp, were outstanding – cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, making it excellent value for the quality. It’s clear the chefs take pride in using fresh, high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. Overall, Kirin is a must-visit if you’re in Waikiki and craving exceptional Chinese cuisine. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or a celebratory feast, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in the area. Highly recommended!
