The food was fresh and delicious. Service friendly and helpful. You’ll feel like you’ve arrived at that hidden gem where the locals eat authentic Asian food. Hong Kong style noodles were delicious, as was the tofu and eggplant. Vegetarian potstickers were not listed on the expansive menu, but when the server realized we were vegetarian she made the recommendation. Great place!

The food here was super good! We went when they weren’t busy which was nice since Honolulu area was always filled with people. Their garlic fried rice was super yum.

First time. Last minute selection to get something different. Service was quick. Unfortunately, the scallops were the bay scallop “small” size, very little mushroom, and the portion size seemed a bit small compared to the price.

The food and service were great,but the place was dated and the people were preparing the food at the table next to us. But all in all it was great food.

Excellent service, friendly environment, the food was fresh and very tasty, it was delicious. No waiting time. I highly recommend this place it is a hidden gem. Prices are very affordable.

This place used to be good, the food is really bad. I ordered chicken fried rice, the worst fried rice I have ever eaten, I ended up tossing it, my money to the garbage can! it was more like old steam rice not fried and the chicken tasted like freezer, the food was cold. I will never buy food from this place again. Most positive reviews are from workers and friends from the owners.

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.

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.

Went during Happy Hour which I highly recommend. 15% off every menu item. And those items were tasty. Very, very tasty. I was sad that they were sold out of the steamed rice rolls though. I would have loved to have tried some. Perhaps I’ll just have to visit their Hong Kong location, which had maintained a Michelin Star for 9 years, and get some there!

The overall quality of food is pretty good, though it’s not quite on par with what you’d find in Asia. The variety of snacks and drinks are impressive. I especially liked the char siu buns and chicken feet, which are definitely the standout dishes here—both are flavorful and unique. That being said, the custard buns were a bit too greasy, and some dishes, like the stir-fried noodles, could use more flavor. Still, I’d recommend giving it a try!

Thought we would give it a try since it’s been awhile. Saw that there were still a lot of take out orders, so it was a good sign👍. Ordered our usuals for dinner for 8 and all courses were on par. Chicken salad, Fried Tofu, crispy gaugee, Boneless Minute Chicken Cake Noodle order extra noodles, Honey Walnut Shrimp, seasoned green beans, Fried Rice. Of course, prices have gone up, and portions have downsized, but that’s everywhere. It’s nice to have a neighborhood Chinese Restaurant where you can meet with your extended family. We will be back!

Small little Chinese restaurant tucked away in Manoa. Service is pretty good considering that only one person works the floor and had 4 parties. The guy usually just stays at the register or delivers food. The food was very good 👍 my folks have come here many times and it was amazing, I don’t even like Chinese food 😂. Parking lot was small but the bank next door is closed so we parked there. Would definitely come back again if in the area.
