I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. This was the first Chinese restaurant I’ve visited where the food quality was notably poor. The chicken and broccoli with brown sauce tasted old and unappealing, and the Kung Pao chicken was not only poorly prepared but also bore little resemblance to a traditional Kung Pao dish. The honey garlic chicken was below average, and the fried rice was equally underwhelming. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience. FYI, the photo below is supposed to be kung pao chicken, never have I seen Kung Pao Chicken look like this..

One of the last few remaining strongholds of 70s/80s Hawaii vibes local restaurants. Prices still good even in 2025, food as solid and consistent as always. This is a type of Chinese food specific to local Hawaii that I don't think you can get anywhere else in the world. The dishes are available elsewhere but would be slightly different in a hard to describe way. This is food that should be known not necessarily for its quality, but for its place in Hawaii's local cuisine culture which is changing, and we soon won't have any places like this left.

Great service. Food arrived fast and was ono! Portions are good too. We had: “Dry” Chop Suey with char su (preferred no gravy) Black Bean Clams Honey Walnut Prawns/Shrimp Sautéed Garlic On Choy

Good food that is reasonably priced with large portions! The menu has a ton of things on it and we only tried three things (crab rangoon, asparagus with shrimp, and honey orange chicken). I would definitely get the asparagus with shrimp again, it was so good! The honey orange chicken lacked much of the orange flavor, but it was decent. We will come back for sure, probably with a bigger group to share lots of things.

My go to for smoothies, they use real fruits. I love their Taro smoothie must try! and the Strawberry/Mango smoothie is ono. I haven't tried much of their food because they run out but I like their stuffed Eggplant and oyster chicken is good. Rice cake and coconut/red bean sesame ball is a good treat too.

Small authentic family-owned Chinese food. Friendly service with a great price. I will come back.

Drive through order, Beef and broccoli x2 and super green. I received a lot of green and no beef. This has happened to me several times at this Panda Express. The employee suck and the management suck. Do not eat here.

Every time I come, the food is just a little overcooked, and a little bit dry. Also it seems like they are missing ingredients a lot of the time. You would be better off to go to the nearby Panda Express at Maunaloa Terrace.

Absolutely terrible experience. From the moment we walked through the door, the smell of cat urine should have made us turn around and head back out. For the $15.95 weekend buffet price it is not at all worth it. We got there just as they were setting out for dinner and there wasn't many options to choose from. We were told they would bring more out and over the next 45 minutes they brought out maybe 4 different things. All the food tasted old and they had none of the traditional items you would expect to find at a Chinese buffet. There "fresh" fruit was not at all fresh and looked like it had been sitting out for a while. I steered clear of that and stuck with the canned fruit instead. This was the cheaper of the options available for Chinese buffets but it was still way to overpriced for what you get. The restaurant itself is run down and the floors, tables, and even the kitchen looked filthy. The only good thing I can say about my experience was that the employees were nice but the service was almost nonexistent and the food absolutely gross. If you were hoping to get some ice cream, don't hold your breath because the machine is out of order.

Very clean location, service was great and friendly. The food we ordered was a bit watered down not as flavorful as other places. They have a buffet 7 days a week between 11am-2pm for 24.00 haven't tried it yet bit nay try it for the 2nd attempt of food taste.

Bottom line, this is a cheap no-frills Chinese place that will serve you quantity over quality. Not gonna lie though, I felt pretty gross afterwards and severely needed fresh veggies lol. Went there for lunch and got the dinner plate, because honestly it was only like 65 cents extra compared to lunch plate for fried shrimp and fried rice. The sheer amount of options and different items on the plate make it cost effective, but temper your expectations because the food is very meh. Even the pork were all cold, signifying they're just reheating it all out of the fridge. The fried shrimp was way too much batter. The chow mein was good, but the sauce was so gloopy with corn starch. Could only finish half, and debating if I wanna finish the other half for lunch tomorrow BUT! THE WINNER WINNET GAU GEE DINNER. So the fried gau gee is $14.99 and comes in a portion of 8, but jeez Louise are these the BIGGEST PLUMPEST GAU GEE you ever did see. Like they're so stuff, and worth the price. A side dish of mustard comes too so you can make your own shoyu mustard for dipping. All else, I will just be ordering these gau gee for potlucks. Service was fine, servers were nice. Lots of tables inside. Again, no frills.

my brother & sister-in- law were in town for the day from Big Island. he wanted to go back to Waimalu for the jumbo crispy gau gee. he'd ordered it to take home last time he was here for work. today he ordered his favorite ~ oyster sauce 🐔 w/ cake noodle & the steamed pork hash. we also had beef w/ sweet sour cabbage and s/s spareribs. oyster sauce chicken was good - big pieces of tender 🐔, bite size pieces of cake noodle & choy sum. sweet sour cabbage itself was ono w/ tender pieces of beef. pork hash was ok. piece of s/s spareribs i had was chewy. they went home with the LOs + another order of jumbo crispy gau gee & roast pork 😋 which he'd also taken home last time

New owners as of Oct 24. No more lunch special, more concise menu and an updated feel! I think the portions are a but bigger and the food tastes a bit more ono! Faves are still sweet sour fish, salt n pepper shrimp, and steamed fish. The owner is the chef and Kelly usually runs the front house! I will enjoy continuing to go eat here! There is a new 3% credit card surcharge.

Sunday Funday with Mommy Dearest. Today, she wanted Chinese. We used to come here a lot and it brought back many good memories. They've been around for a long time. Mom and Pop operated. Small, very cozy place. But the food packs huge flavors. You can't beat the price here.

Food is great. Atmosphere is amazing inside the center. Your process for online orders is not 100%. Had a soda ordered and it was not apart of the order. Recommend to put it with the order/put it in the bag so when the customer comes to pick up the order, it is included. I left without all the items in the bag, assuming all items were in the bag. I'll take the cost hit, but will hit you with the review to fix.

Went to pandas to purchase a drink with my cashapp card, didn’t noticed till a few days they charged me for the drink and then a whole separate transaction right after that was charged idk how. Tried filing a dispute and contacting the establishment but no answer.

I ordered chow mein, char siu, two dinner plates and seaweed fishcake soup. The food lacked flavor. There wasn’t enough seasoning on any of the dishes. The crispy gaugee was crispy but even that had little flavor. The only way to know if the food is good is to order it, now I know. The service was good, the staff was friendly. The restaurant is conveniently located with ample parking.

No wait, plenty of tables, very clean. The waitress was great and fast! She had tea hot & ready. When our duck and bao came out she served us. She also served us our first bowl of egg drop soup. Definitely going to be a repeat customer ❤️

We visited around noon on a random Monday. The trays were sticky to the touch and the food was okay (the Super Greens were over cooked and had turned to mush). We wiped our table and benches down with napkins. The bathroom was clean, but the floor was a little slick. Not the worst, but not the best either.

Typical Panda Express in a small strip of shops next to Walmart. Strip parking is usually available but walmart lot neighbors with lots of parking. Love the super greens option as a base. Kung pao chicken and broccoli beef are always great. It would be nice to get the brown rice back.

We ordered take out. Not at all what we were expecting. The orange chicken was extreay tough and had a very odd flavor like it was old meat, the king pao chicken had very fatty chewy chicken. The sauce was quite the mystery… Didn’t taste anything like king pao. In fact there was zero flavor only a salty tang to it. The egg drop soup was fair. The ham hash in it had a very old meat taste to it. Fried rice was flavorless. We spent over $100 on food here and were very disappointed by all of it. Too bad because we we really looking forward to dinner. We threw away 90% of it. If we were not starving it all would have gone in the trash.

Ordered the lunch plate, beef chow fun, egg foo young, and lemon chicken. Everything on the lunch plate tasted so plain and old, beef chow fun was greasy and tasteless. Egg foo young was just a pan fried egg, no gravy, no rice for $15 The only edible thing was the lemon chicken After eating some of the food my stomach starting to hurt… will not order from here again.
