I stopped by and got the “bigger plate” which included three entrees. Went half and half on the fried rice and fried rice noodles. My go to entree is the honey walmut shrimp. That took care of my honey walnut craving. I also tried out their crispy chili shrimp. It was very dry and lacked flavor. I also got the tofu and eggplant which was served is a separate smaller box. This vegetarian entree was good. The service here is great. People behind the counter are friendly. Ample seating space. Parking is hard to get as the lot was full when I arrived for dinner. This is not a new issue for Hawaii. I parked on the street and walked a bit to the restaurant. Overall, good dining experience.

Location is a tight fit. When the drive-through gets busy, traffic backs up. Parking is a total nightmare here. Would NOT recommend this location based upon parking availability. Food and service are ok compared to other locations of the parent brand.

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.

Loved my quick takeout lunch here. Online order is super easy and it's great for skipping the waiting lines. The Hainan style chicken was very satisfying and a solid portion to bring on the post-lunch snoozes. Only thing I could have wanted was a spicy chili sauce with it- otherwise it comes with shoyu, ginger oil and sweet chili sauce. The braised gizzards were tasty too :)

I was passing by and a parking space was available so I pulled right in. Yes, they have a very limited parking and they are very popular. I went in for my lunch and the place was full with Straub Medical people as the Straub Medical Center is very near by and the people working at the Honolulu Police Station across the street. I placed an order of black bean sauce over chicken and noodle for $14.50, which is cheap, and it was great, soo tasty. I also have to mention that the staff are very polite and efficient while this place was so busy. This is a great place and I would come more only if there were more parking.

We came here on a Friday for lunch and were pleased to find a table for 3. Lots of choices for the appetizers, entrees. Loved the Szechuan pepper 🌶️ in the dishes. The chili wontons were very good (size is perfect for a one bite). The green beans were fresh and crisp. The lamb with cumin and cilantro was very addictive and the twice-cooked pork was stir-fried with a lot of green onions/leeks. We walked away pretty impressed since we can find good Chinese food in California.

-2023/2024 visits- The cold spicy chicken dish is too rough, which the chicken is supposed to be very tender. The mala intestines and frogs are amazing! Chilli diced chicken tastes really tender with proper seasoning. Some dishes just make this place my favorite Chinese restaurant on island now. -2024/12- Just tried some non popular dishes here, all.i wanna say is, better not to ask for the seasoning adjustment so you won't miss the authentic flavor. Coz every time I asked to lower the heat, the flavor changed in a negative way. ~~~Latest Update 2025~~~ Again here. But this time trying their grilled fishes, which were so nice with lot of ingredients. You can also add extra sides, like hot pot. Extra intestines at 10 dollars, extra duck blood at 10 dollars. Strongly recommend to come by for lunch which is less crowded and better service.

This is a real gem for those who like decent Chongqing styled noodles. The house rice noodle is very tasty if you don’t know what yo order. I tried its green pepper with pork dry noodle and it was excellent. It’s just as good if not better than the best ones I had back in California. The noodles were cooked just right and the flavor of the green pepper and pork was on point. The only minor issues were that there were a bit too much pork and the strips are a bit too big. The best part, you can pick your own spiciness level, unlike in Chongqing where there’s only one level of spiciness: burning spicy. The chef recommended the pork intestine noodles, which I will definitely try on my next visit. The service was friendly and attentive. The sitting area and its ambience reminded me of tiny noodle shops in China, but much cleaner. Highly recommended.

Delicious chongqing / Szechuan style noodle shop. You can only find noodles in the menu and marinated duck parts, including the all time favorite duck necks. The food was - warning - very salty. Not sure if we caught it on an off day but we had to water our noodles down. We usually eat on the saltier side.

I literally love this place the food is so good and super flavorful. The service was so great, the man was extremely friendly and joyful. You have to come here!! You can also do karaoke for free and it’s byob! We got the Dan Dan noodles, blanket noodles w beef and soup dumplings

A very pleasant surprise here. Don’t let its name fool you as it serves a wide variety of authentic Chinese dishes, mostly of Cantonese variety, but also some Update: we tried its steamed buns (小笼包) today at &19 for 16 of them. They were small, but very tasty. I like the. Better than the famous Ding Ta Fung (鼎泰丰) located all over the world. I also tried its chicken soup over rice. Once again, it was tasty, but it wasn’t soupy as advertised and it could use more chicken in this dish. As before, the food was good, but a bit on the pricy side. Shanghainese and Szechuan dishes. We had the ginger/onion chicken (similar to Hainan chicken) and beef with bitter melon. Both were very tasty and sizes were quite large. We will try its noodles on our next visit. The proprietor who also served as the cook was very friendly and efficient. A definitely worth future visits.

Food is really good and the portion is huge.....price is ok and good service....parking is a little bit tricky due to limited availability....but overall place is really good

Had a quick lunch of shu Mai, Har gow and some pan fried item they recommend. Dumplings were already hot and came out instantly. Really really good flavor and the shu Mai had pork and mushroom with fish eggs on top. It looked a little weirder than ones I've had before but they were excellent. Har gow flavor was great too.

insanely good - the shrimp breading was the best i can fathom. noodles were fantastic, great flavor all around, very impressed!

I remember going to this restaurant thirty years ago as a child of about seven with my dad. I remember it being small, but cozy and two older, silver haired aunties working inside. I confess, I wasn’t a picky child and liked everything that I ate here, especially the steamed rice. Having found it still open and in the same location I had to try it with my wife. We arrived at the perfect time to find a parking spot and went inside to be greeted be two older aunties, not quite silver haired. One took our party size and we were sat within moments. I remember seeing a chef on the menu and looking through the pages. After a few minutes we ordered the house fried rice, shrimp and pork spicy sauce wonton, and the shrimp and pork pot sticker. Unfortunately, of the three, my wife and I only liked the house fried rice. The wontons had a healthy dose of cilantro in each and as a garnish overpowering the dish. The potstickers would have been good, but the sauce at table side was heavy with toasted sesame. This may have been my fault as a lack of understanding on my part, but it killed the flavor unfortunately. It was a good memory relived, but I may prefer going to a more well understood dining experience.

No frills for Dim Sum and service. Hot tea was tasty. Street parking is sometimes difficult to find. Be patient.

This was quite the experience! We recommend you come with patience and the mentality that there may be a wait due to limited seating and very busy staff. We waited about 20 minutes but once seated we quickly began flagging down waitresses to get our orders in. The food was very good and came out fairly quick once you got your orders in. The garlic chicken wings with the chili paste was very nice as well!! Get the egg tarts before they’re gone, they’re sweet and are perfect to eat with tea.

The mini plate takeout choices are good. But string bean beef is tough. Butcher items like char siu and roast duck are more expensive. Small dining room with one large table and several small ones. One question for the owner: what is the real name for the restaurant? My receipt and your menu says Nine99 Seafood House. Your poster outside and this Maps entry says Nine99 Takeout Express.

Stumbled upon this place this morning. Got the crispy chicken that was soooo good!! So crispy and the meat was still juicy! Top notch. Also tried their creamy egg desert bao. DELICIOUS! Great customer service and all the food options are handmade and quickly made for your enjoyment. 10/10 will definitely come again. MAHALO 🫶🏽

Found the old school Cantonese comfort food of the islands. Food and service were surprisingly good. We will be back to have a larger party here. Lunch and Dinner plates priced right for the quantity and selection for a mixed plate. Decent crowd of dine in and take out customers.

I ordered the crispy oyster chicken noodle and it was great! The serving was huge. I paid $11.95 and the container could feed 2 people easy. I also purchased shrimp chips those were fabulous crunchy tasty and big. The waiter was kind and fast. I gave the 3 stars because the restaurant was cramped and there is little parking. That aside the food was the best Chinese food I’ve had since COVID. I will definitely be returning. The prices and the food definitely outweigh the cramped restaurant and junk parking!

Food and service were excellent. Came here for dinner. They can make all the steamed dimsum dishes. However not everything was available. If you want the full dimsum menu, must go before 330pm. Food wasn’t too salty or (too sweet)! We loved everything we got! Service was great. Staff was friendly and very attentive! Reasonably priced!

Having dim sum in Honolulu is nice. The price is really good comparing to San Francisco. And the shrimp dumplings are huge. The Xiao Long Bao was very large but again a little saltier than normal. The vegetables were a little salty so if you ask not to add salt that will improve the food flavor….
