Since this pandemic blocked our chance to visit this place, today was the first time to enjoy their dim sum! They are exactly same as I remember, YUM! I highly recommend dim sum here, servers walk through tables with dishes on the steam cart. Taste is good, price is very reasonable, and very aithentic!

Must try Dim Sum! BEST CHAR SIU BUNS EVER!!! The shu Mai and shrimp and chive dumplings were absolutely incredible as well! All the ingredients taste so fresh and and were perfectly assembled with such AMAZING flavors. I cannot wait to go back! Definitely try the desserts too! I would gain 5lbs a week if I lived closer.

The best place for dimsum in Oahu in my personal opinion. Wait was long, but the food came out quick (once you got a table) and the variety was good. And the key here is that they have vegetables! Soup dumplings were delicious. I love that they have all the regular dishes. I rate their egg tarts to be excellent as well. Well worth the wait. Parking is also easy once you get into the local garages.

Knocked down 1 star because the seats and linen were so dirty. The service was excellent. The food was great and tasted right. However, I wish the portions were a bit larger. I guess it's a Hawaiin thing that they come in 3s. The chicken feet came with only 4pc. When I asked for a takeout box, the staff packed it for me and tied it up in a plastic bag. The first wasn't right in the middle so she untied to to tie it again so that it doesn't tip. Wonderful service with every staff we encounter. They speak English, Cantonese, and mandarin. Pay at the front counter (not at your seat).

Our go-to dim sum place. Great service and prices. They're constantly circling the floor with the carts, but be sure to ask for the dim sum menu because they only have the most popular items on them. Great dinner menu also! Quick service and huge family style portions.

The staff welcomed us very well and asked us what we wanted the most. The food was tasty and we felt that they were trying to make it taste good. The price was reasonable for the quality of the food.

Two co-workers and I walked up to the Chinese Cultural Plaza on Beretania and River Street to try a new Taiwanese restaurant. Alas, it was packed so we walked around looking for an alternative. On the River Street side, we stumbled onto Hong Kong Noodle House. We used to come here for duck noodle every now and then a long time ago. Our server brought us water in paper cups (??) and menus. It was an extensive menu for a small restaurant; two of us ordered the tossed noodles ($15) with beef tendon while the third member of our group asked for the tossed noodles with beef tendon and pig’s feet ($18). Our food came out quickly, on paper plates. The soup that accompanies tossed noodles came in a shallow plastic container, like you would get when you buy a quarter pound of poke. We wondered why paper plates and cups; that must increase their costs. The only thing I could think of was staffing. It seemed to be a two-person operation. I tried the noodles first … they were salty. My tablemate suggested dipping the noodles into the soup. I thought that wouldn’t work because the soup was also salty. However, that did work, but it made the noodles softer. My tablemates thought the noodles were overcooked; mine were okay until I dipped them to “rinse off the salt”. Conversely, the tendon was fine as was the pigs feet. Our tab was $50, we left $60 and walked out feeling unsatisfied. My co-workers ended up buying a croissant at Ocean Side Bakery on the way back to our office. We can safely drop Hong Kong Noodle House off our list of places to eat.

I love how it is hole in the wall. And it's quite hard to find and hidden. As well parking is terrible lol. . Parking basically street parking. I found parking across the street with a handicap spot. The parking is terrible and have to make a few circles to find one. . How to order? Basically order anything you see on the menu. If they have it they can mix and match to your liking. The problem is I wanted beef tendon, mom wanted the pig feet, and we both want noodles skinny kind and won ton. But we don't want to order too much as we are doing back to back food experiences. Mind you not we already went to 3 back to back foodie spots lol. At this point we just trying out a new spot. . So we got a plate of skinny noodle tossed with beef tendon and pig feet. Also a plain won ton soup. . Won ton - just a dozen of won ton and plain broth. The Won ton has a bouncy texture to the meat. The shrimp was bouncy too. The flavor was authentic with the dry fish powder in it. . Beef tendon and pigs feet is nothing special with flavor more just for the texture. . Noodles - as soon my chop sticks end touches it I knew it didn't pass my authentic bougie chinese texture for bouncy. The noodle was clumped together and was not bouncy slippery texture. It wasn't bad or good just meh like still missing the texture. The love and sweat is put into making it tho. I really appreciate that. The Chef did a great job just my personal preference. . Hot chili oil is amazing tho. It has a nice kick and was spicy. It went well with everything. I loved it and it was memorable. I love the condiments on the table with the hot muster and white peppers and chili paste and etc. . Overall I had a wonderful experience. It was great to take mama to her own food when she grew up in hkg. I know the authentic of hkg won ton noodles and when I mentioned the dry fish powder in the won ton, the owner knew I know how to eat and no further questions asked lol. It was funny to everyone that a ABC knows his won ton seriously. Thanks for reading and hope this helps. Have a yelptastic day.

Located on the River Street side of the shopping plaza, it's great place to grab a coffee or a refreshment when exploring the chinatown neighborhood. The lilikoi lemonade was excellent and I would recommend adding fruit if offered.

Friendly beyond word. Food and drink so authentic yet very reasonable price. We are so glad that it came back!

I really enjoy the plate lunches here. The food is tasty and the price is cheap. Portions are large so a mini usually fills me up. It is important to know that this place is cash only so make sure you hit an atm first. The closest atm is in the liquor store in the cultural plaza.

Craig K. This is where I go when I am hungry. Huge portions and tasty too. Even if I'm hungry I still cannot finish and have leftovers for the next day. The Hamburger taste like Homemade. Mostly everything on the menu is good. Susan is kind and friendly. She is the Lady that cooks all the delicious food.

Chinatown Hole in the wall Mom&Pop Noodle shop. Love the old school food, atmosphere, and service. Best tasting Minute Chicken Cake Noodle and won ton fun in town. Freshly made wonton.

Dont let the street vibes discourage you … Tasty Chinese eats at Lee Ho Fook! 🥢🔥 The house special tossed and cake noodles are a hit, and is a must-try! Fresh, flavorful, and friendly service served with hot tea . Perfect for a casual meal. 🍜🐼

Small mom and pop. Cash only but good food and fast service! They do not speak much English but we were able to order just fine :) great prices would recommend!

This place is definitely as 'hole-in-the-wall' as it gets, located in the alley way to the right of Royal Kitchen. This is the place for tasty cheap-eats Chinese food. Not a big fan of their fat-noodle dishes, but definitely try their rice plates, such as their black pepper pork chop w/ rice. For the price, you get really decent food! There's free 30-min validated parking in the back (entrance @ Kukui st) where the Chinese School is.

Was greeted by a kind gentleman behind the counter. He saw us looking and opened up the steam basket to show us more options but wasn't pushing us to by his food. I was already full but decided to get the fried pork dumplings. I'm so glad I did. Omg it was fresh, hot, crispy and the filling tasted just right. This place costs a lot less than where I'm from for dim sum. If I could eat more, I would've ordered more.

Love the mom and pop dimsum very nice couple behind the counter and the food was good price for the size

Go here!! 8 dollar lunch special with char siu and roast pork, side of rice and gai lan. Food is amazing. Char siu is moist and flavorful. When you are done turn to your left to papa’s cafe and get the lilikoi and calamansi green tea - delicious.

Asked for lunch special for $8.00 that was on display window at 2:00 pm. Didn’t think I was getting the display meal but I did. How long was it sitting there not anywhere by a warmer…is this safe to EAT??? Food poisoning? Health dept should look at how they serve this !!! My fault for accepting this…should have refused it. My wife got the char sui and got fresh hot rice and bbq sitting in the warmer window. That is why they got the 1 rating for the luncheon….

Update: we’ve came back for its thousand-year egg tarts, unfortunately they only serve them on the weekends. Guess we have to come back this weekend. Instead I ordered the sauerkraut & pork rice noodle (forgot that I’ve had this dish before). It’s still pretty good, except there was very little pork, unlike the last time. We also had the mushroom chicken, which was tasty, except we had to be careful with all the splinters of chicken bones. I think the owner needs to invest in a new cleaver. A typical looking traditional dim sum place. I ordered some basic dim sums to go and they were fine, but nothing special. Each dim sum is about $6. It took a little longer than expected to get my small order ready, but it wasn’t bad. Servers were very friendly.

Excellent selections of dim sum. I come here regularly. Pork hash, beef balls, “guo tie” pan fried chives dumplings are my fav. Parking at cultural plaza is a breeze. Can also park at open market. One hour is free.

Lam’s Kitchen – A Traditional Chinese Noodle Shop in the Heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown Lam’s Kitchen is a small, old-fashioned noodle shop nestled in the bustling Chinatown district of Honolulu. The place seats only about 30 people, so even though we came during a regular lunch hour, my family and I had to wait around 20 minutes to get a table. I ordered the fish noodle soup – the broth was clear and light, with a clean, subtle flavor. The fish was not fried but cooked directly in the soup, making the meat firm, fresh, and pleasantly mild. It’s a good choice for those who enjoy traditional, light flavors. My husband and child had the stir-fried beef rice noodles – a more memorable dish. The wide, chewy noodles were stir-fried hot with tender slices of beef, and the dish carried a distinct smoky aroma from the wok – adding a layer of depth and authenticity. Lam’s Kitchen may not offer groundbreaking cuisine, but it delivers an honest, traditional Chinese dining experience. If you have time while visiting Chinatown, it’s worth trying at least once.

We got the chow fun with choysum, fried donuts and beef and tendon look fun in soup. The soup dish was good, comforting but leaning towards too salty for us. The chow fun was lacking smokiness, overpowered by the sauce. Texture of noodle was amazing tho. The donuts were great too. Service was quick. We sat next to a larger group and had to share condiments which was a little awkward.
