    Garlic Green Beans
    Alvin K.

    We've ordered take out from Bo's many times, but it's usually been their noodles and soup dishes. After babysitting my granddaughter, we were too tired (lazy) to cook, so my daughter ordered delivery. I opted to try the Beef Brisket with rice plate, while my daughter ordered her usual noodle soup with side orders of chicken dumplings and garlic beans. The food arrived fairly quickly and it was all still hot. The flavor of the brisket was very similar to pork kau yuk, with the slight star anise flavor. It was meaty and delicious, but I wished it was a bit more saucy. The green beans were cooked perfectly and the garlic flavor was fairly mild, and not overpowering. The dumplings were most and tender inside, with a slight chew to the wrapper; very delicious. Good, tasty Chinese food at reasonable prices.

    Steamed rice noodle w/ won tons (peanut butter sauce)

    Chef Bo and her husband, Jeffrey, started her business called Bo's Ktichen, with passion for cooking at the Ohana Hale Marketplace in Honolulu on Oct. 2018 with a tiny booth and small menu, making Cantonese =comfort food, handmade dumplings, and noodle soups. In May 2021, a 2nd location was started at Pearlridge Shopping Center, but both locations closed due to building contracts. In May 2022, Bo found a spot on So. Beretania St, which is its current location, and with time and experience, its menu was expanded. Family-owned Bo's Kitchen's popular dishes include beef chow fun, Hainanese chicken rice, dumplings, and won ton noodle soups. It makes its chicken noodle broth from scratch, and its beef brisket is braised for five hours. We've tried these and agree that Chef Bo has done her best in offering her best dishes, and many are exactly how my mother used to make her won ton dumplings and variations. Until one day, I asked Chef Bo what she recommended as another dish that I try. She mentioned dumplings with a "peanut sauce" that had a sweet peanut, satah, hoi sin sauce blend on won tons and noodles. Yes, I tried it, and nope, could not finish it. Peanut butter sauce on won tons? Nope, you can't convince me that I'm missing out on something, because I'm not. Yes, something different, but not for me. The peanut sauce is sweet, rich, and savory. Chef Bo and Jeremy are very friendly owners who are willing to please. They will take time out to talk to you to get feedback. The small cozy restaura nt is bright and clean. Hours of operation are Mon to Sat 8:30a to 10:30p and Sun 10a to 9p. Free parking available in private lot that is shared with other businesses. We wish Chef Bo and Jeremy continued success in their family restaurant! We will return to try the many dishes of their menu. Support local!

    Beef brisket w/ rice

    Our 2nd trip to Bo's kitchen Here for a quick early dinner so parking wasn't a problem! Lots of seating available too. Ordered the beef brisket with rice- really tasty and beef really tender. We loved this dish - at 1st seeing the dish served with lettuce was a bit off put but it really was a nice addition. Will order it again Fried beef noodles- good but a bit too much sauce but the large pieces of beef was tasty and tender. Servers are really nice and we enjoyed our meal. We'll return soon to try more menu items. Their dumplings are excellent and can't wait to have it again!

    Unpretentious, bordering on "hole-in-the-wall" vibes but oh man the food is seriously DELICIOUS!! . Been three times this week and I'm still just getting started with their range of noodle and dumpling soups. Portions are generous, and every dish is hearty with depth of flavor. They clearly do a strong takeout business, too. People were constantly coming in to pick up food. Prices are fair for what you get. Parking is limited up front, but there's plenty of street parking nearby. Happy Eating!! 41

    Today, 04/20/26, I wanted to eat at Bo's Kitchen. This isn't my first visit. I have been here on several occasions and I enjoy the chicken jook. I even ordered take out of a small chicken jook to bring to my hospitalized family member. For our lunch, we ordered spring rolls, black bean beef chow fun and sesame balls. The chow fun came out first. It was hot and covered with too much black bean sauce, hence it was salty. The beef was tender but the sauce over powered the dish. 3/5 stars Then came the spring rolls and the sesame balls. The sesame balls were very hot but not fresh. Maybe it was previously frozen? The dough was oddly dry and not chewy. The black bean filling was alright. 3/5 stars Now onto the terrible spring rolls! Look at the photo and you decide what I nearly bit into! Ugh. 0/5 stars. An employee in the back of the kitchen area came forward when I approached our server with the dish. The employee (not our server) attempted to persuade me that it was either a bean or a piece of chili. She even squished it between her fingers to say it was soft. Yuck! No thank you. I had already taken a picture of the spring roll and asked Google what it was. I included Google's finding. She was concerned that I had a picture of it. I even let her take a screenshot of the picture and I showed her the Google results. Still she said it wasn't a bug. I leave the decision to our readers. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Restaurant seating area ambiance is pretty clean ( I did not see the kitchen) and interestingly the restaurant has jewelry for sale. Simple tables and chairs for patrons. Service was great until the spring rolls incident. And it didn't help that the employee kept denying that it was a bug. At least the restaurant did not charge us for the spring rolls. But now, I'm not sure I'll return again. I think if the restaurant had immediately acknowledged the situation, I would've been able to maybe accept this as a one time thing. But the employee's attitude and continued denial of anything wrong took this to another level. Service 1/5 stars. Limited free parking.

    Find them on social media!! Location at Ward and at PearlRidge

    Always fresh food- tasty!! Service is quick. Good made to order. Casual dining. Clean. Call ahead for larger seating

    Bo's Kitchen is a great spot for comforting, flavorful local-style meals. Their Hainan chicken rice is only $15, and the portion is generous definitely a lot of food for the price. The chicken is tender and juicy, paired perfectly with fragrant rice and tasty sauces that bring everything together. Everything feels simple but really satisfying, and you can tell the focus is on good value and comforting flavors rather than anything overly fancy. It's the kind of place you leave feeling full and happy. A solid go-to if you're craving Hainan chicken rice that hits the spot without breaking the bank.

    Egg tarts
    Kathleen S.

    Bo's kitchen is conveniently located on S. Beretania street across of the Honolulu police station. Parking is limited in front of the restaurant but there's more parking in the back on the 2nd floor but you would have to drive around the block to get to it. We frequent this place often and today we just came here for a quick bite and got the garlic fried chicken wings, pork hash, and egg tarts... they were all so good! Staff and service are always great!

    Cucumber salad with jellyfish
    Kanani C.

    Tried Bo's Kitchen after hearing many good reviews. Tried them when they were at Ohana Marketplace and wasnt too impressed, as I witnessed their cooking was via microwave. I was happy that their restaurant had late hours. Service was great, even though there was only 1 lady working; we went late so it was fine. Food came out fast. Prices were reasonable but dishes were on the saltier side (use of saltier sauces) and simplistic. Funn with mixed sauce and wonton - interesting combo with the peanut and hoisin (?l) sauce. Decent wonton. Could use less hoisin sauce. Fried buns with condensed milk - always yummy. Needs more condensed milk though. Green onion pancakes - decent but slightly greasy and not enough flavor. Sauce was a little odd. Cucumber salad with jellyfish - sauce was salty. Actually good if you shake off the excess (black) sauce. Garlic green bean - super salty sauce. Nice crunch though. Tofu salad - yummy! Love that the tofu is seasoned. Will be back if looking for late night, simple eats.

    Won ton soup (no noodles) 12 won tons, in a savory soup!
    Karen S.

    Stormy rainy days call for won ton soup, and their won tons and dumplings are handmade! Friends had the mapo tofu noodles, won ton with mixed noodles, and the funn with peanut sauce. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the staff gave us the mini Jin dui for dessert. Sadly, they had sold out of the egg tarts already! Brightly lit, with clean, spacious tables, loved my frequent water refills (thank you!), (and they provide keys to the restrooms upstairs), plus handmade shrimp chips, and even jewelry for sale! They also have laksa specials. Condiments are self serve along the service desk. Lots of walk ins and take out orders, the phone was ringing non stop!

    Parking is just right next to the building (ignore the reserved sign but look at the Bo's sign) and to the left (where the handicap stalls are). The other side is reserved Black bean chow fun was just ok. Chow fun noodles w sauce dumped on it. Vege chow fun didn't have much vege either. Hainese chicken was not as good as before

    Nice decor

    Happened upon this place as a recommendation from Yelp of course. We really want to try some Chinese food while visiting Hawaii and had a great meal at Bo's. I recall getting a good amount of food to the point where we brought it back to the AirBnB and had it for breakfast. We had the noodles, which were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The staff there were very nice but the elephant in the room. That parking is rough but it's not like I have not seen it before in HI. Never easy and absolutely a shock to visitors just trying to stop in. Overall pretty good place to hang out, I would come back next time, thanks Bo's!

    Custard tarts - look good but bottom of pastry was raw
    Andrea A.

    Added the beef chow funn to our usual order and were not disappointed. Lots of beef, well seasoned, and great wok hei - actually one of the better versions of this dish I've had in awhile. We also tried the mixed sauce wontons (as well as the mandatory spicy). It was sweet peanut satay sauce and a teriyaki/unagi type sweet glaze. Not bad but a bit sweet for my palette and I'll stick to the spicy. Lhaksa soup always num.

I typically dislike chicken wings at Asian restaurants like this but they really did their thing with the batter and sauce. The fried rice was a little plain but overall a nice balance to every meal.

Inside, the space feels busy with tables and people moving around. There are benches inside for those waiting for a table. We had to wait a bit before we were seated but they seemed efficient in ushering people in and out of the restaurant. The middle had smaller tables, which seemed most suitable for two people. The sides had larger tables for larger parties. The tables felt pretty close together but we enjoyed the stool/bench chairs we sat on. They were different than what we are used to in restaurants. Our order was taken quickly. We decided to get the beef chow fun, yang chow fried rice, and cheong fun. The cheong fun was good, especially after adding hoisin sauce. The texture was soft and the portion was quite decent. The chow fun was also yummy. It was tasty without being overbearing. The fried rice was our favorite. It was flavorful and included a variety of ingredients. The prices were not bad either, considering the portion sizes. We hope to be back one day to try more of what they have!

    Two weeks ago, I went to this place for dim sum. I ordered the steamed char siu buns and shrimp and…read morepork siu mai. The dim sum was made to order and came out piping hot. The steamed buns were kind of falling apart when I was holding one to eat it. The pork siu mai only had 3 pieces unlike other restaurants. They were still good. The big seafood restaurant was situated in Ala Moana Center but they didn't have any air conditioning at all. I was sweating while eating the hot dim sum.

    We came in for dim sum with our family. 2 adults 2 kids. We asked if they were still servicing dim…read moresum and were told last call for dim sum was in an hour and a half. This was perfect timing for us. However once seated, we had to ask for water 4 times, sauces twice, and waited a 10-15 minutes for someone to stop by and take our order. When someone did come to get our order they told us it was the only time we could order dim sum. This struck us as odd. We had mentioned that the hose explained it would be 1-1/2 hours until last call. They mumbled something at us out of what we felt was annoyance then stuck to this order being our last call for dim sum. We proceeded to order our entire meal quickly since we often eat at Chinese restaurants and generally know what we felt like eating for us and our kids. Around 3:30 (10 min or so after we ordered ) the server came back and told us they are out of 1/3 of what we ordered which included picking duck and look fun. Again very odd on a Sunday afternoon. So we kept what they did have available and continued to wait. At this point still waiting for our waters. As the sitting went on we observed a table who sat after us get their waters food and everything they asked for quickly. We waited almost 20 minutes for water and rice that we had to ask for multiple times. The rice still wasn't brought out until almost 30 minutes in, which was after 3 items from our order was brought out at very slow rates compared to other tables who we overheard ordering. We also needed to cancel our crispy noodles that we ordered for the kids as it was going on 45min and the last thing left on our order although it was the first item on our receipt and the first item requested. Overall the flavor of the food was good and the only reason I gave stars, however my family and I felt borderline discriminated against and service was very bad. I do not recommend this place for anything other than takeout.

Most of the steamed baskets were $7-$8. If you use your American Savings Bank debit card you get a discount: $7 off $50, $15 off $100 or $75 off $500. Free parking in the basement of the building.
