Walked in on a weekday at 9:30 am. Greeted by Shy who quickly took my order. All the side dishes look super Ono and I chose the Ginger fried rice and regular char siu fried rice My plate was a 2-choice, mushroom chix and string bean beef. Servings of everything are so huge that the plate can hardly close! Shy was friendly, kind and courteous as she filled the plate and smiled when I told her the plate would be feeding my 90 year old mom for a week :) Quick service, friendly atmosphere, Ono food, huge servings! Nothing better than that! Mahalo Shy! You made my morning! read more

Chun Wah Kam - String bean beef, mush zucchini chix, ginger fried rice, char siu fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

The staff here is always so pleasant, They all work efficiently to serve their customers. I come for their rice cake and add a few other items. Because all of it looks delicious! Their steamed rice cake is very delicious, if you haven't tried it. Order one or two on your visit there. Today 3/29/2026 there were steamed manapuas in pastel colors. In celebration of Easter. Very festive! Of course I had to get me not one but two manapuas. They were warm & soft. These fluffy buns are filled with a perfect amount of savory char siu pork. There's indoor seating-dining area is clean and well maintained. Upon entering there may or not be a line. Be sure to stand in that line if you'll be placing an order or picking up your preorder. Parking can be a bit challenging depending on the time you're there. However, there is ample parking stalls so eventually you'll get parking. Easter is this Sunday 4/5/2026 and if you're looking for something to bring to your gathering/potluck. Pick up some of these festive pastel Manapuas. read more

Update - Finally got my half moon! Went earlier in the morning and ordered a quart of zucchini, mushrooms, chicken to take to a party. Usually I LOVE chicken mushrooms/zucchini elsewhere but I was disappointed because there wasn't much flavor and the chicken was a little tough. Won't get this again. However, also ordered steamed char siu Bao and this time I got my Half moons! Bao was delicious as ever. Will continue to order this! Half moon was different from traditional Chinese dim sum places but was very tasty. Plenty of shredded char siu and less veggies than most half moons. I prefer more crunchy veggies but would get this again. Still a place I would continue to patronize. read more

I can't speak for the location itself as I did not enter the store front. This review only reflects the quality of the food, and what I tried was delicious! I hear this location is always busy which is a good sign. I tried; Pork Hash - stuffed with a lot of pork and a thin layer of noodle holding all that delicious pork in. Crispy Kau Gee - deep fried wonton style wrapped meat of deliciousness. I was told it usually comes with a dipping sauce that is also very tasty although unfortunately the sauce was not placed in our order. They have multiple locations on island and definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

After going to their Ala Moana location, I had to come to another to see if it was true. The size of their manapua have been reduced! They taste the same but the size of their baked char siu and baked hot dog are smaller now and the char siu is not filled as much as before. This is disappointing. Inside was bright and clean. The girl was friendly and quick to take my order. I ordered for pick up at a later time. I may infrequently come back to Chun Wah Kam after finding out about their size difference. read more

First impressions are lasting impressions! First time to this Chun Wah Kam, and the last time I went to one of their places must have been over 8+ years ago at the Ala Moana location. Nice, that one has breathing room as a floor sign says to wait at this point until called, as there are other customers already choosing their selections of what they want to have. Even while standing in line, the smiles and one on one interaction for that personal touch stood out! The smiles i saw lasted from once you get called to completion=== very, very good signs that the owners of this company want to show that this sincerity will only bring back the customers for future purchases! A win-win for both parties! Odd to me as this was my first time here and to the close immediate right were the entrees and at the far back were the starches. Stupid me, thinking what? they will put the entrees on the plate first? No, they don't they will call you to the back to select your starch choices which i did, choosing their so called two starches of ginger fried rice and chow funn. *Their website is more accurate as it states 'UP TO two starches' than the signage up above the counters ... I asked her if there was any spicy entree available... she said their really ONLY spicy dish would be their spicy garlic chicken, but the cook had not made them today... Shucks, and I heard about this one entree to get! Then we walked over to the entrees' section and i was curious about the taste of that fried fish i saw with jalapenos, green and red bell peppers... she gave me a fork and napkin (a napkin!) to taste it... I liked it so i chose it... along with the beef with long beans in black bean sauce...there were many others that made my mouth water... but I need to get through these two first to see if they will be repeat entrees of mine! Their 3-compartment plate lunch container is a hybrid of more soft cardboard which will de-compose quicker and good for them thinking about the future (yes, as it is a mild hybrid container, it shows sagging compared to what most other places NOW use)! She was very nice in suggestive selling of their other products ... asking me if i needed manapua, dim sums, pork hash... I told her why yes, I wanted to try that 'spicy pork hash' that was posted on the wall to the right as we waited in line... She apologized but said they don't have it in yet as it comes from their Kalihi St. location... Oh, wonder if that is their central kitchen location as I know this is where Chun Wah started out way in the beginning. I told her that's all right, nothing else for me... They were seating on both sides of the entry that can seat at least 30 persons... the modern, interior warm lighting was welcoming for diners eating inside being not overly bright with day-time lighting, nor dim. My early lunch filled my stomach well... deeliciousssss! I would select that beef with long beans in black bean sauce again, but up in the air about the fish...perhaps they should mix the entree inside of its chafer pans ever so often so the sauce will mix with all pieces of the fish, etc and so the flavor will be more. The ginger fried rice was very aromatic and with its strong ginger taste that some may not like. The chow funn was slightly bland and in need of some dashi flavoring or something else to make the noodle dish 'pop' ! *The finishing transaction with the smile by her as she handed my change and receipt and thanking me --- i consider their *customer service* to be 5 stars alone! If this matters to you, their chopsticks they provide is of a longer in length and highER quality along with the provided four (4) good quality thickER napkins! Yes, i have seen other reviews by others about bad service, bad bland taste of entrees, etc... but today... today... when I WAS THERE about 9:40am today, Tuesday the 28th ... reigned SUPREME, hence all the stars colliding provided me with more than a pleasant meal and service... this is why 'I' give it a high four (4) stars ! read more

I haven't been here for years. Now I know why. The sui mai - ugh - not how I remember. The wrapper just fell off in one piece for each one. The half moon is now a round ball that is hard and filled with char sui. The kalua pig bao is in the freezer. We were too afraid to eat it that day. Staff was friendly. Prices have gone up. I miss Char Hung Sut in Chinatown.... read more

Chun Wah Kam - Char siu garlic chicken and chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

We were craving Chun Wah Kam grinds. Hit up the Pearl City location for baked manapua, crispy gau gee, and the plate noodles, beef broccoli and roast pork. It was so busy and they were already out of Half moon and other island favorites. Line was long, but it service was efficient so it moved very fast. The parking is also hectic during the holidays. read more

I have been going to Chun Wah Kam for many years and several times a month! Today I had the greatest experience, I met IMAI! Employer should be so very proud of an employee like him! He has the best SMILE and personality! He makes the food taste even better than it does! I have been served at restaurants all over the US, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, NAPA VALLEY but I have never come across a worker or waiter like IMAI! KUDOS TO CHUN WAH KAM FOR HIRING SUCH AN AMAZING YOUNG MAN! read more

Food is delicious, i've been a customer for over a decade. However not too long ago i found roach parts in my manapua. I could distinctly tell because of its hairy legs and also found a long string that turned out to be its antenna !! We immediately called the place telling them about our issue, not even for a refund but the person on the line just laughed it off and told their co-workers "this guy just wants a refund!!" while we were still on the line and heard laughter from them. It was very disrespectful and we received no refund. We will no longer be a customer, and from reaching out about this, a lot of other people shared their experience with me so it wasn't the "luck of the draw". read more

They are the go to for manapua, pork hash, and noodles! The only thing is they ran out of mustard/shoyu when I ordered a lot of pork hash for an office function None the less, I highly recommend Chan Wah Kam! read more

Stopped in for lunch and our family had recommended this shop and location to our long time family friends from the mainland. It was a bit of an interesting experience and felt the need to elaborate a bit more. First we loved the fact that it wasn't just for take out and that they had a dine in seating option. And secondly known for its Manapua and fresh noodles and plate lunches here we knew that our friends would thoroughly enjoy this meal. The food itself is great! Everything cooked and baked fresh and absolutely delicious. It's a local favorite and we love it. The interesting part came with the fact that although we got a big table to accommodate all of our party ready to feast and enjoy, we were a bit shocked to learn that they do not carry any plates. Yes that's correct...no plates. But yet there is Dine in service? So now we were left with trying to figure out how to split all of our side orders which we ordered a lot of to share with everyone and also eat in. It may seem a bit trivial but it is a bit concerning if plates are not available just because we order all side ala carte orders instead of full plate lunches. They were unable to provide us the take out plate lunches containers although spending well over $100 on all of the meal and to be honest it was a bit disappointing. The employee whom we appreciated tried to accommodate their no plates available rule and we all together configured a plan of using the clear small manapua paper square that you use to grab the manapua with to eat as plate alternates. We placed them directly on the table and put our rice, noodles fish pork hash all on the little squares. The ambiance overall is good but it felt a little weird & I'm sure the visitors to Hawaii noticed too. Would love to promote the delicious food more as the Garlic fish along with the noodles and pork hash and steamed charsiu manapua are my favorites not only at this location but others as well read more

Stopped in for some steamed manapua, pork hash & two plate lunch. Everything was delicious & very generous portions. So much food, we had enough for four people & two meals! Hong Kong style noodles, ginger chicken fried rice, pork eggplant & garlic chicken were my favorites. The steamed manapua and pork hash had a lot of stuffing and was delicious! Will have to wait for the food coma symptoms to subside before going to try some other options. Fast and friendly service too! read more

Mana oh man! I haven't gone to Chun Wah Kam in years! We were hungry after walking around the swap meet and I really wanted some Mana Pua. We stopped at Chun Wah Kam on the way home. They only had steamed Char siu Mana pua left and a handful of flavors of the minis. So I ordered 4 regular steamd plus a few sweet potato and kalu pig minis too. Had to also add in a bunch of pork hash and gau gee too! Although everything by the each is decent in price, it can add up pretty quickly when buying for multiple people and ordering when you're really hungry! Lol. Service is super fast and friendly, and very helpful. Most people just come here to take food out, but there are a few tables available to dine in too. Next time I come, I need to remember to add some steamed rice cake to my order. read more

Went memorial day at 11am. Half the items were sold out. The roast pork and salt pepper fish was old, tasted like it was cooked and left out from previous day or days. The sweet sour fish tasted like coca cola. The eggplant pork was good. Charsiu dry. Manapua good. Most of the food looked like crap. Ive gone there when food was good amd fresh so i know the difference. read more

Been coming here for ever since I grew up in Hawaii. I had to show my daughter this spot and she wasn't disappointed. She just wanted to sample the hotdog Manapua and she liked it. It's a hot dog with a backed sweet bread around it. Trust me it's delicious! They have the best manapuas around especially their pork hash. We ordered almost everything before we boarded our flight. Best thing is, they will wrap it up for you to take on your flight home. Best service ever! read more

I haven't been to this location in many years, and am not usually the one who orders, so I was a little overwhelmed by how busy it was. I didn't get the worker's name, but the receipt says Xierra (so I hope this is the actual worker who helped me). She was so patient, helpful, and kind. 10/10 service. Thank you so much, Xierra!! The food was great and I'm glad to see they are busy! The eggplant tofu, ginger chicken fried rice, chow fun, and orange chicken did not disappoint. The pork hash is always a solid choice, and the custard tarts were delicious. Will definitely be back - hopefully on a day they have pastele manapua! read more

The most beautiful orange box around the islands.... move over pink box! We love Chun Wah Kam and I know others do too because there's ALWAYS a long line that can go out the door when we go here. There are several locations throughout the islands, but this one is the most convenient even though the parking can be very difficult! They also have plate lunch, but I have not had an opportunity to eat these so I cannot speak to these items, but the a la carte dim sum items (manapua) is sooo good. We typically buy a huge box of JUST steamed manapua (char siu). I have not had the mini manapua (flavored) but I want to try these next time. We also love the crispy kau gee (a little oily, but that's OK), pork hash, and the rice cakes (which sell out fast). FYI- they take card, but they check ID "100%" so make sure you have it handy Pro tip- go early as some of their most popular items run out fast! read more

Order online and pickup is quick! There's no additional fee when ordering online either. At $14 per plate with up to 2 choices of starch and up to 2 choices of entree, nobody beats it! The plates are loaded to the top and more than enough for for 2 big meals. Ginger chicken fried rice and chow fun are my go-to starches. The entree options are great for any palate. Just remember this is Chinese fast food not fine dining. Best bang for your buck! read more

Today was an excellent day for choosing to come here to pick up food. There was no line and the employee that helped me was very efficient and thoughtful. After she made my plate and asked me how many chopsticks and hot mustard she asked if I wanted a bag. First time a worker placed the container of food with the sides taped in a clear plastic bag with the napkins and chopsticks on the top. No spill, no mess. Anything else? Hot dog, pork hash and half moon. Sorry, no half moon today. She was so pleasant. I paid 35 cents for the carry out brown paper bag with handles. Such an efficient employee. When I turned around to exit, whoa the line was to the door. Love those times when you're at the right place at the right time. read more

Good Manapua and food choices. Staff always friendly and helpful. Always busy, but quick service.

I had very low expectations when I visited this location. I have been back 3 times since. I went for the manapua. I got the baked char siu manapua, some pork hash, and a hot plate. The first two times I visited, there wasn't a line. The staff was very polite and patient (more than I'm use to at other establishments on island). The establishment was properly lit, and looked well maintained. I went around lunch time on a Friday and the line was to the door. I tasted the Filipino influence and some other things. I believe I tasted eel sauce or sesame oil on one of the dishes in my hot plate. They gave me so much food for the price. I'll definitely be back. read more

They still serve tasty food. I usually go for the wrappers but can't help taking home something whether Manapuas, variety of fried rice, fried noodles or some kind of dish. Lines are very long but they know how to move it along, place is clean, even a place to sit if you can't wait! Phone orders are welcomed. Might want to try calling in if time is an issue, otherwise it's worth the wait. read more

I ordered a small pan of saimin noodles. Picked it up a little after 12 and went hope sitting in the warmer for 1 hour opened it up and it was spoiled.

Went to Chun Wah Kam today it's been a minute fr but nevertheless they're always busy so many people came in for pick up's and the never ending choices honestly my favorite is the Hong Kong chow mein! The orange chicken was alright honestly a bit disappointed in the flavor not really orange tasting ah it used to taste better years before but still I'd come back I also had a chance to sample the sweet sour fish, NOW that's a winnah! So delicious The staff were helpful and had smiles while serving numerous of people! The overall aesthetic of the place is decent normal seating and some paintings around the place, very spacious. read more

Food was delicious. Our plate was super packed. So packed I could split into 2 and had a whole other plate from the main one we ordered. Service was ok, a little on the slow side as they had to share Point of sale system with everyone else. It was crowded but we were in and out in a timely manner. Ambiance has seating, there is a wait to order. Stand in line and they will assist. We also ordered manapua, pork hash, gau gee, and half moon(pepeiao if your ok sku). Everything was delicious!

Our ohana would always buy from the Waimalu location however, in the past several days we have noticed that the quality of food has gone down. We don't know if it's a new cook but our recent pan order of their beef and broccoli was so disappointing and highly embarrassing for us. We decided to bring their beef and broccoli to an informal local style gathering and so dismayed when we brought it out. The meat looked very old looking (no color; just pasty), there wasn't any seasoned taste to it and the broccoli was so overcooked, not crunchy at all and there hardly was any gravy!! Our host was tempted to make some gravy but didn't want to hurt our feelings. Side note: she should've because it possibly would have spiced up the flavor. Then this past Saturday, we were gifted with their huge box of baked manapua. Now we like their manapua (altho other family members think there's too much bread than meat) but this dozen of manapua was so darn salty. We seriously couldn't eat it. Now some of you might think with age the amount of salt differs, and you're correct, but between my hubby and I (in our 60's), our son and daughter (in their 20's), we all concurred that it was absolutely too salty. I wish we took pictures of the beef and broccoli but we didn't. So we're going to have to say aloha to Chun Wah Kam and find somewhere else to get our manapua fixes and catered trays from. Thank you for all the years that we did support you and continued good luck. read more

I only come here to buy two items that I call at least a day or more in advance every year to pick up pending on occasion and my audience preference: 2 lbs - 5 lbs raw chow mein 2 lbs - 5 lbs raw fried saimin 2 lbs = 1 (one) 9" x 13" pan I love to create my own sauce, add in my own seasonings and toppings, bake these delicious oodles of noodles, keep it warm in the oven till I'm ready to leave home for a party. Five stars for having these fresh noodles available. Five stars for superb customer service. Five stars for separate line of phone orders/pick up, lights, and easy to read signage. I'm not a fan of their manapua (char siu bao), pork hash, various fried rice, and premade orders even though I've tried it from my husband, funerals and parties. My hubby joked that I'm a grinch because I cringe when I see red and green colored manapua during Christmas and winter season. Kudos to the staff for their creativity. I gravitate toward traditional Chinese food. That's my preference. If this location is super busy via phone order, be sure to leave your first name, pick up date and time. Business is pumping with never ending two lines of customers and plethora of staff taking care of to go orders. Thank you for selling what I'm looking for without having to drive into Chinatown. read more

Thought I'd put this out there...ordered their steamed manapuas twice in 2 weeks and there was an intense "chemical" smell each time. The first time last week, the manapuas tasted okay but the "chemical" smell was off-putting and mildly affected the taste. The second time purchased this week (2nd try), the chemical smell altered the taste of the manapua. The manapua smelled like heated plastic and tasted like it, as well. It felt safer to toss the remaining baos. However, the plate lunch I ordered was ono and smelled like real food, not heated plastic and chemicals. read more
