    Shrimp and chives dumplings
    Vivian L.

    Located in Chinatown Cultural Plaza where Seasons Ice and Eatery used to be, Daji Spicy Pavilion has renovated and opened up. The interior looks nice. It's a fairly small restaurant. The tables quite big, could seat 4-5 guest. It takes up a lot of space. When this place gets busy I can see some guests walking away since the wait can be long. Braised beef brisket noodles: Very good mala flavor. This bowl is pretty spicy. I got the rice noodles. It was thick and was very good with the spicy broth. The beef was good. Soft and tender. It would be nice to have tendon as well. Their pickled vegetables in the broth were good. Compliments well with the spiciness. Spicy chicken dry noodles: This dish is also quite spicy. Very good flavor. I got the tricky noodles. It was chewy and good. The spicy chicken comes in boneless or bone-in. I got boneless and it was alright. I was more into the noodles. However it would be nice if they could make this dish with other proteins such as beef instead of chicken. Shrimp and chives dumplings: The dumplings are steamed or boiled. It was very good and flavorful. The meat was juicy. The dumplings were soft and the skin was thin but didn't rip apart easily. This goes well with vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. Overall, a very good spicy noodle place. I do wish they have more variety of appetizers to go with the noodles. The menu on the Q code and the paper menu have different names which makes it's very confusing. Service can be quite slow. It gets slower if the place is busy since there only one person working in the front.

    Guizhou Picked Radish
    Andy F.

    "A taste of China" is all I needed to hear. Let's welcome Daji Spicy Pavilion to the Chinatown Cultural Plaza! Located in the same spot where Seasons used to be, right side from the main stage, near Tak Wah Tong. Daji specializes in Guizhou cuisine! A first for Hawaii and a huge welcome! The province is in between Sichuan and Hunan, so it does bring the spice! Authentic Sichuan is about the numbing and spicy, and Guizhou is about sour and spicy. The inside is very clean, bright, open, and comfortable. It even has its personally lighting spelling out "DAJI". I quite appreciate all the condiments on the table. The vinegar and homemade chili sauce are quite good and tasty. Also love the fact that they have MSG available too! It just adds more authenticity to this place. You order via QR code with the Toast app. First visit we had the Signature Dish Spicy Chicken (soup). This was simple and delicious. The pork bone broth was hearty with good flavor. My first thought after the first spoon was, "this tastes right". The signature chicken was excellent! Tender, solid flavors, and uses all the parts of the chicken. I wish it had more! The chili packs a punch after the first bite and enjoyed it more and more as I continued eating. For the noodles, you can choose between rice vermicelli (thick style), thin or thick noodles, or ramen. Also, add $1 for larger size bowl. The Boiled Dumplings were really good. It looks and feels like homemade. The wrapper had just the right amount of chewiness and thickness. The filling was tasty and flavorful with nice chunks of shrimp and chives. This is the right way! I enjoyed the Guizhou Pickled Radish very much. It was similar to the Japanese pickled radish, but better (and not yellow). The radish had a balance between savory, sour, and sweet. There was one thing I was curious of, Daji offers Fish Mint Root (折耳根). We asked about it, and you need to order in advance. They grow it at their home, and only digs it out of the ground the day before if someone orders it in their WeChat group chat. Cool! My wife says it's very fishy and strong from her experience. The lady who works there was so kind to let us try some! It was a pickled version, and it's just made for themselves to eat and not from the regular preparation. I liked it! They should add it on the menu, or make it available to order! It definitely had the suan-la sour-spicy. Not fishy at all! Second visit, we had the Casserole Sour Soup Beef Shank. The broth was delicious and spot on. This is true to its cuisine: sour and spicy--beef and tomato-y--balanced really well.The beef shank was ultra thin and tender. Just a solid bowl of noodle soup with authentic flavors. Next we tried the wontons. The way it's prepared and presented is authentic that also has a homey feel. The wontons were prepared very well with a thin wrapper that held its shape. The filling was tasty and had a nice amount of pork and shrimp. The soup was spot on! Tasted right and the addition of the dried seaweed, tiny dried shrimp, scallion and cilantro just gave it a homey feel because that's how it's made! Now for what I've been waiting for, the fish mint root (折耳根) prepared Guizhou style - sour and spicy! Oh, the first bite was a hit! It's definitely the chili pepper seeds that packs the punch. I liked the fish mint root and I'm happy to try something new. It wasn't fishy or overly strong for me. Maybe it's more tame with Hawaii's earth and climate? I'll find out in the future! Overall, I enjoyed my experiences at Daji Spicy Pavilion. It's awesome to have a new Chinese cuisine offered here. Hope there's more to come! The food is prepared very well and the flavors and tastes are spot on. You can see and feel the care and devotion into everything to make it as authentic as possible. The lady working there is so nice and friendly too! As you may or may not know, I do not like cilantro in Chinese cuisines (acceptable in other cuisines). I find it strong and overpowering. But for some weird reason, the cilantro prepared at Daji was not just acceptable, but very good! The taste was subtle and added a really nice herbaceous, peppery flavor to the dishes. Is this how it's supposed to taste like? I'll definitely be back to try more things!

    Beef Brisket Soup
    Kristina C.

    We heard about Daji from a friend and thought we try it out! Firstly, I want to say these bowls COME OUT SUPER HOT. If you were to take a sip of the broth once it's served to you, you'd probably burn your tongue. While that sounds bad it's actually a good thing. We were eating for a good 20 minutes and both of our soups were still SUPER HOT. Anyways, the Beef Brisket Soup was an 8/10! The meat is soft and tender, the noodles were nice and bouncy, and the broth is rich but light at the same time. Personally, I gave this an 8 because I wish the beef came braised. Like a braised brisket beef soup, but they didn't have anything like that. So I ended up taking some of my partners braised brisket and it was SO GOOD. I would definitely come back!

    Crunchy cui shao noodles (no soup)
    Catherine W.

    I feel so bad for my weak Cantonese stomach because I will be coming to Daji for more spicy noodles from now on! I don't know much about Guizhou cuisine I only know their famous Maotai wine lol. And there were a few items on the menu that we didn't really know what they were even though we could read Chinese. The staff was very helpful and explained everything clearly! So now I know ruan shao is pork belly and cui shao is fried pork belly! So we got the braised beef brisket noodles and crunchy cui shao ramen. Both were so spicy but good! So much flavors exploded in my mouth. I was sweating from the spice yet slurping the noodles at the same time. And the spice level was acceptable it wasn't that extreme. They also have a kids menu serving noodles with minced meat which my daughter loved so much! Not to mention they have a very very nice high chair problem one of the nicest ones I have seen in any restaurants! I love their ordering system so you can personalize your dish and that you can just pay in the app as well. It was very convenient. It's a small restaurant so it can get busy but please come visit them in cultural plaza! You won't regret making a trip here!

    This was really yummy but had a lot of cartilage/fat so be aware if you're not used to that lol. The soup was really yummy and cilantro-y. I loved the freshness of the soup. I got the thick noodles but the ramen noodles looked more bouncy. Very comforting.

    Beef Shank Soup (non-spicy) with added choysum
    Kylie T.

    Daji Spicy Pavillion opened up in Seasons old spot in the Chinese Cultural Plaza in the inner courtyard area. They've remodeled the interior and fixed it up with new but still limited seating and AC! (Thank goodness!). The menu boasts a bunch of different options that I'll be honest - half of which I have no idea what it is! Some of the translation is spotty in the menu. But the server is polite and explains it well. My coworker opted to go for the big bowl beef shank noodle soup with ramen noodles. The taste was good. Light, flavorful, and we added a little bit of this and that from the condiment platter at the table. I had the Cui-Shao noodle soup with ramen noodles. And my coworker convinced me to upgrade to a big bowl even though I was worried I wouldn't finish. We both got choy sum which elevated the dish as I felt the greens were helpful to add in texture and flavor. (Maybe to make me feel more healthy about my eating decisions too!) The dumplings were very good and served with cabbage. We used the vinegar which was on the sweet side and some soy sauce to dip. Not sure if that's the proper way to eat these but the taste was great and for a single order you get 12 pieces! My favorite thing about this place though? The Online Toast ordering so I can pre-select all of my adjustments and add-on. The pictures also make it so much easier to place an order and figure out what exactly I want. I would love to see an improvement in the item descriptions to know exactly what is what/what is included. Will definitely make my way back here!

    Daji is located at the old Seasons Taiwanese Eatery. There're around 6 tables. Place is clean and staffs are very friendly. In order to place and pay your order, you have to scan the QR code on the table. Noodles type: thinner noodles/thick noodles/Rice Noodles and Vietnamese noodles. Five Spice Braised Beef Brisket Noodles - 10/10, the beef brisket was very tender and flavorful. Not too spicy! Casserole Clay Pickle Cabbage Beef Brisket Noodles - 10/10. Rich flavors and spicy! Signature Beef Tendon Noodles - 7/10. One of the non-spicy items. The tendon was melted in the mouth. Overall I'll definitely come back. Delicious noodles!

    Today I got to try the Spicy Beef Broth and it was tasty. Also, the service was friendly and helpful.

    红烧麻辣牛腩

    湯頭清爽卻不單薄,帶點微微辣油提味,喝起來暖胃又順口。麵條Q彈有嚼勁,餛飩皮薄餡嫩,搭配蔥花和海帶絲,層次豐富又清香,是那種會讓人一口接一口的舒服味道 醬汁拌得很均勻,鹹香夠味,麵條彈牙不軟爛。滷肉肥瘦適中、入口帶點膠質感,花生和蔥花增添口感與香氣,整體濃郁又不膩,超有滿足感。 一清爽一濃郁,搭配得剛剛好,感覺這餐吃完會很幸福。

    Spicy tendon soup
    Bryan G.

    Amazing small restaurant with excellent food. Their beef tendon jumps out of the bowl with that strong aromatic tasr. Lots of tendon chopped up tender and chewy.You might have to drink A lot of water . Will try other dishes.. Great service by their attentive staff.

    I was walking around Chinatown for some groceries and saw this restaurant. I enjoy spicy foods and their menu looks like they have spicy noodles. The spicy braise beef noodles is good. The broth is spicy and flavorful. Their noodles and meats were cooked well. The meat is very good, tender and soft.

    Daji Spicy Pavilion sits in the old Seasons Fire & Ice spot in Chinatown Plaza, and it feels like a restaurant that was dropped into the plaza fully formed from a back alley in Chengdu--rough edges and all. It's not trying to be more than it is, and in a way, that's part of the appeal The menu, or at least the version of it that we could understand with some help from the very patient server, offers a bunch of noodle dishes--wet, dry, thick, thin. The thick noodles were the most satisfying for me: chewy, toothsome, and better at absorbing the flavors from whatever sauce or oil they were bathed in. The thin ones, which I guess are supposed to be the highlight, felt a bit underwhelming by comparison, maybe just too subtle for my Western palate The smashed cucumbers on the side were crisp and cold with just enough garlic and vinegar to make you keep reaching for more, but even that didn't push things into "must return soon" territory. Prices, portions, and taste all hovered around "fine," which is another way of saying that nothing really pushed the experience into anything beyond a quiet curiosity. A weak 4 stars, mostly for the effort and authenticity, not because I'm rushing back

    Signature beef brisket

    You can eat traditional Chinese noodles / rice noodles over here -- highly recommend!!! The broth is super flavorful, the noodles are bouncy and fresh, and the toppings are so satisfying. If you're not sure what to get, go for a classic beef noodle or a spicy rice noodle (add extra chili if you like heat). I'd totally come back again.

And yes, now I will absolutely be thinking about them often. If you think you know cake noodles because you've had Cantonese noodles before, Lee Ho Fook in Honolulu's Chinatown is here to humble you. I was definitely humbled. Tucked along the canal in Chinatown, Lee Ho Fook Restaurant is one of those cozy little neighborhood spots where the tables are close, the room is snug, and the noodles do all the talking. My Honolulu homies, twinsie "Auntie" Nadine C. and Cycle Buddy Randy S., brought me here for noodles and I'm eternally grateful they did. We ordered the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, tossed noodles with choi sum and won ton, plus a side of ong choy. Every plate understood the assignment. As an Arizona girl, I had never had minute chicken or cake noodles before and fully assumed they'd be in the same lane as Cantonese noodles. Yelpers, I was wrong. Delightfully wrong. Cake noodles are a Cantonese classic but the magic is all in the texture: pan-fried until golden and crisp on the outside, while the center stays soft enough to soak up all that glossy savory sauce. It's the best of both noodle worlds - crispy and chewy. A true textural delight. The Minute Chicken Cake Noodles were the star for me. That contrast between the crispy edges and soft middle was wildly satisfying, and the chicken was silky, savory, and exactly the kind of comfort food that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening. The tossed noodles with choi sum and won ton were equally comforting in a more classic, no-fuss way, and the ong choy was the perfect green side dish that was garlicky, fresh, and necessary. Lee Ho Fook is small, comforting, and exactly the kind of place you want when what you really need is a bowl of something delicious and humble. Come hungry, bring a few friends, and order the cake noodles.

    They moved across the street 3 weeks ago. Free Parking is underneath so covered. The dim sum was…read moredelicious as expected! The service is amazing! They didn't rush us like most restaurants with their 90 minutes time limit. They brought out the food quickly and efficiently. Refilled our water and tea without us asking. Very accommodating when we had special requests. Some of my favorites are the green beans, egg tarts, onion pancakes, and beef chow fun. Highly recommended especially for delicious, authentic Chinese Food!

    KSR moved fr its long time location on Kapiolani to Amanu. It was time to hit up this old skool…read morespot for dim sum. We ordered pork hash, manapua, har gow, spring rolls, pickled cucumbers ($12.95) and a platter of char siu & duck. The dim sum was about $8/each, which I thought was very reasonable. My buddy really likes siao mai, and he said KSR has the best ones out of the places I have brought him to in HNL. On the other hand, the manapua was just okay: The ratio of meat to bao was low. I took char siu fr the platter and added it to the bao. We might have been better off skipping the baos and ordering a rice or noodle plate. The har gow and spring rolls were pretty good. The rolls arrived piping hot, and the har gow had a nice texture in the wrapper. Fourthly, the cucumber was fresh & crunchy, and had lots of garlic. I ate some with the char siu to cut thru the fat. Lastly, the char siu & duck platter was very good. They do a good job of putting some char on the bbq pork. The duck was tasty, but there were a couple of bony pieces. Regarding the ambiance, its big in here. Although they don't use carts, the aisles are wide. The servers were friendly & warm. I would def return for dim sum, but I also want to come for dinner. The food is very good, and the prices are reasonable.
