    Beef broccoli
    Jared D.

    Ok hi girlies and friends The bad: let me preface by saying it was a full house. That being said it made sense that it took at least 20-25 minutes to get our first dish. Also I wish they had enough ice to keep the water in the pitchers cold. Meh. Next time I'll just bring a hydro flask. Also the only bathroom is a one stall that makes you take a journey from the dining area, thru the kitchen and down a short hall. Alas I'm a whimsical betch and enjoyed the open house embarkment The good: good service. Friendly. Attentive. For the most part. Restaurant was clean with food ambiance. We got the following dishes: house fried rice, beef broccoli, pot stickers and sesame bread The HFR was interesting with a veggie medley of corn, carrots, green beans, green onion and slivers of onion. It also had lup cheong, shrimp and I think pork. I'd maybe get it again if I didn't want just plain white rice The potstickers. Great taste but no potstickers sauce that I'm used to getting with dishes such as and therefore as gyoza. Alas a concoction of shoyu vinegar and chili paste (?) that was available to us on the table sufficed. The filling was a yummy nugget of pork and chunk of shrimp. Great wrapper too. The texture made me think it was made in house. Beef broccoli was also yums. Broccoli still has crunch while not fearing I'd break a tooth. Beef was juicy and tender. Great flavor. Sesame bread. My cumpanion suggested getting it after reading reviews from other attendees. It was interesting. It was giving pita bread but hot and Asian with white and black sesame seeds. I'd say get it but use it as a vessel to sop up grave from other dishes. Would go again

    This place is pretty fabulous! The food is amazing and fresh and so good. The orange chicken is incredible!! Soup dumplings wonderful! Honestly everything was so good. All served family style and decent portions, the orange chicken could have a larger portion since it was family style. Service was fast. They are very friendly and so nice. You will most likely need a reservation. It gets packed. There is no parking, so you will have to go down the street across the Chic Fila in the public parking. It also fills up fast. So just prepared to get street parking and walk there. This place is quaint and has 8 tables so be patient, and make sure to get there early and hope you can sit and eat!

    JanJian Noodles $10. Sooooo good.

    An unpretentious small hole-in-the-wall that's been serving solid Northern Chinese style food with generous portions for over 30 years. Hits: The xiao long bao had a wonderful burst of umami rich broth with tender pork inside. Warm and comforting. The dough a bit thick for my taste. The crispy duck was absolutely spot on. Crackling skin with juicy, succulent, meat. Drew rave accolades from my Shanghainese sister-in-law. My favorite the clams in black bean sauce . I usually prefer smaller clams, and these were on the larger side, but they nailed the sauce. Perfect balance of sweet, salty, and that unmistakable black bean funk. Spoon that sauce over white rice and let me have a moment to myself. Miss: The cold ginger chicken. Good flavors but a bit dry. Good friendly service. There's a small parking lot on the side of the restaurant that can hold about 8 cars. Happy Eating!!

    Just tried this small mom and pop restaurant as was pleasantly surprised on how good some of their dishes were. Not everything was on point but overall it was a good meal. The best things we ate were the orange chicken and pork eggplant. The dumpling soup was a little bland, crispy lamp chops were tasty but a little too oily for my liking. Shanghai dumplings were good. I would like to try here again and try some of their other dishes.

    Both times I've ordered Uber Eats from this place has been horrible unfortunately. My partner, my mom, and I ordered from here on Christmas and it was really bad. First, it took nearly 2 hours (uber eats driver's fault, not there's) and when we go it everything was cold and soggy. Our pan fried pork buns were incredibly soggy and somehow WET and mushy also. And our orange chicken had NO ORANGE SAUCE. It was dry. My mom and partner got really bad food poisoning from it afterwards. I will say it was quite late when we ordered it so it may have been the last of what was left, but I don't think that should excuse it. The best thing was the fried rice but it was really basic fried rice. Nothing special. Lowkey ruined our Christmas a bit. Their menu LOOKS so good but the execution is so horrible. Idk if the dine in experience here is different but it should be consistent even with take out. Especially if I'm paying MORE.

    My good friend and I love coming here after a day at HoMa. It's the perfect place for an early dinner. she loves the beef over crispy fried noodles, and I love the chicken and mushrooms. Mmm so tasty and comforting! Service is so Aloha. I love this place every time and cannot wait to come back very soon. I think they take reservations but you can sometimes walk in when they first open.

    Dew Drop Inn is such a solid spot when you're craving homestyle Northern Chinese dumplings and comfort dishes in Honolulu, and this visit definitely reminded me why it's a local favorite. We started with the boiled dumplings, and they were exactly what I wanted: chewy, handmade wrappers with a juicy, flavorful filling that tasted fresh, not greasy or heavy. The Shanghai vegetable buns were a standout too--fluffy, slightly chewy dough with a savory veggie interior that felt hearty but still light enough that you keep reaching for "just one more." The egg drop soup hit that simple comfort-food lane: silky egg ribbons in a clean, lightly seasoned broth that paired nicely with all the doughy, carb-y dishes on the table. The spicy chicken dumplings brought the heat and ended up being my favorite of the night--tender filling with a nice kick from the chili oil and seasoning, bold without blowing out your palate. It's the kind of plate you keep circling back to between bites of everything else. Service is casual but efficient, and the whole place still has that tiny, slightly old-school vibe that matches their reputation for dumplings, buns, and noodles. Overall, Dew Drop Inn continues to be a must-visit when I'm craving comforting dumplings and Shanghai-style bites in town, and I'd gladly come back just for the veg buns and spicy chicken dumplings alone.

    Best Chinese/Taiwanese food I've had in a long time! [Location] This unassuming gem is located on Beretania near Chick-fil-a. There are very limited parking spots to the left-hand side of the restaurant entrance. Drive with caution as there are people that walk by and the space is narrow. You can also park at a metered spot, but be mindful of the time you park and cost. I believe the restaurant has a restroom, though I'm not sure. The space is much larger than it looks, and well ventilated. Nice and cool! Wish I had brought a light jacket. Limited seating. I can see how the place can get packed quickly. [Food] My boyfriend and I enjoyed the Shanghai pork buns (came with black vinegar) which were super delicious! The Taiwanese noodle soup (described spicy) is the star of the menu. The broth is flavorful, lots of aromatics! Plenty of tender beef morsels and delicious ong choy. If you don't like cilantro, you may not appreciate this dish. I also found it interesting that the noodles were more udon-like than I've seen in different renditions of this dish. My boyfriend liked his Mongolian beef but noted it wasn't spicy. I didn't care for the Mongolian beef because there wasn't much to it, in portion or taste. The dish didn't come with rice, so we had to order a side bowl of jasmine rice for $2.00 extra. Good portion of rice, very well cooked. This place is BYOB, though I'm not certain if there is a corking fee. The dishes were priced on the high side but I did leave with plenty of leftovers! [Service] The staff were very kind and friendly, though not the most attentive. We had to ask for hot tea, as we were only given ice waters; however, the tea was flavorless (tasted like water). We also waited quite a while to order (despite being the only ones seated at the time), and even had to get out of our seats to grab some to-go boxes and the check from an employee. Still, we enjoyed our experience and everyone was very pleasant! My boyfriend and I will visit again! Parking isn't fun but the food is worth the hassle.

    Dew Drop has been at the same location since the 80s. It's one of the very few local mom and pop restaurants that I like going to. The owner Charlie and wife, Becky, cook up Taiwanese dishes with a local taste. The dumplings are good as well as their ground pork sesame bread pockets. Finish your meal with some black sesame balls. This is a small restaurant seating around 25 people comfortably, but can probably pack 35 diners. Becky runs the front of the house and Charlie does the cooking. Their son Jimmy helps out both in the front and in the kitchen. They have a parking lot next door to the restaurant that has space for 8 cars. If that is full your option is street metered.

    Dew Drop Inn on Beretania is small--about 8 tables--which makes the room feel intimate. We went on a Sunday at 7 PM and it was buzzing. Every table was full, servers were moving fast, and food was coming out quickly. People kept walking in looking for seats, but the room stayed full. Service was very nice and friendly, and the place felt homey and local We ordered three dishes: dumplings (pork and chives) for $18, Choy Sum Bean Curd for $18, and the Shao Bing (pork, veggies, tofu) for $19. Everything was good, but nothing struck me as special. The exception was the Shao Bing, which was new to us and very delicious. At $18-19, the meal felt pricey for what we got. If I return, it will be for that Shao Bing; the rest didn't justify the price the same way Overall, the food was good but didn't show that extra X factor we look for. Given the $18-19 pricing across the board, that matters. The Shao Bing delivered; the dumplings and Choy Sum Bean Curd did not feel worth those prices

    Taiwanese beef noodle soup
    Anna B.

    Really good Taiwanese style beef noodle soup- tasted like home to me! Portions are great. We shared the noodle soup plus white rice and tasty Mongolian beef. Servers are so friendly but sometimes the language barrier can cause order mixups, so it's best if you're patient or can speak Mandarin Chinese :) looking forward to trying lots else on their menu!

IRREGARDLESS I'd go back for the popcorn chicken (crispy, light fry, bite sized) and air conditioning.

It's serious 家常菜 or home-style cooking or quick food you'd find on the street: ong-choy, tomato-braised scrambled egg, garlic cabbage, essentially all the greats, shareable. Seasons also offers the beef soupy noodle sets, but when it's 85+ degrees out and sunny and 80% humidity, I do question ppl's judgement. I've always loved the Plaza, empty and partly abandoned, bec/ the design is conducive to good airflow and cooling, a much underappreciated architectural element in modern downtowns. But the bums and indigent love it more and sadly always leave some je ne sais quoi. Seasons finds itself across from the dim sum behemoth in Chinatown, Legends, but that's a different flavor profile. Still, quite nice to have variety.

The first time I've ordered almost a week ago was the pork hash, garlic green beans, mabo tofu with noodles, rice noodle and dumplings, and a pork belly dish with rice (can't remember the name). My favorite has to be the rice noodle cake with dumplings. It had peanut sauce and even reheating it on the stove made it satisfying to eat as leftovers. Each dish had between 6-8 pork and shrimp dumplings. The portions are generous which is enough for two meals. The pork hash came in 3s with the hot mustard and shoyu. Again these were good as well and not as oily and greasy. The pork belly was stringy and the rice was meh. It tries way too hard to copy Tom Khem which is a Laos dish. My mom had the tofu dish and after a while she did mention that the noodles got mushy and had no flavor. Then again she had to take a blood test so she had to watch her salt intake. I also tried the tofu and it was soft and not overly salty. The second time I ordered which was today, I replaced the rice dish with the char siu noodle soup and it was so good. It was the right portion size and the hot broth that's separate from the contents help soften the noodles. I also ordered coconut pudding and even though I have yet to try it, my mom said it was really good so I'm looking forward to it. Edit: I have now tried the coconut pudding and it was a generous portion. A nice refreshing and cold treat especially since we are now in the summer season. There is just a hint of coconut flavor though and shredded coconut flakes don't exist but it's still worth eating as a dessert or a snack. On both orders, I've ordered garlic green beans and it was the best tasting garlicky green beans I have ever tried. Overall, this place does serve good food but I'll probably skip the rice dishes and focus more on the noodle dishes and their sides.

So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono!

    Keep an eye out for this hole-in-the-wall noodle spot off of Kalākaua. There is a small parking lot…read morewith a few dedicated stalls up front making it super easy if it's not busy. Good thing all of the food came out as they were ready, since items like their fresh blanket noodles took longer to prepare (but def worth the wait). We started with their chicken wings which were lean on the meat but I think that made it easier to flash fry because they were so hot and crispy and still juicy! We also ordered their cucumber salad and eggplant salad-- I'd probably just go with the cucumber salad next time but both were good. For noodle dishes we went with the dan dan, ja jiang and the beef noodle soup but we subbed it for the blanket noodle for an extra $4. Hungry but also in the mood for karaoke? Come here!

The place was empty for lunch. I was so looking forward to the blanket dan dan noodles and cucumber salad. Sadly the flavors are completely different. The XLB were bland and half of them had no soup inside. Cucumber salad, mapo tofu, pork belly noodle bland. Dan Dan noodle bland and the blanket noodles too thick. Gone are the flavorful dishes and mouth numbing heat that I associated with joy cup noodle mean. The ong choy was well cooked and seasoned nicely. The gentleman was so nice I almost hate to write this update but I think people should know that this is no longer the joy cup noodle mean that we knew and loved.

    Authentic Chong Qing style noodles - really worth to give it a try. Some hopefully helpful tips:…read more1. The noodles only have one size but it's pretty large. Depending on your appetite, two ladies could possibly share. We ordered 2 and it was enough for 3 people to share. 2. Since we do not eat anything spicy, we asked for non-spicy from the get-go at ordering. The owner was able to accommodate. 3. Parking is street parking only but readily available fronting the restaurant. 4. The restaurant space is rather small, so it gets busy during meal time. We often take out by ordering ahead of time.

    stand alone restaurant - with limited seating insides…read more freshmade noodle for sure noted with quality. Do recommended getting chewy noodle vs flat noddle. The texture is more enjoyable when eating. Flat noddle - would have prefer to be more wide in size. Had the beef noodle classic -flavor in broth was decent, but could use with additional pickle vegetables to bring some sour and cut the richness of the broth. beef itself was very tender and came in separate bowl. Breakdown easily. not spicy at all though. next dish tried - was the pickle fish noodle - first time trying to dish anywhere. Surprisingly preferred this over the beef noodle. a little bit of sour, but just the right amount with the creamy broth mix. This with the chewy noodle was bomb. Highly recommended* price - reasonable for quality - but could have more noodle for quantity*

We were lucky to get in on a Wednesday evening. I hope they expand soon! We ordered so much food they had to move us to a bigger table. We tried the Curry Crab (of course), Thai style pork jowl, beef fried rice, salted egg chicken wings, and their milk tea and lemon iced tea with the cute bear ice. This place is so good, a little expensive, but worth every penny. My favorite was the curry crab and the salted egg chicken wings! I love their curry sauce and the naan bread. 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. The sauce with their pork jowl was too good! I need the recipe.

You wear plastic gloves when you eat this and I still lick my fingers Lol I know the crab seems expensive but you really cannot not order it when you come! The curry crab comes with 4 pieces of naan bread sometimes we order extra naan but we do eat it with rice The salted egg chicken wings is another item we get here I love bringing friends from out of town here; we come as often as we can even though we live on the west side Heart emoji! :o)

    Amazing Chinese noodles restaurant in Chinatown known for their beef noodles!…read more We had the beef mein, beef chow fun, and side order of look fun. Everything was great but the beef in the soup was the highlight, it was soft but not too soft and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with the noodles and soup. We went on a Sunday for lunch and they were pretty busy but we only had to wait maybe 10 - 15 min. Service was very speedy. Cute Chinatown shop vibes.

    Located in Chinatown, Lam's Kitchen is on a corner on Maunakea Street. The building is brick and…read morethe restaurant has red doors, which we read had been newly renovated. 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!
