Best Chinese non-Cantonese restaurant in Honolulu. They have killer suanlatang, only restaurant with chewy pi jiaozi, they are, I think, owned by Taiwanese. 95% of Chinese in Hawaii are Cantonese, so most of the restaurants here are Cantonese. I see a lot of non-English speaking Chinese here. read more

Great small Chinese place with a lot of friendly people.. That's why I always go back to this place!

Excellent food! I go to dew drop inn all the time. they have a wide selection of dishes. the chef is well versed. The staff are very nice, including the owner. I recommend the fried fish. They will accommodate dietary special requests. And they serve brown rice. The duck is tasty! Also try the lamb with leeks. Dew Drop Inn is the kind of place that you can go to over and over and try something new. Highly reccommended! read more

I like the orange chicken here. Small restaurant parking is on the side or Beretania Street.

We had takeout because the it was packed. I had the Taiwanese noodle with intestines and sesame flat bread. The noodle was authentic but the flat bread was just ok. It was not crispy like I expected it to be (probably it was a takeout?) but not so bad for someone who is craving for it. Hubby had beef stew noodle and fried green onion beef with buns and he loved it. A little tip: go early if you want to have a seat. read more

The soup dumplings were disappointingly not soupy, but the place has so much heart. Service is slow on a Saturday 6pm, but if you can dine later, this place executed delicious Taiwanese/northern Chinese style dishes -- think beef and scallions with man tou, pork and cabbage wraps, and pan fried buns. Highly recommend you go back more than once to try all their dishes! read more

Come here for lunch with my bosses pretty often. Will bring my wife here to try soon since she loves Chinese food. They serve Nothern Chinese cuisine here and they are delicious. We've tried the bean curd, on choy, sting beans, fried chicken, cold ginger chicken, beef with bean sprouts, beef with snow peas just to name a few and they are all considered must try's. Very small parking lot but there's metered street parking available as well. Highly recommended if Chinese food is your desire. read more

Fantastic restaurant for authentic Taiwanese food. Excellent service and reasonable prices.

I love this place. By far the best Hot and Sour Soup on the island. Their scallion pancakes are also great with a little of that chili sauce. I love the fact that when I first visited, my friend and I were the only non Chinese people in the restaurant! It was filled with little old ladies drinking beer! It is BYOB, which makes it nice on the wallet. For vegetarians, the eggplant is awesome, but for meat eaters, the duck, pork and mongolian lamb are all to die for! I would have given 5 stars, except that in order to get to the bathroom you have to walk thru the kitchen which is a little... well, 'yikes!' is what I first thought! read more

Dew Drop Inn, how I dream about you until my next visit home! Absolutely the best orange beef and flakiest scallion pancakes ever. Orange beef isn't dripping in syrup, but has the perfect amount of glaze. Came here for years until I moved away. read more

Heard of this place for years, so Feb.2016, we went there for lunch, the place is nothing to write home about, nor is the services, but the quality of their food will knock your socks off. Their quality equal anything in Calgary,Ab.the portion is good and the food comes out hot like they should be and the taste is very good.We will be back for sure. RJ read more

Food was delightful, and the atmosphere and service were top notch. Had the dumpling soup, fried rice, and orange chicken, however there are many colorful and intriguing dishes on the menu, such as the cold jellyfish salad. read more

Been to this place for the first time last month. Food was good! Especially the beef and broccoli and house fried rice. This place seems to be always crowded. There are often people waiting outside to get in. It's a small place, so you might wanna call to reserve. read more

Best Chinese food on the island. Real authentic. Orange chicken is best I have ever had! You're not ordering right if you haven't added the orange chicken to your order! read more

Hole in da wall with no parking! Don't understand the rave reviews? Took nearly 30 minutes for my order to come out (to think this is Chinese food)! House fried rice was okay although too much garlic. Chicken had too much broccoli and not enough chicken and the egg fu young had too much ingredients so it didn't even taste like it. Bad enough they run over ten bucks a plate! read more

Small place with limited parking but worth the effort. Pretty large menu and everything we ordered was good--not greasy like many other Chinese restaurants. The cold ginger chicken was excellent! Very friendly and fast service too. read more

The six dishes that my friend and I had were very good except Xiao Long Bao. The Xiao Long Bao was the worst one I've ever had.

This was the best authentic Chinese food ever. It rivals my parents' homecoming. It's a tiny hole in a wall, but incredible food. The green beans were perfect, hot and sour soup, seafood veggie dish, and fried rice were all amazing. The service here is also great- one guy doing everything with a smile. Highly recommend!! read more

They are messed up! Wanted to like it, but we won't be back. We had reservations, but others who were seated after us were served much faster than we were. We had to ask twice just to get water while we were waiting for the food. When we were finally served about 45 minutes after arriving, we were eager to dig in when our first dishes arrived. The food was okay, but nothing great. We were about half done with our three dishes when the waiter brought another dish. Being our first time to the restaurant, we didn't realize that the first dish they had served us was a wrong dish. We still wanted to eat the dish we originally ordered, but they quickly took it off our table because they realized they served us the wrong thing earlier. When we asked if we could have the dish, they complained that we had eaten half of the wrong dish. I told them we didn't know it was wrong and it wasn't our fault they served us the wrong thing. Well, when the check came, they charged us for the dish we didn't order. We had to argue with the female manager/owner that we shouldn't be charged because it was their mistake. We are NOT returning. read more

Good dumplings and veggies, lu rou fan was pretty good too.

I haven't been here in over a decade and I recall absolutely loving the food which is why I decided to eat here again. However it was very disappointing today. I ordered the Mongolian lamb and it was tough, dry and didn't have much flavor except for it being a little spicy. I didn't care for the other dishes I ordered but I think that was more due to personal preference. I'm willing to give it another chance and maybe I just have to order different dishes! read more

My family and I ordered takeout from Dew Drop Inn for dinner, and had a disappointing meal. I would not recommend the dishes we sampled, and won't be returning to Dew Drop Inn. We picked up #7 chicken and chive dumplings, #8 green onion pancakes, #40 braised butter fish, and #73 veggie egg fu yung. The dumplings were rubbery and lacked flavor, the scallion pancakes were extremely doughy and tasteless, and the egg fu yung was oversalted. The fish was not a filet - it still had bones - and the skin was soggy and oversauced. Unfortunately, this meal was not a success! read more

This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. But 4 dishes and over $50 bucks later, we feel grossed out. All the dishes had some weird Chinese herbal medicine taste. The lamb which we used to love, number one didn't taste like lamb, number two was tough, number three was watery and cabbage-y. The beef broccoli tasted funky. The lettuce wraps were ok, but all had that weird twang to it. Was this place sold and had new owners? My favorite ladies were not there, so I'm wondering.....? In any case, this one is off my list! Yuck and out of money...shoulda got pizza tonight. read more

like their food has a lot different kind of food, like something from taiwan, somehting from shanghai, and something from northen china. limited operation hour and limited parking space. read more

My family decided to try this place one weekend because of all the great Yelp reviews, and it was okay. I mean I've had better Chinese food. It is very, very small, but we were able to get a table right away. What annoyed us a bit was how long it took to get the food. Maybe we went at the wrong time but the service in general was very slow. In the first 30 minutes of waiting we were okay and just talking and relaxing, but after a while we started to wonder why not a single one of the dishes we'd ordered had come out (not even the salad). Overall, the servers don't pay too much attention to the customers, which some might like (because it's more relaxed). A lot of the food was pretty good (although the Xiao Long Bao came a bit cold and the wrapping had hardened a bit), but the overall consensus at the end of the meal was that we probably wouldn't go back. We figured there were other Chinese places that we liked better. read more

3-1/2 stars. The food is delicious. We had the vegetarian buns and the orange shrimp. The vegetarian buns were great. Very filling. You get 10 buns for $15. They are thin white buns filled with glass noodles, mushrooms and dry tofu. You dip them in a dark vinegar. They are steamed but also fried on the bottom. The orange shrimp was also delicious. Plump and flavorful. Not over-breaded. Has a delicious, not-too-syrupy orange sauce. Comes with 4 pieces of broccoli and costs $12. Beware though, they do not taste good the next day. The breading becomes soggy and disgusting. So do order this dish, but make sure you finish it the same day. This place gets docked because of the service. There is one woman who acts as server and cashier. While she is cordial and nice, service is slow. My order took 20 minutes longer than they said it would (whopping total of 55 minute wait time). I called in my order and showed up when they said to but then had to wait around another 20 minutes for my food. The place is small and was packed to the brim. You could see how popular the place was. I do recommend you try this place but be prepared for the wait. Best to show up during non-peak times. read more

Great food, vegetables were cooked just right (not overdone). Decent portions good for family style or on your own. Rated 4 due to limited parking- not easy to get in and out of-great if you can walk there or dine before peak lunch/dinner hours. read more

I am giving this place a two star, an average of 3 star for the service and 1 star for the food. Not very authentic! The skin of the Shanghai dumplings tasted like clay. The meat did not taste fresh. Also, ordered the Jiang mien. Again, the meat was not very good although the sauce did help to enhance the flavor. I also ordered warm soy bean milk to go with the onion pancake. I think it came from a can and heated up in the microwave. The onion pancake was also over-fried. read more

I was just here. The food was overly spicy. I usually can eat spicy food but this one was too spicy. We ordered mangolian beef and there was literally 6 beef in there with alot of onions.ts was too expensive for Chinese food with small portions. We asked for water and thy gave us tap water. I wouldn't come back here. read more

Five years ago, I went there and order serveral dishes. I found a small rock in my Muu Shuu Pork. I told the owner/waitress about it. When the bill came, they charged me for the Muu Shuu dish. I told the owner/waitress about the rock and she replied that I ate half the dish. I asked her again if she was going to charge for the dish. She said no and apologized. I could of broken a tooth and luckily I did not raise my voice and let the other patrons know about the rock in my dish. Some other people would of sue them. I can afford a measely $12 dish but not a chipped tooth. read more

Busy, busy, busy. Because the food is very delicious and the place is small. Also not nearly enough parking so count on walking for parking. In spite of all that you should go because all that delicious food is worth the pilikia! read more

If you grew up on chinese food, this is the place for you. No, orange chicken nor beef and broccoli are real chinese dishes. It's has some northern style dishes (e.g. breads, noodles). The shao bing and shanghai buns are pretty good and probably the only place i can think of that you can buy this from in hawaii. read more

Not as many northern chinese style places here as in N. Cal, so I was excited to see this restaurant when we drove by. I talked my family out of our planned dim sum brunch to come here, afterall the dumpling pic on the net looked pretty good: 1. dumplings: skin looked homemade and it was pretty al dente. However the filling was without flavor at all and relied on the vinegar & soy sauce. Additionally you have to ask for red or black vinegars otherwise you're stuck w/ the white distilled stuff. 2. shao bing with dried tofu & pork: probably best dish we had. The bread was flakey and the filling was kind of nice although entirely reliant on hoi sin for its flavor 3. fried rice cake: this was ok as well but unfortunately without wok hee so just didn't have that extra pop that marks good chinese food 4. shanhai chow mein: the most disappointing dish to me. The noodles were cooked to a soft mush when they should have been thick and chewy. I have never seen so much chopped garlic used on this dish, and again it was missing wok hee as well as the other subtle flavors that is trademark to this dish 5. choy sum: this so disgusted my mother that she refused to take home the leftovers. It was comprised of short left over pieces of stalk and a few leaves thrown in to make it seem like they weren't trying to cheat us of the good morsels. Tea: lukewarm at best. Now I owe my mom a dim sum lunch before we fly back to CA. Guess I'll have to get my Taiwanese or Shanghai fix in South Bay later. read more

The xiao long bao was ok. Not as juicy as i'd like it to be. Ordered the tofu and intestine and pork blood entree. There wasn't much pork blood or intestine, mostly tofu. The meals came out hot but was 10 min later than expected. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times it was a wonderful experience. The server(s) are incredibly friendly in spite of having to run all around. The xiao Bing is delicious, the egg drop soup was equally tasty. I usually don't enjoy it because of its texture but in this case the thickness was perfect, without a slimy feel. I ordered an entire extra dish to take home for the next day read more

Food was missing salt. Used to be very good. But recently I have not enjoyed the food.

Well, no food can taste good served with a dose of racism. We came several times and tried many dishes. All were fairly good, not great. Liked the owner's son who always provided good service. It only took one night of being ignored in the midst of a full house with mediocre food to make this visit our last. We wanted to like you. Why wouldn't you be nice? read more

The best pan fried noodles on Oahu!

One of my favorite place. More than taste just so comfortable, very casual,so easy to choose from the menu with photo, and food is good, too. But I must warn you desserts are not good...... read more

Food is good, service was terrible! 35 min for our first order to come out, people who came in after us got there food first. Not returning.
