    Fooki our favorite Taiwanese restaurant . We brought some out of town guests to have lunch. They loved it . Service was great. We ordered the MaLa Wontons and the Grand Pa Beef Rolls for appetizers. They were delicious. For entrees we tried the Classic Wonton bowl, the Classic Beef bowl, the Monster Pork Chops, the 3 Cup Chicken, and Fooki Pork Belly bowl. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. But the Pork Chops were exceptional. Crispy outside but tender and moist inside. The rice that accompanied it was equally tasty and delicious. Nicely decorated dining room. Highly recommend

    Classic Braised Beef Noodle Soup
    Cailean C.

    Always love coming to this place for a quick and simple meal. Their soups are delicious and quite filling for the price. Service is quick and inside is nice. There is plenty of parking surrounding the area in the Pearl Kai shopping plaza. Usually order their classic beef noodle soup and can't go wrong with it.

    Oxtail Beef Soup

    He said it and they listened. Back in 2020, Elite Yelper Rod U. shared his valuable opinion on the food and pricing at this establishment. As any good manager would, they took his review and made improvements. For shareable starters, we ordered three appetizers. Their Boom Boom Chicken is excellent! Generous portion, great crunch on the outside, tender and tasty on the inside, and seasoned with that signature Taiwanese flavor. We finished every delicious morsel. Then we shared the Mala Wonton. If you like heat, this has a chili kick to it. Generous portion of dumplings topped with a spicy chili sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds. I normally don't eat spicy but glad to try this one. The most favorite dish at the table, enjoyed by everyone, was their fried fish filet. Again, another generous portion of something shareable. But after you tasted this fish, you might not want to share. Order this up for yourself! A few days after our delicious dining experience, our dinner guest said, "I feel like ordering a bunch of that fried fish from Fooki. That taste was incredible!" He also had the ox rib soup which had meaty portions of tender beef ribs. The broth was excellent and they served this with a side of rice and grated ginger dipping sauce. I had the mushroom noodle soup. When I requested this, our server made sure to tell me that it was beef broth in case I was a strict vegan. Oh this was a nice warm bowl of yummy comfort. Generous tender noodles with a nice balance of mushrooms and baby bok choy. Glad I tried it! Last but not least, we had the Trio Cup Chicken. This was full of flavor and easily feeds two people. Tender chicken bites seasoned in sweet soy glaze, garlic, and basil. Will totally come back to have more. Thank you everyone at Fooki. We enjoyed our meal and wonderful customer service. You will see us again, as we really enjoyed the tasty food, especially your fried fish filet!

    Our daughter is a picky eater and loves Asian food. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. They opened at 11am. We came here for lunch. Decor is a bit outdated. The staff all spoke English and Mandarin. We ordered 3 items shrimp, pork and chives dumplings - plump and you can tell they are very much homemade. Came with a housemade dipping sauce. I thought this was just okay. Popcorn chicken - Comes with a lot and well done. Our daughter loved it and ate half of the chicken. Stir fried veggies - This was very good although also a bit homey. Something my parents would make at home. Service was fine. They did give my toddler utensils/bowl/plate. Surcharge for credit card so we paid in cash. I did feel this place was a bit costly. $16 for the veggies and $22 for the dumplings.

    Minced Pork Noodles

    I picked up the Minced Pork Noodles for lunch during the week. The texture of the noodles were great for getting this as take out, but the overall dish was a little bland for my liking. The portion was great and the right amount for me for lunch. I liked the Mala Wonton Noodles from the last time I went, but it was too spicy so I just got a side of Mala sauce to add to my dish. This restaurant is located in Pearl Kai Shopping Center so there is a lot of available parking. Overall Fooki is a great spot for lunch or dinner and will definitely go back.

    Li Hing Mui Sweet Potatoes Fries - SO GOOD!
    Romyn S.

    I knew this was on my list for a reason and I'm glad I finally got to go here! THE FOOD IS SO GOOD! I went here with three adults and a baby. We got the Boom Boom Chicken, rolling something (refer to picture), Monster Pork Chop, Mala Wonton Noodles, Li Hing Mui Sweet Potato Fries (these were so good, I don't know how they cooked it but the crunchiness and texture were amazing), two desserts and I remember getting a scallion pancake (just didn't take a pic). We were all full and we had left over food as well. Atmosphere - Chill vibes, good lighting (helped with the pictures), at least 5 tables. We went on a rainy day and in the middle of the week so it wasn't too busy which was nice so we didn't have to wait. Service - Friendly! I don't know if it was the manager or whoever but the guy that was helping us was so nice. He answered the questions we had, said hi to the baby and was kind. Cost - To be honest, I don't recall the overall cost but the range of each dish was $14 - $25 depending on whether it's an appetizer or main dish. Parking - It's in a plaza with other businesses so there's plenty of park right in front of the restaurant and around it. Location - Aiea, in a plaza off of Kamehameha highway. I would definitely come here to eat again! I want to try their other dishes and get some of the same things again :).

    It's been awhile since we last had lunch here. A new owner and expanded menu... still great Taiwanese noodle soup. Service is excellent and our server was very friendly, even explaining the Mandarin meaning of Fooki, since we asked. It's very chill and casual. Like many small noodle shops in Taipei, it has an industrial feel to the ambience... which is cool. Highly recommend Fooki for noodles... so Onolicious!

    Fooki is a cute little Taiwanese restaurant located in Aiea. I had actually never heard of this restaurant, but a good friend of mine recommended it so we made reservations for dinner. We ordered the Li Hing sweet potato fries, Fooki bao, monster pork chops, and boom boom chicken. Everything was delicious! Service was excellent. This restaurant had a very small family like feel. It felt very welcoming. Not sure if it's family run or not. Definitely want to come back and try some other options on the menu.

    Classic Braised Beef Noodle Soup. It had just enough heat in it that made it tasty but not overwhelming spicy.
    Megan R.

    With this rainy weather we have been having there beef noodle soup was calling me. Ambiance: Very cutely decorated with lanterns all over. It wasn't over loud and you could actually speak with the person you are there with. Service: Excellent- the servers where attentive and our food came out quick Food: Grandpa rolling beef - 10 out of 10. Crispy pancake outside, moist beef and refreshing cucumbers inside Scallion Pancakes- I've had it here before and this time it was a miss for us. It wasn't very scallion forward. Still crispy and a the perfect pancake texture. Classic braised beef noddle- 10 out of 10. The soup was tasty and had just a touch of heat. Not overwhelming at all. The noodles had the perfect QQ texture. The meat was perfectly tender. It was still delicious when we had the leftovers the next day. Definitely a go to spot for me.

    I came here for lunch with a small group and out of town guests and everyone enjoyed their food. It was delicious! Fooki is located at Pearl Kai shopping center across pearlridge and lots of free parking. Our group of 6 walked in without a reservation for lunch. Some of the things that we ordered was the li hing mui sweet potato fries, braised beef noodle soup and the trio cup chicken. Everything was so good. The braised beef noodle soup was delicious and the beef was nice and tender. Service was great, the guy helping us was super helpful for the menu and what to order that fitted what we wanted to eat. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes and trying their special teas and coffees next time.

    Sauce for boom boom chicken.
    Jason M.

    My wife and I past this place Alllllllllllllllll the time, after my appointment this morning she suggested this place and we love love love trying new spots and boy are we glad we stopped in! We got the boom boom chicken, wife got the beef noodle bowl and I got the pork belly bowl. Also tried the cheese cold brew and wife had the strawberry sparkling type drink and said she liked it and would get it again! Service was amazing, quick and super friendly. Nice quiet spot and we will definitely be back!

    Grandpa Rolling Beef, Garlic Stir-Fry Veggies, Fooki Bao and Boom Boom Chicken
    Sach T.

    This place was in my Yelp Bookmarks for a long time but never got a chance to try it out. When friends chose this place for our quarterly get together, I was all for it! Before our luncheon, I did my research on Yelp to see what fellow yelpers recommended. I had a long list and discussed it with everyone. We decided to share family style so we all could taste a little of each. Here's what we ordered: 1. Grandpa Rolling Beef $15: Its braised shanks, cucumber and cabbage rolled in a scallion pancake, topped with sake hoisin sauce and sesame seeds. We thought it was good but not something we would order again. 2. Boom Boom Chicken A la carte $16: It's fried chicken with basil and comes with a special sauce. I read about how the sauce was awesome so maybe my expectations were high. This was good but it's another dish we would pass. 3. Garlic Stir Fry Veggies $15: When my friends wanted to order this, I thought "Yikes, cooked vegetables with no meat?!". This dish included stir fry Shanghai bok choy, cabbage, cucumber, shimeji mushroom, fried tofu and garlic. OMG! This was sooooooo yummy! We all raved about how tasty it was and we would DEFINITELY order this again! I'm glad they ordered it! 4. Fooki Bao $8 each: This is braised thick cut pork belly, pickled mustard, crushed sweet peanuts, cilantro, sesame seed in a steamed bun. I first thought it was pricey...$8 for 1 thinking the bun would be the size of the ones you get when you order duck at a Chinese restaurant...this one looked like double the size and the pork belly piece was big, thick and very tasty! They have this item priced as $8 for 1 OR 3 for $24 but it still comes out to $8 each so you don't get a cheaper price for buying more. A friend and I ordered this as a takeout for our husband so they could try it. Asked our server, Todd if we warmed it up in the microwave, would the bun still be soft...he didn't think so. We took our chances (that's how much we liked it), warmed it up and the bun was still soft and the pork was oh-so-good...yay! 5. Monster Pork Chops A la carte $16: Another friend ordered this as a takeout for her husband. He thought it was good but would've been better if it was eaten there because it wasn't crispy. They would order this again. Our server, Todd was so nice and helpful describing the dishes we were thinking of ordering. He even let us try the dessert "Vintage Tofu pudding" that includes tofu pudding, peanuts and boba. We thought it was good and refreshing but didn't care for the super soft peanuts. We did suggest that if they added the peanuts when it's served, it would be crunchy...forgot what his answer was but we thought crunchy peanuts would've been better. We all said we would like to come back and order our own noodle or rice dish. I would also like to bring my family here...I know they'd love it! They accept credit cards but charges a transaction fee of 3%. They also have a service charge for large parties: - Party of 6 to 9: 20% - Party of 10 or more: 22% This place isn't that big so it's best to make reservations. They're located in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center next door to Queens Urgent Care. Lots of free parking and pretty easy to find an empty space because not many businesses on this side.

    Top Left: Lu Rou Fan Bottom Left: A La Carte Boom Boom Chicken Right: Beef Scallion Noodle
    Alyssa Y.

    My boyfriend and I came for dinner and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Beef Scallion Noodles, Lu Rou Fan and an a la carte order of the Boom Boom Chicken. Beef scallion noodles: The noodle texture was perfect, not over or undercooked. The beef was soft and tender and while it looks like the sauce is thin, it packs a lot of flavor and it coats the noodles well. I like a little heat to my dish so I asked our waiter for a side of their hot sauce and it was a perfect match. Lu Rou Fan: My boyfriend loved this dish. Although we wish the portion was a little bigger, it was packed with so much flavor. The meat was tender and the sauce was so good with the rice. I wish they gave us a full eg rather than just half an egg. Boom Boom Chicken: I love Taiwanese fried chicken and this was no exception. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned. Looking forward to coming again and trying more things!

    Do they use msg in their food?

    I don't think so

    Is everything spicy or do they have non-spicy options?

    They have plenty of non spicy options to enjoy!

    Do we need to reserve?

    No reservations are needed.

    We were there today (5/10/22) a little before 5 PM - door was chain locked from the outside, but the restaurant's neon sign said OPEN. Peeked inside and no one. No servers, no customers. Are you guys still in business?

    That's odd- they are closed on Mondays but should be open 430p.

    Do they have food with peanuts, or are aware for people with food allergies?

    You can call them but as far as we know, it is not like Thai or Vietnamese where they commonly use peanuts.… Read more

    Do you take reservations?

    Hi Catherine. Yes, we only take reservation through phone (808) 484-9188. Thank you!

    Service: I had a great experience at Sharetea. My orders…read morewere ready on time, and I appreciated being able to call ahead--it made everything super smooth. Finding parking was easy, which is always a plus. I also loved that there were no lines when I went around 7 p.m. on a Monday. Overall, a convenient and stress-free visit! Food: The drinks were delicious and made exactly to my specific requests. Everything tasted well-prepared. The quality and flavor were consistent with other Sharetea locations I've visited, which I really appreciate. A solid choice if you know what you like and want it made right. Ambiance: Seating is very minimal, so it's not really a place to sit and hang out. There is bar-style seating along the wall for about five people and one small table that fits two. Overall, this location seems more suited for grab-and-go rather than staying for a while.

    Conveniently located in the Waimalu shopping plaza (on the side that has the Starbucks, pancakes…read moreand waffles, sidorak iii, runners HI, and the little police office where they do their paperwork I believe (make sure not to park in the designated stalls for the police officers only)). Inside is always clean and has a calm ambiance. There's little counter areas for you to sit or stand along the walls and enjoy your drinks or just a temporary area where you can poke the straw into your bubble tea so you can enjoy your drink before leaving. Customer service: The staff is friendly and welcoming. They greet you when you walk in and are able to answer questions about their menu. My favorite thing about share tea is the fact that they use non dairy options for their drinks! For those who are lactose intolerant, that fact alone plus the taste and variety of drinks is a huge plus and a win! My favorite is the Oreo with regular boba and my other half likes the mango passion fruit with clear boba!
