    Ong Choy w/ Garlic Sauce
    Andy F.

    Being fast isn't always the best. This is my first time back since the new owners took over Golden Eagle and Duk Kee. I had a decent experience at Duk Kee, and it seems like they want to offer more traditional Cantonese dishes vs. Western style Chinese dishes, but appears to be Duk Kee only as the menu looks to be exactly the same. A welcome is having Chinese on the menu. Not much difference as in appearance outside and inside. We ordered the Minute Chicken Cake Noodle, Beef with Ginger and (regular yellow) onions, and ong choy with garlic. All these dishes came out exceedingly fast. A a couple of minutes fast. Everything was not piping hot when it came out. It was just up to temp. Ever though, there were scorch marks, there was absolutely no wok heat. Every item in all the dishes felt and tasted like they were all precooked and just reheated up. The cake noodle was quite thick with zero taste. The chicken was under seasoned, and the sauce was one note. Choy sum was pre-boiled and tossed in. They were quite soft. Needed soy sauce and hot mustard to save it. The beef slices either wasn't cooked through and/or had too much meat tenderizer/baking soda. It had this weird metallic, chemical taste and unusual texture. Overall taste and flavor were one note. It should be fragrant with all the onion and ginger, but it wasn't at all. The ong choy was the better tasting dish, but not mixed very well as some parts were bland and others were salty and strong. Similar to the Choy sum, the ong choy tasted and ate like it was pre-boiled and refrigerated. Overall, I'm not a fan of this style of speedy service. I know several restaurants do this with their food to be more efficient, but nothing was handled with enough care. What's the point of cooking it so fast? The food isn't properly mixed or up to temp, the flavors don't come out or developed, and zero wok heat. Just let the wok get hot, or cook a little bit longer will make a big difference. The food wasn't awful, but it could have been better. Service was good though. Friendly and attentive. With so many similar Chinese restaurants, I'll pass on this one. It was also kinda pricey compared to other places. At least it was better than the previous time!

    Peking Duck
    Raymond K.

    One of my wife's favorite Chinese dishes is Peking Duck (with Buns). We had been picking them up at Golden Duck since it's close by. I had heard of Golden Eagle from an acquaintance, so I had it in mind to try them once. It was my first time there, so I gathered from the online map that it would be near the corner of S. King and Isenberg Streets. I entered the parking lot and didn't see it until I was near Young Street. Even then, the sign outside was difficult for me to read. It was before the 10:30 a.m. opening time, but the "Open" light was already on. As I entered, a gentleman greeted me. I ordered a half order of Peking Duck w/ Buns, and Ong Choy w/ Garlic Sauce to go. He said it would take about 20 minutes. He invited me to have a seat while I waited. Soon afterwards, a couple entered and were seated. After a few minutes, another couple entered. In the meantime, the phone was ringing and orders were being taken. I made my way home after my order was called. The container was still hot when I arrived home. My wife was eager to try the food. When she tasted the duck, she said it wasn't salty, which pleased her. She had taught me a different way to enjoy Peking Duck -- instead of using the included sliced green onions, she would insert both the cooked, flavored ong choy and the duck into the bun. It tastes pretty good this way, so I've begun doing this as well. That's why I made it a point to order the Ong Choy w/ Garlic Sauce. After we both had our fill, I asked her how Golden Eagle compared with Golden Duck. She said that today's food from Golden Eagle was better -- that the dishes were saltier at Golden Duck. It seems we will be ordering from Golden Eagle again.

    Golden Eagle: Kung Pao Chicken
    Rebecca C.

    Celebrated Mother's Day a little later with take home meals from Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant. Every single dish was made with bursting flavors. We enjoyed every dishes! Our favorites were oysters with green onions and ginger, Hong Kong style fried noodles, ong choy with ham ha and garlic sauce, and the stuffed eggplant. The staffs were quick and friendly as we waited for our meal. The restaurant is like any other Chinese restaurants but definitely big in serving delicious dishes! One thing I'd recommend is using different containers for dishes with sauces. By the time we got home, some of the sauce spilled on top of each containers. Nevertheless, the meal was delicious and we enjoyed having celebrated at home. Would I come back? Most definitely!! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great weekend!

    Ginger chicken

    Half g chicken with ginger sauce. Very clean place and a lot of takeouts. Wonton soup looks good. Always a local favorite !!

    Specials

    Really enjoyed the food here. We got the honey walnut shrimp, crab Rangoon, orange chicken, salt and pepper fried fish, and noodles with black bean sauce. The lady helping at the front was very friendly. Parking lot was full when we came for dinner so we parked on the street, which was fine. Restrooms are located in a separate part of the building. Would come back in a heartbeat!

    Eggplant w/ Tofu
    Ross T.

    We were invited to dinner with friends and meet my cousin which was a great surprise! We ordered family style where everyone order a dish we had the beef chow fun which was very delicious. The scallops with Chinese peas & mushrooms also were good except the scallops were so small you could hardly taste the scallops, but the vegetables were nice and crispy. The egg plant and shrimp was really good and not too spicy and the egg plant was cooked just right, The lemon chicken was very good and tasty! The fried rice was good more on the hard side, different.

    We live here now, I guess? Sadly, our formerly favorite neighborhood Chinese has been sold and just isn't the same. For you Kaimuki folks, yes I'm talking about Duk Kee, and yes, I understand that the owners of Golden Eagle actually bought out the former owners of Duk Kee. However, the food here is so much better. Which is sad for us because we loved Duk Kee and it's closer to home, etc. But the menu is different here! And there are certain things that are unique to G.E. (ahem, honey walnut *eggplant* for you non-shrimp-eating people). Actually it was the eggplant that brought us back here. It's a delicate, but yet very crispy crunch. We also ordered the sweet sour cabbage with pork and minute chicken cake noodles. These noodles taste good and were pretty crispy even though they were covered in that minute chicken sauce. Yeah, everything we had was good. The staff seemed slammed, though. We went for a semi-early dinner and almost immediately after being seated, like 5 or more parties came in. So service was not the fastest, but still totally fine. Parking has changed here recently if you haven't been to the Old Stadium Mall in awhile. It's a decent sized lot and parking is free in the lot for 1 hour, but after that you have to pay using a QR code? I'm not sure exactly how they're monitoring this, but we've seen an unmarked car come by, take pictures of cars and leave a ticket, so beware. None of the shop owners (I've asked others in the same strip mall and gotten different answers) seem to know for certain whether or not you need to scan that code even if you're only staying less than 1 hour? G.E. has an enlarged version of the QR at the entrance for your convenience. Anyway, definitely try out Golden Eagle! I want to test more of the standards next time - chow fun or fried rice, pork chops, maybe kau yuk or some soup. I heard the gau gee is amazing too.

    Scallop w/Mushroom and Snow pea
    David H.

    First time. Last minute selection to get something different. Service was quick. Casual ambiance. Unfortunately, the scallops were the bay scallop "small" size, very little mushroom, and the portion size seemed a bit small compared to the price.

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.
