    Beef Chow Fun
    Kainani K.

    The restaurant was really clean and kept at a comfortable temperature. The service was good, and we were seated as soon as we walked in. My husband and I decided to get beef broccoli, beef chow fun, beef fried rice, garlic pork chops, and crispy gaugee. All of the dishes came out one at a time and the temperature was nice and hot. I thought the flavors were nice and noticeable but my husband had a hard time tasting anything. I still think the overall experience was good.

    Finding the golden wheel... After having some refreshing treat with Nadine C I asked mom what she wanted for dinner and it was some Chinese Beef Broccoli and though there has to be somewhere near here than I can pick up easily and after some Yelp search found that Golden Wheel was near and let it guide me there only to say that I was there...on the other side of the building lol! Oh my goodness as they're located in Aiea Town Square surrounded by some biz that I frequent I just had no idea and felt foolish. This cute place is cozy though do have enough seatings from 7 four top and two large round for 5+ but it was take out for me and an easy one which they made in literally seconds. The staff there is very nice and friendly packed it up nice and with napkin, chopsticks and a shoyu/mustard container was an easy place to grab a meal to go and yes it was yummy broccoli was cooked just right and the beef was nice and tender, not over crazy salty and just the touch of gravy to cover the dish, simple yet comforting and is why it was delicious. Thank you!

    Steamed Fish Fillet

    I was happy to see this Chinese spot open on Aiea. We ordered take out and when I went I pick up the order, restaurant was completely empty on a Saturday around 5pm. I was a little skeptical after I noticed the emptiness. Ordered the fish, beef and broccoli, fried pork chops, and kung pao chicken. All of our dishes were pretty salty. Perhaps too much MSG? I don't mind MSG but it was overall too salty. The fish had a good ginger taste and cooked nicely. I would not order the beef and broccoli again- the broccoli was overcooked and mushy. The beef also felt mushy. My favorite was the fried pork chops. Great flavor and texture all around. I wouldn't mind trying out other dishes if I'm craving Chinese in Aiea since it's so limited in the area.

    Crispy Won Ton, Sweet & Sour Chicken
    Ajali V.

    Stumbled on this place by accident and I'm honestly glad I did. While the place was empty on a Monday afternoon, it was kinda nice to have the cozy little restaurant to ourselves. Since it was empty we got to sit wherever and we were helped immediately. We needed some time to decide but were offered tea in the meantime. I ended up ordering the sweet and sour chicken and I'm so happy with what I ordered. I added rice because duh. But what I loved about this dish is that it wasn't dry, there was plenty of sauce and the chicken wasn't overcooked or chewy. It tasted so fresh and was honestly too hot to eat, but it was so good so who cares if I burnt my tongue?! It was a pretty large portion as well. We also got wontons and those were good too! So much food we had to take those home. I would definitely go back and try more dishes from this place. There's ample parking too and a restroom! They offer take out as well and accept all major credit cards.

    First time I tried beef ong choi with harm ha. Not good, I rather have pork and the ginger was overpowering
    Wesley T.

    So, I know Golden Wheel changed ownership and kept the name, it is a different restaurant doing business as Golden Wheel. I don't order out very often but I remember Golden Wheel's harm ha pork ong choi being so good. Tonite I didn't care for the dinner I made for myself so I ordered from Golden Wheel. I thought it was would order beef instead of pork because the doctor told me today off pork so ordered beef instead of pork. When I got home and started eating the flavors were off. then it dawned on me me that there is a strong ginger flavor, a flavor that I am not accustomed to in harm ha ong choi. I couldn't even eat half, it was that bad. I think my days of ordering from Golden Wheel may be over.

    Never tried this place before

    Blew my mind today! Stopped in after a pedicure next door and because it's been raining I really wanted some noodle soup. First off there were two waitresses which should have been my first clue because there has never been anyone but the owner previously. A server immediately directed us to an open table and put menus in front of us while another server brought half full glasses of water, followed by a pot of tea then stood there pen in hand to take our order. Can I have a minute to decide please? My friend ordered the dinner plate and I ordered the Bat Jun noodle dish asking for it in soup...she nodded and walked away. Friend's plate arrived first piled high with everything noted for the dinner plate special on the menu. Surprised my Bat Jun Noodle soup arrived sans noodles! Asked her where the noodles were she suddenly couldn't understand a word I said....so trying to make the best of the situation I just ate it. "It" being the absolute worst bowl of soup in my entire life! Not only were the ingredients in the soup meager the broth was flavorless. I had a bowl of hot water with mostly cabbage in it. One nickel sized shrimp, one soggy square of white fish, one chewy piece of squid, one chewy carrot, a chunk of mangled bok choy and some remnants of Chinese cabbage. $16 for what I wouldn't feed my garbage disposal. My friend said her plate was awful too. Sweet and sour ribs were nearly all bones. The noodles were tasteless as was the fried rice. The fried shrimp on top was soggy and the breading fell off when she picked it up. The wonton was not crunchy and again flavorless. The table next to us asked where the owner was, apparently by name and were told "they decided to retire and sold the restaurant" New owner and new cook. No signs advising but had I looked at the business on Yelp before walking in and seeing RodI U's updated review I would have gone next door for Pho. I won't be back unless I see some serious improvement here. This was the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten.

    NEW OWNERS - Stuffed Tofu
    Rod U.

    November 2024. NEW OWNERS. NEW COOKS. What was one the best places to get gweilo Chinese food (Chop Suey House Americanized Chinese food ie lemon chicken, beef broccoli, general tzo's chicken) is no more. To be fair, perhaps the cooks are not used to the kitchen yet but for now: -- Fried rice - No wok hei. No color. No seasoning. Not even salt. Sparse "stuff" mixed in. -- Crispy gau gee - Fried in cold oil. Extremely crisp on the outside, oily on the inside. Odd spice seasoning. Ginseng? -- Salt and pepper pork chop - Odd velveting. Floury as if cooked at too low a temp so the coating is not set. Lack of seasoning. No spice heat. -- Stuffed tofu - Interesting. Finally a dish that is seasoned albeit in a very goopy, cornstarch thickened sauce. -- Mixed veg with beef - Beef is not marinated in Chinese wine and is tough but a nice mixture of veg including mustard cabbage for more depth. Sigh, another Joni Mitchell "Big Yellow Taxi" moment.

    20260214 Menus You're welcome. Pretty good salt and pepper pork chops, cold ginger chicken and roast duck.

    Scallop Soup
    Paul C.

    When Rod U. speaks, you listen. Ummm....what I meant to say is "Pay attention to Rod U." You see, I've known Rod U. for about 10 years now via Yelp. I met him IRL at Yelp events where he also even attended my UYE's when I hosted them many blue moons ago. Rod is a cool Yeep and highly knowledgeable in many types of cuisine and I look up to him and respect him. Rod U. is the Duke of Golden Wheel (GW) with 33 check-in's as of 3/7/2024. When Judy C., our coordinator of a small, exclusive foodie group, suggested we try GW, I had my reservations but when I read Rod U.'s review and saw how many check in's he chalked up, I was game to give them a try. Located in Aiea Town Square with neighbors of Hughley's Southern Cuisine and Palazzo Ristorante Italiano, GW has been serving Cantonese cuisine in Aiea for over 15 years. As a townie and the Unofficial Mayor of Chinatown, I was very skeptical of Cantonese cuisine in Aiea but I have faith in Rod U. Judy C. has been to GW several times now and she made the reservations and suggested we try one of their set menus of 8 items for $93. I read both Rod U. and Kathy A.'s reviews where I really wanted to try the lemon chicken so when I saw the set menu had lemon chicken was included, I agreed. Once everyone arrived and sat at our seats, Judy advised the staff of the green light to start. THE VERDICT: GW seems like a restaurant of my past when I lived on Maunakea Street in Chinatown. They resemble Tin Tin Chinese Restaurant and the interior décor screams the 90's. Indeed the food here at GW is adjusted to suit the local, or Western palate. The food reminds me like I was eating at your typical "Chop Suey restaurant". Food here also revived my childhood days growing up in Chinatown with multiple chop suey restaurants. We ordered a set menu and the dishes were delivered quickly shortly after we started off with the scallop soup, which was surprisingly tasty that needed a splash of white pepper. Our meal started strong. Next, the lemon chicken was amazing. Dish was made fresh as it was delivered temperature hot and executed well. I also enjoyed the sweet and sour cabbage with beef, that was substituted instead of the beef with vegetables. Love the sweet and tart contrast of flavors with a nice crunchy texture from the sour cabbage. The flavor of the Sam See fried noodles was not bad but I'm not a fan of thick, starchy egg noodles. The temperature of the noodles was semi warm. I wasn't a fan of their roast duck, as it was clearly recooked by deep frying with the dark skin color and crispy skin. However, the duck was noticeably dry. I also wasn't a fan of the egg fu young. This dish is too westernized for my palate. The biggest disappointment of the night was the fried rice. Although this also had a generous serving, the fried rice was clearly premade and the temperature of rice was tepid. Lastly, the seafood with vegetables was pretty good. I could smell the wok hei and the Choy sum vegetables still had a great texture and seasoned well. Service was somewhat spotty with highs and lows. The restaurant was consistently busy with many tables occupied and even witnessed a Chinese family dine in where they received attention from the staff. Although fluent in Cantonese myself, the staff spoke a different dialect of Cantonese where I understood for the most part but declined to speak to staff in Cantonese. We only had our water glasses filled at the end of our meal. Overall, a decent first experience at GW where I wouldn't mind returning. The lemon chicken is delicious and next time I'd like to sample their Capital style pork chops. There was a miscommunication with our waitress as she didn't put in our order and we canceled it as we were stuffed with leftovers to take home. I don't think I'll suggest this place to my family as they may not appreciate the "chop suey" style of food here.

    Black Pepper Tenderloin Beef
    Shelly i.

    Yes, this Golden Wheel is different but there are things they do very well. For example, the crispy gau gee, mapo tofu, pork sin choy, black pepper beef, Peking duck with bun, and gai lan have all been winners lately. Some things they don't do as good as the previous owners but please give these guys a chance. I'd hate to see another old school Chinese restaurant in Aiea bite the dust!

    Beef broccoli cake noodle
    Kathy U.

    Decided to chance eating here again since half the reviews in the last few months were good. Facility: 4 stars. Cleaner than before. Nice new plates. Service: 3.5. Server was friendly enough, seemed to know the regular customers. Food took a little longer to come out than expected but was still a reasonable wait. However, we had to wait to get our bill. Hubby had to go up to ask for a take out container because server was in the back talking. Food: 3.5 to 4. Beef broccoli cake noodle was good. Cake noodle had the necessary char and crispness (4), beef was tender enough (4), broccoli was nice and crisp (4). Gravy was 3.5 because the taste was ok but not the usual flavoring. I would prefer the traditional flavor. Egg fu yong was good (3.8) and if it had just a tad more saltiness it would have been a 4.5. Hubby said the food wasn't bad - from him that's a good sign since he's not a Chinese food lover. Note: No lunch and dinner plate in the menu. Will return.

    Still got leftovers from dinner special plate .

Reasonably priced and extremely popular. The chicken was fried in bite sizes with a crispy coating and hints of Chinese 5 spice. It was served on a bit of cabbage with fried basil. If you order the sauce that goes with it, you'll get a slightly sweet accent to the chicken. Grandpa Rolling Beef is a creative braised beef rolled in a scallion pancake with extra veggies. Great flavors with a crunchy texture. The joong or zong zhi was mochi rice with pork and preserved egg. If you were looking for home style sticky rice, you got it here with a bit of a light sauce. The preserved egg brings back memories of Popo's kitchen/ your childhood. We tried Taiwan tofu pudding for dessert. You should order it even if you order nothing else. Perfect for two. Silky tofu in a slightly sweet sauce with shaved ice, boba and peanuts combine for a perfect dessert. Not heavy and just sweet enough to tempt a non-dessert person. A return to this restaurant is always warranted! Give it a try!

I came around after 1230p and they had already run out of fried rice which was sad, I think the guy in front of me may have gotten the last order!

This is located on the second floor of the shopping center above Times (same level as McDonald's), just at the top of the escalators. Take out only. Place your order with the nice lady at the front, then wait until she calls your order out to pick up and pay. At peak lunch hour this can take 5 to 7 minutes. Credit card surcharge. There are a few shady tables on the second floor patio you can sit at to eat.

Cloud Nine Cafe's location was a bit inconvenient for me to patron, but a friend of mine posted on social media that Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle in Pearlridge Center also serves souffle pancakes. I never even thought of going there for this as I figured their menu only consisted of rice noodle soups (as their name suggests). They also have dim sum options from 11 am to 6 pm every day.

    Ordered and paid on-line…read more Chicken chow mein sub cake noodles and Mapo Tofu. Saw some of the nuns from OLGC. You know is good value if the nuns are there! Good portions couldn't eat it all. Staff immediately engaged with me when I walked in and had packaged the chow mein sauce separately from the cake noodles as not to soak the noodles. Have been in couple times since it reopened as Grand Chinese Restaurant and each time they surprise me by doing something nice, like the side sauce for chow mein. Next time I'm getting the shrimp with black bean and the stuffed eggplant, bitter melon, tofu trio. Chance a visit for a family night out, you won't be disappointed.

    My dad's friends were visiting da 808, and when they are here, they like to try different Chinese…read morerestaurants on Oahu. I've seen a few of my Yelp buddies check into this Chinese restaurant called - Grand Chinese Restaurant so I decided to take them to this place to give it a try. What can I say about this joint? It's your typical old skool Chinese restaurant, which provides ono Chinese comfort food, great service, & a spacious environment to have a meal with family and friends. The only downside about coming here was that their air conditioner tripped the electrical power here, so it was rather hot/warm inside of the restaurant. We ordered an array of dishes (see pics), and the food was enjoyable. Some of the standout dishes were the Steamed Fish, and the very meaty Roast Duck. Located at the Pearl City Shopping Center, you can find Grand Chinese Restaurant tucked away just next door from American Savings Bank area. Prices here were very reasonable, food portions were more than generous, and the staff provided friendly fast service! Easy 5 stars, but I had to minus a star due to the hot/warm dining area due to the a/c not working. Lol!

    My Boss offered to buy me a plate lunch a while ago, probably around six months ago and we were…read morecraving hamburger steak. So that's what he ordered. Now I wasn't expecting much from this place because it looks a bit old from the outside and no customers in sight. But my mind changed the instant that fork with the hamburger steak went into my mouth! All I thought was "wow, now this is amazing!" I don't come around this spot too often, but every time I do... I can only think of that plate, lol! So today I made the stop and guess what I got? The sad part of it was my phone was blowing up and decided to sit down and answer all the inquiries for our business. BIG mistake on my part... I spent a good hour on the seat not even opening to eat my plate Next time I'm eating first!!! My customers can wait

    Uniquely the only eatery in Palisades in the same lot as the only convenience store, gas station &…read moreshave ice shop, on Auhuhu St. We enjoyed the food when we lived up there and still go back to get our fill or party pans! Portions are big. 2 katsu sub all fried noodle plates can feed 5 of us (2 adults, kids 11, 10 & 6) add on another plate and can feed the older kids at home too. Their burgers are home made, so is their hamburger steak and gravy and the gravy for the roast pork...winnah! We pretty much like everything we've tried here. The chili is different tho, def home made too but not the normal flavors I go for (kinda sweeter yet lil smoky & runnier w/more veggies than meat). Party pans we usually get katsu. Noodles. Or mix of katsu/BBQ chicken. Prices have gone up (like everywhere else) but they do give ALOT. And doesn't help that we sub plates with rice for noodles for like $4 more. The family owned diner is open most holidays, always has customers & they're really friendly. Even the guys in the kitchen smile at you. They let you post flyers on the front glass so they support their community too! I'll be a customer for life!
