The consistency of the tasty menu is what brings my family back to Ho's time and time again. Service is efficient and good. It is a great "to go" Chinese restaurant. Highly recommend the stuff eggplant and lemon chicken! read more

Ho's Chinese Kitchen - da wifes plate. eggplant, egg fu yung, and lemon chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Went to Ho's Kitchen today. Got a plate lunch with pork stuffed eggplant and egg fu Yung. I swear the texture of the egg fu Yung is strange. Doesn't seem like real eggs were used. Don't know if they are using egg substitute. The pork stuffed eggplant is not the same as usual. The taste is different. The fried rice is always bland. Very disappointing. I don't think I'll ever go back there again. Service was ok. One of the workers was on her phone behind the counter. The lady who helped me was fine. read more

The food is horrible! They should stop using the Ho name...it is embarrassing. Nothing like the prior owner. Would rather go to Panda. read more

Lemon chicken like th old days, I couldn't find lemon chicken anywhere then I came to here at the main mall on kauai and it was amazing. The flavor ! The noodles was tasty as well as the should chicken. If you are tired of panada express and it's degrading spicing altered spice Source . They did a great job on this read more

Ho's Chinese Kitchen - Lemon Chicken and Pork w/ bittermelon - Chinese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Their lemon chicken is the bomb diggity! Def bringing me back to my childhood days. There's a couple tables in the inside that you can dine in, but more tables on the outside. I used to spend my Saturday's getting a plate lunch from here. You can do half and half with their rice and yummy noodles, but again their lemon chicken is just so crispy and tender at the same time! The skin is the best part. They also hand you a small lemon sauce to dip it in, which is the perfect amount of lemon flavor. I've tried other lemon chickens before and the sauce always overpowers. But what they're doing here in Ho's definitely surpasses most. I also got the pork stuffed eggplants. Another thing to try if you're doing a 2+ choice is their beef and broccoli. And don't fret if you're not in the mood for their combo choices! They serve stomach warming won ton soup that hits the spot :) read more

Ho's Chinese Kitchen - Lemon chicken and pork stuffed eggplant - Chinese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

I got the Wor Gau Gee Mein. HUGE portion! If you prefer vegetables, char siu and shrimp to won ton, then order this. Broth had good flavor and lots of veggies and noodles. read more

Food was meh. Expensive for the low quality. Seems like they switched from doing actual cooking to just prepping bento boxes. The shrimp tempura was surprisingly somewhat disgusting. Edible food but would not eat it again. read more

This was the worst Chinese food we have ever eaten. The people were very nice though. The egg roles were like a fortune cookie with cabbage goo inside. The noodles were half crunchy (probably sitting out all day). The shrimp fried rice taste like salt water from the ocean. The table where we ate had mustard in a jar and had brown crust all over it. We will never forget this place. A good story to tell my grandkids one day. Anyone who likes this place, I would love to take you to a good Chinese takeout place in VA. Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares definitely should visit this place. read more

I don't know what to say other than I've been coming here for many many years and the lemon chicken and fried rice is always good and perfect, hits the spot. Reliable deliciousness! read more

Ho's Chinese Kitchen - Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

This place cracks me up, a little hole in the wall chinese food place located in the mall. They only accept cash. Limited seating inside but they got the whole food court for seating. Plates run from $7-$12 What they are known for- Their huge portions! Ginger Chicken Stuffed Plant Lemon Chicken Fried Rice Noodles They offer an array of chinese yummies- quick and easy! Perfect place to go for a chinese quick fix. read more

Ho's Chinese Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

I always crave Ho's lemon chicken!! I always get one choice lemon chicken with all noodles and with the sauce on top! The staff is always helpful and Mrs. Hos is always such a sweet heart! I've been coming here since I was a child and I never got tired of that plate. I have tried the stuffed eggplant - which is sooo good! I think that was the first time I actually liked eating eggplant and since then, I've been eating it. So thank you Mr. and Mrs. Ho! lol read more

Ho's Chinese Kitchen - Lemon chicken with sauce on top with all noodles - Chinese Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

I'm pretty sure this is the worst food I have eaten in a very long time. I was super hungry so ate more of it than I should have. But I regretted it immediately. It was unappetizing to look at and when I think back to the goopy, thick sauce on my vegetables, the unidentifiable chunks (I fear meat) I get a little sick. I recognize that many people like this place, most positive reviews I've read are from meat-eaters...but other vegetarians in my group that got the same thing expressed similar feelings to mine. Perhaps it was an off day? I don't know. The only positive thing I can say is that their portions are super generous. Based on my experience with the food, the sloppy interior of the place, and the manner in which they serve the food (brusque workers, cafeteria-style), I don't think I will ever return. read more

My fried rice had something weird in the egg that was long and brown. We don't even know what was in the sweet and sour chicken, but it wasn't all chicken. We barely ate any and tossed the rest. read more

Every Time I'm back on Kauai this place is a must visit. I grew up eating here and their lemon chicken is by far the best I've tasted ever. Service is always friendly, and there is a large selection buffet line for quick to go plate lunches or a dine in menu. The price is great too, competitive but not too expensive, and the portions here are huge. read more

Lemon chicken with noodles is a must try! Our friends from Kaui recommended this place and it did not disappoint...so much so that we came here two or three times during our 10 day stay on the island. Food was fresh and inexpensive. read more

I've been going to Ho's Restaurant since I was a little kid. Even before they were at this location. My favorite dish is the sum see min cake noodles. I hate sharing. We also eat the pork hash, stuffed eggplant and crispy chicken. All faves. Family run and owned and they are so friendly. They know us because we have been going there for years and treat us kindly. I go there every time I am at home. Noodles! MMM! read more

Lemon chicken and stuffed eggplant is the best! Everything else is just ok.

Good food, clean, fast and cheap. A combination that can not be beat. Great fried rice, soya chicken (soy sauce braised chicken) and beef with broccoli all good. read more

Ho's seems pretty much on par for being in a food court-type area, but I've definitely had better. The food my family and I ordered had a bit too much MSG in it as well. Its always nice to find a place that doesn't need to use MSG for flavor, but I don't think this is one of them. I might have high expectations growing up near San Francisco where Chinese restaurants are abundant and varied. Ho's is probably fine if you're used to it, or live nearby because there doesn't seem to be too many options for Chinese food on Kauai. I can't really recommend eating here if you're visiting from a different state or country. read more

One of the best places to get chinese food on kauai. Must try their lemon chicken, their well known for that. Pork stuffed eggplant is also good. Always gives big portions. read more

Maybe I caught them on an off day. Service was a little off. Kept asking for hot sauce and she kept saying Tabasco is fine. Finally had to ask someone else to get me hot sauce. Food tasted over cooked and a bit stale. As I said maybe it was on off day and I like to give people a chance. But next door Aloha Ramen has a great selection and cooks everything fresh. read more

This was the worst food I have ever had! First bite had a small bone, the second bite had another. When I started picking through my plate, it looked like they took the whole chicken and chopped it up bones and all. Do not eat here. read more

I was at the mall desperate for food and decided to eat here. I got white rice and shoyu chicken. My first bite of rice was cold and was crunchy. Like I was eating uncooked rice from a bag. My chicken smelt pretty sketchy to me but I ate it. It tasted how mildew smells. Not even 40 mins later and my stomach is feeling sick. read more

Very disappointing. I've lived on Kauai for years and never went but was at the mall and choose to find lunch and ended up here.. The food was terrible. No flavor, the duck was chopped with bones included so I kept picking the bones out of my mouth. The sauce tasted like thickened wall paper paste. Even dousing the food with soy sauce I couldn't get it to taste of anything. I would avoid this place at all costs. read more

Didn't care for it at all. Lemon chicken was so deep fried I couldn't even eat it. Fried rice also poor. Sorry. read more

For as long as my husband and I have been together (since 2008), Ho's has always been a must whenever we go back to Kauai. It's one of my in-law's favorites and we always take-out food from here. Our favorite is the char-siu chow fun, lemon chicken, pork stuffed eggplant, and beef tomato. We have yet to find another Chinese place that makes their chow fun like Ho's. read more

This place has been running for 28 years and still going strong. This small family business serves the best Chinese plate lunches. Ginger chicken, lemon chicken, pork stuffed eggplant. Egg fu yung. The besssst read more

If you stop at kukui grove you have to stop here for the best lemon chicken I have ever had!!! No place compares!!

Born and raised on Kaua'i, this is one of my first stops when visiting home. Service is always good, sweet Chinese lady always smiling. Lemon chicken and egg fu yung are my favorites, daily specials never disappoint. read more

I love their lemon chicken. But I haven't ate there for like a year or so because I had hair in my food and got a refund. Went there yesterday morning for their lemon chicken again and found a hair in my lemon sauce. So disappointed that I always have hair in my food every time. Won't be coming back for awhile!! read more

Really good authentic chinese food. Not a ton of selection but they cook and get food out fast. The food wasn't for me but my husband loved it. He had the shrimp chow mien and then my lemon chicken. The lemon chicken is dark meat, but make sure you dont get prices that are dried out. If you want authentic Chinese then this is a good start. read more

Not the best service but what do you expect from a pick and choose plate lunch place? The lemon chicken and fried rice is what I crave for!

Not at all Chinese. Basically cheap Plate Lunch with ground up dark meat chicken and associated bone meal covered in Panko breading. Not impressive. read more
