    I've been to JADE GARDEN in Waipio near Foodland twice so far. The first time I came here was with some friends for a gathering. We dined in and I thought our dining experience was good...just your typical Chinese restaurant. I remember ordering Minute Chicken over Hong Kong fried noodles that was delicious! However, when I got my bill, I didn't realize that I was charged extra for the Hong Kong style noodles. That blew my mind! That sure was a learning experience for me. Yesterday, my husband was hungry for Chinese food and he wanted to order takeout out to eat at home. I was in the neighborhood so I decided to come here. My husband ordered the dinner plate and he really enjoyed it. I ordered the beef with sweet sour cabbage and I thought it was delicious! So if you are in the neighborhood, go and check out JADE GARDEN! You'll thank me for that!

    Always nice to eat at Jade Garden. We usually order more so we can have the leftovers for the next day. Our favorite is the salt and pepper shrimp, pork and bitter melon, stuffed eggplant and stuffed bitter melon. In fact, so far everything we order there is good. The Jin dui for dessert is delicious when it just comes out of the kitchen nice and hot. Service is excellent too. We make it a point to drive from Waianae to Waipio

    I've been eating Jade Garden's food for years and it never disappoints. With options for take out and dine in, it is also a great place for larger parties with lots of parking. The owners know my Uncle who has been ordering here for years and they are very friendly and provide super fast service. While the interior is a little outdated, you definitely go for the food. This past visit was for a party and had about 11 courses of all of my favorites including duck and honey walnut shrimp. As I mentioned the portions are large so we had lots of leftover that lasted for days.

    We often order takeout little early for dinner because after 5:30pm the restaurant is busy. Sometimes it takes a while for someone to pick up the phone so we call in around 4 or 4:30pm. When it's not their busy time, food is ready in about 20min. Food is always good and portion is good too. Our favorite is minute chicken, Ong Choi with garlic sauce and shrimp & char siu fried rice. It's good to order takeout but also good for dinning in. I've seen big groups and birthday parties there.

    The service was very good. There was only one other occupied table in the restaurant. It was a late lunch, like 2 o'clock. When I was leaving, more people came. There's still a steady flow of customers at this hour. I was feeling hungry for some wonton. Their wonton mein hits the spot. I'd be happy to have a Chinese food spot like this in my neighborhood.

    Auto 15% tip added to bill without letting me know.

    Although the workers were nice the food was more on the bland side. My big issue is they charge a 15% automatic tip. But they didn't let me know a head of time. If I didn't catch that on the receipt they would've received the 15% they added plus a cash tip I was about to leave. It's not right to rip off your customers. Let them us know you'll be adding an automatic tip. There's no signs posted around the restaurants about this.

    Before making a phone order for my girlfriend and I we were trying to kinda calculate how much it would be for honey walnut shrimp, egg fu yung, and their shrimp fried rice from their menu on their website (jadegardenwaipahu.com). After doing to the math total with tax should of been close to $34 ish. When we got there we payed $50+ for a small portions of honey walnut shrimp, a small portion of egg fu yung, and a decently portion of their garlic shrimp fried rice. Food was decently tasty but definitely not for the price we payed. When my girlfriend went in to pay and everything the person in the front took the card and didn't finish the transaction, instead he took a call and had her wait a bit. We were told 10-15 min on the phone and left the house after 10min of putting the order in (the place is about an 8min walk from the house). She then had to wait once she got there.

    We have been coming here for years. It's convenient and lots of FREE parking. This is your typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Lots of people get take out. You can BYOB Juice, Beer, Dessert and paper goods. Our usual order is Walnut Shrimp, Cold Ginger Chicken, House Cake Noodle, Steamed Fish, Black Mushroom with Tofu & Vegetables, Steamed Rice and Hot Tea.

    Garlic shrimp fried rice and Sam See cake noodles
    Jay T.

    Well, I finally found a Chinese restaurant relatively close to my new home. Waipio and Mililani Mauka aren't what you might consider as "near", but it's near enough to consider it being "close to my new home". I studied the menu and saw that they offer a pretty extensive and reasonable lunch combo. Too bad it ends at 3 pm. I'm here to pick up dinner. Decided to get my favorite go-to dishes: Shrimp Fried Rice and Sum See cake noodles. Shrimp fried rice is pretty well seasoned with a generous amount of shrimp. The sum see cake noodles were packed in 2 separate containers. One for the crispy fried noodles and another for the topping. It's separated so the cake noodles can stay crispy... Impressive! Or so I initially thought. I got home and emptied the topping over the crispy fried cake noodles, let it soak the sauce for a little bit, then dug in. My first reaction was; WHAT THE HELL....? The cake noodles were.....CHEWY....!? It seems the noodles were pre-fried and set aside and stored, until somebody ordered it. What's the point of keeping the noodles separated from the topping if it's stale? This totally defies comprehension. The other places fry the noodles and cut them into squares after the order comes in. My order came out relatively quickly and the staff was courteous. Judging from the amount of orders coming out of the kitchen, it seems to be the neighborhood favorite takeout spot. I hate to rant on everybody's favorite, but the cake noodles are not happening.... It's a bit generous, I'll give it 3 stars.

    The food selected was delicious- our family picked the 9-courses. Party of 13 (2-kids included). I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our party. The table was ready for us. Good thing I called because there was already a large party going on half of the restaurant & as soon as we sat the rest of the place got filled on that Sunday lunchtime.

I always like to call in my order so that I don't have to wait and I can just pick up and go. They do have a few tables to eat on if you'd like to dine in.

I take a bite of the kau yuk which, I know and love, and I spit it back out. No joke. I don't know how to explain it. But it tasted like bad (spoiled) meat in some kind of red sauce! The Usual kau yuk flavor was not there and definitely not tender. Not this one! It was like old meat that tasted somewhat rotten! I picked up every meat and smelt it and stupidly even bit it! They All smelt weird, and Chewy like previously prepared pork and wasn't cooked enough or kept at the right temperature! Plain and simple spoiled!

Wong Kung Chinese Restaurant is located in a small strip mall a few doors down from the FAMOUS Elena's Filipino Foods restaurant. Wong Kung Chinese Restaurant looks a bit dated, but since I'm a fan of old skool eateries, I figured I'd give a try. Upon looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Menu for Five" which the price was listed at $99.99, and the following items were on this menu - 1. Scallop Soup 2. Mix Seafood with Vegetables 3. Fried Fish Cube 4. Char Siu Fried Rice 5. Roast Duck (1/2 order) 6. Sweet Sour Spareribs 7. Beef Broccoli 8. Sam See Mein What can I say about the grub??? Overall, most of the food items were pretty good, with the exception of the Scallop Soup which my dad & I found to be a wee bit too salty. I also found that the Roast Duck appeared to be kinda dried out. As for the rest of the menu items, it was pretty good! Some of the outstanding items were the Fried Fish Cubes, as it was nicely deep fried & although a dipping sauce was given, it was not necessarily needed. The stir-fried items like the Seafood w/Vegetables and Beef Broccoli are hard to mess up, and those dishes were good. The Sam See Mein was also delicious, and I would easily come back here for their noodles. Service here was on point, fast friendly service. When I paid for the meal, I'm not sure if they automatically added on the tip? The bill came out to $119.70 (not including tax) when on the menu, it said $99.99. To top it off, there was another 3% charge if you pay via credit card. I think the business needs to update the menu, if you're not going to stick to the prices as listed on the menu.
