Such a great experience. The service was warm and attentive, and the food arrived right away--fresh, flavorful, and piping hot. You can tell they take pride in keeping the restaurant clean and tidy, too. Although it was a little pricey, I recommend it especially if you are in Kaneohe and you're craving dim sum. Most of all it was approved with 2 thumbs up by our Mamee. We'll bring her back!

Very clean, Female working the  back counter is an asset to this company! Provides excellent customer  Service!

This place is the real deal! Doing an update as I haven't been back for a while! Today 1/20/26, went to pickup early lunch. glad to see they were open at 9:30 am. The gal working the front was so nice, & welcoming, serving takeout & guest eating in. Ordered Beef chow fun, pork hash & Baked charsui buns. The buns weren't made yet & would take 25 mins. Cancelled that order. While waiting I noticed how efficient & friendly to all guest this staff member young lady was! Also, the gal working the kitchen was bringing out the newly made food, working together with the front gal to have everything run so smooth. Kudo's to both of them for a job that usually goes unnoticed! Took home the food & it was excellent! The restaurant is clean & well kept!

I've eaten dim sum my whole life and the dim sum here is legit. You wouldn't think that though by standing outside the door and looking in. It doesn't look like a traditional dim sum spot. They have seating on one side of the restaurant, but it's more of a take out place. The prices are kind of high, especially for a place that's geared toward takeout. I guess it's the going rate and you can't find dim sum anywhere else in Kaneohe. I got the red bean jin dui $6.00, shrimp dumpling $6.50 and black bean spareribs $6.50. The spare ribs and shrimp dumplings were outstanding. It was the best shrimp dumplings that I've had in a while. It was huge and stuffed with all shrimp. The wrapping was thin and transparent. Get the shrimp dumplings! The jin dui was just ok for me. It was still hot when I got them and they weren't deflated. However, something about the mochi tasted off. The mochi was rather thick and it had a soft crunch to it. I like mine super crispy. They also let you graffiti on the walls of their restaurant. The lady handed me a gold marker and I wrote our names on it and the date that we were there.

Apparently they have 2 other locations in Kapiolani and Alakea

Ok.... I see you Dim Sim station. You got a repeat customer. I had been craving manapua all day and was looking for the local style huge manapua kine place. I wasn't too jazzed about going to a "authentic dim sum" place but it was 5:20 pm after work on a Thursday and unsuited my manapua then go home. I'm so glad I stopped in here! I ordered: 2 orders of baked char Siu bao( the kine with a sweet crust) 1 order steamed bao 1 order Siu mau aka pork hash 1 order fried taro Fried rice Honey walnut shrimp. All of this came out to $65 and change. The cashier gave me a free order of steamed shrimp dumpling and while I was waiting for my food, she gave me the last baked bao!!! I ate that right then and there... it was delicious! The walnut shrimp and fried rice was a HUGE portion! The only thing that was meh... was the fried taro that could've used more salt and if you don't eat this type of dim sum fresh and hot, it will be soggy and yes it was. This place is bright and clean, super modern and have seats inside. I will be back

We ordered cake noodles so not sure if this is it but had good flavor

What a pleasant surprise to find a dim sum restaurant in Kaneohe! I thought it was a take out place but they serve fresh, made to order dim sum. Not sure if it was because we got there when the place was still empty, so all our orders were piping hot and made fresh, but it was so good to eat super hot. Service was good until it got busy, then little slower because there was only one lady working. She's great but it was hard work to cover the take out and restaurant side. I love that they keep the red vinegar and mustard on the table so you can eat all you want (without wasting). Size of the dim sum pieces were great! Not tiny pieces, which made the cost much more bearable. Cost is pricey. Dim sum is over $6, but guess that's the going rate now. Noodles are close to $20! The only sad thing was I ordered cake noodle but it came as crispy noodles, not the tight squares. So not sure if was ordered/Inputted incorrectly or they dont make the local cake noodles. Flavor good though. At first I was hesitant to try this place because this is an affiliate of Kapiolani Dim Sum restaurant, which i dont care for no matter how many times ive tried. But im so happy we ate here because ill definitely be back. Fresh and big size dim sum is delicious!

BBQ Pork bun
Rod U.

In the owner's own words (video interview aired on KHON2 Food 2GO segment, July 1, 2024); "The concept is an express style, where you can sit down, eat or take it fresh to go". "...we wanted to do it fresh and we steam it when you order it". OUTSTANDING! But it's not true. Everything taste previously frozen, improperly thawed, and in some cases, stored thawed too long having spoiled. -- Steamed BBQ pork buns - Freezer burned bread. -- Shrimp dumplings - ammoniated shrimp. -- Siu mai - Stinking, spoiled crab eggs. -- Chicken feet - Week sauce and odd skin texture as if frozen hot, ice formed breaking cellular membranes then it was thawed during re-heat. -- Bean curd roll w/ pork - Oxidized garlic in the accompanying sauce that was so overpowering. The only decent item, the abalone sticky rice. Very flavorful with chicken, pork and lap cheong but no abalone. To add insult, prices are HIGHER than their sister eatery, Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant. Someone has to pay for the ton of plastic containers they use. Lesson learned. Want good dim sum? Go to Chinatown where eateries are always busy and the dim sum always fresh because the Chinese customers won't pay for anything less.

Soy chow fun (not salty soy)
Lloyd W.

First thing, when ordering, it's not per piece. One order may have 3 pieces So if you want 3 manapua. It is going to be 1 oreder. If you order pork hash. It is 4 pieces order. Food was great and tasty. Chicken feet: was large feet. Don't know where they came from. This was my only disappointment. Tasty but not want I am use to. Taro puffs : was nice size and crispy. Bean curd roll: is little on the sweet side. Mochi puffs with pork: crunchy and just enough meat. Pork hash: Great as normal Soy sauce chow fun: Not you salty soy. Believe it's the Chinese soy. So it's not on the salty side. When you order 5 or more dishes. You get a free dish free. Service was fast and you are greeted as soon as you step in. Parking is in the main parking lot by McDonald's. The walls are whimsical with drawings and writings from customers. Pros: Nice size dishes. Tasty and some food comes hot and fresh. Cons: taste is not want I am use to but, the items are very tasty. Would I return? Yes. Parking is great. Lots of seating. Air condition.

I guess if you're gonna order at the counter then sit down on the left side of the restaurant, you should know that's for dine in customers, not for anyone just stopping in to get lunch. But when you walk in, there's a counter and it seems natural to think you have to stand there to order then sit down Other than that, it's pretty good. The meat buns (Steamed Char Siu Bao - 3 per order) are quite yeasty in smell and flavor but they got Got anyway. Siu mai and har gao were good, just be sure to ask for chili garlic sauce - they don't give it automatically - just shoyu and hot mustard

Har gao, char siu su, seafood bean curd roll, mochi puff with pork
Ryan M.

My mom's friend says this place is the best which is why I came here. I like that it's an order at the counter type of place which is much quicker than waiting for carts to come around. There are a handful of tables to eat inside but we took our order to eat at home. We ordered har gao, mochi puff with pork, char siu su, and seafood bean curd roll. My mom really liked the har gao, The shrimp was large and had a good shrimp flavor but I thought the shrimp was overcooked and the wrapper too thick. I liked the crust on the char siu su but I wish the filling was more flavorful and had a better texture. I was surprised that the seafood bean curd roll was deep fried. The taste was good but I'm used to them being steamed. The mochi puff with pork was ok. I wish it was crispier but maybe it's because we waited till we got home to eat it. Over all it will get rid of any dim sum cravings but it doesn't compete with the sit down dim sum places in town.

All the goods.  Small sit down area on the side.
LARA S.

It's been a while since I've stopped in here.... Usually go to the town locations. Honolulu and Kapiolani Seafood. But was on the windward side and had a dim sum craving. Sadly they no longer offer any dim sum bentos.... But they have a current special, buy 30 dollars worth of dim sum get one from a list of choices free. I chose siu mai.... Convenient if you're in Kaneohe. ; stars because they no longer get have dim sum bentos which gave you a little bit of everything if you're dining solo and don't want to buy a whole bunch ch of plates..

Bento selection. Great deal and lots of food!  It comes with a canned drink of your choice.
Johanna T.

It's so nice to get quality and freshly-made dim sum on the Windward side. The generally $6.50 per plate price is worth not having to drive to Chinatown. I have eaten at the location, which has a nice side seating area that is clean and well-maintained. I usually take-out my orders. A great deal is the $13.50 bentos that contains portions for one person. It comes with a canned drink of your choice. I haven't been able to finish the hearty portions in one sitting! Their take out bags are really cute, but I've got so many of them at home already. They appreciated that I brought my own.

Looking for a place to eat after an excursion in Byodo-In Temple, I Yelped Kaneohe Dim Sum Station. I was kinna surprised that this dim sum is not the traditional dim sum in carts and laid on your lazy susan table. But rather, it is a fast food type of dim sum. I commend them though as they sent dim sum to are table in a fairly quick manner, despite our 9 person party. Shumai and Har Gow were okay. Dad enjoyed his chicken feet. We had some entrees such as Honey Walnut Shrimp, Steamed Chicken and they were good. I also had my fave Deep Fried Shrimp Ball the the taste was off. They were quick to recover and offered us some custard for dessert on the house. Overall, we were satisfied with Kaneohe Dim Sum Station.

When I found out this was opening, I thought it was great because my parents live in Kaneohe and currently do not like traveling far. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially for the elderly, but I dropped off my parents in this loading zone, and parked. Friendly hello when I walked in. We looked over the menu, and one of the workers gave us some post-its and a pen. You order at the counter and they will keep your check open. We ordered the usual: bbq pork bao, shu mai, chive and chicken dumplings, har gao, beef chow funn, and custard tarts. Everything was decent. My parents are old school Chinese, and they weren't thrilled. They also thought the fried dumplings were greasy. We agreed that the custard tarts were really good! I thought everything tasted pretty good, and especially if you don't have to drive over the hill. But I'm not sold on it. It just seems so impersonal without those carts and eating off paper plates. It's a nice dining room and good AC. I'm going to say 3.5 rounded up. Things could change so I'll be back!

About $150 for all of these delicious treasures :)

I had lunch here with my mom and husband on a Saturday around 1:30pm. The restaurant was packed with a waitlist. We put our names on the list and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. My husband got the beef chow fun $14.50. My mom and I both got the wonton mein $12.99 each. We shared the cheung fun $8.50 and I got the soy milk $5 made in house. I wanted to get the half roast duck $28, but it was sold out. The cheung fun was good. It came with sesame seeds on top. They brought over the peanut sauce. When I asked for the sweet sauce they pointed to the hoisin sauce on the table. It's not the same, but it'll do. If anyone knows a place that serves real sweet sauce with cheung fun, please let me know. I tried my hubby's beef chow fun and it was excellent. It had good wok hei and the beef was tender. The wontons were meh. I haven't had wontons that bad in a while. They were mushy and contained a small piece of shrimp. My mom agreed that the wontons weren't good that day. However, she had wontons there before and they were good. I loved the skinny Hong Kong noodles that came with the wontons. If you're Chinese like me, then you'd know to eat it with the red vinegar. Also, try the house-made soy milk if you get the chance. It was yummy. My mom used to make it, but it takes a lot of work.

About time HKNH gets their due. But the secret's out! The same bouncy, fresh made noodles and the delicious won tons. Not surprisingly, prices have gone up a bit over the years but still reasonable. Food is now served on disposable plates and bowls but we're not coming for the presentation. It's the noodles that shine- recommend the tossed noodles which you can get with a combination of toppings if you can't decide. A must have IMO are the won tons (my usual is won ton and duck combo) And the owner is always nice and welcoming.

I read that Hong Kong Noodle House makes their own Char Siu (Cantonese Barbecued Pork) on Saturday…read more& Sunday. Their Char Siu Chow Fun is available during those days. I knew I had to go as that is one of favorite dishes. The restaurant is a small hole in the wall right across the side entrance of Royal Kitchen. I ordered my Char Siu Chow fun and walked over to also get some food from Royal Kitchen. When I got back, the man who took my order was gone, but my order was ready. I asked the lady at the counter how much it was. She said "no English" but said the amount in Cantonese. Luckily, I understood her, thanks to a few years of Chinese School. What a good deal, Just $12. The Char Siu Chow Fun was prepared perfectly, very delicious and the serving generous. Totally worth driving to Chinatown. I had wanted to try their dumplings, but none were available. I'll be back! Highly recommend! All customers while I was there spoke Chinese. Family business and friendly. May be a challenge to communicate, but not impossible!

It is all about their baked manapuas!…read more As a student at Mun Lun in the 80s, we often had time before class to get a snack. So quick. So simple. So delicious. Some four decades later, I still love their baked manapuas, call it a childhood love and remembrance :) If you don't eat pork, no worries, they have a delicious curry chicken filling. If you're vegetarian, no worries either, they have an incredible sweet potato filling, among other options. Conveniently stamped on the bun and printed on the box so you know what is what. Another childhood favorite from Royal Kitchen is their rice cakes, bittermelon stirfry, and sweet and sour pigs feet. Don't forget, they have tasty jai at Chinese New Year and gau! For countless potlucks, this is the easiest to pre order Chinese Chicken Salad and chow fun by the tray. Lately, my go to pre order has been the Royal Kitchen fried rice and beef broccoli. These two items in particular are easy to plate when I am serving dinner at the shelter. I have the manager on speed dial and she is so quick and easy to coordinate with, even if I have a last minute dinner service to do on short notice. Big mahalo to the Royal Kitchen family! Thank you for great food, great service, and a truly royal experience! Here's to many more years!

I especially want to praise the light fluffiness of the bun, it really made well for whole snack. This place is a sure winner for authentic manapuas and dim sum snacks. My party also got a couple of pork hashes and those were just as good as their manapuas. They were real hardy, filling, and went especially well with their punchy sauce that came with it. Real strong, vivid flavor! Service was also very quick and easy: I was in and out of the place in less than 5 minutes. The only let down was that they were out of their rice cakes, which is one of my favorites from this place. Another thing I will say is that parking can be difficult to get at times, given that the area is a huge, popular Chinese food hub. You may have to look around for a couple minutes before securing a nearby parking spot. Aside from that, this place has all my praise!

Literally, a delicious hole-in-the-wall Chinese noodle shop in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza!…read moreOriginally known as Kong Kee Chinese Fast Food Restaurant around 2011, it changed its name to Heaven Chinese Noodle & BBQ Café in 2021. Not sure why they changed their name, as I remember going there before and after the name change, and everything was the same. Whatever the reason, Heaven Chinese Noodle is easier to remember with positive vibes for this eatery. It's a family-owned business, with old-school cooking done by an elderly couple. Their adult children help out in the front, speaking perfect English and Chinese, taking orders and payment from diners, and conversing with their parents. Their menu includes a basic starch with meat and veggie variations: * Breakfast: meat/shrimp fried rice; sandwiches - butter/condensed milk, peanut butter, meat/egg. * Appetizer: steamed look fun, dumplings, congee. * Soup: meat soup with noodles/fun, won ton, pig feet. * Fried rice noodles: various meats. * Soup noodles: various meats, won ton. * Rice plates/chow mein/chow fun: meats, veggies, seafood. * Fried rice and curry rice plates: meats, shrimp. * Drinks: Hong Kong style teas/coffees. We've enjoyed the dry beef chow fun immensely! Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. The ingredients are all fresh, and everything is made to order. The elderly husband eyeballs the amount of bean sprouts and look fun to be stir-fried in a large wok and turns on the right amount of heat, thereby using the metal spatulas to toss the ingredients and producing the perfect wok hei taste. They also make their own char siu on Saturdays and Sundays only, and I've tried their char siu look fun (dry style), and it is just as good! As a creature of habit, because the dry beef chow fun is so good, we always order it; however, we should try their other dishes, such as congee, won ton soup, and fried rice plates. The family is very friendly, sweet, and welcoming. The elderly couple holds the secrets to a great-tasting dish they will produce! Their adult kids are efficient, friendly, and polite, ensuring that your orders are communicated correctly to their parents. The family caters mainly to Chinese nationals. There are a few tables for dining, but most people do take-outs. The interior is small with an open kitchen and a few pictures and Chinese calendars adorning the walls. There's some clutter of boxes, and the interior and kitchen ould use a good scrub-down, but this is a typical family-run Chinese restaurant. One has to remember that you're here for the food, and not for the ambiance. Hours of operation are: Mon, Wed to Sat 7a to 2p; Sun 7a to 1p; Tues closed. Located next to Royal Kitchen, with its front door facing the side door Royal Kitchen, free parking for the first 30 minutes is provided for all customers doing business within the complex. We look forward to the authentic, great-tasting menu items that are made to order by this wonderful couple who have a keen sense of delicious cooking, and served with generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly customer service! Support local!
