You know I am totally in with this place. The people are so nice and the food is good. Don't know if I'd ever eat in house, as it's super noisy, but the food is good for take out. Asia Mix is still in the fav category right next door, but Kevins is more of a full menu place. read more

This has been our "go to" restaurant for local Hong Kong style Chinese food. Prices are decent! Cheaper than a lot of the other Chinese restaurants in town. Their dry beef chow fun is good! Especially when you go lunch time because they have a lunch menu. We have also ordered crispy chicken and I would say it's just as good or better than Happy Day's crispy chicken. Their ong choy is also good as well as their roast duck. Like I said, their prices are cheaper than other Chinese restaurants in town. Only thing is that the place gets loud!! When there's a party in the corner, the place gets really loud! It also gets pretty cold! I like it cold, but dang! It gets pretty cold! I also agree with the other comments on their tables. Hahaha! The legs get in the way. The tables are just regular rose wood style Chinese furniture. Big and bulky! This is our "go to" Chinese restaurant!! Love it!! read more

We ordered a LOT of food, but it was a mixed bag in terms of taste. First the not-reorder-worthy: ginger scallion noodles were a little too saucy - so salty; pan-fried string beans-way overcooked; chicken with bitter melon( I like bittermelon, but this was especially bitter and kind of overcooked too)- I wanted the spareribs with bittermelon but they were out. Now for the reorder worthy stuff- squid with sour cabbage, Chinese broccoli with salted fish, and the best dish was the beef brisket noodle- super tender and rich beef broth! The salt and pepper wings were tasty but cost $14 for 6 pieces. Overall portions were on the smaller side. Average about $13-18 each entree. read more

Lunch specials are very reasonable price. Roasted meats are very good. Sometimes are not easy to find parking.

Best Cantonese roast duck! Juicy & plump duck meat; not the ultra crispy skin, very delicious! Char siu has the perfect balance of salty, sweet, & savory. Roast pork is crispy with flavorful meat. Whole duck is $40; and much larger than most restaurants. read more

Had a dinner with 10 people and it was unanimous that the food was really good and everyone was happy with all of the dishes!! Relieved to have had a good meal. Hope the quality remains consistent and that the acoustics, loud noise in the restaurant is solved. read more

They served lunch special on the weekdays, price was decent, food was great considering everything in Hawaii is pricy.

Food was awesome! Quick service. Good parking. Tables were a little uncomfortable but worth it because the food was so good. We got crispy gaugee (SO GOOD), cake noodle, honey pork, Mongolian beef, and steamed fish filet. Will be eating here again. read more

We really liked the roast duck and salt and pepper pork chops. Will come back. Closed March 25 to 31. The table aprons came down low. My 6 ft husband had a difficult time sitting. Enough parking spaces next to Times supermarket. read more

We came here for a birthday. The food was good, not great Chinese food. But I don't think they use much msg because I wasn't super thirsty after. That's a plus! We were able to bring an outside cake. The service was good. read more

I went after 6pm to order takeout. It was very busy. Staff and customers were speaking Chinese. The staff was very friendly. This didn't seem like a typical Chinese restaurant that I'm used to. I didn't see a lunch plate or dinner plate. I don't remember seeing egg fu young. I ordered chicken with noodles. Noodles were crispy. I don't think it was cake noodles but very good. I also ordered beef fried rice, also very good. And I ordered a fried tofu dish that came with broccoli. I really liked the tofu, silky texture. I would like to try another tofu dish I saw being served but don't know how to order it. I think Kevin's Kitchen is a winner with the community. They already make the parking lot seem too small lol. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had Chinese New Years Dinner here because we heard a lot of good things about the food. If it wasn't for being out of the Roast Duck, I would have definitely rated it a 5 just based on the food. Everything is cooked to perfection and is very tasty. We did not take any photos, thought about it too late all gone but the following are the rating of each dish-Braised Soy Chicken-4, Choy Sum w Garlic-4, Tangy Capitol Pork Chops-5+, Honey Walnut Shrimp-5+, Beef Bitter-melon-5+, Salted Fish Fried Rice-5, Singapore Noodles-4. Definitely would recommend this place. read more

Came back for some roast duck which they had this time. It was really good and costs $20 for a half portion. Definitely will be back to try more of their bbq meats. read more

Kevin from Hawaii Kai Harbour village took over this place and open a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant is right next to Times supermarket and there are plenty of packing. It is May 21, 2025, and the restaurant has only been open for five days. We went on Wednesday night for dinner. It look clean and new inside. There are only three other tables of customer when we entered, however, by the time we leave, the entire restaurant is full. When we placed the order, the waiter advised me that there could be a long wait time for the food because they just opened. It took about 20 minutes wait before our first dish arrived, not that bad, but the last dish arrive after 38 minutes. We ordered the hot and sour soup shrimp fried rice, braised tofu with veg. Chicken with wine garlic in a hot pot. The food tasted decent, especially the chicken wine with garlic. In Chinese, we call it "Wok air" 夠鑊氣. We want to try the char siu but they already sold out, also, some other dishes on the menu is not available. We will go back to try some other dishes once they start to settle down and manage to run more smoothly. Recommended. read more

If you've eaten at the original Harbor Village in Hawaii Kai you might notice some people look familiar at Kevin's Kitchen. It's because they are the one and the same! The food is good and they serve generous portions. I have to point out their very reasonable lunch specials and bentos! I deducted a star because they are so busy that parking may be challenging if you go at peak dining times, and you may have to wait for a table and/or your food to arrive. read more

My favorites place to eat fit Chinese food price is excellent customer service not too good but the food is number one

We made a reservation on Saturday for 5pm (Father's Day weekend). First table in. Place was well-lit, bright. We sat at a table for four. Overall, great first experience! We ordered roast duck, Singapore style noodles (), sweet sour pork, Choy Sum, and the Oxtail in a Hot Pot (pricey but ono). Wow. In all, everything tasted good. Staff were friendly, the dishes were overall great quality. We've been to lots of Chinese restaurants, but this one made our classic favorites colorful and tasty. My husband is very particular so I knew once he liked the roast duck, he'd be a repeat customer. Located in the plaza next to Times. On a Sat nite, it got real loud and all tables were FULL when we left @ 6:30p. But you can see why! BYOB! Would recommend. Reasonably priced, high quality eats! read more

*** dissatisfied customer*** Never coming back. Place is not professional at all. Made a reservation, arrived on time. And they told us our table is taken and it would be another 20 minute wait. The waiter did not apologize nor care. Their planning and organization is below average! Wanted to pull a Karen on him!!! Do I wait or do I find somewhere else to eat? read more

The food was good except the roast duck was a bit dry. Don't go near closing time. Service could have been more attentive, hence the 3-star rating and somewhat dry roast duck. I would go again as the other dishes were solid, and the selection of dishes looked good. read more

Very good Hong Kong style BBQ such as roast duck, roast pork, and chicken. The price is very reasonable and the portion is big. We also tried the crab. It's a bit pricey but if this is Honolulu, so you have to pay up to have good food. read more

Great roast pork, cha sui and duck dishes. Lunch menu is excellent. Staff is nice, dishes come out fast and flavorful. Will be back to try other dishes. But if you have a craving for the meats above, this is a Winnah!!! read more

If you're a taller person, the tables will be very uncomfortable. I had to either have my legs extended or tucked under. If I were to sit normally, my thighs would push up my side of the table by about 2 inches. I suspect they ordered a container of furniture from China where people are smaller in stature. Otherwise, the food is pretty tasty and reasonably priced. Gets pretty busy on Saturday dinnertime. read more

So I was shopping for a few things at Beretania Times, and afterwards decided to stop by Kevin's Kitchen (next door) to see what type of take out I could bring home for dinner. I have not been inside the restaurant since it became "Kevin's Kitchen", but the layout was similar to the other past restaurants that have been at that location. Maybe I grabbed the wrong menu, but everything was listed in Chinese (since it is a Cantonese/Hong Kong restaurant) and my haole eyes could not decipher the code so I ditched the menu and proceeded to the back part of the restaurant where I spotted someone chopping up roast pork, roast duck, and char sui. After checking it out I ended up ordering a pound of roast pork and a pound of Char sui. While they were preparing my order I just got out of the way and watched the employees doing their thing and eating their meals in between working. The prices seem to be pretty consistent with what you would pay for a pound of Roast Pork and a pound of Char Sui. They put everything into a take out bag and after paying I made my getaway. But now comes the main part of my review.....the Roast Pork and Char Sui were AMAZING!!! They were not too fatty and were tender and had a very nice flavor. So that being said, I would highly recommend at lease getting the Roast Pork and Char Sui. If those 2 items are any indication what the rest of their food is like then I'll be interested in trying other dishes in the future! Mahalo Kevin's Kitchen! read more

Food was really good. I only had their lunch specials, but it was a lot of food... Especially for such affordable prices. One of the best Cantonese food places around and will be my new go to for roasted meats without having to venture to Chinatown. I even went back the next day and took one of my girlfriends. read more

Went back to try their Roast Duck which I still prefer Meimei. The uncle who cuts the duck does not want to open a new duck and gave us the half one that might sit there for a while. The duck taste no different than other place. Overall, I still prefer Meimei and would recommend them to everyone. Plus they let you choose too. Beef chow fun - oily and lack of wok qi. Is cheap for $12, but tastes alright. read more

I really love the roast duck. I believe the roast duck is the best in the Island. Most of my coworker taste it and ask where do I buy the roast duck. The skin is crispy and the meat is juicy. The taste is super good, it is hard to describe it. The best way is try it. I love the service there. The staff is friendly. I like the banner, it states " Thank you for your business, our mission is to serve our neighborhood." The food price is supper acceptable, I can not find one restaurant like this. read more

This restaurant has the best Spicy Eggplant dish! I tried it once and had to go back again for more. Their service is fast and courteous. They are genuinely nice. Even though they recently opened, their reputation is spreading quickly! Great atmosphere -- definitely my newest favorite place! read more

The Singapore noodles, cold Ginger chicken, and Mongolian dish was very tasty. The waitstaff was very friendly, and gave us good service, and food came out rather fast, after ordering.A nice place for gathering, with family, and friends read more

Food was excellent, service was fast. Ambiance was a bit noisy because the place was packed!

Ginger onion crab was the best I've had in a long time. Chili garlic crab was great as well!

We went there for lunch and they were busy, the dishes we ordered were quite good. Service was good consideringly. We will be back for sure.

Pretty authentic Hong Kong style Chinese food. Great food and services. They have reasonable daily special. They also make roast duck, roast pork and bbq pork daily. read more

This location has seen quite a few restaurants come and go over the past five years, so I was definitely skeptical about trying another new spot. I hate spending money on food only to end up tossing it if it doesn't taste good. When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. The space looked clean, fresh, and inviting, and the staff was welcoming. One downside: they kept the same tables from previous restaurants, and the chairs are too high for my liking--I couldn't cross my legs comfortably, and I can't imagine it being great for anyone with longer or larger legs either. I started with a half-pound each of roast pork and char siu. Let me tell you--the char siu was *outstanding*. Moist, slightly sticky from the glaze, and perfectly balanced with sweetness. One of the best I've had! The roast pork, on the other hand, was a little bland, but that worked out since I like to dip mine in oyster sauce anyway. Because the char siu was so good, I went back the *very next day* to try more. This time I ordered a half portion of roast duck and the beef chow fun. The duck was flavorful, seasoned just right, and surprisingly not oily. As for the chow fun--the ratio of meat, noodles, and veggies was spot-on. I'm glad I gave this place a chance. It's nice to finally see a Chinese spot in this location that feels promising. I'll definitely be back to try more. I eneded up going back for a 3rd day in a row. Beef Bittermelon - A+ Salted fish & Chicken Fried Rice - A, Shoyu Noodles - D Very bland. read more

We were starving after arriving flight to HNL. The service was a little slow on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was packed. Potstickers were good if a little on the salty side. Beef chow fun excellent. The shrimp was really good too. It's a family friendly locals place with lots of families. Glad to have experienced Kevin's. read more

Kevin's Kitchen is suffering from the waves of coverage via social media. Although it is great for them as a newly opened business to have so much exposure, they're definitely not ready to handle the volume and keep up with the quality that's been advertised. My colleagues and I were interested to try it out after seeing all these posts from Instagram. We expected the place to be very busy and so we decided to order takeout and luckily, one of my colleagues were in the area that morning around 10:30 to physically be there to order 8 combo plates for a 12pm noon pick up. As expected, she stood in that line for about 10 minutes and placed the order, fully paid for. I was the pick up guy. I arrived at noon and the place was packed, as expected. I went to pick up my order and it wasn't ready, which I somewhat also expected. No biggie. Had to wait for another 10 minutes or so and I got to observe how it was and let me tell you - it wasn't pretty. The dining room was jam packed. For staffing there was a guy that mainly runs the register, a couple of food runner people, the main uncle who chops the char sui and poultries up, and a couple of people preparing and packing up the plates. At least that's all the people I saw in the frontline. The customer line was almost out the door, about 8-10 deep right by a couple of dining tables. About half of the tables were waiting for their food with obvious looks of waiting for more than reasonable time. In the span of about 10 minutes I was waiting for my order, which was placed an hour and a half ago, I saw a few people leaving the line they were standing in becasue it wasn't really moving. Anyway I got my order of 8 plates left. Now before I comment on the food, I do have to say that I get Chinese takeout ALOT. Like a couple times a week frequency around town anywehre between Asian Mix, Duck Kee, Duck Lee, Golden Duck, Sandy's Cafe, Wah Fung....I mean all over. I know my Chinese food. Kevin's Kitchen is average. I'm going to give them benefit of a doubt before they're clearly being overrun by customers driven by Social Media and newness and I'm going to attribute the lack of quality to it. I ordered the Char Sui and Roast Duck combo and although it was fairly priced, the taste was really average and the portion looks like a complete mess and inconsistent. We ordered 8 plates and the portions ranges from regular looking like how you would expect from Asian Mix, to 4 pieces of Char Sui and 4 small pieces of ducks. I'll give it another couple of months before trying Kevin's Kitchen again, hopefully by then the crowd would be subsided and I can get a more fair assessment on their taste, portion, and value of these favorite cruise of mine, Hong Kong food. read more
