Bo's Kitchen is a mom-and-pop Cantonese restaurant with other Asian favorites like laksa,…read morejajangmyeon, and Japanese curry, to name a few. This is my first time trying their food, and I have a lot of positive thoughts regarding their dishes. Their beef brisket noodle was one of my all-time favorites compared to other locations, because they are generous with the amount of brisket they give you and they use egg noodles by default. Their soup was okay, but the braised and marinated meat was definitely the highlight of this dish. Overall, a great late night evening option in town for Cantonese comfort food, even among those coming from China; I think that speaks volumes about the authenticity of their food and quality. Highly recommend and would love to return to try their laksa in the future.

I hadn't been here in three years. The first time here I did not like it at all. I decided to Uber…read moreEat it to my job. I got the wonton noodles with brisket. I'm not sure of the price, because Uber has different pricing from the establishment. This time around I really liked it. The broth was flavored and the wontons didn't have big chunks of pork in it. It was actually minced. The brisket was tasty and tender. If you don't know what to get from here, get this. The wonton noodles with brisket. I appreciate that they separated the broth from the noodles. Who wants to eat soggy noodles?

I came here maybe 5-6 years ago when they first opened, mainly to try their famous "flying…read morenoodles," which were such a trend back then. Honestly, everything was just okay--nothing really stood out to me--so we never came back. Over the years, though, I kept hearing friends talk about this place and say it was one of their favorite Chinese restaurants. I was still not convinced... and then my husband started hearing the same thing from more and more people. So, here I am, finally giving them another try! And WOW... the menu has changed and expanded so much since the last time I was here. There are so many more options now, and everything we ordered was flavorful and tasty. The portions are HUGE, and you can definitely tell they don't skimp on the ingredients, produce, or seasoning. We ordered the salted egg chicken wings and the stir-fried ong choy--both were really good! The drinks were also tasty, although they were a little not sweet enough for me, But I'd definitely order one again when I'm feeling healthier. Where have I been all these years?! ‍ This place has officially become one of my favorite spots for Chinese food. Sometimes you really do have to give a place a second chance!

I am loyal to their brisket soup noodle and get that on repeat. Another great dish is their classic beef scallion flying noodles. It's a dry noodle with tasty ground beef, some (little bit of) veggies, with an abundance of noodles. If you're feeling fancy you can get the picture friendly one where the noodles look like it's flying on the chopstick. If you order the dry noodles dishes and choose to add on tendon or veggies, you don't get the cool flying chopsticks. The fried appetizers are okay. The clay pot lamb dish was a pleasant surprise. It's not too gamey and pairs well with white rice. I think it's meant to be shared, but my husband can polish it off by himself. The service is quick. You can scan the QR code on the wall and place your order or the friendly staff will take your order. The technology of the future is arriving folks. It's a nice quaint restaurant that's family friendly too. Happy yelping folks!

The fish mixture is super finely chopped. It comes with miso soup. You can order hot tea to help you digest the meal. It's quite filling. Happy dining!

They have free parking in the small lot right outside their restaurant, but there is also paid parking across the street. We were lucky, and people were leaving as we got there. For 7 of us, we got the rabokki, meat jun, half order of bossam, and kimchee pancake. This was more than enough food for everyone, and we probably would have skipped the kimchee pancake next time. The food was really good, and I would definitely recommend the bossam if you're with a group. The meat is super soft and flavorful, and even the half order was a generous portion. We also ordered the lemon soju and yogurt soju pitchers. They have tablets for you to order the food, which was super convenient. The food comes out pretty quickly, and the service is friendly. Overall, would recommend here for good Korean food and fun vibes.

The restaurant gives off Korean pub vibes, decently sized, and best suited for smaller groups. We ordered a variety of food: chicken combo, kimbap, bulgogi, bossam, and spicy rice cakes. The food was very delicious. My favorite was the bulgogi because it was tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the spicy rice cakes, but I wish they gave a bigger portion of it.. The chicken was okay, but not something I'd order again. The spicy sauce was drenched all over the chicken and was very spicy. The regular crispy chicken didn't have enough salt for me and was overcooked.

There also didn't seem to be much organization, so keep that in mind if you're trying to make a quick stop. As for the pastries, there were some definite winners! We LOVED the poi mochi donut, and surprisingly, the cinnamon roll (which I know isn't exactly what you come to Hawaii for) was AMAZING. The cream puff was also really tasty, but the texture of the shell gave the impression that it had been baked hours earlier and filled more recently. It held together well and tasted good, but it wasn't quite the fresh, delicate pastry I was hoping for. The biggest disappointment was the French donut. None of us could really get through it. The topping tasted overwhelmingly of straight cocoa powder, and the cruller-style donut underneath was just not good. Overall, some real hits and some pretty significant misses. I'd happily come back for the poi mochi donut and cinnamon roll, but I wouldn't go out of my way for everything else.

Living on Maui, one of my favorite noodle dishes is chow fun…read more The child phone beef dish here made Maui chow look like dog poop. My girlfriend ordered the Singapore bitter melon doodle dish, and it was crazy fantastic. The melon was bitter...It was an odd flavor... But new to my pallete. Once I added hoisin sauce, it took it to the next level. I don't think I could go here every week, because the flavors would probably blend together... But once a month, 100% I am hitting this place. If you're in the area, you need to make it a point to come here. Service was on point.

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.

Best believe I would not be late. Food: Shrimp Tempura: 5/5 - I think this is the best shrimp I've had, ever. The tempura was fried to quintessential perfection. Seasoned, light, not greasy and a decent size? My god Experience: 5/5 I'm calling this experience because they do something different here which is you get to grind your sesame with mortar and pestle to create your sauce which I think is a genius interactive element that not only adds to food knowledge but also makes you present. You are partially eating what you create and I like that immersiveness. Part of what also makes it cool is the open kitchen concept. Being seated in the middle of the bar i was able to watch the chefs' process from start to finish which is always such fun to see. Otherwise the service was really good! Ambiance It was what I would call an elevated casual. Not too loud or feeling like you need to be very quiet. I think the price was fair for what I got and all its fixings but its definitely not cheap. With that being said though I do think its extremely worth it if you can get a seat!

That's how much I love Kamitoku. How revolutionary is it to use beef ramen broth (Beefy Wild) as shabu shabu broth. What genius came up with that?? The meat is also thick (unlike OTHER chain shabu shabu places that rhyme with Kabuya) and fills you up quickly (even in the set meals). I usually get the $17 eye round set that comes with meat, broth, veggies, and ramen noodles. I love the Beefy Wild and could drink the broth. Sometimes I get a side of rice and make a lil porridge with the broth. But you cannot go wrong with anything at Kamitoku. I love this place, so please never go out of business!
