    Update 9-17-26. Another great early bday celebration for one our yelp friends. (My husband). Lol.. The food was ordered by our unofficial major of chinatown Paul C. (Lol). He always does a great job ordering for our group especially from this restaurant. The food was so good that everybody enjoyed it. Great food and great gathering before some of us will be taking vacation shortly. The food and service was great. Thank you Paul C for ordering and organizing this dinner. Thank you Nadine C for reminding us about group photo. If not we go home with full bellies and walking out. Lol.. And forget the picture taking. Lol...

    Everyone has childhood cuisine memories and this place conjures those thoughts with their Chinese dishes and plate lunches. Their sizes for their dishes overall are generous. Their plate lunches are quite heavy when carried out. Most plates are more than shareable. A wide array of diners are found going through their doors Friendly workers. Easy website to order take-out. Private parking lot to the side. Street parking, too. Near the rail station. The creamy-mac salad is dreamy delicious for me. I haven't had a dish here I didn't like.

    On Tuesday 3/17, although it was St. Paddy's Day, we celebrated a belated CNY since Paul C. was out of town and I was in Japan for a week during the Lunar Celebration. No excuse needed for a party. Paul did the ordering and the food was great, as usual. And to top it off, Paul C. paid for dinner. Then on Saturday 3/21, Chun M. from New York was in town and we again had dinner at Magoon Chinese. Paul C. again ordered and Daniel C. provided the restaurant with a large fish to cook for our dinner. All the food was great, and chun M. served the fish to us in superb style. And to too it off, Chun paid for dinner for the nine of us. Believe it or not, I took photos this time.

    I had a meeting nearby Lagoon Drive near the airport from 11am to 12pm. I was hungry afterwards and Lagoon Chinese Restaurant was nearby. I heard they got good food so I decided to check it out. It was fairly crowded during lunch and I noticed the takeout side was busy. Decided to try the beef brisket over chow fun noodles. It looked and tastes good. Prices are reasonable. Service was fast and friendly. Try it if you're nearby

    On another foodie adventure with Yelp Elite All Star buddy Donna O. I was introduced for my first time to Lagoon Chinese Restaurant. Mind you, I just enjoyed a full nine course plus Chinese dinner the night before at Yi Xin Cafe, in the Market City Shopping Center. Sadly, I was not hungry for Chinese food, and Donna assured me that the restaurant had many other choices. There is free parking available here in a small lot. Otherwise, you will need to find street parking. Restrooms are available outside the restaurant and you will need to request the key for entry into the bathroom. Minus one star for MSG used here. It's just not my favorite seasoning. I know it adds flavor! But I'm sensitive to MSG. I ended up ordering a hamburger with crinkle cut fries. Donna ordered Minute Chicken with cake noodles, and stir fried green beans with pork (not on menu). Donna let me try both dishes. Both were very tasty! My hamburger and fries were good. I enjoyed the crinkle fries, which are served hot! Service was friendly and efficient here. Would I return here again? Definitely, but I'll be careful of the msg used here.

    Delicious hidden Chinese spot! Busy with lots of takeout at lunch, but food came out decently speedy and very fresh for those dining in. Parking directly for the restaurant is minimal, but they allow for parking in the attached hotel spots. So it becomes even more easily accessible! Chow Funn is one of the best on this island that I have had so far. Fried rice is a bit flavorless, alike to unseasoned white rice. Strong beans were flavorful, and cooked to have a perfect crunch!

    Heard about Lagoon Chinese Restaurant from my favorite Aunty. We finally got the chance to visit them. Located on Waiwai Lp along the Skyline Route. The exterior is misleading (building from the 60's). Inside is a cute and cozy dining room. Service is great. They're very fast and efficient. Lots of "Take Out" orders. Menu is very interesting. It's a combination between Dinner food and Chinese cuisine. We ordered the Gon Lo Mein and the Sweet and Sour Cabbage with Beef. Both were prepared fresh and served streaming hot. Simply delicious . Great for Lunch or Dinner. Highly recommended

    Roast chicken over cake noodle
    Mari D.

    A tried and true lunch option you can never go wrong with when you're craving quick Chinese food. So much so, that this place is in my colleague's rotation of suggestions whenever we want take out. I usually go with their lunch combos, but I decided to try something new this year and get their roast chicken over cake noodle. I was not disappointed! For less than $20, I got two meals out of this because there was so much! The chicken was moist but had a flavorful and crispy skin. My only tip would be to order the sauce/veggies they top the cake noodles with on the side so your noodles don't get too soggy. To reheat, pop it in the air fryer and you're good to go!! I've only ever ordered take out from Lagoon, but at some point, I'd like to dine in. My coworkers say service is pretty quick and whenever we order take out, our orders are typically ready for pick up within 15-25 mins.

    Their local blend taste of Chinese food is amazing that we all enjoy. Either we call in to take out or eat their menu chef cooks to our standard of local Chinese cuisine. It's a hole in wall restaurant hidden by the old airport road... no reservation required we always walk in...

    One Day I decided to hop on the rail to check it out... Parked my truck at the closest Park N Ride and hopped on the train... i remembered i've always wanted to try Lagoon Chinese. So, i hopped off at Āhua Station on Lagoon Drive. Ordered me Pork and Bitter Melon & Pork with Ong Choi... Took these dishes to-go and hopped back on the rail because i had a pot of Jasmine rice waiting for me at home... The food was so good. The ladies and the counter were nice... Food probably took 10 minutes after i ordered it... I'll definitively come back and try the other dishes. Especially, if the 2 i ordered before were a smashing hit!!!

    Chow fun
    Paul M.

    We came here for an early Sunday dinner and food was fantastic! The chow fun was excellent here, perfectly sauced, soft with a slight chew, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was great! This place has great local Chinese food, good prices, and generous portions. We will be back!

    After many visits with friends and with my mom, I would now rate it a 5 stars for the yummy food, great service, and good prices! As a group, I was fortunate to try a variety of new dishes and some I may not have ordered it if I was on my own. Growing up, we stuck to the same old dishes that I grew up on like gon lo mein , beef broccoli, beef chow fun, taro duck, almond duck, etc. As a group, I was able to try other dishes such as chicken & salty fish fried rice, sweet & sour cabbage, string beans with minced pork and I enjoyed it! Lagoon Chinese restaurant is a hidden gem off of Lagoon Drive on Waiwai loop. Who would have thought there was a Chinese Restaurant here until I saw the check ins from Elite Yelpers Jo Y, Paul C and Heidi H! Not only serving Chinese food but they are opened for breakfast with breakfast and local barbecue dishes. They catered to the Pacific Marina Inn guests on property too. Not only was the food delicious here, it was pretty reasonable compared to other Chinese Restaurants' prices. The restaurant was casual and clean. The one unisex restroom was outside and shared by others but needed a key. Service was good and hot tea is complimentary. The restaurant was popular among locals and they are really busy with take outs orders! Abundance of parking near by on the street and parking in the lot to the right near the restaurant. I was told you can park any where on the property! My friend who always preferred to eat anywhere but Chinese food for years, enjoyed the food here! My mom and I dined here twice and ate the same two of my favorite dishes again. My mom enjoyed it so much, and told the lady worker that everything was so good and it was her first time here! Wondering what it was? The minute chicken cake noodles and string beans with minced pork (not listed on the menu) were really tasty here! Great chef skills! With so many Chinese restaurants closing especially the old school chop suey places, I'm so glad we still have a few good restaurants left! Hard to find good chef with great skills to make all these unique dishes. Btw-You may like their braised brisket with look fun too! Give Lagoon Chinese Restaurant a try! I would come here more often, only wished they were near my home!

    Combo C
    Marisa G.

    Lagoon Chinese Restaurant is located inside/right next to Pacific Marina Inn Hotel. My boyfriend was staying at that hotel when he came to visit and I heard good things about the restaurant. We weren't really hungry but still wanted to fill our stomachs with food, so we went kind of late... about an hour before closing. Since we weren't hungry, I didn't get to order anything my friends recommended (bad mistake). We decided to share the Combo C plate which comes with fried rice, sweet sour spareribs, roast pork, beef broccoli, and 2 pieces of crispy won ton. Okay, I'm not gonna lie... it was okay. It wasn't the best and it wasn't that terrible. BUT the crispy gau gee was the most terrible part. The filling was so so tiny that we didn't eat it. I will come back here another time and order some of the things that my friends recommended :)

    How Have I Never Been Here Before? The Crab Curry Is a Must!…read more If you're craving flavorful Asian food, this spot is worth a visit. It's tucked into the corner of Market City Shopping Center next to Earl Sandwich Shop. The main parking lot gets busy, but there's parking in the back, too. We had a 7:45 p.m. reservation on a busy Friday night and were seated shortly after our reservation time. Once we sat down, service was great. We got water right away, and our food came out fast and hot. The shrimp chips tasted freshly made--warm, light, and so crispy. The salted egg yolk fried chicken was juicy inside with a crispy coating. The green beans with minced meat had just a little kick without being too spicy. The beef fried rice was good, though I expected a bit more flavor. But the crab curry stole the show. The crab was cooked perfectly, and the curry was packed with wonderful spices and flavor. I'd buy a container of just that curry if I could! Definitely make a reservation if you can. Walk-ins are welcome, and there's a sign-in sheet, but you may have to wait. Reservations can take a little persistence to get through, and this place is worth the effort. One more tip: it's BYOB!

    My friend wanted to try it so we went! Not busy, but made reservation for a Thursday night. Popular…read morefor their crab dishes, every table had crab. Crab was a little expensive, but we did it. Curry crab- sweet curry, kind of an Asian style curry flavor. Not Indian. It's in between a Chinese and Thai curry. fried rice- it's not salty enough. It was okay. Hong Kong lemon tea- not strong enough, watery. True Hong Kong lemon tea is very strong. Black pepper sizzling beef- the most flavorful and tender dish. Chili oil- I asked for chili oil and they really gave me chili oil. I asked for chili oil with the pepper flakes and they said they charge money for that. So I just opted for the chili oil to make my friend rice more flavorful and a bit spicy, the oil was spicy, that's it, no flavor. Customer service- the male servers were very attentive. A typical Chinese restaurant inside

    Time for an update as I realized my last review of Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant dates back to…read more2014. I used to come here all the time with my coworkers for lunch, as Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant was just a hop, skip, & jump away from my office. Through the years, the business & location hasn't changed, but if I'm correct, I owners of the business have changed hands several times. I remembered the last time I came here was during Covid-19 where Golden Eagle Chinese was just doing "take-out" and no dining inside was available. Since the pandemic has passed us, everything is back to normal with the exception of different owners. This past Sunday I decided to drop by the Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant to buy some steamed fish filet for my dad. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I must say not much has changed as far as the decor of the restaurant. What I did get from Golden Eagle was fast and friendly service, and a wonderfully made dish of steamed fish filet with ginger & onion (dad approved)! If you're Jonesing for Chinese food, give Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant a try!

    This is an old school Chinese restaurant that locals know about. Janey told me to meet her here…read moreand I had never been and she was surprised. It's quaint inside, but again, old school, so you'll see some boxes stacked in the corner. Janey got there first and said the man working was kinda unfriendly. But I think it was more about not knowing who we were, and like I said, lots of locals that frequent. The woman working was really nice! I just let Janey order. We started with some delicious hot n sour soup. The fried rice was really good! Loved the crispy skin duck! The gau gee mein had a great assortment of vegetables! And the sauteed choy sum(?) was good! Overall, really good local Chinese food! Though the interior is nice, it was a little warm even with the AC. The setting sun was just hitting the windows and even with the filter, it was warm. Other than that, great place to come to! Mahalo Golden Eagle!

    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.

    FIRST time customer - Growing up only 2 blocks away from this location 70 years ago I vividly…read morerecall walking with my POPO and mother headed into Chinatown to spend the morning shopping at the open MARKET and after to have LUNCH at either Char Hun Sut and or Tin Tin - Our favorite order was soup'n noodles , a steaming HOT bowl of "Won Ton Mein" and or "Wor Won Ton Mein" - Mmmmm - After the KAPOLEI Chinese restaurant in KAPOLEI "closed" so abruptly and PERMANENTLY I was shocked and extremely UPSET since very few "old school" Chinese restaurants here on Oahu still cook the type of dishes that my CANTONESE pallet craves and savors - Still reeling from this loss and desperate to satisfy my hunger for just a DELICIOUS bowl of "Won Ton Mein" - So desperate for this specific cuisine I went on line searching "YELP" to search for a recommendation and came across this restaurant "Lam's Kitchen" - I drove from my home in EWA Beach (West Loch Fairways Townhomes) into Chinatown in the old RIVER STREET neighborhood hoping that this restaurant would have something that would satisfy my desperate craving for a great bowl of "Won Ton Mein". I arrived at noon and was very lucky to find a metered parking spot across from the restaurant on the very first try - As I entered I noticed that the room was very crowded and that here was only ONE open table so I sat down immediately and ordered the "Won Ton Mein" as the waitress approached me with a menu - I have to note that although this restaurant was located inside of a very old building the interior was a very sharp contrast - Everything appeared fresh and modern with very basic hand built picnic type bench seating and dining tables constructed of varnished raw wood (very spartan but practical and comfortable) - The bowl of soup was of average size and appeared very sparse with not much color - There was "NO" Pork Char Sui slices, only steaming hot clear chicken broth, a clump of thin Vermicelli white opaque noodles accompanied with a few small pieces of both chopped Mustard, Napa Cabbages and slivers of Green Onions - Extremely simple and basic. There were exactly "4" individual Won Ton that were filled with a tiny chunk of SHRIMP mixed into minced PORK HASH and regular spices (basic Soy sauce and Sesame Oil) - The "won ton PI" was very thin and light and the saimin noodles were made of the same Rice Flour mixture also - The broth was hot and savory but nothing special only because it was so "bland" to the taste. Although the restaurant was crowded to its Maximum Capacity within 15 minutes of my arrival it had practically "emptied itself out" with only myself a one other table of 6-dinners getting their food too. I will probably return to eat at this restaurant if and when I get another pressing urge to satisfy one of my insatiable cravings to drive all across Oahu from EWA Beach to Chinatown in the city of Honolulu . The "PLUS" about this visit is that it was clean and the service was average but not disappointingly "long" despite how busy and crowded the entire restaurant was when I first arrived

    Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I asked my sister what she wanted to eat for her birthday: Dimsum! I suggested that we go to this new location of Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant. She agreed! The covered parking lot is free! Just follow the signs and park in the designated numbered stalls. Inside, it was crowded and noisy! I wrote our name on the list and got called quickly! My sister wrote our order on the menu: shrimp dumplings, seaweed roll, deep fried taro puffs, shrimp and chive dumplings, mochi rice, pork-filled deep fried mochi, and custard tarts. Later, we added on an order of house noodles... they were thin, crisp, and tasty! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented! Service was efficient! There were different people delivering baskets and plates to our table. They just crossed off menu items on the printed list as they arrived. My sister and her husband were really happy with this meal! I was, too! Note: i even took home the leftover noodles! Yay!

    We had been to Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant several times at its old location across from Ala Moana…read moreMall, and it used to be a five-star place for us. The new location is only about a block away, with a much nicer, newer interior. Unfortunately, the food seems to have changed much more than the address We ordered four dishes: mochi rice, pork buns, siu mai, and chicken feet. Almost everything arrived cooler than it should have. The chicken feet and siu mai were warm rather than hot, while the pork buns were closer to cold. More importantly, it wasn't just a temperature problem. The chicken feet in particular tasted noticeably worse than before, lacking the flavors and spices we remembered. The mochi rice was the most normal of the four, but even that felt fairly unremarkable There was a table next to us that came in excited to have dimsum. And watching their reaction, they came to the same conclusion as us -- food was cold, and flavors were off. We went on a weekday, so it's possible the kitchen was different that day, but the drop in quality was hard to ignore. The restaurant wasn't busy, service was good, and prices seemed unchanged from our previous visits. The new space is a clear improvement, but based on this meal, the food unfortunately went in the opposite direction. We likely won't be coming back
