Cake noodles.
Michael W.

When it's your birthday, you need to eat noodles. That has been long ingrained in all Chinese people since the beginning of time. While it wasn't my birthday, our friends told us we had to get cake noodles, a Hawaiian dish inspired by a Chinese dish. Our friends had insisted that this place did it best and wow, this place is good. I the cake noodles was a textural delight. I enjoyed the gravy sauce on top. It was flavorful. The restaurant itself is cozy. I don't recommend coming here with a big group but a group of four? It's doable. Stop in for good eats.

Toss noodles w choi sum and won ton.

Lee Ho Fook does one dish better than other places. Their minute chicken w cake noodles. They are a small husband and wife operation. The restaurant is small but kept clean. As longtime owners they have regulars who have their own favorites but even if you are a newcomer you will be treated cordially. I've seen solo diners come in and order won ton noodle soups and beef dishes. I've tried them but found they aren't nearly as good as several other places in Chinatown. The minute chicken is nicely charred and flavorful with a little gravy. Their cake noodle is one of the best in town. Combine them and you have their signature dish. If you enjoy cake noodles then almost other dish w the cake noodles will probably satisfy. But if it's your first time, or you want to try their best dish then minute chicken w cake noodles is the way to go.

Cake Noodle Fact: Cake noodles aren't "cake" in the dessert sense (tragic, I know). "Cake" refers to the noodle being pressed into a round, compact disk before it's pan-fried, which is exactly how you get that crispy-meets-soft texture moment. And yes, now I will absolutely be thinking about them often. If you think you know cake noodles because you've had Cantonese noodles before, Lee Ho Fook in Honolulu's Chinatown is here to humble you. I was definitely humbled. Tucked along the canal in Chinatown, Lee Ho Fook Restaurant is one of those cozy little neighborhood spots where the tables are close, the room is snug, and the noodles do all the talking. My Honolulu homies, twinsie "Auntie" Nadine C. and Cycle Buddy Randy S., brought me here for noodles and I'm eternally grateful they did. We ordered the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, tossed noodles with choi sum and won ton, plus a side of ong choy. Every plate understood the assignment. As an Arizona girl, I had never had minute chicken or cake noodles before and fully assumed they'd be in the same lane as Cantonese noodles. Yelpers, I was wrong. Delightfully wrong. Cake noodles are a Cantonese classic but the magic is all in the texture: pan-fried until golden and crisp on the outside, while the center stays soft enough to soak up all that glossy savory sauce. It's the best of both noodle worlds - crispy and chewy. A true textural delight. The Minute Chicken Cake Noodles were the star for me. That contrast between the crispy edges and soft middle was wildly satisfying, and the chicken was silky, savory, and exactly the kind of comfort food that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening. The tossed noodles with choi sum and won ton were equally comforting in a more classic, no-fuss way, and the ong choy was the perfect green side dish that was garlicky, fresh, and necessary. Lee Ho Fook is small, comforting, and exactly the kind of place you want when what you really need is a bowl of something delicious and humble. Come hungry, bring a few friends, and order the cake noodles.

Minute chicken and cake noodle. Shrimp fried rice.
Scott H.

Shrimp fried rice was fantastic. No filler. Cake noodles and choy sum gravy was really good. Minute chicken had plenty bones. That was disappointing. Order online so you don't have to wait to pick up your take-out. Restaurant is small, so no place to hang out waiting for your food.

Same good service from a family run staple in cultural plaza. noodles fried crispy with the gravy and seafood or meat. Tea is served to wash down oil.Try the soup noodles everything is good.

Lunch Time!!!
Debra N.

We were so hungry that six of us scuffed up our minute chicken over cake noodles. The sauce was so tasty and savory that it softened the cake noodles. The minute chicken was fried well done and Choy Sum was crunchy (1/2 cooked). I dipped my chicken in mustard and shoyu. It really didn't need it but I love the flavor of mustard. Someone order side of soup, but looked like chicken broth. Of course, we have to have our hot tea. One of the ladies had the fried fish balls over loose noodles...no complaints from that side...just quiet eating. The service was great very attentive. And ambiance was average... Come check this place out! Ciao!

Grace K.

Phenomenal food! Had the minute cake chicken and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. What a gem of a little place. Don't miss out!!!!

Tin Lung C.

I cannot even remember how many years we have been coming to this place, it has to be over 40 years, back in the day, Mrs. Wong was the owner. The current owner took over just about 30 years ago. Their fish ball / fish cake look fun is their signature dishes. This is our go to place for 魚蛋粉. The restaurant is small and cozy, seats about 20 people. Since we know the owner for many years, when we dine at the restaurant, we talk story with the owner, so, we feel like home. Their food is good with reasonable price, their mini chicken noodle is also famous too. If you have not try it, you need to go check it out. If a restaurant stays in business for over 40 years, it must be good. Recommend.

Lee Ho Fook Restaurant **** RECOMMENDED **** Food: **** Value: **** Menu: **** Ambiance: *** Service: **** Parking: **** Chinese Cultural Plaza When I asked my local Chinese friend, where was his favorite Chinese restaurant? Lee Ho Fook Restaurant was one of his recommendations. He warned me that it is a hole in the wall next to the river by the Chinese cultural Plaza. He informed me that they primarily serves soup and noodle dishes, but he said the food was tasty. When we got there for lunch, every table was taken, so we waited a few minutes to be seated. The waitress, and possibly a co-owner, was super nice, friendly, and gave us excellent service. Our dishes were good, and I would return if I were in the neighborhood. They are similar to Lam's Kitchen, but their selection is a little bigger. I think Lam's kitchen is a little better, because they make fresh noodles daily. You may want to look at the menu and pictures of the dishes, before going here. This is not your typical Chinese restaurant with lemon/orange chicken, beef, broccoli, and fried rice. Lol! But if you love Chinese soup and noodle dishes, it's definitely worth a try.

#35 Fish/Pork Balls in Egg Drop
Paul C.

After a previous visit a couple of years ago to Chinatown favorite Lee Ho Fook (LHF), I walked away disappointed as the food quality and quantity declined where I walked away sad. This was a family favorite where we'd patronize here regularly. After seeing some food pics posted by Rod U. and Lyla D., both who I highly respect as they have high standards for Chinese food, I convinced the family to give them another try. Yesterday was spent running errands so appointments and deadlines where I planned an early lunch in between. I was glad LHF only had a table occupied and for those who know this business, the restaurant is small and there were 5 of us. My family allowed me to take the lead in ordering. I know my family's palate so it wasn't difficult to select the menu. I ordered with the new boss lady, who happens to be the niece of the original owner Wong-tai. We asked for iced water and hot tea and waited patiently as our food was being prepared. THE VERDICT: The food quality this round was much better than my previous visit and brought back memories of my younger days eating here. Majority of our dishes were executed well. Star of the show was the cake noodles. Indeed, due to inflation the portions are smaller but I strategically paid the surcharge for extra noodles. The cake noodles were still crisp on the bottom after the hot gravy was poured on top. I'm a huge fan of bone in chicken as the meat tastes better. Need to be careful of the bone shard when eating. We also got the combo beef brisket and beef tendon (surcharge for doing a combination) cake noodles. This dish was polished off quickly as family absolutely enjoyed the beef and cake noodles preparation. Highly recommended. Menu item #36: fish/pork ball in egg drop. Another classic dish of LHF. We were advised the recipe changed a little to be more health conscious as previously chunks of pork fat was used. The new chef omitted the fat component and the dish was still delicious. Favorite niece by default commented this dish brought back fond memories of her childhood as this was one of her favorites here. I decided to follow the table next to us by ordering pepper salt shrimp, which was absolutely delicious. The boss lady commented this is her personal favorite here. It was deep fried where the shells were crispy and the shrimp texture wasn't compromised. Loved the sliced jalapeños and garlic that was tossed in high heat for the wok hei flavor. We also got the won ton soup, which was good but we've had better. The disappointment was the beef chow funn (dry style). It lacked the flavor and texture of a highly skilled chef to toss look funn noodles on high heat. The house made chili oil is a must when eating food here. Add a little soy sauce with the chilies to enhance the food here. Service was above average as it was just a two person team. The boss lady was personable and served us while taking care the front of the house all by herself. Two other tables came in after we sat and the phone rang for a carry out order. Interior is just like how I remembered them in the 90's. It's somewhat dingy but the restaurant interior is kept clean and not well lit. Overall, a fantastic lunch at LHF where I'm already looking forward to my next visit. For sure I'll be getting the beef brisket, beef tendon, cake noodles and the salt pepper shrimp. These items were that good where I'm already craving it despite eating this yesterday.

Stick with YELP recommended tried and true dishes and you won't go wrong - stray from the popular dishes and you may have a problem- Nuf said

My wife and I had been craving good Chinese food for a while, so after finishing my workday in town and getting the suggestion from my wife that Chinese sounded good for takeout dinner, I crossed into Chinatown and tried Lee Ho Fook for the first time. The first thing I saw when I walked in was the owner making dumplings by hand. That immediately gave me the feeling I was in the right place. Growing up I watched my own Mom make our version of dumplings, so seeing that kind of care and craftsmanship felt familiar. The owner was warm and very welcoming, and as each dish was completed she brought it out fresh from the kitchen, which gave me a chance to taste the food while it was still steaming. It was hot, but I could not stop myself from sampling it :) Everything I ordered was delicious and clearly made fresh. I'll be honest though, watching the dumplings being prepared right in front of me was a real highlight. I'm sure that some of you out there can relate to this. I also had the chance to meet owner's mother and another gentleman who I believe may have been family, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is small, but it did not feel rushed. We had a good time talking story while the food was being prepared. It was a challenge for me to drive home with all that food in the back of my car. I was tempted to pull over and just indulge, but I remembered that I had to share it lol My summary? Good food, genuine hospitality, and a great first impression. I will definitely be back.

My mom and my friend both had amazing reviews about this restaurant. They both raved about how…read moredelicious their crab dishes were that I couldn't wait! It's located next to EARL and Cafe Kaila in the corner of Market City Shopping Center on Kapiolani Blvd in Kapahulu. There is a parking lot for customers and an overflow lot in the back where Ben Franklin is. Both times, I came with my family, and we ordered a variety of food and shared family style. The food here was absolutely delicious! Some items that we had ordered were: - Singaporean Rice Noodles - delicious! So flavorful with a lot of shrimp. It was even better with the curry from the curry crab. - Hong Kong Style Garlic Shrimp Prawns - well seasoned with a delicious crispiness and crunchiness! Shrimps are always a favorite of mine. - Thai Style Pork Cheek - great appetizer but the others really outshined this dish. The sauce was incredible, though! - Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Wing - beautifully coated with a layer of salted egg yolk. One of the few unique dishes that is a must try. - Fried Green Beans w/ Minced Meat & Sambal Shrimp Paste - the minced meat and sambal shrimp paste really brought out the flavor of the green beans, complementing it extremely well. - Salted Fish Chicken Eggplant - the salted fish really enhanced the flavor of this dish. I honestly thought without it, the entire dish would have been mediocre. This was a surprise! - Beef Chow Funn - this was ok. I thought there wasn't enough wok hay and flavor to this chow fun. - J.J. Chicken (Half) - this was one of my least favorite dishes only because all the other dishes outshined it. It was still good - just didn't have a great WOW factor like the others. - HK Style Beef Fried Rice - this was actually a lot better than the beef chow fun in my opinion. It was especially good with the leftover curry from the crab. - Curry Crab w/ Naan Bread - the star of the meals! There were different ways to prepare the crab, but we ultimately decided on the curry as it was #1 of the 3 or 4 styles. I did want the Singaporean one but was worried it would be spicy for the grandparents. Next time! Regardless, this was an amazing decision as the curry was soooo good. I couldn't get enough of it! The crab was delicious, fresh, and meaty--one order was plenty for our group of seven! It was definitely a messy meal, but well worth it. We even had so much leftover curry sauce that I couldn't bear to waste it, so I took it home to enjoy with rice the next day. - Hong Kong Style Garlic Fried Crab - well seasoned with a lot of flavor, but it was much drier than the curry version. Still delicious but that curry crab was still a winner. - HK Style Ice Milk Tea w/ Frozen Bear - this was a cute drink that they heavily advertised in their drink menu. I thought it would be a gimmick, but the drink itself was strong and delicious. This restaurant honestly stole my heart! So many delicious options that continuously wowed me. I definitely can see myself coming back often for family dinners.

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.

I was recently invited to attend a dinner for my part time job where I wasn't really keen to…read morepartake but was heavily persuaded to join them at King Restaurant & Bar (KRB) where I gave in. What a blessing that was as I was impressed with the food quality and attention to detail. There were many star dishes that impressed me and luckily had the honor to pack up the leftovers which I ended up sharing with family. They raved over the food from KRB, so I suggested we come here for dinner. To play it safe I called ahead and made a reservation for a round table as I tend to order an array of different dishes. To our surprise, KRB wasn't busy that weekday evening with both private dining rooms occupied and only one other table of 4 during our arrival. I asked the family what they wanted to eat and because they are big eaters who also enjoy leftovers, our initial food order consisted of 9 different dishes that included doubling up both noodle orders. Overall, our meal was above average with family favorites of tofu casserole that was so delicious that I ended up getting another one. The seafood crispy noodles were also phenomenal as it was executed well with great texture contrast and finesse in flavors. Personally I enjoyed the free range chicken with ginger onion sauce and the sautéed lamb with leeks. We also appreciated the complimentary dessert of chilled coconut milk tapioca. Service was above average as the staff were attentive to our needs and exchanged plates halfway during our dinner. The only setback for me was the ambiance as it was semi dark and dingy. The interior could use an upgrade. Recent returned visits to KRB is truly deserving of 5-stars from me. The food exceeded my expectations where it was worthy to drag my family here and have concluded KRB is deserving to be included in our rotation of restaurants to patronize.

We had our group luncheon there in a private room and the service is always great!…read more Sorry no pictures I cannot add anymore pictures to this page. We had the Chinese chicken salad with jellyfish, Mix seafood cake noodles, beef broccoli, crispy chicken, mixed pork with green beans, steamed fish fillets and rice The Chinese chicken salad was different with the jellyfish. It was tasty and with the jellyfish it had a nice chewy crunch. That is a first normally it has crispy wonton strips. The mixed pork with green beans is always a hit, everyone love the flavor and tasty of this fish. The beef broccoli was good with tender beef slices and fresh broccoli. The mix seafood cake noodles was also good and everyone enjoyed the noodles. The steamed fish fillet was with a shoyu and ginger sauce which was very moist and delicious. The crispy chicken this time seems like they used a malnourished chicken it hardly had meat and was mostly bones.

Came to our favorite local dim sum spot and discovered they have moved to a new location! However,…read moreit's bigger and has a little better parking situation than the old spot. Service seems to have improved from the speed of the kitchen too. Loved the new decor inside. Much brighter and more modern.

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

HK Cafe is located in the Stix Asia food hall. This is first restaurant on the right as enter the…read morefood hall. Super fast Chinese food that is always temperature hot with great flavors. They now have beer! We love this place! Always look forward to coming back on our trip to Honolulu. We ate here 4x on this trip, it would have been more if we did not have all days adventures. Highly recommend this place for authentic Chinese food and some of the best Singapore noodles! Staff: Youlen was our waiter. Very nice and attentive server. Food: Awesome Singapore noodles. Perfectly cooked, temperature hot with lots of shrimp and bbq pork and veggies. Great combination of flavors! Huge portion size, if you are not too hungry, you can split the dishes and they don't mind. But you wouldn't want to share since the food is so good! Drink: Kirin beer was cold and great with the Singapore noodles Bathroom: There is one in the back of the food hall if you need to go, make sure to get the bathroom code to open the door.

Super cute place for fast casual Canto food! We loved the black pepper shrimp egg over rice, the…read morepepper gave the best flavor and the egg and rice texture blended great. Also I've always wanted to try the HK french toast so jumped at the opportunity - loved the peanut butter that melted inside and crispy fried bread. Service was efficient, it seems like it's a small family run place and they're all working so hard back there! Located inside the Asian Stix underground food court, we walked but they also validate parking if you spend more than $20. There's tons of other food options too in the plaza so definitely recommend checking it out.
