Honey Walnut Shrimp, *(Roast) Peking Duck w/Buns, Oyster Sauce Choi Sum, Minute Chicken Cake Noodle, Pepper Pork Chop
Kylee T.

This restaurant is one of the OGs. My dad used to bring us here when we were kids and it's still going today for a reason. You can't go wrong with almost anything you order here. We got the Chinese food craving and got a bunch of food the only issue I have is that their Peking duck was roast duck with buns. When I called to ask if I had to order the Peking duck a day ahead (like any other Chinese restaurant) they said no, it would be ready in 30 minutes. It was still good though and the amount you would usually pay for roast duck. The lady at the counter was so nice to me, I don't understand the reviews about rudeness because I've always been nice to the workers, and they've always returned the warm welcome. Although it's a little less bustling than it used to be, I love this staple Mililani restaurant and will continue to get food here.

Shrimp Canton
Jessica P.

Me and my mom LOVE this place. We come here often. Only reason for the 4 stars is we rarely seen our server, waited very long for our food, and it definitely wasnt as busy as usual. I don't know if one of the girls was new though she looked nervous, and wiped our large serving spoon with a dirty rag before giving it to us but we didnt use it anyway, we didnt need it. The cashier brought our check and apologized though. We seriously love the food and will continue coming back. We both ordered the lunch plate with fried rice and shrimp Canton. Both dishes were fabulous as always.

Maile Chinese Restaurant at the Mililani Shopping Center.

I've seen my Yelp buddy - Gail U. check into this Chinese restaurant many times, and often wondered how the food was??? It seems that every time I come out to the Mililani Shopping Center, I some how always detour my plans for Maile Chinese Restaurant, to Mililani Restaurant for my all time favorite Shoyu Chicken plate! Lol! This time, when I went out to the Mililani Shopping Center I actually stuck with my plans, as I was taking my dad & his friends for a meal at Maile Chinese Restaurant. The Chinese Restaurant has a nice old skool feel, as the décor kinda reminds me of other mom & pop chop suey houses. The restaurant was spacious enough to seat a lot of folks, but it appears that Maile Chinese Restaurant is extremely popular with the "take-out" crowd. Upon getting seated and looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Canton Shrimp 2. Crispy Chicken with Ginger & Onion Sauce 3. String Bean with Spicy Minced Pork 4. Seafood & Vegetables on a sizzling platter 5. Steamed Rice 6. Chicken & Vegetable Soup What can I say about the grub??? Da grub was pretty good, especially the Canton Shrimp cuz I like frrrrrrried stuff! Lol! But all kiddin' aside, all the dishes were pretty tasty, and I can see why Maile Chinese restaurant has a very strong following. Service here was on point, as our waitress was very attentive & friendly. If I'm in the Mililani area, and just so happen to be Jonesing for Chinese food, may I suggest you check out Maile Chinese Restaurant at the Mililani Shopping Center!

Walnut Shrimp
karmeg c.

Tried the minute chicken cake noodle, the house special cake noodle, walnut shrimp, and the pan-fried pork--all were super tasty! The flavors were spot on, and everything came out hot and fresh. Service was friendly, and I really enjoyed the hot tea they served alongside the meal. I honestly didn't realize we had such a great authentic Chinese restaurant right here in Mililani. What a nice surprise! Definitely planning to come back and try more dishes. Photos are after we dug in. LOL

YUCK!!!! JAI "NEW YEARS DISH!!!!
Kristina P.

So they don't speak English very well when you call in and put in your order who knows what you're gonna end up with I order from them all the time, but this last time was like what the fuck! Seriously I ordered the Chinese dish that I always order for the new year. It's called Jay. It's like a soupy vegetable thing. I ordered two orders of honey walnut shrimp. And shrimp egg foo yung! I'm tripping. I totally got ripped off. It was $75. I think they doubled the shrimp double the egg for young I don't know but it sucks. I hate eating out. I'm just letting you guys know. I mean the food is good. I wanted to feed my family, but eating out sometimes is scary . No way I just ordered minimum and that it was $75. I paid. It came home to my family tripped out on it. They don't give you a receipt. I think it's better if you go inside and order and look at the menu and figure it out but don't call over the phone. They are tasty. They're good but just a heads up don't order over the phone go in there. look at the menu look at the price. This is January 2, 2026 but $75 for egg foo yung want shrimp and a container of jai!(! WTH I order from them all the time, but they're getting more expensive. I am totally tripping out on what I ordered and the price I love them. They're tasty but they don't give you a receipt so you guys gotta double check your order

Honey walnut shrimp
Chelsea P.

Good food and quick service. Cake noodle, eggplant, beef, and shrimp was enough for 4 people. The cake noodle wasn't overly soggy from the sauce. The honey walnuts shrimp came out perfect and the walnuts were warm and crunchy, much better than when we take-away. Recommend for big group.

Cake noodle
Krista U.

One of my favorite dishes to get whenever I return home is cake noodle with chicken since they don't have it on the mainland. When I dined in with my family, it was rather empty so service was smooth. There usually is adequate parking in the shopping plaza. Great place to get my cake noodle fix!

Our go-to Chinese restaurant in Mililani. Friendly servers, the ambiance is mellow (can get very busy), and great tasting food. Today was beef broccoli, beef chow fun with black bean gravy, roast pork and rice. Yummy for the tummy

Oyster sauce Chicken WITH NO CAKE NOODLES

House special chow mein
Marisa G.

Their dine has been back open for a while now, but sad to still see it pretty empty every time I walk in. It seems like most people do take out. I usually don't ever call in my order, I always walk in and order for take out. My usually go to order is the Singapore chow mei funn (curry rice noodles). Totally forgot to take a photo of my food - sad! :( but it's one of my favorite Chinese dishes! :) The ladies who work in the front are soft spoken, but they are very nice and friendly.

Good, deep flavor with a touch of garlic taste. Portion was fair. I also got to try the crispy gau gee, which I don't usually eat. The one from this restaurant impressed me though. Not the size, but it wasn't oily and the crunch was light and crispy. I'd definitely order the crispy gau gee again. Everyone liked it too.

Sometimes there's no taste, sometimes it's a surprise dish, receiving a different dish from what you ordered. Yes, the cashier points at different boxes and reads off the receipt, but they have no clue what is inside. Speaking of the cashier, there is a young Chinese girl with tattoos on her arm, who must think she's doing me a favor ordering food from there. She never smiles and is definitely not a people-person. And heaven forbid that you ask for chopsticks and an extra watered-down hot mustard. I spend at least $120 per order and the look she gives you, I feel like slapping it to knock some sense into her! Their business depends on us customers!

I had gotten the Chicken Katsu Curry Ramen, Husband had the Oxtail Ramen, and we shared the side order Mochiko Chicken. I thought the Mochiko Chicken was cooked to perfection and wasn't overly sweet. The Katsu Curry hit the spot! I did remove it so it wouldn't become too soggy as I knew it would be too much to finish and wanted to take it home. Husband said the Oxtail itself was bland BUT they gave a lot so it wasn't a complaint but he would probably try something else the next time. Service was friendly and fast. We noticed a lot of take out orders but I feel like since we ordered a lot of deep-fried foods it would be better enjoyed there along with the various condiments they provide at the table. There is a provided restroom and the parking lot is shared with a few other Businesses so it may get congested depending the time you come. It is pretty big inside and the tables are moveable to accommodate larger parties.

I was surprised that I came here at 1:30pm and no line outside. Service is fast. I ordered a Roast Pork with Cake Noodle Plate which came out to $19.37. The plate was ready in a few minutes. I decided to sit on 1 of the gray tables outside. It looks the same and it tastes good like in the past. The Roast Pork was big pieces, soft and juicy too!

Their lunch plate is $17.50 without upgrades and comes with your choice of meat, two scoops rice, cabbage, and a gaugee. You can upgrade for $1 to fried rice or cake noodle or combo meat. The lunch plate is more expensive than the one at Mei Mei but it's twice the size and can feed two not starving people. I came around after 1230p and they had already run out of fried rice which was sad, I think the guy in front of me may have gotten the last order! So definitely go on the earlier side of lunch if you want to make sure they have everything you want. This is located on the second floor of the shopping center above Times (same level as McDonald's), just at the top of the escalators. Take out only. Place your order with the nice lady at the front, then wait until she calls your order out to pick up and pay. At peak lunch hour this can take 5 to 7 minutes. Credit card surcharge. There are a few shady tables on the second floor patio you can sit at to eat.
