We tried the Wonton Mein and the Chinese Mixed Plate. The mixed plate had good flavor though we weren't sure if the meat was supposed to be served cold, it still tasted good! The Wonton Mein was okay nothing too special, but it did the job. Service was good friendly and efficient and portions were decent. Overall, a solid spot for local-style Chinese food. I'd come back if I was in the area and craving something quick and filling. read more

I've been wanting to try this Chinese place for several years finally got a chance to eat here. Got here at 7:15 pm on a Friday night. It was a First Friday night and the streets were packed. The food on the hot table was almost sold out. We got a two item of fried rice (noodles sold out) and Kau Yuk and Sesame Chicken. Ordered off the menu - house special cake noodles & the Cold Ginger Chicken $ Roasted Duck plate. ... don't know if I will be back. read more

Food is pretty consistent. I usually get a 1 choice plate. Noodles n eggplant. Mikes has a flat egg noodle that is better tasting compared to other places chow mein. But today, I ordered a Hamburger combo. Fries included. Honestly, not bad for $13. Hamburger deluxe with a bunch of crispy fries. read more

Do not eat the hot sour soup unless u want your blood pressure to sky and have a sodium attach; no bamboo shoots. . .I gave them 2 tries and never again. . .they add sweet chili sauce. Teriyaki steak is teriyaki beef. . .big difference. 2 tries after a long time; VERY sadly, will never go there again, not even for the oxtail soup. How do you mess up hot sour soup ? A whole lot of short cuts. Back to my HBP migraines and gagging for tnhe next hour. Shouldve known better. . .My bad. read more

Mikes Restaurant - Entrance - Noodles Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

Nice family restaurant. Mom loves the roast duck. The lo mein noodles and char siu are good too.

We were spending the evening at the historic Iao Theater in Wailuku and decided to pick up dinner at Mike's Hong Kong Bistro (aka Mike's Restaurant, for some reason). Unfortunately, their large dining room is closed due to... covid. Well, I wish that was one word we could all forget. Anyway, the take-out option worked for us because our plan was to eat at the picnic tables under the Banyon Tree at Market & Vinyard. We ordered the Chow Mein with 2 entrees, Sesame Chicken and Chicken with Black Bean Sauce. Not very creative, considering the many menu choices, but they were available cafeteria style and we were in a bit of a hurry. No packets, but I could pour some soy sauce into a thimble size cup to add my daily requirement of sodium. Armed with chopsticks and several napkins, we were all set to enjoy our grinds at Banyon Tree Park. The Chow Mein noodles were flatter and wider than we expected, and the flavor was really good. They were close to the noodles in Chow Fun. The Sesame Chicken was sweet and tender. The breading on the white meat was perfect. The Chicken with Black Bean Sauce was heavy with Zucchini Squash, but that's alright because we could see it in the serving tray (WYSIWYG). The chicken pieces were dark meat and the dish was cooked perfectly with a savory black bean sauce that left us wanting more. Even though we shared the dinner, we had a lot left over for another meal. I would call that a great deal. read more

I order delivery from Mike's and it used to be so ono. The sweet sour spareribs used to be so savory. Now their jacked up with salt and chilies. Whaaa?!? Crispy gau gee min is still tasty thank goodness! I tried over 2 meals and cannot stomach the spareribs. Enough salt to puff lips and tongue. Yikes! Aunty C. read more

Mike's takeout restaurant is consistent it has Cantonese style Chinese food and Light sauces this is from a former review I wrote about the food. The owner has changed in the last year, and the food has changed a bit. He has egg fo yong duck. He has less items with vegetables. The original owner actually had more vegetable based food. They have shrimp. I still enjoy it. I think it is a decent place for takeout lunch prices have raised recently but that's to be expected. The dining area is not used at time anymore in probably could be renovated but I don't think you go there for the interior dining area read more

Best chinese food on Maui It was really hard to find a good chinese spot here but Mikes was a surprise. The Kau Yuk is perfect and meaty not too fatty. Their half duck is also yummy! With some fried rice and noodles of course. The service is always good, I call ahead and it's usually always ready in time when I pick up. The ambiance is the typical take out restaurant but clean and comfortable with A/C. read more

Was walking around Wailuku and saw Mike's Hong Kong Bistro-theres no inside seating(because of covid) so everything is take out. It seems to be a popular place. The clerk was very helpful and explained what a couple items were I wasn't familiar with. They had pans of maybe 10 different items-priced for 1/2/3 entrées with chow mein or fried rice or you could order Ramen bowls. Since we were going to take it with us walking back to the tables at the banyan tree o Market Street we decided soup wasnt the best choice. We got the chow mein with sesame chicken and chicken with zucchini and black bean sauce. All 3 items were delicous! The chow mein was some of the best I've had in a long time. Both entrées chicken was cooked perfectly and chicken was very tender. He included forks and napkins we asked for chop sticks which he gladly got us. I know we will head back here again soon. read more

Very disappointed with this place. They had wall mounted "supposed to be awards" but food quality is not there. Claimed having the best Ox Tail soup... do not bother and just go to Tantte's or Zippy's for this. Or go to any local hole in the wall joints for authentic Hawaiian taste. Staff is not that friendly. Service with a poker face. I tried it once and that's about it. Never again. read more

This place used to be a go-to spot a lot back in the day. Lately it's one of the last resort stops or a nice to stop in when we haven't been for awhile. The food isn't horrible, depending what time of day you go the food may seem like it's been sitting a bit. My only downer would be the customer service isn't so great. There used to be the younger guy working the counter who was really friendly but now it seems to only be the husband and wife, don't expect any smiles. But the food is decent and the prices are pretty reasonable. I don't recommend this place as somewhere you have to stop in and try but they do offer some local Chinese faves that can get the job done. I feel like they're used a lot for catering and definitely better than Wei Wei. read more

Mouth agape is how I looked as I left Mike's empty handed. I couldn't believe how I was treated!? My Saturday's work lunch is always out on the town as I have 1.5 hours to spare. On this particular day I thought of returning to Mike's for some noodles, specifically the gomoku ramen. As I entered the empty eatery, no one was behind the counter but my presence did trigger a door chime. I looked around for a soul for about two minutes. Finally, the owner Mike came from the other end of the restaurant. No smile, no eye contact, only a look of inconvenience with a "Can I help you"? As he made his way behind the food counter, I asked what kind of broth is in the gomoku ramen. He walks back the other way looking for something. With his back now to me, he annoyingly says "What"?! I ask again what kind of broth is in the gomoku ramen. He pointed to the picture menu of the shoyu ramen and mumbled something along the lines of "You should know" or "You ate this before". Not knowing what he said, I asked if the broth is clear. Irritatingly, he mumbles something but I did make out "pork bones" in the sentence. Before I could make a decision, he mumbles something again with an "I cannot help you anymore" at the end of the rant and simply walked back into the kitchen without a care in the world, leaving me alone at the counter. Stunned, I left and got lunch from another business down the street. Good luck to you, sir. Your restaurant is constantly empty, you have a 2.5 star-average Yelp rating (before I post this shiny, single-star feedback) and 10 measly business pictures that are years old sans for two of them. Your message was well received. I have removed the menu and food pictures that I posted since you could care less about your customers, let alone your business. I'm not looking for an ass kissing, just some common courtesy. Maui is growing. New restaurants are popping up and/or being revived around town. I'd shape up if I were you. Welcome to my coveted yet hard-to-get-on "Finger of Shame" list, sir. read more

Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere. Like anywhere else. You'd think that restaurants would attempt to give good service, food and drinks during a pandemic. Mikes don't give AF. Bad service. Dirty establishment and shit for food. Into the trash it goes. What a waste of time and money. read more

The oxtail soup is the BOMB!!! Everytime I crave oxtail I always go to mikes. The man that works in the front is very nice also.

Mike's is a great alternative to Panda Express. Panda used to be good fare priced Chinese food. Now it's not and Mike's orange chicken is better. On a special day I'll treat myself to their Oxtail soup which is good. I give it a 4 star rating because I enjoy eating there and the price is fare. I've seen negative reviews of the owners and I disagree they are good people and are just misunderstood because of the cultural difference. read more

Really, really disappointed this evening with the food from the new owners of "Mike's", since they took over in 2022. The roast duck tasted "old", not fresh. The beef broccoli was steamed broccoli topped with beef and ?store bought sauce. It was not stir fried/blended together. The house cake noodles were not good although we couldn't put our finger on exactly what was lacking. We wish the original Mike and his sweet wife were still there.... read more

We wanted a PINT of each of these food items. Yeah, this is not close to being a pint at all. Rip off. 5 pieces of caYuk. 6 pieces of spare ribs. There is a new owner now. So be careful when you're ordering a pint or any size. Super disappointed about this "pint" size amount. read more

Mike's food is ok. But some ADVICE that would ATTRACT MORE CUSTOMERS, is make the serving size bigger. Lot of my friends complain the portions of food given is too small and they always leave there still hungry. I also agree. A generous size portion like how L&L at the Maui Marketplace started doing, will definitely bring in alot of the blue collar working group that have big appetites from the physical work all day, like me. Mike, start giving generous sized portions and you will see, you will have more return customers as well as new ones. It will be advertised via mouth and social media like Yelp.. L&L/Chopsticks Express is now a VERY popular place to go due to the large portions they serve. read more

Oh how I wanted to like this place better than I did. But alas my search for better than just OK Chinese food on Maui continues. I had a combo plate so I could try a few things at once. Chicken and black bean sauce, sesame chicken and a veggie tofu dish with chow mein. All were just ok and about as decent as Panda Express with the exception of the chow mein which was A-OK (which is why the 3 stars instead of 2). A friend swears by their egg foo yung so I'd be game to go back and try that but wouldn't go out of my way. Please someone tell me that there is GOOD Chinese food on Maui. Or open a restaurant to provide it. KThanksBye ;). read more

Wide array of local Chinese,Japanese, cuisine. Oxtail Soup is legit, expensive at $14.95 but close to zippy's! Mixed plate is average price compared to main stream pandas but good value on all local entrees: chicken katsu and roast pork. Be prepared for poor service as all workers or family glare at you as if your aliens! LoL no joke! Tip of the day act like a New Yorker and bark for what you need whether it be condiments or extras! They will help you but you need to be assertive! :) Overall it beats mintz stop quality next door! If you looking for service and quality this is not for you! Go Lahaina or Kihei! read more

Affordable food. Edible but not great. It may be unfair to use San Francisco Bay Area standard to judge a local Hawaiian Chinese restaurant. But their lunch is really nothing to write about. Perhaps they have better menu for dinner, but we've been there only once, so I don't know. I don't remember seeing other Chinese restaurants on the island, so if you are craving for Chinese food while visiting Maui, I guess this is it. I ordered a BBQ short rib which was quite good. One of my kids ordered a wonton noodle soup. She whispered to my ear, "Can I not eat the wonton?" "Why?" "I just don't like it." We taught our kids since young age not to waste food. So whenever they seek approval from us to skip a meal, it is a sign for 1 star. I added back another star because I liked their short ribs. Also the clanking noise of the spatula hitting the wok sounded quite authentic to me, and the smell coming out of the kitchen was pretty good too. read more

The quality of the steam table food was to be expected. If it's been sitting out for a while, it gets dry. The dishes with sauce and freshly made items are best. The sweet and sour ribs tasted exactly like my mom's recipe! That sweet plum flavor was very nostalgic for me. Everything we had was seasoned well and not too salty. There are some things that are made to order, can't wait to try more. read more

Went to Mikes for take out tonight which proved to be a disappointment. My 2 item order consist of Kau Yuk and Crispy Roast Pork. I asked if they had more Crispy Roast Pork that weren't out on display yet judging from the small size it would be for an order, but the was none. I preceded to watch her prepare my order and was shocked to see that she left back 2 little pieces of Crispy Roast Pork. Why didn't she just add it to my plate I was confused. What is she going to do with just 2 small pieces now? Other places I have gone to would have just added it. It would seem to be the normal thing to do. This lady was cold just like the food she served. No wonder the place was empty. Do yourself a favor, turn around its a trap! read more

Affordable prices for combo meals and you've got several delicious options to mix and match. Their lomein and ribs are the best. I always preferred to order inside (no drive-thru), but leave & go picnic elsewhere, mostly because it's Maui & it's divine being outside, but the decor within Mike's is modest with an attempt at typical Chinese decor. People don't really go there to admire the walls though--just enjoy the grub & at good prices. A bit greasy, but I haven't tasted comparably yummy lomein or chowmein anywhere else! read more
