    When you're in the mood for authentic Cantonese food, Moon Garden is a solid choice. A must-order is their Honey BBQ spareribs, and you have to call ahead to place the order. Other good bets are their thick Shanghai noodles and salt & pepper pork chops. At our last visit, we ordered: Honey BBQ spareribs - 5/5 Shanghai noodles - 5/5 salt & pepper pork chops - 5/5 crispy gau gee - 2/5, really bland unless you used the dipping sauce. eggplant w/ spicy sauce - 3/5, a little too vinegary and salty beef w/ choy sum - 3.5/5 Service is friendly, but it's just one auntie managing everything in front. So if you need refills of tea or water, you'll need to speak up and flag her down. Ample parking in their lot. The one downside is the space is pretty tight and can seem crowded. But we're there for the food, not the ambiance. =)

    We were in town visiting a relative in Queens Hospital Punchbowl. Traffic was heavy going home, so we opted to Eat Out at our favorite Chinese restaurant Moon Garden. We ordered the Beef Chowfun (Dry), Honey Walnut Shrimp , Spicy Eggplant, and Peking Duck . Everything was prepared Hot and Fresh. The Peking Duck skin was crispy and the meat moist (they covered the meat with the Au Jus, wonderful). The Spicy Eggplant had a sauce that they should bottle. It was that Good! Service was excellent. Definitely recommended

    A Tuesday night at Moon Garden.  All tables filled, even serving dinner outside. Amazing but not unexpected.

    2024 update Pandemic Survivor- happily not a ghost of the past. So many restaurants and eateries disappeared during the pandemic times. Some decided the pandemic accelerated what they had planned to do (Likelike Drive In), some couldn't survive the fall out from worker shortages and decided to cut their losses (Kaimuki Big City Diner). Everyone gas a story of a favorite food establishment that is now gone. Luckily for all of us, Moon Garden is a survivor. They have been serving up delicious Chinese kau kau for many a year and the consistency has been quite high. A favorite "go to" restaurant not quite in the neighborhood, the in dining options can be challenging as they have a couple of round tables and some smaller seating options in a pretty small area. We have dined in when we have time flexibility and do take out fairly regularly. Recently we ordered their house chicken with ginger sauce (warm dish), which uses free range chickens ( hope this doesn't mean the strays running all around oahu now LOL) Surprisingly this was the first time we tried their crispy gau gee with crispy noodles and gravy. The skinny noodles they used were perfect and the simplicity of the dish made the dish delicious with no masking of imperfections. Not greasy at all. The third dish we had was pork with sweet sour cabbage (Suan cai), a fermented napa cabbage. Their dish had just the right amount of balance between the sweet and sour although next time We would probably order with beef, more of a preference. My mom's favorite Chinese restaurant- never challenge mom.

    The mochi ball is a high light. I have never seen this shape and color before.

    The good and the service both outstanding. Due to limited seating. You need to rsvp in advance. For short ribs, it needs 24 hour's advance order.

    It's been ages since I last dined at Moon Garden Restaurant in Liliha, and what really motivated me to come back here for a meal was a picture that my Yelp buddy - Tami C. had posted on Yelp. It was a picture of a Minute Chicken Cake Noodles with Choy Sum. Yes gangies, if you ever dined at Moon Garden Restaurant, they are known for their Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs (you must order it one day in advance)!!! How good are those Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs? Bruh, those ribs are broke da moufth ono!!! I'm gonna go out on a limb & say it's da BESTEST Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs that I've ever eaten!!! Unfortunately, Bruddah Fran no longer eats red meat or pork (old people problems, Lol!), so those deeeeeeeeeelicious Honey BBQ Char Siu Ribs will have to go on da back burner. No worries, cuz da Moon Garden Restaurant makes other excellent dishes like - a Minute Chicken Cake Noodle dish! Came here with my friend Jennifer C., as she's a big noodle fan. I ordered my Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, & my friend ordered the Rice Noodles w/Preserved Vegetables & Meat. What can I say about the grub??? The Minute Chicken Cake Noodles was enjoyable, & very tasty! I was surprised that they used Chinese Cabbage with my dish, as I was expecting Choy Sum, but I guess they used whatever vegetable that was available that day. My friend Jennifer enjoyed her meal, and no complains from us, that's for sure! Service here was on point. If you decide to dine at Moon Garden Restaurant, the restaurant is on the smaller side, so I'm not sure if you should make reservations before coming here. There is free parking available just to the right of the building, as the parking lot is shared by other businesses.

    Minute chicken with crispy noodles

    We're very grateful to arrive here for take out lunch during inclement weather. Staff are very welcoming. Vibe reminds me of the gathering place to enjoy Cantonese cuisine. We ran into a familiar face, a businessman that decided to treat a few construction workers during lunch and he only had wonderful compliments to share about this restaurant. Our entrees remained intact and hot for half an hour drive home. We're over the moon for Beef Broccoli on Fried Rice and Minute Chicken with Crispy Noodle. My better half knows I'm very picky when consuming beef broccoli and fried rice. Thinly sliced marinated beef tasted tender and succulent. Broccoli cooked to perfection. Both ingredients combined with light sauce. This entree hit the spot in one bite. Moving forward, I won't hesitate to order and highly recommend beef broccoli from this restaurant. With just a few key ingredients, fried rice was quite tasty. Minute chicken pieces were very moist and tender. No bones. Minced, fresh garlic accompanied by light tasting sauce complemented minute chicken, tasty bok choy, and delicious, thin crispy noodles. Free parking behind inside the lot. We will consider dine in for a future visit.

    Love this place. Fried tofu---yum. Light and crispy with a shrimp surprise in the middle. Beef scallion was gingery and tender. Minute chicken cake noodles were on point. You know you're in a legit Chinese restaurant when the majority of the patrons are speaking Chinese. Parking in the back. I have yet to try the ribs!

    This will still be my favorite Chinese place. Although business looks slower for them, which I think COVID has affected all Business. It's the closet reminder of my parents homemade Chinese food. My parents are currently in Vegas so I came here... Some old photo drop and new photos. We had the salted fish fried rice, Chinese broccoli (gai Lan) and drunken clams. I don't remember drunken clams being cold but it was still yummy.

    Moon Garden is always a family favorite of ours! If you are looking for a true and authentic Chinese banquet style experience, then this is it the place. Customer service is true to Chinese style, grumpy, no acknowledgement, non verbal. Just be patient and be mindful that English is their second language. Lots of delicious, Chinese comfort food. Tasty and authentic.

    Kent C.

    Good food: lots of Chinese comfort food favorites. Good service - have to be mindful English isn't their first language Great for take out. The interior isn't very big, kind of old, and parking lot is small.

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.

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.

Their soup was okay, but the braised and marinated meat was definitely the highlight of this dish.

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

    First morning on Oahu and we wanted dim sum. While we had plenty of people telling us that dim sum…read moreon Oahu wasn't ideal, I was quite impressed. We had originally had a different place in mind but our good friend recommended this place instead. Apparently this is the perfect spot for all your Chinese eats. With plenty of space and large tables for banquet style meals, I can see why people come here. And the dim sum selection is generous. We had so many great bites that I can't even tell you which one was my favorite. All I know is that I'm glad this place is inside such a large shopping center because we definitely needed to burn off some calories afterwards.

    Dim sum was served until 4:30 at this restaurant located on the 4th floor of the Ala Moana shopping…read morecenter. We were seated promptly when we arrived late afternoon and were reminded a few times to get our order in before 4:30 if we wanted dim sum. We ordered a number of items which came in quantities of 3 pieces in most cases. So we had to double up on orders since there were 4 of us. We also ordered beef chow fun with black bean sauce. Food was ok and service was courteous. The restaurant could use some maintenance and bathroom needs to be cleaned.

    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.

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.
