Crispy won ton

Sometimes you just want noodles and crispy wun tun for dinner. Ask for Ken Fong Sam See Mein on crispy noodles... As always, delicious and crispy! Quick service., clean restaurant.

Ginger scallion chicken
Carmen S.

My family & I stumbled upon this little gem! We'd been in Hawaii for a few days and our parents were craving for some comforting Chinese food so decided to stop by for dinner. We're so happy that we decided to give On On a try because it is now a spot that we will return to the next time we're in Hawaii and craving for some authentic Chinese food. All of the dishes we ordered were flavorful & hit the spot. Ingredients were fresh & the owner helped is pick a veggie dish especially since she mentioned they didn't have certain vegetables due low inventory as a result of the floods. I especially liked the salt & pepper chicken wings! Sooooo crispy! The food wasn't overly salty and didn't have too much MSG as we didn't wake up dying of thirst the next day. We spoke with the owners after our meal and found out that they've been open for over 20 years!

Seaweed soup was good, but too bland.

I would like to give On On a good review because I know 2 people that said we needed to try On On! I remember this building complex from the 1980s but never had a reason to come back to it until now. Well the parking lot to this complex needs to be repaved!! You need a truck because the ground is unbelievably bumpy!! Not On On's fault, but just a heads up. Anyway, the food was fresh and the prices were reasonable. Service was quick and pleasant. Unfortunately the food was too bland for my taste. I don't eat too much salt, and most of the time food is too salty for me, but their food was too bland for me. The Ong Choi was mostly leaves and not too much stems, so not much taste. We ordered cold ginger chicken and I'm sorry, but it had to be thee worst cold ginger chicken I've had! The meat was hard dry and I didn't care for the ginger green onion sauce because it had too much five spice. Also not sure if it was half a chicken or chicken leg quarter. I think it was the thigh and drumstick. I had 2 people rant and rave about the cake noodle, but I wasn't impressed. It was also bland. Don't get me wrong, it's my preference, and the restaurant is clean, service was good, food was fresh, but I thought the food was too bland.

Combo A
Maile K.

Rediscovered On On Chinese Restaurant after 8 years. On On was one of my dad's favorite restaurants. Haven't been back since he passed. Located on Kapahulu at Charles St.. Private parking lot with two designated stalls for the restaurant. The mauka (North) bound traffic on Kapahulu Ave. can be quite busy, but there is a traffic signal at the entrance to Safeway plaza, just a half a block makai (South). This allows for patrons to safely turn into the On On parking lot. Mind you, there is an entrance on Charles St., however, it is not open all the time. Best to stick to the one on Kapahulu. If you prefer, head makai (South) on 6th Ave. Turn on Olu St. and make a right on Kapahulu. The parking lot entrance is just a few feet away. The Gov't shutdown has a lot of people tightening up the purse strings and it was 11am, so it's not surprising to see the restaurant empty of diners. There were takeout orders waiting to be picked up though. That's a good sign. The dining room is spotless. Everything is so clean and tidy. Very inviting. Onto the food. I ordered the combo A, (I posted a pic of it.) from a few weeks ago. The lemon chicken was crispy and the lemon sauce was nice and tangy. The beef in the beef broccoli was super tender and the broccoli was cooked but still had a little snap to the stem. Wonderful. The shrimp canton, ok, now we all know that deep fried items tend to get soft as they sit, especially in a sauce, but this one remained crunchy throughout the meal, which got started about 45 minutes after picking it up. So good! The fried rice was fabulously tasty. I like my fried rice a little crispy burnt and the kitchen staff did a great job. No, I didn't special request it that way. Second time back, I had to get the fried rice as it was so memorable I needed to have it again....soon! It was sublime!I also ordered the mabo tofu for mom. Of course I need to taste it. I ordered it medium spicy, but it really wasn't. All good though. It was very nice. MK has stiff competition now for mom's Sunday lunches. I am going back again this Sunday. What to order next?!? Look for more photos to see what I ordered!

Since we were in the area picked up A couple of plate lunches. Combo B for me and combo A for my wife. Easily picked up our take out order. My wife and I thought that the lunches were good but nothing in our lunches stood out Enjoy

Crispy Gau Gee Mein Cake Noodle & Combo Plate
K S.

I love cake noodles and have tried MANY . On On remains the BEST CAKE NOODLE for texture, depth and taste. In fact, all crispy fried menu items that we tried were On Point : Gau Gee, Lemon Chicken, Shrimp Canton. My brother was happy with the Combo plate & I ordered Crispy Gau Gee Mein with cake noodles. (The proprietors are happy to cook what you want even if it's not on the menu. My favorite is Roast Duck Cake Noodle with Choi Sum)

Update on On On Chinese restaurant haven't been here for a while. I ordered their combo plate A . Comes with Fried rice , Shrimp canton, lemon chicken and beef broccoli. Price not too bad but the serving is not much I was still hungry lol .support local

Fish filet with ginger and scallion sauce
Melissa W.

Cute little spot next to Ululani's shave ice. Small, free parking lot. Friendly service and good Cantonese (?) food menu. We tried the oxtail soup, chicken with salty fish fried rice, and fish filet with ginger/scallion sauce. The fish was delicious but portion a little on the small side. Fried rice was good but needed more salty fish. Oxtail soup very flavorful and delicious. Also ordered a side of broccoli with garlic sauce that was tasty. Only giving 4 stars bc some prices seemed high for smaller portions. Would go back and try other dishes.

My plate combo A

8-16-25. Haven't been here in awhile and since we were in kapahulu safeway area my husband said we go and pick up lunch at on on Chinese. Called it in a withing a few minutes was ready. Came home and looked at the plate it was plentiful for me and my husband. The fried rice to me was good the lemon chicken was thin and was missing something maybe the lemon sauce drizzle. The shrimp canton was good liked the flavor and as well as the beef broccoli. My husband said it was okay for him.

Beef Stew
CJ M.

Located in a strip mall right off of Kapahulu with lots of free parking. Food is ALWAYS on on point delicious. Been coming here for over 20 years. Can't believe it took me this long to write a review. Although a smaller sized restaurant, don't let that fool you. It's clean and service is excellent. Some of our favorites include: Walnut Shrimp, Salt Pepper Pork, Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and Duck. During our dinner here tonight, their take out orders kept coming in non stop and the restaurant was packed! That should say something. Pro Tip: If there's a football/basketball game playing, it will probably be on the big screen tv.

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.

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

My friend has been raving about this noodle spot and even though she had it for lunch, when I asked…read moreher if she wanted to go here for dinner she was still in! It's street parking only on King Street but if you're lucky like us you can snag a metered parking spot right outside. It's a QR code menu and you order from your phone. I love a physical menu just as much as the next person, but with all the customizations you can make to the dishes- being able to select them on your phone just makes it so much easier. I went with the classic beef noodle soup, with a thick noodle. There was multiple different noodles to choose from but I think that this was the most classic for a beef noodle soup. The broth was really rich and clean (not spicy) and I loved the texture of the noodles. My friend ordered the dry mix noodle with pork and chickpeas in mixed sauce. She got it a regular spicy and it was just above my threshold for spice but so good. The texture of the chickpeas when it was mixed in made it creamy and so unique. Next time I'm going to try the dry noodle with mashed potatoes and beef.

We've ordered takeout for dinner from here a couple of times! There's usually street parking…read moreavailable along the street near their entrance, so it's not bad in terms of convenience and accessibility. They also seem to have renovated, with a much more spacious and modern interior. We've tried the Boiled Fish and Pickled Cabbage with rice, Wuwei Spicy Beef Noodle, and Fried Noodle (rice noodle). You get to choose what type of noodles you want. The first time, I ordered the Boiled Fish and asked for mild spice, but it was so spicy I could barely finish it and ended up just eating the fish and leaving the rest. Such a shame because I was craving those sour and spicy flavors and wanted to pair the soup with rice, but I definitely wasn't expecting the mild level to be THAT spicy. My bf, on the other hand, can handle really spicy food and ordered the spicy level for his beef noodles, but his wasn't that spicy at all. We wondered if the spice levels got mixed up, but I've seen other reviews mentioning that even the mild level for the Boiled Fish is really spicy, so maybe that's just how it is... The boiled fish soup was also oilier than what I've had elsewhere. For the Wuwei Spicy Beef Noodle, since we ordered takeout, the beef came separately with its own marinade. I wouldn't recommend pouring the marinade into the noodle soup because it completely overpowers the original spicy broth. The beef itself was perfectly tender, though! The Fried Rice Noodle was really good, and we had no complaints! It also came in a HUGE portion that was plenty for the two of us. Both times, I was craving Szechuan flavors and rice noodle dishes, and these definitely hit the spot! I wouldn't say I'm in love with everything we tried, but overall, the food was really good and worth satisfying those cravings.

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.

This is the first restaurant that my mom has been to before me, lol. She loves going to Chinatown;…read moreme not so much. Trying to find parking is such a pain. I had lunch here with my mom and husband on a Saturday around 1:30pm. The restaurant was packed with a waitlist. We put our names on the list and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. My husband got the beef chow fun $14.50. My mom and I both got the wonton mein $12.99 each. We shared the cheung fun $8.50 and I got the soy milk $5 made in house. I wanted to get the half roast duck $28, but it was sold out. The cheung fun was good. It came with sesame seeds on top. They brought over the peanut sauce. When I asked for the sweet sauce they pointed to the hoisin sauce on the table. It's not the same, but it'll do. If anyone knows a place that serves real sweet sauce with cheung fun, please let me know. I tried my hubby's beef chow fun and it was excellent. It had good wok hei and the beef was tender. The wontons were meh. I haven't had wontons that bad in a while. They were mushy and contained a small piece of shrimp. My mom agreed that the wontons weren't good that day. However, she had wontons there before and they were good. I loved the skinny Hong Kong noodles that came with the wontons. If you're Chinese like me, then you'd know to eat it with the red vinegar. Also, try the house-made soy milk if you get the chance. It was yummy. My mom used to make it, but it takes a lot of work.

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
