    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!

    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)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Today I have tried the bittermelon plate and it was great. A healthy food at a chinese restaurant. The workers had a strong accent as the english was a second language. Nevertheless, once I got to talking with them a little I have found the workers to be very helpful and friendly.

    Beef broccoli

    $85 for five dishes - September 30, 2025 1. Pork fried rice 2. Minute chicken cake noodles 3. Beef broccoli 4. Chicken chow fun with black bean sauce 5. Honey walnut shrimp A bit pricey and beef broccoli and shrimp dishes were small Take out ready in 10 minutes Empty on a Tuesday at 5:30 pm Small restaurant AC was working well could feel the coolness when you walk in Clean restaurant

I ordered 5 items off their menu and they arranged for pick up time to be 30 minutes. Talk about fast! I got two beef brisket wonton noodle soups, a choi sum tofu noodle soup, their choi sum with oyster sauce, and the green beans with tofu. I also listed these in order of best to worst tasting, with the beans/tofu still being a satisfactory 8/10 (could be better with more sauce and if the garlic were more toasted.) The beef in the brisket soup was a bit lean (great if you're not looking for the fatty meat cuts), but I am one who loves pork belly, so just a tan bit lean. Overall, food was great and still hot by the time I got home with the take out order. Will definitely be back! FYI: there are limited parking stalls on the King street side, but if swing around back; there's a much bigger lot.

    All I can say about eating at the - "Fun Station" is that it's more fun when eating with a friend,…read more& getting a 20% discount.........well, that's just an extra bonus! So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono! Overall, a very satisfying meal and the service here was on point, as the staff was friendly & very efficient. Easy 5 stars for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles! Chance 'em!

It's tucked…read moreinto a small strip mall, the dining room is no frills and if someone told me it was just another average neighborhood Chinese restaurant, I'd probably believe them. Then the food starts arriving. We ordered way more than we needed and almost everything impressed me. The chow fun was cooked exactly the way I like it. Chewy, smoky and never overcooked. My only complaint was that it leaned a little saltier than I prefer, but it was still very good. The Hainan chicken was the surprise of the meal. Perfectly tender with an incredible ginger sauce that I'd happily put on just about anything. Even the dishes I normally avoid won me over. I've never been much of a lotus root person, but theirs was crisp, savory and honestly delicious. The wontons were another highlight. Since we skipped the noodles, they generously gave us extra wontons instead, which was a really thoughtful touch. What really pushed this place from good to memorable, though, was the staff. We were there with our two and four year old and they couldn't have been kinder. They brought over little toys to keep the kids occupied, checked on us throughout the meal and made us feel genuinely welcome. None of it felt forced. It was just warm, thoughtful hospitality and that's something I always remember long after I've forgotten exactly what I ate. The bathroom situation isn't ideal, you have to use the one outside the restaurant, but that's really my only complaint beyond the slightly salty chow fun. This isn't the place I'd recommend for date night or a long evening out. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant you walk into expecting very little, then leave thinking, that was a lot better than it had any right to be. We'll definitely be back.
