Crispy won ton
Lyn L.

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
Deborah P.

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.

Bo's Kitchen is a mom-and-pop Cantonese restaurant with other Asian favorites like laksa,…read morejajangmyeon, and Japanese curry, to name a few. This is my first time trying their food, and I have a lot of positive thoughts regarding their dishes. Their beef brisket noodle was one of my all-time favorites compared to other locations, because they are generous with the amount of brisket they give you and they use egg noodles by default. Their soup was okay, but the braised and marinated meat was definitely the highlight of this dish. Overall, a great late night evening option in town for Cantonese comfort food, even among those coming from China; I think that speaks volumes about the authenticity of their food and quality. Highly recommend and would love to return to try their laksa in the future.

I appreciate that they separated the broth from the noodles. Who wants to eat soggy noodles?

I came here maybe 5-6 years ago when they first opened, mainly to try their famous "flying…read morenoodles," which were such a trend back then. Honestly, everything was just okay--nothing really stood out to me--so we never came back. Over the years, though, I kept hearing friends talk about this place and say it was one of their favorite Chinese restaurants. I was still not convinced... and then my husband started hearing the same thing from more and more people. So, here I am, finally giving them another try! And WOW... the menu has changed and expanded so much since the last time I was here. There are so many more options now, and everything we ordered was flavorful and tasty. The portions are HUGE, and you can definitely tell they don't skimp on the ingredients, produce, or seasoning. We ordered the salted egg chicken wings and the stir-fried ong choy--both were really good! The drinks were also tasty, although they were a little not sweet enough for me, But I'd definitely order one again when I'm feeling healthier. Where have I been all these years?! ‍ This place has officially become one of my favorite spots for Chinese food. Sometimes you really do have to give a place a second chance!

Monthly special October 2026 with dining out coupon. 20% off. Sweet sour crispy spare. ($18.95…read moreregular price). Also ordered Brine Duck ($25.95). Both were really good. Located in Market city, near Foodland, Duck Lee, Tmobile. Parking stalls maybe tight and challenging during peak time. Would like to return for the beef brisket won ton noodle in soup and minute chicken cake noodle. Good portion for price. Highly recommend. No surcharge on charge cards

They have free parking in the small lot right outside their restaurant, but there is also paid parking across the street. We were lucky, and people were leaving as we got there. For 7 of us, we got the rabokki, meat jun, half order of bossam, and kimchee pancake. This was more than enough food for everyone, and we probably would have skipped the kimchee pancake next time. The food was really good, and I would definitely recommend the bossam if you're with a group. The meat is super soft and flavorful, and even the half order was a generous portion. We also ordered the lemon soju and yogurt soju pitchers. They have tablets for you to order the food, which was super convenient. The food comes out pretty quickly, and the service is friendly.

The food was very delicious. My favorite was the bulgogi because it was tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the spicy rice cakes, but I wish they gave a bigger portion of it.. The chicken was okay, but not something I'd order again. The spicy sauce was drenched all over the chicken and was very spicy. The regular crispy chicken didn't have enough salt for me and was overcooked.

LET ME BE CLEAR TO THE EMPLOYEES…read more YOU DO NOT FEED THE BIRDS AT THE RESTAURANT! The reason that people are having to literally fight off the birds from taking and eating their food is because the employees are FEEDING THE BIRDS. I watched an employee take the bread from the restaurant and feed the birds right in a corner of the restaurant. Then dozens of birds fly over and they don't leave. This is the second time I been here. The first time a bird flew into my face to grab bread out of my hand and then flew onto our table and in the bread basket to take our food. I wasn't upset about it and didn't say anything because I said whatever it happens. Now the second time after I saw and employee feeding the birds now I'm frustrated. You now feed the birds and they will never leave, and now they feel comfortable to fly into peoples plates and faces to take food from them. The employees created the problem and only make it worse now. Sit inside as much as possible. No wonder that place has a bird problem but every other outdoor restaurant does not.

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.
