    line out the door
    Angel H.

    This is the Panda Express at the Kamehameha Shopping Center. I wasn't expecting this place to be so busy. It was on a weeknight and the line was out the door. No joke! People must love Americanized Chinese food. There's nothing wrong with it. I quite like it myself. Out of all the Pandas that I've been to I received the best service from this location. The manager on duty was named Angel. I remember because she has the same name as me. She rang me up and asked if I was in their loyalty program. She scanned the code on my phone and asked if I wanted to use some of my points for a free entree item. Of course I did. I asked for sweet and sour sauce. She gave a generous amount, not just one or two packets. What I love about Panda is the food is always fresh. They cook them in small batches. They also have an open kitchen so you know everything is clean. My favorite items to get are the chow fun, super greens, teriyaki chicken, Beijing beef, black pepper angus steak and walnut shrimp.

    Trying to be more health conscious with less starchy foods like rice and noodles when eating Chinese take out / fast foods. Panda Express has "super greens" which consists of broccoli, kale, cabbage instead of rice or noodles. In addition, had their chicken mushroom and beef broccoli. It was a pretty healthy and tasty plate lunch!! Price is very reasonable and they give generous portions! If you're not as hungry, my friend had their Bowl which had Super Greens & Chicken Mushroom! They were busy but the staff was quick and pleasant. I'll be returning for sure. Only critique I have is I hope they would add some sort of pork dish.

    My dad is Panda Express NUMBA #1 FAN! Lol!!!! As the years pass, my elderly father no longer cooks so a great alternative is getting some Chinese fast food grub from Panda Express. Luckily there are many Panda Express outlets all over the island, and yesterday since I was working in the Kalihi area, I stopped by the Panda Express at the Kamehameha Shopping Center. This particular Panda Express location at the Kamehameha Shopping Center is pretty spacious, and the food selection is plentiful. Because this restaurant is in a major strip mall, finding free parking is easy. Depending on when you come here, this particular Panda Express can get pretty busy, but the staff here at Panda's is pretty efficient in processing the many hungry eaters who come here for their Chinese fast food fix. Quick Tip: Keep your receipt when you pay for your food, and go online & do the "customer survey feedback" so you can get a code to get a free entree the next time you come to eat at Panda Express. DEALAGES Yo!

    Beyond Orange Chicken with greens (notice the giant hunk of cabbage?)
    Carrie G.

    2.5 stars seems accurate. I know better than to have high expectations for fast food chains and I feel a bit silly writing a review for this place but here we are. The pros: Convenient location with plenty of parking Staff are fast and efficient The store is clean Prices aren't bad, especially when they have BOGO offers (I get these via email) Fast and convenient The cons: The flavor at just about ANY other Chinese restaurant is better I don't think food quality is a focus at this company Portion sizes are stingy IMO (see pics) Buying food here does not support small business After a long morning of being stuck on back to back calls, I was starving so I decided to use a BOGO bowl coupon to try the new Beyond orange Chicken. I like being able to order and pay ahead so I walked in and my food was ready. I was pretty disappointed to see that the portion of eggplant tofu was so tiny. It literally had only 2 pieces of tofu!! A few eggplant slices and peppers and mostly noodles (the entree portion was sitting on top of more noodles). The Beyond Orange Chicken was tasty and I love this new meat alternative offering. I hope more fast food restaurants will get on board with this. For the plant based people, planet and the animals. The mixed greens were utterly tasteless so I added sauces at home (chili garlic oil, hot sauce and oyster sauce). It's a decent quick meal option and probably slightly better nutritional value than McDonald's. I like how you can choose how healthy you eat here and the calorie content is included on the menu.

    Picked up our 2 choices 1 with Chow fun and the other with noodles. I had the chow fun with Spicy pork & Beef broccoli which I enjoyed it was not too spicy and the Beef Broccoli was tasty and the broccoli not over cooked. The chow fun was ok I wish they put some mustard sauce in when you do take outs. My wife had the noodles with Beef & Tofu and Orange chicken which she enjoyed. Good thing we ordered a head of going down because there was a long line going out the door for customers wanting to order, for phone in orders they have a separate line so we were in and out real fast. We ordered for a fun raiser to help out a school!

    Fried rice, honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken

    It's located in Kam Shopping Center. Their service was fast and portion size can feed 2 people or my lunch and dinner.

    Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... I had a generous Panda Express gift card to use and I chose to redeem it at the Kamehameha Shopping Center location for our family's 4th of July dinner. With lots of free shared parking, this Panda Express is clean, modern, and efficient. I got three entrees: Beijing Beef (a bit spicy), Chicken with Green Beans, and Orange Chicken (my niece's favorite), and five drinks. My nephew and nieces were surprised with the drinks. I really wanted to get them "Panda Tea" - because they like pandas - but the tea machine wasn't working or they had run out. So, I just got the pre-poured drinks in the display. They turned out to be one strawberry lemonade, two raspberry lemonades, one mango lemonade, and one regular lemonade. Everyone liked their drink! I guess I should return and hopefully, "Panda Tea" will be available!

    Cashier dropped our food by mistake. She's very nice and offered to replace it (as they should). But it was different lady who scooped the food. And the food she replaced it with, she only put half in the boxes. Lady, it's not like your pay will get affected or deducted from correcting this mistake!! I mean we paid for these by box not by weight, so we expect it to be full!! The first side order boxes were full, but the food that's replaced was only half full!! The young employees there are very nice, warm and friendly. It's the middle age Filipina lady in her late 40s who is dishonest and bad customer service!!

    Tuesday February 3, 2026. New item is the Mango Peach pie…read more Drive thru takes some time and plenty cars in the driveway thru instead of walking inside. Smell: the first thing you smell is a strong peach smell. Taste: you taste mango first then the peach and sometimes the other way around. Or slightly both. For me: just saiyng, I think it would be better if they were separate. Mango or peach and you choose which flavor pie that you want. Overall, it was good. Ambiance is casual and comfortable as I ate inside before in the past.

    I can never complain about the food, I love McDonald's. But…read morethis is probably the slowest McDonald's on the island! Drive Thru, Curbside and Counter service. I have gone at peak times and where there is nobody inside. I visit this location because it's the closet and on the way usually but you WILL wait over 30 minutes in the drive thru or curbside. And at least 15-20 inside the restaurant for anything including a food item. I worked at McDonald's for 4 years in high school, and I just can't imagine what is slowing them down THIS MUCH. I also observe that they complete their orders on their order screens before the order is complete in order to shorten their times. Anyway, thank you for my 99c ice coffee. For reference. I made a mobile order at 945am, arrived at curbside at 9:50am, and I am still waiting for my order of 2 coffees and 3 breakfast platters at 10:21am... Hoping food will still be hot and my ice coffees aren't just sitting on the counter watered down... I ended up going inside to get my food, was greeted by a sweet young crew member named Leilani helped me get my order. Finally got my order at 10:30am.

    I am now sold on Jollibee. The chicken is really good. Side of gravy included with every chicken…read moreorder... Oh Yeah. My fav is the 10 piece with two sides. I usually get mashed and fries. Why 2 potato thingys? Cause the chicken is the star, it's all good. Only drawback is the parking situation. But the ppl in the lot seem to know the situation and are very polite. I tend to order on the way there and go through the drive through to avoid parking. This is for the Kalihi shop. Super nice employees, and restrooms available.

    Confession time, we were introduced to Jollibee's at a kids birthday party. Before that, never…read morereally thought twice about going to Jollibee. The first time we went to the drive through, we ordered the 2 piece Chicken joy meal, which includes 2 pieces of chicken, a side, a drink, and a fruit pie. Hubs wanted the spicy, and I opted for the spicy chicken sandwich. We got home, and his face fell flat because they did not give him the spicy chicken. They also did not give him the fruit pie. Next visit, I ordered the Chicken joy meal, 1-2pcs regular, and 1-2pcs spicy with mash potato and cole slaw. We got what we ordered, yeah! So far a 50/50 chance of a successful order. Fast forward a week to hitting up Jollibee on a Sunday. I'm not sure if it was because it was the weekend, or if we got there when they just opened, but ordered the Chicken joy meal x2, one spicy one regular. Hubs wanted their cole slaw, the cashier said there wasn't any available. Got to the window, and my husband says, did you get the pie included? We wanted 2 ube. She gives us the total and it was $26.07. I looked at him funny, because the meal is $13. There should've been much more for the taxes. Hubs asks about the pies and the cashier says, "ok, that will be $7". Hubs had no time for this, and asked for the manager because there was some communication issues, as the pie is included in the meal deal. The manager comes in, fixes the order (cashier input it as a 2 piece meal--no joy in that). They ask us to pull forward to wait for our order. The line started gettting longer, and more people were waiting for their orders in the parking lot. After a painful 10 minute wait, I hopped out of the truck and headed to the counter. One of their workers was running a bag out, so I asked if that was ours, and she said no. Headed to the counter and handed the cashier my receipt, and told her we have been waiting for nearly 10 minutes. She checked the bag on the counter and apologized because they were waiting for the gravy. (insert head blown emoji). I checked for the pies, and headed out to hubs. I should've checked the chicken, because they failed to give the spicy one. gah! Maybe we have to go in the store to get the order right? The chicken is delicious, the ube pie is amazing. It's the service at this drive through that has got me less than joyful. But I am a glutton for punishment because I will probably go back because it is that good.

    Little overdue of a review but here we go lol…read more. Diners has been a staple for my family & I , and I'm sure many other families on island for YEARS. Our family's go to was always Cheeseburger and yellow sauce with fries! As time and society evolved , so did Diners, since they became "Upscale" and added more things to their menu. I have tried their Grilled lobster plate more than once from their Upscale menu in the past and I think during that time it was $15? Not sure if it's still that price, but for that price it was a winner! Lobster + salad and rice ? What more can you ask for since that's basically a steal in today's economy. Anyway , I was in the area recently and decided on diners for dinner. I was really craving ahi katsu, unfortunately my go to spot was already closed since I decided on dinner a little after 8pm ish? So I thought .. well diners has ahi katsu supposedly .. why not give it a try. I wasn't expecting much since it was Diner's BUT needless to say.. their ahi katsu is DELICIOUS. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection! I love the sauce they drizzle on the katsu. I should've asked for extra sauce on the side had I known it was gonna be yummy! But that's something to keep note of on my next visit in the future. I definitely would order this plate again! And continue to adventure out on their menu lol. A tip to keep in mind : they do have signs posted by their windows to be patient when ordering because they do take a bit to make and give you your order since they are always short staffed. And there's normally alot of people waiting or ordering since lots come to this establishment right after work or in between work or just simply there for a bite to grab. So prepare to wait .. but sometimes you can be lucky where it doesn't take as long. It does truly depend on time and the day I guess. Also one last thing, my personal opinion , I think Diners is worth grabbing food from. Whether you're hungry , in the area or wanting to grind. Some people have mixed reviews or bad experiences but me personally , I always had a good outcome. Oh also before I forget their steak is delicious too (LOL) , never ordered it for myself but I shared some of it with one of my relatives who ordered their steak before. Give this place a shot!
