Find Yen Yen in the Enchanted Lake Shopping Center, where Safeway, Ben Franklin, and McDonald's are located. Really savored the seaweed soup that felt so comforting and nourishing, especially given the windy and rainy weather conditions. Fish with green onion, chicken with black mushroom, shrimp with snow peas, and mixed vegetables were also enjoyable. Many customers echoed their gratitude for Yen Yen being open during the inclement weather and outage.

Takeout dinner from Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Located in Enchanted Lakes, Yen Yen Chinese Restaurant has been next to Safeway, near Round Table Pizza for around 40 years! I had never seen it before because it's in the far corner, across the parking lot from Ben Franklin and McDonald's! I only knew about it because my friends Deborah and Gabriel had been here recently. I read reviews by my friends Emily, Marissa, and Chelsea... it seemed like a legit place! I had to investigate! I called in my order and drove over... The free, shared parking is a big plus! Inside, the decor is pleasant and the environment is calm, clean, air-conditioned, and bright! There's a convenient restroom! The staff were very efficient and friendly! I told them that I wanted to dine in with my family, especially since my sister's birthday is next week! Adam, one of the workers, said to just call in our order a couple of days in advance so they can purchase the meats and produce! Okay! My order was ready and I drove home quickly! The sweet sour cabbage with squid was yummy! The sauce was a bit more liquidy than other restaurants, but was still flavorful with tiny bits of garlic! The cabbage was not mushy, and had just the right amount of crunch! The beef chow funn had tender pieces of meat, sautéed bean sprouts, and lots of chewy, thick noodles! Mmm! This was a very satisfying meal! I'm looking forward to returning next week!

I had lunch with my sister here in Tuesday, since she was in Kailua, and she was craving the…read moreSpecial House noodles with seafood that I usually bring to family get-togethers. We decided to eat here rather than take out, and being a day before NYE, they were busy with people placing and picking up orders for parties. Fortunately, there was a car just leaving the parking area, and one inside, there were only a couple of tables occupied, so we sat and were served pretty quickly. We shared one order of the House Special cake noodle, and an order of crispy pork. The food was good and tasty, as always, and there was still quite a bit to take home. We packed them in a couple of take out containers they provided, and we were done in less than 45 minutes. My favorites are the noodles, crispy gau gee, cold ginger chicken, moo shu pork, and their kau yuk pork with steamed buns. Just thinking about them now, makes me crave them and want to get some for lunch after New Year's day.

I originally planned to get a late breakfast at this restaurant's neighbor (Boots and Kimo), but…read morethe line was crazy-long, so I changed up and went here instead and targeted in on an early lunch. How lucky was that!? This "minor misfortune" of the long line resulted in my sampling an extraordinary Bahn Mi sandwich. I'll keep this short, and simply share that the lemongrass chicken version of their Bahn, was, as the kids say these days, "FIRE!" . I'm embarrassed to say that I only discovered Bahn mi sandwiches about 3 years ago, but have loved them ever since. The overall experience of chomping down on a typical Bahn mi is that the combination of textures that come from the marriage of "crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside" bread, and the soft flavorful meats and crunchy vegetables is pleasurable. But toss in the flavors that range from savory to tangy to sweet, and then off to spicy, are pretty-much as close to the definition of what a harmonious and complementary meal, that excites the tastebuds, should be. I've probably had 30 of them in my life, and I would say, Saigon Noodle puts one together that just moved into my personal favorite for this blended cultures sandwich. The owner served me, and he's one of those guys who you instantly like. It's hard to put words together to describe why he was so likable and pleasant, but on my visit, his "A-game" of friendliness and charm was on. But, even if he had a "Bahn Mi Nazi" personality, I'd still go for the sam-ich. It was really good!!

They have been at their Kamehameha Highway location for 43 years...must be doing something right. Decor looks straight from the 80's too...dated but nice..."Back to the Future." When I visit a Chinese restaurant I often will get something on special or a duck entrée. Requested Roast Duck with Hoisin sauce for takeaway; I received it in the 10 minutes I was told. It was excellent and a decent portion for $18. Hours are 1000a till 830p daily, except on Mondays - when they are closed. Lots of parking stalls in front...a beauty salon is in the adjacent unit. Aloha Gas is nearby.

We did have a pre-order issue, though. Since I arrived early to make sure everything was set, it was an easy recovery but still disappointing. One pre-order dish was egg fu yong. While the server was reviewing the order with me, she said they didn't have it that day. I told her I wasn't notified when I pre-ordered like I was told "no steamed fish" but I just increased the quantities for the other items and it was seamless for the rest of the guests. She did say but I ordered early enough to get my Peking duck. (If we didn't get that I would have them been pretty annoyed.) Food: Not quite as good as last Christmas but still good. Minute chicken cake noodle - chicken was a bit dry and a little tough. Noodles, gravy, Choi sum was good. Soft gau gee mein (family loves our noodles) was better - very tasty, but the gravy was overflowing and spilling all over. Peking duck - half duck, with buns. Came with the customary plum (hoisin) sauce but no green onions/scallions. Not the same without it but was good. Duck skin was crispy, duck meat wasn't dry. Shrimp chips were stale, though. Walnut shrimp was good. Shrimp was slightly overcooked but not enough to matter. Beef broccoli was very good, but not sure they gave us two orders, seemed small compared to the other dishes which we had upped from 1-1/2 to 2. Overall, it's challenging to get good Chinese food now days so we were all satisfied with the food, good service, and the ease of having the dishes come out timely. Hopefully the next time the food will have gone back up in quality and I can give 4 stars.

Food was great and tasty. Chicken feet: was large feet. Don't know where they came from. This was my only disappointment. Tasty but not want I am use to. Taro puffs : was nice size and crispy. Bean curd roll: is little on the sweet side. Mochi puffs with pork: crunchy and just enough meat. Pork hash: Great as normal Soy sauce chow fun: Not you salty soy. Believe it's the Chinese soy. So it's not on the salty side. When you order 5 or more dishes. You get a free dish free. Service was fast and you are greeted as soon as you step in.

Cons: taste is not want I am use to but, the items are very tasty. Would I return? Yes. Parking is great. Lots of seating. Air condition.

I go there once a month to buy food to take to my mom, who lives in a foster care home. It's usually egg flower soup, stuffed tofu with pork, beef chow mein or shrimp fried rice and sometimes a chicken dish. I order online, usually at 9am, for pick-up at 10:30. The staff are nice and friendly, which isn't always the case at a Chinese restaurant. BTW, don't place an online order too early; they might miss it. On a rare occasion, I would add a dinner plate for myself. It's on par with one I get from Golden Duck on King St. I prefer the food at K***** on the other side of Kaneohe but I much prefer the parking at New Mui Kwai. Plus, it's much closer to my home and more convenient when visiting my mom. New Mui Kwai is a solid, old school Chinese restaurant. I'll keep coming back so I suppose that's a recommendation from me. Sorry, no pics ... A picture of a box containing food containers would be boring. :p

I ordered the shrimp katsu ramen with a shoyu egg. The broth and noodles were excellent and really the highlight of the dish. I wasn't a huge fan of the shrimp katsu on its own since it was a bit chewy, but once it soaked in the broth, it was much better. The portion size was just right, filling without being too much. Overall, a solid ramen spot, especially if you're already in Kailua.
