I highly recommend ordering the roast pork and gau gee from here. The roast pork is lean and features perfectly crispy skin--just be sure to leave the container cover open so it stays crispy. The gau gee is also excellent and always made fresh while you wait. It is a wonderful family business, and the niece who works there is incredibly helpful. read more

Been to Mei Mei BBQ and Char Siu House in Chinatown but I like Roast Duck Kitchen the best. Their roast duck and pork belly in particular (my two favorite meats) are very juicy with crispy skin, and the portion of duck is not all bones like other spots. Their lunch plate is $17.50 without upgrades and comes with your choice of meat, two scoops rice, cabbage, and a gaugee. You can upgrade for $1 to fried rice or cake noodle or combo meat. The lunch plate is more expensive than the one at Mei Mei but it's twice the size and can feed two not starving people. I came around after 1230p and they had already run out of fried rice which was sad, I think the guy in front of me may have gotten the last order! So definitely go on the earlier side of lunch if you want to make sure they have everything you want. This is located on the second floor of the shopping center above Times (same level as McDonald's), just at the top of the escalators. Take out only. Place your order with the nice lady at the front, then wait until she calls your order out to pick up and pay. At peak lunch hour this can take 5 to 7 minutes. Credit card surcharge. There are a few shady tables on the second floor patio you can sit at to eat. read more

Tuesday April 14, 2026 I haven't been here in a very long time. I used to come here a lot in the past. Plenty parking. Come early or they run out of food. I was surprised that I came here at 1:30pm and no line outside. Service is fast. I ordered a Roast Pork with Cake Noodle Plate which came out to $19.37. The plate was ready in a few minutes. I decided to sit on 1 of the gray tables outside. It looks the same and it tastes good like in the past. The Roast Pork was big pieces, soft and juicy too! The cake noodle was like eating crunchy noodle like chips. It was good! It costs more than in the past. So, is every place else too. Support local businesses. I will be back again. read more

Roast pork was delicious, crispy gaugee was so fresh and crispy! Definitely will be going back.

When you visit a takeout eatery named Roast Duck Kitchen - you order the roast duck. In fairness, on my initial patronage, I got the excellent roast chicken. Today, I got the Roast Duck Plate; a hefty meal and a deal at $18. You have a choice of rice, fried rice, and ( if I recall correctly ) cake noodles. Plate comes with a crispy gau gee ( think it had shrimp ) and your entreè on a bed of cabbage. The duck was good, but the star was the fried rice - very generous with the pieces of char siu. I haven't been a vegetarian since earlier in the year...and I haven't had much duck, so it was fantastic to consume. Duck ranks high on my list of favorite animal proteins: Pork, duck, then beef. They do catering, as well. Hours: 900a till 400p, Tuesday thru Sunday. Closed on Mondays. Lots of parking stalls in the Aiea Shopping Center on the corner of Moanalua Road and Aiea Heights Drive. read more

After some of our group toured the Arizona Memorial, we decided to stop by RDK in Aiea Shopping Center (same center as Aiea Bowl). RDK was on my list from watching local You Tubers, Amanda & Felix. Unfortunately, they ran out of duck and char siu when we arrived early afternoon. Nonetheless, they still had hainan chicken, roast pork (not pictured) and gau gee. The chicken was perfectly poached, and sauce had a ton of ginger & garlic. Secondarily, the pork was tender and the skin was crispy. The only downside was no hoisin sauce. Lastly, the gau gee were packed full of flavorful fillings. My past experience with other places is that you are searching for meat. The lady in front was super nice, and the food came out quickly. There is no inside seating. However, there are tables located throughout the complex to enjoy your food. I'd like to return earlier in the day to try the duck and char siu. I've heard positive things about those items. read more

The duck plate lunch was so good! Duck was so tender and the sauce was savory. Gauge was crispy and so tasty. I highly recommend this location. Didn't wait long for food and they also gave large portions! No seating area inside the restaurant but there is seating around it right in the shopping center. Located on the second floor right by the escalators. Seating area was shaded, but limited. read more

Roast Duck Kitchen - 1/2lb Roast duck (comes w/one piece gau gee) and 1lb Roast pork - Chinese Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

While the service was fast and polite, I was a bit disappointed with the Roast Pork plate. Although a great price, the liquid from the cabbage had turned my dreams of crispy, oily skin.. soggy and rubbery. It was also very cold and stiff. My Husband loved the Duck but there shouldn't be any complaints if the Establishment is named after it's famed dish. Even the GauGee was cold and a little pink. We did eat it at home so I had the option of popping everything in the air fryer but we we're just starving at that point. I decided to not rate them low because they are a staple in the Aiea area and it's hard to find duck and roast pork without having to venture into Chinatown. They do take card which is awesome. I believe the Minimum is $10 and only Visa and MC is accepted. read more

Family was craving some Chinese BBQ and found this place. On the 2nd floor of the plaza. Takeout only. Can order meat by the pound or as a rice plate. Can see the roast pork, duck, chicken on display walking in. I got the lunch to go option which includes choice of meat and choice of rice with one gaugee. I got the roast pork and fried rice. Big portion. Fried rice was also made with the roast pork to give it some flavor. Not the best roast pork I've had but wasn't bad. I also got half a duck and half pound of roast pork. The duck had a juicy and tender meat. Good skin and goes well with the duck sauce they give. The roast pork had crispy skin but the pork it self was tough and dry. Low fat to meat ratio. Decent Chinese bbq place and does get busy with people waiting outside. No seatings here but plenty of parking. read more

Roast duck was very dry and it seems like they cook it one day in advance. Service is good. The store obviously needs to be renovated. I also noticed they were feeding birds in the back door of the kitchen. Maybe it's for dinner. Idk read more

A hidden gem! Well known in the Aiea community for its fresh meats! This place is a grab & go so there's no seating. Their menu is simple with fresh roasted pork, chicken, charsui, and duck. You can get it by weight or with rice or noodles as a plate. We opted for 1lb of charsui, 1/2lb roast pork. Both were super fresh, so fresh we had to wait for our order to be made. We also got their crispy gau gee which we devoured before we could even get a picture! It was super hot & fresh, crispy on the outside and filled with pork filling that wasn't too salty. The charsui was definitely a favorite. Super juicy and flavorful with barely any fatty pieces. My hubby was very impressed! The roast pork was also juicy and tender with the crispy top. Again, not too much gelatinous pieces. Overall, we will be back to try their cake noodles! read more

Excellent meats! The roasted chicken, pork, duck were all tasty. I think the roasted pork was my favorite but not the best for you. Roast duck and chicken were also very tender. They have lunch meals for $17-18.50. We got the roast chicken with crusty cake noodles. I think we didn't strategize on how to pour the sauce over the noodles or just wanted more sauce to help soften the noodles. Crispy gaugee came with the meals but you can order a separate order of them too. Great take out place. They're pretty busy but the orders came out quickly. read more

I was in the area and ordered half a roast duck - $20 and half pound roast pork - $10 worth. Both tasty and juicy. It was kind of hard to place my order since the woman at the counter was on the phone for awhile. Finally another person was able to take my order. It took a while for my order to be made eventhough no one was in front of me. I was the only one standing in line. The woman was still on the phone and moved toward the window. A woman and young girl came in after I placed my order and they told me to wait outside. The woman did not know what to order and asked a lot of questions. After it looked like she she ordered she moved closer to the door. They did not ask her to wait outside so I poked my head in and waited a few seconds by the door and my order was ready. So back to the parking lot. read more

I visited the Aiea shopping center to get my boys haircuts. We had some wait time so I passed by Roast Duck Kitchen. I remembered someone raving about this place so I decided to give it a a try. I ordered the oyster sauce chicken cake noodle, 1/2 pound char siu, 1/2 pound roast pork and a 1/2 duck. I went to mu car to eat and everything buy the cake noodle was cold. The roast pork skin was rubbery instead of crispy. The bottom of my plate of 1/2 duck and char siu was refrigerator cold. I went back to Roast Duck Kitchen and asked the lady at the counter if they serve their food cold? She said yes! In my 50 years of life, I have never had duck, roast pork or char siu served to me cold. I should have read some of the reviews before spending $80‍ read more

Came here around 1:30pm and the roast duck and bbq pork was sold out. Decided to try their roast pork so got a 1/2 lb. Pictures looked great but it wasn't that good. The skin was not airy and crispy. The meat was very tough and flavor was lacking. So my 2 Star rating is for the roast pork only. read more

Let me make this review simple and sweet. BEST ROAST DUCK HANDS DOWN. Me, my other half and my oldest son, we love us some roast duck. Every where it's served, we order it. So far this place has served the best from how the duck is cooked, seasoned and served. Down to the sauce that the duck comes with. They do serve other things like gau gee , roast pork, chicken, it's all pretty good too. But nothing beats the roast duck. read more

We stopped by before they opened on a Saturday morning, and there were already a few people waiting which is always a good sign. We ordered two, two choice combo plates: one with roast duck and roast pork, and the other with roast chicken and char siu. Each plate came with rice and a crispy gau gee making it a filling meal. While everything was tasty, the roast duck and roast pork were the clear standouts. The roast duck was tender, flavorful, and succulent in all the right ways, easily ranking among the best on the island. The roast pork had the perfect crackling and juicy interior. The char siu and roast chicken were good, but they didn't quite reach the same level. Next time, I plan to skip the combo plates and ordering a whole roast duck and half a pound of roast pork to create a feast at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality roast meats! read more

There's a a couple of places that get me nervous to order. As silly as it sounds, I get nervous because I don't want wanna get aunty mad at me. I was tempted to knock off a star, but I know it's just how aunty is over there. I'm honestly weak sauce so that's on me lol. I have to say though, the sauce for their duck is SOOOO good. It was a while since I was in the area so we picked up lunch one Sunday afternoon. It was a little after lunch, so I was slightly surprised there wasn't too long a line. We got some roast duck, roast pork and some char siu. The roast pork and char siu had great taste. The roast pork was a tiny bit salty when I ate it on its own, but it was just right with a spoonful or rice hehe For the duck, it was ok, but when I added the sauce..wooo! Soooo good! I wish they gave more sauce though..I'd pour it on everything if I could! The shop is small with no where to eat, so I'd recommend taking it somewhere to eat (park/beach/home/etc.). There are maybe 3 or 4 tables near by but they can get busy. Though aunty is small kine intimidating, the food is awesome and I'll be back again~ read more

10 years later, and I am proud to say Roast Duck Kitchen is still my #1 go to for crispy pork, roast duck, ginger chicken, cake noodle, and the crowd favorite gaugee. Any time there's a potluck I never have to think twice of what to bring and where to get it because it will ALWAYS be Roast Duck Kitchen's gaugee. I just call up the day before and tell them how many and time for pick up and they are always very accommodating. They also fry them when you pick up so they are hot and fresh when you get there. I'll always pick up a few lbs of pork belly or ginger chicken with cake noodle just for me because i will never get tired of their food. this truly hidden mom and pop shop will forever be one of my favorites. read more

Ordered one whole roast duck and one pins of roast pork. The roast duck is ok. The roast pork is usually very good especially the skin, so delicious. However today the roast duck was cold almost refrigerator cold probably from hanging outside the warmer for so long. The roast pork did not have the typical beautifully roasted skin instead it was very thin and again almost refrigerator cold. Understand that space is limited but kind of makes me a leery of being to wait outside after ordering, too many customers asking for choice pieces?? If distance is not an issue I will usually go to Kevin's. read more

This is a little whole in the wall at the Aiea Shopping Center. This only a take out spot. They only allow two patrons inside for ordering at a time. There is a lady behind the register who takes your order and two men cooking. One cuts the meat and chicken and the other does the frying and putting plates together. Once you order, the lady asks you to wait outside until your order is ready. They have a simple menu which consists of: - Roast Duck with a yummy sauce - Char Sui - Roast Pork - Roast Chicken - Ginger Chicken - Char Sui Fried Rice - Oyster Sauce Chicken - Crispy Gau Gee You can either order by the pound or in a plate lunch. The plate lunch consists of rice and a piece of crispy gau gee with your choice of protein. There is usually a long line, especially during lunch and if you get there too late, they run have limited items available. We ordered the Roast Duck & Char Sui plate and a half a pound of Roast Duck. Very tasty and lots of flavor. The sauce they give is also very good. I would say get there early if you want to get certain items. read more

I've heard that in Aiea they have the tastiest roast duck but I was too late sold out...only left was char-siu and roast pork... I ask what time roast duck sells out, he replied it all depends...they'll cut it or prepare it as you order..cashier sever asked me to wait...then I realized I wanted the yellow mustard so I asked if they have it. He says, it's 50cents.. how many you want with a not so friendly face..first I said two but changed my mind to one., he says next time I charge you! He put the mustard in my package! Without charge! (But I saw a Custoner go out with shoyu or special sauce I have no idea). To be nice I put $1 in that tip jar! It was my first time hearing word of mouth of their tasty roast duck! I normally don't like to give reviews like this, I am not sure I'll be back traveling from afar to this place for I know other places that sells roast duck...without the charge of mustard and maybe shoyu?? I guess he didn't like the idea I return to ask for it? For others please ask him in advance if he'll charge you for their mustard when ordering whatever they left in stock! read more
