Roast Duck Kitchen located on Aiea Heights Drive in the Aiea Shopping Center second floor above Times Supermarket. Known for their Tasty Roast Duck. They also have some awesome Char Siu and Roast Pork as well as Roast Chicken, Ginger Chicken, Fried Rice, Cake Noodles, and Rice plates. The Roast Pork has a very nice flavor tender and crispy skin moist and tender meat. The Roast Duck is very tasty with that flavorful skin, moist and tender meat. Locally owned and operated. Service is very quick and efficient. Got to get there early they run out quickly. Lots of free parking in the shopping center parking lot. . Highly recommended best on the West Side.
My office did a large take out order for lunch and I got the roast pork plate with white rice. It came with a gau gee and mustard shoyu. The roast pork had a tasty crispy skin and topped along some cooked cabbage. It was so good! My coworkers and I all enjoyed our meal, they ordered roast pork, roast duck, chicken on cake noodle, and char siu. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The portions are generous and I had enough for another meal.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I stopped by on Thursday, at 1:00p on 8/20/26, to get some Roast Pork, and a 1/2 Char Sui and Ginger Chicken Plate. The other day I stopped by to get 1/2 a Roast Duck with Cake Noodles. Of course their Roast Duck is savory and one of the best on the island hence their restaurant name. The skin is crisp and the meat is warm and flavorful. The cake noodles come with a sauce to pour over the noodles. It also comes with a Gau Chee as well as a side container of hot mustard and shoyu to add a little kick to it. My husband enjoys the roast pork. The skin is crisp and crunchy and the meat is glistening and marbled with fat that is so tasty. I enjoy the Char Sui that is nice and sweet. The ginger chicken is good as well. Overall, I love coming to Roast Duck Kitchen for the Roast Duck. I will definitely be back. Make sure you come early, sometimes they run out of the Roast Duck, Roast Pork, and Char Sui. 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

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

The roast duck was okay, but the roast pork was on point. Loved the crispy gau gee, that was one of the best I've tasted. 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

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
Just not the same, I think ownership change as been made. The roast pork isn't the same from what I remember! The roast pork was super crispy skin and super juicy, it's not anymore! Plus if you choose to use credit cards you now be charged 3% more! Service was fast and friendly but I noticed no line like usual! Anyways it is what it is... 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

It says they deliver, but I don't see a website? Is it through an app?
They deliver through Grubhub
If I ordered food the day before, do I still need to stand in that ridiculous line?
Not at all, just go to the front and let the person next know you've got a pick up order- they should let you right in for your pick up time.
