Let me first say, for the past 10 years, I enjoy eating the plate lunches here. My favorite? The chicken With FooJook. But yesterday I was totally disappointed. Ordered 2 plate lunches. One with Their everyday on the menu item, Stuffed bitter melon (which is good) and terrible tasting Chicken balls sweet sour. (tasted like the smell of canned dog food) I sorry but that's what it tasted like. On top of that my 2 scoops of white rice was mushy wet and gooey. I called to let them know. I was pissed. My feeling of always a good place for Chinese food has changed. Too bad. I like the workers and the Manapua there. Hopefully they don't let their quality slide anymore. read more

Best baked manapua. Don't @ me. I've been getting baked manapua from here for as long as I can remember. It's on Maunakea Street going makai, a right where the sign to Royal Kitchen is right before the Chinese Cultural Plaza garage parking, and a walk to the riverside where the restaurant is and where Chinese uncles gather to play mah-jong. Ordering is simple; pull a number and request how many baked manapua, half moons, and pork hash you would like (all popular and personal favorites). Like other places, there are a variety of flavors and can be distinguished by the markings/designs on top of the manapua. But what makes this the best is the dough-filling harmony; the dough is soft and encases the savory filling so well. Sarap. And the half moons and pork hash with hot mustard? Can't go wrong. Baked manapua + other goods will always be a staple in my life. read more

Our first time to Royal Kitchen was in Nov 23. So many times I've been to Oahu and never heard of them. Thanks to Island 98.5 radio station, they were talking about them one morning so my family and I had to try them. We had tried steamed manapuas but never baked. Royal kitchen is on another level when it comes to manapuas. They beat everyone I've ate on Oahu. The staff was very polite. The prices are awesome. I highly suggest the Kalua pork and portugese sausage baked manapua as well as the pork hash. Trust me you won't just eat one manapua. We tried to eat just one and went back in for more. We ended visiting Royal kitchen 3 times in 2 weeks. And I'm not a carb or bread eater and I had a cheat me for these! :) One visit was on our way to the airport, my adult kids had to get one last manapua before getting on the plane. Royal kitchen is close to chinatown. Very quick service and very fresh food. Mahalo to Royal kitchen and their staff. We will be back the next time we visit Oahu. read more

Never actually been here before but had dim sum from this restaurant before. Very convenient parking early in the morning. Very quick and friendly service. Best for take out and possibly to take to neighbor island as opens very early. read more

There's a reason a business like this stays open for so long.....consistency!!! Their manapuas are always spot on. This is also one of the best Omiyage to take to friends and family on the neighbor islands since they are open at the crack of dawn. There's a great selection of prepared dishes to make a mean plate lunch. Ask any of the friendly ladies for suggestion if you can't make up your mind. There's no seating area, so take that lunch to go, unless you want to eat it outside and get bothered by pigeons. read more

My go to place for the best baked manapua, pork hash, half moon, roast pork and char siu! Suggest to call in your order ahead as they do get quite busy. Validated parking in back of Chinese Cultural Plaza but I've been lucky to find street meter parking from time to time. They have many customers who buy to take to outer island too! read more

I've been going to Royal Kitchen for decades, never had any complaints. But today, I got there early and ordered lup cheong Manapua, Kalua pork manapua, pork hash and half moon. I watch everyone else in line with me leave with their orders. 45 minutes go by and I ask them about it and they tell me no lup cheong now. I replace it with hot dog manapua, then I'm about to check out the lady tells me no half moon, all pork hash okay! She's not asking me she's telling me. I tell her No! I ordered 45 minutes ago and I watched them take pans of half moon and put it into other walk in orders when they couldn't tell me 45 minutes ago that they didn't have lup cheong. Needless to say, I refuse the order since 2 of the four items I ordered were out and I waited for nothing. I get that it's lunar new year but 14 other people in line with me got their orders relatively quick and no one felt the need to say anything to me! Idk man, decades of coming here and this is the first time I'm thinking I might not go back! read more

By far the best Cha Su on the Island as well as the best baked manapua! We also love the pork hash and roast pork! They are all life changing! We come here every trip to the Island and sometimes more than once on the same trip! Stop by, you won't regret your decision ! read more

Still the best on the island for baked char siu bao, IMHO!

First of all the address on here takes you somewhere else, use this address: 195 N. Kukui Street Honolulu, Hawaii 96817 It will take you to the parking for Royal Kitchen, where you take a short 1 minute walk to the location. Since Libby's closed this is the closest I'll get to good Pork Hash and their Baked Manapua is amazingly soft. Don't sleep on this place. read more

Picked up manapua and pork hash to take to a potluck. Bought extra so I could have couple pieces for breakfast and that's when I notice the manapua was cold, not room temperature and it wasn't enjoyable. Discarded half and went for the pork hash and it was like warm, omg...I'm done eating. Rushed the food to grandmas home and air fried the manapua and microwave the pork hash. read more

Royal Kitchen - Dim Sum Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Since i was already parked a cultural plaza, i decided to stop by Royal Kitchen. They specialize in baked manapua or Char Siu Bao. There is another place that i prefer over this one, but this one is still very good. I got 2 char siu (BBQ pork) This place also makes different flavors, too which i should have taken advantage of. I should have tried the kalua pork. But oh well i guess theres always next time. I was kind of surprised at the price at about $1.60 each, i feel its kind of steep but i guess thats inflation for you. They also have pork hash and other which i should have gotten too, but since i just came from eating at cultural plaza, i just got the 2 char siu bao which i ate the next day for a snack. read more

I waltzed into the office one morning, and my workers beckoned me over to a table topped with anonymous boxes. I lifted the lid of each box to find a delicious-looking spread of dim sum from Royal Kitchen. There were baked cha siu buns (what I formerly called "bao" but was now instructed by my local coworkers to call MANAPUA lol), baked Portuguese sausage buns, pork hash (think a pork meatball wrapped in dumpling skin), and rice cakes. The manapua were great! The bread just might've been my favorite part - mildly sweet and SO FLUFFY! I'm a sucker for BBQ pork bao, so the cha siu manapua was an instant favorite for me. I liked the Portuguese sausage more than I thought I would - I have to say, the variation in texture between the pillowy bread and the crunchy sausage shell was a winner! The pork hash were also tasty and perfectly sized for popping into your mouth whole! I ate mine with a touch of the spicy mustard sauce provided for a little kick of heat. The rice cakes were no less satisfying. They were chewy and glutinous, much like mochi. Similar to the bread of the manapua, the rice cakes were mildly sweet. I could imagine eating them for dessert as well as for breakfast, but they were definitely not overwhelmingly or tooth-achingly sweet! All in all, this was a great introduction to the dim sum at Royal Kitchen and in Hawaii. I can't wait to return the favor and surprise my coworkers with a breakfast spread just as good! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall in such a inconspicuous space! Still a solid 4.5 stars! Come here for the baked manapua! For sure the bun to meat ratio is the best! I think the most tasty manapua in the islands! Don't forget to pick up the char sui and crispy pork belly! Soooooo.... Onolicious and reasonably priced! We'll definitely be back when we're back in the islands! read more

One of the better Manapua places on the island. This is one of those iykyk places. I eat here on occasion.

The best baked char siu manapua there is. The bun is light and airy. The char siu is a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Grab a dozen for the office and it's gone. Don't forget the pork hash and half moon. read more

Best baked manapua on Oahu. The lady's are always nice and sometimes gives my kids a free rice cake.

In my opinion, the best manapua in town! Grab a number when you enter for service. They are baked and Royal Kitchen has a wide variety - char siu, lup cheong, portugese sausage, chicken, curry chicken, hot dog, kalua pork, vegetarian, and some sweet ones. Their manapuas have a stamp on top of them to indicate what's inside. The legend is on the top of the box. I love this as I hate not knowing what I'm getting in a mixed box like some other places. There is also a hot food counter where you can get a plate lunch with one, two or three entree selections, very reasonable! They sell roast duck, roast pork, shoyu chicken and even have very reasonable pupu platter. I love their jong (mochi rice with stuffing in banana leaf). Parking is super easy and they validate, entrance is between the two Chinese schools across the mortuary. Some of the ladies that work here remind me of my grandmother that is no longer around so it's nostalgic for me. I also get to practice my Cantonese while ordering. read more

Royal Kitchen - Manapua. Only half of their options - Dim Sum Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Looking for the best baked Manapua in Honolulu? This is possibly it!!! What is a Manapua? It's a Pidgin English term used in Hawaii for "char siu bao"... The Chinese style buns filled with a chopped pork mixture. Nowadays, the fillings have evolved and Royal Kitchen currently offers these flavors: Portuguese sausage Lup cheong Hot dog Kalua Pork Vegetarian Chicken Curry chicken Black sugar Coconut Sweet potato (ube) For just $1.50 each (plus tax), these rolls are quite tasty, satisfying and filling! They also have plate lunches and great rice cake, Noodles, Chinese Chicken Salad, Ma Tai Su, Jin Dui, half moon, and giant pork hash! Call ahead if you want a large serving to bring to a party! AMBIANCE: This shop is just a small, take out, hole-in-the-wall type of place. There's no where to sit... unless you want to dine outdoors with sketchy people of Chinatown (not recommended). SERVICE: Remember to take a number at the counter and wait your turn. Don't be alarmed by the brisk service - it's just business - nothing personal! It's a efficient and busy place! I don't know how those ladies can keep track of everyone and tally up the orders so quickly! They're awesome! LOCATION: Even though their address is listed as Beretania Street (which is the address for the Chinese Cultural Plaza), they are on the canal side of the complex, closer to Kukui Street. It is opposite from the Beretania Street entrance. PARKING: There's parking validation with purchase. Enter the parking lot from Kukui Street. If it's full, park at the Chinese Cultural Plaza parking garage (enter on Maunakea Street) or metered street parking (free on Sundays and Holidays). People have taken these goodies to Neighbor Islands and even to the mainland. I wonder if I should try it... Maybe it should be frozen first, and then taken abroad? What do you think? read more

When I ask people on the outer islands what they want from Honolulu, 80% ask for Manapua, Pork Hash, and Rice Cake. Then 70% of them ask for me to go to Royal Kitchen to get it. Once I made the mistake of going somewhere else and those 70% looked at me like I committed the biggest sin ever. I mean, it was a look of utter disgust. Some were nice about it and tasted the stuff I brought, and then told me to only go to Royal Kitchen from then on. Since then, I have only bought them manapua from Royal Kitchen. For my friends who live on the mainland and is wondering what is manapua??? It's a reflection of Chinese influence and one that the local culture adapted and adopted. It used to be small bun with a sweet bbq pork filling. Now it a nice sized handful of goodness. If you don't care for pork, Royal Kitchen has other flavors you can get like, hot dog, lup cheong, chicken curry, portuguese sausage, and yes they even have a vegetarian one among others. This place is located by the Chinese Cultural Plaza on the canal side. I like to try and find street parking on Kukui St. but if there is none you can park inside the parking lot in the Chinese Cultural Plaza which you can get parking validation with purchase. Sometimes the lines can be long but usually the line moves fast. If you want to make sure you get all your order, especially if it's a big one, I recommend you calling your order in. To see all the different types of manapua and other things you can get, you can check out this link and see their menu as well as a map to where they are located. http://royalkitchenhawaii.com/Royal_Kitchen/Menu.html read more

Very few food place open at 7:00 in the morning! Good thing my husband was able to find this place. Yummy food!

Great little hole in the wall spot in Chinatown with amazing manapuas and pork hash! Definitely will go back again. The workers there were so friendly and helpful when it came to choosing which manapua to try...I ended up buying 2 of each! Great prices for such delicious food :) read more

Most locals remember this place as one of the first Chinese take out places to offer baked bao (包 or 包子) in addition to the steamed bao. I remember their opening was sometime back in the early-to-mid 1970's. My boyfriend, now husband, and I used to drive from the UH Mānoa campus during a break between classes just to get some of the savory baked bao or dim sum, noodles (stir-fried or in soup), Chinese-style roasted meats and/or plate lunches. Bao is essentially yeast-raised wheat flour buns filled with either savory or sweet fillings. The most popular bao is the steamed Char siu (sweet Cantonese roast pork) bao (叉燒包) that has a fluffy white bread exterior. However, baked Char siu bao (叉燒餐包) becomes more like a bun with a golden brown crust that is swathed with a light sugar glaze. The fillings savory filling that Royal Kitchen stuffs into these slightly sweet dough buns are: -Cantonese BBQ Pork (Char siu) -Chicken -Curry Chicken -Kalua Pig (Hawaiian shredded smoked and lightly crisped pork) -Lap Chong (Chinese sausage 臘腸) -Portuguese Sausage or linguiça -Vegetarian (don't know what's in this as I've not ever had it but I'm assuming mushrooms, celery, carrots, water chestnuts...) Sweet or more dessert-like fillings include: -Coconut (sweetened coconut shreds or sometimes macaroon flakes) -Black sugar (common Asian ingredient...not as sweet as granulated sugar but has a more complex rounded flavor). -Sweet potato These bao and Royal Kitchen's various delicatessen items make simple, tasty and quick snacks for anytime of the day. Many locals will order dozens of these bao just to share with co-workers, friends and relatives who live on outer island visits or on the Mainland or even abroad. Service is often brusque but, make sure that you take a number from the queuing system, preview the menu posted up on the wall and wait for your turn. Oh, they also have a catering menu from which they can accommodate your party needs. There is a small parking lot in the rear of this takeout cafe and they will give you a few minutes of grace time IF you're picking up an order. If not, you can either find metered street parking or validated parking in the Chinese Cultural Plaza. read more

Food, especially manapua is AMAZING but they always run out!!!!!!!!!!!! I've called at 8 am and by then they've run out of coconut manapua or don't have enough to fill a 10 piece order. They need to better track things and make more manapua. Supply chain management!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

So I'm assigned this task: - Pick up at 5:30 a.m. (when Royal Kitchen opens) - 5 dozen prepaid manapua (Chinese char siu bao) - On the Kukui side of the complex (huh?) - Get it to the airport ASAP as teachers are moving 72 students through TSA check line . . . We know it's risky but when you're traveling from O'ahu to the inter-islands and you show up without manapua (you risk never being welcomed back). By the grace of the manapua (Royal refers to them as "buns") gods, I figure out the parking situation (kind of). I know it says free validation with 30 minute pick up, and I see a chair that I'm assuming a parking attendant sits in, but it's 5:25 am and there are three cars in the lot and no one around. I'm standing outside of Royal Kitchen at 5:27 and I'm looking at the back counter and I see no signs of boxes let alone 5 dozen . . . time is ticking away, food is being moved from the kitchen to the line. . . I see the head worker start packing a box of manapua with pork hash (clearly not our order). It's now 5:34 and I'm just about to knock on the window when the lady grabs the key off the bulletin board and unlocks the door. Being the assertive (pushy) person that I am, I announce that I'm here to pick up 5 dozen pre-paid manapua (the menu calls it "buns") and I need to get to the airport by 6 a.m. The head worker abandons the mixed box she's packing and starts scrambling, the other lady who unlocked the door comes over to help. The head lady mumbles something about the manapua just being ready (which is true because trays of cha siu (pork) manapua were coming from the kitchen). The boxes are ready to go in no time and I notice one single baked manapua on the counter, the head lady mentions it's for me. . . Not sure if this is a courtesy when you buy five dozen or when you're assertive (pushy). While waiting for my order here are my noticings (all prices including tax): - Buns (baked manapua) $1.57 each - Dim Sum (pork hash or half moon) $.79 - 1 dozen buns $18.85 - 1 dozen buns + 1 dozen pork hash $28.27 - 1 dozen buns + 1 dozen pork hash + 1 dozen half moon $37.70 - Pupu platter $60.50 1 pound Cha Siu (pork), 1 pound roast pork, 1 roast duck, 1 roast chicken, 12 crispy gau gee - Chinese Chicken Salad $7 (individual) $28 (party tray) I'm always looking for quick easy pot luck items that can be picked up early in the morning and may be back to check it out but, Char Hung Sut's steamed manapua is a thousand times better than Royal Kitchen's baked manapua. *P.S. EMI- I saw a tranny on my way to pick up the order and recalled your review. LOL!!!! read more

It was our last day in Oahu and we wanted to try out some of the popular roast pork buns in Chinatown before we departed for Kauai. Royal Kitchen was our first stop! There is a parking lot at the Chinatown Cultural Plaza where the business is situated and parking is free for the first 20 or 30 min with a validated receipt. Although there was a line at Royal Kitchen, we made it out in time for free parking :). A mother and daughter duo was nice enough to instruct us lost tourists on how the ordering process works at RK. Frankly, I didn't find it too efficient. We got our ticket and waited about 10 minutes to be called. In the meantime, we stood there admiring all the freshly baked buns and hot selections. The staff didn't appear too friendly, but they were definitely very fast paced. We ordered a baked roast pork bun, pork hash, half moons and a chow fun. I wasn't a fan of the pork hash or half moons as I found them to be a bit on the bland side, but the bun was delicious! It was so airy and fluffy yet tightly packed with flossy shreds of roast pork. The chow fun was also very flavorful and mixed with much needed vegetables. Regrettably, we only ordered 1 roast pork bun to share. It was so good I wish we had ordered more to go! So my advice for big bun fans: try as many variety of buns as possible and order extra for the next morning! read more

Free parking for 30mins. We ordered half a dozen of pork hash and 2 cha siu manapua. They are both delicious. The pork hash was hot and juicy and the buns are soft and warm as well. Line was not that long when we came. I won't say it's the best dim sum I've had but pretty good as a snack. Stop by after you land or if you are on the way to the airport! read more

Royal Kitchen - Pork Hash Baked Cha Siu Bun - Dim Sum Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Again on customer service. I went there and was helped by this older lady between 55 and 70. I asked if they had steamed Manapua and she gave me the sassiest face and said smugly, we only sell baked manapua. I let that go! Maybe she was having a bad day. I then proceeded with my order. I asked for a dozen pork hash, and again she was being nasty as heck. My wife knew that I was mad at her unacceptable behavior. I asked my wife to finish the order before I went off on her. I walked out. I could see from where I was standing that she knew she pissed me off, so she was extra nice to my wife. My wife also knew that she changed her nasty attitude because she knew I was mad. The manapua here is not the same as before. It is like a flat tire. Like no rise to the dough like it once had. It's so not appetizing by the look. The pork hash has no love in it neither. All it is is pork with the simple wrap. No shrimp or mushroom or any added ingredients that would make it stand out. Oily and bland is the best description. Half moon also was a disappointment. Kinda sour tasting. This was the last time that I need to come here for overpriced and subpar food with nasty and rude customer service. The manapua here is worth .50 cents like the olden days if even that. Save your money and buy from a manapua truck. I must say that they are very consistent: terrible food that matches their terrible customer service. read more

Manapua me! This one was pretty decent. I'd say about middle-of-the-pack compared to the other places we visited despite the glowing reviews. I wouldn't go out of my way for Royal Kitchen. I mean we did, but we wouldn't do it again. read more

This is my folks' go-to place manapua...except since they no longer drive, I'm their go-to girl for picking it up for them. Unlike most places in Chinatown, there's a parking structure really convenient to Royal Kitchen, and it's FREE with validation! Parking is located on the edge of Chinatown, right next to Mun Lum Chinese School. While our standard order is a dozen baked char siu manapua, they have a bunch of other varieties, plus pork hash, pepeiao, rice cake and several types of prepared Chinese dishes available. We even got pickled pigs feet to go there. The store is almost always busy, so take a number--they'll get to you quickly. Don't forget to hand over your parking ticket to be stamped. read more

My boyfriend was craving Pork Hash one morning and I had no idea what he was talking about. He took me to a very small shop where they serve pork hash (like shumai but better in my opinion) and baked manapuas. We ordered a dozen pork hash, a couple rice cakes, two hot dogs, three cha siu (pork), and two kalua pork. YUM! Everything here was so good and you could tell that they've been in business for a while so they know what they're doing. There was a bit of a wait to order, but after tasting their food, I completely forgot about the wait time. There isn't any space inside to eat so I recommend getting your food to-go. Honestly, we couldn't wait until we got home so we started eating everything in the car. I definitely recommend this place and hopefully will be back soon! read more

Got home from work last night. My son wanted to take popsicles for a pool party which I said it won't stay cold in a cooler. Got up this morning and thought about ordering Manapuas. Called about 6:00am and asked if I could get 50 manapuas. They said they have it. I was there in less than 15 minutes with no line just one customer ahead of me. Paid and was out before 15 minutes. Parking is free under 15 minutes. Got home couldn't stand it we ain't from one of the boxes. They also remind you to keep it in a cool place. Take the box out of the bag. They also said it won't last more than 2-4 hours max. Anyways great service. If you decide go there early you won't be disappointed. read more

They're cha siu, chicken, chicken curry, lup cheon, Portuguese sausage, kalua pork, coconut, vegetarian, black sugar, Okinawan sweet potato and hotdog!! I also love their dim sum.

Royal Kitchen has always been in my family's vocabulary since small kid times. It's where I come to when I am craving stuffed bittermelon or sweet sour pig's feet or a really delicious bean curd stir fry. And, it's where I bring my out of town friends when they want to "experience" an authentic local Chinese manapua place. This place, conveniently located in the back portion of the Chinese Cultural Plaza has two parking lots available for a partial validation. The closest one is accessed off of North Kukui Street. The other lot is the Cultural Plaza lot accessed off of Maunakea Street. The most popular items @ this old time Chinese takeout place is their baked manapua, filled buns with sweet or savory filling...and what a selection they have! This delectable treat is also known as harm bao, char siu bao, buns...call it what you like, all I know is that they are delicious and my #2 go to place for these things. Still what keeps me coming back is the yummy and reasonable lunch plate selections..! read more

I've been coming here since I was a little child. I used to attend Mun Lun Chinese Language School on Maunakea St. So when regular school got out at about 2:15pm, it gave me a little over an hour to get to Mun Lun, which started at 3:30pm. Many times I had ample time so when I was hungry and had some money, I'd stop by here for a snack. Raised by parents who hail from Hong Kong, I was used to eating the more "traditional" baked BAO and Royal Kitchen has a local flair to it. The dough is also on the sweet side but the fillings vary. Chinese lup cheong sausage, kalua pig, curry chicken......YUMMY!!! As you walk into this establishment, it's advised to first grab a number as this place is usually busy. You have some time to check out the goodies to decide what to order. I usually only get the baked BAO as I don't really care for the other food. I used to eat their chow fun and fried noodles but no longer care for them. When I visit Kuan Yin Temple and need to run an errand in Chinatown, I always pass by Royal Kitchen and many times see a food tour guide escorting tourists here. Pretty cool to see people interested in good local cuisine. I would give this place 4-stars but I am not fond of some of the staff who work here. They are pretty much middle-aged Chinese ladies with a thick accent who are very direct. I can read facial expressions well and it bothers me when they look disgusted. It happened again to me today but didn't let it get the best of me. I just got my BAO, paid for it, checked my change and walked out. Poor customer service here. For that, this place is only worthy of 3-stars from me. read more

Royal Kitchen - curry chicken manapua!!! - Dim Sum Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Yelp Challenge 365 #60/365 First home of the "baked manapua". First home of the varietal stuffings for the manapua.... Manapua: Char siu, chicken, veggie, lup cheong, curr chicken, portugese sausage and the list goes on. Pork hash: not bad at all. Good in size, taste and texture. Other dim sum varieties available too! Plate lunches: $6.10 for a 2 choice plate lunch which comes with a heeping serving of either chow mein or chow fun.. Whole roast duck and chicken available for purchase too. Plus whole chunks of char siu (sweet roast pork) and regular roast pork both sold by the pound. If you are taking this great food as gifts place your order in advance. They will pack after the manapua has cooled off. I take a box of manapua and another box of assorted dim sum to the mainland.... especially if I am going where there is no china town :( You can park in the lot; they will validate your ticket. I tried parking on the street once and I guess I was in the wrong spot and got a parking ticket; that's what I get for being lazy I guess. Street parking was a shorter walk than going to the parking lot .... Shame on me! BUT, it was worth it I guess for the food I got! read more
