Bruh, after I wen' spock my Yelp buddy - Jarrod A.'s photo of his GRINDZ from Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen, my eyes almost wen' POP OUTTA my head! Lol! Bruddah Jarrod, MAHALO fo' your AWESOME post of your GRINDZ, cuz that's what led me here at Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen! Located at a large strip mall where the KTA Super Store is located on Puainako, you can find Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen along with other eateries & cellular phone businesses. Da line was supah long when I arrived for lunch today (das one good sign), but when I finally made it into the restaurant, I could see so many ono choices. Upon looking over da hot food items, I decided to get da two item plate with choice of starch. I got the following - Lemon Chicken, Beef Broccoli *I don't eat beef, but ate all the veggies*, 1/2 Fried Rice & 1/2 Chow Mein Noodles. What can I say about da grub? Ono kine comfort food at it's BESTEST!!! Loved da Lemon Chicken, nice & crispy with a great lemon sauce. I even put some of dat sauce on my fried rice! Buggah was ono! I liked the veggies with da beef broccoli, and it was the perfect side with all my starch. I saw a sign that said Chow Fun is sometimes available, but unfortunately when I stopped by today, I did not see any chow fun. Easy access to Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen because it's situated in a large strip mall with plenty of free parking. No inside dining, as Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen is strictly "take-out, grab & go". If ya wanna eat right away, no worry beef curry, get plenty covered picnic tables located just outside of da business! Jonesing for local kine Chinese comfort food?

My wife brought home a 'take-out' box and the Roast Pork was perfect. Crispy skin, and a meaty pork. The spicy egg plant was also delicious. read more

Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen - Front door - Chinese Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Favorite Chinese food place. Pork eggplant, duck, and roast pork are always my go to.

I was driving through Hilo, HI and wanted to find a bite to eat. We stumbled upon Sum Leung and the plate lunch was perfect! The line out of the door at 11AM told me that I was at the right place. I wanted the three choice plate lunch, but after picking two sides, it was impossible to add a third. The portion sizes are huge and plentiful for two adults. I ate right outside of the store and enjoyed a great lunch! read more

I got the veggie cake noodle. While the sauce was ok, the noodles were way too hard to eat. Very oily too!

Review #21 for 2020. I was craving manapua and saw that Sum Leung makes their own. Called ahead to order half a dozen for my cousin's birthday and for my family to eat. Ordered some char siu as well. The manapua was super soft. I usually prefer baked manapua, but cannot find in Hilo, and this steamed one was super ono! The char siu was super good too. Gotta love the burnt ends. Any way, Sum Leung is now my go-to place for steamed manapua in Hilo! This place is located next to KTA Puainako and Hiro's. Lots of parking. It's counter style and pretty inexpensive overall. Happy to support a local business! read more

Had a line out the door so figured it was good so we jumped in to try. Buffet service style. Mistake. Out of the staples usually found in Chinese food. Chow Mien noodles were so dry they were inedible. Vegetables over cooked. Clerk could care less 'we paid already'. Got two stars because the duck was decent. read more

Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen - Dry noodles - Chinese Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

This was my first stop after my recovery from jet lag! And whatever you do don't blink or you'll miss this opportunity of a taste buds time! Lol! Manapua was fresh and hot! Fried rice and chow fun.....delicious! Pork tofu, Kau yuk, roast pork all done to perfection! This is what I miss when I'm away from home and these are the flavors I yearn for through my journeys abroad! read more

I'm giving four stars for the quantity and value. Crazy big plate of food. They pile it on! And prices are very fair. One of the customers in line suggested the beef broccoli and the char siu. But I was in the mood for the spicey egg plant and the sweet sour pork. Spicey eggplant was not bad but the sweet sour pork really could have used bigger pieces of pork (all of mine were really small pieces) and very few of them. Mostly pineapple and bell pepper. I should have listened to the advice I got! LOL! The chow mein was good but the fried rice (?) was meh. But I'd definitely go back and give it another try. By the way, for "regular" eaters, you can share a plate with someone else and probably still have leftovers!!! read more

There's a reason why there's always a line at Sum Leung. They offer tasty take out food, in generous portions and at valued pricing. It's not fancy, but it's good read more

This has to be one of the best roast pork I have ever tasted. BBQ pork is also really good. Of course there are many other items that are good too. There is always a line out the door. read more

Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen - Roast pork - Chinese Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Grew up on O'ahu where most Chinese restaurants serve Cantonese. Sun Leung prepares Cantonese -- ono! their cake noodles & my husband's regular order is "double" pork tofu. Only Chinese restaurant I go to in Hilo. read more

I really like this place. The staff is really nice & servings are humongous! I just had a plate with half rice & half noodles for the starch, bok choi with chicken & beef broccoli. Fresh & tasty. Lots of vege. I've also had wor mein that they bring to you. It's super yummy. It's totally for locals. Haole would not get it. I read a review that said the rice was bland. Ha! Plain rice balances the fat & salt of the other dishes. read more

More food than a normal appetite could consume! I love this place. Conveniently located in the Puainako shopping center next to KTA in Hilo. The owner ,or rather owners son Tim, made this plate of fresh crispy cake noodle for me in the back. Fresh broccoli carrots onions shrimp and beef with crispy cake noodles and then he brought out some hot sauce for me to try And a hot banana Lumpia for desert. The whole thing cost me $10 which was a steal at today's plate lunch prices. I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant when you come to Hilo you will go away full and happy.It's nothing fancy but they do have indoor as well as outdoor seating and the service is prompt and professional. The kitchen is clean and the food is fresh and hot. I give this take out or eat in Chinese restaurant four and a half stars. read more

Coming back from Volcano National Park stopped at Hilo for late lunch . First stop at Hiro's place since they supposedly serve Hawaiian as well as Filipino and Japanese food. Was no to crazy with the selection so I started to leave and I saw Sum Leung. Food is very flavorful and the employees are very nice. They let you sample the food as well as gave a great expianation. I got the pork with squash as well as pork adobo. Was not able to finish the food. Very generous helping. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Hilo. read more

Never knew Hawaii's Chinese food was different from the mainland till I left for college and ordered lemon chicken for the first time. Hawaii style is a super crispy and light cornstarch batter, similar to katsu with a pretty thin lemon sauce. Everywhere else seems to be thick almost pancake batter w a nasty looking goopy lemon sauce - usually it's their sweet and sour chicken w different sauce. Cake noodle as we know it also seems to be a regional thing. There's one Hawaii style Chinese place in Vegas with really good gau gee mein cake noodle but their lemon chicken is nothing compared to leungs. Plate lunch at leungs is always one of my first stops in Hilo. All the food is good, but I've always been obsessed w their lemon chicken. Unfortunately their manapua and pork hash isn't nearly as good as it used to be. Ever since 711 switched to this different crappy brand a few years ago ive been looking for another good manapua place - any suggestions would be appreciated. read more

Food is almost always a hit. Outstanding taste and flavor. Side note: get the cascaron and banana lumpia when available.

Food is delicious and portions generous. My family's favorites are fried rice, baby corn, beef broccoli, lemon chicken.

Food is so tasty! And very quick even if you're ordering off the menu. Large portions for a good price! Favorites: wonton mein, special cake noodles, lemon chicken read more

Fine. Never had duck before in my life tho, and their duck tastes like rotten dish water.

They need to update their website prices. Great food, but a bit startling when you order according to their website prices and end up paying a heck of a lot more when you go to pick it up. read more

Fast service and good size servings. Hot line is well stocked. Seating inside and out. Shares parking with KTA. Convenient! read more

Always love the fried rice and baby corn. This place is in and out fast service and if no more chow fun, they yell chow fun, 7 min! hahaha Overall, good food good service and thwy have rice cake too! read more

I tried the lunch plates, one choice ($7.50) and the two choice ($10.25). For these plates I tried the cold ginger chicken, roast pork, and sweet and sour spareribs. The cold ginger chicken was okay but wasn't that good. It had a layer of oil at the bottom and spilled over onto the noodles side, it was very unappetizing. The roast pork on the other side was VERY good. Sweet and sour spareribs didn't have much flavor either but for the price it was good. read more

stopped in for dinner take out and the girl behind the counter at first ignored me as she took a phone order first. As I waited for her to finish, I checked an email on my phone, when she came over and I did not notice her, so the girl said "Sir?" No Hi, or may I help you etc. I placed my order and she made it. nothing special. Ive had better service elsewhere. Food was okay. Ive had better. read more

Won ton mein. Holy smokes. My husband, who's family lives in Honomu, brought me to this place just because it happened to be close to where we were snorkeling, and he remembered liking it. It's nothing fancy to look at, located in what's basically a strip mall, but I ended up ADDICTED. We were in Hawaii for a total of 12 days, and I made him bring me back for the won ton mein no less than five times. They also have excellent manapua. I can't vouch for any of the other items, since I love the won ton mein too much to order anything else, but I can vouch for the good prices and the large portions. read more

Too much MSG and got food poisoning. This place is filthy and crawling with roaches.

Good lemon chicken, young corn and pork eggplant. Decent prices and large-enough servings.

I love this place that no one can beat it for sure. They catered my wedding back in 2010, just enough food 2 pans each of my favorites that was less then 3K. I eat there all the time and back in the day was always the spot. Only bad thing was whatever we had left over that we didn't touch which was still in the pan was spoiled the next day. read more
