Been on my to-try list for a while. I'd avoid the weekends as it's been busy during those times we were in the area. Went on a weekday and it was still busy. Waited about 15 mins for a table. Salted egg chicken wings = yes! Arrived piping hot and good portion of salted egg to wing. Hubs enjoyed the sizzling beef. Big portion of fries, although the masala curry flavor was light. Baked spaghetti was also good but there's a flavor to it that I couldn't place - maybe 5 spice? Only 2 waitstaff when we were there and they're busy running around - may take a minute to get their attention. read more

My first time here and definitely not my last. One of the best food I've ever had. Started off with our HK milk teas (hot and cold) and our foods arrived fast. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. Our total bill before tip was around $120 and with the 4 of us it came out to $30 per person before tip, pretty reasonable. Restaurant atmosphere was great. Our server was awesome. Free parking either in front or behind Market City Shopping Center. Parking does fill up fast. read more

Personally my experience here wasn't the best. Came here around 7pm on a Friday night. Knew the wait was going to be long but there was only 5-6 parties ahead of me so I waited. About an hour past but there was about 4-5 parties ahead. So I decided to order to go but that took another hour even though it estimated order pick up would be 30 minutes. I only ordered one thing, the Singapore crab. Be prepared to wait, it's best to come early if you really want to try this place or try calling to book a reservation (not sure if they take reservations). Eventually got my order at 9PM which is closing time... Overall the crab was great but I would plan ahead if I want to get this again. read more

I know this restaurant has been reviewed by SO MANY YEEPS, but it's always helpful to have multiple perspectives from trusted yelites! Especially if you follow me and know what kind of foods I typically like. If I was strictly reviewing the food and flavors it would be 5 stars. Docked a star since service was not the best. Granted, it was the busy holiday season, and raining heavy, but that should be anticipated especially with reservations with the assumed ability to have more servers that day. Also, parking was horrendous during the holiday season as expected, so make sure you allot time for that, which I did. I was so happy to finally try this restaurant-it had been on my list for a while. We tried a whole bunch of dishes-the signature curry crab (truly a standout dish w/ the naan bread), cute bear ice milk tea, salt and pepper shrimp, salt and pepper chicken, fried rice, chow funn, bitter melon (I don't like bittermelon but my family enjoyed it). I was a bit disappointed in the service when we were waiting quite some time for our food and the timing of delivery was quite off. They thanked us for waiting and expected us to be impressed with the crab (which we were) but failed to provide crab crackers. I went up to ask for some and I got scolded to return to my table and that they'd bring them to us. They only brought 2 crab crackers when there were 3 of us making a mess eating the crab. It would also be nice to have a bowl of lemon water or wet hand wipes to clean our hands with after handling the crab. They do have a restroom within the restaurant where you can wash your hands (but be prepared to wait in line). Would I return? Yes. I would probably avoid dining there during any major holiday season. P.S. They announce specials on their ig and sometimes have coupons in Midweek (I suppose that makes me from the dinosaur-age that I'm aware of this!). read more

OMG! Honolulu Executive Association members celebrated Chinese New Years at this restaurant. Garlic shrimp was out of this world! We threw rice in the sauce afterwards and had added extra flavor with other dishes. So, yummy!!! Of course Honey Walnut Shrimp is an island favorite and have no shame in attacking this...yummy. Fried fish came next, was well seasoned and delicious. Two crab dishes: Black bean...succulent...tasty and finger licking good! Curry crab seems a favorite for this restaurant comes with hot pita bread... I love curry and the way I like it! The gravy went over rice too... This is a must to order. Sizzling meat-vegetables was great and bursting with its own multi flavors because of onions, two different bell peppers... Cold Chicken version, different but still flavorful. Fried pork...centered meat and fatty on outside. Lightly floured. I would like it more crispy... I think we had one more dish? Service was excellent...2-3 people servicing us, had water and tea refills awesome! The ambiance was somewhat loud because we took over 3/4 of restaurant. Customers knew they had a big party and was okay because the food was worth it!!! Ciao! read more

So delicious! Came here recently and there is always a line! You should call and make a reservation, but their line goes down quickly. Food came out within 5 minutes of ordering hot! We got the milk tea, Hong Kong styled fried rice, garlic shrimp, and sizzling beef. The only down side is that the sizzling beef was 80% onions and bell peppers and not much beef. The sauce is so delicious though! Interior of the restaurant is very clean and modern. Servers are nice and not like your typical Chinese restaurant. Definitely coming back! read more

It was okay. I think way overhyped. It's cool concept for sure for the crab. The crab was steamed so it didn't have any other flavor unless you ate it with the curry. Staff wasn't friendly and helpful. Parking kinda sucked but it is what it is for that spot. read more

First time trying Chinese on the islands during a visit and I wasn't disappointed though I wasn't blown away. The food wasn't good but I didn't feel that it lived up to the hype it had online. The honey walnut shrimp, for example, was good and I liked the creativity liberty to serve it with kettle cooked potato chips but it didn't stand out to me flavor wise. I originally came to try the curry crab but was a bit off put by the price. It'll be something I try at a different time though. read more

The curry crab is soooo good! I realized when I visited that dungeonous crab really is my favorite kid of crab. Hoenstly, after coming here, I haven't stopped thinking about this meal. I need to go back ASAP! Highly recommend reservations, especially on weekend nights. It gets pretty busy. Get the crab and a side of white rice. It can feed 2-4 people (depending how hungry you are) and remember to scrape the good stuff out of the head. We had four people and ordered the curry crab, fried rice, and a side of white rice. It filled us all up! The tea with the bears in them were SO cute! We all got them too. They were all sweetened perfectly. Highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Great food! One of our favorite eats of our trip. We wished we were more hungry and could try more! Came by on a week night around 7 and there was a 30 minute wait with about 2 parties in front of us. Our party of 4 ordered: - 2 hk lemon iced teas with the bear - the bear was still there the next day - baked spaghetti - curry beef stew - salted egg yolk fried chicken All of the food was so good. We saw a couple order a bunch of food including the crab. Everything looked so delicious! Can't recommend this Hong Kong cafe enough. read more

We got quite lucky when we walked in and were seated immediately, whereas the people right after us had to wait. Lesson of that day: don't hesitate. (Carpe diem!) We ordered the Thai Style Pork Cheek, Szechun spicy J.J Chicken Pot, Baked Pork Chop w/ Tomato Sauce & Cheese on Rice, Shrimp WonTon Egg Noodle in Soup, Singapore Rice Noodles, HK Style Milk Tea (COLD), and HK Style Iced Lemon Tea w/Frozen Bear. Everything was quite solid. I have grown up on Costco's shrimp wonton soup, so shrimp wonton soup is not so unusual for me that I would be compelled to ordering it at a restaurant, but I was pleased with how tasty the shrimp wonton egg noodle soup was. I was missing Hong Kong and thus wanted to try the baked pork chop with tomato sauce and cheese as a nod to my past adventures (and to honor the fact that I had the baked pork chop with tomato sauce so infrequently due to its ubiquity in Hong Kong-- yet another meditation on taking things for granted). To hammer this sense of nostalgia home, the sound of Cantonese in the restaurant (which is not uncommon in Honolulu) also brought me back to Hong Kong. I would return to Yi Xin Cafe to try more of the menu. read more

Located in Market City shopping center on the same side as Gina's and Cafe Kaila, Yi Xin Cafe is a restaurant with many different Chinese dishes. There is parking out front and around the shopping center. The inside of the restaurant feels clean and spacious. The inside had some art on the walls with wood chairs and tables, and hanging lights. We ordered takeout and it was ready promptly! We decided to order the baked meat sauce with spaghetti, beef chow fun, Singaporean rice noodles, and a beef omelet. The spaghetti was a bit sweet, which was a surprise. While I prefer more savory spaghetti, it was nice to try something different. The beef chow fun and the rice noodles were both solid as well. The beef omelet was SO good! It was tasty all around from the omelet to the beef to the rice. The prices of everything did not feel cheap but the portions were quite decent. We will be back, especially for the beef omelet! read more

Ever since I had Yi Xin, I think about the curry crab every single day. The curry crab was perfectly cooked, creamy and is so good on a hot bed of white rice. We also got the salted egg wings which was so crispy, the garlic ong choy was perfectly cooked, and the salt and pepper shrimp was also cooked perfectly. I still think about this meal everyday!!! Highly recommend when you go to Hawaii! They also had different types of sauces for their crabs and im sure they are also very delicious. Will for sure be one of my top spots if I go back to Hawaii! Expect wait times from 30 mins to hours because it's a small Cafe but people really wait for seats because food is delicious. read more

Yi Xin serves HK style chinese food. We came solely for their chili crab. It had a tomato taste to it which wasn't what I expected, but it was still good. The sauce had a slight kick and was so good on rice! We also ordered the garlic shrimp (quality of shrimp 2.5/5), beef chow fun (3/5), salted fish and chicken fried rice (3.5/5), and choy with shrimp paste (3.5/5). Food came out quick. Lucky for us, we were seated right away, but there was a line when we left. Overall, food was ok! read more

Came here for dinner and had the salt and pepper pork chop and the walnut shrimp. The food was good, but not great. Wanted to try their famous curry crab, but it was $79 for a medium crab with no rice, which is extremely expensive as Dungeness crab sells for about $20 a pound and many of these crabs were about a pound and a half. I could see the size of the crabs, as we sat right next to the tank, and I was shocked at the prices they are charging for crab and some of the other items. read more

This place serves delicious food with great service! Tons of parking and many choices on the menu means there's something for everyone. We went with a non strict vegan and a muslim who doesn't eat pork and there was plenty of options. The Thai chicken basil sizzling pot with eggplant was a group favorite. Their chicken was so tender and the sauce was so delicious. Their eggplant were tender and perfectly cooked. The honey walnut shrimp were so good we got a second round! The sauce and crunch were on point and they're served with potato chips and candy walnuts for a fun twist. The eggplant and long beans were good but I wouldn't order it again if getting the chicken and eggplant dish. The Malaysian beef fried rice was another crowd favorite and a good portion. I loved the beef chow mein. It had a smokey flavor and the noodles had the perfect bounce. The curry dusted French fries were crispy with a hint of curry and another crowd favorite (also where else can you find this?!). The weird thing was the Chinese broccoli with "bean curd" did not have bean curd (if you're thinking of the thin yellow strips). We asked them if we got the right dish and they said it's in there. Check out the photo and lmk what you think. Is the white sauce bean curd? read more

My friend and I stopped by Yi Xin Cafe on Tuesday, 11/11/25, at 10:38 a.m.--right when they opened. I've been seeing their adorable bear teas and Signature Curry Crab all over my social media, so I've been eager to try it for myself. Today was my lucky day! When we walked in, there were already a few families dining or placing their orders. We were seated promptly by our friendly host. We were given our menus and were ready to order. We also asked for separate checks. Our host readily accommodated us with our request with a smile. Of course, we both got their ever so popular cute Milk Teas with the fabulous Bear Ice in a glass jar mug. We took photos with it as we waited for our meals. My friend and I decided to order their rice plates. My friend ordered the Beef with Black Bean. It came to the table sizzling hot. She enjoyed the savoriness of the black bean sauce enveloping the beef as well as the crunchiness of the peppers and onions. My order came a bit after hers. I got their award winning curry. The sauce had a wonderful rich and savory depth with just the right consistency--smooth without being watery or heavy. Though mild in spice, the flavors blended perfectly, infusing into the shrimp and tender potatoes. Our friendly host and hostess mentioned that the restaurant uses the same curry base for their Signature Crab Curry, as well as their award-winning Beef Stew Curry, Beef Curry, and Chicken Curry. I'm excited to come back and try their famous Signature Crab Curry next time! We had a wonderful time at this charming restaurant. The service was excellent, the décor was fun and whimsical, and the rice dishes were outstanding. We'll definitely be back to Yi Xin Cafe soon. read more

I had been looking forward to eating at Yi Xi Cafe my entire trip because I kept hearing about their Singapore chili crab and salted egg yolk dishes. Unfortunately, it was one of the biggest disappointments of my vacation. The Singapore crab completely missed the mark. Instead of the rich, savory, slightly sweet and spicy flavor I was expecting, it tasted like it was covered in plain tomato sauce with very little seasoning. There was no depth or authentic flavor at all. The salted egg yolk wings were just as disappointing. They were incredibly bland and lacked the rich, buttery, savory salted egg flavor that makes this dish so popular. I honestly don't understand why these are recommended as signature dishes. I came in with high expectations based on the reviews, but left wondering why anyone would recommend such bland, overly saucy food. There are far better places to experience authentic Singapore-style flavors. Worst meal of our trip. read more

Signature here is the Dungeness crab. Today had the curry crab, dry string beans, and beef and bitter melon. All pretty flavorful, fresh, and good flavor. Service is very friendly and food comes out pretty fast. For the crab they gave us the crab crackers, gloves, and wet wipes so was pretty easy to eat. Place is very easy to miss from the outside, but interior is surprisingly spacious, and air condition was on stronger side, which is great on those warm summer days. Parking at this complex is plentiful. Come for the crab, you'll enjoy it! read more

The good, the bad and the ugly....let me explain. Yi Xin Cafe is located at the Market City Shopping Center and is tucked away in a small corner of the complex. Parking can be pretty tight here as the spaces are somewhat small. The restaurant is mid sized, but they sat a couple of 8 toppers in there comfortably. Let's start on the good! One of the best chinese food we've eaten in a while. Everything we tried had great tase. Not overly salty and freshly made! Sizzling beef with black bean sauce was so good with great flavor. Beef chowfun was huge and enough for a table of four. It also had great flavor and a good amount of beef to noodle ratio. The honey walnut shrimp was the winner. Lot's of shrimp and they added potato chips, which we found odd, but it all worked together with the saltiness of the chips and sweetness of the honey sauce on the shrimp. Waiters we fast and friendly and never missed out on filling our drinks! Now the bad. Wait times! Like most busy restaurants prepare to wait! We didn't get seated till over an hour. Yes the restaurant was full, but the Waitlist app wasn't working and we just did a walk in. Was told 20 minutes, but we waited well over an hour. Okay so here's the UGLY. It's super busy and there were people already ahead of us waiting to be seated. But, apparently, if you know "someone" you can get a fast pass and skip the wait. There were at least 3 parties, with 6-8 people that arrived and got seated within 5 minutes. You know they didn't have reservations since a few showed up after we got there and waited just like we did. Someone arrives, walks inside and comes out laughing and the party gets seated. One guy even bragged and said out loud, "don't worry i talked to the manager" and just smirked. Kind of unfair if you ask me. Well at least the food was great. Hopefully, the waitlist app works next time we come. I really want to try the crab! read more

Found this cafe bc Bretman Rock recommended, and this was probably one of my favorite food stops during our Hawaii trip! I didn't expect it to get so busy, so I read through some reviews in case and it indeed does get very busy unless you come in early. I called in advance to make sure they take walk-ins, but by the time we came quickly, they told us that they were all booked with reservations... Luckily for us, there was a party running late or just didn't show up for their reservation, so we took their spot, yay! Compared to the HK cafes in LA, this one is definitely a lot more pricier, but the food quality was really good! We ordered their famous Curry Crab with Naan Bread, Salted Egg Chicken Wings, Eggplant dish, and hou fun. The curry crab was YUMMMMMM, and the naan bread with it was soooo good. The curry does get salty so it's best to eat it with rice to get that balance. The crab is a bit of a hassle to eat since you have to crack it on your own, but it was delicious. It does get very messy... The rest of the entree items were really good! My bf really enjoyed the salted egg chicken wings, a nice crisp to it and not overly flavored with salted egg. We also ordered some lemon iced teas and milk teas with the bear on it! The bear is essentially just an ice form of your drink, so it is cute for the appeal, but just get the normal version if you don't care too much for it haha. I feel like the drinks were also a bit watered down, the hk milk tea could have been stronger, it was just a sweet light milk tea. Anyways, i'm so glad I found this on TikTok, it was a family favorite! Make sure to get reservations in advance. It's a fairly small restaurant, so I could imagine how wait times can get really long when it gets busy! read more

We came for lunch on a weekday and it was ok crowded. Pretty much all tables were seated but we got seated right away as well. Noticing pretty every table ordered crabs, we followed suit and it was the right move. The crab Hong Kong style was fresh and perfectly cooked. Other dishes we enjoyed were pork jowl (neck) which was tender and cooked just right. Salted egg chicken wings were also a must here! Their noodles and rice dishes are also delicious.

Our first time dining at Yi Xin Café, and we were so impressed! The food was amazing, the prices were great, the portions were huge and the service from the staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. No wonder this place is always busy. The process is simple: you sign in with your name and party size, wait outside until they call you and then get seated. Everything runs very smoothly. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. We ordered the shrimp garlic fried rice, Thai-style BBQ pork cheek, stir-fried ong choi (morning glory) with shrimp paste and an HK iced milk tea topped with the cutest teddy bear ice. We loved every bite The ambience is cozy and inviting, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be coming back! read more

I used to go here all the time and I loved their food but their portion sizes have gotten smaller. They have very cute bear drinks but be careful as the caffeine keeps you up all night.

It was sprinkling a little bit when we came for dinner, but the outside waiting area has stools and is covered! This cafe was busy! We sat down and instantly ordered our food because we thought food would take long to come out. It was actually the opposite, we ordered and the food came out super quickly! The drinks, on the other hand, took a longer time. What we ordered: * salted egg yolk chicken wings * curry crab * curry beef stew * beef chow fun * singaporean noodles * ong choi * salted fish fried rice The salted egg yolk chicken wings were a great appetizer. The salted egg yolk flavor really came through and it was perfectly crispy! It wasn't overcome with the batter flavor and was still light. Next up is what we really came for - the curry crab. My picky mother LOVED the flavor of the crab and even complimented it! I also enjoyed the crab, the naan paired well with it. I will say the crab meat was harder to remove vs other crabs I've had. The crab meat constantly stuck to the shell, so it was difficult to get a clean piece of meat. We loved the curry beef stew because all the beef pieces soaked up with rich curry and weren't too chewy! Ong choi was also done really well :) The noodle dishes, beef chow fun and singaporean noodles, were excellent flavor wise. Even my parents praised these dishes. The only qualm was the sizing of the dishes, definitely on the smaller side. The salted fish fried rice wasn't outstanding and isn't a dish we would order in the future. You can taste some of the salted fish, but felt like it was missing something compared to other ones we usually get. Overall, I would give this a 4.5/5! read more

Best restaurant to get sauteed crabs besides Singapore :) Ingredients are fresh, seasoning is on point and not too salty, which I like a lot. Kids love the milk tea that has a bear. Servers are friendly and tentative. I love the sauteed crabs and grilled pork cheek the most. The chicken wings are so-so, not so much flavor or taste. The space is small and more like family-style. However, decorations are lovely. read more

The food was awesome. Just about every table had their famous crab dish. The crabs are live so it is super fresh. It was only 2 of us so we opted to order the eggplant and green beans. The eggplant was tasty. The green beans were regular beans not the Asian long beans as advertised but still very good. Not over cooked at all. The sizzling beef stir fry was awesome. It came sizzling to the table. A nice presentation. We rounded out the meal with Malaysian fried rice. It was good and the serving size was nice. What I appreciated was none of the vegetables were over cooked. When I arrived I saw a lot of people going into the restaurant and was afraid we wouldn't get a seat. They found a seat for us. Definitely worth coming back. Also the prices were very reasonable. read more

Came here and waited about 30 minutes, but we got lucky and snagged the last table. Servers were friendly and inside is kind of small but long. Came with some friends and we went in on the curry crab (about $80). Honestly, it's one of the best crabs I've ever had. The curry was so good on rice, and the crab came kind of pre-cracked which made it super easy to eat. There was a ton of crab meat, everything tasted great, and it even came with a couple pieces of naan to scoop up the sauce. We also ordered the black bean clams -- the clams were huge and really flavorful. That said, it was a bit pricey for the amount you get. For veggies, the ong choy with sambal was a must. Super flavorful with a little kick. We also tried the mapo tofu and I didn't care for it as much. Cantonese-style mapo tofu runs a little sweeter, so it wasn't spicy at all, but it did pair well with rice. If you're coming here, the curry crab is the move. Worth the wait. Get any of the seafood; they are known for their seafood. read more

*Updated review* Don't miss out this restaurant in town. Friendly staffs, everything cook with fresh ingredients. Very clean restaurant. Since my last dining experience with friends, I took my parents to Yi Xin for lunch and they loved it so much. The most impressed dish was the Salted Fish Chicken Eggplant in clay pot. Omg! The best on Oahu. It tasted exactly like HK, I can say probably better than the one in HK. It's very flavorful and delicious. I can eat that with 2 bowls of rice. MUST TRY! Beef Chow Fun and the Capital Pork Chop were so delicious as well. Full of "Wok Hee". I will come more often. read more

This is a really busy cafe, so I highly recommend you make reservations if you want to dine here. You can't make reservations online so it's best to call the cafe directly. We were initially told that it would be a 40 minute wait for 2 people, but surprisingly, we only waited a couple of minutes; 5 minutes max. It took a little longer for someone to take our order, but it was expected because there was a constant line of people dining in or doing take out. However, our server was really nice and patient as we ordered a variety of dishes. We ended up getting one teddy bear milk tea, a regular milk tea, beef broccoli, shrimp with broccoli, shrimp fried rice, salt and pepper pork chops, sweet and sour pork, and beef chow fun. The milk tea was really delicious and the teddy bear was a cute addition; I'm sure it was also made from the tea used for the milk tea. My favorite dishes were the beef chow fun and the sweet and sour pork. My husband ordered from the remaining dishes, and said the shrimp was delicious! He was surprised that the shrimp fried rice had big (whole) shrimps in it; they weren't the typical small shrimps used by most places. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and milk tea, and will definitely be back to try other dishes and drinks. read more

This place is legit! I came with 2 friends on a Sunday morning and we were able to be sat immediately. The restaurant is pretty small and a line developed shortly after we came.

It was clean tasting, the pork was so tender, and the sauce it came with was delicious. The curry crab is truly unique. So rich in flavor. Make sure to get a couple bowls of rice on the side so that you can mix it all in to the curry at the end! read more
