    Delicious Chinese and Hawaiian style plates. Good portions for the price! Our #1 Chinese place on this side of the island! They do catering and food is just delicious whenever my workplace does celebrations.

    I want to come back and try more things on the menu. My first time here I ordered the Chef Special Cake Noodle Beef Broccoli, they give you a choice of Crispy cake noodle or a Bird nest cake noodle and you can select to have the gravy on the side so it doesn't get soggy for take out.

    Very friendly service. Had the fried rice shrimp and it was good. BBQ chicken is good. Maybe just lighten up on the oil on the fried rice.

    Primarily a take-out place for locals, but I always dine in. Big menu. Lots of variety. Service is always friendly. Limited drink selection. Prices are reasonable. It's a laid-back local place, and people are nice to each other. I love the place.

    I had a pleasant visit there just minutes ago. The food is delicious there with a great menu. What impressed me was the woman named Loki, who works at the front. Besides being friendly and patient, i witnessed her bring this elderly couple their food. She untied the bag, took out their food containers, opened them up for them, placed them in front of them and placed their utensils for each of them, and told them to enjoy. I haven't seen that before. Made my heart smile! We'll go back there, for sure. Ono food!!!

    On 5/6/24, I got takeout (broccoli beef, orange chicken- they’ll make it more spicy if u ask)…I’ve been here several times in the last 5 years, but this last time was the best yet! Another favorite of mine is the chicken fried rice w/extra chicken,yum! The small egg drop soup is surprisingly large- probably 2 cups easy, lots of egg- perfect. I never get around to doing reviews, but I actually called them to tell them this was the best meal yet! Also the lady in front there was very helpful and very sweet. Mahalo, No. 1 Chinese

    A good restaurant to be sure, the food was good, but not excellent tasting. First, I would say that the service is great, the employees are very kind and friendly, they patiently answered all of our questions about the large variety of plates they had to offer. We tried 3 different plates, and the serving sizes are generous. I requested a "mixed salad" instead of the mac' n cheese, and rice, which came included in my order, I'm not sure what was "mixed" about it, considering that the 3 tomato slices were laid across a bed of iceberg lettuce. The only salad dressing they had was a ranch dressing. If you like ranch, then I guess you are in luck! Their hot mustard sauce is OK, it tastes like watered down wasabi mixed with regular yellow mustard. Their fish sauce/ tartar sauce was really good on the seafood combo plate.
