I’m so happy to find them again. Great food and prices! My go to Wonton and beef brisket Mein is definitely worth the drive. They do offer dine in and take out.
Ordered the brisket and tendon. Also ordered beef broccoli and rice. Portions were huge. The only reason why we went to 99 ranch before they shut down was just to get food from here. The cashier who helped me was very friendly and offered to help me figure out which portion I wanted. The tendon is so good but you have to eat it with the brisket to balance it out. Will be back again for brisket and tendon for sure.
Went to pick up congee for my mom and self. Lots of meat, good flavor. Fast and friendly service. A great place to eat near the airport. Good portions.
Solid Cantonese and local food made fresh in large portions for reasonable prices. Amazing choice of dishes. Service is more than adequate, friendly, caring about their regular customers. The place is utilitarian, nothing fancy. Order and pay at the counter, they bring the dishes to you, all in takeout containers. Plenty of parking, near the airport. My wife says that it's now added to our rotation when visiting Honolulu. She and I split an order of minute chicken on soft noodles. It was a stretch for us to finish it.
Went here on recommendation from a friend. The beer chow fun and duck crispy noodle were bomb. Service was efficient and the folks are nice. Prices are reasonable for the large portions and was worth the drive (20-30 mins for us)
This is a local family run type place. Order at counter to eat in or take out. Lady taking orders was efficient, not super friendly.All food is served in Togo containers. There is one person taking orders and packing items which may be an issue for cross contamination. We order spring rolls, shrimp fried rice and Singapore noodles for $37. Portions were huge and incredibly affordable. We all enjoyed the yummy food. I have had better however the price was higher and portions were smaller. Solid lunch/dinner option. Would like to add a lady was cooking up wontons and noods that looked really good. If there wasn't a line I would have ordered then too.
A person I met recommended this place so I decided to have my late lunch/early dinner here as I was passing by. I bought ginger chicken/char siu with rice for $14.61 with tax included. To my surprise it was a lot when it came and I was barely able to finish it. The char siu and the ginger chicken were very good. The server spoke loud in both chinese and english and she was very friendly. I went there at 3 pm so there was no other dine in customers but they seemed very busy with lots of take outs. I am glad to have tried this place.
Got the fried duck and chicken w rice combo. I love soup so I also ordered the blossom egg drop soup. They were delicious. I'm definitely coming back.
