Fabulous fried oysters. A hidden gem of a Chinese restaurant minutes from waikiki. Reasonable prices. Nothing fancy except really good Chinese food. HIGHLY recommend the salt fish/chix fried rice. Everythg good!

Travelers! Be sure to double-check the tip when you pay at this restaurant. There were only two of us, but they automatically added an 18% tip to the bill. If you’re not used to the U.S. tipping system, you might accidentally tip twice since they already add one on without you noticing. When we questioned it, they said it was because they only have three people working in the kitchen. I told them that may be their problem, but it’s not a good reason to force customers to pay a tip. Also, the service wasn’t great. Our food came out late. The steamed vegetables that were supposed to come with the fried rice or before the main dishes. But it didn’t arrive until after we had already finished eating. We tried to cancel it, but they said no at first, and only after the manager came did they finally cancel it.

The quality of the raw seafood ingredients I had, clams, oysters, crab, were all really great! I wish they spend more attention on the quality of the oil they use. The doneness （火侯） of the seafood were perfect. It’s a huge shame that the taste and level of quality is reduced by the lower graded quality of oil. The Peking duck skin is not crisp at all and it’s cold, I was worried that I would get sick from poor HACCP practice for the duck. Soup and fried rice were just average. If I were to ever go back would only order everything steam without any oil and maybe would be a better experience.

The capital pork and tofu dishes were good. The pig intestines were tasty, but you got to get past the smell. The lobster was on special, but was a bit disappointing. It was small and dry. There was no sauce to it. I would probably not get the lobster next time.

Awesome live seafood. Lobster is a great deal it was a good sized lobster. Amazing, especially for the price. Cooked perfectly. Live crab also delicious though much more expensive was $30 a pound. I recommend the Peppery Salt option for all seafood. Hot and sour soup was also excellent. Lots of ordering options with all the regular Chinese dishes. Fresh ingredients. We have tried 3 Chinese seafood restaurants locally this past week, Fook Yuen was the absolute best of them all. Attentive staff and excellent service. You will be glad that you tried this restaurant.
