Today I got to try the Hot Sweet and Sour Pork with Rice and House Soup included, which were all tasty. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.

This little hidden gem is the best! We visited this centrally located spot during our trip to Oahu. It is a mom and pop owned shop with delicious, fresh, and authentic Chinese food. Our favorites were the potstickers were so fresh and crispy (they make them homemade!) and the beef and broccoli. We went for dinner. The service was also super fast - they were super attentive so great to grab a quick bite for lunch or takeout. It is really clean inside and a very welcome environment. Highly recommend!!

The lemon chicken was 3 stars, the egg drop soup on a cold and rainy day was very nice and I’d give it 4 stars, and the quick takeout preparation and value being it to 4 stars overall. The chicken was fine but not very flavorful, decent quality chicken. The portions weren’t huge but that was fine, it was a bit more than a single serving of chicken, and a small side soup—it’s basically one meal, and it costs about what one meal should. It feels expensive, but compared to everything else on Oahu it’s a normal meal, and compared to other Chinese takeout it’s nice to have the option to not get a ton of food. I tried to order hot and sour soup without pork and they couldn’t do that, so that was one downside.

Went for an early lunch. I was the only one. The menu has a variety of dishes. The lady was friendly. She let me charge my phone. I ordered the orange chicken and rice plate. It came with hot and sour soup. The soup was great. The orange chicken was meh. The chicken itself was bite-size pieces of breast meat. The batter was nice. I thought I could taste garlic(?) on the chicken. The orange sauce didn't taste like orange, or anything really. The rice was typical white people rice, but it wasn't up to my standard. She gave me a lot of water refills. Maybe it's a decent place. I wish the potstickers weren't Japanese gyoza.

I'll leave worse score if I could. First of all the surface of the table we sat was so sticky from I don't know what. Secondly the noodles looked like the left over from yesterday and the shrimp fried rice was so dried and empty taste.
