Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

My favorite go to place for fish ball fish cake look funn. Absolutely one of the best. They make their fish ball and fish cake fresh from the shop. The texture and taste is just unbeatable. The owner is always friendly and greets each customer as they walk in. Other specialty here includes Minute Chicken Cake Noodle, Beef Chow Funn and Won Ton Noodle Soup.

This is a great little noodle house. I daresay it is some of the better Chinese food places I've been to in Hawaii. The prices are decent, and the portions are large. Everything comes with some amount of green veggies, so you don't have to feel so unhealthy as you order fried noodles. It is a bit of a hole in the wall, but I like that! If you are hungry, in the area, and on a budget, this will satisfy your Chinese food needs.

Classic and authentic Chinese noodle house, slighlyt more expensive than it's next door neighbor Hong Kong Noodle House. But they have cake noodles and their specialty is their fish ball rice noodles in soup. It's best to phone in your order for take out, as this place gets packed during lunch and it's also a very small restaurant. For the cake noodles, expect to pay a tad less than $8 and for the rice noodle dishes for a more than $6. Unbelievably affordable and highly recommended.

Just OK. Really nothing special.

I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. Here's how I define my rating system: 5 Star - I will cut myself if this place closes 4 Star - Really good, you should go 3 Star - Good but forgettable 2 Star - Only in good company 1 Star - Never again "Don't you dare turn around, you pretentious prick," said the better angel of my nature as I hesitantly walked-in. And I am glad I did not. This restaurant's allure is not its appearance. It is not a gem. A gem is costly, looks pretty, is a poor investment (unless it is a very large gem), and otherwise doesn't do anything to make your life better. No sir, 'twas no gem. But it is a great place to eat and establishment to support. Chen's Noodle House can learn a lot from this place. The food is great! I had the wontons which were perfectly cooked and had meaty chunks of shrimp embedded in the ground pork. I also had their signature dish: fried chicken thighs served on a bed of crispy noodles and Chinese broccoli. The beauty was how the chicken was prepared. The thighs are cut in thin cross-section so that in every bite you get a mix of muscle, tendon, and fried skin. It was surprisingly flavorful. I also got the stir-fried "empty-heart vegetable" with bits of garlic which was also wonderful. It is amazing how people can screw this simple one up. But not here, it is perfect here. The salt and pepper shrimp was also good. Better here than on the North Shore. I think in general, if you want to eat shrimp, you should have it Chinese-style. One last thing: the tea. They have the best farging tea I have ever had at a restaurant. It seemed like an oolong tea. But it had notes of apricot/date/figs and was extremely fragrant. It's as if someone shoveled dried fruit into the tea kiln. Not like the water they call tea at Legend next door. The first brew was the best. I will remember it forever. The restaurant is very much a family business. And the owner/chef was very attentive to our needs. We apparently caught him when the restaurant was short-staffed. He was almost overly polite and eager. He put out dishes in under 2 minutes, flat. The best thing you can do is let him pick your meal.

My favorite childhood restaurant! I want them to open one in Vegas! I ate the whole bowl and drank the soup. .I definetly need to eat here again before I leave to go back home
(5)Henry W.
Braised beef and fried fish balls with look fun, aka flat white noodles, is what they are known for. However their minute cake noodle and fried chicken looks appetizing from other tables.
(4)Stacy K.
I have been coming here since I was little kid, and after over 15 years I'm still a regular! The food is absolutely delicious, but I usually stick to my all time favorite: Fish ball with fish cake look funn. Unlike other Chinese noodle places that serve fish balls (very white, gummy texture), Lee Ho Fook's fish balls are at a much fresher quality along with their fish cake. They're also known for their minute chicken cake noodles and won tons, but I still prefer the fish cake and balls. To a Chinese girl like me, this is complete comfort food but for everyone, it's gonna be the best Chinese noodle place you ever gone to. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My father introduced us to this restaurant over 15 years ago. It was a really small hole-in-the-wall that earned its reputation for its cake noodles. Mostly Chinese-speaking folks frequented the restaurant so you know, if the native language speakers go there, then it must be good! The owners are a young husband and wife who took over from, I think, the wife's parents. The husband does all of the cooking while the wife runs the front of the house. Since the young couple took over, the clientele has expanded to a more diverse patronage. As regular diners, whenever we enter, the owner knows our "usual" order but will still politely provide us with a menu. With a wave-off of the menu, we can say "we're having the same"....she'll quickly jot down our order and place the ticket into their kitchen window. Within minutes, a plate boneless chicken cake noodles for my husband and a plate of Sam See cake noodles for me arrives. Both of our cake noodle dishes have crisp fried squares of thin Hong Kong-style noodles napped with chicken or pork based gravy. The bite-sized boneless chicken is tender and flavorful with tender cooked color contrasting pieces of choy sum. My dish of Sam See cake noodles is just as flavorful that has a meat topping combination of chicken, ham and pork stomach and choy sum. There is a small crock of spicy chilie oil and a bottle of Chinese red vinegar as condiments that you can use to compliment your dishes. We've tried their equally fantastic Minute Chicken, Beef with Ong choy (water spinach), braised beef brisket, fishcake and..and..cake noodles. But, we always return to our favorites. Sure, there are many other delicious noodles in soup menu items and rice noodles but, I think it's their consistent flavorful cake noodles that has us coming back here time after time.

Great place for chinese comfort food. You can find hong kong favorites like fish balls with look fun and won ton mein. I had won ton look fun, nice and smooth and what you expect. The minute chicken was really juicy but the sauce could use a bit more seasoning. Overall great place to go to if you want some homely chinese dishes!
(4)Diamond Girl L.
good food!! i love the deep fried fish cake with lok fun. i always like to have it with bean sprouts instead of choy sum. yummy and healthy!! minute chicken is really good too if u dont mind the bones. i personally like it without. also try the hong kong style iced milk tea... taste almost like the authentic ones you can only find in hong kong.. =)
(5)Jinxiu L.
I had minute chicken cake noodle. It is THE BEST I had from several restaurants in china town or my neighborhood. And the MILK TEA is very authentic HK style. I heard the owner said she went to HK to learn how to make it and order tea package from HK. If you want the HK style milk tea, here is the place you should go. A lot of taste of tea and very very smooth. If you eat the pork liver, they make the best pork liver. Tasty and the structure of the pork liver is smooth.
(5)First Name L.
Shocked at the other reviews. I know my wonton mein and this is not it. Typical hole in the wall, friendly owner, chinatown clean, plenty of parking options in the neighborhood. Wonton Mein had a slightly thick and very salty broth. Noodles were authentic, wonton's were ok, nothing special. Overall, I like to support small businesses but I can't support bad food.
(2)Steven C.
For a noodle and fun house, this little hidden away family establishment always hits the spot. I go here usually after surfing and it is quite satisfying. If your a fan of liver, I highly recommend trying a order. So good and I never order liver. The beef tenderloin with hor fun is very tasty. Definitely a local hangout of sorts. Old men reading their Chinese newspapers and kids usually stopping in. It's nice to get some good Chinese authenticity as well.
(5)Lee H.
Noodle soup was good! Pleasantly surprised. The broth was good and it was like ramen broth. The tenderloin and fishball toppings were good, but I think I will experiment with something else next time.
(5)Lance K.
Unreal minute chicken cake noodle! Da best ever!
(5)Doris D.
I usually come here if HK Noodle House is closed. I get the wonton mein which is good and it's HK style, the noodles are springy and the wonton skin is egg based and thin. My husband got the dry tossed mein and the gravy is pretty good too. Nothing to write home about but if you're in the mood for some HK style noodles, this is a good option.
(3)Dean H.
Haven't eaten here in a while and I don't know why cause the "beef stew" wun tun mein is the cat's meow (no pun intended). I am NOT kidding. The star anise and the soft pieces of beef brisket/tendon is just BROK DA MOUT. Mix that with a great steaming hot broth. You cannot beat it. The noodles are hong kong style skinny noodles and it is just right, not too soft and not too hard, just right. You gotta try the minute chicken cake noodle too. Not your normal MC cake noodle you get at your "round the corner" chinese place. This has chicken WITH bones still on to bring out the flavor of the sauce and MAN is it good. The choi sum is cooked just right too, not too soft, not to underdone....just right again. The only thing that is sad is that there aren't that many seats inside and you may have to wait a little bit. It is so worth it tho. The place seats about 25 max so be ready to squeeze in! I really don't know why I haven't gone here in a while. I must be going insane.

I challenge someone to find a better minute chicken cake noodle! Shockingly I used to come here almost every saturday for 3 years and I never tried the Min. Regardless, they serve the soups piping hot, always! While not really being able to speak Cantonese I got by copying my friends... yoo dan fun, won ton fun, or yoo dan won tun fun. Either way I had fun... yup that just happened!

This small family run restaurant is located in Chinatown on the river side of the Chinese Cultural Plaza. There are only a handful of tables, but the good thing about it is that it's air conditioned. They serve authentic Hong Kong style noodle dishes at very reasonable prices. Most dishes are in the $7-$10 range. I almost always get the minute chicken with cake noodles and a bowl of wontons (without noodles) on the side. The cake noodles are fried to a golden crunch and they put on just the right amount of sauce to moisten it. The chicken is very tasty, but watch out for small bits of bones. I order the wontons because they remind me of the ones that I used to enjoy in Hong Kong noodle shops. Unlike local style wonton wrappers which tend to be thick and chewy, Hong Kong style wonton wrappers are paper thin and have a very delicate, smooth, and soft texture. The wontons here are stuffed with a mixture of diced shrimp and ground pork. Having eaten plenty of Hong Kong style wontons, I assure you that the wontons here rival those in Hong Kong. Should you be shopping in Chinatown and don't feel like waiting in a long line for dim sum, I suggest that you try this place - I am sure that you will not be disappointed.

Okay, this is my favorite place to get won ton mein. The noodles are exactly the way I like them.. a bit on the chewy side. They make everything themselves, which I appreciate very much. It's nice to not eat the sun luck noodles that every other place serves once in a while. Prices are pretty standard averaging around $7 for noodle soups. They give six won tons, which is very generous compared to other places that serve won ton mein. Their minute chicken is very tasty, but for what I paid I feel like I should get more. The look fun noodles are just as good as the mein, so don't be shy. If you like fish balls in your soup, then I recommend trying the fried ones. The place is not very big, so getting a table during the lunch rush might be difficult. This place and Hong Kong Noodle House next door are pretty close in comparison. But I like Lee Ho Fook just a little more because the portions are larger.

Okay, so I have not written a review for awhile and this will be short and sweet. I have been so MIA, but let me tell you, I won't be MIA in coming here. This hole in the wall does not look like much from the outside or inside. Don't let it detract you from sitting down and ordering. Their noodles are just absolutely outstanding. I LOVE their soup noodles (with soy chicken, wonton, and beef tenderloin). The broth is a little oily, yet full of flavor. Next, I ordered the ong choi with garlic. Once again, full of that pungent spice which I love and could never say I want less of it. I have a huge garlic fetish! I believe they are famous for their noodles (egg and chow fun). Finally, the price? You can't go wrong. Everything is under 10 dollars with most hovering around 6 dollars. Enjoy and thanks for those who do read my reviews. I appreciate your comments I when time permits, I'll certainly get on track with my long drawn out reviews! :)
