Hawaii Chinese Food Map


Living in Hawaii for a few years, I've come to appreciate the diverse culinary delights this place has to offer, especially the authentic Chinese food available in our vibrant Chinese community. Here, I'll share my personal favorites that you absolutely must try.


Chinatown

Located in Honolulu, Chinatown is a hotspot for traditional Chinese cuisine. A couple of must-try places include:

  • **Golden Dragon Restaurant**: Famous for their dim sum, particularly their shrimp dumplings, which run about $5-$10. They get busy, so try to go early!
  • **Snack City**: This spot serves a variety of snacks, like spring rolls and potstickers. Prices are budget-friendly, ranging from $3 to $8. Perfect for a quick bite!

  • Henderson

    If you find yourself in Henderson, don’t miss **Fook Mun Lou**. Their Kung Pao chicken and Yu Xiang shredded pork are authentic, priced around $10 to $15. The ambiance is inviting, making it a great place for family dinners.


    Waikiki

    In Waikiki, I highly recommend **Seafood House**. Their seafood is incredibly fresh, especially the garlic shrimp, which will set you back about $20-$30. While it’s on the pricier side, it’s definitely worth it for a special occasion.


    Local Tips

  • If you’re looking to try something different, consider attending the local food festival during the first week of each month; many restaurants offer special dishes at a discount.
  • Check out **99 Ranch Market**, a local Chinese supermarket, where you can buy fresh vegetables and authentic spices to recreate your favorite dishes at home.
