My wife enjoyed the vegetables at this Panda very much. Like it is said, âHappy wife, happy life.â The amount of money we spent for lunch was extremely reasonable. Located on the second floor of the Queen Kaahumanu Center mall, it is easy to find about a mile from the port. There are plenty of tables to choose from and there was always a breeze.I did enjoy the Chicken Kung Pao here very much as there were plenty of vegetables mixed in. This was not the case at other Pandaâs in Hawaii. Also, this Panda offered two varieties of soup: egg drop and hot and sour. Many Pandaâs offer only one soup. The service is good and we actually visited twice. This Panda is located near the center of the mall. Samples of the food are freely offered. For the amount of food that is served, it is a great bargain.If you found this review âhelpfulâ in any way, please press âLIKE.â

I remember eating here before they changed the name and expanded the dining area and I know why this is an award-winning restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed my garlic shrimp with a nice, juicy and perfectly seasoned steak! Unbelievably, together that was just $12.99! It had rice and mac salad with it. Sadly, I found the macaroni salad to be on the sour side. The shoyu chicken, the chow mein and the crispy wontons were flavorful, too! Nice and hardworking employees and did not have to wait too long for the meals! There are over 50 items on their menu and I plan to try it all!
4. King's Chinese Barbecue
Reviewed By 808son
Chinese family-owned popular local plate lunch place with amazingly authentic local Hawaiian style plate lunches (killer roast pork with gravy) but my expectations on Chinese BBQ (char siu, roasted pork, roasted duck) fell considerably short. We are spoiled by the intense competition in Las Vegas where we've resided since 1993. If you've been to LV's Chinatown, specifically Asian BBQ & Noodle on Jones, there is absolutely no comparison. So, a stop for a plate lunch is OK but after ordering a whole duck/roast pork for my friend's ohana party, roast duck was way below acceptable and instead of the Chinese style roasted pork, local style roast pork with gravy was spot on; just not Chinese BBQ.

Wonderful Hawaiian food in a place that rarely sees tourists. The interior decor leaves a lot to be desired, but the food is phenomenal!! Not familiar with the menu, I asked a couple of people in line to order, "What's good?" and they both said "Everything!"We ordered crispy roasted chicken and won ton min. Both were wonderful. The chicken was exquisitely seasoned, and roasted, but textures were just like fried chicken; crispy outside and moist inside. Won tons were delicious.Food was worth 5 stars, but appearance dinged down to 4.
2. Miko Cuisine
Reviewed By MauiWorldTravelers
Wailuku's newest eatery has opened in the former Asian Star spot in the Millyard industrial area.ATMOSPHERE:They've done a much needed interior refreshening since taking over. Gone are the dreary white walls and tacky decor. Welcomed are warm, inviting colors and a bigger population of dining homo erectus, giving the place life again. Unfortunately (IMO), they offer karaoke during dining hours which was the only negative thing as it's super annoying. To make matters worse, the person attempting to sing refused to standup and sing so the microphone kept making that obnoxious feedback noise which he seemed to enjoy and kept on doing it. Come on!?MENU:Mixed cuisine of apps, salads, sushi, local Hawaii fare, ramen, Korean dishes, Chinese dishes. Currently, only items highlighted with pen marks are available to order.FOOD:Banchan - These were on the house. Six small plates came neatly presented in the middle of our table. We received some kind of green vegetable that tasted like blanched broccolini done in sesame oil and sprinkled with cheese (?), two types of kim chee that looked spicy but were not, a savory green ocean salad-like veggie, chewy kim chee squid cut into sticks and my least favorite which were uncut kim chee-flavored green onions.Gyoza - $8.50. About eight pieces came on the plate, all perfectly deep fried and stuffed full with a pork mixture. The dipping sauce was really good which was a soy-based sauce with chili notes but not spicy. Highly recommended!Rainbow Roll - $15.50. My friend loves sushi so this was his order. This is basically a California roll but topped with fresh fish which were salmon, ahi and hamachi. He said it was "okay" so I guess it's not the best he's had.Kim Chee Pancake - The owner of Miko's knew one of my friends so this was on the house. I didn't see it listed on the menu but I'm sure they can make it any time. From how it was presented, I think they drizzle the kim chee pieces in actual pancake batter then throw it on the griddle, similar to a Japanese okonomiyaki. The taste was really good with savory notes while the bits of pancake batter added texture and held everything together.Spicy Pork Ribs - $24.95. About eight or so spare ribs came sitting atop a bed of raw onions. I'm not a huge rib fan but I really liked it. The flavor was mildly sweet and salty, but there was no spice to them at all. A bit pricey for the portion size.Nabeyaki Udon - $11.95. If you've read my reviews, you'll know that I am a total ramen/udon/noodle fanatic, so naturally I had to try their version. Instead of a traditional cast iron pot, they used a modern slate-colored steel pot that almost looked like plastic. It arrived hot but not searing like you'd get at Ichiban Kahului or Archie's. The broth was very mild, more savory with a hint of sweet. I added a swish of shoyu which helped a little, but didn't wow me at all. Toppings were a sunny side-up egg, shrimp tempura and an overkill of white onions. Meh. Sam Sun Jjamppong - $14.95 (item #254 on the menu). If you like spice or a kick, this is for you! It's like a seafood noodle soup with a spicy red broth, chocked full of seafood like shrimp and mussels. It's a big bowl good enough for a table to share as an app. Spicy Tuna Roll - $7.50. My spouse's dish. 8 pieces were yielded. The fish was abnormally bright red with a mashed-up consistency. He didn't care much for them and ate only 2 pieces.Crispy Chicken - $12.95. This item is listed on their single page menu, in which I ordered it because a previous Yelper reviewed it positively. It's half of a whole deep-fried chicken, seasoned and cooked perfectly. A sweet/savory/vinegary sauce comes with for dipping. Very good.Chicken Chow Mein - $12.95. The portion size is very generous. The noodles were thick and very al dente, with deep flavors of garlic and the taste of a well-seasoned wok. Some chicken bits were a bit burnt but gave off a nice charred note to the entire dish. Veggies were broccoli, cabbage, carrots, red and green bells and zucchini all done in a semi-thick gravy. Highly recommended.Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura - $19.95. I'm pretty sure these were homemade as the shrimp weren't super straight and came in a smooth and thick corn dog-like batter. While the flavors were good, it was a very mainstream dish. The dipping sauce was super bold compared to traditional tempura sauces. Pass.DESSERT:Fresh Orange & Pineapple - Someone here has a clever hand at carving! The orange was carved into a panda bear with its belly holding the hollowed out fruit, neatly diced and ready to be picked up via toothpicks. A sliver of pineapple was carved into what I believe was a bird with the pineapple top resembling tail feathers. I didn't see this on the menu but we received it at the end of our meal. Very unique!SERVICE:All the servers were helping each other out, so we had excellent service and were checked up on A LOT. If you have a birthday, they crank up the karaoke system, the servers come to your table, one with tambourine in-hand and serenade you.OVERALL:Great addition to the dead dining scene that is Wailuku town. Good food, great service. I will be back to try more!
