Kevin's Kitchen

​Kevin's Kitchen is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. My family and I celebrated the Autumn Festival there this past Monday. We were initially hesitant, fearing the quality and food would be just like every other Chinese restaurant in Hawaii. ​The atmosphere was consistent with a truly authentic experience: a lot of lively yelling and loud noise! The food came out fast and all at once, and the majority of the patrons were local Chinese families, not tourists—a good sign! ​But what truly set it apart was the food. We ordered a large variety of dishes, from the famous roast duck to the salt and pepper tofu, and honestly, we loved every single one. The beef brisket with bean curb was so good, we ordered it twice. Next time, we will order the lobster and try one of the sizzling platter dis

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants now! I haven't had a single item that I didn't enjoy. Their Hong Kong tea is the best I've found on the island. Best for the classics like char sui, honey roasted pork, but I really love the roasted chicken and Peking style spare ribs! They have bentos, which are perfect for one person dining too.

KUDOs. None CHALLENGEs. Attempted to eat here 3 times; same drill. Two of us, no reservation. 1st: 4 empty tables; 2nd: 3 empty tables (3 couples turned away); 3rd: 6 empty tables. After entering, waiter asks 'how many?', then discusses loudly, in Chinese, with "manager/boss" in rear of restaurant. Answer is "full, nothing available." It appears that tables are saved to accommodate more people for larger profit. This is not the way to run a business. There are many other restaurants in Honolulu from which to choose.

This place is our new favorite Hong Kong style restaurant on the island. After coming a few times and trying a bunch of different dishes, I can't say anything has disappointed me. The char siu is 5 star, no notes good. I get it every time and devour too much. Other favorites include the Peking pork chop and Shanghai noodles. You need to get an iced milk tea to go with it, also the best milk tea on the island.

An amazing experience from start to finish. Our server was attentive and checked on our table frequently. The food came out quickly and tasted fresh. Be ready to feast because the portions are large! I would recommend bringing a jacket, because they put their AC on max. And parking was plentiful. My family and I will be returning soon to try their other items!
