Lam's Kitchen

Food: quite on the cheaper side for Chinese food in town. one of the best dishes here is their look fun roll aka cheung fun! It is warm and soft and goes so well with hoisin sauce and peanut butter sauce! I also like to add a little of their homemade chili oil to add a slight kick. But today we ordered beef chow fun, boiled pork liver, and Chinese donut stick. The beef chow fun was okay, could use a bit more wokhay and flavor. I enjoyed boiled pork liver a lot since it was very soft and not chewy at all. There was a generous amount of green onions! Can’t go wrong with the donut, but we have a feeling that it’s not made from scratch and it’s probably frozen. Service: it was alright, they’re always busy so the staff are doing the best they can to serve you. We went on a weekend and we had w

Lam’s Kitchen – A Traditional Chinese Noodle Shop in the Heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown Lam’s Kitchen is a small, old-fashioned noodle shop nestled in the bustling Chinatown district of Honolulu. The place seats only about 30 people, so even though we came during a regular lunch hour, my family and I had to wait around 20 minutes to get a table. I ordered the fish noodle soup – the broth was clear and light, with a clean, subtle flavor. The fish was not fried but cooked directly in the soup, making the meat firm, fresh, and pleasantly mild. It’s a good choice for those who enjoy traditional, light flavors. My husband and child had the stir-fried beef rice noodles – a more memorable dish. The wide, chewy noodles were stir-fried hot with tender slices of beef, and the dish carried a distin

Still as yummy as before, service was as authentic as I would expect lol first time trying their wonton noodles. Solid. Wonton got shrimp in it too! Love the sassy attitude of my server haha I asked to make sure wonton has shrimp in it coz I've seen many places just putting pork and call it a day (ugh) she's like "wonton is not wonton if there's no shrimp in it." That's what I'm talking about, Aunty.

We got the chow fun with choysum, fried donuts and beef and tendon look fun in soup. The soup dish was good, comforting but leaning towards too salty for us. The chow fun was lacking smokiness, overpowered by the sauce. Texture of noodle was amazing tho. The donuts were great too. Service was quick. We sat next to a larger group and had to share condiments which was a little awkward.

Highly recommend this restaurant! We visited Lam’s Kitchen twice during our stay in Honolulu, and it truly felt like a taste of home. The food is light yet well-seasoned, comforting without being heavy. We ordered the beef chow fun, beef look fun, wonton, and boiled liver. Every dish was delicious. Most importantly, after finishing the soup and noodles, our stomachs felt warm and comfortable. No heaviness at all. If you’re missing the flavors of a neighborhood noodle shop back home, don’t miss this place!
