Hong Nien Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Honolulu

This was my mom's favorite Chinese restaurant, so it hurts having to write a bad review. Tonight, I bought what was supposed to be a celebration dinner for my family. All the food was bland, as if they didn't use any salt whatsoever. The crispy chicken was cold, the sweet and sour spare ribs tasted off, and they put bell peppers and white onion in their salt & pepper shrimp. It's been senior 5 hours since eating and now 5 it 6 off us have upset tummies. I guess my sister was lucky, cuz she only ordered the egg fuyong, while the test of us got the dinner plate. $80 is a lot to spend on bland, spoiled food, so sadly, I will probably never order from...

Aloha; this spot has been around for years but this was my first time enjoying thier establishment with my family. The service was quiet but instant, food was served the quickest I have ever seen in a Chinese spot. The food was perfect, cake noodles were perfect, Mongolian beef tender, Egg Blossom soup was unreal good and Peking duck was perfectly tender and moist. There are only about 32 seats available but most people do take out. It's super old school look made me feel like it was the 80 again enjoying it with family...I loved it. You have to try it. This is how I remember traditional...

Overall experience was good. It was about 8pm after errands dinner 🥘 & since it will be Valentine’s Day tomorrow we figured why not do a pre V -day dinner. We(3) each order our favorites. Boyfriend ordered the eggplant 🍆 w/ black bean sauce, I ordered cake noodles w/ minute chicken & shrimp 🍤 fried rice, my daughter ordered salt & pepper pork chops & squid ( calamari). Food was pretty tasty 😋 & delicious. We were impressed, & definitely will go back. The shrimp chips was a plus, really good...
