Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Honolulu

Please do not eat or order take out from this Chinese restaurant! I had a bad experience at Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant.

I tried this restaurant for the first time and wish I didn’t. I ordered the special, the oyster sauce chicken over cake noodles for my husband to eat for his lunch.

Beware! This restaurant adds on a 3% fee onto your bill if you use your debit or credit card to pay for your food.

There is a sign at the counter, but I didn’t see it, and it is not easy to spot and can be easily missed. The man doing my debit card transaction conveniently forgot to mention to me about the extra charge when he should have.

The food itself is tasteless, expensive and they add MSG to their food as well.

Service is not friendly as they refused to refund my money and when I called to speak to the manager, the lady who answered the phone lied to me and pretended not to know the manager of the restaurant’s name.

Who doesn’t know the name of their manager?

All in all, do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant like the plague, and choose a...

I wish we'd read some of the reviews before ordering. Ordered online and the food was waiting for us when we arrived. Not much interaction with staff but reasonably friendly and all dishes were labeled with our names and nicely boxed up. That's about the best I can say.

When we got home, the food (while plentiful) was like quite a few others have stated: over-breaded General Tso chicken, drowning in some sort of gravy/sauce, not spicy, and almost no flavor. My wife got the chicken and broccoli, which was literally just that (no sauce or anything); she took one bite of the chicken and picked the rest out because it was just gross. Crab Rangoons are usually pretty difficult to mess up, but these were over-fried or fried in old oil, lacked flavor, and 1 of the 6 didn't even have any filling in it.

Definitely a good location like others have mentioned, but totally not worth it and will not be returning. Life's too short to eat bad food, sadly would have preferred to eat at a national chain Chinese place than here. Would...

I ordered the Mongolian Beef, Chicken with Black Mushrooms, Hot and Sour Soup, and two orders of rice (I can't believe entrees don't come with rice... that's new to me for a Chinese restaurant but maybe it's commonplace here). $39! The food was pretty good but i was so surprised by the price! I looked at their menu online and thought it seemed reasonable so I ordered but when i went to pick the food up it was over $10 more than I expected. When I looked the restaurant up I looked at the restaurant photos on Yelp and saw the menu pics. I guess the prices went up by like $3 or more per item compared to what they are on the actual restaurant's webpage. $9.50 for hot and sour soup seems really high. The rice price only went up like a quarter but I'm still kinda sore about paying extra for white rice (especially since one menu pic I saw online said the entree came with rice but I asked and was told it was extra). Oh well. Just a warning if you're on a budget and basing your choices off the menu on...
