I'm so confused as to what the actual name of this place is. The sign on the facade says "General Chinese BBQ" or something along those lines, but the menu states "King's BBQ & Chinese Restaurant No. 5". I tried inquiring with a staff member but that proved nearly impossible.
ATMOSPHERE: Located in the dismal Wailuku Towne Center, the dirty windows match their surroundings perfectly. Lots of empty indoor tables for the choosing. No hot foods line, fortunately I say, so everything is made to order.
MENU: Breakfast, burgers, noodles, local-style plate lunches, Chinese dishes and a catering menu.
RESERVATIONS: None.
PARKING: Free & plentiful within the mall's grounds.
FOOD: BBQ Chicken - $11.99 It's reassuring to know that if L&L ever closes up shop, I'll have an alternative as this version was eerily close in savory taste & moist texture. I opted for all mac salad and no rice, though L&L's recipe is slightly tastier. Portion size was good but another piece of flattened-out thigh would've been appreciated. Highly recommended.
SERVICE: Phone ordering was quick, easy and friendly, as was pick up.
TIP: Another "King's BBQ" is set to open in Puunene Shopping Center soon (in between Starbucks and Fork & Salad). Perhaps number 6? General Chinese No. 2? Who knows!
OVERALL: Like a Michelin inspector, go for the food, not...

Must be controlling inventory and not a good deal. Remember the man you served on Wednesday at 3:45pm. Not happy! Keep your 38 bucks!! It will be the last. Not going all the way back from where I lived to debate with you guy’s! Very awful. Chicken taste spoiled. I hope Department of health do a random check on you!! Throw the food out. I hope the two bites don’t make me sick!!!! Wednesday May 14,...
Read moreDecided to try this place out instead of going to McDonald’s which is in the same parking lot. Ordered two of the breakfast plates. One with corned beef and the other with bacon. Both came with eggs and white rice. For the 2 breakfast it was about $14. Which is the price it would have been for about one breakfast across the parking lot. The service was quick as there was only one other party ahead of us. The decor is kinda sparse but there is plenty of seating. Overall the food was good especially...
