About This Place

Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant, nestled conveniently in Honolulu's Salt Lake Shopping Center, offers an authentic taste of Cantonese and broader Asian flavors that delight both locals and visitors alike. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a clean, inviting atmosphere where attentive service complements the rich, aromatic dishes coming from the kitchen.

The menu is a treasure trove of classic and unique offerings that cater to a variety of palates. Signature dishes like the Orange Chicken burst with vibrant citrus tang, perfectly balancing sweet and savory notes that leave your taste buds tingling. The Egg Drop Soup is a comforting start — silky, warming, and just the right consistency to awaken your appetite.

For those seeking a heartier meal, the Black Bean Sauce Beef Sizzling Plate sizzles with bold flavors; tender beef melds beautifully with the robust black bean sauce, infused with garlic and a smoky undertone that makes each bite unforgettable. Meanwhile, the Salted Fish Fried Rice offers a nostalgic punch of umami and salty richness, a true crowd-pleaser.

Vegetable options such as the Choy Sum with Oyster Sauce and Eggplant Tofu (highlighted by a satisfied customer for its healthier twist on sweet and sour flavors) provide fresh, vibrant contrasts to meatier dishes. The texture of crisped tofu paired with tender eggplant, doused in luscious sauce, demonstrates the kitchen’s skill at crafting comforting yet refined meals.

Not to be missed are the appetizers – the Crispy Won Ton with its golden, crunchy exterior and savory filling is a perfect start, while the Black Bean Clams bring the ocean’s freshness combined with savory depth. The menu also offers intriguing specialties like General Tsao Muffins and Stuffed Duck, providing adventurous diners with exciting flavor explorations.

Customers consistently praise the friendly, attentive service, enhanced by thoughtful touches like hot tea and prompt soup servings. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick, satisfying noodle dish like the Minute Chicken HK Noodles or settling in for a shared feast of Mongolian Beef and Sour Pork, there’s a warm, welcoming vibe that makes dining here feel like a true local experience.

Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant excels not just in its menu, but in creating a space where flavor, familiarity, and genuine aloha meet. It’s a dependable, flavorful retreat for anyone craving quality Chinese cuisine in a relaxed, approachable setting.

    Today I got to try their Eggplant Tofu plate and it really was good. I used to like the Sweet & Sour Spareribs, but today I wanted to try something more healthy and it turned out that this Eggplant Tofu also seem to use the Sweet & Sour sauce, but much better. Also, the service was friendly and helpful.

    No wait, plenty of tables, very clean. The waitress was great and fast! She had tea hot & ready. When our duck and bao came out she served us. She also served us our first bowl of egg drop soup. Definitely going to be a repeat customer

    Nice little Cantonese Chinese restaurant in the Salt Lake Shopping center. Conveniently located next to Safeway and Shaka Shaka Tea several other eateries like McDonald's. Food is good, prices are fair and portions are decent. Been going here a while and occasionally that change in cooks makes the food inconsistent but generally they are our standby Chinese food spot. Favorites are salted fish fried rice, mapo tofu, eggplant with minced pork, garlic chicken over cake noodle, black bean clams, salt and pepper dished (port chops, chicken or squid all tasty). Staff has been really friendly and helpful but speaking Chinese probably helps the cause but our friends who don't speak still get good service. Ever since portions got really small and Wah Kung in the old 99 ranch complex changed ownership, we have been coming here. You should stop if you are into traditional Cantonese fare.
