Reviews Cafe New Honolulu

Straightforward Restaurant - Chinatown. This is a basic Chinatown eatery. It is fast. It is simple. The food was good. The service was terse but very accommodating and effective.

The ambiance is plain. Just a room with very basic tables and chairs.

I came in. Immediately, I was seated. The server brought me a menu and took my order for a 7-Up and water. She quickly returned with it. She took my food order (Mongolian Beef with Rice).

In less than five minutes, my food was brought out.

It was a good rendition of Mongolian Beef. The beef was tender. The veggies were crisp. It could use a little more zip. I remedied that. I requested some hot sauce. She brought me a bottle of Sriracha. Mmm - nectar for my Mongolian Beef. It was a big portion. I left full.

She brought me my check and I was on my way.

The price was decent. My lunch was just over $8 for a lot of food.

I would go back. Probably will. It is only about 3 minutes from my place. It is basic quality food served fast with non-nonsense service.

We ordered the beef noodle soup and the wonton noodle soup, both of which are delicious!! If I had to pick one over the other, I would pick the beef noodle soup. The service isn't great unless you're Cantonese or if you know the owners, but that is pretty generalized throughout Chinatown. This place is definitely worth visiting, especially with the affordable prices. Complementary tea comes with all meals.

I ordered egg rolls and French fries. The French fries were the best I've had in a long time. They were not greasy, and were made from real potatoes! They egg rolls come with a sweet red sauce and were also good. Both came to a total of 9 dollars. I'd go back again and try some other items!
