Fast and friendly service, tasty food and nice portion sizes. Their oxtail soup/mein is underrated, and a nice option on a rainy day. Daughter loves it here. Reminds me of the Chinese restaurants that we enjoyed during my childhood across the state.

Every visit to Kauai, while we put in our steps walking our way around Lihue, we always pass by Garden Island BBQ & Chinese restaurant, I keep telling myself I will check it out, but never happened. Finally decided to get take out for hotel stay and it was the best decision ever. While waiting for my order, I noticed all the Best of the Best Awards on the wall and Best Of Kauai stickers on the door. This place must be good! Don't want to think there is not much competition for Chinese restaurants on Kauai, but I did read some great reviews and the food photos looked really good. Yelpers and residents of Kauai knows their stuff! Note, Garden Island has both local foods like and an L & L plus Chinese food, you get the best of both world here. There are so much varieties of items on the menu booklet, it will be hard to decide on what to order. I am excited to try the fried chicken as I read it was good, I got the set menu for 2, ($47.95) which was more than enough for 2, this was lots of food which lasted us a few meals at the hotel. The set menu for 2 comes with scallop soup, fried chicken, fried rice, and shrimp with vegetables. The only complaint I have is the scallop soup, I couldn't really taste much scallop (dried) from the soup, it had more ground pork, this soup is similar to the egg drop soup. Wow, the award goes to the chicken!, it was really crispy and tasty! ( trust me on this one, you have to try the chix.) I like that the chicken is cut up so both parts of the chicken will have the crispy taste and it is fully cooked evenly for the crispiness. I asked if they could do lup chong fried rice instead of char siu, and Yay they can, I miss eating lup chong! Overall, the other half and I really enjoyed the food, the hubby mentioned good choice and I still scored brownie points with him! Totally Recommend, you know, I will be back!

Good food, and fast service. Happy tummy again! Char Siu Fried Rice, Cold Ginger Chicken, Beef Sirloin Sizzling Platter, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs (sorry, I thought I took a pic of this but i guess I didnt) The main one I wanted was the cold ginger chicken. Hard to find in Colorado, but didnt think it was an acquired taste for my family lol. They not used to "cold chicken" lol. It needs to be hot/heated up lol. My sister's favorite is the beef sirloin and the fried rice. She normally gets the shrimp fried rice, but my mom is allergic to shrimp, so she made a sacrifice lol. I must admit, the sirloin sizzling platter was really good.
I went there with friends on 24th Dec 2023 and this restaurant has charged me twice. The billed amount was $98.01 and I added 15% tips that made it $112.71. When I checked my credit card statement this FRAUD Merchant has charged both the amount. Now they are not picking up the phone to resolve it.WATCH OUT YOUR BANK STATEMENT AFTER YOU EAT THERE. THEY ARE THIEVES.

Yummy food and attentive service at a great price.Good portion size.Bbq was not overly sweet.Even though my water glass was small and I was thirsty the staff was quick to refill.The only thing that wasn't fantastic was the macaroni salad -- just noodles and mayo.
