5 Best Chinese Restaurants near Makawao

“The food is okay, although they do have some exceptional ones that are really great. I really enjoyed the hamburger steak/ chicken cutlet combo plate.Parking: The location I went to is in Pukalani, and the parking lot at this strip mall is extremely tight. It's not uncommon for people to not park within the painted stalls. It's just accepted at that particular parking lot due to the extremely tight spacing. Everyone just understands it's necessary.“

“TL;DR - Amazing new "mainland style" Chinese restaurant here in Maui! Don't get me wrong - I do love the foods of Hawai'i, but I also appreciate different flavors too. Fried rice is one of my all-time favorite dishes. When I moved to Maui years ago, I ordered fried rice and was shocked by the smoky, meaty flavor of the local style. I love it but I also couldn't find the fried rice of my childhood. Today I found it at Maui Lemongrass and I am so excited! Everything we had was excellent - Chicken Chow Mein, Veggie Spring Rolls, fried rice, and Egg Foo Young. We also noticed the family in the booth next to us say "this is like New York Chinese food!" so it wasn't just us who had the feeling of familiarity. I also really appreciated that you could taste the freshness of the cooking and the ingredients. "Mainland style" Chinese might evoke a range of quality from legit restaurants to small takeout places selling fast food delivery. This is the nice restaurant type! This kind of good Chinese restaurant was my grandma's favorite for dining out, if she was still alive and could visit me this would be at the top of the list for places to take her for dinner. If a guy wants to take his grandma there you know it's good! We will be back soon for more delicious food!“

“Our meal at King Chinese Barbecue was delightfully delicious, featuring an impressive selection of fried shrimp, fried chicken, short ribs, and grilled salmon. However, our dining experience was marred by several service and cleanliness issues. Unfortunately, we received no offer of water, and the cleanliness of our dining area was below expectations. We encountered ants at our first table, and a closer inspection revealed that the tables were not properly cleaned, with visible grime beneath the clear mats. This lack of attention to cleanliness significantly detracted from our overall experience and was the main reason for not awarding a higher rating.Family would like to grab food and leave next time.“

“Food truck vibes from an actual brick and mortar store. Covered patio dining area offeres 4 large picnic tables for ample people watching. Their katsu plate and egg flower soup are fantasticDietary restrictions: Fried rice can be made gluten free and egg flower soup is by definition gluten-free.Parking: The nearby shopping area does offer some parking, but best to park on the street or across the street in the FoodLand parking lot and walk. Hey it's warm and you're on vacation.“

“Friday night the line is out of the door long. We went through the drive though the server took our order! They were out of orange chicken. She politely informed me we would have to wait about 15 minutes for more orange chicken. We waited near the back. They were very quick about getting our food out to us it took less than 10 minutes. The food is hot and fresh. Exactly what I was craving. Thank you!“
