Oahu's Chinese food scene runs deeper than most visitors expect — stretching well beyond Chinatown into neighborhoods like Moiliili, Kakaʻako, Kaimuki, and Pearl City. I pulled together this curated guide from all 61 Chinese restaurants cataloged on the site, leading with verified picks and rounding out the list with the island's best-rated spots by reputation.
From the handmade wontons and dumplings at Bo's Kitchen in Kakaʻako to the traditional Sichuan heat at Chong Qing Cuisine in Moiliili, the range of regional Chinese cooking on this island is genuinely impressive. Chun Wah Kam Noodle Factory in Pearl City is a beloved local institution, known for its manapua and plate lunches that have fed generations of Hawaii families.
