Garden Island Cafe

I ordered sweet and sour pork plate for $11.25 and "WOW" the quantity was a lot. It felt like it was over 2 pounds. Two scoops of rice and macaroni salad and loads of sweet and sour pork, which I could not finish so I brought home the leftover for my dinner. The food is great and the service is great. This is a great cheapeats spot.

Great customer service, friendly atmosphere, owner was great. Food portion was amazing. Highly recommend Garden Island Cafe over many other Chinese Restaurants in Waipahu. Especially Jade Garden…Jade’s Customer Service is nonexistent and they don’t like their customers. Will definitely be back and refer others to Garden. Did I mention crazy food portions? My box didn’t even close. Multiple meals in one and phenomenal price/value. Happy and Grateful I found this place. Farther from home but definitely worth the extra hike. 😎

If you're looking for salt n pepper chicken this is not it, it's more of a garlic chicken. Their fried chicken was great. Their gau gee and crab Rangoon was tasty and stuffed, great quantity. Fried rice was good. Walnut shrimp wasn't the greatest to me but my husband enjoyed it. Sweet n sour spareribs had some dry ribs so hard to chew but the taste of the sauce was good. Their Mac salad was tasty. The star was definitely their crispy fried chicken and fried rice for me.

Garden Island Cafe is a must "go to" local restaurant. They have a huge menu. The portions size is also huge, the food is delicious and the prices are extremely reasonable. The service is friendly. They have a small but cozy dining area. I should have left this review before I left the island but I'm going back for my reunion and I plan to eat here. Can't wait.

Great taste, value, and portions are very generous. Have visited several times now trying the cold ginger chicken, chicken katsu, and ordering 2 party pans of gaugee and noodles for holiday parties. Every phone order has been ready on time and was hot and fresh. Every walk in order was prepared and ready faster then the "fast food" restaurants nearby. Will always be near the of the list when we're in the area or need catering.
