★★★★★ 5.0 Anna Baatz · Feb 2026

For years we've driven past and always wondered, but never take the plunge, until now. We had an absolutely amazing dinner here. I made sure to call 24hrs in advance to order their specialty, roasted squab, since we were feeling adventurous. Da pigeon (aka squab) was mean! Just like a super tender, juicy, flavorful miniature Peking duck. They also gave us complimentary salted egg yolk stir fried prawns since we ordered several dishes. The service was friendly and it was packed inside. Lobster was of course pretty good but their specialty Chinese broccoli and Squab were our favorites. Would love to come back with a big group and try more! :)

I have never experienced racial profiling in my 52 years—until this visit. It was a truly horrible experience.

We spend our winters in Hawaii for both work and personal reasons, so we are not unfamiliar with dining here. That said, this was by far one of the most uncomfortable experiences we’ve had. If you are not Asian or not a local, I would strongly suggest avoiding this place. While the food itself was excellent, the service was not. Our waitress, Sonya, was dismissive and unwelcoming—avoid her if possible. In contrast, the gentleman who seated us was very pleasant and went ou

The Crown Jewel of King Street: A Seafood Feast You Can’t Miss If you are looking for a quiet, white-tablecloth candlelight dinner, keep walking. But if you want the real Honolulu seafood experience—bustling, loud, authentic, and absolutely delicious—Lobster King is the undisputed monarch. From the moment you walk in, the energy hits you. The walls are lined with tanks of massive live lobsters and crabs, promising a freshness you can literally see. It’s casual, family-style dining at its finest, where the plates are huge and the flavors are bold

One of the best Chinese food we’ve had in Oahu! Love the fish, abalone, crab soup and the chicken. The staff there are super friendly :)
