Spent some time growing up in HK. The food here takes me back. Great and authentic dim sum.

So good! We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything's tasted very good and fresh. Service is fast too. Best to go with a group and go hungry! Prices are very reasonable in my opinion

We visited Honolulu and our local Chinese friends took us to this restaurant. Very authenic dim Sum and Good Chow Fun and Chow mein.If you park at the closby parking garage, yu can get a parking stamp for free parking. Yo can also feed the meters.

Quick and delicious with a great variety of dishes! We were sat right away at 9:30am on a Sunday and had a full table of food within about 1 minute of sitting. The XLB was some of the best I've ever had and all the usual suspects were fantastic! Definitely recommend.

This is our new fave place for dim sum. They have the Chinese fried donut (you tiao). Service was quick and friendly staff. The har gow that we got that day the shrimp smell but didn’t want to make a fuzz so we didn’t even bother taking it home. Everything else was delish. Next time I will try the Chinese pizza not sure that is but try it.

Fook Lam. Showed up early to avoid the dim sum rush, showed our vax cards, service was attentive, trays and carts came around frequently. Tea tasted amazing. Atmosphere was not packed but seemingly steady pace and tabled filled fast. Some of my favorites are the look fun (shrimp and beef), chicken feet was deep in flavor and spices, gelatinous yet tender and sticky. deep fried mochi with meat is a MUST. (Hardly noticeable in pictures) and shrimp wonton, yeah everything was tasty! Least favorite were the soup dumplings, might’ve been my taste honestly, but the broth wasn’t working for me. It’s always an experience to eat dim sum. I respect the aunties very much.

Their dumplings are so-so… but their “Chicken Bun” was pretty good!! I like Xiaolongbao but it’s hard to find a place where has a good Xiaolongbao in Hawaii, so sad. Their Xiaolongbao is not so bad in Hawaii, that’s why I come here.

Good staples but the real hits are the xiao long baos and the braised rice noodles with short ribs.

Had the best emein ever. Just the right chewiness and texture. Not salty either.Also excellent dim sum: Siu mai (coarse ground like I like it), har gau (perfectly steamed and not gummy or soggy), and the egg custard (fluffy and sweet). Didn’t love the steamed char siu bao this time as it was a little less fluffy than the usual awesomeness. I think it was an anomalous batch.Usually get the jook/congee, which is flavorful and thick, but wasn’t in the mood this time.

The go to place for excellent dim sum in Hawaii (Oahu)
