Hoy Tin Kitchen

Hoy Tin kitchen was close to where we lived, so we decided to get Chinese food from here for my husband's birthday. Just wanted to try a different Chinese restaurant than our usual to go place.

I love that there's an online order app. Easy to order and very convenient.
Our ordered/ rating
BBQ pork and shrimp fried rice = 6*
Stuffed egg plant = 10*
Salt n pepper squid = 1* so bad, it was a big fried dough with overly cooked squid.
Salt n pepper pork chops= 3* super dry
Beef chow fun = 7 *
On choy = 8*
Mayo shrimp with walnuts = 3* big shrimps but super dry n overly cooked.
Hot & sour soup = 7*

Atleast we tried it once.

Liliha St沿いの店舗になり、駐車場はなかったです。
事前、オーダーもできるようですが、その場でテイクアウトも可能です。
安価でボリュームのあるプレート屋さんで、とても美味しかったです。
周りに何もないので、夜遅いと少し薄暗い雰囲気が漂っていますので、ご注意された方がよいかと思います。

A brief love note to Hoy Tin Kitchen: "Thank you so much for consistently delicious, reasonably-priced, well-portioned, and quickly-prepared Chinese takeout. I have enjoyed every dish I've ordered from you guys so far--guaranteed I'll be ordering again . . . and again. Aloha, Janelle"

Jai in the plastic container so it doesn't leak. Multiple ingredients with a sweet sauce This place is known for their ginger chicken and noodles

The food was delicious we ordered 2 orders of crispy won tons. Service was excellent. No place to sit and eat like before. Still good food and reasonable prices for a restaurant in Hawaii.

I haven't been here lately because the food was not good.
Yesterday evening I went to pick up a take out. Hesitate because as I mentioned but u was in the area
To my surprise the food was awesome. Did they get a different cook.
Anyway would recommend if you haven't been there. Got the Seafood Noodle and the Steamed Fish.
The young gentleman that helped me was very polite

Crispy roast pork was weak. Little flavor, wrong coloring. It was at least crunchy but otherwise didn't meet expectations.

Don't recommend this dish.

This chinese restaurant has been here on Liliha Street for years. About two to three years ago, new owners took over. I wonder if the cook changed too. The majority of the dishes were on the bland side. Some parts of the crispy chicken were dry, and some parts were not overcooked. The ma po tofu had soft tofu in it and had hardly any meat in it all. It was soupy and only tasted a little spicy. The stuffed eggplant was very good, had a good ratio portion of ground pork and eggplant. Lots of black bean sauce to coat eggplant pieces. The house special crispy noodles were bland. We requested the sauce on the side, but they mixed it in, so by the time we ate it, the crispy was no longer. The chicken with cashew nuts was mostly vegetables. They have a special, get an order of crispy chicken for $7.99, regularly $10.99, when ordering an entree, limit one per order. Their yellow mustard is so watered down. Overall, food is good when you are hungry, but it'll be a while before returning.
Depending on what entree you order, portions can be small. Parking is tough. You'll be lucky to find metered street parking. Wait time is about 25 minutes. Take out only. No dine in. They have a table in front of the restaurant doors with menus on it and menus on the glass windows.

First time having Hoy Tin, and it was via DoorDash (didn't wanna deal with traffic or people.. you get it.)

We ordered the Beef gravy chow fun, stuffed eggplant, and cake noodle with crispy gaugee.

The eggplant: 10/10. The container was filled with sauce but I opted to just pull out the chunks of eggplant on its own. And it was GOOD. Idk what they stuff it with exactly.. some kind of minced pork cake? Not sure. But it's great!

The chow fun was also good! Again, it was very.. gravy. But they pack it with toppings.. big cuts of beef, veggies, and standard chow fun noodles at the bottom. The only thing I wish, was that the noodles were cooked softer. They were a little firm for me but otherwise, it was good!

The gaugee is probably the best I've had. The meat is super flavorful and not too oily

The cake noodle-- my boyfriend enjoyed. Standard cake noodle with plenty sauce to go around.

6 pieces of cold ginger chicken and 80% loaded of fried rice which is "just egg and rice" was it worth 16 bucks....nope....would I come here again..... nope....was it worth the experience.....nope.....would I recommend.....nope
