Reviews for Dew Drop Inn in Honolulu, HI
My first visit here I was pleasantly surprised about the food I ordered. The mongolian beef had the same exact perfect flavor I... remember as I child, the orange chicken was also spectacular. The hot and sour soup was very delicious as well. The secondtime I ordered, the same meals with the exception of the orange chicken tasted very different. It seemed as if there was adifferent chef who was heavy handed about using the Chinese 5 spice. I felt like I was back in Taipei eating the street foodthere. I thought maybe this was a mistake given we were speaking mandarin when we ordered. The third time however, it tastedsimilar to the first time but the execution was off. The orange chicken had too much of a sour vinegar taste, the mongolianbeef was watery and lacking in flavor and heat, and the hot and sour soup was actually not hot but more bitter and sour. I feelthe need to write this as a message to the owners of this place. The last two orders I believe were during the weekend. Thereseems to be a lot inconsistency and if you cannot have the better chefs running, please close the place! I will never returnagain as I had to throw the food away and felt we wasted quite a bit of money the last two orders. Read more
Many vegetarian/vegan options. Wonderful little hidden gem! Food is amazingly great. We had the bean curd with vegetables,... fish filet w/green onions & ginger...this dish was so mild & delicate, also had the bread pockets w/minced pork. More thanenough food for 2 w/lots of leftovers. Highly recommend the bean curd with vegetables. Will return again and again. Only openbetween 4-9:30 pm Read more
Wonderful food! Especially fresh ingredients and nice spices oil from boss! Thanks
We had their takeout a couple of times in the past as we enjoyed the food. I like the fact they don?t use MSG This time we... tried few new dish. Overall good but the noodle in the soup dish was very bland. Shao ping bao with sesame bun looked great butthe bun was very thick and heavy, very runny Mapoh tofu...all unexpected taste. Not sure if that is their style. We will haveto stick to the ones we know that we like next time we order their food. Read more
Sesame bread pockets with chicken!! Soooo good. We also had crispy noodles with vegetables, spicy wontons, xiao long bao, and... vegetable spring rolls. The food here is delicious. Read more
Still the best chinese food on island. Ive been coming here since I was very small. Its a tiny place so it gets packed at dinner... time. Lunch time is better. Read more
Great service. Foods are great. Prices are very reasonable. It?s more Southern Chinese food than Northern. Gets crowded at... dinner time. Parking available right outside. No restrooms. Read more
Authentic as hell and the food is INCREDIBLE. As a first gen Chinese person, I always crave good northern food, and this is it.... They have more than Northern Chinese fare as well. If you?re worried about a slow service as many have complained in thereviews, please keep in mind this is a small family business that seems busy from open to close. Don?t be so entitled. If youwant generic fast food, go hit up someplace else. Coming back again before we head back mainland! Read more
