Happy New Year 2025! We've done to go orders. We chose dine in for a change. There are five, dedicated parking spaces in the lot for the restaurant. If not, search for street parking. Best to visit during non-peak hours. Come as you are. There are a few round tables in the middle including rectangular tables to the left and right. Beef Broccoli: Sliced beef tasted very tender. Thinly sliced carrots tasted yummy. Broccoli was slightly crunchier. Sauce was light tasting and complemented the beef. Sweet and Sour Pork: Loved how the acidity of the pineapple chunks balanced well with the red and green bell peppers, onions, plus the sauce. Pork tasted tender and moist on the inside. Crispy coating was a match made in heaven with the sauce oozing over the plate. Cold Ginger Chicken: Liked how two containers with the lids of ginger sauce arrived next to the chicken. Ideal for pouring when ready to eat. Generous amounts of ginger sauce was the perfect ratio to pour and coat over the cold, cooked chicken. Delicious! Crispy Chicken Cake Noodles: Chicken tasted very moist and complemented the crispy skin. Light sauce added a nice touch to the chicken and cake noodles. Server provided impeccable customer service along with complimentary hot tea. Our Server communicated in Cantonese to workers and in English to customers. Wonderful to catch up in conversation with a familiar face from back in the days and enjoy!

We went to lagoon Chinese restaurant for an early lunch get together and it was a good thing, because after that the restaurant was packed with all the tables full and customers waiting outside. They have a shared parking with the hotel which they are connected to on the ground floor. We all had a great time and the food choices were very good and tasty. We had chicken cake noodles which was great that they brought the sauce separately to not over soaking the cake noodles, the only thing the cake noodles came out over cooked an extra crispy which the sauce could soak into the noodles. The ground pork and string beans were very good not over cooked which gave the green beans a good texture. The crispy Gau gee was good and crispy and tasty. The steamed fish and vegetables was good but it had so much vegetables and hardly any fish and what worst we ordered a plate of mixed vegetables which was too much vegetables dish left over. The walnut shrimp was good it was tasty the portion was smaller then the others dishes. Restroom is clean it is outside by hotel pool area and it is a shared restroom for men & women.

Food was Americanized but tasted good. The only bad thing was the 18% enforced tip for groups of 5 plus. Resto is known for their Hawaiian char siu.

Update on Lagoon Chinese today my boss treated us to lunch since it was our last day of school because of Winter break . We all ordered combo B it was very tasty and way better than my last night experience lol .

What a great neighborhood Chinese restaurant I happened upon! Hidden in one of the streets in the Ke'ehi Lagoon area, this Chinese restaurant will definitely be one of my "go-to's." The prices are reasonable and the food delicious. We ordered a combo plate that included sweet sour spareribs, beef broccoli , fried rice, roast pork, and crispy won ton and a ginger chicken/charsiu rice plate. To keep this post from going long, just know that everything on both plates were tasty and tender. I would forgo the crispy wonton because it was cold and the hot tea-- not sure what that was. Service was friendly and attentive and the food took longer than most Chinese restaurants to come out....which we appreciated (oddly). It's not a big restaurant and looks like it's had its days, but food and service were on point.

Lesson #1: If my friend/neighbor @Paul C posts repeated visits to a place, and likes it, GO eat there! I think I may have mentioned something to the same effect in the past. Lagoon Chinese Restaurant is located in the airport area, and unfortunately is currently situated in a high construction area. This may or may not be to their benefit--I bet the construction crews have figured out how good their food is, and have given them good business. But it might not be as good for others trying to avoid the headaches. I've only been there a couple of times, but I feel like it's worth it. Located at the front of a small motel or apartment building (I'm not really sure which), Lagoon has a pretty unassuming front, but as soon as you go inside, you'll see that it's a bustling Chinese restaurant. Both times I've been there, they seem to do a much higher takeout business than eat-in, but they do have a clean, brightly lit dining room, too. There are high ceilings and the white walls and ceiling make it feel very cheery. Most importantly, service is efficient, friendly, and the food is tasty and portions are generous. The menu is extensive and you can get all of the regular local Chinese favorites, including a mixed plate. But you can also get less Chinese local favorites such as hamburger steak, hamburgers, bbq chicken burger, and breakfast all day including our favorite Spam! Our last visit took place after we caught an island-hopper plane into HNL, so it was nice to have a convenient place to grab some good dinner, but if you're in the area for whatever reason, I recommend trying Lagoon Chinese Restaurant out. Even if you're not in the area, make a special trip. There is street parking as well as a few spots in the lot. I think the construction has slowed down in that area, as well.

Thank you Paul C for the great recommendation and chance to try a new Chinese restaurant! Located near the airport and new rail station, this casual neighborhood Chinese place is attached to a hotel that has a 70s motel feel. Reasonable prices, generous portions, friendly polite service, with a menu that includes most of your local Cantonese favorites. Food is fresh and clean tasting without an MSG taste and it came out right away! Normally I star the items I enjoyed over the others to remember what to order next time. Tonight I starred everything! *Roast Pork *Bittermelon beef with black bean *Beef stew *Choy sum with oyster sauce *Eggplant and tofu *Seaweed soup There was a constant flow of people coming in and out with some doing take out. Pretty sure we'll be coming back ! Perfect for meals before or after a flight. 5 stars for good value!

Believe it or not this was my first time ever going to Lagoon Chinese Restaurant (LCR). I've heard of this restaurant for ever, but never made it there until now. Me and my Air Guard buddies met up for some drinks, ono food and camaraderie. We ordered family style. We started with some Kirin beer since I couldn't find any Tsing Tao beer. Also, this place is byob. We ordered Crispy Chicken, Beef Broccoli, Mini Chicken Cake Noodles all $13.50 each, Honey Walnut Shrimp $16.50 and Shrimp Fried Rice $12.99. Everything we ordered was bomb A. S.!!! (A Marks Kitchen in Fresno reference). There were four of us, and we were unable to eat everything. Great food for a reasonable price. Parking is on the street, but they said we can also park at the hotel in which the restaurant is situated. Service was awesome local style service. Gonna come back here time-and-time again.

One of my favorite Chinese Restaurant, always a bonus when I get to dine at Lagoon, due to location, timing, & the business hours. I wish they close later for dinner and sometimes out of the the way for us depending on the situation. I've been to Lagoon many times with Foodie Yelp Friends, my family, the other half, with my mom and sometimes do take out for family dinner. Another bonus is Lagoon Chinese Restaurant is part of the Lam's Kitchen family, so if you want Lam's and don't want to deal with driving to Chinatown, this is win win and can go to Lagoon instead. The service is great as well, I would like to share my most recent experience, my daughter was here for a long layover and she requested for Chinese food, since Lagoon is near the airport and we only had 45 mins to dine. I called in my order ahead and when we arrived we got our food, we were able to eat, pay, pack up & leave within time frame. The waitress was nice & helpful with all our request ( tea, water, bowls, plates, extra chopstick, spoons, & order of 2 rice cake to go) For this visit we got the beef brisket look fun noods, crispy gau gee cake noodle, & the Thursday special of roast duck. We all enjoyed it and so yummy, my daughter sure miss look fun, cake noodle & roast duck. I created my own combo and ate the duck with look fun soup & cake noodle. The duck was crispy and love that they separated gau gee so it won't get soggy, wow, I think this is the first time trying the gau gee and I loved it! Tasty! Lagoon Chinese Restaurant is a hidden gem for sure, I can't wait to visit again for our next Chinese meal, truly love and enjoyed all of the entrees I've tried here, oh and the portion and prices- Wow, can't complain there!

**Cold ginger chicken!** Best ever tasted because the sauce is super yummy! With take out, the leftover sauce can be used for other foods. *Crispy gau gee was really good! Crispy. Seasoned filling & not skimpy. Wasn't a fan of the pan fried cake noodles because it wasn't crispy since was covered in sauce. Next time will get chow mein to save the $3 upcharge. Rail construction has progressed & did not hinder access to the restaurant.
