A Kalihi Staple for Busy Days

Located right in the heart of the Kalihi district, this spot serves as a reliable pitstop for those navigating the North School Street corridor. If you are rushing between errands in Honolulu or looking for a fast, predictable meal before heading toward the airport, this location provides the familiar, high-energy environment you expect. The air inside carries the distinct, sweet-and-savory scent of glazed meats and steaming jasmine rice that marks every kitchen in the chain.

Menu Staples and Quick Bites

The kitchen keeps the assembly line moving with efficiency. Most locals duck in here for the iconic Orange Chicken—crispy, wok-fired pieces tossed in that signature citrus-infused sauce—paired with a side of chow mein or super greens. It is a straightforward experience meant for people who value speed. You will often find a steady hum of local chatter and the persistent sound of metal spatulas hitting hot woks, a rhythm that defines the lunch rush here.

Practical Dining in Honolulu

Keep in mind that this corner of Kalihi gets quite bustling during peak hours. The parking lot can be a tight squeeze, requiring a bit of patience as vehicles transition in and out of the flow of traffic. It is best suited for takeout or a quick seat at the counter when you need to fuel up without the fuss of a formal sit-down meal. Whether you are grabbing a plate to take to a nearby park or refueling for the drive ahead, this location maintains the consistent, no-frills standard that makes it a convenient choice for island residents and commuters alike.

I waited 10 minutes for them to cook an entree then gave me the wrong items. How hard is it to read the order and put the correct items on the plate. Open the box on the highway and had to return to get a refund.

Pandaʻs is great for REAL food (not junk food) thats fast, yet still offers healthy delicious options. But at Kamʻs the bathroom door is on lockdown now and requires a keycode = so pay attention when they tell it to you, because it can be tricky for newbs. ALSO sometimes they forget to offer fortune cookies and chopsticks and hot sauce, unless you ask them. AND if theyʻre busy: the soda machine, the trash cans, and the napkins could all use help. But at least they keep the place clean.

One of my favorite places to go for takeout orders. Only because they have little room for dine in. My main order is the Extra large plate. So I usually always order the Extra fried rice, Honey walnut shrimp and the new Spicy honey chicken which isn't spicy at all but it beats out the orange chicken any day if you try it. And my side on the Extra large plate is an extra order of the Honey chicken in a box instead of it being put on my plate because I like to eat it later I mix it in with at home. My secret mix?💙 I've pretty much tried most that you can choose from and this is what I buy 99 percent of the time I go there for a take out for dinner. It's Soo Onolisish!!! I never buy a drink from them because it's more expensive than other places and I usually don't drink soda anymore so I buy my drink from somewhere else. I only have eaten inside once and it was because me and my bff were running around shopping in that area that day. I would love to order the family meal or a bunch or large takeout boxes but find that it is very expensive buying that way and the extra large plate is very reasonable to me. I can usually eat the large plate myself but my service dog loves the chicken also. Mahalo and Aloha

Great for body builders and fitness enthusiasts. Teri Chicken with super greens and brown rice one of many high protein, low calorie meal options. I would not be able to nearly as easily maintain my physique and progress towards my goals without pandas to help me in a pinch!

NO STARS should also be an option. Kams shopping center DISAPPOINTS AGAIN.I always do big orders. Usually 2 or more party pans with a regular size plate with sides paying extra fee for the honey walnut shrimp and this is the bulletin they leave me with. This is my first BAD REVIEW even though this location let's me down multiple times. 🤭🤬😡😤😩
