New Mui Kwai Chop Suey (132 Oneawa St 269 Aikahi Pl)

New Mui Kwai Chop Suey, tucked away at 132 Oneawa Street in Kailua, is a beloved local gem that's been dishing out classic Hawaiian-style Chinese comfort food for decades. This family-owned spot has that no-frills, welcoming neighborhood -- perfect for group meals, friendly service, and generous portions that keep locals coming back year after year. The menu is massive, packed with everything from chop suey and egg foo young to sizzling platters and noodle dishes, but two standout specials/options always steal the show for me: the Chinese Chicken Salad and the Cake Noodle dishes. The Chinese Chicken Salad is a refreshing, crowd-pleasing special that's light yet satisfying—crisp greens topped with tender chicken, crunchy noodles, and a tangy dressing that hits all the right notes. It's one of those dishes that feels like a perfect island lunch or side, and diners consistently rave about how fresh and flavorful it is. Great value too, and it's easy to see why it's been a longtime favorite. Then there's the Cake Noodle (also known as crispy pan-fried noodles), which is pure indulgence. The base is a golden, crunchy nest of noodles that softens just enough when topped with savory sauce and your choice of protein or veggies. Whether it's oyster sauce chicken, beef broccoli, or minute chicken over cake noodles, the contrast of crispy and saucy is addictive. Locals often highlight these as must-tries, and for good reason—they're hearty, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not!). Overall, New Mui Kwai delivers that authentic, satisfying Chinese food experience with fresh ingredients and that unmistakable local touch. It's not fancy, but it's reliably delicious—ideal for takeout, family dinners, or a casual meal after a beach day in Kailua. If you're in the area craving real-deal Hawaiian-Chinese eats, this spot won't disappoint. Highly recommend starting with those two amazing options! 🌺🍜

Tried to order online a basic dish, oyster sauce chicken with cake noodle and couldn't. They have banners in front of their restaurant advertising it yet I couldn't order it online. They might want to get a new webmaster. Update: changing my rating to 5 stars. Picked up my order. It was ready when I walked on. Still and friendly lady at the register. I've ordered Oyster Sauce Cake Noodle from here for decades. It was okay but not great. Its my favorite so I kept ordering it. After several years of not going back, today I decided to try again. Wow! It was totally different. Nice meaty pieces of chicken, lots of greens which is usual for every place ive ordered this. Good cake noodles though I prefer them to be a bit more cakey. And an affordable price. Could be the best I've had. Will be back!

🏮Hands down my favourite Chinese restaurant in Kailua. Friendly staff. Fast service for takeout. Delicious food. I've gotten takeout from this place multiple times. The food is consistently fresh. My go to is Singapore noodles (extra Spicy and extra curry). That's my comfort food dish. Occasionally I'd get a beef dish. I've gotten beef on choy, or Mongolian beef. The quality of the food, and portion is way better here compared to other Chinese restaurant in kailua based on what I've tried. One of the uncles who's a chef there is always smiling when I pick up my order. 😊
