Kukui Cafe - Honolulu

This café is a charming little hidden gem that serves genuine food and drinks from Hong Kong. It's not fancy, just a super casual spot. I've visited three times while visiting from out of state. If you're a fan of wontons, you'll love their authentic wontons served in a homemade bone broth soup with baby bok choy. They also have a delicious beef noodle soup, among other great options! Their drinks are impressive as well. The breakfast and breakfast sandwiches (which come without crusts) are fantastic too! Plus, the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Chinatown area (it's located on Cultural Street).

This restaurant is perfect for breakfast. The prices are reasonable, with coffee costing $2 for hot and $3.50 for cold. They also offer a variety of Chinese dessert drinks. You need to order and pay upfront, and then you can take your food to your table. There's parking available at the back and on the street, with the first 30 minutes being free for rear parking. The place has around 8-10 tables, so seating can be limited during busy hours.

The service is quick and friendly. You pick up your order right at your car, parked in front of the restaurant on the side street. The portion sizes are large and absolutely delicious.

It is a cozy place that can seat about 25 persons only, more like a take out restaurant. It is the Hong Kong style food that attract me, especially the Milk Tea. I ordered the Tea, Red Bean Ice which is one of my favorite and Corned Beef egg sandwich. Tea was good, Red Bean Ice was pretty standard, the Sandwuch was not up to my expectation, I think the butter flavor.

If you're a fan, they offer authentic wontons in their homemade bone broth soup with baby bok choy, as well as beef noodle soup—both are delicious! Their drinks are also quite impressive. The breakfast and breakfast sandwiches (which are crust-free) are tasty as well. The menu is very affordable. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Chinatown area!
