Hong Kong Chop Suey - CAPTAIN COOK

Very fresh, not greasy, fast and friendly Chinese food up mauka! Takeout only, big parking lot. Accepts credit cards. Called in order at 5:15pm on a weekday night and it was ready to be picked up in 15 minutes. We ordered fried pork hash dumplings, Crispy gau gee mein with cake noodles, Ma Po Tofu, eggplant and pork in garlic sauce, lemon chicken, and shrimp fu young. Pork hash is something I've never encountered outside of Hawai'i and the fried version was different and tasty. Inside the perfectly fried exterior is a mixture of mostly pork and a little chopped water chestnut for crunch. The shrimp fu young had lots of finely chopped cabbage inside the egg which I appreciated and there was enough shrimp. Tasted like my childhood. Eggplant and pork in garlic sauce was very yummy. The eggplant was fresh, garlic sauce had a nice light flavor and the pork was soft and tender. Ma Po Tofu wasn't the best I ever had but it checked all the boxes. Nice flavor and spice and not super oily like at other places. Doesn't come with rice so be sure to order it separately. They didn't separate the cake noodles which was disappointing because they were all soft by the time we ate, however the overall taste of the dish made up for it. I liked the large variety of fresh veggies and the fried gau gee is always meaty fried goodness. The lemon chicken was the only dish I would not order again. The chicken was a little tough and the lemon sauce was very artificial (orange in color and didn't taste like lemon).

Very good place to eat if you're looking for some Chinese food on the big island. Portion sizes and prices are comparable to those on the main land. Flavor is a little on the light side, but still not bad. All in all, a good place for dinner, dine in or carry out. Note: food items are just that; there's no combo platters that I saw. Pictured are orange chicken, crispy chicken, fried wonton, egg roll, beef broccoli, and pork fried rice.

Great food! Not very greasy. We always end up ordering their crispy chicken, highly recommended. Lots of veggies.

Holy cow!! This place is freaking amazing. The best Chinese food I've ever had ,I live five minutes away now,so if you show up,I might be here. Thanks Hong Kong chop suey
