First time trying this restaurant for dim sum. We eat alot of authentic chinese dim sum from our home town of Vancouver, Canada and Fook Lum just does not match the same taste or quality.

We had the shrimp dumplings, siu mai, chicken feet, beef balls, shrimp and chive dumpling, fried taro empanadas, and the soft tofu with syrup. Every savory item is $5.50 except for the tofu which was $7.
The only tasty item was the fried taro empanadas while everything else was not that good. There were only 3 little chicken feet in one order. The hot sweet tofu was not silky smooth at all.

I would say so far the best dim sum in HNL that we have tried is the Kapiolani Seafood but their prices are $6.50 each order vs $5.50 each here at Fook Lum. Imho, I think a dollar more per item is worth it when the food tastes much better at Kapiolani Seafood.

DELICIOUS. We came as a very large group and the staff were so accommodating. We had tea and 10 courses! Every single dish we ordered was amazing. Don’t forget to order the custard bread!

We visited Honolulu and our local Chinese friends took us to this restaurant. Very authenic dim Sum and Good Chow Fun and Chow mein.If you park at the closby parking garage, yu can get a parking stamp for free parking. Yo can also feed the meters.

We arrived at the closing time (an hour earlier than Google listed). The dim sum was OK. Service was kind of pushy trying to get you to pick more dim sum dishes and full meals then was really needed for a full meal.

We had dim sum here in February, 2021, in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic. The servers were all wearing face masks, and the tables were spaced apart appropriately. We are very fond of dim sum, and we thought that the food was quite good. The siu mai were particularly good, as were the har gow. The dining room is not fancy, but the dim sum here is very good.
