One faithful Sunday morning, after doing a quick grocery run with Chan, I offered up a drive to Chinatown to get some GRUB. Had a hankering for some beef noodles even in the hot Hawaiian summer heat. We parked in my favorite municipal lot and headed out. Lam’s Kitchen is super busy all the time but guess what, it ain’t busy before 8AM lol. We were the only 1 of 2 diners that morning. They did however have a lot of Chinese folks walking in and out of the shop for their takeout orders.
Chinese Doughnut Stick | $3.00
One of Chan’s favorite dishes and it was nice and crispy here too. We didn’t have jook today but it is nice dipped into the noodle broth too!
Beef Flank & Tendon Mein with Won Ton $18.99
I made Chan order his with won ton so I could just have one or two (mwahaha) and it was so much food, Chan could hardly finish his bowl even after giving me wonton. He got his with the skinny mein noodles.
Beef Flank & Tendon Look Fun | $14.50
Look fun is always good and Lam’s makes it very well. I got all confused in my mind that morning and was feeling like lai fun. I don’t know why I’ve been hankering for lai fun lately and I hardly see restaurants carrying it, let me know if you know of a good lai fun joint. Anyway, lai fun is kind of like udon noodles but a bit skinnier and not as soft. Anyway, this dish was good as always! Can’t beat a classic!
Noodle Pull!

Looks good! Thanks for the parking info. Shared it with my siblings.
I ordered brisket with chow fun (gravy style) from Lagoon Chinese Restaurant (they’re related) but had so much beef and noodles left over, I made a broth next day and finished it up. I almost ordered with won ton too but that’s a lot of food!
Then on Friday, I wanted to eat Jook in this heat but maybe I really wanted the doughnut, LOL, but when I called Lam’s, they were sold out! ??? How can???
BTW, Kevin’s Kitchen is soooo busy, my boss wanted to taste the duck but they told him over an hour wait for a table and 45 minutes for a take out Thursday evening. So, he told me to order duck, roast pork and charsiu for our happy hour on Friday because I kept telling him how the duck was one of the best in town.
They sell out early too so have to order early to make sure they reserve the meats for you, even for dine in! My boss loved the food. He didn’t like the gon lo mein. Said it was too dry, but I liked it.
We love the duck from Kam’s in Oahu Market, just past Fongs too
Lams Kitchen seems to be getting busier and busier. We ended going to the Vietnamese place a few door up because of it. I love their look fun. It used to be $1/lb, now it is $2.25/lb. I stir fry it with spam and onions.
sounds like a great place with lots of food!
