Chong Qing Cuisine
Welcome to Chong Qing Cuisine, where authentic flavors of Chongqing come alive in the heart of Honolulu, Hawaii. Located at 1738 S King St #101, this culinary gem offers an array of traditional dishes, each crafted with care and authenticity. From the moment you step through the doors, the charming ambiance transports you straight to the bustling noodle shops of China.
One of the standout features of Chong Qing Cuisine is their signature noodles. Dishes like the 三鲜面 Vegetable Noodle with Pork Broth provide a warm and comforting experience, allowing you to adjust the spice level to your liking, whether you prefer a gentle hint of heat or a fiery kick. The crispy vegetables paired with tender pork drenched in a rich broth for US$16.99 makes for a satisfying meal. Similarly, the 麻婆豆腐面 Mapo Tofu Noodle offers a spicy sensation with a unique twist, as it comes with the option of including or omitting peanuts, catering to various dietary preferences for US$15.99.
But it’s not just about the noodles here. The entrees shine equally bright, with dishes like 麻婆饭 Mapo Tofu on Rice, where soft tofu meets a boldly flavored bean-based sauce, served with a lovely sunnyside-up egg on fragrant white rice for US$15.99. If you're in the mood for something stir-fried, consider the 炒米粉 Fried Rice Noodles, beautifully tossed with tender chicken and fresh green onions for US$18.99.
The spiced braised selections are also a must-try, especially the 五香鸡爪 Five Spiced Braised Chicken Feet, which packs a punch of flavors at US$17.49 while maintaining a unique texture. Additionally, the 五香牛肉 Braised Beef for US$17.99 features tender meat seasoned perfectly to complement the accompanying fresh greens and dipping sauces.
- Customer Favorites: Feedback from enthusiastic patrons consistently highlights the quality of dishes like the green pepper double cooked pork dry noodle and the ideal mapo tofu, both of which boast genuine flavors and ample portions.
- Personal Experience: As a food reviewer, I must emphasize the restaurant's flexibility in ingredient choices and spiciness, allowing diners to tailor their experience. Many reviews celebrated the fragrant quality and perfect seasoning of the meals.
Chong Qing Cuisine is a testament to the rich, authentic style of Sichuan cooking. With its focus on vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, and friendly service, it justifiably garners rave reviews. However, be prepared: seating is limited, making it wise to plan your visit during off-peak hours. Nevertheless, the wait is often worth it, and many patrons express their desire to return time and again.
So next time you find yourself in Honolulu, take a trip to Chong Qing Cuisine and immerse yourself in a culinary journey that captures the soul of Chongqing. You won’t be disappointed!

“ This is a real gem for those who like decent Chongqing styled noodles. The house rice noodle is very tasty if you don’t know what yo order. I tried its green pepper with pork dry noodle and it was excellent. It’s just as good if not better than the best ones I had back in California. The noodles were cooked just right and the flavor of the green pepper and pork was on point. The only minor issues were that there were a bit too much pork and the strips are a bit too big. The best part, you can pick your own spiciness level, unlike in Chongqing where there’s only one level of spiciness: burning spicy. The chef recommended the pork intestine noodles, which I will definitely try on my next visit. The service was friendly and attentive. The sitting area and its ambience reminded me of tiny noodle shops in China, but much cleaner. Highly recommended. ”
“ The green pepper double cooked pork dry noodle was amazing! Love the fragrance in the dish. Every single noodle dish comes with unique taste! Definitely will come again ”
“ I had the impression that I had reviewed this restaurant in the past, but it turns out I hadn’t. Since it’s one of your favorite and best restaurants in Honolulu, I felt compelled to review it again. We’ve been visiting this place since its opening, and the food has never failed to impress us. It’s incredibly delicious and authentic. We make sure to stop by whenever we visit Hawaii. ”
“ Very good taste with flexible ingredient and not too much MSG. Highly recommend. However, don’t think it’s worth waiting for more than 30min. It’s a super small Shop. Their waiting system is something to be desired - an online waiting room would be super helpful. ”
“ This is the ideal authentic mapo tofu I've had so far. Great balance of flavors from its sweetness, distinct soybean paste, the mala spice and the gravy consistency. With that combination it is addicting! They rate the spicyness level 4 stars and i have to agree that its very spicy, lot of fresh chilis were used in here. I recommend adding ground pork with it to add extra protein! For under 20 is a good deal especially in Hawai'i and it is quite filling! Ordering was very easy, Scan QR, order on the site and it comes in very quick! Warning though! Seating is very limited its a small cute shop. With my family I tried their dishes and they were pretty authentic stir fries. the pork & pepper dish is seasoned well and the portion is huge. The soup dishes has a nice fragrance and balance flavors. Our server was great! She helped looked through the menu and answered every question we had and was very patient with us. ”
“ Order by app. Space is small, like a neighborhood vibe. Service is friendly and accommodating. Order these and thank me later: 1. Dry Double Cooked Pork (flat noodles or rice) 2. Wu Wei Spicy Beef Noodle (the beef!) 3. Booed Fish with Pickled Cabbage (broth) 4. Shredded Pork Green Pepper 5. Any noodle soup ”
“ 2025 edit: Still loving this place and made it the first stop in this stay for 5 days. Amazing as always. ———————————— 2023 edit: Was in Waikiki for only 3 days. But been to this noodle place twice!! Can’t recommend more. ——————- Great service. Good amount of food selections. Good food quality. Chili oil was supper spicy. I kept coming back every time I came to visit Honolulu. Best noodle house in town. ”
“ Surprisingly really good coming from living near San Gabriel Valley, CA. Very generous portions with lots of flavor. The seating was pretty limited but I'd definitely go back if I was craving noodles. The price was also very reasonable. ”
