Sum Leung Chinese Kitchen

The lemon chicken is EXACTLY what I think of when I want comfort food. The prices are excellent and the staff are some of the friendliest Hilo locals I have ever met. They can do bulk orders for events too.

Not many times have I found Chinese food to be tasteless. This place has such bland rice and lo mein there wasn’t much you could do to help it. The sweet and sour pork spare ribs had more bone in them than meat and that yellow thing you thought was pineapple was actually a piece of fat. Yummy! I would not recommend this place.

I’ve been coming here ever since I was 5 years old. The food has been consistent time and time again! Convenient location, affordable and most of all… really really awesome!
Whether you’re ordering from the steam table or menu, don’t matter it’s a win-​win situation. My favorite!

I love this place that no one can beat it for sure. They catered my wedding back in 2010, just enough food 2 pans each of my favorites that was less then 3K. I eat there all the time and back in the day was always the spot. Only bad thing was whatever we had left over that we didn’t touch which was still in the pan was spoiled the next day.

Too much MSG and got food poisoning. This place is filthy and crawling with roaches.

stopped in for dinner take out and the girl behind the counter at first ignored me as she took a phone order first. As I waited for her to finish, I checked an email on my phone, when she came over and I did not notice her, so the girl said «Sir?» No Hi, or may I help you etc. I placed my order and she made it. nothing special. Ive had better service elsewhere.
Food was okay. Ive had better.

Never knew Hawaii’s Chinese food was different from the mainland till I left for college and ordered lemon chicken for the first time. Hawaii style is a super crispy and light cornstarch batter, similar to katsu with a pretty thin lemon sauce. Everywhere else seems to be thick almost pancake batter w a nasty looking goopy lemon sauce — usually it’s their sweet and sour chicken w different sauce.
Cake noodle as we know it also seems to be a regional thing. There’s one Hawaii style Chinese place in Vegas with really good gau gee mein cake noodle but their lemon chicken is nothing compared to leungs. Plate lunch at leungs is always one of my first stops in Hilo. All the food is good, but I’ve always been obsessed w their lemon chicken.
Unfortunately their manapua and pork hash isn’t nearly as good as it used to be. Ever since 711 switched to this different crappy brand a few years ago ive been looking for another good manapua place — any suggestions would be appreciated.

Won ton mein. Holy smokes. My husband, who’s family lives in Honomu, brought me to this place just because it happened to be close to where we were snorkeling, and he remembered liking it. It’s nothing fancy to look at, located in what’s basically a strip mall, but I ended up ADDICTED. We were in Hawaii for a total of 12 days, and I made him bring me back for the won ton mein no less than five times. They also have excellent manapua. I can’t vouch for any of the other items, since I love the won ton mein too much to order anything else, but I can vouch for the good prices and the large portions.

Good size servings, quick service, and cheap prices. Standard chinese take out format with a steam table.
Grew up eating the pork tofu, baby corn, and char siu. The rice and noodles are well made and consistent in taste and texture.
Great stop for lunch or a quick dinner.

Good lemon chicken, young corn and pork eggplant. Decent prices and large-​enough servings.
