![5]( "Recensione")
Only on this night have I ever seen parking so light in Market City, and that was mostly because many of the restaurants and cafes were closed for Chinese New Year. Certainly, I was looking forward to eating some Chinese cuisine tonight and was hoping Anytime was open. The name speaks for itself, and although I'm not sure why it's called Anytime Cafe it was sure open and welcoming.
I had been here one other time, and I have to admit its been nearly two years having went there with another good friend. My friend suggested Panda. However, I told him we should get real Chinese and so we went.
The place was fairly empty on arrival as was the last time I went. It's all in timing, because it eventually filled up both times. I suppose you could say between first dinner and second dinner. Anyway, it did not take long to order and get our meals. The longest part was deciding. They have a pretty interesting selection of Italian, American and Hong Kong Chinese cuisine. Of course, I went for the obvious choice and got the pork chop on fried rice with a side of celery soup both two things I normally don't order. They both were quite delicious, much like the unagi I had last time.
This place does not disappoint when it comes to the food or portions. The prices are a bit higher than many places (not nearly as high as over priced PF Changs) but ever bit as worth the cost of the entire experience from eating to the service.
The dessert is also pretty stellar. However, this time my friend and I decided we were already pretty content with just the meals and thought it maybe better to wait another time. (We were stuffed).
This place is truly a hidden gem in Honolulu. Located in a hard to find shopping center where Kapiolani meets the H1 in the parking lot between Foodland and Longs you will find this cozy little cafe tucked into the corner of this strip mall. I found this place on a Tuesday afternoon and had lasagna for lunch. The menu is so large they have almost anything you need, any time of the day hence the name "Anytime Cafe. They have a wide variety of foods. The Chinese food is delicious and authentic Hong-Kong style. Plenty of room nice friendly staff and very quick service. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch dinner or and any time meal.
Very nice chinese Hong Kong style restaurant. It is a gem in Honolulu. 80 to 90% authentic, compared to Toronto.
Wonton prawn noodle was delicious. The egg noodles were just springy enough and the wonton was soft.
This is a really interesting place. It’s an Hong Kong style cafe with Chinese and Italian dishes. I come here for the chicken rice when I can’t bother riding all the way to the Vietnamese restaurants in Chinatown for it. The sauces for their chicken rice are very good. I also love the thick toast with condensed milk and waffles, very good evening dessert. Their drinks are also very good too.
Excellent place for casual dining. So many choices of delish favorites. Place our order for their special bone in pork chop with mushroom gravy in advance of our arrival as takes long time to cook. Huge, juicy and tender. Always end up eating only half, unless our son is with us, who will polish it off after scarfing his own good sized New York steak with demi glace sauce. Staff extremely cordial, prices reasonable and parking not so bad.
They serve a great variety of dishes but when I go it’s always the baked spaghetti/ rice dishes, classic “cha chan teng” food. I don’t mess with other western/local dishes. That’s not their forte. I would love to go back more often but close to $20 for one baked pork chop fried rice is pretty steep.
Their food is always fresh and tasty. They make delicious creamy soups. There are so many items on their menu to choose from including Italian and Chinese dishes. They also make their own tiramisu.
I enjoyed the appetizers ordered by our host, spring rolls, deep fried battered calamari, my entree was the excellent oxtail soup! Best yet tasted on this Island! The plantation Ice Tea was excellent, served in a huge cocktail glass!
Had a quick snack the corned beef and egg sandwich was surprisingly good!
