Maple Garden, Honolulu

For more than 30 years, the chefs at Maple Garden Restaurant have sourced recipes from northern China to share authentic Sichuan dishes with hungry visitors. Sichuan cuisine traditionally showcases hot flavors in its many forms, from a mild spice to a peppery kick to just a twinge of passive-aggressiveness. Specialty plates of scallops with hot garlic sauce, peking duck, or diced chicken with button mushrooms can be prepared for relaxed dinners in the restaurant’s dining room or for takeout orders.
