Whenever I come here I have the wor ton mein soup, which is a supersized bowl of noodle soup with vegetables, meat, and won ton. There are multiple items on the menu with similar names, so I usually double-check that I'm ordering the one with noodles, vegetables, meat, and won tons all boiled in yummy broth. There is also a version with "gau gee" instead of "won ton," the only difference is that they are a different shape -- their won ton and gau gee actually have the same ingredients. This is addicting to me. It is a special day when I have the time to eat lunch at Leung's. You can also add this Chinese mustard with a true kick, but the taste elevates the whole thing to another level. (I tend to put the tiniest bit on my chopstick with a whole lot of food and need to wash it down with water, but then again I don't really eat spicy food.)
The last time we were here, it seemed like there were a couple of families celebrating graduation from UH-Hilo, which was nice to see. It is a low-key and casual place with good and plentiful food. Seating consists of a couple of booths that can probably seat 6 or 7 people, with a few smaller tables. The building itself is pretty old because it's been there a long time. It is a testament to their good food that this business has been able to survive the ups and downs of economic conditions all these years.
Go early. If parking is full, come back another time. Note that they are closed in Sundays. Service can be slow, so go when you have time, especially if it is crowded and especially if you want something like wor ton mein soup that is made once you order.
I have never been here for dinner. Someday I will also try their other food, but so far I can't seem to tear myself away from that wor ton mein soup.
