About HUA WICK Cuisine

Located in the Kingplaza mall — a short drive from downtown Oranjestad and the cruise port. Open daily for lunch (11:30am-4pm) and dinner (5-10pm) except Thursdays (closed). Family-run, intimate, and clearly built for repeat customers — multiple reviewers mention coming back every Aruba trip. Clean, no-frills setting; the focus is the food.

Signature Dishes & What to Order

Don’t miss the wonton soup (called ‘the best’ by reviewers). The chicken fried rice has a loyal following. Sushi is fresh and well-prepared. Portions are notably generous — easy to share. The Chinese side of the menu leans authentic Cantonese rather than Americanized takeout style.

What Diners Say

4.2 stars from a small but consistent set of reviews. Common praise: authentic Chinese flavors, generous portions, friendly family operation, and value pricing. Repeat-visitor commentary stands out — this is the kind of place travelers add to their annual return list. Worth the off-strip detour for a casual sit-down meal.

Practical details worth knowing

Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt, which is why the weather here stays reliable when much of the Caribbean does not. The island runs on the US dollar alongside the Aruban florin, so American visitors rarely need to change money, and English is spoken almost everywhere alongside Dutch, Papiamento and Spanish.

Distances are short. The island is roughly 32 kilometres long and 10 wide, so nothing is more than about 40 minutes from anywhere else. Most visitors base themselves on Palm Beach or Eagle Beach and reach the rest of the island by tour or rental car.

When to go

Rates and crowds peak from January through April. May to early December is quieter and noticeably cheaper, with calmer seas and the same near-constant sunshine. Rainfall stays low year-round, and what does fall tends to arrive as brief afternoon showers rather than washed-out days.

Booking ahead

Tours sell out faster than hotels here. Reserve 24 to 48 hours ahead in low season and three to five days ahead in peak months, particularly for catamaran sails and sunset cruises. Most bookings cancel free up to 24 hours before, so there is little downside to locking something in early.
