    Food was good. Hostess not the friendliest. I do like that they are open very late if you want a sit down eatery that isn’t fast food.

    Very awkward experience. We suffered a slight language barrier with the hostess. We had a difficult time understanding her explanation of “sharing” Beware, it’s a steep price for the all you can eat Per Person! That said, it’s a cute experience, portions were large. Everything we had tasted great, even our tofu soup.

    This is in a plaza with a bunch of lit restaurants. There's available paid parking in a crowded small space - but usually you'll find something. Sometimes the parking lot manager is chill and you don't have to pay. This AYCE kbbq place wasn't crowded when we got here on a weekday evening, but it filled up later in the night. The meat comes out fast and plentiful, but the service is pretty bad and they also don't give a lot of banchan.

    Decent enough little place, I like the fact the huge doors were open, as the smoke from the grills can get heavy and make it hard to breathe. Not a lot of space, best to make reservations beforehand. Also, parking can be tight, better to park in the Ross garage next door. Food was ok, nothing special. My 3-star review is about two things; one is the cleanliness of the place. It's open 24-hours and it shows. The floor is slippery and you can actually see oil dripping down the walls, which isn't very appetizing when eating. God forbid you lean against the wall in a nice shirt, it will soak up a liter of grease. The other issue I have is the staff adding an automatic "service fee" or tip to the bill. There were three of us, at $31 each, for a total of $93. All I received was a yellow sticky note with $93.00 plus $16.70 for "tip", for a total of $109.70. Is the tax included? I thought it is pretty ballsy to include an 18% tip in the price. When I gave her my card, she ran it and listed it as "service fee". Owners, just charge me for the food, and let me worry about the tip. You want a tip? Clean the grease off the walls.

    Been to this location many times and usually had a really good experience. All you can eat! Friendly staff! However, tonight when I went with a party of 5. There were two serves. A male and a female. When we first walked in we were not greeted and it took awhile for us to get seated. It was not busy either like around 8:30pm. We were just waiting patiently by the cash register by the entrance. Finally got seated and the male and female server were not nice nor did it seem like they want to be at work. Just the vibe they were giving off was not doing it at all. Like I am very minimal, but just the way they acted and took awhile getting things going for us put a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe because I’ve been during the busy hours before and received really good service. The servers were on it. Tonight it seemed like the two servers wanted to get their back of the house chores done first before attending to their customers. Understandable, however we are patrons coming in to give the business money, eat & have a good time. The least they could have done was act like they wanted to be there at work.

    Affordable. Parking is free for first hour then $1 ever 30 minutes. Not alot of variety, but what they do have is great. Beef steak is a bit chewy, so I dont recommend that.

    Service was quick and good. Food was good. Location was a bit tricky to find. You really have to know where it is. We got the recommendation from an Uber driver. Great music playlist in the background. Side dishes (such as glass noodles and kim chi) were also very good.

    Lookey here man...you want some old school Korean BBQ style eats? Then call ahead, make a reservation and don't eat all day. This place is 500 square feet of all you can eat delicious Korean food straight out of Songton City, I swear. It is by far the best all you can eat joint on the island with the kimchi dishes to go with it. It is truly a hole in the wall joint that is in an alley with a line of people to get in. It is small with like only 8 or 10 tables and COVID makes it even smaller. But, this place smacks of flavor and don't forget to BYOB your booze as they don't sell it. This is no frills, down home Korean BBQ which you cook yourself and a must place to visit while in Honolulu.

    All you can eat for $30 is a good deal considering it's Honolulu. We ordered beef steak, short ribs, beef toungue, pork jowl. Side dishes include kimchi, bean sprout, broccoli, and of course steamed rice. Lettuce is extra for $6 per plate. Garlic is free but you have to ask for it. Bean paste is not served. We came at peak dinner hour so the place was hectic. The two waitress were constantly running and bussing. The bathroom is outside of the restaurant and requires a key. Parking is validated but we still have to pay $2 as it's only good for 1 hour.

    I'd like to give them "zero" star. Nothing for compliments, but a lot for cons! This is not a typical all you can eat Korean BBQ. Almost everything except meat has extra charge. And one of staffs was very unfriendly and overcharged. Pls be advised of yourself checking bill. Avoid this place if you don't want to ruin your vacation in paradise!

    Value for money is good. They will keep bringing food out as long as you can eat. We also ate at their restaurant near Pearl City which was a much better dining experience. Being out of downtown, they had a larger restaurant. This one is very cramped.

    First time there and definitely will be the last. First off: We arrived at around 8pm on a Sunday Sept 24 2023, and there was two females (Korean) working with no line to wait for a table. My wife, daughter (2 yr old), and I was waiting to be seated when one of the females (taller one) was cashing out a party of 6. The party of 6 decided to pay separately and we waited at the entrance for the first female to complete their sale. Meanwhile the second female (short one) employee didn't even bother to seat us or acknowledge us. Second: After being seated the taller employee asked for my daughter's age and when I told her that she was two that employee gave us a very awkward stare as if she was going to charge us for my daughter. FYI my daughter did not even eat a single piece of meat instead she ate some of the rice from my only bowl of rice. Third: when it came to ordering meats they only allowed 4 meats at a time but when we would reorder the tall employee would stop us at three meats and place the order without even asking for the 4th choice. Every time the tall employee would bring our orders or switch out the grill, she would slam the plates or grill on our table. Water was never refilled until we had to flag the females down. Last is THE BILL: We only ordered meat and did not order anything else (side dishes or drinks). We only had two bowls of rice total (for wife and I) and the menu on the walls stated that adult price is $29.60. Our BILL came out to $62 with tax included. Not too sure on how it came out to $62 at the most it should have been $61.66. When it came to the tip I decided not to tip them (due to the service that I stated above) and the taller female had the nerve to circle the tip suggestions listed on the credit card receipt. I informed her of my complaint and left the restaurant.

    The meat is pretty decent and service is fast but like others said there wasn’t a lot of sides. We also seemed to get cuts of different meats on our plates like pork cuts when we asked for brisket cuts. The galbi and the bulgogi were pretty good. Though an issue I had was when I paid the lady asked for tip. I tip all the time but to be so upfront was a little pushy in my opinion.

  • 4/5 Matt 1 year ago on Google
    It's good food and perfect for a party. Only exception is that you need a minimum of two people to eat there.

  • 5/5 Will N. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious. I think it cost $30 per person for all you can eat. We got Kalbi, tongue, bulgogi, brisket, and my friends got some pork stuff. It was all excellent. Just need to organize a rotation on who is cooking at any given time! They are ok with you bringing your own drinks

    Fantastic service. Never let my water cup or grill be empty!! Shout-out to the people working there right now!!

  • 5/5 Daimelynn Dasalla-Jaquias (. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little "hole in the wall style" Korean bbq restaurant with unbelievable large servings that you cook yourself! Delicious!! Too bad I didn't take a pic of the pile of meats we cooked up! It is a no frills type of joint but the food Is Amaaazing!!!

  • 1/5 Karina E. 1 year ago on Google
    if I could give negative stars I would, there was a Lack of attentiveness to me and my husband. When we would ask for more sides they didn’t give us, but gave others sides. They were rude and threw a plate on our table when we asked for more sides. Then they were going to charge us for a to go plate and say we were not allowed to take a to go plate, meanwhile they had to go plate & we already paid for our food. We couldn’t help but feel being discriminated for our services compared to other customers. Worst Korean place in Honolulu
