    Very good lunch experience. The Server was very good and friendly but the manager looking lady was not very appropriate. ⁡ She was talking people on the phone followed by video calls as if she was at her home. Very loud and the volume everyone could hear the conversation as a noise. ⁡ She literally threw one set of menu as she walked by without saying anything when we were seated. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, but the call was more important I guess. I would have put five star review for the food and the server if it wasn’t the manager’s attitude

    I love this place! The food is delicious and the service is amazing. It is a little bit pricey, but you really get what you pay for and the quality is top notch. We got the Bulgogi and Octopus Hot Pot. Everything was delicious including the sides. When we asked for more sides, they actually brought an ample amount. This is a great place for large parties too. We did not have a chance to try the BBQ, but if the bulgogi is any indication of the beef quality, then it is going to be so good. Again, the staff and owners are very responsive and so kind and caring. Free Parking is in the rear of the building just past the Panda Express (off S. King).

    We placed a to go order of Fried Mandu, Seafood Pancake, Kalbi, Korean Style Bulgolgi, and Kalbi Tang. This would not be our top Korean place to choose from but it was not horrible. The lady who took our order was friendly. Parking was good. Came with traditional sides of seaweed, bean sprouts, kimchee, fish cakes, radish, and crab/brocoli salad.

    The restaurant is not pretentious and overpriced, which is perfect when you are craving for affordable and great tasting Korean food. There are a lot of non meat options for pescatarians and vegetarians. The banchan is generous and the sweet servers will give you more if they see that you enjoyed them. The seafood pancake is one of the best I'd had in Oahu and I also liked that they provided options to have bibimbab with meat or not, and to be served in a normal bowl or a stone bowl so you can enjoy the crust that will form at the bottom of the rice. It's great to bring large groups for gatherings so you can take share the bbq or hotpot options.

    This restaurant had true Korean food - their gul-kimch was especially good. I really wanted to eat Korean-Korean food, not Americanized Korean food after three weeks long business trip, then found this restaurant. I think their food was appealing to other people as well because most of the customers were non-Korean. The owner was nice enough to refill all side dishes multiple times!

    Best yakiniku I've had in a long time! The meats were succulent and juicy off the grill, and the staff was super fun & friendly. I promise that you won't leave hungry!

    Waitress, old lady with glasses wasn’t satisfied with the tip I gave them and demanded more. Service was terrible! Took tongs right in the middle of bbqing and meat ended up too burned. Took a while for them to come back and helped us. Food is expensive compared to other Yakiniku places nearby.

    Go to place for authentic Korean BBQ. Pricy so prepare to pay.

  • 4/5 Tommy S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is great, especially the meat jun. Prices have gone up significantly in the last couple years though. The lunch specials went from $13-15 to $18-23. Still with going here, but it's no longer a great value.

    Great tasting Korean food. A hidden Diamond in the city. Easily missed if thou weren't looking for it. We were guests of some friends and will be back with our own guests!

    Great banchan selections and service is always attentive and good. My favorite is to get the beef tongue, marinated kalbi, kalbi inner meat, and the wagyu beef. Tonight I’m eating solo so the next best dish for me is the seafood green onion jun.

    Service is extremely slow - we waited a long time for everything and had to ask four times to get the bbq plate changed. Prob because we have a large group and have to pay the auto tip, the waitresses just ignored us.

    Worst service ever! I had to call the sever more than 10 times because the griddle was burning. They never came and I had to let it burn. I went to the front to pay and of course had to wait to pay. I couldn’t leave any tip. I didn’t get any service. This is first time ever.
