    Really tasty Korean food, my friends and I had the best time here! The Basque burnt cheesecake was amazing and so was everything else! They had very helpful and caring staff! The owner was a very sweet lady, if I lived in Honolulu I would definitely be a regular here!

    The restaurant looks unassuming but it is definitely a gem. The store front looks like it has very limited seating but they will take you back to a cute patio lit with string lights for a nice ambience. The menu constantly changes with interesting options and lots of plant based vegan dishes which are clearly marked and helps people in making their choices. All the food were innovative and fun, we had the vegan mandoo and it came with a cubed soy sauce hello which elevated our dining experience. All the dishes were well plated and tasted even more amazing. I had black fish and chips, it was so yummy I forgot to take a picture, and I take pictures of everything!

    This was our first stop after landing in Honolulu and I’m very glad we started our trip here. The food was amazing, the meat was cooked so well and the portions are very big. The patio was very peaceful and well decorated. I’d come back if I’m ever in Honolulu again!

    Fantastic Korean Restaurant! The menu is very original, and the taste of dishes is very rich and enjoyable! Cheese Tonkatsu is mouth-watering, it is really the best dish for cheese lovers. I definitely recommend to try it. Bibimbab in stone pot is yummy, very rich in taste, there is a lot of vegetables and mushrooms. It is served with the soup, which is savory and piquant. I was impressed by the taste of dishes here, and recommend to visit this restaurant 100%. Also, I want to emphasize the service, everything was professionally and quick!

    Landed late at HNL and came here to eat mid-afternoon. They offered to sit on the patio (need to walk past the kitchen) and it reminded me of Kauai as we were greeted by some chickens. The menu was innovative and appealing. We tried the black fish & chips, Korean chicken, pork belly and Kalbi steak. The presentation = 5 stars; the food = 4.5 stars; the service = 4 stars, value for money = 4 stars.

    The seat was too small and I had to squeeze in. Except this, everything was very nice. I like the bibimpah with spicy chicken, perfectly seasoned and cooked. Very fresh!! And the staffs are very friendly.

    Tried a new place tonight on the recommendation of a friend, and it didn't disappoint! If you know me, you know I don't like salmon, but I thought it interesting to find salmon on the menu at a Korean restaurant. Since I love Korean food, I thought I'd give it a chance figuring I'd trade for my Mom's Bi Bim Bap if I didn't care for it. Well, it was outstanding! I couldn't even tell it was salmon. I can't remember exactly how it was garnished other than it had seaweed and panko, but it's a definite must try! And then, check out our tiramisu in a 4" ceramic pot made to look like a plant! Oh, and I can't forget the truffle mandoo with daikon and shoyu gel. Wow! That dish was broke da mouth! This place was phenomenal!

    Food was delish and the portions were big. Be sure to check it out if you’re craving good Korean food. The patio in the back is cute, but small. Make reservations cause it gets pretty busy!

    Truffle Mushroom Mandoo is so light and crispy. Try the pork jowl and korean chicken. You get salad with your order choice of black sesame or lemon mayo dressing. Take a botyle home its so good.

    Was an unpleasant Christmas Eve dinner 2022 Ambience- We were seated on patio next to a rubbish bin and old dishes (see photos). On top of this, the staff were busy cleaning and washing the pots and pans … 5 feet from us. Service - we wished our server was kinder and more patient.. we were referring to dishes’ photos on Open Table and asking her what were their names on the menu.. she was replying loud and showed signs of impatience ( we were there at 845pm and restaurant was not crowded) Food- it was fusion but not quite Korean non American …

    This place has probably the best food we’ve ever tried, Korean or otherwise. Fried chicken was fantastic

    Favorite Take Out Korean Food in Honolulu. Great Value, creative, unique , almost 'fusion' Korean food. They have Vegan and non Vegan options 🙂✨! Every dish I've ordered here is delicious, even the soft drinks!😋 Must try😋

    Honestly one of the best meals I have ever eaten, the food was delicious and authentic!! The outdoor seating is lovely and all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! It's worth going out of your way to eat here, we'll definitely be back!

    Solid restaurant in hotel Westin. Had dinner at the Bar…. Our bartender Pedro speaks great English and is a very talented mixologist. Had two of their signature cocktails, the sunset and blue.. both good. Service was ok. My wife had the salmon, we shared the fish and chips!!! Both were great. I had the Korean truffle burger… is was ok but the patty was under seasoned. All in all very good but on the pricey side of option in Busan. But like most option in a 5 star hotel you are going to pay far more than in the city.

    We had lunch here and although it was busy, the kitchen got food out to us quickly. I was totally blown away at how thoughfully crafted each dish was. And talk about every bite being flavourful, it was!

    Bimbimbap, kalbi, confit pork belly, truffle mandoo as appetizer. We enjoyed the ambience and service. Food was ok.

    Wow! This place was amazing! Have you ever had a meal and were sad because you were too full to finish it? That was me... I did keep leftovers to eat later and honestly, it was still amazing! I highly recommend this place.

    This is one of our favorite places to eat in Chinatown. They have a nice covered space for dining out back, surrounded by vegitation. The food is consistently good and the lemonades are tasty. Highly recommend their staple chicken dish and the brisket fried rice special. Their vegan dumplings, the Truffle Mandoo, could use some dipping sauce as the dish is a bit bland but otherwise no complaints.
