    Amazing 24 oz. of heavenly Korean Bingsu (Shave Ice) in Ewa😋😋😋 Helps to beat the Summer heat. This has become one of my favorite Go-to places. We ordered the Mango and Dalgona. There's other flavors, so we must return and try them all 😁 I wish that they were on the Northshore closer to us...They would be warmly welcomed ❤️ Just FYI: Currently, Only their variety of bingsu, chicken and spicy rice cakes are available. Their ice machine was not working today, so they were unable to serve their popular lemonades. And unfortunately, we came when the chef is on vacation (He'll be back after July 17th), so 80% of their menu was unavailable like the Cold Noodle dishes and Meat dishes 😔. Despite it all, I definitely will be back for more especially when the chef returns 😁😋❤️ Hoʻi hou ❤️🤙🏾 Note: seating is outside of the restaurant, so be aware that you'll be exposed to the sun 😎☀️ Sunblock or Suntanning, up to you 😁

    This place is loved by local residents. Even when only take-outs are available under COVID-19 impact, they are still very busy all day long. They serve real home style Korean food/dish. The place is not far from a nice beach.

    Amaaaaazing Korean dining. They no longer use the grills in the center of the tables, but their service and food are excellent. Pictured is the meat combo, I ordered spicy pork and kalbi. Normally they don't do cheese on it, but I asked and I was charged 2 dollars, totally worth it. They will refill the side dishes until you tell them to stop. Absolutely amazing place

    They serve several side dishes. Fast service and the servers are very friendly. They serve authentic Korean food. Worth staying in line for.

    Got a Bibimbap to go and it was absolutely delicious. They give you just enough rice for the ample amount of veggies on top. Unlike some places that will overflow the container with rice and barely anything else. I also love that it came with all the little side dishes in their separate foil containers. Very nicely presented and tasted even better. Will definitely return for more!

    My daughter and I were staying at Aulani for three nights and we ordered our dinner from Spoon Korean Kitchen every night. Everything that we ordered from their menu were authentic, fresh, and tasty. Their portions were generous too. My daughter said their food tastes just like our home Korean food and we were looking forward to ordering our daily dinner from Spoon Korean Kitchen every day. Thank you, Spoon Korean Kitchen~! Our Hawaiian vacation was perfect because of your food.

    Hands down: One of my favorite Korean restaurants in Hawaii!. You can definitely tell the love and care that they put into their hard work of preparing you a great, high quality meal! And the people that work there are nice and friendly. Can't wait to go here again! :)

    The bbq is very tasty and flavorful. All the side dishes are normal to all other Korean restaurants so nothing too special. We got the seafood pancake and it seems to have a little bit more batter then we'd like. I didnt get the concept of bimbap clay or the stainless steak bowl. We got the steel bowl and it didnt make it tasty. I think all bimbap should be in a sizzling bowl. Price is a little over the edge.

    Meh, expensive, takes long time, soups have more liquid than ingredients. I’d recommend only if your starving and there’s nothing else.

  • 4/5 Herman B. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was okay, a little sweet. The store had an unexpected wait due to a lunch break ? Not advertised on their website. This place seems more Asian Fusion vs Traditional Korean.

    Food is freshly prepared, so order ahead if you want take out. We dined in, so it was not an issue. The meat jun was the best I have ever had. Flavorful and moist, and something I will surely get again. The bulgogi was sort of like a loose stew, and it was great as well. The sides were tasty, am I am not sure what a couple of them were. I will ask on my next visit. The tables were two tops, and there are six of them. Everything was clean and comfortable. Recommended!

    Fantastic food owned and cooked by an Executive Chef. Worth a trip, for sure! They no longer have dine in. It's carry out only. It's a little pricey, but it's one of those "awesome hole in the wall" restaurants that tend to have the best food!!

    Best take out Korean food I've had so far in Hawaii. I'm white so I know a thing or 2. Karen is my wife so be careful.

    First time in my life ordering and it took 1 HOUR for just a meat Jun fish Jun combo plate. I'm not a cook, but who else waits an hour for a plate lunch? Me! My advice is if you have all the time in the world for good korean BBQ, this is the place for you. Recommend you call in before you pick up and dont tip. I'm going crazy in my car ATM. I could've ordered at zippys, ate my food, and gone home all in that hour I waited....

    There's a few tables but basically take-out; clean. I live in old EB & found this place tecently from Best in Hawaii. I had tofu soup w/ seafood topping and it's very tasty. Going back to try bulgogi

    Could've been 5 star but damn they tied my plastic bag way too tight. I haven't eaten anything all day and was excited to eat my food, but there I was struggling to open it....... sad and hungry ....

    Ewwww!!!The girl by the door was so dang rude! I was left dumbfounded! Told us point blank we are closed in the middle of the day. She didn't tell me anything else. It was just like "we are closed" then preceeded to close and lock her door! WHAT THE HECK! I was so confused because on the website hours says their restaurant is open that is why we went. Anyways we left but I was so mad! Ate their through food delivery services 1x during ending of covid restrictions, it was okay. Ate there another time when they first opened and there was an older lady who was our server she was the sweetest lady, made you feel like you are eating at your gm's house. The food was amazing but a bit pricey but worth it. Unfortunately, due this time encounter with the rude girl which left a really bad taste in our mouth, we will not try in person dinning again nor support them. I guess they don't need customers 🤷
