    Beef plate with Mac salad, seaweed, noodles, rice, and tofu
    Karlee M.

    Food tasted good, but was ready suspiciously fast which makes me think it's not fresh. Also the lady was rude when I asked for just water, said I can have tap water from an old sink. So I didn't drink anything while eatingAnd overall she just didn't seem to want to help me out. The restaurant is also old but I don't let that be the judge of food usually so yeah. The food wasn't bad, but the service was. Got the beef plate with tofu, noodles, Mac salad, seaweed, and rice. Also asked to eat inside but didn't even give me the option later to take the rest home.

    Baffles me why this place has bad reviews. Yes it's old. But seriously giving 1* because the menu board is old? SMH. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. In an age (2024) where most Korean bbq places charge at least $17 this place is $13 for many choices. Portions are generous. Food tastes fresh. No complaints as far as I'm concerned.

    No flavor. Spicy chicken plate & meat jun wasn't cooked well either. Rude cashier flew my card back after payment

    Bbq chicken and beef, fish jun, veggies
    Mari T.

    My parents got take out from here for a get together with some friends on the North Shore. They are visiting from Connecticut and loved it! We tried bbq chicken, bbq beef, fish jun, and the vegetables were mac salad (def a veggie!), cabbage, choy sum, chap chae and bean sprouts. The service was fast and the portions were good. I always love mac salad, and this one did not disappoint. I loved the fish jun as usual and the sauce was good, too. Will need to check it out in person next time!

    The two elder couple working are accommodating and easy to talk to! The food itself is good enough for its price. Two mini plate lunches with veggies for $20- a steal!

    Yumz. We walked in to grab some lunch and it was a quick easy in and out. Prices good, quality was good. The older gentleman would much rather continue watching tv than box the food but if you have time its ok.

They do have a sign in sheet but i didn't see them actually look at the list so keep an eye out if you find yourself having to wait outside for a table. The Tempura combo is still great, the Tempura fat and crispy but airy, meatjun was plentiful. Could even be enough to take home but I was very hungry. Bibimbap was a generous portion and had a offering of rice, green salad, bean sprouts, beef, and egg. Banchan was plentiful and you can always get refills. The Restaurant is a good size, there are maybe 10 booths but the ceiling was leaking so there were paper towels and buckets all over the floor, really couldn't help it bc the recent storms really did a number the last two weeks. Still, be careful as water was dripping on both the tables and seats. I did notice a bit of phone orders... like phone constantly ringing. The Owner still pleasant answering everyone and tending to us. Though we did have a great visit, we may do take out next time.

There are…read moremultiple signs everywhere and the girls will repeat themselves over and over that they do not take any card whatsoever.. that's what CASH ONLY means!! But yes, as of 2026 and all the years prior... bring da Green! The plates are very fat! and maybe that's why people who are fans don't fuss over the price. You can very will split a mini in to two portions and you can sub rice for extra veggies. I love the Tasty Combo bc i love variety, Husband loves the Bibimbap. I don't think the service is bad at all, but the girls are young so don't expect to be blown away. Regarding the banchan, if you want something specific, give them a call bc sometimes they don't have it that day of if they ran out, they don't replenish it. Restaurant is pretty small so although there are tables available, it can get pretty crowded inside so it can be uncomfortable if you're trying to eat. The courtyard is a great option. Anyway- Can't go wrong. Food is always cooked perfectly. I do wish the containers were better quality. They become rather flimsy and soggy real fast. Do stop by and give them a chance. There's a BOH branch and a CPB branch if you need bills.. because you know.. for the 100th time, it's cash only.

Mini plates run about $17 depending on what you get, and regular plates are around $23. When ordering, I asked the cashier if the cook could cut the Kal Bi into pieces. She said, "No can," but offered me a knife instead. I also asked if I could do a half‑pound side order and split it into two items--again, "No can." When I finally got my food, my Meat Jun was cut into pieces... which made me wonder why the Kal Bi couldn't be. I tried cutting it myself, but the plastic knife broke. I went back to get another knife and a cup of ice for my not‑so‑cold soda, but the cashier said we don't have and no cups. At that point, this place should've been called "No More, No Can. The food is good--especially their Mondu Kook Su, which I didn't get this time--but the customer service and flexibility could definitely be better. Marie

This spot is located on the corner of Kilani Ave and Cane St. I personally didn't go in as my Husbabe was the one in the area so I asked if he could stop by. This review is solely in regards to the bento food, not the side dishes that offer. Husbabe stated nice friendly younger worker that was there and a few people in line. We decided to go with LOTS of sides and try out the bento since everyone been hyping the food out here. I got the meatjun bento, which came with chap jae, daikon rice and furikake. My Husbabe got the fishjun bento which also came with the same sides. Let's talk about the bento. My honest review because I had really high hopes, but let's be clear before I go on. We are going to go back and try again, maybe earlier in the day as it was in the afternoon already (12ish). Okay so, the meatjun was really mushy, I thought maybe just that one piece I had, literally couldn't taste the meat, everything seemed mushed together. I tried a 2nd piece and samething. I was really sad :(. I really wanted it to be good. The chap jae was good.The bentos are room temp laid out on a table and not under any sort of warmer, so literally a grab and go. My husband said the same about his fishjun :( . The sauce that came with the meatjun was extremely odd, tasted heavy of some sort of soy sauce. We got gyoza and that was okay, the sauce was the same sauce as the meatjun, so I just made my own sauce. Now let's get to the sides. SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD! My husband got the load of variety (pictured below). We are definitely gonna go back to try the bentos again and I gotta say the sides are so worth it tho and that kimchee, chef's kiss...

Now, is it actually the best? Food is subjective, Brah. But let me tell you my truth. The burger itself? A solid 5 out of 5. The bun is incredibly soft. It almost feels like it was steamed low-key like a Krystal burger, even though it's probably not. And the patty? Super flavorful. It honestly reminds me of a really good, seasoned meatloaf in the best way possible. I absolutely love it, even if your Auntie or Unko might disagree. The taste and the price point are honestly unbeatable. So why only 4 stars overall? Because I am a simple human, and my DNA dictates that a burger must be accompanied by fries. Eating a world-class burger without a side of crispy french fries feels like going to the beach and forgetting your slippahs. You know what I mean!? Crucial missing component! If you don't mind chasing a legendary burger with a bowl of saimin instead of fries, this place is an absolute must-try. Otherwise, you better go cruise over to Jack in the Box first for some curly fries!
