    Army stew
    Michelle I.

    Sooooo gooooooood! It's been a full day and I'm still thinking about what I ate . 100% recommend. Super chill place. With really nice staff. Ordered fries, corn, Army stew and the rose tteokbokki with everyone having their own bowl of rice. This was enough for a party of 5. I recommend the Army Stew and Rose tteokbokki to anyone going for their first time. The sauce that goes with the Rose Tteokbokki is out of this world! Comes with thick chewy noodles . Don't forget the soju and beer!

    First time coming here even though I've heard about it before! Came here with the fiancé and was both our first time. We had a little date night hehe and my goodness the food was so good!!! We ordered 3 items, rose tteokbokki, gizzard with garlic, and the jokbal (pig trotters). It was all so delicious!!! There so much more items I want to try on the menu. There was one girl that waited on us and she was nice. I believe 2 people cooking. There's 2 small karaoke room that can fit about 6 people and the inside has about 3-4 tables. When we first got there, there weren't any rooms opened. After we finished eating our dinner one of the room opened and the girl was nice to let us use the room to sing a few songs!! Hehe we will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!!!

    Good good & good service. The place itself is pretty small so I would recommend going earlier in the night if it's the weekend or callinf to see if you can make a reservation. We tried the rose tteokbokki, chicken gizzards, fried chicken, & lunch box (dosirak). All were good. Definitely will be coming back here again in the future!

    Café Princess Pig has the best kimchi pancake on the island. Our server said she is from South Korea so I assume the food is authentic. The café is quite small and parking is limited but other than this we enjoyed ourselves at Pig.

    An absolute favorite restaurant of my friend and mine! We have been going here almost weekly for the past couple months and order the same things. The rose tteokbokki is THE BEST! The sauce is creamy, the right amount of spice, with sausages, rice cakes, bacon, and wide glass noodles. We also like pairing this with the steamed mandoo and/or kimchi pancake. We've tried the chicken wings but didn't really like it - skin clinged to chicken and was difficult to eat. Service is great but takes around 40 minutes to receive our food, but we don't mind waiting. The vibe in here is lively with kpop/k-hip hop music videos playing loudly. There are also karaoke rooms that aren't very sound proof when sitting in the dinning area. Plenty of parking is available. Best way to find this gem is going down S King Street and turning left into the building lot called "Title Guaranty Escrow" or look for number 1350.

    Located in an alley with parking outside. Private karaoke room available and great service! We had just came from dinner so ordered drinks and a huge pot of chicken feet stew. Perfect flavor of spice!! Will definitely be back to try other items.

    Went here for karaoke, will return of the food! I like that they have a small lot right in front of the location. It's such an inconspicuous looking place I wouldn't have noticed it was there if you didn't tell me about it! They have 2 rooms for karaoke and it's $2 a song. There is a decent amount of song selection as well. The junk thing is that the karaoke machine is owned by a separate entity to if you accidentally input a song twice it's too bad for you =( the rooms also have a $100 minimum food/drink order which we easily surpassed lol. The food was really good, all the dishes we tried tasted good! The eggs have some veggies chopped up in them and ketchup on top. Tried the Korean pancakes which were nice and crispy. Really enjoyed the corn with all the cheese There are a few tables outside as well. Would come back for more food! We looked at some of the soup dishes but might have been hard to share especially when singing, and they looked huge sharing size.

    Karaoke and Korean cuisine in Honolulu, Hawaii... We wanted to try something new, so, we visited Cafe Princess Pig! Location: First Interstate Bank building - more towards Young Street corner of the building Parking: There were about nine free "Visitor" stalls. Some people parked on the street Environment: Our private room had a $100 minimum for food and drinks. Songs were $2 and quite limited to older songs. (The remote control had some Korean words, but we were able to scroll through the English song list and eventually used the book to find song titles more efficiently.) Outside in the lounge area, there was no karaoke - just a big screen television. Tables and chairs were separated into groups of four by barriers and could not be moved. Food: I didn't eat anything. My friends got mandoo, seafood pancake, pork cutlet, corn cheese, and seafood pancake. Everything looked good! Beverages: My friends ordered peach Soju and a red vinegar Soju. I just had a Coke... Haha! Service: We had a slight language barrier, but were able to figure it out. It was an interesting, fun, educational experience! Thanks to all for a wonderful time!

    Karaoke shenanigans... Now who doesn't need a break from adulting from time to time and I'm down for some food, fun and frolicking with karaoke. This place certainly was the first for us and no we didn't reserve anything which is recommended if you are selective with room choice. They do have to similar room sizes but there's just two for karaoke. Equipment is an outside source so they can't help you if you have wrong song choices, the massive remote is mostly in Korean we did manage to figure it out...I got the smartest group I must say! We are smart indeed and hungry gosh loved the varieties of... - Fat Omelette (rolled egg with onions and topped with ketchup) - Seafood Pancake had squid I believe didn't have it due to allergies - Kimchee Pancake - Pork Cutlet (sauce topped tasted like a mix of curry and tonkatsu) - Edamame (coasted with way too much salt!) - Corn Cheese (check out my pic for that cheese pull!) - Mandoo "both fried and steamed" (my preference is steamed) Drinks I did pass this night as it didn't really wow me but friends ordered Peach Soju then later got Red Vinegar. Cafe Princess Pig located in Interstate Building though the cafe is on Young Street you're able enter either way on South King as well, parking is decent with a few visitor stalls my friend Nadine C pointed out thankfully or I thought I was gonna search for street parking which is a needle in a haystack luck of the draw. There is a minimum of $100 tab for use of this private room and with a reservation or a minimum time limit which I'm not sure of the reason we had three hours use as the we had some language barrier with the staff but we still had a fun! This super tiny place had the cutest and certainly Instagrammable decor with a "hello" neon sign right at the door, Groot and the art they made with Soju caps along side of some Princess Pig...super cute but the best group of friends made it a night to remember! Thank you!

    Great food, great service, and great parking in town! Cafe Princess Pig is known for karaoke ($2 for a song) but also for their excellent menu. People actually come here just to eat a lot of the times! I've tried most of their food on their menu and not a single dish disappointed me. I would say their price is pretty reasonable compared to other Korean bars and they also have great FREE parking right in front. They also provide excellent service. I 100% recommend this place for a dinner or a night out.

    The ambiance in this place is amazing, the food is amazing, and the servers are amazing. My favorite hole in the wall 10/10. I wish I found this place sooner! One thing I wish they had was delivery... I crave the rose tteokbokki so much all the time Cafe Princess Pig please change that!!!! I would love to get delivery every night if I could.

    My friends and I were hungry after a late night event. We yelped around and found this place. It stays open really late which is pretty nice for those late nighters. Inside was pretty small with a few tables and 2 karaoke room. Very interesting and cute decor. Parking in the lot but gets full during peak hours. We parked on the street. We ordered a few stuff to share. - Army stew is a must. A spicy soup base with hot dog sausages, tofu, cheese, ramen, and beans boiled in a thin pan. The portion is good enough for two people. - Jokbal is pig trotter that's braised and cooked with soy sauce I believe. Meat was very soft and and fatty. Very tasty. - seasoned tripe was sliced very thin and seasoned well. - Apple mango soju - not really a drinker, but I did take a sip. Flavor on the sweeter side. My friends liked it. Perfect with the food. Although the food seemed simple, it tasted really good. It is a bit expensive for the food and drinks. Next time you need a late night outing, this is the spot.

    Cafe Princess Pig is a small place with about 4 or 5 tables and 2 karaoke rooms. It's nothing fancy, but it's definitely all you need to enjoy a few drinks and yummy Korean food. We got their at exactly 6pm (our reservation time) so we could chose our table. There were a lot of items on the menu that looked good and some were different then what I've seen at other places. We ordered the army stew (my favorite, even though I couldn't eat the noodles) and the mandoo. And we got the lychee bottled soju to share. The army stew was very tasty with green & round onions, tofu, sausage, spam, beans, and noodles. And the mandoo was good too. And it went well with our lychee soju which now might be my new favorite flavor. The workers were nice and were working hard doing all the cooking too. This place doesn't look like much from the outside and can be hard to miss when you're trying to find the place so be sure to keep your eyes open or you may miss it!

Taste wise the meat jun with the sauce was not sweet. But I enjoyed it regardless. The quantity was great! Along with the unlimited banchan I was a happy camper that got to take extras home. Service: Great! I called 2 hours beforehand on a Friday for a reservation for a party of 8 + a baby stroller and they accommodated us wonderfully. They also allowed us to split the check at the register by items. They gave e water as needed as well. Atmosphere/Ambiance: Casual.

Yes. :) My only regret was that I ate my food and enjoyed the company I was with, forgetting about taking photos for this review.

I really enjoy the Korean comfort foods! 4 stars for the food, soups, and ban chan, 5 stars if the service was great. Typical service you will get at a Korean spot but no complaints. Just gotta be patient for ban chan refills or if you need anything else, I don't expect much just happy that I get to have my Korean food. During this recent Saturday visit, I decided to go here for our late lunch, after hiking Koko Head Trail & Makapuu. It was about 4:30 pm, we were the only ones there, but it filled up pretty quick an and they do have many take out and Uber/Door Dash orders. My favorites here are the combo set, choice of soondubu (combination, kim chee, spam, beef, sausage, clam,) & either meat jun, fried mandoo, bulgogi, yellow corvina, seafood jun, or BBQ chicken. The combo use to be $20.55 my first time but now went up to $23.55, hence the increase, it is still a great deal, this meal comes with rice and 5 different ban chan. This combo was more than enough for the both of us. My favorite is the spam soondubu ( yes. who picks Spam right?! hehe) & the seafood Jun. Although it so hard to decide since all the choices are good, I will have to visit again for the other selection. The other half and I cannot eat an entire combo set by ourselves. I love the ban chan, especially the daikon & kim chee, so fresh and crispy! When I first dined here, I was surprise to see they give you a fresh egg to crack in your soondubu soup, I am use to the egg already in there. We always have leftover soondu soup which I take home and add to my Korean ramen the next day, so good! Support this local mom & pop restaurant, So Gong Dong has been around for the longest time just only recently I've discovered it. I will be back for the next Korean soondubu, ban chan fix!

First off, all the complimentary banchan (Korean side dishes). From the classic kimchi, fishcake, cucumber kimchi, and radish. And if you're dining in, just ask and you can get refills of whatever you want more of. If you're doing take out, they still give you all of the banchan!v We did dine-in but take out / online orders seemed popular. But I loved dining in because of the Ajumma here! She was so sweet and funny, and even made the perfect bite (radish kimchi on top of the meat jun, so the acid offsets the oily fried jun) and fed it to my boyfriend LOL. We got a ton of food! The seafood soondabu soup, seafood korean pancake, seafood bibimbap, meat jun, and zucchini jun. We had a lot of leftovers that we took home.

The tofu was silky soft and fresh, soaking up all the flavor from the broth. The lunch set is a great value--you get soondubu bubbling hot, rice, and banchan that were all solid and well-seasoned. Portions were filling without being heavy, which makes it an ideal lunch option. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast even during lunch hours. This is definitely one of those places you crave when you want something warm, satisfying, and comforting. I'll absolutely be back for this again.

For the meats, the beef brisket and beef toro were the stars, but the beef chuck was slightly tough and dry. They were also out of bulgogi, which was disappointing. The pork had a really strong boar taint smell/taste, which completely turned me off from ordering any of the pork. We had to ask for more meat and banchan refills multiple times. There was usually a pretty noticeable lag before anything came out, which was frustrating for an AYCE spot. They also seemed to be selective about which banchans they would refill. They would bring more of the dishes like kimchi and cucumber, but when we asked for more tuna mac, they wouldn't give us any. It also looked like there were only two people working while there were probably around 10 tables during the Tuesday lunch rush, so I do think they were understaffed. If you're offering AYCE, the refills and service should flow a lot more smoothly. It felt like they were paying more attention the tables that selected a higher tier of AYCE. Not a terrible experience, but definitely not as seamless or enjoyable as I was hoping for.
