We'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

If you're looking for authentic Korean cuisine at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Yakiniku…read moreKorea House at 2494 S. Beretania Street in Honolulu. We were impressed by the wide variety of dishes on the menu and decided on the marinated kalbi and bulgogi, accompanied by a wonderful assortment of traditional Korean banchan (side dishes). Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The quality and preparation really gave us the feeling of enjoying a meal in Korea. One thing that stood out was the clientele--about 90% of the customers appeared to be Korean, which, to me, is always a great indication that a restaurant is serving the real thing rather than simply adapting Korean food for tourists. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable considering the quality and portions. Another big plus is the ample parking, which can be a real challenge at many Honolulu restaurants. Overall, Yakiniku Korea House is a casual, authentic, reasonably priced Korean BBQ experience that I would gladly recommend to anyone who enjoys Korean food--or anyone wanting to experience it for the first time.

From the sides, starches, meat, and sauces, everything is just perfect! All the flavors are so amazing and balanced, and everything just tastes absolutely heavenly. I like to get Yakiniku Set B (sub extra brisket, tongue, or skirt for bulgogi), tteokbokki (떡볶이), naengmyeon (냉면), cold tofu, kimchi pancake, and 5 yakult probiotic drinks! Everything is always 100/10! Even the salad dressing, dipping sauces, and the thickness and cuts of the meat are on point. Absolutely zero complaints. Also, do not sleep on the strawberry Yakult because it is absolutely fire! The service is always so great here. The employees are always so happy to help and are super friendly. The wait is never too long and usually goes by fast. The staff members are super attentive and are constantly coming by to refill and top off drinks, too. They genuinely care for you and care about how you are doing. The vibe of the place is so great. It just feels so cozy and homey, and the energy is very good. The only thing is that parking can sometimes be hard to find, but we usually get lucky. However, having a hard time finding parking is no big deal when the food and restaurant experience is this good! I highly recommend you check Million Restaurant out. It's definitely one of my favorite restaurants of all time.

They are located on floor 2b, next to Mana+pua. After looking at the menu, my husband was worried that they wouldn't give enough food. WRONG! We were seated as soon as we arrived and looked at their huge menu. My son ordered their spicy garlic shrimp set, my husband ordered their eel & pollack roe set and I got the Teri pork set. We also ordered the mandu and kalbi side dishes. My husband and I enjoyed it sets. My son must have really enjoyed his cuz that thing was gone in 60 seconds! Each set came with rice & your selected meat in the dolsot, banchan (we all had Mac salad, broccoli and Kim chi), a soup (we had a delicious clear radish soup), and gyeramjjim which was more like a chawanmushi. Oh and a little orange slushie! The banchan are all refillable and the kimchi was the star of the show! You scoop the rice and meat into your serving bowl and leave all the crispy pieces of rice stuck on the bowl. After you are done eating, your server will pour hot tea into your dolsot to enjoy as a chazuke (sorry don't know the Korean term for it). There was more than enough food and we all left full and even took home a little leftovers.

Located in Salt Kaka'ako, they're on the second floor past Pitch. Parking is in the garage, with…read morefirst hour free then a couple dollars per hour. It's a small restaurant with about 8 tables inside and some patio outdoor seating. The service is fantastic, friendly, fast, and helpful. It's homey and casual, perfect for a date or friend meet up. The menu has several rice pot options (which is what they're known for), appetizers, and specials. I opted for their spicy pork set for $26. It's a complete meal served with three side dishes, steamed egg, and soup. They really put a lot of care into the preparation of the dishes. I saw in their social media that each rice pot is individually cooked to ensure its freshness and flavor. The servers are so sweet they explain that they recommend mixing the rice and ingredients in the bowl and then save a little rice so they can add barley tea to the pot for a healthy finish. The spicy pork has a mild heat with a nice grilled char and flavorful sauce. I especially liked the ocean salad side dish which had a yuzu citrus flavor and their kimchee is made daily. They allow unlimited sides by the way! The soup of the day was a daikon pollock soup, known as "hangover soup". And to top everything off, they gave dessert a tangerine slush which was refreshing. You can all request seconds of the dessert too! So generous! Overall, highly recommend this spot! The food is delicious and healthy and the service is excellent.

They grill and season in the back and bring out to table and place on a warmer (which doesn't do much, heat wise - so just eat da skewers fast). You can control the spice level as well. Tried the pork belly, King Oyster Mushroom, chicken thigh, lamb, and pork wrapped enoki. Oh! And scallion pancake. Next time I skip da chicken. Lamb, pork, and mushrooms were excellent. The table next to us had a seafood extravaganza and I want to do seafood next visit. The peach shave ice was lovely. A milky kind of syrup with cornflake topping for crunch. The table next to us had the coolest drink thingy. If I go with a larger group, I wanna try the drink thingy! Super noisy with tables rather close together, so hard to talk story. The table next to us were talking super loud but once they left, noise volume went back to normal. Service was good.
