    The Meat Sauces! Red Sauce, Red Meat... White Sauce, White Meat.
    Robert K.

    EXUSE ME?!?! WHY IS YOUR FOOD SO YUMMY?!?!? If you walk out of this place smelling like you just stepped out of the shower, you are doing something wrong! This place has some of the most yummy All-You-Can-Eat Choices. Aunties working the dining room always looking out making sure you got enough to eat... If you know that Korean Aunty-Style Service You're gonna love them like i do. Free Miso Soup at the end if you finish your food...

    Brisket, Beef Tongue, Pork Belly

    This place is truly a hidden gem. They've been in business for 18+ years but due to the pandemic and their location, they're having a hard time obtaining new customers. Until they get more popular, there almost is never a wait. Which is very hard to find at any other yakiniku restaurant on the island. The meat is good quality. I am a Brisket & Beef Tongue person so I'm happy they offer both on the cheaper menu. I go here for convenience, not for the experience. Other restaurants will give you top tier hospitality and give you 2 pieces of meat nicely plated at a time. This restaurant will basically ask what you want and drop off a heaping plate of raw meat at your table and come back occasionally to fill water and to ask if you want another round. Oh, and they are BYOB but they have a few can soda options also. 15% Gratuity is included in the bill so you'll pay approximately $82 for two people. In my opinion, it's better than being finagled to tip 20%+ like other restaurants. This way, you just pay the bill as is and be on your way. Overall, if you're not looking for anything fancy and something to just satisfy the yakiniku craving, I'd highly recommend you checking out Han Yang in Kalihi.

    Meat Jun, BBQ chicken, Kalihi combo Spicy cold noodles Kim chee soup (spicy and sour) Ban Chan

    There are two styles. You can choose to do buffet Yakiniku (grill your own meat) or order from the regular menu where all the food is cooked and brought to you. Your seating will depend on if you do buffet or regular menu. It's a family style restaurant. Service is brisk. Make sure to know what to order and place it's all at once. The kim chee soup is a bit spicy and sour. Old Kim chee is great for your gut. Spicy cold noodles with buck wheat noodles are normally served with daikon and boiled egg. I was surprised I only got half a boiled egg. What happened to the other half? The apple slices were a nice and refreshing surprise. The star of lunch time meals here is the 3 meat combo. I got the BBQ chicken, Kalihi, and meat Jun. the meat Jun is thin and the egg covering is slightly sweet. If you want rice, you have to order a side servicing/small bowl of rice. You may request for more ban Chan if you would like more.

    Menu as of June 2026

    Parking can be a little tough, bring a small car if you have it. They have AYCE but we went with the local style kalbi plate 24.95 and the kalbi/meat jun combo 19.95. Both good, kalbi came with 3 well marinated cuts, delicious. They start you with some seaweed soup, then the side dishes. banchan come. Our waitress was meh, clearly could see that we were low on water, but didn't do anything until we asked for more. But when we asked for more water, along with more banchan, she was on it. You can ask for more kimchi, bean, sprouts, whatever. This is pretty much our regular place when we want sit down Korean food. Recommend.

    Don't let this local style BBQ place in Kalihi fool you, they might not look fancy, they don't have that high tech ventilation system to suck up all the smoke like the new fancy BBQ place. But I think they offer good deal for their meats and services. We come here because they have cow tongue, which is our favorite! If you go to H-mart to buy a box of cow tongue, you know how much that would cost you. Their short ribs, pork belly are also very good. You can order other items like soup, etc. they give us some small dishes, two bowl of rice that we never touched, (I should have told them take back to rice when they brought them and don't waste them) they also give us a small plate of salad. They changed our grill three times during our dinner which is nice. When the place gets busy, you may have to wait a bit for your meat to come. When we pay the bill at the end, they put 18% tips on our bill even we only have two people. I am not sure if they printed a note someplace on the menu saying that they will charge 18% tips automatically. I would like the owner to clarify that if they read this review.

    This has an all you can eat grill menu but the portions are so big, never tried it. The hot Kim chee soup is the bomb for burning out a cold. Their kalbi, bulgoki, really everything,mandoo, is all onoliscious.

    The overall service and quality of meat was superb! I would definitely be back. It definitely has a very quaint feel, but it also has that homely feeling that makes you want to return.

    FOOD -- As other reviewers have mentioned, this place has two styles: yakiniku (all you can eat, grill it yourself style) or order specific dishes from the menu for them to cook and bring it to you. Beef brisket and garlic shortribs were great! I was kind of disappointed with the flavor and texture of the korean kalbi after it was cooked. PRICE -- We did the regular yakiniku menu ($29.99), which includes korean kalbi, garlic shortribs, salted shortribs, brisket meat, beef tongue, garlic kobe meat, salted jobe meat, bbq beef, bbq chicken, bbq pork, pork belly, and pork jowl. Includes unlimited steamed rice, side dishes, salad, seaweed or bean paste stew, and a signature sauce. The pricier $38.99 menu is basically just the regular menu PLUS prime shortrib, ribeye, shrimp, dumpling, mountain tripe, beef intestine, and baby octopus. For two people who did the $29.99 yakiniku menu and a can of soda, the total was $80, which includes the tax and automatic 18% gratuity tip. SERVICE -- Most of the workers are elderly ladies. They are quick and efficient with replacing the grills and meats. They have a 1.5 hour time limit for dining in. AMBIANCE -- Came here on a Thursday evening at around 8pm. There were not a lot of customers in the overall restaurant. We were seated immiediately. The restaurant is divided into two sides for each order style. The yakiniku side had about five tables occupied, there were about four more table empty. There were less tables occupied in the ordering side. The place, visually/aesthetically, looks a little bit run down but everything is in working order. Good for casual eats, but not for special occasions. OVERALL -- Great place for the price and quality of the meats! I just wished that the kalbi meat was better. Review for my visit on July 24, 2025.

    3 choice (meat Jun, fish Jun & mondoo)

    This place is in kalihi right next to guieb cafe. They have free parking outside but go on a random time because it does get busy and parking does fill up. The food is cheap!!!! 3 choices for $20 something, wow! Super worth it! AND it comes with sides. Wow! So they seperate their sides because on one side of their restaurant you have all you can eat yakiniku and on the other side it's reg eating. Mama & papa there are super nice and they make you feel at home. The food is good. Cooked to perfection. Very fulfilling. They give a lot. Although I wish it was cooler in there because the ac was not really strong enough. The noise level is regular, not too quiet and not too loud which was perfect. The tables were a little squishy. But I enjoyed the company of the workers.

    Brisket, beef tongue, pork belly, salted Kobe meat
    Vicky L.

    $30 for ayce or $40 for ayce with slightly more options. There wasn't really any additional meats that were worth getting the $40 ayce though. 90 minutes to eat your limit, but we were done on the first plate. They said we could order 4 meats at a time. We got the brisket, pork belly, salted Kobe meat, and beef tongue. They were all pretty decent EXCEPT the Kobe meat. Very chewy and tough. There was a fat block provided to oil the grill, but everything still stuck lol. You can order seaweed or soybean soup as well. I was surprised that the place was fairly busy, as I haven't heard much about this place since middle school. Normally Korean ladies in restaurants aren't too friendly but they're efficient, BUT all three of these ladies were pretty nice. Not like a make small talk and complement like of nice, but a welcoming kind of nice and efficiency. It's a very casual and lively restaurant, come hungry and avoid the Kobe meat!

    I am so glad we voted to come here bc I was in the mood for some bossam (tender/boiled pork belly)…read morewith friends who inspire me to level up my food and drink game... and here we are. I enjoyed everything we ordered (via table tablet), the ttteok (rice cake) had the perfect soft/chew, both sauce and kimchi jjigae were flavored to my liking, and I kept grazing while my (low-ish) spice tolerance was struggling by every savory chew.. so I toggled between the fresh banchan, purple rice, tender slices of bossam, and shots of cold soju (to help forget my tastebuds embered into a small fire), without losing face in front of my spice-tolerant friends. I don't think they noticed... Service was fast and friendly, and the vibe all around was energetic but not deafeningly loud... like I didn't have to shout at my friends. We parked on the street bc the lot was full. This place was busy, and I can see why! Will definitely come back here again (& would not be opposed if we ordered the same things).

Everything came out fast and freshly cooked to perfection. Every dish was flavorful and delicious. I wish the Bossam came with more veggies because the meat to veggie ratio wasn't near equal. They don't have white rice here and only have purple rice which tastes fine. Overall, a bit pricey, but food quality and portions are excellent. Staff are fast and super friendly. Lots of tables to dine at. Parking lot is a bit small.

First off, all the complimentary banchan (Korean side dishes). From the classic kimchi, fishcake, cucumber kimchi, and radish.

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.

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.

The premium AYCE option is around $60 per person, which would be reasonable if the quality matched the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't. We're from the Bay Area and have been to countless Korean BBQ restaurants with significantly better meat quality for the same price or less. To make matters worse, even at the highest-priced AYCE tier, fountain drinks aren't included. What really left a bad impression was the automatic 20% gratuity. Our group consisted of two separate parties of three people each. We were seated together at one large table with two grills, but we had separate bills, ordered different AYCE meats option, didn't share food, and made that CLEAR before ordering. The menu states that automatic gratuity applies to parties of five or more, yet we were still charged because we happened to sit together. Had we known this was their policy, we would have chosen another restaurant or sat at different areas of the restaurant. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because our servers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions about the menu and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Unfortunately, when we brought the gratuity issue to the manager, he insisted we were one large party despite us being separate parties with separate orders and separate checks. At the end of the day, the only difference was that we happened to be sitting at the same table. Overall, the service from the staff was great, but the overpriced food, disappointing meat quality, and questionable gratuity policy make it hard for me to recommend this place.
