this unassuming little kbbq spot in kalihi has really high quality meat and the funniest korean aunties to match. they're so generous with their portions so you're not constantly waiting to place another order. when you order brisket, they deliver a huge plate piled high with meat! the meat quality is really good, none of that cheap super fatty or touch pieces. the only thing is they don't have any smoke hoods so it gets quite warm inside despite them running split ac units and fans throughout the space. read more

In the mood for a meat heavy, pan chan light AYCE place? This might be it. I havent gone in years so my wife and i decided to go there last night and decided to eat the Course A. You can choose 4 types of meat and they are generous. By the time we had cooked everything, we were kinda stuffed. I actually wanted to take some home, but since it was a "buffet", they would not allow it. So oh well, couldn't waste it and so i made it my mission to eat everything! *burp* They provided 4 different pan chan side dishes and a salad. They were "okay" I thought, but it was not automatically replenished when we ate all of a dish. So for the meat and serving size - A. Pan chan - C. Salad - c+. Not sure the AC was working- it was really warm, especially if when cooking on the table burner! So a slight downgrade in points... but overall, a 3.5 stars. read more

Food 10/10 Service 6/10 The meat choices were really good there and for a good price as well. The service was okay, they were really nice it was just hard to get their attention sometimes. The side dishes are also great and it comes with the set. The soju drinks are also a perfect addition to the meal read more

The seafood pancake and bi bimbap were delicious. The meats were from the lunch special for $27.99 BUT both of us had to buy the lunch special. You are NOT allowed to order the lunch special for one person, even if you're the only one to eat it. They required TWO of us to purchase the lunch special, but as you can see, the portion was SMALL for two of us. Banchan included potato, kimchee, salad, sprouts, and fish cake. Free parking on property. Service was okay; server was a nice lady. Male (possible owner) reminds me of a bully. Overall clean restaurant. There are far too many Korean eateries to enjoy on Oahu. Would not recommend this restaurant. read more

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. read more

First & foremost, there's a really fine print at the bottom of the menu stating "A 18% gratuity tip will be added to the check". Just wanted to say that it is off of the TAXED total, not the subtotal. If the tip was off of the subtotal, then you tax the subtotal only, it comes out to almost 20% tip they added. This was off putting to us. FOOD (value & quality) 8/10 $33.99 was for the standard AYCE dinner. It included rice, salad, shoyu potatoes, kim chee, cucumbers, & mac salad for the side dishes. We were asked to order 4 meats to start, so we got kalbi (8/10), garlic short ribs (3/10 bland), brisket (8/10), & pork jowl (?/10) but they got our order wrong and gave us beef tongue (7/10) instead. These portions were pretty big! I recommend asking them for smaller/half portions for your first round. For the 2 of us, we ended up not needing to order more because there was so much meat. I would have liked to order other meats to try (and my pork jowl)! SERVICE (2/10) We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday night and there was only 1 other table on the grill side of the restaurant. Initial order taking, water, utensils, & side dishes were quick but after that, it was like we were forgotten. We had to flag someone down for everything (more napkins, chopsticks, sauce, grill change). Our waters were never filled and they only asked if we wanted to order more 1 time, after we flagged them down to change the grill. OVERALL: would not come back. The food was tasty but the 18% gratuity on your taxed total and the lack of service during a really slow time just couldn't make up for it. Bummers. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Menu 4-25-2026. 18% gratuity automatically added to all checks. - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Just ok. We've tried the regular cooked food option and it That was ok, nothing spectacular pretty mid. But today we tried the AYCE Yakiniku and it wasn't too bad priced at 32.99 or 39.99 per. The good: they give you a decent mounds of raw meat. The bad: their ban Chan is cheap as hell with salad lettuce, a pinch of sprouts, a pinch of Kim chee and a pinch of shoyu potatoes. The brisket was mediocre, the "kalbi meat" also mid and the salt kalbi was chewy as hell. Mid. You always have to chase the waitress down for any type of refills. What really was a huge negative is that they automatically slap on their tip with your bill. I'll tip cuz I'm not cheap but... taking tip against our will is highway robbery. 3 people with their imposed tip came out to $125.99. My hubby and teenage son are huge eaters but because meat quality was sub par, they didn't ask for more. Will never go back. Ambiance is ghetto with plastic lawn chairs. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

BE AWARE of 18% tip added on automatic, I wish I could see the other review before I went to there tonight. The food is ok 7/10 and luckily I checked the bill (normally I don't check carefully) and noticed they added 18% tip for our two bill( we chose $39.99/person), and when I signed the receipt it shows 3 more options to add on more tips. This is a robbery for the customer. I believe whoever experienced that won't want to go back. read more

The worst service, automatically charged a 18% Gratuity for 3 people, and charged $10 each person for BYOB, which only 1 person had a single buzzball...ALL WITHOUTBIT EVEN BEING ON THE MENU, if I didn't check the charges I would jot have known...when I question the charges the owner literally had a raised voice and in my face kinda attitude...Never experienced this kinda service...Good food, but literally tried to ROB US BLIND!!!

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. read more

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. read more

When we went to pay the bill we were shocked that she included a 25% tip in our bill! There were only 2 of us eating! And the service was POOR.

She never mentioned anything to us when we sat down and when we ordered. DON'T GO THERE. read more

Went to Han Yang and got a Kalbi and Meat Jun plate I was a bit disappointed in the amount of food on the plate there was one thinly sliced piece of short rib Kalbi and one piece of Meat Jun although the Meat Jun meat that they used seemed to be of higher quality of meat it was still disappointing that there was only one piece. The Kalbi did have a good flavor but was so thin it was like barely anything. The sides were pretty decent the Kim Chee had good flavor and the potatoes were good also there was bean sprouts and marinated seaweed also. Parking is a bit tight as it is in a busy little mall with other food establishments. The customer service was a bit lacking but not really bad. although I was a bit disappointed I'd try them again maybe getting something else or the all you can eat menu to see if it makes my experience better. read more

Such a disgusting experience, paid over a $100 for two and staff didn't come back to check on us to get more orders. Decided to leave after waiting for over 30 mins for any type of attention from the staff members. Employees just walked by and stared at the empty plates and burnt grill. Save your money!! Go to Hale Kale instead even if you have to wait. This place is just outrageous ewwwww yack sobrang nakaka disappoint. read more

$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! read more

I don't really care what others say because this is my opinion! I love coming here even though I don't eat beef. I know, I know...why go yakiniku when most items are beef? Because I like the pork belly and the of course the main thing, the people that I come with. It's like one of the last OG Korean yakiniku places in town. Every where else is very modern like now days and they serve in such small portions where you gotta keep calling them and wait for your meat to come. This place is in another level! You order and a nice big plate of meat comes out! Sometimes if you're lucky, uncle comes out with the whole pan and ask how much you like!! I wouldn't say it's fancy, as you can tell from the inside that it's been opened for some years now but what I'm more excited about is that they now have pork jowl!!!!! That's my next favorite next to pork belly!!! Not a lot of Korean yakiniku on island have pork jowl on the menu, so when I saw that they updated their menu with that added on I was super happy!!! Overall if you haven't tried this place, please come!! The aunties there may not really have a smile onto their faces lol, but I swear they are really nice!! Also, it could get quite busy sometimes so definitely go earlier or later! XD read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Updated price as of 09.20.23 and they have pork jowl now!!!!!!!! - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

After searching all over Honolulu for a good Korean restaurant to cater our baby's Dol (Korean first birthday party), we finally chose Hanyang--and it was absolutely the right decision. Without naming names, we tried nearly every Korean restaurant in Moiliili, Kaimuki, Kahala, Ala Moana, Pearlridge, Kalihi, and Salt Lake. Hanyang was the clear winner--hands down the best in both service and overall food quality. Other places fell short for various (and sometimes multiple) reasons: rice that was either too dry or too mushy, meats that were burnt, and disappointing or nonexistent banchan options. Planning a party is already stressful, and some restaurants made it harder--either handing me a flyer or telling me to take a picture of their catering menu. One shop owner even said, "I have to make 100 bentos?!" But from the moment I walked into Hanyang, the atmosphere was completely different. I was treated like a valued customer. David, the owner, welcomed me, showed me to a booth, offered tea and water, and sat down to talk through my ideas and the catering options available if we chose to work with them. To make sure we liked the food, I purchased five different plate lunches for my family to sample. We tried their kalbi, meat jun, BBQ chicken, spicy pork, and mandoo entrées, along with several banchan--bean sprouts, choi sum, shoyu potato, daikon kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and cabbage kimchi. Everything was delicious, but we especially loved the meat jun and mandoo with their special house sauce. In the end, Hanyang created three custom meal options specifically tailored to our event: a modified bento box, a child's meal (not on their menu), and even a baby/toddler meal (also not on their menu). Everything was thoughtfully designed to perfectly meet our needs. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, outstanding service, and a team willing to go the extra mile, I can't recommend Hanyang enough. They made our baby's Dol a beautiful, stress-free experience. read more

I been coming here for years & yet I've never written a review! I love coming here. The prices do change from time to time but that's as to be expected with the fluctuations of our economy. Never unreasonable prices though. From the meats to the sides, everything is always yummy. Service has always been great & they are always fully staffed. Owner is always here working also. They have 2 AYCE options now! Ambiance is awesome. With both Yakiniku grills or just plates on the other side. Sometimes when they get really busy, you can even Yakiniku on the other side with a portable grill! read more
