Came here on a friends recommendation! Homey Korean AYCE& order off menu selections. Across Diners Drive In in Kalihi in the strip mall, next to all the newer restaurants ,& liquor store on the other corner( facing mauka). 4 in our group we all ordered combination plates. Kalbi, meatjun Mandoo, chicken, came with about 6 side dishes which we shared Kim chee, cucumber Kim chee, pickled radishes, all dishes came with white rice & seaweed soup.Every thing was tasty & there was ample food for everyone! Service by staff was pleasant & friendly. We will go back! read more

Great food and great service! The quality of food is amazing and the prices are really good to match. You can't go wrong when you visit this place. read more

Food was really good!! Wait time wasn't too bad either and the portion was just right. $22 for 3 choice of meat was worth it. Next time I'll come try the yakiniku. read more

Tried the kalbi/chicken mixed plate. It came with seaweed soup, banchan, and rice. The food was pretty good, but I'm giving this place 3 stars because the service leaves much to be desired. I mean, they don't even try. Water was never refilled, no one came to the table once the order was taken and the food was dropped. One of the workers sat at a booth next to me and watched a Korean show on her iPad....I knew this because she wasn't wearing earphones. Again, the food was good, but I'd only go back if I was desperate and there was nothing else open. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Kalbi/chicken plate - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was super excited to see an AYCE bbq place offer beef tongue and pork jowl. I went around 6:00 and it wasn't very crowded on a Saturday. The price is 32.99 so it is comparable in price to other AYCE places in town. There is parking out front. When you first walk in you can choose to sit on the left if you are ordering ala carte meals off the menu and to the right if you are doing the AYCE. I noticed that depending on your table people around me had different banchan which seems a bit unfair. Overall the meat quality is okay, some cuts were very juicy and easy to eat while others were quite tough and chewy. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - AYCE spread - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great & quick service, friendly staff & yummy food. Spicy Pork is highly recommended. The parking situation is the only downside. There are a lot of parking stalls, however, the complex is 90% "yummy/good" food establishments. Thus, it's crowded, small/tight stalls = inconsiderate people using 2 parking stall instead of parking within their line. read more

Yummy food my favorite restaurant on the island!!! I love the cold noodles and soybean stew!! Amazing service as well. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Another review of Han Yang. Did the standard Korean BBQ. They're running a holiday special where's $29.99 until 1/31/2024. I love the fact that they give a large first portion so you're not always having to ask for more again and again. We also got the kim chee stew which was good. We focused on the beef and pork belly. The ban chan (side dishes) were ok. I came out of there full and happy. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We arrived early enough on a Friday evening and were seated on the AYCE side of the restaurant right away. If you are looking for cheap AYCE Korean BBQ, I'm not sure if anyone is less than $29.99 pp, seems there was a price increase in the last year, and rightly so as everything has gotten more expensive over time. As we sat, we were brought ban chan, salad, and water. Our order was taken and the meats were brought out pretty quickly. Luckily, our server missed one of our orders, and by the time we realized it, we were already finishing up the meal and wouldn't have any more space to eat more. We weren't sure if we were supposed to ask for the soup, but we weren't there for the soup, so... Ordered Strawberry shochu which came in a plastic shaker bottle, and fun little ladle-like cups for drinking. None of these tiny shot glasses! Dipping sauce is home made and pretty tasty when I mixed it with the oil and salt. When the bill came, my husband looked shocked, as it was nearly $90, when I asked the server, she explained that the 18% tip was included. I've heard of tip being automatically included for large parties, but there was just the 2 of us so it caught us off guard to see it on the bill. That's where they lost that 5th star, as they would take their tip whether they were good or not. Kind of presumptuous if you ask me but, ok if you only want 18%...you got it. read more

Food is great! Authentic Korean menu. Love the side dishes. Tofu stew, meat jun, mandoo, kalbi all delicious!

Modest place but delish! Everything we had was yummy and the service was great. if u finish ur ban chan and want more, they will bring. My fried squid was absolutely perfect from the tasty sauce to the proportion of squid to veggies. This could easily feed 2. The special my brother had was enjoyable and he ate the entire plate by himself. I will def come back for that squid! read more

Been coming to this restaurant for 10+ years! The house sauce for the meat = spectacular!! At least 15 different options for meat and other sides + ban Chan. AYCE CAN GET BUSY and service will be slower but just call for the staff and they'll come. Parking lot is shared with other businesses so Friday-Sunday nights can get busy. Until 1/31/24 they have a holiday special price for AYCE KBBQ! read more

Han Yang Restaurant - AYCE BBQ Holiday Special - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We went to Han Yang's at around 11:20 on a Friday. There was still parking in the small parking lot and the spaces are a little tight. There are two sections of the restaurant one is for Yakiniku style Korean barbecue and the other side is dine-in. Because we only had an hour for lunch break, we went to the restaurant. We ordered Korean pancake, fish jun and bimbimbap. They gave served us banchan and rice to share among the four of us for the meal. The Banchan was great, amazingly great, very flavorful, and they had their own twist to their recipes. The service was quick, but it took a while to figure out how to pay for the meal. I ended up going to the cashier to pay for the mean. They didn't really check in on us during the meal. The place is a little dated when it comes to furniture and decor. It needs to be updated. Overall, if you are looking for more authentic Korean food in Kalihi, this is a great place to check out. read more

They have good soups. Tofu soup with seafood is good. Vegetables tofu soup is also great. Mochi and Mandoo soup is also very tasty. I like their BbQ chicken plate and kalbi Local short ribs. Fried mandoo is also very tasty. read more

AYCE Korean BBQ that stays on point. Regardless if it's the spicy pork, Brisket, or Ribeye this spot doesn't miss. Been coming here for years and it's remained consistent. Hidden Gem, and a must try when in Honolulu. Service is fast and attentive. Nice location with a good vibe. read more

It makes me so sad to see this place has 3 stars. Since LuLu RaRa closed, this place has moved up to mine and my fiancé's favorite go to kbbq place! Even though we no longer live nearby, we still try to go out of our way to come here. It is now the least expensive AYCE kbbq place with good quality meats. Only $23.99 per person! The beef tongue and brisket is super tender, and they pre-season most of the meats so you don't even really need the dipping sauces much. The kimchi is super wet (just how I like it, but preferences vary), and their salad is good. You have an option of either seaweed soup or bean paste soup (the bean paste soup is one of the best on the island AND it's complimentary!!). They also have an array of alcohols and soju flavors, even makgeolli, which is hard to find in restaurants!! Anyone complaining about the service needs to calm down, there's only 3 ladies working every single day by themselves!! The owner and manager don't help (the 2 men you'll see in the FOH sometimes), so PLEASE be patient with them. We've been coming for years and they've always been very attentive and busting their butts!! Sometimes it takes a little longer for them to get to you, but just be patient and be nice! Also they add a built in 15% gratuity to your bill. I usually tip a little extra but just a heads up. But they have cute little candies by the register you can take usually :) read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Big mountain of brisket, beef tongue and pork belly. Best bean paste stew ever! - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A hole in the wall korean bbq restaurant located in Kalihi. I've been here about twice due to the location connivence from where I reside. All you can eat kbbq for $22.99? Such a great deal compared to those in town. They also offer intestines & beef tongue (my faves), seaweed soup or soybean paste soup included in the ayce. I wanted to try everything and everything was up to par (food wise). They also offer Kobe grade beef for no additional charge. Meat quality was very good. You can also order things off the menu like mandoo & japchae. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the customer service. You have to flag them down to get good service... I also found an employee who wasn't wearing a mask (Covid restrictions). You know it's an authentic Korean joint when you see the ahjussi coming in after work drinking soju and enjoying their meal. Overall- I really enjoy this place regardless of the customer service bc of the food! read more

Updating my review. Been here multiple times since last. Always great. People don't understand that Koreans typically have buttons to press when you want service. You need to ask them. They're busy. Call to them. This is the Korean way. Be polite. Stop expecting smiles, you idiots! This is a Korean restaurant and NOT A KPOP video or luau! Low star ratings for things not relevant. Entitled yelpers shouldn't come here with that attitude. I'll be back again this week. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - brisket, pork belly, cow tongue, soju - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First, pricing is under $30. That's a steal for AYCE. But beware, they automatically include 18% tip without telling you. If our friends didn't warn us, we would have added tip on top the tip. To make matters worse, the service is hit or miss. Some of the servers are pleasant (as pleasant as it gets at a Korean BBQ restaurant), but some are outright rude and will ignore you if they're busy. We lucked out this time with a nice server. I like this place because they give a lot of meat per order. Since you can only order 3 orders at a time, large orders are nice. The food was good... as are most Korean BBQs. What was special about this one was their banchan. Everything was tasty. The lettuce salad is deceiving. Sounds bland and we almost told our server not to bring it. Glad we did because the dressing was super delish! The meats are tender and tasty. I like that they slice their meats thin. The atmosphere is nothing special but the restaurant is clean. read more

Han Yang is well known Korean restaurant for us. We enjoy their seafood pancake, large bone Kalbi, cold arrowroot noodle dish, and many more of their large menu selection. However, the large bone kalbi and crisp seafood pancake are one of our favorites along with the lemon soju. So yummy! Everything remains tasty and the service is friendly and accommodating. read more

I really wanted to gatekeep this place and not post a review because it was really good and I don't want it to get busy. They gave awesome portions of meat but you might need to flag down the server to put in your order. At one point thigh the server was walking around with a big container of meat just refilling everyone. They have a bunch of bachan(side dishes) which they also refilled. The restaurant itself was clean and didn't seem too Smokey . Very casual vibe. Can't wait to go back. read more

Service not as good as it used to be. Been a long time customer (over 20 years). Group came later than mine and had preferential service.

Wow I can't believe I haven't written a review about this place! Han Yang is our go-to for cheap but GOOD AYCE yakiniku. Yes it's a super hole in the wall place in Kalihi but for $19.99 AYCE, it's a steal! The meat is not crappy meat. It's legit. They have a good selection to choose from plus they give you all the banchan and even soup. If you want better quality meat, I would choose this place over Gen any day. This place is a hidden gem! Also I love that the owner is really friendly as well as the staff. You don't get that in a lot of Korean restaurants.. I can say that, I'm Korean! Lol. I know it's been here for awhile but I really hope it sticks around esp during this pandemic. Support Han Yang!! read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Be careful folks, the owner lady tried to give my party of 4 leftover kalbi from prior table. I ordered kalbi (ala cart - which is more expensive vs ACE). Whenever we order kalbi, spicy pork, bulgogi from other restaurants lile Yakiniku Seoul, the plate ALWAYS sizzles. But here it was COLD and the onions plated under the kalbi was RAW. I don't understand how they had the audacity to even think it was a good idea to serve leftovers. Been coming here for years and my goodness the quality and dignity of this place went down big time. The owner (short lady) was really rude, rolled her eyes and started slamming things to show her frustration. ‍ read more

I have been a Han Yang customer many, many years ago, and it was my favorite Korean restaurant, before Korean restaurants were "in". After many years, we went back for the $19.99 all you can eat yakiniku buffet! You have many choices of meats, beef, BBQ pork and BBQ chicken. I was all about the beef! Got kalbi, garlic steak, and salted steak. Its all you can eat, and the meat portions are quite large, so large that I couldn't order any more. You can say im a light weight when it comes to buffets, can't eat like before. Also comes with rice, a few banchan, and choice of seaweed soup or bean paste stew. Why the 3 stars? Well, first of all, the service wasn't stellar, or even good. We were the only customers in the restaurant for lunch (about 1130 am) but the server seemed very disinterested, almost bothered. Well anyway, got the buffet, and chose our meats. Ordered kalbi, but its not really kalbi, its kalbi flavored beef. Still tasted good, but then, it's not shortrib. The other choices were much better. read more

Went of Han Yang for lunch today and got the KalBi (with bones) and Spicy Pork dishes. Portions were very generous, tho admittedly we're not big eaters, and the ban chan (side dishes) was fresh and very tasty. We're Hawaii Kai kupuna, so we rarely go this far for lunch, but Han Yang's Korean food was the tastiest we've had in a long time. Definitely going again when we're in the neighborhood. read more

A mixed bag summarized by the statement, it's a really good value for AYCE priced at $19.99 per person, the quality of the food unfortunately matches the amount you pay. Ideal for folks who like mast quantities of meat (like my late younger brother) or newbies to Korean BBQ. Let's start with the positives, the sides are pretty good, kim chee, potato, bean sprouts, seaweed soup are all worthy of re-fills. We were puzzled after asking for more potato that the waitress said can't order more, all out, is she speaking for all sides or just the potato? Korean kalibi - marinated for too long, it's overly sweet and seasoned, could barely taste the meat. At least it was tender and soft. The salted kalbi and garlic short ribs are better choices. Beef brisket - the beef is too tough, wished that they cut the meat a bit thinner to compensate. Decent marbling gives you false hope. Kobe "meat" - this is a weird description, best guess is flank or bottom sirloin steak, certainly not "Kobe" quality. Has a brownish hue, not exactly appetizing. Not tender or soft. Garlic flap "tenderloin" - I used the quotes for a reason, this is the toughest "tenderloin" that I've ever encountered, more like a prime version of round steak (if such a grading for round steak exists?). Avoid this choice or if you don't believe me, limit to half order just to try. It's not exactly the cleanest of places, our table was a little sticky and the decor a little worn and dated. Other Yelpers gave very bad comments about the service, we found it to be ok, not exactly friendly but very quick and efficient. WARNING - they charge a 15% tip automatically. You need to be paying attention to the details of the bill. read more

Food is bad, we ordered beef tongue, brisket, pork belly. They give large portion of pork compare to the beef. We noticed also included tips already and didn't tell us. They force charge 18% tips and their service is bad. Only nice to Korean. read more

There is no doubt the food is really good. The service is subpar with angry Korean workers who just hate the world. What's so damn stupid about this place is they keep raising the prices every month. I remember when it was $19.99, now it's over $30. The owner (david?) kept saying it's due to the cost of the meat prices, yet you have Gen's that still have their $19 lunch specials and have not increased it at all. Stop trying to lie to your loyal customers all the time. Seriously, a price increase literally every month is just downright greedy. I think just a few more 1 star reviews will show people that they should boycott going there till you guys realize you're being dumb about your prices. Wise up Han Yang, you've been put on notice. ONE THING TO REMEMBER IS THEY CHARGE YOU 15% TIP NO MATTER WHAT. THEY HAVE IT IN "small print" ON THE MENU SO YOU DON'T SEE IT. IF YOU MISS IT YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF TIPPING EXTRA AND WONDERING WHY THE MATH DOESN'T ADD UP. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, THESE MOFOS JUST WANT YOUR MONEY AND FOR YOU TO GET OUT! SEND THESE CLOWNS PACKING AND CLOSE THEM DOWN!!! read more

Two of us got the ayce yakiniku bbq. Food was good and a couple of servers were nice but others weren't so much. We were automatically charged a tip. I don't believe that allows for good, quality service, even if the food tasted good. And, most of that was due to the fact that we cooked the meats to the doneness we wanted. read more

Worst service , 10/10 wouldn't recommend coming here. Rude servers . Rushed us out an hour before closing .

My friend and I had lunch here. We opted for the lunch special, which offered 6 choices for $24.99. An 18% tip was already included on the check for two people, which surprised me. The food was fine. They serve a generous amount of meat in the first round (three choices at a time), so you're full by the time you finish and can't eat the remaining three choices. Smart business strategy. read more

Han Yang is both yakiniku and you can order off the menu at their restaurant. Inside is clean, and there's both female and male restrooms to use. There's plenty of seating available but it can get busy. They do take reservations depending on the amount of people in your party. They use pork fat to oil up the grill, but they also will pour oil if you tellem not to. Their meat portions depend on how many people are in your party, but even if just two people, they load it up. The tofu soup comes off their menu, and that itself can feed like 5 people which is about $17. The AYCE is $29.99 for ages 10 and up. 4 years and under is free. Kinda pricey, but as long as you eat a lot. Also, they automatically add a 15% gratuity tip no matter how many is in your party. The ladies aren't as vigilant to the tables and only come to you when you let them know you need more water or food. It's worth it here if you eat a lot, but just don't expect a five star service read more

If you've never been here before, look for diners and turn into the parking lot. Easy to miss if you don't know where it is. They open early (10am!) and the food is good. I think we went too early because they were still setting up when we walked in lol. I loved the spicy bbq pork and pork belly, my faves when I eat yakiniku. We had to ask for refills on the side dishes, rice and water but again that might be our fault for going in so early. Will try to go again a little bit later in the day to see if they have better service. Price is reasonable too, I believe it was $22.99. Used to go to sikdorak Kaneohe but they raised their prices so I think I prefer here instead. read more

This is honestly my favorite all you can eat, and the quality of the meat is amazing. The owner hand cuts every slice of meat to order. They're always so attentive and kind. The cucumber kimchee and bean sprouts are my favorite side dishes. The David's special sauce is a must have! The meat is always the best and you can always see them slicing it! For $25 + 15% gratuity, this is my favorite and highest quality AYCE yakiniku. The service, the food, the price, all of it is amazing! I recommend this place to everyone because I am a huge advocate for it. As a small restaurant I am always very impressed and grateful for everything here. Thank you to everyone at Han Yang! We come here often and everything is always amazing! read more
