    Located toward end of Hekaha, on the right side of the driveway/road, just before mandatory left to end of parking and complex.

    Rating four stars only because it wasn't "amazing". Went twice, once after lunch and other in morning on my way to work. Both times, their tuna roll was really good. I didn't take pics - canned tuna w mayo, cucumber and pickled daikon. Small roll like cucumber or daikon-only type of roll. Tried meat juhn (tasty), steak (asked for medium, it wasn't but at least it was tasty). Also tried kim chee fried rice which had an over easy egg. It was alright. Rice was too mushy for my liking. Had diced spam, not enough kim chee and so so in taste. Service was always friendly. Man at front very friendly. Woman/cook, came out to the front the first time I went when I didn't know what to order. She recommended the steak and when I said I didn't want mac salad, she offered vegetables, so she was nice and accommodating. Prices reasonable considering today's inflation. Cheaper than most dine-out places. Be prepared to walk out of the place smelling like the restaurant, haha.

    My $7.00 breakfast bento.   Not bad

    I was on a mission to try a new breakfast bento and decided on Harbor Snack Shop. Their selection of breakfast bentos are limited, around a selection of 3 types. I bought a smokies bento that had a slice of ham and two eggs over hard for $7.00. Takuan or a little tsukemono would have been nice. The bento as good but not great. I don't know if they put out lunch bentos later but allI saw was the breakfast one's at 9:00 AM. There isn't that much stuff in this store but the bento was decent and cheap enough for me to return.

    No welcome, no eye contact, no thank you. Customer service is definitely not on their priority list.

    Update 7-2-26 after our hair appointment I wanted to eat just mandoo for lunch so since soon's kal…read morebi was around the corner we went. Came home and was disappointed this time the mandoo was garlicky and lots of chives. Maybe this batch was heavy on the chives and garlic. Im not a garlic and chives person a little is ok but wow it was overwhelming. Even my husband said so. Maybe next time they'll not put to much.

    HISTORY: Soon's korean bbq smoky aromas drenching the neighborhood are a core childhood memory. I…read moregrew up in the 80s nearby, cruising Salt Lake Shopping Center from back when there was Pioneer Chicken and Kana's Ice Cream and Pay n' Save and Sizzler's. My parents would stop pick up Soon's on the way to UH games at the stadium, a Saturday splurge (they were never cheap) when my mom didn't have time to make musubi and hotdogs. Maybe i'm suffering from "da good ole days" syndrome, but my first trip back to Soon's in about ten years left me Broken Hearted... VALUE: the portions were OK, Soon's always gave a satisfying portions but never "masu's massive" satisfying. I thought they used to drop a rubbery fried mandoo as a bonus side with your plate but i could be wrong and i got none today. AMBIANCE: it seemed cleaned up, definitely. but like when you see an old plantation house with a thick coat of bright glossy latex it just felt a little off in a less charming, trying-too-hard kind of way. For reference, I absolutely love the "Honesty" of Bob's BBQ on Waikamilo, and BBQ Kai in Waianae. FOOD: I ordered a couple BBQ Chicken and Meat Jun plates for some contractors working on my parents' house nearby, thought that was a safe bet but NOPE. I felt bad i gave the contractors the terrible meat jun i wanted to apologize was so embarrassing. MEAT JUN - (2/10, +one point cuz it didnt give me food poisoning). Soon's version always was thin, but today was Next Level chintzy. I dunno if the meat was over-pounded flat to stretch it out but even WITH the coating it was the SIZE AND TEXTURE OF BITING INTO A STICK OF STALE WRIGLEY'S JUICY FRUIT THAT WAS FORGOTTEN IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BACKPACK FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS DURING A HUMID SUMMER VACATION, but without the burst of fruity goodness. So maybe a more apt analogy would be texture and flavor LIKE BITING INTO A STICK OF CLAY. MEAT JUN SAUCE - (nostalgic 8/10). sweet and tasty, but Why do they give only that MINI thimble portion cup of sauce?!? THE CLAY-LIKE MEAT JUN DOESN'T EVEN FIT THE OPENING OF THE TINY %#@$ CUP!! BBQ CHICKEN - (solid 6/10). Always over-marinated, the classic soon's tasty but heavy handed preparation. Clearly benefits from nostalgia. OTHERS - the BBQ meat / bulgogi is also over marinated, with small/medium shreds of slightly dry and too-hard meat. meh. - the "banchan" tsukemono kimchee foil pocket of veggies was always a treat, but so small. plus the kimchee is super weak more orange and sour than truly tasty. The TREAT - SECRET IS TO POUR A PRECIOUS FEW DROPS OF YOUR TINY CUP OF MEAT JUN SAUCE OVER THE VEGGIES TO GIVE IT A TASTY KICK. VERDICT: I grew up with Soon's, but I want to remember them fondly so I'm Never going back. My parents still live in Salt Lake so I'm sad. Guess I'm just going to file Soon's away with the fuzzy old memories of Aloha Stadium, the Islanders, and the 'Bows v. BYU. Next time i need Korean bento I'm going to Gina's.

They have free parking in the small lot right outside their restaurant, but there is also paid parking across the street. We were lucky, and people were leaving as we got there. For 7 of us, we got the rabokki, meat jun, half order of bossam, and kimchee pancake. This was more than enough food for everyone, and we probably would have skipped the kimchee pancake next time. The food was really good, and I would definitely recommend the bossam if you're with a group. The meat is super soft and flavorful, and even the half order was a generous portion. We also ordered the lemon soju and yogurt soju pitchers. They have tablets for you to order the food, which was super convenient. The food comes out pretty quickly, and the service is friendly. Overall, would recommend here for good Korean food and fun vibes.

The restaurant gives off Korean pub vibes, decently sized, and best suited for smaller groups. We ordered a variety of food: chicken combo, kimbap, bulgogi, bossam, and spicy rice cakes. The food was very delicious. My favorite was the bulgogi because it was tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the spicy rice cakes, but I wish they gave a bigger portion of it.. The chicken was okay, but not something I'd order again. The spicy sauce was drenched all over the chicken and was very spicy. The regular crispy chicken didn't have enough salt for me and was overcooked.
