Real Me's BBQ is Re opening!! To my surprise, another owner's self-proclaimed Korean BBQ restaurant calling itself "Me BBQ" had already opened in the original location about a month earlier, and the NEW owner informed me that this restaurant had bought the business rights from the original Me's BBQ. But what a false story it all is. As a one would expect from such a popular restaurant, even thieves appeared. I'm sure the rumors of the opening will bring more and more people back to the real Me's BBQ . Please come and support the real Me's BBQ by visiting the new and beautiful Me's BBQ . This restaurant opened yesterday, 4/16. The new location is diagonally across from the original location, on the first floor of the same building as Iyasume, famous for its spam omusubi, and the former Jinroku restaurant. The taste and volume are still the best! It was a great Korean barbecue. By the way, today, perhaps because of the opening, we received four kinds of side dishes and even Drinks for free. It was very delicious. Thank you very much.We Love you So much ! 驚く事に、元の場所には、1ヶ月前くらいに、ミーバーベキューを名乗る他のオーナーの自称韓国焼肉が既にオープンしていて、この店が元のミーバーベキューから営業権を買ったとその店のオーナーから私は伝えられた。しかし、なんと全てが嘘の物語。。。さすが、これだけ人気のミーバーベキューだけあって、盗っ人までが登場。ますます噂が噂を呼んで、多くの人が本当のミーバーベキューに戻ってくる事でしょうね。是非是非皆さん本物の新しく綺麗になったミーバーベキューに行って応援してくださいね。昨日4/16にオープンしました。 新しい場所は、元の場所の斜め向え、スパムおむすびで有名ないやすめと同じビル1階で元甚六とういレストランの跡地です。 味もボリュームもやっぱり最高！のKoreanバーベキューでした。ちなみに今日は、オープンとあってか、おかずが４種付いてきて更にジュースまで無料で頂きました。とても美味しくいただきました。 感謝感謝。 愛ラブユー read more

I'm part Korean and I've been going to this establishment for over 20 years, I just had the Sunny's Special and everything was really awful and tasted terrible including three of the four choices of vegetables (bean sprouts, cabbage and kim chee). The chicken katsu and meat jun was paper thin and tasteless. The fried mandoo was oily and burnt indicating the frying oil hasn't been changed. read more

Delicious food! We got the bbq chicken plate and got to choose four sides! They have great service and a clean restaurant! 10/10 recommend! read more

Me's BBQ - Bbq chicken plate with rice, macaroni salad, corn, and noodles! - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ordered the oxtail soup with 2 side dishes. Very disappointed when open the lid. Saw pieces of oxtail with little meat. Some veggies, broth was tasty but surprised to see oxtail that way. Usually, it's a whole piece or two. I know oxtail is expensive but to see in pieces is disturbing. The two sides, Mac salad & Cole slaw were bland. Love to see add more taste (seasoning) and portions. I may go again but try other items on the menu. read more

I am so happy to be able to eat here again!! Just as I was about to step into the old location, I read some reviews that it was actually next to the musubi shop. Since the last few times I returned to Honolulu, I've been looking for this place but it was unfortunately closed. Just as good as I remembered, or even better. Portion was big! The gentleman who helped was very helpful and nice! Highly recommended. You already know that I'm coming here again read more

Always try come here when I stay working in Waiks. This the OG one no get conned by the junk knock off across the street. Best shoyu potato of any Korean plate lunch place if das your jam. Rice, perfect. Meat Jun, perfect. Even da bbq chicken is bomb and I usually no like em. Sunny's special is da one. Go sampo today. read more

I know the controversy between the name of this place and the one across the street in the original location however, I ate at both during this trip and the one across the street and the original location has far better food. The noodles,galbi, the Mac salad and the kimchi were all better at the location across the street. I've been coming to this place for years, and the food has definitely not held up over the years. read more

This unassuming Korean BBQ place tastes amazing and is a good portion of food for a great value. I got the Me's Combo with spicy pork and bbq beef and was really impressed. Super flavorful and surprisingly tender. Glad we stopped in! read more

Authentic vibe.. huge portions and plates. Perfect for after a Long Beach day. The chicken katau was cooked perfectly and the short ribs were so delicious. Will definitely be back... can't forget the Mac salad too! read more

Me's BBQ - #36 with Mac salad, potato salad, and glass noodles. - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

NEW LOCATION!! 2427 Kuhio Ave, around the corner of the Pacific Monarch Hotel on the Prince Edward Street side Please don't go to the wrong place thinking it's the same owners. 2427 Kuhio is the original and best Me's BBQ since the 90s. We are back again posting a review! I added the same verbiage above because you have to make sure you visit the correct spot. 9am we were back for breakfast. The staff remembers us and greets us with a smile. Food never disappoints us. Perfect before and after swimming. read more

Me's BBQ - Quick breakfast before we hit the beach. Spam,sausage, rice, and eggs at the NEW LOCATION!2427 Kuhio Ave! - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

the one thing i wanted to eat my first time visiting Oahu was chicken katsu. I had more difficulty finding a spot than i anticipated but Me's BBQ was the solution. while i was hoping for a more hawaiian spot, this is a korean restaurant. i was able to get japchae as a side along with rice, macaroni salad and corn. the server was not welcoming, i did not feel comfortable asking about different side options. they did have a menu you can view before ordering you food so i would suggest that first. the place was nothing special but did have good seating available. i would come back for the food. read more

They're finally back! I've been waiting for their return, and they're back across the street from their old location. Their food is better than ever! I still love their BBQ chicken and Mac salad. Their sides are all so darn delicious , it's hard to choose. The portion size is still HUGE! One plate lasts me two days. I'm so happy they're back! read more

This place closed during the pandemic and we were so sad about it. It's been a Hawaiian staple for years that we always look forward to visiting when we're in town. This is the ORIGINAL Me BBQ, they opened a second one at their own location using the same name. We love the kind service. Everything is made fresh to order. I love the look of their new indoor dining. read more

The real Me BBQ is across the street in a new spot. Same great food and service, glad they are back! Looks like they also kept their Yelp reviews. Had a quick breakfast with eggs, portugeuse sausage and rice, best $9 i spent in Waikiki read more

The Kalbi was delish!! Some of the best food in Waikīkī. Prices were decent and food was plenty!! Service was walk up, she was very sweet. Hot inside, probably should add a couple fans. Definitely a place worth trying!! read more

The food is excellent and the portions are generous. You can smell the food before you even get there being cooked and it smells so delicious. Service is very friendly with a smile and helpful. The location and the atmosphere and the vibe is very positive and attracting. Highly recommend this place, The barbecue mixed plate is very very good. read more

This is the OG Me's BBQ and it's absolutely fantastic! This was the first time having them and I was blown away.

The food was delicious! We ate there twice! Be careful there is a restaurant nearby with the same name.... I'm sure their food is fine but not sure why they are trying to trick you! read more

Me's BBQ - #14 Sunny Special - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

There is always a line at this place! I tried #36, Kalbi bbq and chicken katsu. The kalbi is well seasoned. Wasn't really a fan of the chicken katsu, it tasted as if it has been sitting out for a while. I also got the macaroni salad and broccoli as my sides. Macaroni salad was meh, no taste. The Hawaiian restaurants in LA is much better. Overall, if there is no line, go for it. But I wouldn't wait for it. If I am craving only kalbi bbq, then for sure I'll be back for a #1. The cashier lady has a RBF, don't expect a friendly service, but don't take it personal as well because they do get busy and the Place is so small that they just want to get everyone in and out with their food. read more

Best freaking food, absolutely love it! Friendly service and great portions for the price! I could not stop myself from going multiple times over the week I was in Waikiki. Seating is limited but I'm willing to stand and eat to have this amazing food. read more

Food was amazing! we love me's menu, and the quick hot food. Same location and glad they finally reopened.

If you're in Waikiki and craving authentic, no-frills Korean BBQ, look no further than Me's BBQ--this spot is an absolute gem. We always make it a point to stop here every time we're in town, and the Kalbi plate with steamed rice never disappoints. The beef is marinated perfectly, grilled just right, and served hot and fresh--you can smell that smoky BBQ aroma before you even get to the counter! One of the best parts? You get four side dishes of your choice, and they're all packed with flavor--kimchi, pickled veggies, japchae, and more. It's a great way to sample a bit of everything and makes the meal feel complete. Located just a quick 5-minute walk from the Hyatt Regency, Me's BBQ is the perfect casual stop whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting at one of their outside tables. The staff is friendly, efficient, and the food comes out quickly--even when they're busy. Affordable, satisfying, and delicious--Me's BBQ is a must-visit if you're near Waikiki Beach and want something hearty and flavorful without the tourist markup. read more

Food was amazing and reasonably priced. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. Definitely will be coming back and recommending to others. read more

The new owners are keeping the name and pretending to be the old family owned business at the old location. They fly in the Bibimbop from the mainland frozen Not authentic Korean food. The original Mes moved across the street to the right of the food truck. Have seating indoors and out now also and same authentic food and menu. And cucumber kimchi just like my Grandma's read more

The short ribs are amazing!! #1 large came with 2 sides so I got kimchi and noodles. It's a little over $20 with the cc (4%) fee for a plate. The short ribs were delicious and the portion was perfect. The kimchi was also great! The noodles were interesting, they were quite peppery. Unassuming place, 100% worth trying. In comparison to Boston Korean bbq short ribs I'd say the taste is definitely better here! read more

Me's BBQ - #1 - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Definitely not worth the price and hype. The #1 combo comes with white rice, 2 sides and short ribs. The portion is tiny 6 pieces for $19. One of the pieces was half fat so was a bit disappointed. For the flavor, they were a bit too sweet. The service is cold and unfriendly. But can't expect much more from a tiny take out spot. Outdoor seating only. They prefer cash, 4% charge for CC Limited street parking read more

Same great food. We ate here for lunch. Great kalbi plate. Food was wonderful and quick, beware the one in the original spot is a copycat. This one is legit and has been around forever. Just new location. read more

I love this place! I'm so glad they opened back up! I got the kalbi plate and it was a 10/10. Their new location is great and has more room than the old location. The line goes by super quick and all the food is super fresh. I hope to come back before the end of my trip :) read more

This place is right down from the hotel we stay at and it is a good little spot for fast and pretty good Hawaiian breakfasts and Korean food. I ordered just the Hawaiian breakfast of Portuguese Sausage with over easy eggs and rice. For $7 it was great. Everything well well cooked and prepared. After ordering it though I think I missed the boat. Their Korean food looked amazing and although my breakfast was good, their Korean style meats and kimchi looked even better. The prices are great for their location and there is usually a line at night that goes quickly. I think this place is a good place for a fast to go meal. read more

Me's BBQ - Portuguese Sausage, eggs, rice. #45 - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fast, hole-in-a-wall Korean joint! The food is always amazing. If you don't know what to get, pick one of the Combos (I believe it's #16 or #17) and you get to taste a little bit of everything and you get your choice of two banchans! I decided to get the Tofu Soup out of curiosity and my goodness, it's so goddamn good! I've had all types of Korean stews in ktown in nyc and the Tofu soup here just kicked all the other stews I've had. Such a shame that this place is closed on a Sunday! We wanted to leave Hawaii with this as our last meal :( read more

Everything was delicious. Very good service. No complaints at all. My son called it legendary

The best Korean barbecue place in Oahu. All of the Bonchon is spot on. The best Galbi as well. These are the real owners. Don't be fooled by the wannabes in the old location. Much cleaner and nicer in the new location. Can't wait to go back read more

Even though their spot got taken it's still the same awesome food. Their kalbi is delicious and in a large portion.

Rude service, but food is so good. They are Korean owned and super authentic, but with that...you get a poor attitude. The woman behind the counter didn't greet us at all and she didn't make any eye contact. At one point, I saw her rudely yell at another customer that requested sauce. The woman specifically told the customer, "this is not spicy sauce! It is for katsu not for Kalbi!" They have signs that sauces are extra charge but she didn't even offer the customer to pay for it. Luckily they are fast and I didn't have to watch her rudely yell at others for long. The food was really good. Meats were marinated well and the mac salad was seasoned. But, the winner was the kimchi! Both the cabbage and cucumber kimchi was *chef's kiss*! Best kimchi I've ever had. The lines were really long and I can tell why they get so much business because their food is good...just be aware of a bad attitude. read more

It was my first day in Waikiki and this seemed like a good lunch spot. It was empty when I arrived and I checked out the menu and it seemed pretty good. I ordered the bbq chicken which came with rice and you had the chance to pick 4 sides. I choose brócoli and 3 other types of salads. I waited about 10minutes for my food to be ready which was reasonable. I took the food back to my hotel room and enjoyed it there. It was amazing. I really loved the flavor of the chicken and the sides where great too. If I'm ever in Waikiki again I will definitely come back to eat here. read more

Always a must when we stay in Waikiki for the last decade or so, and the quality is still consistent and hits the spot. Not gourmet Korean, but you're not expecting that with this hole in the wall. What they do well, they do really well, which is the proteins. BBQ chicken full: charred bbq chicken with 4 sides. Delicious and perfectly charred. Got a side of gochujang to add a little spice and definitely recommended. Sides: Got the potatoes, spicy cucumber, japchae, and Mac salad. Mac salads a 4/5, rest are fine but not outstanding. Potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. Japchae was a bit bland and spicy cucumber needed to be chilled and was lukewarm so not as tasty. Still, they all were collectively tasty and went great with the meal even though individually they weren't stand outs. Sunny combo special with meat jun, bbq chicken and Galbi: Favorite was the galbi. Meat jun was good but a bit chewy so could have been more tender. BBQ chicken was great. Portion was very good for the price! Will be back! read more

Really good food for a great price! Me's BBQ is one of the best spots I visited in Oahu. I love their expansive menu and great food. Everything comes in generous portions and is fresh. Their new popcorn chicken is a must try! Lines can sometimes get long due to how popular this spot is with tourists and locals alike, but it's worth it! Seating outside is pretty limited, so be prepared to get everything to go. read more
