This was hands down my favorite place to eat during our 9 day vacation on Oahu! I believe it's a…read morehusband and wife run spot, with the wife working up front and the husband cooking in the back. We ordered the meat jun, short ribs, and shrimp tempura. Let me tell you...the meat jun was AMAZING! My kids absolutely devoured it. But for me, the star of the meal was definitely the short ribs. They were packed with flavor, the pieces were huge, and honestly, they were some of the best short ribs I've ever had! The only downside was that the food took a little longer to come out. But considering this seems to be a small restaurant , it really wasn't a big deal at all. When the food is this good, it's worth the wait! Definitely one of those places I'll remember from our Oahu trip!

I'm not sure why everyone makes it a big deal that they are a cash only establishment. There are…read moremultiple signs everywhere and the girls will repeat themselves over and over that they do not take any card whatsoever.. that's what CASH ONLY means!! But yes, as of 2026 and all the years prior... bring da Green! The plates are very fat! and maybe that's why people who are fans don't fuss over the price. You can very will split a mini in to two portions and you can sub rice for extra veggies. I love the Tasty Combo bc i love variety, Husband loves the Bibimbap. I don't think the service is bad at all, but the girls are young so don't expect to be blown away. Regarding the banchan, if you want something specific, give them a call bc sometimes they don't have it that day of if they ran out, they don't replenish it. Restaurant is pretty small so although there are tables available, it can get pretty crowded inside so it can be uncomfortable if you're trying to eat. The courtyard is a great option. Anyway- Can't go wrong. Food is always cooked perfectly. I do wish the containers were better quality. They become rather flimsy and soggy real fast. Do stop by and give them a chance. There's a BOH branch and a CPB branch if you need bills.. because you know.. for the 100th time, it's cash only.

Mini plates run about $17 depending on what you get, and regular plates are around $23. When ordering, I asked the cashier if the cook could cut the Kal Bi into pieces. She said, "No can," but offered me a knife instead. I also asked if I could do a half‑pound side order and split it into two items--again, "No can." When I finally got my food, my Meat Jun was cut into pieces... which made me wonder why the Kal Bi couldn't be. I tried cutting it myself, but the plastic knife broke. I went back to get another knife and a cup of ice for my not‑so‑cold soda, but the cashier said we don't have and no cups. At that point, this place should've been called "No More, No Can. The food is good--especially their Mondu Kook Su, which I didn't get this time--but the customer service and flexibility could definitely be better. Marie

It's situated between Far East Sushi and the laundromat. There is plenty of free parking available throughout the shopping center. We visited on a Monday at 7:00 a.m. Please note that the restaurant will be undergoing renovations, so it's a good idea to call ahead to confirm their current hours. SERVICE: The woman who took our order was friendly and patient, especially since we were the only customers at the time. Our food was prepared fresh after ordering, and the wait was very short. TASTE: We ordered the Meat Jun Bowl, which included rice, sliced meat jun, scrambled eggs, diced pickled takuan, and long rice. The meat jun had good flavor, but unfortunately, no dipping sauce was provided. A packet of shoyu was included, but it wasn't a suitable substitute for the traditional meat jun sauce. Rating: 3/5 We also tried the Chicken Bowl, which came with rice, sliced BBQ chicken, diced pickled takuan, and long rice. The chicken had a delicious BBQ flavor, and the banchan complemented the dish well, making for a satisfying combination. Rating: 4/5 PRICE: From 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., the breakfast bowls are priced at $5.70, making them a very affordable option. OVERALL: Overall, it was an okay experience. The Chicken Bowl was the standout, while the Meat Jun Bowl could have been much better with the proper dipping sauce. I'm looking forward to visiting again after the renovations are complete and hope to see some improvements.

By far the worst dine-in experience I've ever had at any restaurant on the island…read more First off, when I walked in, I asked to dine in and took a seat in one of their booths. I was then told that I needed to order at the counter. At the time, I didn't think anything of it, so I placed my order and went back to my seat. Shortly after, I was told that I needed to pay. I explained again that I was dining in, but the cashier continued to tell me that I had to pay first. Since it was my first time at Dong Yangs, I just assumed that was how they did things. I received their complimentary soup that comes with their dine-in plates. Personally, I wasn't a fan of it. It tasted very salty and didn't have much flavor beyond the salt. It did come with silverware, so I assumed everything else would be provided normally. When my meal came out, however, it wasn't served on a plate. It came in a takeout container. Again, since it was my first time there, I assumed that was just how they served their food. I was told I ordered a regular Meat Jun plate and not a mini, which I was completely fine with. But when I opened the container, the portion looked more like a mini than a regular plate. There was only one layer of Meat Jun over what looked like four scoops of rice. The sides were disappointing, and the service wasn't much better. No water refill, no condiments, and no real check-in from the staff. The atmosphere was also extremely dead, which didn't help the overall experience. The Meat Jun itself was actually pretty good which I wa told is what they are known for, and I'll give them credit for that. But for a regular Meat Jun plate costing close to $20, I expected a much better portion. I received exactly 15 small pieces, and they weren't the traditional strips of Meat Jun I'm used to getting. Instead, they were small squares, roughly 1 inch by 1 inch. Overall, this was easily my worst dining experience on the island. The food had some potential, especially the Meat Jun, but the portion size, sides, service, and overall experience just weren't worth the price. One thing that really stood out to me and I couldn't believe was that the complimentary soup came with actual silverware, while my regular meal was served in a takeout container with a plastic fork. I honestly didn't understand that. Unfortunately, they won't be getting my business again, and I wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience.

Five stars for quality and selection of food able to withstand the heat during shabu shabu AYCE. Tan tan broth has a spicy kick, yet quite addicting. Shellfish miso broth is tasty and ideal for those seeking mild palate. Four stars for quality and selection of meats in Yakiniku section. Banchan tasted alright. I really didn't have any favorites. Galbi pieces were sliced perfectly for grilling. Savory marination tasted delicious! Beef brisket was quick to grill and easy to eat. Honey garlic chicken and marination tasted fabulous! Beef bulgogi had too much gristle or fat in between the beef. Bye AYCE Yakiniku! Hello to combos and ala cartes moving forward. Modern ambiance and lighting works well in both areas.

The restaurant is split in half one for hot pot cooking and the other for Yakiniku with exhaust pipes above each grill. The selection is huge on the hot pot side which includes choice of sliced meats and all the counter items from seafood, vegetables, noodles and other items. The appetizer menu and the Dessert and Drink is additional cost if you want to order. The meat you can order they had pork, ribeye, and other grades of meats. They cut it super thin and it sticks to the tray so by the time you get it in the hot pot it is just clumps of meat. The Honey Toast was huge and fed 4 and it was good. The mochi ice cream was also good like the strawberry, but the chocolate was not that good and the ice cream was kind of gritty texture and lack the nice chocolate flavor. The restaurant was clean and service was very good! The restroom was clean and well maintained. The parking lot is large with lots of parking spaces.

This spot is located on the corner of Kilani Ave and Cane St. I personally didn't go in as my Husbabe was the one in the area so I asked if he could stop by. This review is solely in regards to the bento food, not the side dishes that offer. Husbabe stated nice friendly younger worker that was there and a few people in line. We decided to go with LOTS of sides and try out the bento since everyone been hyping the food out here. I got the meatjun bento, which came with chap jae, daikon rice and furikake. My Husbabe got the fishjun bento which also came with the same sides. Let's talk about the bento. My honest review because I had really high hopes, but let's be clear before I go on. We are going to go back and try again, maybe earlier in the day as it was in the afternoon already (12ish). Okay so, the meatjun was really mushy, I thought maybe just that one piece I had, literally couldn't taste the meat, everything seemed mushed together. I tried a 2nd piece and samething. I was really sad :(. I really wanted it to be good. The chap jae was good.The bentos are room temp laid out on a table and not under any sort of warmer, so literally a grab and go. My husband said the same about his fishjun :( . The sauce that came with the meatjun was extremely odd, tasted heavy of some sort of soy sauce. We got gyoza and that was okay, the sauce was the same sauce as the meatjun, so I just made my own sauce. Now let's get to the sides. SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD! My husband got the load of variety (pictured below). We are definitely gonna go back to try the bentos again and I gotta say the sides are so worth it tho and that kimchee, chef's kiss...

Love that they put the spice level beside each item for a heads up the staff here is nice and as they were more flooded with orders than I realized as they do take phone orders it did take a bit for my order. Since I was dining right there among the bench it didn't need to be separated and loved that it was served on a tray along with a side of kimchee yum the ramyun had a soft cooked egg and some carrots a nice and simple snack which gave me much needed boost though as it was basically no different than a bowl of instant noodle this was crazy overpriced and glad that I didn't get the soft tofu which was $13.50 which I didn't need that type of spice in my life.
