In addition to the banchan you also get salad, steamed eggs, your choice of soup/noodles and ice cream! In addition to the assorted meats. You don't just pick one, you get 4 different meats and a lot of them Will check out their aina haina location next

AMAZING lunch specials!…read more I got the cold noodle and the kalbi lunch special for about $30. Also shared a couple of other lunch specials with friends. The saba was DELICIOUS! Honestly, everything was super good. I love the purple rice with the kabocha pumpkin. Highly highly recommend for the lunch specials!!!!

I am so glad we voted to come here bc I was in the mood for some bossam (tender/boiled pork belly)…read morewith friends who inspire me to level up my food and drink game... and here we are. I enjoyed everything we ordered (via table tablet), the ttteok (rice cake) had the perfect soft/chew, both sauce and kimchi jjigae were flavored to my liking, and I kept grazing while my (low-ish) spice tolerance was struggling by every savory chew.. so I toggled between the fresh banchan, purple rice, tender slices of bossam, and shots of cold soju (to help forget my tastebuds embered into a small fire), without losing face in front of my spice-tolerant friends. I don't think they noticed... Service was fast and friendly, and the vibe all around was energetic but not deafeningly loud... like I didn't have to shout at my friends. We parked on the street bc the lot was full. This place was busy, and I can see why! Will definitely come back here again (& would not be opposed if we ordered the same things).

Came here for the first time in years. The restaurant definitely changed and is more upbeat. We…read moreordered the Kalbi, Corn Cheese, 1/2 order of Bossam, Kimbap, Kimchi Jeon, and Meat Jun. Everything came out fast and freshly cooked to perfection. Every dish was flavorful and delicious. I wish the Bossam came with more veggies because the meat to veggie ratio wasn't near equal. They don't have white rice here and only have purple rice which tastes fine. Overall, a bit pricey, but food quality and portions are excellent. Staff are fast and super friendly. Lots of tables to dine at. Parking lot is a bit small.

Food: The food was good. I had no complaints. I ended up…read moregetting Meat Jun and Seafood Pancake (sharing the pancake). In total it was about $39. Taste wise the meat jun with the sauce was not sweet. But I enjoyed it regardless. The quantity was great! Along with the unlimited banchan I was a happy camper that got to take extras home. Service: Great! I called 2 hours beforehand on a Friday for a reservation for a party of 8 + a baby stroller and they accommodated us wonderfully. They also allowed us to split the check at the register by items. They gave e water as needed as well. Atmosphere/Ambiance: Casual. Where you feel you can go into after a long day and have a good meal. Would I go back again? Yes. :) My only regret was that I ate my food and enjoyed the company I was with, forgetting about taking photos for this review.

Right next to H-Mart is Seoul Cook in Kaka'ako. I was starving after taking two back-to-back…read moreworkout classes nearby and my friend recommended we get food here and I'm so glad we did. First off, all the complimentary banchan (Korean side dishes). From the classic kimchi, fishcake, cucumber kimchi, and radish. And if you're dining in, just ask and you can get refills of whatever you want more of. If you're doing take out, they still give you all of the banchan!v We did dine-in but take out / online orders seemed popular. But I loved dining in because of the Ajumma here! She was so sweet and funny, and even made the perfect bite (radish kimchi on top of the meat jun, so the acid offsets the oily fried jun) and fed it to my boyfriend LOL. We got a ton of food! The seafood soondabu soup, seafood korean pancake, seafood bibimbap, meat jun, and zucchini jun. We had a lot of leftovers that we took home. The food was good but it's really the service and love that makes this a 5-star experience.

The tofu was silky soft and fresh, soaking up all the flavor from the broth. The lunch set is a great value--you get soondubu bubbling hot, rice, and banchan that were all solid and well-seasoned. Portions were filling without being heavy, which makes it an ideal lunch option. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast even during lunch hours. This is definitely one of those places you crave when you want something warm, satisfying, and comforting. I'll absolutely be back for this again.

However, since I was in the area, my partner and I decided to give it another shot...and now I'm hooked In fact, I went three times last month. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is on another level. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend calling ahead for reservations. My go-to order is always the poke and kalbi, and the third dish depends on whatever my partner is craving that day. Parking can be a little challenging, but I promise it's worth it. Everything we've tried has been absolutely delicious. If I could, I'd eat here once a week! It's currently my partner's and my favorite spot. 10/10, highly recommend!

The seafood chives pancake was very good and tasty. The bulgogi Hot pot was also very filling and tasty. The banchan was very flavorful and tasty and kept refilling it.

The quality of the meat was good. The staff help cook, cut, and serve the food. It is on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.

Friend suggested here as a centrally located place for several of us to get together…read more Service - male server was accommodating Female, not so much. Had to call and up the count on our reservation twice, female did that well. They put us in the far back corner and it was warm. Female did come and turn the fan on after a little while, explaining the AC was broken. Fan did help, but I was near the fan. I don't think it reached the folks farther in (there were 8 of us). Three of us ordered the stone pot bibimbap with bulgogi. One wanted to sub BBQ chicken, was told, "no." She had to change her order since she doesn't eat beef. Friend later told me she had been accommodated before, but these seemed to be new owners.) Two ordered BBQ Chicken plates, one the stir fried squid, one kimchee fried rice, one meat jun, a fish jun. Ban Chan came - two sets (one per table of four) of bean sprouts, fish cake, Choi sum, potatoes, kimchee. They were good. Cold water was served, and after a while we were given a pitcher so we could refill our cups, which was good. Food didn't take overly long to come out but wasn't really quick. (There were only two servers and the restaurant filled up quickly.) Stone pot bibimbap flavor was a disappointment. Only gochujung sauce to add, no sesame seed oil, so it was bland. Both of us who got it didn't think it was very tasty. Otherwise, it was nice and hot, and there was plenty of crispy rice after mixing it all up, and it included a raw egg which added some flavor, but not much. I will not get it again. Those with the BBQ chicken said it was tasty and juicy. Meat jun and fish jun was ok. Kimchee fried rice and stir fried squid were very spicy. Flavor was ok. Had to ask for our checks, were told they had only two staff working so they were very busy, but they kindly accommodated four separate checks for the eight of us. Not sure if I'll return. Prices are reasonable for the portion size, but no AC, bland stone pot bibimbap, we're not to my liking.
