Great quality of meats and sides. Very big portions. One plate gives me two meals. Service is usually very quick. They're located in Kam Shopping Center next to Times Supermarket. read more

I love Peppa's, but have not eaten at this location yet. When we passed by at Kamehameha Shopping Center, we stopped in for dinner. They were quite busy as people were popping in and out. I got the mini kalbi plate $17.99 with a side of four piece mandoo $4.29. The hubby got the bbq chicken plate. The mini plate comes with two sides and the regular plate comes with four sides. I subbed out my rice with another side, so I got the shoyu potatoes, mayo potatoes and pickled cucumber. The food was delicious. The kalbi was nicely marinated and had that char taste to it. I especially liked the mayo potatoes. Some places don't add enough mayo, so it's dry. This place drenched the potatoes in mayo. Some people might not care for it, but I live for it, lol. The prices here were kind of high. It's the same prices as Yummy's at Ala Moana Food Court and I know the rent there is much higher. The food at the Ala Moana Yummy's isn't as good as here though. read more

The staff are rude, and wearing masks behind a large glass enclosure makes it impossible to hear them as they angrily respond to basic questions. Food is mediocre, and very greasy for Korean. read more

Solid spot had the peppa's special.They load the plates and I love their banchan selection. Could have added more but meats were straight to the point not like Kim chee but good enough.Thats my opinion and standing on it. read more

I came in 15 min before they closed without knowing and I wondered why that one girl was giving me the eye. I told them I could leave it's ok but they insisted on taking my order. I got spicy chicken wings, Kalbi, and meat Jun. 10s all the way read more

Tried their Bi Bim Bap for the first time today. It was delicious. The rice was perfectly sticky, lots of vegetables and a generous helping of BBQ beef to top it off. Very, very delicious. I ordered take out, staff was nice and helpful. If you enjoy Korean fast food you will love Peppahs in Kamehameha Shopping Center in Kalihi. A must try. read more

Peppa's Korean BBQ - B - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A couple of months ago, my friend picked up a combo plate for us and we enjoyed it! They were generous with the banchans and the food was tasty so decided to pick up our lunch from here. I ordered the BBQ Chicken for my husband without rice so I can choose an extra banchan. He chose bean sprouts, choy sum, mayo potatoes, shoyu potatoes and chop chae (noodles). It came with almost 4 pieces of chicken thighs. Asked him if he enjoyed the food? He gave me a thumbs up! I ordered the Meat Jun for myself also without rice so I can choose an extra banchan. My choices were mayo potatoes, bean sprouts, seaweed, choy sum and chop chae (noodles). They gave 3 larges pieces of Meat Jun...wish it was cut into 2" strips for easy eating. Took it home so I cut the Meat Jun and the BBQ Chicken into bite size pieces. Food came out pretty fast. When she passed me the bag, I swear it was over 5 pounds...soooo much food! It could feed us for 2 or more meals each! I like that they let you choose from 12 different banchans instead of having the same 3 banchans other Korean places prepare for all plates AND you have to take the rice. Once this happens, I usually avoid going back but...I will definitely be back at Peppa's! The workers are pleasant and food was very tasty. This place is located in the Kamehameha Shopping Center and lots of free parking. read more

Peppa's Korean BBQ has become one of our regular spots especially when we're not sure what to eat and find ourselves really hungry. We usually end up here at least once a month, and it never disappoints when it comes to portion size. The plates are absolutely massive, easily enough for two meals, which makes the price pretty reasonable. My usual order is the kalbi with either bbq chicken or meat junn. The kalbi is tasty, though it's cut thinner than I prefer, and the chicken can sometimes be a bit dry. Still, the flavors are solid overall. The meat junn, on the other hand, is large, flavorful, and satisfying. The sides are always a highlight. They're well prepared and complement the mains perfectly. My personal favorites are the mayo potato and long rice they're consistently good and always hit the spot. Peppa's might not be fancy, but when you're craving a hearty, filling meal, it definitely gets the job done. read more

Peppa's Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Solid choice for Korean BBQ. Prices for these days isn't bad. Some of the competition is $23 or $5 more per plate. I get the combo plate and it's either two meals or share with my other half. Combos are about $21. Double protein basically. Portions are decent. Sides are very average and basic. All the usuals. If you go early they'll have egg. After lunch forget it. read more

Very standard spot for me to go to when I want to make sure I'm eating veggies haha. Wait is usually around 15-25 minutes. They give a little less sides now... just a bit. I normally get a yukgaejang or meat jun (or combo with kalbi). Yummy. They are inconsistent with sides, sometimes the bean sprouts are seasoned really well and other times barely seasoned. Sometimes the cucumber kimchi is bad and sometimes it's good. I tried the new spicy fried chicken this time, and it was ok. I wouldn't get it again but it wasn't bad. read more

Peppa's Korean BBQ - Spicy fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I don't know what happened to this place. Generous portions are long gone. Yet the price increased. The two new Filipina ladies have changed the vibe at Peppa's. They are skimpy with their banchan. This makes no sense to me because the prices went up. It's also so annoying to hear them gossip in Ilocano for everyone to hear. This is about the only time I notice them smiling...when gossiping. It's too bad they cannot greet you with a smile. I watched these two new staff interact with customers. Not the same quality service as years ago when the other two Filipina ladies took good care of customers. As an example, a gentleman had never been there before and couldn't decide what to order; rather than assist the customer, the staff (taller Filipina lady) acted like a robot, simply repeating what was on the menu with a flat affect face. I am sure this was not the first customer that left, vowing never to return to this place again. The quality of Peppa's food is not the same. Portion sizes down. Prices up. Customer service disappointingly down. I don't see people dining in like before. Management should consider making changes or you will lose more customers. read more

Hole-in-the-wall location (like so many other Hawaii food spots) serving up Korean/Hawaiian fixings. Portions are massive here so be warned. I got the Peppas Special with comes with Kal Bi, Chicken, and beef for the proteins. Plus 4 sides of vegetables of your choice, 2 scoops of rice, and a fried man doo + zucchini. There's a lot of vegetable sides to choose from and my favorites were the mac salad and the japchae. The kimchi was kind of a let down and didn't have much flavor, which was weird because I tried my gf's spicy cucumbers (which have a similar flavor profile) and those were way better. For the meats, the Kal Bi was the best meat so I recommend getting that. The chicken was also very tender and flavorful. And the beef was just okay. You can either eat at the store or take it to-go. There's no real service as you go up to the counter, order your food, and then they'll call your number when it's ready. But overall I think this is a pretty good spot to get some good food and huge portions. read more

Peppa's Korean BBQ - Peppas Special (Kalbi, Chicken, and Beef) - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I had stopped here to pick up a plate lunch for my grandma and I to share. I got the meat jun and fish jun mixed plate with 4 sides. The sides were delicious and it's nice to have 4 sides with your entree. While I was eating the meat jun, there was a sand like texture in my mouth. I looked through the meat jun and to my horror, IT WASN'T COMPLETELY COOKED!! I was in shock and had to hurry to take it away from my grandma. My grandma is old and I didn't want her to get sick from the food. The rice was also so much that it just stuck together in one piece. With the different delicious restaurants in Kam Shopping Center, I'd give this place a pass and go somewhere where the food is cooked thoroughly. read more

We were regulars at this location when it was Yummy's but they sort of lost us over time when the portions just seemed to shrink. The last Bibikimkooksoo we ordered had a sliver of chicken...and our other plate just seemed skimpy. Decided to give it another try today and discovered Peppa's replaced Yummy and we were pleased that quality seems the same but portions seem more like what Yummy's (and most Korean restaurants) used to serve. I used to think that all Korean take outs served generous portions as a matter of principle and a fair minded business approach, so hopefully Peppa's will maintain their course and earn many happy returns. read more

Great quality and quantity in food but I hope to see a bigger variety of sides in the future.

The quality AND quantity exceeded my expectations! Food was absolutely delicious, I called in my order and they had it ready in 10 min.

Service was great meal came out quickly. Ordered the Kalbi and Meat Jun plate. Kalbi was good however the meat jun portion was huge however didn't care for it blan taste and the dipping sauce was terrible. The sides were Outstanding. Should have gone to Kim chee 2. read more

Ordered a tofu soup with 4 pc side mandoo/kimchee, choi sum, bean sprouts, and cabbage. Mandoo: well seasoned and very moist with thin crispy glistening skin. This is the kind I like to eat dry. Tofu soup: lotta tofu, tasty broth. Mucho veggies, big fat chunks of brisket. I pushed those brisket chunks apart with my spoon. Rice: soft. lol. figures. Not my style but not gonna affect the rating Banchans: . Wow! Flavorful, crisp, fresh. These packed a little more punch than I'm used to, all that flavor makes gives it some weight. Not just a mouth cleanser anymore. Talk about QoL. Quality's great for price point. Yum! read more

This is definitely my go to peppas. Always fresh and the sides are definitely best quality. There's always a bunch of people picking up or even just sitting in. I've seen whole families. And they are quick! I went to GameStop which is a couple doors down for about ten minutes; came back and it was ready!!. Can't beat the portions either ~ I'll be back ~ read more

Luck of the draw. Sometimes of the servers are generous with the sides. Some are very chintzy and barely fill above the partition. Those times I feel like they're cheating me cause the prices are so high. Kalbi is good though read more

Stopped into Peppa's for an easy dinner and it did not disappoint. A lot of food for the price! It's counter service and also buffet style for your sides so outs pretty quick to grab food and sit at a table. I had the mini plate with chicken, cucumbers, and japchae. The chicken was tender and it had great bbq flavor, the cucumbers had a little spice but were crunchy and great, and the japchae was great as well! This lasted me about three meals! read more

4 1/2 stars! I got a chicken-bulgogi plate to-go and it was weight heavy! For $20, its a sharable serving. The ban chan servings look fresh and replenished. The flavors overall were delicious as expected. 1/2 star deduction because I thought the Mac salad didn't taste like the creamy mac-salad I remembered and there was not a chopped turnip ban chan. I feel its my personal preference so I won't hold it against them. Also, since the service and our take-out mega plate was semi-quick and weight-heavy, really no outright complaints! read more

Peppa's Korean BBQ - Crazy heavy plate lunch - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This restaurant could easily be overlooked when you go to Kam Shopping Center. It's not too far from Times Market and is a slice of a building. The restaurant has seven booths, but it is hotter than Hades in there. It's like the AC is not functioning whatsoever. Eating outside is much more pleasant than inside the restaurant. The wait staff is quick to take your order once you walk up. The orders come out pretty quickly too. There's a good selection of entrees and their serving sizes reflect the economy nowadays. read more

Love this place. These da kind plates I no mind spending $20. Vegetables are great. My go to is bbq chicken and meat jun combo. Heavy plates. Good for two meals. Go try um. Action! Shootz! read more

Definitely my go to for a last minute dinner. Been going here since I was a little kid. They changed the name of the company but still have the same old workers. The place it always good. The portions are always big. And if you ask for no rice you get an extra choice of side vegetables. My favorite dish Eder is always the kalbi and chicken combo but this time I got the kalbi and fish jun. the vegetable sides are always good and always can't finish it in just one sitting. read more

Peppa's Korean BBQ - Kalbi and fish jun - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Prior to this it was Yummy's Korean BBQ now changed to Peppa's. Nothing has really changed, just the name. I do notice sometimes there's inconsistency. Potato salad is good some days, other days its just mayo on potatoes. Another day it's really garlicky. Meat juns pretty consistent here I noticed regular plate and mini, they give the same amount of meat jun. You would think a regular would have 1 more added. I came here, the customer service isn't really good. The woman in the front took a few minutes to take my order, although she saw me walk in. Instead of getting off a personal call ( i could tell because she continued talking and then told them to wait after taking my order went back on the phone ). I felt like I was intruding and interrupting her. I kinda rushed ordered. Parking is plenty. As it's right in Kam shopping center. But it can be difficult because parking does get busy with all the other stores in the area. read more

Good food but bad customer service. Staffs gossip too much that they overlook their open hours. It says on their door, they open 10:30. However, it was already 10:33 am but they still haven't turn on their lights. Tried to open the door, and fortunately it's already unlock. I asked the staffs if they're gonna open yet because it's already 10:33 am on my phone (real time). However, the old lady staff argued with me that it's only 10:28. I told her it's already 10:33. And she was firm that they're still close and following their wall clock. Sorry for interrupting your chitchats & gossiping! The staff also acted unprofessional by retaliating and giving me so little amount of food than the usual. Should have an accurate time & set an alarm so you're aware when you're suppose to open! read more

Peppa's in Kalihi Shopping Ctr., Honolulu has been a regular for awhile. Like everywhere in the island, the price goes up, the portions go down. One of the things I like about Peppa's is you can choose your vegetables or side dishes, but I've noticed even that is getting less & less. Customer service is also important in review & is valued here in Hawaii as well & my recent experience was very unpleasant. No thank you, no smile & when I asked for a receipt was told verbally & had to write it down myself. read more

Think about Yummy's on a Red Bull.. Think about yummy's sides, but add a little more flavor, freshness and a little more choices. Think about Yummy's , meat juhn and Mondoo and barbecue beef and add a little more flavor and a little more fresh preparation. Think about yummy's combinations and add about 7-10 more combos to choose from. Plus add new menu item like bbq pork chops, and other weekly specials. The restaurant itself has about seven small booths, which are clean. It's surprising since it is in such a small spot. The counter help is quick and efficient. You may want to try this place if you're in the area . I would give yummy's a two star rating and so a three star rating is pretty good for fast food Korean. read more
