I eat here a lot. It's smack dab in the middle of where I live and my job. When there's no place…read moreelse to go, I come here. My go to as of late has been their kalbi & bbq chicken plate $22.29. It comes with four sides, two scoops of rice and two mandoos. I like to come on Mondays and Wednesdays, because they have the eggplant veggies that I like. It's only available on those days. The other sides that I usually get are the shoyu potatoes, mayo potatoes and cucumber kimchi. Sometimes, when I don't feel like rice, I'll get the chap chae instead. Their meats are usually excellent: well marinated, tender and grilled to perfection. I also love that this dish comes with two pieces of fried mandoo. Out of all the Korean bbq plate lunch spots, Peppa's is my favorite.

Or after work after a long shift and you don't wanna cook. 2 plates could feed the WHOLE family. The ole reliable in my opinion. The sides are always fresh, the mandoo and chicken cutlets are always crispy. The meatjun is soft and tender. I have never been disappointed ordering a plate here. My recommendation: 1) order ahead, juuuuust in case they're busy. 2) order the regular, so you've got lunch for the next day

I have made a few phone orders and none of my orders were ready when I went to pickup after giving them time to prepare. This place lacks customer service. The vegetable trays were near empty on some items and didn't know how fresh it was. The Mac salad was loaded with too much mayo! the meat juhn was not cooked well as the egg batter still looked undercooked as well as the meat. The meat was cold in some bites. A little dissapointed for a 23.00 mix plate - Kalbi and meat juhn. Think we can find better service and food elsewhere.

(Tookout 04/18/26 SA @ 3:00pm): I think I saw Kim in the back cooking the Korean BBQ!…read more In my quest to continue exploring the various cuisine scenes as well as other businesses throughout O'ahu's Windward side, specifically the neighborhood of Hawaii Kai (southeast shore of the island), I ventured into Kim's Korean Bar B Q since I was craving this particular type of grub. Plus, I don't think I've had Korean BBQ on the islands in some time, so it was perfect timing. I've become a regular at Kona Brewing Co. which was an earshot away and always saw this eatery at the corner. Would Kim's cooking satiate my urgings for Korean BBQ!? PURCHASE(S) 10pc Fried Mandoo ($8.59): Crispy crunchy pork dumplings with a soy dipping sauce, this lovely appetizer was hot and stuffed with plenty of goodness. Nothing memorable, but since I was starving, these tasted marvelous! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=__g9-H0iFLuWdI0hdFqVjg Kim's Special Combination Plate ($27.63): A sizeable meal that came with portions of kalbi, BBQ chicken, and BBQ beef, and also included 2 scoops of rice, 2 pieces of fried mandoo, and 4 side vegetable choices (mac salad, 4pc tofu, seaweed, and kimchi in this case). Everything was hot, especially the meats and mandoos which were cooked-to-order while the sides were pre-prepared and displayed in warming trays as you chose what you wanted. Each meat portion came in two pieces with my favorite the kalbi followed by the BBQ chicken and then BBQ beef. Each was nicely marinated, but the BBQ beef reminded me too much of Yoshinoya... which wasn't a bad thing but wasn't what I wanted to eat at this time. Each side was basically served in cup portions but seemed to lack much flavor except the kimchi which had a nice fermented punch to it. Kind of pricey, but I was able to make two meals out of it, so not too bad. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=bOAMKHlK8F0Ck2ylqvD_lQ Credit Card Fee 3.00% ($1.09): C'est la vie; small businesses need to try and pass along added expenses when they could. SERVICE I was greeted by a young gentleman at the order counter whom I placed my order with. There were others before me whose orders were still being prepared, so I ultimately waited for about 15 minutes - no biggie as I gazed aimlessly out towards the turquoise water in the marina. Everything was fine - mahalo! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance): Located in the outdoor Koko Marina Center, there were plenty of spots although I decided to do the 30-minute one-way walk for exercise - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple takeaway only place with a main order counter where you saw the menu on the wall behind the counter, Plexiglass acted as a barrier but provided you with a view of the vegetable sides, and a handful of chairs along the walls while you waited for your order to be ready. I dared to say there were some tables inside at some point because there was room, but not now; you either took it home or ate your food outside on the random tables. No decorations of any kind. But, you had a lovely view of the marina. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the front doors and surrounding windows while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=8vIqYoqVrc02TfRpngYe4w ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Kim's Korean Bar B Q offered some large portions of lovely local food at reasonable prices, straightforward service, and a nice view. The menu was somewhat limited, so if you went often you'd exhaust your options. However, I imagined they did very good business for catering purposes. And, whenever possible I liked to support small local mom-&-pop-like businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $39.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Hands down the best Korean BBQ place to get takeout!…read more Our family loves all the flavors of the family packs which come with an assortment of meats and banchans! Perfect for easy dinners that taste amazing and include so much food you'll have enough for lunch the next day! Everything is so flavorful and always prepared to perfection. I've even stopped by just to pickup banchan since all of those are so tasty as well. They also sell combo plates which have a lot of food included as well. Highly recommend calling the order in ahead of time (even hours ahead of around any holiday) for easy pickup. The inside is very small with only a small counter and a couple seats to wait. The parking lot is small but I've always been able to find a spot. Love me some mama woo's!

It has been our go-to restaurant for the past two years, and each visit reminds us why we continue to return. The food is consistently satisfying, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff always make us feel welcome. As a family of five, we usually skip the all-you-can-eat option and instead order a few of our favorite dishes to share. Our usual lineup includes brisket and bulgogi, both flavorful and quick to grill. We also order Japchae, which is always a hit at the table. It is comforting, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. The soft tofu soup, Sundubu-jjigae, is another staple that we all enjoy sharing. On our most recent visit, we decided to try a couple of new items: the chicken stir-fry and the tteokbokki. Both dishes leaned toward the sweeter side, but they were still very enjoyable and made great additions to our usual spread. Shortly after placing our order, the banchan (side dishes) arrived. We received kimchi, fish cakes, marinated cucumbers, potatoes, spicy radish, marinated sprouts, and salad. The selection changes slightly from visit to visit, but the flavors are always consistent and fresh. We also received some seaweed and fried mandu. Overall, every time we eat here, we leave full, satisfied, and happy. Some nights are busier than others, but the restaurant always feels welcoming. The service is one of the highlights of dining here. The staff are attentive, kind, and never make us feel rushed. Seoul Garden Yakiniku truly feels like part of our family's dining routine, and we are glad to have a place that feels as comforting as the food they serve.

Korean chicken wings for dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Located at the busy corner of Young Street and Pensacola Street, this Vons Chicken has no parking lot. There's metered street parking in the area. Inside, there's not much air-conditioning. It's basically a takeout place, but there were 3 stools for counter seating. My sisters like the Crispy Shoyu wings, so we had a full order which is 18 pieces. It took about 15 minutes and came out hot and fresh! I was able to carry the box without a package (because I didn't want to pay 30 cents for a bag) to my car. It was delicious! There was a mix of flats and drummettes... no tips... yay!

Your second choice of meat offered is: meat jun, bbq chicken, spicy garlic chicken or spicy pork. I chose the bbq chicken with my kalbi. For my four banchan sides I got the seaweed, kimchi, fish cake and shoyu potatoes. Overall, the plate was good. The bbq chicken and kalbi had that char taste that I love. The meat was tender. I loved the shoyu potatoes. They use the smaller potatoes with skin on, which is different from the other bbq places. The fish cake was too spicy for my liking. It was really peppery.

I originally came in for the Meat Jun, but unfortunately it was sold out, so I went with the kalbi and garlic chicken instead. This spot is strictly takeout, as there isn't any seating available. I was really looking forward to trying the Meat Jun, but I'm so glad I ordered the garlic chicken. It was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of spice, making every bite incredibly satisfying. The kalbi was also flavorful and paired well with the meal. Since there wasn't anywhere to dine, I ended up enjoying my food outside the bank across the street, which worked out just fine. One downside to this area is the lack of public restrooms. It's a shame because that was the one thing that kept me from spending more time exploring and enjoying Honolulu.
