    Base access is required Located at the old Taco Bell/ Pizza Hut building, this business takes up the whole area. There's plenty of parking and seating (inside N outside), so you don't have to worry about that. There can be a wait because food is made to order. I've gotten the catfish, ribs, fried shrimp to date. Everything so far I've really enjoyed. The sides (mac & cheese, greens, etc.) are portion controlled and on the smaller side. So far I have added some seasoning to all my sides but nothing crazy. There is a small stand where you can add salt, pepper, to some hot sauce. Overall four stars. It's a nice southern food style restaurant and they have daily specials. And if you don't want anything heavy they offer those fruit bowl and protein shakes. M

    Smokin' Wings on Wing Wednesday is the best spot on this side of the island. However Fish Friday is a must try to start off the weekend right. The catfish is fried to perfection and the southern seafood seasoning brings your mind back to the Dirty South style cooking and seafood favorites. Highly recommend Smokin'Wings for your fish and chicken plates. Service is always pleasant and served with a smile. Good vibes and great customer service...

    Catfish & shrimp

    Not the fastest but when it's this good you ain't gotta be. I was extremely pleased with my food. Some don't get it right: too salty, seasoning covering the taste of bad fish.... This place hit all the marks!

    Catfish plate, with sides of collard greens mac & cheese came with cornbread and tartar sauce

    Omg.... This place. It has a HOLD on me! I've gotten the jerk chicken plate (always with the collard greens and Mac & Cheese as my sides) and today I got the catfish plate.... It was AMAZING! The only downside to eating here is depending on what you order... it could take FOREVER for your food to come out, but all is forgiven once that food hits your lips. Delicious. Everyone who works here is also very nice

    On Hickam AFB, in the terminal, conveniently located next to the JBPHH fitness center. What set this place apart for me was the collard greens; made with smoked turkey legs. I'm not from the south and my first introduction to collard greens was in the Army. I was so puzzled when other soldiers got a sparkle in their eyes talking about mom's collard greens. I then visited family in Georgia and had good collard greens. That's when I understood. This is real collard greens, not the slop the Army served. As for the fries and shrimp, they were okay. Liked the fact the shrimp were large and not overcooked. The fries felt and tasted like they'd been sitting under the heat lamp for a bit. The lady that helped me was friendly and right off the bat let me know things they were out of. It was about 30 minutes prior to closing so I got it. There's a large sitting area, inside and outside, which was clean and simple. I'd like to come back for the wings.

    I really enjoyed the food I ordered here. The service was very good and the flavor was excellent! I tried the cat fish and the crisp and light batter on it was so good! My friend who grew up in Tennessee loves their chicken tendies, bbq pulled pork and their Mac and cheese ! She says their Mac and cheese and honey mustard sauce tastes so good it's like Jesus Himself made it! Yeah!! I'm coming back to try other things for sure!

    The most flavorful wings are served here. No other wing place can compare. The only problems is you have to have military base access to get it and the hours. A coworker told me about it and I had to go check it out. The restaurant has plenty street parking available. You will also find a seating area before you enter the restaurant. The workers are friendly and super nice. They gave me time to look over the menu and make a selection. Of course I had to try the wings. I ordered the mango wings, fried fish, shrimp, collard greens, mac n cheese, and ribs with the kool aid. The kool aid sells out fast. You will definitely want to get there early. Once it's sold out it's gone until the next day. The wings were everything from hot, fresh, well seasoned and not too spicy or sweet. I was licking up my fingers tearing these wings up. The rest of food was just as amazing. You will have to make yourself not come here. When you try it you will be soo hooked on the flavors.

    Thursday oxtail special was super yummy and full of savory flavor!!! The collard greens and cornbread was delicious too!

    This is the best soul food I've had since being on this island, hands down! I ordered the catfish and shrimp plate for myself and the wings for my son. We ended up sharing both plates because the food was just that good. We waited about 30 minutes to receive the food after ordering but it was worth it. I would definitely visit again when in the area.

    Oxtails

    I loveeee this spot. I usually get lunch her when I'm at work since it's pretty close. The owners are super friendly . My favorite day is Thursday because it's oxtails day!!!! But everything else is super yummy. My other favorite is the catfish plate. I usually get everyone from works order as well so this day they ordered the catfish plate, jerk chicken and some lemon pepper wings and oxtails of course. They said it was good and the only comment was wished they gave more oxtails. My go to spot for lunch!! I suggest calling in your order because they get suuuuuppeerr busy and I'm impatient so I don't like to wait. They also do online order and sell koolaid .

    Probably the worst place to get chicken wings from. Food is great can't complain but the service sucks dick. They cater to some more than others. What ever happened to equality? We are all paying customers. It ain't that hard to fry some chicken and toss it in sauce. I don't see why the 10 customers that got there after me get their damn food before me. This is ridiculous it's probably because my eyes are a little slanted and I'm yellow. But that don't mean that I don't love chicken and collard greens. Y'all chicken fryers need to do better especially crushed ice working the back

    Smokin' Wings and Southern Things would probably be more popular if it wasn't on post. This place is the epitome of a simple hole in the wall place that gets the staples in its name sake right. Catfish seems hard to get right at some places around the island, but not here. Sure they could be a little more hospitable and friendly (to get the "southern" theme aced) but the food is a GIFT! I'm told there is another location, but I went to the one on Hickam at the Space A terminal. I will be back as long as they are open. It cost me around $25 for this plate and a large sweet tea. It doesn't matter If you can't cook but you are craving this or if you can and you are just pressed for time.... Just save yourself the stress and hop on over to the terminal and grab yourself some chow. Also they were out of most of their menu, but the other location is most likely fully stocked. They have a number to call ahead for pickup. Please check the website.

    Y'all this food was so good. Everything was hot and fresh. Taste like the food back home in Georgia. Can't come back soon enough!

    I loved it here. Truly a hole in the wall. Parking is really tough so street parking is usually…read moregonna be the norm unless you get lucky in their tiny shared parking lot. The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

The patty its self was okay. Nothing super special. Unfortunately no spiciness in this dish. And the kimchi was more on the sweet side rather than the fermented spicy. Tried to add their chili pepper water but again I was left without the fiery kick in my mouth. Definitely has a strong garlicky taste though. Service is quick. But came on a Monday before dinner time so it was slow. Lots of seating and open air flow. Direct parking is limited but street parking is available.

    I'm waffling somewhere between a 4 and a 5 for Moobongri's AYCE Korean BBQ experience. For the most…read morepart, their Korean BBQ experience is great. The meat is reasonably high quality, the banchan is generous (the last few times I went they even had poke as a banchan included with the meal), and the service is friendly. The "kimchee soup" is one of my favorite kimchee jjigaes on the island. Refills of meat flow generously out of the kitchen, unlike some other AYCE experiences where each subsequent order gets smaller and smaller until they finally cut you off because you've reached the time limit. I only have one gripe. While each table has a very powerful burner for grilling the meat, their universal approach is to prop up a tilted cast iron plate over the fire to grill on. It's propped at an angle so that the oil flows into a catch pan on the side. This usually means that the half of the plate tilted closer to the fire gets really hot, while the other half struggles to get hot enough and risks just boiling your meat. It also makes adjusting the fire a tricky process - if there's a lull between meats coming to your table, someone might come by and, understandably, turn down your flame. That's fine, but when the food does come out, it takes a long time to get the cast iron hot again. This doesn't stop me from coming back for more here, but just one thing I wish was better about an otherwise great experience. There is a parking lot out front but it is cramped and usually fills up. There is usually someone helping to guide parking, but when it's completely full there's only so much they can do. Street parking in the area can also be a little bit tricky.

    I came here for lunch. I noticed this place changed owners awhile ago. Under the new name,…read moreMoobongri, they offer Ala carte menu items as well as an AYCE menu. I like that they open at 10am and that they serve delicious banchan. I came in one weekday and was seated at one of the regular tables. I guess they assumed I wasn't going to get the AYCE, even though it's pretty affordable for weekday lunch (like $28). Id like to come back to try the ayce sometime. I decided on the cold noodle and kalbi combo for $24. The cold noodles by themselves are only $14, so I thought there would be at least a couple pieces of kalbi in the combo. Nope. Apparently one piece of kalbi is $10. It was served hot, but it was served on a hot plate with onions and the plate itself wasn't hot. Why serve it on a hot plate? Very confusing. The cold noodles were refreshing, but you can get pretty good cold noodles at any Korean restaurant I think. I was a little disappointed in the quantity of food for the combo. Or I wish they had an actual lunch special, maybe I should have just got the ayce at this point right? But I wanted the cold noodles.... Oh well. It doesn't seem like they changed the interior all that much. It was pretty nice inside to begin with and there is a big parking lot. The workers come by when you ring the table side bell. Lol, otherwise they kind of just drop off the food and leave you alone. I was surprised there were like 3 other couples eating from the Ala carte menu at 10:30. I would possibly come back to try their other soups, but I wouldn't get suckered into getting the combos.
