Dining area
Danielle R.

Service is fast and friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food portion is great if you get your plate without rice, they give you an extra choice of a side.

Ready to order
Dolan T.

For years I've been going to tasty BBQ even when I moved from Mililani, the Place is still one of my favorite places to go for Korean food, I love their special plate but today I went light and got a mini plate but I just love the vegetables and the taste of the food before I was used to Dong Yang in wahiawa another childhood memory place but this is my spot from High School till now, service is always excellent, fast and a great takeout place if you got to go, [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's mellow not to noisy, I love it there and if you never know you need to go[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Mini meat Jun plate without rice (extra side if no rice) - shoyu potato, mayo potato, Kim chee
Gen G.

Great Korean spot! Meat jun is our go-to! Side veggies are always so good. Their Kim chee is bomb. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly staff, clean restaurant and very generous plate sizes too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Keep in mind they are cash only. We'll be back!

Tasty special and mini meat Jin
Trix Q.

There are great options to choose from and the veggies sometimes vary. Staff is excellent and always nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere has a good old local dinner feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located within a mall so there are plenty of seating inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is CASH only.

Mandoo kook soup
Lauren D.

They serve a lot of food for the price, which is nice. Food is pretty tasty. I usually get the meat jun plate but today decided to try their mandook soup and it was delicious!! So tasty, albeit very salty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service is pretty quick and they have some indoor benches and tables to dine at, thought you order at the counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Regular combo- meat Jun and bbq chicken with mac salad, potatoes, kimchi and cold noodles
Jennifer S.

Talk about the biggest plate ever!!! It's my birthday and we've got a lot going on. My husband said the least we can do is grab lunch. Korean food sounded delicious so after running some errands we dropped by. Walked in and ordered at the counter and paid. There's seats and tables to eat there but we had to run home so opted to take to go. We ordered one mini kalbi, regular combo with meat jun and bbq chicken for my daughter to share and then a side mandoo. Food was ready in no time and it was piled high. The mini plate came with 2 side dishes and the regular came with 4. Our bag was so heavy and the food could barely survive the Togo container. Got home and we were super hungry but we barely put a dent in our regular plate! My husband enjoyed his plate and happy to say, we'd definitely come back. The sides were my favorite but I'd probably skip the kimchi next time. Not as flavorful as I had hoped.

Kimchi soup meal (mild meant cabbage not kimchi I guess)
Jason Y.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]There was no dine in option but at least there's tables outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food takes s lil bit to make, but not too long of a wait. Quantity of food is great, but flavor is kinda lacking. Vegetable sides were a little disappointing as they were a bit bland. Our mistake asking for a mild kimchi soup as it ended up coming out clear. At least we were able to get a small sauce from them to add in after. For the prices you'll pay, probably best to walk 50ft and get better options at Mililani BBQ.

BBQ Beef
Reef A.

Been coming here for years but never left a review. Most customers usually takeout here although there are a few tables to sit. It's a simple casual no frills place. I usually get the BBQ Beef and you can substitute rice to get the 5th side order. Food tastes good and portions are generous. This place is popular so you know the food must be good. The counter is usually well staffed so service is quick. Never had any complaints about food or service except that they accept cash only. It's good that they give the total price upfront when you make a phone order and tell you it's cash only. Parking for this shopping center is large but many times is full. Always a good spot to get Korean food in Mililani and the prices are reasonable compared to the nearby Korean restaurant across the courtyard.

We missed the Korean/Hawaiian Fusion barbeque when we left the Island in 2012. Tasty was one that we frequently visited for lunch as we worked nearby. It was not my favorite, but after this visit it moved to #1 as the other ones took a serious step backwards in quality & taste. Tasty was Tasty, from my fish Jun to my wife's soup and all the sides. The Staff was friendly, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there is seating inside & out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely #1 out of the four we revisited on our Island Homecoming.

Kalbi
Van K.

I eat here way too often It's something about that Kalbi, that bbq chicken, the way they scoop your 3-4 banchan choices, the way the Mac salad mixes with the white rice, that pickled daikon and carrot is top tier. This place is cash only! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has enough seating but I usually just bring it outside to sit on one of the tables provided.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Awesome staff, and it's nice to see younger folks working. Nice job Tasty for employing our youth!

Meat jun and BBQ chicken combo
Donny S.

Not worth it for the price. Meat in the meat jun was very thin and batter hard. Chicken was in big chunks with bone and over cooked so was tough. The sides were the saving grace but not worth the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of stuff piled around the chairs so not a good place to eat either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The…read moreattentiveness and service has slowed dramatically since my last visit here over 10 years ago but I've experienced worse so i tend to not be too critical. They do have a sign in sheet but i didn't see them actually look at the list so keep an eye out if you find yourself having to wait outside for a table. The Tempura combo is still great, the Tempura fat and crispy but airy, meatjun was plentiful. Could even be enough to take home but I was very hungry. Bibimbap was a generous portion and had a offering of rice, green salad, bean sprouts, beef, and egg. Banchan was plentiful and you can always get refills. The Restaurant is a good size, there are maybe 10 booths but the ceiling was leaking so there were paper towels and buckets all over the floor, really couldn't help it bc the recent storms really did a number the last two weeks. Still, be careful as water was dripping on both the tables and seats. I did notice a bit of phone orders... like phone constantly ringing. The Owner still pleasant answering everyone and tending to us. Though we did have a great visit, we may do take out next time.

Sunday July 5, 2026 First time, we coming here with a party…read moreof 4 people for the AYCE Lunch. Plenty parking. Service is fast and friendly from ACE our server. We ordered 1 of everything on the menu. We all came hungry and ready to eat!! Lol. The grill is different as it sucks the smoke down. You can feel the air being sucked down as you put your hand above the grill. Grill not hot like other places. But, it takes longer to cook. That's okay, we have an hour and a half to cook and eat. That's fine, just eat fast. Lol. Food is good. Honey Toast was really good!! Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here. We will be back again.

For shabu shabu everyone gets their own small pot of broth to boil food. Shabu shabu is a little cheaper than the yakiniku. We did shabu shabu. For dinner and on weekends you can order rib eye, short rib and tan tan broth with an infused oil. Dinner menu is slightly different than the lunch which is cheaper. Lots of veggie, seafood, sauce and noodle options. Only a handful of meat options which are ordered through the waitress in 3 oz portions. Broth flavors were great! Service was excellent! Ended with honey toast which had 3 scoops of Dave's ice cream flavors of your choice.

Finally able to try his place after nagging my Husbabe that ive been wanting to try it out because…read moreof the hype from the people in Wahiawa. 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...
