Located in the Ala Moana Center food court, Yummy Korean has been a longtime staple here. I was craving seaweed soup, but unfortunately they didn't have it that day, so I ordered the tofu soup instead. It came with rice and four choices of banchan. The soup was warm and comforting, filled with a nice variety of vegetables. My husband ordered the meat jun, which was delicious. It's something we always try to get whenever we're in Hawaii since it's hard to find back home in California. The portions were generous, we even had enough leftovers for breakfast the next day. There are plenty of tables in the food court, though it can get busy during dinner hours. I really appreciate that the food is cooked to order, even though it's located in a mall food court. read more

We had a Yummy Korean BBQ on Maui years ago which turned into a Pearl's Korean BBQ, so I was curious to see how similar or different they are. ATMOSPHERE: They're part of the beehive AKA the Makai Market Food Court at Ala Moana Center. Seating is indoor communal. They're so busy they have dual ordering lines. MENU: Korean BBQ in a variety of proteins. FOOD: BBQ Chicken They gave 3 boneless/skinless thighs that were flavorful, moist and grilled nicely with a nice char here and there. As for the banchan or sides, the bean sprouts had green onions and carrots mixed in which was odd. The mayo potatoes were comparable. But, they have something Pearl's doesn't (on Maui, anyway) which is Korean spinach, and it was good. The portion size between the two businesses are comparable, meaning generous! SERVICE: Food is made to order and took about a quick 5 minutes. Ladies at the counter were very friendly. OVERALL: I guess it's a tie. read more

This has been my go to place at the Ala Moana shopping center for about 20 years. It's always on point, the meat is cooked to order, and the service never got any better. The ladies there always acting like they don't like you and don't want to be there. lol But the food is worth it. read more

Was looking for some good cold noodles. The ala Moana center? Yes. Looked at all the restaurants in the food court and by passing all the food in warming pans for something fresh. Yummy had Korean cold noodles. Hubby had the bi bim bop and I had the bi bim kook su. Got our food after a bit of a wait. They make each order fresh. Excellent believe it or not. Delicious. I'm Korean and the veggies were fresh, tasty, and reminded me of my mom's noodles. Packed with bulgogi, pickles, spinach, kim chi, radish and a sweet savory spicy sauce. The bi bim bop was also delicious as well. All in all really good. Location is the location. read more

I mean...I can't even recall how long this YUMMY's has been at the food court. It's probably one of the first and still standing spots. If you're in Hawaii, you GOTTA GET THE MEAT JUN. It's hard to find in out of state places, at least in vegas. So, I lived my best life with the rice and everything in the plate. Banchans were good. Portion is quite large. On a side note, they don't do free refills on the sodas. But that was probably and obvious one. I'm just used to free refills at a lot of food courts in the USA but Hawaii is different. read more

So this unassuming spot inside of the Ala Moana food court is great! I got the combination Meat Jun and Kalbi that comes with four vegetable sides with two scoops of rice, a ton of food! They have two food lines that they open up when it is really busy. We waited about 5 minutes for the food to be ready, mostly due to the time it takes to make the meats. Meats: The meat jun is actually really delicious, it is very thinly sliced marinated beef dipped in an egg batter that is then pan-fried, a Hawaiian fusion on Korean BBQ. One of my friends grew up eating it in Hawaii all their life and was astonished that it didn't exist outside of Hawaii. I really enjoyed it and the Kalbi - very good! Sides: For sides I got the Japchae, mac salad and two orders of the kimchi. I liked the kimchi but isn't a traditional taste, a little milder and almost sweeter from what I recall. I didn't like the mac salad as much as I thought I would, I probably wouldn't get that again. I would totally go here again! It is good Korean food with a Hawaiian twist. read more

The food court in Ala Moana is an overwhelming place with so many options but one that stood out to me was Yummy Korean BBQ as I was after something very specific, Meat Jun. What is Meat Jun you ask? Meat jun is a Korean-Hawaiian fusion dish made of thinly sliced marinated beef that's coated in flour, dipped in an egg batter, and pan-fried until golden brown. It is uniquely delicious that gives you an egg battered meat that fills you up fast. The sides were also delicious of the potatoes and vegetables. I was stuffed with this meal and for the price I felt that it was great value. Service can take a while as everything is made to order. Give it a try if you are at Ala Moana Food Court. read more

I've been patronizing Yummy Korean BBQ for a long time and it's one of my Go-to places for fast local style Korean food. It's conveniently located in the Ala Moana food court which can get pretty crowded at times but has otherwise been remodeled very nicely. They have very good variety of different dishes and all of the side options are displayed for you to choose from (such great variety as well!). Some of my favorites include meat Jun and the potato side. The portions are also large and in most cases a mini size is good for me, and the prices are decent. The food took about 10 minutes and they are pretty efficient in their service. Yummy Korean BBQ definitely lives up to its name! read more

Yummy Korean BBQ - Meat jun mini plate - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Tried Kalbi and Katsu here and both were good. The portion was big just like other Korean plate lunches so it can be split between 2 people. Side dishes were good. Good selections of veggies. Service can be slow and sometimes may have to wait for a while. Otherwise it is still a good choice among other eateries at the Ala Moana food court. read more

Yummy was our go-to every time we went to Ala Moana. So I decided to pick up my dad's fav fish jun plate to surprise him for dinner. So disappointed that the employee heard my order wrong and gave me meat jun instead. (And I didn't bother looking at my receipt) Veges were good but the meat jun was thin and dry. And 2 pieces for $18.95! I thought the regular plates used to come with 3 pieces because the mini plates had 2 pieces. Maybe shrinkflation hit these plates too. read more

Visiting my family in Hawaii and reminded me of going to high school and getting Meat Jun for lunch, but only having enough time to get it, come back, and eat it in class. Definitely still tasted good but had better. We went close to closing so that's probably why. Still ate all of it! The veggies were always my fav! Have to get the seaweed and broccoli! read more

Ala Moana Ymmy seems to be giving a lot less side dishes. The amount of sprouts are unacceptable! The girl have my friends and I little veggies, but when a group of the same ethnicity as her I noticed she gave a lot more! read more

First time trying Meat Jun! Flavor was there especially with the sauces but the meat was super thin and hard to taste. I was told some places can do it thicker which sounds good. The sides were on point though as I was craving some veggies and the broccoli and seaweed had lots of good flavor. Service was fairly quick as the mall was packed on a Friday night. read more

Very disappointing and inedible. I ordered a mini bbq beef with side of macaroni salad and Chap Jae. The rice was extremely hard. It tasted like old rice. The bbq beef was all in tiny pieces and very hard. The best thing was the Chap Jae. The macaroni was heavy. Too much mayo. For the price, the quality is terrible. Don't recommend this place. Lose money. read more

I wish we had this type of food court option back in California! It's simple -- order what kind of meat you want and then you get to choose 4 sides (plus free rice). With so many side options, I was extremely excited! I got the jap chae, bean sprout, leafy green, and cabbage. All the veggies were yummy but the jap chae was my favorite. The pork itself was tender, but on the salty side. I didn't want to eat too much, since it was a lot. Paired with a bit of rice and some sides would be the perfect bite. The ladies working up front were nice and very quick! Great concept, maybe just lighter on the flavoring. read more

The meat jun from Yummy Korean BBQ is amazing 10/10 going back there and great service too!

Very crowded Yummy Korean BBQ located in the Ala Moana food court . I ordered a Meat jun and Kalbi combo . My sides were japchae , Kim Chee, garlic potato and Mac salad . Their meat jun was ok it was marinated already with the egg. Kalbi was ok a little burnt but good taste . The bad thing about this whole ordeal is there so many flies enjoying my meal instead of me . Ala Moana Management surely needs to do something about this . Support local read more

I love me a Yummy's KBBQ! This is located in the Ala Moana mall food court. My go to is the Kalbi plate with a side of japchae noodles and kimchee. I go with the mini plate as I only need two sides. It gets busy so be patient for your food to grill to order. read more

The food is good. We got the combo bbq with meatjun. Hence I'll give it 2 stars and that's being generous I know this isn't a dine in restaurant. But your employees were more focused gossiping with each other than greeting or smiling with their guests/customers. It was bad , they were speaking their native tongue, while the other person is in the BOH area. So it was loud, and the lady didn't even bother making eye contacts with us as she asked what's the sides we wanted. She proceeded to have a conversation with her co-worker while getting our sides... Retraining please. read more

Food is good but Kim chee is terrible! I don't know why they even call it Kim chee. It has no taste, it's white and just has a sauce poured over the cabbage. It needs to improve! Make real Kim chee! Stop cutting corners! People will go elsewhere to find good Kim chee! read more

Yummy Korean BBQ is a great, affordable option for Korean BBQ lovers looking for a quick and tasty meal in the Ala Moana Food Court. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: Located in the Ala Moana Food Court, Yummy Korean BBQ offers a quick yet satisfying Korean BBQ experience. Despite being in a food court, it provides fresh, flavorful grilled meats like bulgogi, pork belly, and beef brisket. The all-you-can-eat option is a great value, allowing you to try a variety of meats and sides. The banchan (side dishes) are basic but complement the BBQ well, with kimchi, pickled radish, and seasoned veggies. The dipping sauces, including ssamjang and sesame oil with salt, are excellent for enhancing the grilled meats. Vegetables like mushrooms and onions are also available for grilling. Service is efficient and friendly, and while the food court setting is casual, it's still a fun spot for a quick BBQ meal. The food is high-quality for the price, though it can get busy, so be prepared for a short wait. Pros: * Fresh, flavorful meats. * Good all-you-can-eat value. * Fast and friendly service. Cons: * Can get busy with wait times. read more

The cravings are real... After a full adulting errands day why not treat yourself to something you'd really want. Yummy was something mom usually gets and to no surprise it was what she wanted. Located in Makai Market which is on the street level behind the Center Stage as is the major of the two food courts and though there's a bunch of seating it can get crowded and pretty hot as well. Mini chicken plate is what she wanted which comes with a scoop of rice and a single side choice though she got an extra side instead of the rice and her choice was the shoyu potatoes and my choice is the mayo potatoes lol! We both later realized it was just chicken and two types of potatoes which even the staff though it was funny and said that's why no need rice haha!! There was a short wait as they prepared the chicken which came out hot and loved that it was done perfect not overcooked and dry and it was just the perfect amount for us as it was a much needed refueling. Thank you! read more

Got their beef which would be the bulgogi for Korean. Why so salty? So much sodium it's almost unpleasant. We could not finish the beef & had to simply eat the appetizers that comes with it as those were better. Maybe the beef is not fresh & has been sitting in the sodium rich sauce for a very long time? Typically they have more of a sweet soy glaze, so surprising to experience such a bad version of it in Hawaii. Try other items on their menu, please... read more

Decent Korean fast food when looking for convenience at a reasonable price. We purchased side orders of both chicken and bulgogi plus two bonchon - spicy cucumber and japchae. It came to less than $40. Service was good. The lady was helpful in helping us figure out what to order since we already had rice at our timeshare. She suggested side orders of meat and the portions were generous. Great advice. Restaurant is in the food court at Ala Moana, so not a quiet place. It could get very crowded and seating can be hard to find. Thankfully, we took our food to go. read more

Went during lunch like usual. Ordered and had to wait 20 mins for my food. People that ordered AFTER me was getting their food BEFORE me. After 10 mins, I asked what was going on and they said it takes long to cook. I know that was total BS considering I order this ALWAYS. So fine, we waiting after they called 7 numbers after our the lady I talked to saw we were still waiting, she went to the back of the kitchen and I see her move a container that was hidden to the side into the window and comes to the front and tells us its ready. I am mad. That is very poor service. read more

Got takeout ordered the bi bim kook soo got home and there was no meat in the plate just vegetables and noodles the lady at the counter even asked me if I wanted fork or chopsticks which tells me she didn't even look at the plate before she packed it I tried calling but of course no answer never ordering from this place again horrible service read more

The food here isn't bad, but a little pricey for the food court. I usually get the mini plate kalbi with four pieces of fried mandoo and it comes to around $23. The plate is $17.50 with two sides and a scoop of rice. I don't like rice, so I sub it out with another side. I add on the four piece fried mandoo for another $3.79. I remember when you could add on the four piece mandoo for $1, lol. The mini plate kalbi consists of three strips of kalbi. For my three sides I usually get the shoyu potato, mayonnaise potato and choy sum. Sometimes, I'll switch it up and get the chap chae or kim chee. I have no complaints about the taste of the food. It's always good and I eat here more than I care to admit. Besides the kalbi, I also like the meat jun and fish jun. read more

I love the concept. You order the meat entree & get to choose your sides. I usually get the mini meat Jun plate. The regular size plate is enough to feed two people in my opinion. I honestly come here more for the sides then than anything else. I felt the last time I went, the meat Jun wasn't the best & it seemed very "eggy". The prices have definitely gone up thru the years, but what place hasn't experienced that. read more

Yummy Korean BBQ - Mini Meat Jun - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great fast Korean food. I got the special combo which includes beef and chicken and it was exquisite. The food has tons of flavor and meat cuts are great. The side choices are equally impressive. The prices are very very reasonable and if you are not a big eater, you can share a plate because the servings are huge. The only thing I didn't like and it's not related to the restaurant itself, is the seating. The restaurant is located in the food court of the mall so it gets packed! Crazy packed after school gets out and the tourists are there in masses. Besides that, Greta place to eat and definitely a must if you are in Oahu. This will be my must visit stop in Oahu when I come back. read more
