Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Aiea, HI

“I lived in Korea for six years. It’s hard to find that perfect beef and leaf joint you remember from your Sam gyup sal days in Korea, but this place can do it.#1. The staff is great. I enjoy seeing them every time I go.#2. They have the soju, the Korean beer, the makgeolli.#3 The BBQ is on point, the sides are delicious and the kimchi is always great.If someone doesn’t like this place, then they don’t like real Korean food. Plain and simple.“

“1/7/2022 My super sweet pal sent us two Mandoo Kook Soo bowls for dinner. She texted me that she did so at 5:33pm and when I looked at the link, it said the order would be delivered in about an hour. The food was delivered by UberEATS at 6:08! We saw on our camera that the delivery man put the package on the mat, stepped away, used his phone, and then left, so it was completely contactless. The Mandoo Kook Soo was delicious! The broth was tasty and not oily and there were a lot of pieces of meat that were thick but tender. Lots of green onions and egg too! And the Mandoo and noodles were the perfect consistency & not mushy. This Mandoo Kook Soo was a real treat! The pic I took of the food looks even better than the photo that they had on UberEATS. I'll have to try this place the next time I go to PearlRidge.“

“Strawberry soju is my fave, food is great. Not keen on cooking it myself, but all in all very good place to come eat, drink and enjoy“

“Food & service were exceptional!“

“Refreshing small picked dishes and tasty spicy beef tartare cold noodle. The cold soup broth that came the noodle was exceptional cooling down the body on a hot and humid afternoon. The oxtail soup was also smooth and nourishing. Dishes were well balanced of texture and flavors. Staff was helpful bringing extra bowls to share.“

“Mama Woo is the always best place in the area!

and everyone who works there is so friendly.
Awesome 100/10!!“

“Fantastic #4 BBQ chicken. Lots of food for a good price in Hawaii. This isn't a great sit down place but I was planning to take food to go. I loved they didn't take 30 seconds to get my food. They cooked the chicken fresh on the spot. I waited about 15 minutes which is how long chicken should take to cook. Great spot.“

“Tried this korean bbq place for the first time and well. It's a bit small in terms of space when you're trying to seat people and let alone, walk around... or even get up from the seat with the limited space you have to move around. But I'll say that this place is pretty good for a small business, the food tasted good itself. For now, we got the mochiko chicken to start off with because it was a bit more familiar. But we'll be back here to try other foods when we can.“

“Sweet n spicy Korean fried chicken is bomb. Call in for take out is ideal. If you ordering close to their closing just order a whole chicken portion otherwise you gonna piss off the aunty frying them in the back. Make it worth her while y'know?“

“I will always visit Sadies's when visiting the island 🥰🥰“

“Love the cucumber kim chee. Large cuts. The mac salad is perfect, not salty and not heavy yet creamy. I can taste and feel the ingredients used are high quality. The next morning my body felt good (no swollen face). They don't use MSG. I love "I Love K-BBQ."

Vegetarian options: My college aged daughter is a vegetarian. She was super impressed with the veggie selection. She ate her entire veggie plate and two scoops rice.“

“Great experience! Cook your own meat at the table. Wait staff very attentive.“

“Excellent all around the food is so good and the service is top Notch“

“Delicious food, generous portions, good service. You really should visit if you're hungry in Kaneohe.
You get rice, a protein, and four choices of ban chan (veggie sides like kimchee or cooked bean sprouts).

The ambiance is definitely "greasy spoon", but the food is really good quality, and, since its take out only, you're only there for a few minutes, the dated decor is not really an issue.“

“The place was clean and inviting. One of the few places were the pictures on the menu actually look like the food that is served. The food was delicious and authentic not like then one in the mainland that changes items to accommodate the locals, from the tofu to the meats they where all delicious.“

“This is my GO TO Korean BBQ spot on Oahu.This back alley, cinder block laden restaurant is a no frills spot that serves up some of the best meat selections. Ambiance is rustic, in a Hawaiian sense, and very casual. It can get smoky inside if the place is packed so be prepared to smell like meat and BBQ when you leave.We ordered the Jumolook and pork belly and both were great quality. I love that they provide the sesame oil dipping sauce without mention. All of the sides were very good too and of generous portions.Service is authentic and quick! Don’t expect much unless you’re proficient in Korean, but they’re a lovely staff.“

“I have been going to this place since I was in middle school (mid 2000s) and for good reason, nobody does it better! Staff has recently changed a bit, but because it's still the same friendly service. My go-to is the spicy BBQ pork, but it's all good here and the sides are great too. Plenty of space to park your car or your butt, and located beautiful Mililani.“
