Elim Korean Barbeque

Love this place! Food is always flavorful with good portions. Looks like it needs a renovation but it’s really a To-Go/Takeout place. They have regulars for a reason!

Food is okay but the service is horrible. The mama San is nasty with no people skills. I phone ordered a mini meat Jun- came to pick it up, paid for it but my food wasn’t ready. Upon looking at the menu I noticed that I got overcharged and asked about it. The mama San insisted that the price is correct and started arguing with me, only to realize that she got my order wrong and continued to insist that I ordered the kalbi (which Is why I got overcharged)
I know exactly what I ordered and it was not kalbi. Instead of trying to correct it- she wanted to argue with a paying customer smh.
I asked for a refund which took her for ever to figure it out. So disappointing and I won’t waste my time coming back- sorry but I also won’t recommend to my family, friends and social media followers. Do better!

this is my favorite korean restaurant no one can beat them

probably one of the best Korean mom and pop restaurants on the island!

The atmosphere of this place is abysmal but don't let that stop you from eating there. These sweet Korean aunties really know how to make Korean food. My favorites are their Bimbimbap and their spicy pork is incredible!

My go to place for Fish Jun!! I love the krispyness of the egg on the edges, and the Kalbi is great as well. Owned by a Mom and Pop Korean family. Fav. Place to get homemade Kimchee as well. ?❤️?

Elims has been apart of the Ewa beach shopping center for as long as I can remember. mom and pop shop, cardboard everywhere but still nicely intact, food counter is clean cold drinks are laid out nice and the banchan area is always filled. I thought to come here instead of pearls chain restaurant just to support local cuz id be sad to see them fold.I ordered the classic kalbi & meatjun combo. Now, the reviews may be right about the meatjun. It’s not the best, meat was kinda tough but flavor wise was ok, I’m all about having a good sauce to cover that so i ordered extra meat Jun sauce.Kalbi was freakin good. Way better than pearls because the marinate and smoky taste from the grill comes thru. It’s also not overly sauced up like some places, it just tastes like homemade kalbi cooked on a grill. You don’t need to get the meat Jun, but you gotta get the kalbi.4 sides: 2x mayo potato (always good lil sweet) noodles, and seaweed. Didn’t taste old, very good flavor!Price: $23 and some change cuz I ordered 2 xtra big cups of meat jun sauce lol. Free parking. **NOW TAKES CARD**
