9 Best Korean Restaurants near Haleiwa

“The Kalbi here is amazing, it was deliciously thick and covered in a smoky char flavor that made it irresistible. Seriously an underrated spot. Any trucks nearby, even a few minutes up the road, will skimp on grilled short rib. I was half expecting a super thing piece of meat but wow it was probably the thickest Kalbi I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend to anyone, the owner deserves all the business he gets!“

“this was BY FAR the best Shrimp truck in the lot. I tried both the pineapple shrimp here and the garlic one at Giovanni’s and their pineapple shrimp blew it out of the park. 😄If you come to Oahu you HAVE to come to Honos !!!!! bring cash.“

“I had such a great experience at 2 Mom Kitchen! The meat jun was tender, & flavorful, and the bibimbap was fresh, & colorful. The lady at the counter welcomed me with such kindness. While it’s not a full sit-down restaurant, there’s a small table with three chairs where you can wait comfortably for your order. And the free street parking makes stopping by so easy. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu.“

“Old school Wahiawa Korean restaurant thats been around seemingly forever thats known for their meat jun. The original owners arent there anymore so maybe thats why the taste is a bit different nowdays. Still good but not like I remember. Service is typical of Korean restaurants.... Gotta flag them down if you want something.

Post covid hours have changed so they close very early now. Been just ordering to go, and as a common rule wherever i go I check my order before I leave🤙A generous 4 stars.“

“just had this place for the first time today!! I love love love my soondobu/korean tofu soups and this place’s kimchi soup was WONDERFUL!! Dare I say my most favorite Korean place all island ☺️ staff is so sweet and lovely too, literally 10/10!“

“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.“

My husband picked up dinner for us tonight from Seoul Food here in Wahiawa. We’ve never had a bad meal from here. The portions are as great as the food- I usually give half my plate to my husband because it’s so much. I love the Kalbi plate- super flavorful,tasty and saucy with all white rice. My husband tried something different tonight, the Chicken Katsu plate- crispy, juicy and tender which he said was pretty good. Check out this tasty hole in the wall spot if you haven’t yet. Aloha 🌺“

“Ordered the Mahi katsu. Taste delicious, value for cost, excellent. The plate was just under 14 dollars and there were 4 count um 4 full sized pieces of fish. They have many side dishes to choose from as well. If you are a fish lover, this is the plate you've been looking for.“
