I really wanted to like this place, but I can't. I eat Korean food all the time, and this was by far the WORSE experience I have ever had.We got one of their pork over rice, it's suppose to come with a variety of banchan/side apps, and lettuce. When we opened it at home, it was the SADEST thing ever. They cut the pork into slices and spread it a part to make it seem more than what it is. It was 60% rice!! It came with only two tiny sauce containers of banchan/side apps.What was worse was the jajiang mian, it smelled spoiled. ? But everywhere else was close, so we took a chance and ate it. It was all sauce and some potatoes, not a piece of meat in sight. It was so disappointing, that we didn't bother to finish it, plus we couldn't handle the foul smell. Top it all off, it's overpriced!Shame on these people for passing on spoiled food to their customers. I'll call the health inspectors, cause this is not okay. If you don't have enough food, that's fresh to sell, why force it?! That's not how you practice food safety. With all this covid going around, you think they would take our health into care.If you want LEGIT Korean food made with love, go to Yong's Kalbi. It's worth the drive, and they are SO much better!

The food here is amazing.

Wow! We chose Yoon's based on the Yelp reviews, and we were pleasantly surprised! Even my picky auntie was super pleased! TL;DR: It's a little bit pricy, but worth it. Everything is good. Everyone in my family was happy and we'd love to go back, even just for their fried chicken! We're adding this to our list for future family gatherings! Seriously, everything was good: - Gim Mari (We've never had this before! Glass noodles wrapped in seaweed, deep fried. This isn't in a lot of Korean restaurants in the states. We want to eat it again!) - Kim Bob beef (Good kimbap rolls, nice proportion of ingredients, not too much rice, good and bite-size) - Kim Bob veggie (Same as the beef but with a good assortment of veggies and mushrooms. Not boring like most veggie kimbap, and you didn't miss the meat!) - Mandu (Not sure if the dumplings had pork or chicken inside, but it was good) - Japchae (Normal japchae, but also had ground beef so it was more savory) - Crispy Fried Chicken (Really good! Crispy outside that wasn't too hard, and moist inside!) - Shoyu Fried Chicken (They somehow managed to put sauce on the outside but keep the inside crispy -- great! And the chicken was nice and moist.) - Galbi (Normal beef kalbi, good.) - Bulgogi (Normal beef bulgolgi, good.) - Haenam-Pajeon (Really good seafood pancake, with a crispy top and a generous mix of seafood so you get some in every bite.) The only negative was that there wasn't a lot of banchan -- only kimchi, radish, and pickled pepper. I assume that if you eat in the restaurant they hopefully have more options. Yoon's does delivery through expresswaiters and you can also look on that website for their most accurate menu. If you want to do pickup, you should call and order via phone. Thanks, Yoon's! The whole family is happy and we'll be back!

Definitely the most authentic korean food on the island, and really good in general. Prices are reasonable and portions are great too, we tried the soondubu, seafood jjampong, and japchae. All were good, especially the jjampong, which was super flavorful and the noodles were fresh and chewy! We may be coming back this week again for some comforting grub

Nice seafood pancake and beef roll. Not a lot of parking spots. Not too many people there for Monday dinner. We love it.

Very nice for everybody!!! Soup with beef delicious?

Really amazing Korean food. Bibimbap was delicious. However, the Korean fried chicken is some of the best I've ever had.

Food was good but I found a worm in my sea food soup which was very disappointing and they still charged me whole price for it . Make sure to check while you have the soup !

Meat Jun was amazing! But their signature spicy fried chicken was excellent! If you blink you miss this place but it's a must.

All I can say is, this restaurant is a must-eat!!! Definitely hits the spot if your looking for authentic Korean cuisine. I had the pleasure of eating lunch here with my longtime friend. The parking lot is on the smaller side, but I was able to find some parking. Right across from the old Hilo Lanes building. Owned by a Korean family. The overall dining experience was great. Took me back to when I did an exchange to South Korea in the summertime. Although very expensive, it is well worth it. Your tummy will thank you for sure! I shared 3 dishes with my friend which included Cheese Dak-Galbi, Samgyeopsal, and Gim Mari. All meals come with the lots of banchan (side dishes) and a bowl of rice. Very good service and good vibes! 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back again for sure!
My son always comes here. Best Kimchi Jigae and fried chicken in town! The server up front is very friendly - good work yoon's. Will keep coming back.

Customer services needs to be worked on. My bestfriend and I waited more than 20 mins to be seated or even notice . They only had 1 family in restaurant and the waiters did not even notice that we were waiting even when trying to get there attention. Vibes are bit off as well .. But I can say food is amazing ! I love love there Korean crispy chicken especially the mild flavor one . I would give it 5 stars but they need to work on customer service and attitude.

I been here once before and the service was horrible. Waitress/owner was super rude and didn't check on us and seemed irritated if we asked for anything. The table next to us waited forever to get acknowledged and had to go up and ask for service. Fast fwd to today, I went back because the food was okay and I'm craving Korean so I came back and when I walked in the owners were eating so I asked "are you open?" in English and they said "yes, how many?" So I told them it was just me and my toddler. When we got seated and the man brought us our menu I asked if he was Korean and I said hello in Korean and ordered my food in Korean. He then told me "were eating lunch right now so you're going to have to wait". SAY WHAT?! They told me they were open and then they told me that I had to wait to have my food cooked for me because they're eating their lunch. I didn't say a word and just left. This is the worst service I ever got at any restaurant in my life. Close your damn restaurant for lunch or eat in shifts. Unbelievable. DONT EAT HERE.

Seasoned chicken was way oily outside batter and inside chicken was bland. Chicken was fresh.

Much better than expected; great Korean dishes of wide variety.
