I really wanted to like this place, but my experience was rough from start to finish. I came in during the dinner rush expecting some fresh, flavorful Korean food, but everything felt rushed and low-quality. The kimchi tasted oddly sour—like it had been sitting out way too long—and the bulgogi was so overcooked it was practically jerky.
Service didn’t help the situation either. Our server disappeared for long stretches, and when I politely asked about our missing sides, I got a frustrated sigh and a “they’re coming” before they walked off. The banchan finally arrived halfway through the meal and most of it tasted like it came straight from the fridge.
To top it all off, the table next to us was never cleaned after people left, so we spent half our meal staring at dirty dishes. At these prices, I expected way better. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.

Best Korean bbq in town, better than all the ones in mainland. The real deal. Pure Hawaiian beef. Pure Hawaiian pig. Amazing. 21 stars.

It feel like you eat at home but someone serves your food. The employee was so sweet, and the food was delicious. The price wasn't bad at all. This restaurant is in the alley, but not too scary. If both of us girls can come here, everybody should be ok. 😍😍

We had a great time! The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We had plenty to eat and still had a lot of leftovers. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We plan to go back again soon and bring our friends.
If you like Korean BBQ, this is the place to go! Nestled in the back streets of Waikiki, this place is an amazing hideaway. Definitely will be continuing to support local businesses as they are friendly and they work waaaay too hard! Reservations or just walk in the food is worth the wait. The service is fast and attentive and the atmosphere is so nice and welcoming! The best part is that because it’s family owned, the food tastes like it’s home made rather than a mainland food chain that wants you in and out in 90 minutes or less. The price is fair and the and you get a lot for your money. Thank you to everyone who works there for this is NOT my first time and I am more than happy to make to trip from Mililani all the way into Waikiki for dinner.

The most repulsive pushy wait staff ever experienced. Definitely the most incredible lack of care I have ever seen.

While in Hawaii, we were craving Korean food and decided to visit this restaurant. We ordered the “Honeymoon Combo,” which came with various meats, a stew, and rice. The price felt a bit on the higher side, but the flavors made up for it, the stew was excellent, and the meat was tender and delicious. The side dishes like ssamjang, salt, and lettuce wraps were also very tasty, and they even served fresh pineapple for dessert. The owner seemed to be a first-generation Korean immigrant, with his son helping out at the restaurant. While eating, I could hear karaoke singing nearby, though I’m not sure if it was part of the restaurant. There are about eight tables available for seating, and parking is in a small paid lot in front. Overall, it was a satisfying Korean meal in Honolulu. Still feeling a bit pricey, total we paid $120

Dined a few nights ago and loved it! Did the $95 shared platter. We selected shrimp, steak and scallops and it was wonderful. Lots to eat with plenty of left overs with all the included sides and rice.
