I ordered a side order of the kalbi and paid 40.00. When I opened the container at home it only contained two and a half pieces. I called the restaurant to complain and spoke to the person in charge named Fay. I told her what I received and she told me to come down and she'll give me two pieces of kalbi at no cost. She was polite and helpful. When I reached the restaurant her attitude changed. She told me her brother was the cook and claims he gave me four pieces. So I asked her are you calling me a liar? She replied she just wants to find out what happened. I told her your brother is calling me a liar, and I'm acusing him of lying. I asked to speak to her brother but she replied you wouldn't like the way he talks to people. I told her you told me you would give me two pieces so I drove all the way down here. She finally gave me the food and told me not to patronize their restaurant again. This over two lousy pieces of kalbi. Fay sided with her brother instead of a paying customer. I've been going there for many years and this is how I get treated? Wow!

I found the food just okay. Think being from L.A. Korean food is just on another level. While the food here was very generous in portion and okay but it wasn’t anything special in terms of taste.
Service and vibe on the other hand was really attentive and accommodating. They’re kind and welcoming. Would come back just for the service.

I had lunch special, chicken bbq & meat jun & mandoo, and it was good. The place still had the nostalgic look and feel with great service.

Got the lunch mix plate with chicken katsu instead of bbq chicken. Comes with meat jun and one mandoo. The chicken katsu was really good, however the meat Jun was a bit thick and had quick a bit of fat in it. Not my preference. The one mandoo is okay...nothing special. The kimchee was fresh over sour, and mild.
This place has been around for awhile...the deco is a bit outdated but overall a good restaurant to eat at...for those who enjoy local korean. This is the place.

I have always loved this place since I was a child. Ajima always took care of us & the Kal bi ribs are always spot on. Many memories of coming here with my Dad. I used to hangout with Jimmy in my 20's. RIP 🙏. Plenty of parking in the back. It's a staple of Kaimuki.
