Nimitz Bar-Bq House

Nimitz Korean Bbq is a very mom and pop Korean Restaurant. It might not have the best service, but it does have great and authentic Korean food! I am Korean-American, so I encourage you to please enter with a gracious mind as I believe the husband takes orders and the wife cooks in the kitchen. The man up front is nice, but I can tell that when he speaks English it can sound like he is being rude/harsh, but that is not his intention. It’s simply language barrier! When we started speaking Korean, his demeanor was more comforting! The food is large portions and can be on the pricier side, but the amount definitely makes up for it!

I noticed a different review saying the prices listed are in Korean, it is not! It’s simply stating their menu items in Korean. Left side English and right side Korean!

Small but nice atmosphere. Owner is really nice and I didn’t wait long for my order. You can also call in your order if you’re in a rush. Food is delicious.

Kal bi plate is $25 and it's like smaller than amini plate and the short ribs are so small.. please dont go here.. worse first time experience and last for me

Hilarious that the item prices posted on the window are ONLY IN KOREAN or NO PRICES AT ALL. You gotta go inside I GUESS to get ANY prices or maybe they only want Korean patrons. With that said, I guess me and the boys will just go next store to the BEST BREAKFAST place on the island, JOE'S GRILL.

Love this place! Visit every time I’m on Oahu. Great food, quick service, affordable prices. Very casual atmosphere to enjoy a plate lunch.

It has the taste of traditional Korean food. Highly recommended!

The meat Jun is the best!!!! I was pleasantly surprised when I took that first bite of meat Jun. Looking at the outside and walking in to this small hole in the wall, you start to second guess yourself but then you order your food, which the cost is crazy reasonable, and you eat the food…5 stars! Broke da mouth Meat Jun

As others said, the old man working there doesn't communicate well. Messed up my order, even though i clarified it a few times. Not that friendly either. But they offer free deliveries.

The chicken was undercooked and red. the amount of veggies you get is small compared to other korean places. But it felt like you got more meat.
but the chicken was undercooked while the beef were overcooked and tough.

Havent been here in a while, this is a no frills mom and pop run Korean restaurant located in the Nimitz/Airport shopping center plaza where Subway, Bale and Joe's Grille is located, been going here for over 15 years.

Prices are still good in this economy, their special combo plates are massive and run you a little over $20 but didnt want to eat that much meat ?

Called in my order so I didnt have to wait. The Korean guy answered the phone and if you dont know him, his english is limited and he doesnt speak much so could be mistook as rude....all good with that as ive been coming here for years?

Ordered a Mini Fish Jun, Mini Spicy Pork (both were $9.55 each plus tax.... Try finding a Korean plate lunch at that price) and a #16 combo with 2 pc Spam tenpura, Bbq beef, Bbq chicken, Shrimp Tempura and Mandoo... Winnahs for a little over $15 bucks.

Hit the spot, made my lunch run seamless. Cash and credit card accepted. 5 stars??

Food is good the old man at counter can use lesson on customer service. I literally was looking at the menu and he comes from the back and says what you like. I then told him and he couldn't understand basic English where I needed to point and tell him I want 3 plates.
