Onkee Korean Grill House

I’ve been here multiple times and always enjoyed the food. This time I went here for my dad’s birthday and it was a pleasant experience! My dad also enjoyed the food, and service!

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and wasn't expecting much. The decor is a little unusual for a KBBQ, but the ambience is superb. The staff was very attentive to us. We ordered one of the grill combos and the meat was so good! Connie did a really good job grilling! She gave great service and brought out a small cake for my girlfriend for her birthday. This was an all around unexpected, but wonderful experience.

Unfortunately, both the food and service here were disappointing and definitely not worth the price. The cold noodles were bland, the grilled meat was overcooked, the beef tongue was tough, and even the tenderloin lacked the proper texture. The service felt rushed, as if everyone just wanted to go home. At this price point, there are plenty of better options to choose from. Coming here for a birthday was truly disappointing — a cold restaurant with soulless food.

The quality of the meat doesn't match the price. It's unpalatable and expensive. This is my first disappointment in Hawaii. I'd rather go to Han no Daidokoro for this price. Han no Daidokoro is much better. The only good thing about this place is the clean decor. The grill staff are unprofessional and the food is terrible.

Everything is not bad, had lunch here and ordered the hot pot and the lunch combo. Pork was very fatty, cold noodles light on flavor. Hot pot broth was salty. Vegetables were small portion but fresh.

Excellent kimchi and choices of meat for the barbecue. The bibimbop was also delicious. Atmosphere was comfortable albeit a bit spartan.

Gotta have Cobb to do the cooking for you. He is excellent and gets the meat to the right temp.

It is the best Korean restaurant in Oahu 🌺 parking was easy at the theatre parking lunch time.

One star for the very rude African-american receptionist who was more interested in chatting with some guys than helping customers.

Nice building but had to park across the street. The restaurant was immaculate with appropriate lighting and ample space between tables. The menu is perfect for dining family style which was great for our group of seven adults. Our waiter seemed new, but was friendly.

I'm not a Korean BBQ expert, but I've eaten at a few good places before. Onkee Korean Grill was a very good experience. The quality of the beef was top notch, and the marinated beef had a nice sweetness to it. The Banchan had good flavor although I think the kimchee cabbage was a quick pickle. I was hoping for a little more variety of Banchan as well. The rice was cooked perfectly and had a nice fragrance.

The servers and service staff were very good as well. It was the 6pm dinner rush so they were all running around a little. The server apologized to me about not being able to attend to me more, but I thought he did great balancing tables.

The ambiance felt upscale but a little corporate-ish. It felt new, white, and clean which was good, but it didn't quite feel like a mom and pop store.

Overall a really good to great experience.

Connie was excellent waitress and so professional! Always smiling and great service. Friendly and attentive. Best waitress.

Came to Onkee for lunch and took advantage of their great combo set meals. The presentation is obviously very nice and the food was good. I opted for the spicy pork and kimchee stew. The kimchee stew was spot on with nice pieces of pork belly. The stir fried pork had the Rīga flavour but the pork was very thin and the spices overpowered the flavour of the meat. Would have been better if they used thinker cuts of mean and not the shabu-shabu thin pieces of meat. The decor of the restaurant was top notch as well as the service.
