$30 dollars for cold Kalbi. Not worth the price.

While staying in Hawaii for a month, the only thing I really enjoyed eating was ribs... You don't have to tip on purpose because it's okay to not tip.
Never order spicy pork, no BBQ chicken, only ribs here...
There is a regular menu and a mini plate, but the difference is 1 rice and 2 side dishes. As for side dishes, kimchi feels like geotjeori. Just eat japchae and bean sprouts. Spinach too.

Older lady with glasses that took my order gave me a hard time when I asked for extra utensils. I’ve never had this issue before and would recommend management train their staff properly. The food was already so expensive and I even provided a small tip out of courtesy after placing the order.

This was my first time ordering at a food court since I came to the US, and I was calculating so foolishly that I couldn't give a tip.
Since I didn't give a tip, they put the side dishes in a bowl as if they were giving dog food.
I wondered, “Is this how they serve food in America?”
When I went again the next day, it was only then that I saw the tip box in the eyes of a Seoul villager. It's a food court anyway, so just put in $1.
The rice is served more neatly than the day before.
Perhaps because it was closing time, they also added a dumpling.
I don't know if this is the power of the tip or if it varies depending on the employee, but it seems to be a case-by-case situation.

I went to Yeonjjang on the 4th and ate only ribs (since I'm a meat eater), but overall, some of the side dishes were salty, but some were not. The cucumber salad and kimchi are seasoned well. Personally, I recommend seasoned cucumber. When eating ribs that are slightly salty, cucumber seasoning actually balances the seasoning well. ^^
The ribs were a little saltier than Korea's, but not too tough (I didn't know at the time, but this place sells ribs that are a bit tougher than the ribs sold in other places... Of course, it's a taste that you can't get at Han River, a Korean restaurant.)
If you order the mini size, you only get two pieces of meat and one scoop of rice, and you can only choose two side dishes.
If you order the regular size, you can choose four pieces of meat, two scoops of rice, and four side dishes.

I didn't try anything else and only ordered the ribs, but it tasted a bit salty so I ate a lot of it.
I don't know many restaurants that suit my taste, so I think I'll go there often for a while since it's close to my accommodation.

Good food, BBQ chicken was tender and juicy. The fried shrimp was very good. Portions are large, you’ll have enough for a second meal. Prices are decent and service was good.

The staff was unfriendly. I ordered two menu items, but was treated like a dog and only allowed one spoon.

Two people share the type where you can choose two side dishes. The meat is tender and the sweet seasoning is addictive. Japchae is also delicious.

A popular restaurant located in the food court of Ala Moana Center.
I visited because it seemed to be featured on YouTube.

You can choose your main meat and two side dishes.
The ribs were delicious!

When I asked for more fork, they said no. They didn't give me a spoon for my bibimbap, so when I asked for it, I asked for just one more, and they said no. I've never seen a restaurant like this in 6 days in Hawaii. Don't ever go there. Other restaurants aren't like that. Please be kind.

Food was great. Very authentic and delicious. Portions were good (we got the smaller size meal and it was more than enough). There’s a little wait after you order so they can prepare the meat part of the dish but it’s not too bad. We went two times while we were in the area for vacation.

Been coming here for awhile and I don't expect service with a smile, but I didn't expect to get berated over choosing sides. I know I get 4 choices so I gave the employee 4 different sides. She stops after loading 3 sides, stares at me angrily and shouts "SO YOU DON'T WANT RICE?" I'm clearly confused so I asked why I wouldn't get rice. She proceeded to shout again "YOU ALREADY HAVE 4 HERE. SO YOU DON'T WANT RICE?" As I'm still clearly confused, the person that looked like the manager came over to clarify the situation and asked me if I said I wanted double of one, which I said I did not ask for. Employee proceeds to angrily take out the extra, no apology, not even from the manager. I've worked in the service industry for most of my life and if I ever spoke to a customer like that, I'd have been fired on the spot. Like I said, I don't expect service with a smile, but you don't need to yell at customers for your own mistake. I get it, we all have bad days, but if you're going to yell at someone who isn't yelling at you, maybe this isn't the job for you.

I got the spicy chicken plate with two sides. If you like Korean barbecue, I do recommend this place, it was flavorful and filling!
