29 Best Korean Restaurants near Wahiawa

“Good selection of food options. Not the best bbq chicken or bulgogi that I’ve ever had, but I do have to say the sides were absolutely delicious. My personal preference is thinner sliced cucumber for cucumber kimchi, but that’s just me. The lady working in the front was extremely friendly and kind. The place is really small and driving by you could easily miss it.“

“We thought we would try this place after reading reviews. The place is a real hole in the wall but the food was delicious! We wanted to try the meat jun so ordered the combination and the squid jun - both really onolicious and so much food that it fed 6 of us - 2 teens, 2 middle aged and 2 seniors with leftovers enough for a meal for 2!“

“This place has good food! We went there 30 minutes before closing and we were worried we wouldn’t be able to get food so close to closing time but they did serve us and didn’t give us any attitude. We would definitely go here again. We had the meat jun and zucchini jun plate- so good! 10/10.“

“Ordered the Mahi katsu. Taste delicious, value for cost, excellent. The plate was just under 14 dollars and there were 4 count um 4 full sized pieces of fish. They have many side dishes to choose from as well. If you are a fish lover, this is the plate you've been looking for.“

“Easy to shop!!! Good prices too !!!!! Loved it !!!!!“

“You can also eat in the store, but they give you food in disposable containers. After ordering, it was so large that I had no choice but to go, so it was convenient for customers. I ordered one serving of the special set and kimchi pancake, and 2 adults and a 3-year-old child ate it together. I packed the leftover rice and side dishes well and was able to eat until breakfast. When you order a dish, you can choose four side dishes, including kimchi, seasoned seaweed, stewed potatoes, japchae, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned cabbage, etc. All four we chose were delicious and both the ribs and kimchi pancakes were excellent restaurants. It was the most cost-effective and satisfying meal during my trip to Hawaii?“

“Garlic butter is really delicious
I don't have to go anywhere else because it's famous nearby, so I went to my aunt's place.
It's very good if you eat it! You are still visiting Korea these days.
You are so kind
I felt warmth in a distant land
Highly recommended!“

“best place to eat. must try the bimbimbap“

“Good Korean style chicken. Lots of different sauce options. I thought it just had slightly too much breading. I got 10 boneless wings which are considered "half" and it was about $18. Slightly overpriced but that's Hawaii. I would recommend getting something else with the chicken. I got the special sauce and it was good, and it just had a slight kick which was nice. I ordered to go, don't forget to grab the utensils though because it wasn't in the bag.

If you want some Korean Chicken, go check it out. They had some good Korean drinks available too.“

“Do not pass go, Do not collect 200 dollars... Go straight to Honos!! This place is legit. Their portion size for dollar amount far exceeded my expectations. They were friendly and fast. This is by far the best shrimp I've had in years.“

“Found this place on Reddit for good local recommendations. This is a tiny place where you never go in. You order take out ahead of time or right at the opened door. It seems to be super popular and well known and the award stickers in the window can probably attest to that.

The staff is very kind and the service was quite quick.

We had the kal bee and meat jun combination plate. We had no clue that meat jun was a beef fritter so we were going in blind. Both meats were sweet and were very tasty, but I think I would lean towards the meat jun if I had to only choose one. The sauce dripped into the rice below the meats and even made that taste better. The salads that come with the meal also were given some love instead of just plain cabbage being served.

Overall, my only negative is the place was quite pricy. Yes it’s Hawai’i so the cost is higher than the mainland, yes it short-ribs, but the inflation seems to have hit here pretty hard. Everything else about this place deserves high praise.“

“Awesomeness!! Have you moved your location??“

“I've been coming here for years, it's been a little tradition for me and my mom to drop in for some food any time she comes back to visit O'ahu. I haven't been back here for years but I came back tonight to grab some food and the owners and their daughter (i believe) were so happy to see me. The experience made me feel whole and so good inside. It's not long before these hole in the wall old school food places start disappearing. Appreciative of the smiles, awesome food, and soul I feel every time I visit Ohana sushi. I recommend trying it out if you haven't before, make it a tradition and i doubt you'll be disappointed. If you've already been here with good company im sure you understand what I'm talking about. Much love auntie and unko!“

“Fantastic bar b cue place in Mililani Town right next to the fountain. I had the beef and it was delicious. Can out on a cast iron skillet with all the sizzle. Came with the 5 sides that were perfect for the Beef. Solid Korean influence and well prepared meal.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options. I took a photo of the menu

Parking: Huge shopping center but you need to walk a few hundred feet to get to the restaurant

Kid-friendliness: Rice and needle option. Some chicken made to order

Wheelchair accessibility: All ground level. Easy to get around“

“I lived in Korea for six years. It’s hard to find that perfect beef and leaf joint you remember from your Sam gyup sal days in Korea, but this place can do it.#1. The staff is great. I enjoy seeing them every time I go.#2. They have the soju, the Korean beer, the makgeolli.#3 The BBQ is on point, the sides are delicious and the kimchi is always great.If someone doesn’t like this place, then they don’t like real Korean food. Plain and simple.“

“Best beef bulgogi I have ever had. They have five sauces...I tried a little drizzle of all five from sweet to hot and everyone was great. Highly recommend.

Parking: Parking is close...free...and plenty of spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Kid food portions.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible from parking lot....no curbs or hills.“

“Love the cute look of this little food truck! You wouldn’t guess it but this is where to get the best garlic shrimp on the island. Big, juicy plump shrimps and a good amount of them on a plate with hot rice and the best Kim chi I've tasted on the island. The two ladies in charge were so kind and even gave us extra rice when they saw I was sharing with my daughter. So kind!“

“The owner and staff here are so friendly.
The chicken sandwich made here is the best chicken sandwich I know.
If you are reading my review, eat the chicken sandwich right now.
It will be one of the best things you've ever done in your life.“

“Absolutely outstanding! This Korean restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was simply phenomenal - every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The kimchi was perfectly fermented, the bulgogi was tender and savory, and the bibimbap was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Korean dining experience. Five stars all the way!“

“the korean food is pretty authentic owned by korean family. inside is nothing fancy but the food definitely hit the spot.
we had the short rib galbi and bolgogi mix , which is well marinated with a lot of flavor. the bimbiba is very simple and good portion for one person.
Service is fast. didnt take long for the food to come out, the owner is super nice lady.“

“Originally came to HMart for the bakery but stayed for the restaurant! Got bulgogi and I love how delicious and classic it tasted. The sauce is perfect, beef cooked well with plenty of veggies that made it colorful. Even the side green salad was perfection. Didn't have to wait long since we got there at 11am. It was nice and empty before the crowd filled the place by 12pm. Service is friendly! Super clean place. Love how all the restaurants and bakery is so accessible to this dining hall area. Will be back for the bakery goodies and for lunch here at Elim.“

“Needed to find a new AYCE kbbq place outside of town, and boy does Stadium Camellia not disappoint! We arrived around 545p on a Sunday and needed to wait about 15 mins for a party of 2. Even with an earlier dinner time, the restaurant was packed! Recommend calling in to make a reservation. On just sitting and waiting, we saw 3 servers who were running around taking orders, serving, replace grills, non-stop. Even the owners pitched in here and there to turn around tables or bring out food ingredients. Roomy space with lots of ceiling vents to make it less smoky.

On to the food - the quality of the meats were pretty good. My favorite was the kalbi and garlic pork belly (wowowow was it garlicky ?, sorry for my breath afterwards lol). The servers weren't shy with the portion sizes or checkin in to see if we wanted to place more orders in. For pupus, we had the karaage, mandoo, japchae, and kimchi stew which were all pretty good and came out nice and hot. Next time I'll try some of the fried calamari, as lots of tables had that.

Banchan was placed at the table once seated and were pretty good (and refillable). Be sure to ask for raw garlic and jalapeños to throw on the grill. The closing dessert of samurai blue vanilla ice cream, although super full at that point, was a great close to the meal.

What really won me over was how sharp the scissors were to cut up the meats. It's the little things, cause my pet peeve is when you get blunt scissors that you have to hack through and don't cut - these snipped so smoothly. One con is that they don't serve single diners.

Overall looking forward to our next visit. They have some specials, like birthday, seniors, and military on certain days.“

“I eat here often for the varieties and none has failed me like some others nearby. Nor do they make you wait a lifetime for your food and always give friendly service. Highly recommend this place to non locals too. Very clean place well maintained and organized!“

“The food is always good and never changed the flavors and great customer service.“

“I always get the Meat Jun and it’s always so good! Plus, their Meat Jun sauce is really good too. Good Sauce is the most important thing when buying meat jun for me and theirs is perfect! pls don’t change the sauce recipe :) Did I mention that the portions is HUGE too! Thank you Tasty’s!“

“Great Korean based Market with other Asian options. I am so grateful for their Aurora, CO location's low prices during my "lean" years as a single parent that I'm a customer for life, even now back on da aina. Love their produce, ramen, and ban chan options.“

“i recommend the fn with the side order meat.“
