10 Best Korean Restaurants near Waianae

“Nice hole in the wall local restaurant with some of the friendliest servers around. Local food favorites served here, like hamburger steak, barbeque chicken, meat/fish Jun, tripe stew, they also serve liver and onions w/ bacon just to name a few.“

“Waianae may have a limited number of really good food options—like BBQ Kai, Saito & Pho, and the Thai food truck in Mākaha—but Waianae Korean BBQ is one of those hidden gems ?. Shhh, don’t tell anyone; I don’t want the line to get longer! The food is delicious, and the atmosphere has a laid-back vibe. I usually order the meat jun without rice, which lets me choose 6 sides instead of just 4. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Love the cucumber kim chee. Large cuts. The mac salad is perfect, not salty and not heavy yet creamy. I can taste and feel the ingredients used are high quality. The next morning my body felt good (no swollen face). They don't use MSG. I love "I Love K-BBQ."

Vegetarian options: My college aged daughter is a vegetarian. She was super impressed with the veggie selection. She ate her entire veggie plate and two scoops rice.“

“Excellent place to get your food. I ordered the mini combo with BBQ Chicken - Spicy BBQ Pork - Mac salad - Potato salad - Rice. I was not disappointed. Tasted great. The dinning area was clean and the servers were friendly. I'll be back for more food.“

“At first there was a wait but it’s understandable due to it being a Friday night. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I wanted to say a big thank you to the staff especially our waitress Jada☺️. We celebrated my daughter Moana’s 4th birthday here tonight and we all had a wonderful time especially our birthday girl. If you guys go there be sure to ask for “Jada”. She has a great smile every time we put in an order and she’s very friendly. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Thank you GEN for a wonderful night. We will be back for sure??.“
