Delicious! The best Kalbi ribs I’ve eaten in Hawaii and beyond. They know what they are doing in the kitchen here. I recommend the Kalbi and the meat jun. we also had an incredible side dish made with a local vegetable. One of our best meals!

Absolutely incredible experience! The food here is consistently amazing — every dish is packed with flavor and clearly made with so much care and attention to detail. Beyond the food, what truly sets this place apart is the hospitality. Libbey makes you feel genuinely welcomed the moment you walk in. You can really feel the heart behind this business, and it shows in everything from the service to the atmosphere.
If you’re looking for a spot with outstanding food,...

Great find, and good service, had the organic tofu stir fry, they allowed me to order it mild 🌶️, even had some interesting local greens. Only thing I would change is less salty, but that might just be my own taste. One thing to be aware of is they don’t have a public restroom. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-30
