Food came out so fast, looked exactly like the picture and was delicious! The sauce was amazing it was my 1st time having kimchi and it was excellent! Can't wait to try again. Just make sure you bring cash! Worth every penny!

Always consistent food! We love kalbi, meat jun and mandoo. Their sauce is the best! Service is really good and the food comes out fast. There are only three booths, so plan on taking to go.
Soon’s has been my go-to spot for years, being raised in the surrounding area. It's the ultimate destination for Meat Jun enthusiasts like myself. I often opt for their bento, as it conveniently combines Meat Jun, fried chicken, and vegetables in one satisfying meal. The reasonable pricing for the bento is another highlight, making it a great value. Occasionally, it can get crowded, so I've found that ordering ahead is a smart move to save time and bypass standing in line. Overall, Soons remains a cherished and reliable choice, consistently delivering delicious flavors and convenience.
The sweet aromas of grilled meats, make you salivate as you walk up the front window. Great selections, hard to choose, and grateful for the combo's including fermented veggies ,meat juhn, kalbi, bulgogi, and chicken. Onolicious!
The first thing I do when I land in Hawaii is go to Soon’s, no matter where my hotel is at. It’s a delicious meal, consistent in quality and taste, at a good price.
My wife used to live in Oahu and she and the kids loved this place. It's all I heard about for 10 plus years. Finally got to sample it and all I can say is the hype was totally accurate. Amazing. Delicious. Fresh. A must stop in the Honolulu area !! Cash only.

5/5!
Had a local friend recommend this place to me as one of the must visit food spots to hit in Hawaii. I can say, I was not disappointed and really loved the food here. It's a very lowkey spot, kind of a, "If you know, you know" spot and when you try the food, you'll understand why there's always a line here.
The Food: I went with the Meat Jhun (Beef Cutlet) plate. It's kind of hard to describe, but its basically a thin beef cutlet that is housed in an almost egg/flour mix batter. Believe me, its incredible. They provide a small little soy dipping sauce to pair with it, and it's amazing. Pair it even more with some rice, that's a meal right there.
The Service: The service was okay. It was a little slow, but understandable. There was a long line, and it's small little restaurant that you walk up to and order. Also, this is a CASH ONLY place, so come prepared with some bills.
The Atmosphere: The restaurant is setup for you to just walk up and take your order at the window. They have big menus for you to browse while you're waiting. And there are some tables on the side, but not much.
Overall, a 5/5! Hands down a spot that you must visit while in Hawaii. Remember, the restaurant is CASH ONLY, so have a couple of bills on hand.
Always a must do when in Oahu! This is cash only so prepare. There are three booths to sit at, but mostly a pick-up & go place.
We had the Saimin & meat Jhun mix -ono grinds!
They also have a catering option for beach or family takeout. Never disappoints! ❤️
I've enjoyed Soons for over 30 years. The Meat Jun, a must have, extra veg too.
Take away service primarily, quick, quality food, no nonsense ordering and delivery of your food. Order at one window, pickup at the other.
The atmosphere got a 4 outta 5 because it has only limited outdoor seating, which attracts more than its fair share of flies from the backside if the shopping ctr. Recommend takeaway.
Nice place for a fast korean meal. This place makes one of the best bbq beef sandwiches full of meat.
The only negative criticism i have of this eatery is that they only take cash for payment, somewhat of a hassle when you only have plastic.
