One of my favorite places to eat in Oahu! Bare interiors but really high quality food. Highly recommend the sashimi combo plate (such great value for 30 dollars), seafood stew, kimchi fried rice, and meat jun!

Amazing customer service and DELICIOUS food truly life changing best kalbi and sashimi i’ve had possibly ever. Delicious chicken wings! Best kimchi fried rice. Thank you for an unforgettable dinner!

Saw Kyung’s on a list of essential “off the beaten path” Honolulu restaurants. We’re pretty adventurous eaters and love Korean and sushi, so this seemed up our alley. Without doing too much research, we walked over from Waikiki and started getting nervous that the restaurant would be a tiny hole in the wall or sketch etc. But were pleasantly surprised when we went inside. The staff was super friendly and welcoming.
We ordered the small sashimi platter plus the Kalbi and Poke combo. This came with some banchan of kimchi, Mac salad, and pickled radishes. Everything was delicious!! The sashimi was some of the best I’ve had, even compared to some of the “elite” sushi spots we’ve had in LA. And the kalbi were so good too. All the banchan were very good too. For the money, we felt this was really good value.
All in all, highly recommend!

One of the best meals we had while visiting O’ahu! We had the sashimi platter and the beef jeon and poke plate. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous! Service was also great.

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday. We rant to reserve a table in advance, which they were happy to accommodate.
It’s a vibrant/loud restaurant that really feels authentic.
The food was amazing, great value and delicious.
We got the sashimi $30, meat Jun and kalbi. All tastes great.
I’d highly recommend for a good value, delicious and easy meal.

We went for happy hour. $10 pitchers! Meat jun and fried mandu were good but nothing to write home about. The poke, however, was out of this world good. We got the mamas special. the little bit of rock salt goes a long way to make it extra delicious. Its a tiny place and we were happy to sit at a table that was reserved an hour+ later.

In A Nutshell:
-Kyung's Seafood is a local spot to grab some good comfort Korean/Japanese food.
-They specialize in "fresh local ahi sashimi and poke".
-This small restaurant is located on the corner of South King & Birch Street.
-There is a very small, 3 car parking lot.
-We ordered their popular combo of Korean short ribs (galbi) + Poke.
-The short ribs were a little undercooked, so we asked them to cook them a little longer, but once they came back again, they were really good b/c they are pretty thick short ribs.
-The poke is plentiful & tasty.
Overall, this is a local spot so if you live here or visiting w/ a large group of people, maybe you could look into their catering service.

Omg! I’m so glad I had this as my first meal in Oahu and it did not disappoint! It lived up to the hype. I ordered the sashimi platter and the chicken. The fish was buttery and the chicken was flavorful but not overcooked and rubbery. The rice was on point. The sides were delicious as well. I’d definitely stop by one or two more times before I head out! ❤️ Cheers from California.

Parking is limited, but we came around 12:00pm and were able to get parking. The food is amazing. Better than the korean food I have had at Los angeles (visiting from LA). The portion sizes are generous and everything had great flavor. We got the kimchi seafood jun, oyster jun, kalbi, mama' s poke, $30 sashimi and seafood soup. Everything was delicious. The staff was also very friendly. Would recommend this restaurant to friends and family that go to hawaii. Favorite meal in hawaii so far!

Our Uber driver recommended this place as good seafood... Totally worth it! Absolutely AMAZING food. We ordered the sashimi, meat jun and poke. The meat jun was phenomenal! We went on a Wednesday evening and it was pretty busy by 6:30... So call ahead to make a reservation just to be sure you'll have a table when you get there.

Years ago, when aunty Kyung first moved to the current location, I used to eat there almost every night. I'm back over now from NZ and was both very excited to eat here again and very saddened to hear of aunties passing 😔.
Her daughter, who I remember as a little girl sitting in the restraunt most nights, is now fully grown and running the show and, what a job she's doing! You won't find mo betta food on this island than here, poke/kalbi combo is absolutely insane on the taste buds!
I'm stoked that you have all kept this restaurant, no, this legacy going and are doing such an amazing job at it . You should all be very proud!
If I can give one piece of criticism, just because we always need something to strive for... get the K-pop video clips back on at least one of the TVs. No need sound, they were just such a fun thing to watch while eating and always added to the experience there.
Mahalos guys for tha grindz and I hope I can get in one more time before I fly out. Big 🤙 to you!

What a pleasant surprise: hole-in-the-wall-ish but great food - my kind of place! We got a plate of super-fresh thick-cut sashimi, chicken gizzards, seafood pancake (crispiest one I've ever had), grilled fish collar, sizzling beef ribs. All were delicious! To boot, service was friendly and fast.
Nikki Kobayashi
First time trying here. It's kind of a hole in the wall place... not too big but cozy. Food was delicious 😋 and very friendly staff. I would definitely go again.
Jeff Kung
I’m so glad we decided to come here for dinner one night during our stay on Oahu. It has limited seating but we only had to wait 10-15 minutes. We both ordered tofu soups and the seafood pancake to start with some soju. Everything was delicious and service was quick and attentive. We’ll be coming back again.
Jeff Montague
Outstanding spot that you can imagine Bourdain would've loved. Excellent food, variety, and the prices are good. Expect to wait for a table, but be respectful if they're busy and it takes longer than you thought it might. It will be worth the wait.
Monica Marianes
Got the meat jun and mandoo plate and it was amazing! The meat jun is tender and the mandoo was chubby and meaty! The plate came with rice, kimchi and mac salad — they all tasted delicious. They take cards as payment method. The wait is not long (it was a Wednesday lunch time). There’s indoor seating area with AC and they played korean music.
Kevin Kam
We were recommended this place from friends that have been here many times before. This was our last and best meal in Oahu before our flight.
Kalbi was plentiful and juicy, seafood Jun was massive and full of octopus, mama’s special poke was scrumptious with big flakes of crispy salt and the spicy ahi was perfectly blended of ahi and spice. Will be back soon!

I totally forgot about this place since moving away from Hawaii but in my last trip I was picking up food from a place near by and remembered how much I like the poke here. This is definably a hidden gem. They don't have a huge selection of different poke but they make to order and what is so good is their fish is so fresh. What is also great is every time I've stopped in here I have never had to stand in line.
I also ordered a sashimi tray. That was a hit! You get a good amount for the price. I prefer my sashimi cut a little thinner than they cut it here, but not a big deal, I would definitely order the sashimi tray again if I were looking for something to bring to a party.
Lastly I was heard that their Korean food was good, and I agree it is very good. Got the kalbi and fish jun, both really good and a good amount of food.
If you are looking for good Poke or Korean good, this is somewhere to check out.

Awesome team there. They are very friendly. The sashimi was fresh and melt in your mouth. I had the Meat Jun that was so tender. I will go back many times.
