The restaurant is not pretentious and overpriced, which is perfect when you are craving for affordable and great tasting Korean food. There are a lot of non meat options for pescatarians and vegetarians. The banchan is generous and the sweet servers will give you more if they see that you enjoyed them. The seafood pancake is one of the best I'd had in Oahu and I also liked that they provided options to have bibimbab with meat or not, and to be served in a normal bowl or a stone bowl so you can enjoy the crust that will form at the bottom of the rice. It's great to bring large groups for gatherings so you can take share the bbq or hotpot options.
Great banchan selections and service is always attentive and good. My favorite is to get the beef tongue, marinated kalbi, kalbi inner meat, and the wagyu beef. Tonight I’m eating solo so the next best dish for me is the seafood green onion jun.
Very good lunch experience.
The Server was very good and friendly but the manager looking lady was not very appropriate.
She was talking people on the phone followed by video calls as if she was at her home. Very loud and the volume everyone could hear the conversation as a noise.
She literally threw one set of menu as she walked by without saying anything when we were seated. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, but the call was more important I guess.
I would have put five star review for the food and the server if it wasn’t the manager’s attitude
Everything we tried was soooo good! Plenty parking in the back
I love this place! The food is delicious and the service is amazing. It is a little bit pricey, but you really get what you pay for and the quality is top notch. We got the Bulgogi and Octopus Hot Pot. Everything was delicious including the sides. When we asked for more sides, they actually brought an ample amount. This is a great place for large parties too. We did not have a chance to try the BBQ, but if the bulgogi is any indication of the beef quality, then it is going to be so good. Again, the staff and owners are very responsive and so kind and caring. Free Parking is in the rear of the building just past the Panda Express (off S. King).
So good! Kal-bi here is the best, and the service was great, very kid friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Very casual Korean fare. Great food and service!
Great tasting Korean food. A hidden Diamond in the city. Easily missed if thou weren't looking for it. We were guests of some friends and will be back with our own guests!
This restaurant had true Korean food - their gul-kimch was especially good. I really wanted to eat Korean-Korean food, not Americanized Korean food after three weeks long business trip, then found this restaurant. I think their food was appealing to other people as well because most of the customers were non-Korean. The owner was nice enough to refill all side dishes multiple times!
Food is great, especially the meat jun. Prices have gone up significantly in the last couple years though. The lunch specials went from $13-15 to $18-23. Still with going here, but it's no longer a great value.
