The food is excellent. The meats are trimmed well so you don’t end up eating a lot of fat and gristle. The stews are tasty and portions are a good size. My new favorite for authentic Korean food!

Food was very good...kalbi was soft and the seafood pancake, thin so crispy on the outside and cooked on the inside. The barbecue chicken was plentiful and boneless and also soft. Waiter helpful with suggestions and food came quickly. The booths had I think plexiglass half way up so it cut down the sound from other tables which is a benefit in order to hear the people in your group so you can hold a decent conversation. Rare in many restaurants. Everyone in our group commented that they'll come again.

Overall amazing experience. I love that they finally opened a location in Hawaii Kai so we don’t have to drive all the way to town to eat KBBQ anymore. The food was amazing!! We got the prefix with the wagyu and skirt option and it was super delicious. Also hands down one of the best soondubu on the island. Our server Kyle was excellent too! He was super funny and cooked our food to perfection! 10/10 and definitely will come again.
Hangang Niu Valley / Hawaii Kai Korean BBQResponded 2 days ago
Aloha! Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our new Hawaii Kai location. It's wonderful to be able to bring KBBQ closer to home for our guests in the area. We are especially glad you enjoyed our Prime Beef 9-Course Meal. It's one of our signature offerings and a favorite among many of our guests. We are proud to showcase high-quality cuts and we are thrilled they hit the mark for you. Also, your kind words about our soondubu made our day. It means a lot to hear such high praise for our soondubu! We will be sure to pass your compliments along to Kyle. He will be happy to know he made your visit extra special. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon. Mahalo for your support!

The wait time with reservations was very reasonable: ~15 minutes. Once seated: water and utensils and menu were delivered in a few minutes, order was taken in 10 minutes and the food started coming minutes later. The assorted food dishes and condiments were very neat and cleanly served. The main coursed were served in a few minutes and were very well displayed, temperature was very good: hot and cold dishes. The flavor of all of the condiments and main course dishes were excellent.

I ordered the 9-item course at this restaurant, but there was no explanation about the meat, and the service was terrible. The quality of the meat wasn’t very good either — honestly, Japanese-style yakiniku restaurants are far better than this.

This brand new restaurant is an incredible place to eat. The food was outstanding and clean. The side dishes were the best I have tasted in a Korean restaurant. The tea wasn’t the best. It wasn’t hot and it seemed diluted, but I didn’t come for the tea. I would definitely come back as soon as I am ready to eat more Korean food. There is lot of parking and easy to get to on East Oahu.

Aloha! Thank you so much for your kind review and for giving our new location a try. It’s wonderful to hear that you had a great dining experience and that the food especially the side dishes left a strong impression. We put a lot of care into crafting each dish so it’s rewarding to know that came through in your meal. We also appreciate your feedback on the tea. While it may not have been the highlight for you, your comments help us fine-tune the details and we will make sure the team takes a closer look at how it's prepared and served. We are pleased to know the location was convenient and that parking was easy. We want every part of the visit to feel seamless and enjoyable.
