Great to find Gina's in Kapolei! For years we went to Gina's at Market city in Kaimuki and missed…read morethem after they sold the restaurant. After looking for a place to eat in Kapolei we came across Gina's Kapolei and walking into the restaurant we saw that Gina's son was working behind the counter!!! It was awesome to have the yummy food that was so much a part of my past . We got the family mini pack - it's great for 2-3 people who have a large appetite- 3 large pieces of Kalbi - bulgofi - man du - BBQ chicken- meat Jun - rice and choice of 4 veggies. It's a generous portion of meat more than enough for 3 people and we had leftovers too. The food is very good the Kalbi is a standout and the fried Man Du and meat Jun was excellent. We loved the seaweed w/ daikon - tofu and kimchee all so good. The people are friendly and really helpful - parking is plentiful. I can't wait to go back really the perfect meal no matter what you have. They also have catering party players and catering sets great for a gathering

I ordered the kalbi plate and had a pretty disappointing experience…read more While I appreciated the kalbi being conveniently cut up, the meat did not taste or feel fresh off the grill--the packaging temperature was lukewarm at best. The flavor profile was also a bit off, leaning much softer and significantly sweeter than what I would expect from good kalbi, making it tedious to eat. However, the real nail in the coffin was the rice. It had a bizarre, soapy taste to it--almost as if it had been sitting in an overly soaped plastic container that infused into the food. It was highly unpleasant and killed my appetite. The sides: The kimchi and japchae were good! The shoyu potatoes were just okay and nothing to write home about, as it didn't have any particular flavor.

No pictures this time.

Great portions and flavors. We enjoyed the kimchi pancake, duck fat fried rice, chicken wings, and tacos. I had a seen a previous review about it being dirty , the floor definitely had not been swept in a while. But everything else (tables, benches) seemed clean and I watched them spray down used tables. We would come back again!

I loved & appreciated that this restaurant was open on 4th of July! I love Korean food & the fact…read morethat they had more veggie options as well! I got the Kalbi & meat jun plate with no rice so I had the option of having 5 side choices. Score! Of course I got all veggies, some are hidden beneath the meat jun in my photo. Bean sprouts, kimchi, cucumbers, radish, greens - I think it was Choy sum. All were onoliscious! And an additional 2 fried mandoo, score! They have more veggie options than another Korean bbq place I go to. Great choices for those on low carb, Keto, watching their blood sugar or diet, or diabetic. As you can see from my photo, to me, the portions for the meat jun and kalbi were a lot & good for me. This was a lot of food for just me. This plate could probably feed 2 people, or be brought home for another meal later. At the time, around late afternoon on 4th of July it wasn't busy. 2 other groups of people. The guy helping me was great! It wasn't a long wait either. Nice, chill, laid back, clean place. Mahalo and aloha!!!

4.5 stars for a plate lunch/quick stop spot vs restaurant. Don't sleep on this place! The shrimp…read moretempura, and the gyoza are made extra crispy! I also like how they give onion tempura with the shrimp. The onion rings are the best. This is probably the only Korean spot that actually cooked our Kalbi well done/burnt when we asked, we like it charred because it has so much extra flavor that way. The portions here are very large too, they are not shy with the sides. The banchan wasn't the best, I thought the chap chae was on the dry/sticky side, but it was still good. Anyways, I can't believe I've never ate here before. I recommend trying this place out!

They're sauced but not doused in it to the point where it's difficult to even taste the smokiness. Hubs gets one or the other each time. I am VERY picky about my grits and I love theirs! I crave it often lol. The shrimp is blackened with a mild but tasty kick. The grits manage to be creamy and pleasantly textured at the same time. In some magical way, they each have their own bold flavor that compliments each other perfectly. And the serving is so generous that it makes at least 4 meals for me. Oh and their fried okra is a must! The cornmeal batter plays so well with the creamy vegetable. And it's perfectly fried maintaining the bite of the okra. We ordered DD so we can only attest to the food. But look at that perfect presentation for take out, no less! If you're craving southern bbq, this is your answer!

The catfish plate was very tasty and what you'd expect from a southern food place. However their ribs were tough and could have been cooked a bit longer so they'd come out more tender. Overall, I'd rate them as average, but give them a try and make the decision for yourself. Aloooooooha and happy eating.

First time customer, searched Yelp and decided to try because my family loves brisket and protein…read more Also, since I normally work M-F 6-2:30 in town I never had the chance to try but this time...I had the day offf....yeah. Brisket time! First off, calling in my order went well, good communication, FRIENDLY. Location was easy to find as I am familiar with Campbell Industrial Park growing up wesside. Cost was fair because making a good brisket takes time and talent. Ordered a pound of brisket and 3 pieces of teriyaki chicken. The chicken was good, tasty. The brisket was soft, flavorful, delicious. What was the surprise winner with my family??? The brisket bbq sauce. Didn't think a sauce was gonna be the show stealer but everyone raved. So obviously there is a great balance in taste here. Well done. I wholeheartedly recommend. Until next day off...

Food is always good and has lots of options. Service was great- Nicole Aulani was our server; she…read morewas one of the best servers we've had in our several past visits. Usually we have to remind our server(s) about forgotten food or flag someone down to order but Nicole was constantly checking in on us, didn't have to wait too long for anything and refilled our drinks without a wait. (thanks Nicole!) The only negative to our visit (which doesn't affect the 5 star rating) is that the vent was dripping oil in the booth section we were sitting in. My husband got grease drips land on him about four times during our meal. We did notify Nicole (our server) and said she would let her manager know. Otherwise this place is definitely a frequent go to!

We were in the area after going to the Kapolei DMV. We came for lunch and we were in luck. They…read morewere doing an all you can eat lunch special for $24.99 through the ending of August. I like that each of us got our own pots for our broth. I chose the pumpkin. I usually get the herbal, which is my fave. I decided to try something new this time. It tasted more like tomato than pumpkin. I'll stick to my herbal the next time. For your meats you can choose: toro beef, beef brisket, pork belly, chicken and pork shoulder. We got a little of everything. You can also get veggies, noodles and seafood from the fridge. For dessert, they have this sago bar. Don't forget the sauce bar. You can mix and match all your sauces. I like the sesame sauce mixed with minced garlic and the ginger onion sauce. Some of the items I got for my pot were: beef, head on shrimp, clams, pumpkin, taro, corn and lobster balls. My fave was the head on shrimp and pumpkin. The corn wasn't too fresh. I loved their Taiwanese shave ice. Unfortunately, they don't have it anymore. It got replaced by the sago bar. I tried the mango and ube. The ube was good and fragrant. Auntie was there. I knew her from back in the day when she had Sweet Home Cafe in McCully. She looks fabulous and is still as friendly as ever.

We used to go to aunty's all the time like once a month at least when it was ala carte and they…read moreused have their hot pot take out. I would go to Aunty's so much where I used to buy her sauce by the jars. We haven't gone back since they changed to AYCA. We aren't really big eaters and neither is my kids. But my daughter has been craving Aunty's so we went today. And we probably won't ever at least not for there AYCE pothot. My daughter who was craving Aunty's is slightly over 40" which now they charge full child price for however she doesn't eat much (like she doesn't fiinish a 4 piece chicken nugget happy meal type). So when it came to ordering, we ordered 4 hotpots (3 adult prices and 1 kid one for my oldest), 1 side of fries which is free. We didnt order a Hotspot for my daughter because we knew she wasn't gonna eat it all and we can't take it home. Coming from a food service industry background. I hate seeing food being wasted. 1. We would get charged for "wasted" food 2. If the restaurant sees food is being wasted it can eventually cause an upcharge in food cost. After dinner, Aunty's is known for their complimentary dessert, which used to be a shave ice of some sort with varies sagos and boba. Now its just a sago bar, which to me is a downgrade too. I used to like the shave ice as it would be refreshing after a nice hot pot and it was light enough and mixed with the sago and boba it would help that sweetness. Now its just straight sago just different flavors. Its just overly sweet pudding. They should think about revamping their menu back to how it used to be. During our time there, you could see it wasn't as busy as it used to be. And they had a lot of take out because they do offer takeout for non-hot pot dishes and its actually reasonable prices. Maybe they should bring back their hot pot takeout too. The broth is good but not good enough to pay AYCE prices for stomachs who dont eat AYCE worth of food. And since majority of it is DIY, paying premium prices for less than service ( we didnt even get our waters filled.) But again coming from a service industry we still tipped 20%. Its making it harder and hard to go out and support local businesses. Going out in Hawaii is already expensive so if the prices ain't right, the service ain't right, the food is par. We might as well make our own or go somewhere else.
