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

The world feels like it's burning up and falling apart lately. I'm home on O'ahu for the Summer and…read moredon't recognize where I am sometimes. So many old businesses are no longer with us. So you can imagine the pure joy I experienced when I walked into Gina's and recognized the banchan, size and char on meats, the smell, being surrounded by local families and friendly faces behind the counter. My heart leapt for joy seeing that I could have both fish jun AND kalbi and if I wanted I could've gotten a third choice. My eyes spotted a familiar side dish of seasoned potatoes, which I left it for the next person and got the daikon, perfectly seasoned not dry at all jap chae, and kim chi cucumbers. When I took my first bit into the kalbi, life was made good again. It was reset and welcome home I needed. It was a perfectly cut and marinated kalbi. The fish Jin was seasoned so well I barely needed to dip it into a sauce. The portions could have fed 2. I asked if they were related to the Gina's in Market City. Bro, this is the OG Gina's!! The owner said they sold the other one and his mom helped him start this one. It looked like the whole family was behind the counter. I wanted to cry. Not all things have changed in Hawai'i! Some things got better! OG Gina's being in Kapolei is one of em.

Side bar and upstairs private area for party. Sports bar feel with televisions. Only thing is not all we're on and the units are too small for the space. Other than that, it's spacious and clean. 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!!!

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.

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...

Broke Da Mouth really lives up to its name!…read more I've been here a couple of times and every visit has been amazing. Honestly, I was so food high after eating that I completely forgot to write a review! On my latest visit, I had the bone-in luau, and it was absolutely delicious, tender, flavorful, and full of that local comfort-food goodness. I paired it with their spicy garlic furikake chicken, and that combo did not disappoint! Definitely recommend giving this place a try, but there are a couple of things to know: check their hours before you go, especially on the weekends since they close early. And if you want to get your food without a long wait, line up before they open. The line gets CRAZY! But honestly, the wait is worth it. Come hungry and leave happy... and hopefully remember to write your review before the food coma kicks in!

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!

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.
