    A hidden gem on island! Such an authentic Korean restaurant in Hawaii. Their meats are great, and the sauces are super unique and tasty. I also loved that the meats came with high quality vegetables such as mushroom, bell peppers, asparagus, etc. I also love their set meals that come with a side of tofu soup or cold noodles. Their drinks are very authentic and good as well. One of the best Korean spots on island, and waiters are very nice, helpful, accommodating and provide great service.

    A wonderful Korean BBQ restaurant -- we absolutely loved it! The portions were huge and incredibly delicious. The family who runs the restaurant provides exceptional service; they were simply wonderful. Great music, fantastic Korean salads, and an overall amazing experience. We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend it!

    It's unfortunate that I had to update my review. The menu has changed. I understand it's a tourist area so it'll be pricey but I didn't expect it to be so pricey for their portion size. Just a bowl of soup was over $21. I use to love going here every time I came to Hawai'i.

    A hidden gem. There's a parking area across the street...a bit pricey, down an alley way off Lewers. Came with a large party of 7 with reservations on a Sunday evening and it was packed...had to wait about 20 minutes. It's a small but comfortable place. Be aware you will have smoky clothes when you leave as you bbq everything at your table. Enough said...but a fun interactive dinner. The meats were plentiful for all 7 of us, just wished there were more veges. The banchan was unremarkable, with only three selections and a very simple lettuce salad. The best we could do was order the B course with several additional sides. It was plenty of food. Best tasting was the marinaded short ribs. If in the area, should check this out!

    Friday 6:30pm Party of 2 We were seated right away. Ordered bulgogi, rice, and salad. Everything was delicious. Diet coke and water to drink. Excellent service.

    Boneless short rib, tofu soup, plenty Banchan and vegetables

    We found this restaurant two years ago and had such a great dinner, actually twice while we stayed in Waikiki. We came back to This place and had a wonderful dinner again! The food is great. We ordered boneless short rib and meat has great flavor. Tofu soup has not been changed the good quality. This place is definitely our choice of regular for the next trip back to Waikiki!

    Other than the alley where it's located which wasn't bad it's just not easy to see when walking on the street the place was very nice looking inside. The staff was so attentive and efficient the entire time it was already a pleasure being here. The bbq was just too delicious. All the sides and everything was very tasty. We enjoyed the entire experience here. Honestly we were waiting across the street for the Japanese bbq and when we saw this place we got curious so went to check it out and the clients coming highly recommended it they were sooo right. We made the right move in coming here.

    Stopped by dinner with my family. My parents wanted eat Korean and searched near my hotel area. Took Uber go there and it took only 7mins to got there. Ordered yukgaejang and seafood pancake and hot ston bibimbap. Yukgaejang(1/5)-really disappointed. I never eaten like this Yukgaejang tasted before. Definitely I wouldn't recommend Seafood pancake(2/5)-you don't have to eat with soy sauce. Enough salty. Hot ston bibimbap(3/5)-it's ok than other food which was we ordered. If I travel to Honolulu again would not back to this place again. Maybe we ordered wrong food but I wouldn't go back. Service was ok and not pretty clean place.

    Located in Waikiki, we walked here for the touristy shopping area. The set meal for 2 cost around $95, but it can easily serve 3 persons as I had left overs for dinner the next day. Bonchon was nice and I liked the tofu soup. The spicy if level of tofu soup was a little weak, like 2 out of 10 spicy but it's ok, they don't want to offend any taste buds. There were many choices for soju and we for a pre-mixed mango soju $22 which could have served 3-4 people. Great place to have Korean bbq!

    Banchan - the "salad" was amazingly delicious!

    This is a small place, 8 or 9 tables. We arrived for an early dinner and were sat right away but by the time we were done all the tables were full and there were people waiting outside (Sunday night). They brought a lettuce "salad," which was surprisingly good and 3 sides, one of which is kimchi. Usually there is more banchan at a Korean place but I didn't really miss them. Our meal was DELICIOUS. We had the marinated short ribs (super yummy though a bit fatty), the plain soondubu (which does not have kimchi, btw) and the vegetable dolsot bibimbop (it's not vegetarian, fyi). They also brought lettuce and bean paste for the meat (OG lettuce wraps!). We also had 2 bottles of soju. We had a very enjoyable experience and service was also excellent. It's away from the Main Street and places, but not far. It's right next to a tiny karaoke bar.

    A hidden gem. Came here on a Wednesday night spontaneously while craving some BBQ. My friends and I were genuinely surprised by how generous the portion sizes were. Highly recommend getting their different cuts of meat because it was definitely their specialty! Everything was of high quality and the service was excellent as every waiter was also very attentive. They were even kind enough to cut our meats when we were struggling. Even the side dishes were flavorful! Truly don't judge the place from the outside appearance because the vibes, service, food portions and food quality exceeds all expectations. If I ever visit Oahu again, I will definitely come back!

    Banchan

    Came here about a week ago and ABSOLUTELY loved it. I've had my share of KBBQ, and this place definitely stands out. To start, the service was great - everyone was super friendly and they even gave us a list of recommendations to check out while we were on the island! We came for dinner (around 5:30 PM) and were seated quickly. We ordered the 2-person $95 deal. For our meats, we got kalbi, brisket, and garlic shrimp and the raw beef bibimbap. The stars of the show for me were the bibimbap - truly perfect with great seasoning and the perfect ratio of rice to veggies - and the garlic shrimp, which were huge! The shrimp were SO garlicky and paired well with all the banchan. I also liked how you get lettuce to wrap the meat in! The brisket was a great cut as well and was thicker than other kinds I've had in the past. Can't go wrong with the kalbi either! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. It's a family-owned spot with great food and great people!

    First time trying this place and we love it. The food was delicious! The hot stone bibimbap was delicious and the staff mixed it for me. We also ordered spice pork. It was delicious. Best customer service. The staff was friendly. I will definitely recommend this place

    I have seen so many positive reviews on Mei Mei so I thought it gotta be good! Hmmm I wasn't sure…read moreif it was just a bad day for the chef or the quality has gotten worse? But we were so disappointed with the quality of the food we couldn't even finish everything. So I got 2 lunch orders: rice with char siu and roast pork, and rice with roast duck and chicken. I also ordered half pound of beef trip to try. So this way we got to sample everything. At the end the only thing we enjoyed was the roast pork. The skin was crispy and meat had good flavor. The duck had too much fat. There was not much meat left after getting rid of the bones and the fat. The chicken was quite mushy. The texture just was not right probably because it wasn't too fresh? The char siu was probably one of the worst I have even had. It had so much tendon that there was not a single piece that we could even chew through it. And the beef tripe was soooooo salty. It was just very disappointing. It was relatively cheap though compared to other restaurants and they gave us a very big portion but I don't think I will go back given that there are places that sell better roast duck and char siu.

    GET THE CORN BREAD!…read more Okay, now that the most important information is there...we loved this spot! The brisket plate was perfect for two meals. It falls apart as you're eating it in all the best ways. I regret not ordering it by the pound. The potato salad was a bit too mustardy for me but the cream corn was 10/10 I should've asked for it in a cup. My favorite part was the corn bread. I'm used to corn bread being dry and not my choice of a bbq side but I took a chance thanks to the employee hyping up all my food choices and tried it. The texture was more of a bread budding and was unbelievably delicious. I regret only getting one piece and not another one for the following day. I guess what I'm trying to say is, swing on by, order a little bit of everything and you'll leave a few pounds heavier and very happy.

It helps when the owner does the slicing and offers the choice between lean, fatty or some of both when selection brisket and burnt ends. All served with patience and a smile. Hard to believe owner moved from Texas as he and his staff serve aloha every day consistently. So tempting to over order as the smoke permeates the air and I do. Their meats have converted my wife into a carnivore and it's not hard to see why she crossed over into the smoky side. I still have bits of the brisket in between my teeth as I write this review while waiting for my dental visit.
