Went on a Sunday and tables were open but they were too busy to help. Waited 20 mins and left. Not gonna go back for bad service.

Came here when I was traveling in HI. The food was ok. But be aware they OVERCHARGED me on my credit card. Although the amount was very little ($0.94), this is still unacceptable! I gave enough tip (more than 15% after taxes) they're not going to be satisfied though.. TERRIBLE! read more

I have been a Korean cold noodles lover all my life. I have had cold noodles in countless restaurants in China and in the US and even had cold noodles once in PRK. Among all the cold noodles I have had, those made by Ginza Won are definitely in the top layer. My wife had tofu stew, and she loves it, too! We did not order BBQ but I can tell it's good from the smell from next table that ordered it. There is another thing about this restaurant that's worth mentioning, although my evaluation of this restaurant is not affected by it. On the night we visited the restaurant, my mother forgot her purse in the restaurant. It was already after 1am when we realized that the purse was missing, and we needed to catch a plane to CA early next morning. After we arrived in LA, I called the restaurant and the owner Mr. Kim helped us find the purse immediately. He then sent the purse back to us via UPS at his own cost, although we offered to compensate him the shipment fee. We are really grateful about what he did and will definitely go to his restaurant when we visit Honolulu again. read more

Have no idea what Christopher Z is talking about and with only a few reviews it's sad a place gets docked ratings on his comments. This person obviously hasn't had much experience with korean food furthermore korean restaurants. 1) food is great (have spent 6 months in Korea so I know my stuff) 2) menu isn't a work of art but I read it fine. And I don't read japanese or korean! 3) if you have eaten Korean on US mainland you will know Korean food is not fast food prices. This place is not expensive for Hawaii standards. I ate raw beef bi bim bap ,(highly recommended) one beer and unlimited good quality side dishes. Out the door for $30. 4) I was the only westerner in the place and it was packed. Says a lot for it being popular among the korean population. 5) it isn't white tablecloth. But guess what Chrisopher....no korean BBQ is. It's clean and staff are nice and attentive. Enjoy. read more

This is the worst restaurant ever! Small, dirty, poor service, and bad food. We were tourists in Waikiki and were given a flyer. It was in back on an alley (should have walked away) in a small room. The menus were all in Japanese. We just ordered a BBQ set for two and the meat was super tough. They didn't bring 3 items in the set and were mad when we asked for them. We couldn't chew the meat so I asked for a small plate of Kimchi to eat my rice. Waited 20 minutes without any service. Owner then came and pointed to some sign on the wall in Japanese. Told me that it will cost me $4 for small plate of Kimchi. The unedible meal costed us over $50 for two people. It was like being robbed in a dirty crack shack. Crazy experience! read more

The worse bbq in the world . Only one piece in short rib . Few pieces in tenderloin. And the taste is so terrible ...

Service is good the food tastes so bad no flavor not recommended at all... the air ventilation is not working after dinner you smell like BBQ guys don't waste your money here read more

It's kind of trick location cuz the main entrance is back alley. But the food was good! I ordered marinated beef and soybean paste soup and it was good. I went this restaurant two times! The price is all right and the combo menu's portion was great! Meat lover's menu! read more

Pretty good late night food. Definate whole in the wall place, (meaning hard to find) but because it was so hidden we had very quick service. Food is pretty good too. First round of kirin beers on draft are only 99 cents! read more

Good value, the service is very attentive and the food is delicious. I can't remember what I ordered though. I remember it was good.

We stumbled on to this gem on our first night on Oahu. The sign on the corner directed us. After a couple of recommendations from our great server we ordered the Bibimbap - and Combo A - a nice assortment of beef and vegetables cooked right at the table, kindly assisted by our server! Everything was delicious - we will go back again. read more

Don't come here for Korean food ever! We have ordered one beef rib soup. The beef ribs soup did not have any beef ribs only come with a little bit beef cubes which they didn't cook well still very hard to eat. We couldn't get the beef down. Also the customer services is as poor as the beef!! I don't think they know how to treat customer in friendly way. They just yelling on customers and not helpful to solve the problems.:( read more

The place had all the makings of a good down home k BBQ place-- the out of the way location, smoky bar feel and J and k patrons. But it's hugely overpriced at $23 and $25 per person set menus. The problem was skimpiness on what was brought out and the begrudging attitude about supplying more sides. Maybe we're spoiled by K-town in LA but if they don't have it these guys could use some more competition. They're spoiled maybe by their overpaying Japanese tourist clientele. At 15 per person and at least two rounds of 95 cent kirins we would have been happy with the deal, but at our prices we felt ripped off. I've never felt dismissively treated by Japanese wait staff, who are usually extremely attentive. But this place was exceptional and not in a good sense in that respect as well. read more

This is one of those places where you just see the place and you know it's not gonna be good. We went inside and at first, it felt like kinda like a Japanese yakiniku joint (I'm Japanese haha). But this place isn't owned by Japanese people. Service isn't great. Waiter hardly said a word, wasn't very polite. The quality of the food isn't great, and the quantity is terrible. We paid $23 for like, 8 pieces of thinly sliced meat. I won't be going back to this place ever again and I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's a waste of money! I gave this a 1 star just 'cause I did leave the place with a full stomach (at a hefty price) and because I can't give it a lower rating haha. read more

A funky little place, way off the beaten path, but well worth the effort. The food it excellent and the service is the best. Definitely one of my favorite Waikiki restaurants! read more

Probably go for a 1.5 rating if I could. Menu was extremely dirty and unreadable unless you are Japanese. Plus the prices are not cheap. Would not recommend eating any of the meat seeing how it is not fresh at all. My friend got a really bad stomach ache for 2 days from eating the pork intestine. read more

I wish I could say our adventurous spirit proved successful. Had we listened to a certain previous Yelp review and believed them, we'd have saved ourselves a tripe and beef tongue horror story. Thankfully we checked out the bathroom before ordering more than drinks. How could a restroom be so filthy? We paid for the "chilled red wine" and left. What an experience...never to be relived, but definitely to be shared. We thoroughly enjoyed Katsu at the restaurant just outside of that dank back alley. read more

Wow, shame to all the people who gave one star! Yeah, they might not be the cleanest restaurant around, but they have very good Korean food! We ordered Bibimbab, beef rice porridge and ducbogi, all of which were delicious! Service was good too! Didn't try their restroom, but, aren't all the Korean restaurants like this? This is authentic! read more

Food is not bad, while service is not what I expected, for instance, we waited for a fairly long time even after we seated by them. The food is ok but price is not really worth it. It is said 1 $ on yelp, but it is actually more towards to 3$. read more

Peter Kim does an excellent job in several aspects of his restaurant beginning with fresh ingredients, good service, quality meat for the BBQ, love his kimchi, kimchi jjigae, and most importantly and hard to get in Waikiki is his consistency to deliver this quality every night. Doesn't matter what day I show up, it's always delicious. read more

I like Korean bbq but this one Price are expensive, food quality is bad. Look at the menu before go in. I am 100% positive you can find better place read more

Ha! This place was fun... scared my husband when i walked down a tiny alley and poked my head into their back door :) The menu is mostly in Japanese and the staff was a bit rusty in English but that never stops me and they seemed to really care and tried hard. So we were out for an adventure but decided to stick with what we know and ordered bulgogi (how do you spell that?) Food came out quick with all the fixins and then it was up to us to make it right - and we did. Prices were ok, food was ok, the place was clean and at the end I even got a compliment from my husband when he admitted that at first he was skeptical but then found it to be great :) Will come back! read more

We went to Hawaii as a family reunion and this was the Worst korean food ever we had. They ruined everybody's feeling there. Do not recommend this restaurant. Big time rip off here with the worst quality and the portion! Just get one dollar burger! read more

Upon arrival to Waikiki, It was late and we happened across this little hole-in-the wall restaurant. This day (Saturay) they were having a special where everything was 50% off. This is a great deal. We tried the BBQ and did the grilling ourself. The food was prepared to perfection. We also tried the tofu soup which had a wonderful flavor. The wait staff was very attentive and took good care of us and was willing to do the grilling if we wanted. read more

Not only is the environment extremely sketchy with a cold unwelcoming atmosphere, but the food made me kimjong ill! The BBQ was more under cooked than food served in hell's kitchen and the service was so slow that it should have cum with a free Domino's Pizza. They didn't play any music. No Twice, No Blackp!nk, No BTS, it was quieter than John Boner talking about poverty. read more

I thought prices were high considering the small portions. Despite having a table cooktop, our food was prepared in the kitchen. Our scallops were icy cold on the inside read more

Great food and the staff is so kind. The idea of dining in a family restaurant over a big chain in Waikiki is so much more appealing. Thank you for your great service. I will be back!! *\(^o^)/* read more

Just bad food, the beef was so hard and the pork smell just like alcohol. I don't understand why they're so many Korean people come to here, even for me it tastes like nothing, never ever wanna go there again. read more

great Korean bbq. we always go back whenever we visit Honolulu. order the BBQ combo set, two $0.99 kirin beer, extra beef tongue, beef tartar with raw egg, and take advantage of free refill of appetizers. you can have a very satisfying meal for two under $50 in expensive downtown Honolulu. can't beat that! read more

when I went there with my friends, they always try to be kind to us. their service is pretty good. We ordered kalbi, Bibimbam, innerpart rib, and they gave us various side dishes with salad. please try it!! ginzawon is best restaurant. I have never eaten that tasty foods before. read more

i dont even want to give one star. poor service. they never care us at all. food is not that good. just find elsewhere to eat korean food

I usually don't like to write a review about the restaurants,except there is really something make me don't feel comfortable with. First of all , the food test is just ok,I m not really picky person.we ordered a dish of rice cake,it's cost $14 plus tex about $15,and we can literally count how many pieces inside of that dish,6 pieces of rice cake and 4 pieces of fish cake and other just the veggies!!! I also ordered a cold noddle , an slice of apple ,a slice of beef,( by the way,the beef test horrible,not fresh,very hard texture)which I throw away .finally the payment is here , they automatically add the tip at the end,and it's not clearly say it for tip, it's just say 15% tax. As I know most restaurants automatically take tips from 6 or more groups of ppl.not for 3 of us!!! And the menus doesn't specify their tipping policy . When we ask why, they explain because most of the tourist no leave any tips ,so that why. May be I can understand that,but how if the tourist dose not understand the check,and they double pay for it? We are from America,we know how badly feeling is when ppl not tip your right. But the way your guys did I just don't agree with!!! If you want your business getting better,I think you have work other ways. And don't smoke in front of your customers when you ready to cook! read more
