This place is truly a hidden gem. They've been in business for 18+ years but due to the pandemic and their location, they're having a hard time obtaining new customers. Until they get more popular, there almost is never a wait. Which is very hard to find at any other yakiniku restaurant on the island. The meat is good quality. I am a Brisket & Beef Tongue person so I'm happy they offer both on the cheaper menu. I go here for convenience, not for the experience. Other restaurants will give you top tier hospitality and give you 2 pieces of meat nicely plated at a time. This restaurant will basically ask what you want and drop off a heaping plate of raw meat at your table and come back occasionally to fill water and to ask if you want another round. Oh, and they are BYOB but they have a few can soda options also. 15% Gratuity is included in the bill so you'll pay approximately $82 for two people. In my opinion, it's better than being finagled to tip 20%+ like other restaurants. This way, you just pay the bill as is and be on your way. Overall, if you're not looking for anything fancy and something to just satisfy the yakiniku craving, I'd highly recommend you checking out Han Yang in Kalihi. read more

First & foremost, there's a really fine print at the bottom of the menu stating "A 18% gratuity tip will be added to the check". Just wanted to say that it is off of the TAXED total, not the subtotal. If the tip was off of the subtotal, then you tax the subtotal only, it comes out to almost 20% tip they added. This was off putting to us. FOOD (value & quality) 8/10 $33.99 was for the standard AYCE dinner. It included rice, salad, shoyu potatoes, kim chee, cucumbers, & mac salad for the side dishes. We were asked to order 4 meats to start, so we got kalbi (8/10), garlic short ribs (3/10 bland), brisket (8/10), & pork jowl (?/10) but they got our order wrong and gave us beef tongue (7/10) instead. These portions were pretty big! I recommend asking them for smaller/half portions for your first round. For the 2 of us, we ended up not needing to order more because there was so much meat. I would have liked to order other meats to try (and my pork jowl)! SERVICE (2/10) We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday night and there was only 1 other table on the grill side of the restaurant. Initial order taking, water, utensils, & side dishes were quick but after that, it was like we were forgotten. We had to flag someone down for everything (more napkins, chopsticks, sauce, grill change). Our waters were never filled and they only asked if we wanted to order more 1 time, after we flagged them down to change the grill. OVERALL: would not come back. The food was tasty but the 18% gratuity on your taxed total and the lack of service during a really slow time just couldn't make up for it. Bummers. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Menu 4-25-2026. 18% gratuity automatically added to all checks. - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Such a disgusting experience, paid over a $100 for two and staff didn't come back to check on us to get more orders. Decided to leave after waiting for over 30 mins for any type of attention from the staff members. Employees just walked by and stared at the empty plates and burnt grill. Save your money!! Go to Hale Kale instead even if you have to wait. This place is just outrageous ewwwww yack sobrang nakaka disappoint. read more

Don't let this local style BBQ place in Kalihi fool you, they might not look fancy, they don't have that high tech ventilation system to suck up all the smoke like the new fancy BBQ place. But I think they offer good deal for their meats and services. We come here because they have cow tongue, which is our favorite! If you go to H-mart to buy a box of cow tongue, you know how much that would cost you. Their short ribs, pork belly are also very good. You can order other items like soup, etc. they give us some small dishes, two bowl of rice that we never touched, (I should have told them take back to rice when they brought them and don't waste them) they also give us a small plate of salad. They changed our grill three times during our dinner which is nice. When the place gets busy, you may have to wait a bit for your meat to come. When we pay the bill at the end, they put 18% tips on our bill even we only have two people. I am not sure if they printed a note someplace on the menu saying that they will charge 18% tips automatically. I would like the owner to clarify that if they read this review. read more

Customer service is in the negatives. Our experience started off alright, but throughout our stay there we were only serviced about 4 times in total (taking the order, bringing the food twice and bringing the drinks). It wasn't even busy but the servers just kept passing our table, they didn't even check in or change the grill. Don't waste your money here people. read more

Save your money! Service is bad here. They never check on their customers, came here because I remember they used to be good but not anymore. So disappointing, look for other spot instead of spending your money here. read more

There are two styles. You can choose to do buffet Yakiniku (grill your own meat) or order from the regular menu where all the food is cooked and brought to you. Your seating will depend on if you do buffet or regular menu. It's a family style restaurant. Service is brisk. Make sure to know what to order and place it's all at once. The kim chee soup is a bit spicy and sour. Old Kim chee is great for your gut. Spicy cold noodles with buck wheat noodles are normally served with daikon and boiled egg. I was surprised I only got half a boiled egg. What happened to the other half? The apple slices were a nice and refreshing surprise. The star of lunch time meals here is the 3 meat combo. I got the BBQ chicken, Kalihi, and meat Jun. the meat Jun is thin and the egg covering is slightly sweet. If you want rice, you have to order a side servicing/small bowl of rice. You may request for more ban Chan if you would like more. read more

FOOD -- As other reviewers have mentioned, this place has two styles: yakiniku (all you can eat, grill it yourself style) or order specific dishes from the menu for them to cook and bring it to you. Beef brisket and garlic shortribs were great! I was kind of disappointed with the flavor and texture of the korean kalbi after it was cooked. PRICE -- We did the regular yakiniku menu ($29.99), which includes korean kalbi, garlic shortribs, salted shortribs, brisket meat, beef tongue, garlic kobe meat, salted jobe meat, bbq beef, bbq chicken, bbq pork, pork belly, and pork jowl. Includes unlimited steamed rice, side dishes, salad, seaweed or bean paste stew, and a signature sauce. The pricier $38.99 menu is basically just the regular menu PLUS prime shortrib, ribeye, shrimp, dumpling, mountain tripe, beef intestine, and baby octopus. For two people who did the $29.99 yakiniku menu and a can of soda, the total was $80, which includes the tax and automatic 18% gratuity tip. SERVICE -- Most of the workers are elderly ladies. They are quick and efficient with replacing the grills and meats. They have a 1.5 hour time limit for dining in. AMBIANCE -- Came here on a Thursday evening at around 8pm. There were not a lot of customers in the overall restaurant. We were seated immiediately. The restaurant is divided into two sides for each order style. The yakiniku side had about five tables occupied, there were about four more table empty. There were less tables occupied in the ordering side. The place, visually/aesthetically, looks a little bit run down but everything is in working order. Good for casual eats, but not for special occasions. OVERALL -- Great place for the price and quality of the meats! I just wished that the kalbi meat was better. Review for my visit on July 24, 2025. read more

This place is in kalihi right next to guieb cafe. They have free parking outside but go on a random time because it does get busy and parking does fill up. The food is cheap!!!! 3 choices for $20 something, wow! Super worth it! AND it comes with sides. Wow! So they seperate their sides because on one side of their restaurant you have all you can eat yakiniku and on the other side it's reg eating. Mama & papa there are super nice and they make you feel at home. The food is good. Cooked to perfection. Very fulfilling. They give a lot. Although I wish it was cooler in there because the ac was not really strong enough. The noise level is regular, not too quiet and not too loud which was perfect. The tables were a little squishy. But I enjoyed the company of the workers. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - The BEST All you can EAT Yakiniku with the freshest sides, top quality meats &&& the friendliest SERVICE . - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went to Han Yang and got a Kalbi and Meat Jun plate I was a bit disappointed in the amount of food on the plate there was one thinly sliced piece of short rib Kalbi and one piece of Meat Jun although the Meat Jun meat that they used seemed to be of higher quality of meat it was still disappointing that there was only one piece. The Kalbi did have a good flavor but was so thin it was like barely anything. The sides were pretty decent the Kim Chee had good flavor and the potatoes were good also there was bean sprouts and marinated seaweed also. Parking is a bit tight as it is in a busy little mall with other food establishments. The customer service was a bit lacking but not really bad. although I was a bit disappointed I'd try them again maybe getting something else or the all you can eat menu to see if it makes my experience better. read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

$30 for ayce or $40 for ayce with slightly more options. There wasn't really any additional meats that were worth getting the $40 ayce though. 90 minutes to eat your limit, but we were done on the first plate. They said we could order 4 meats at a time. We got the brisket, pork belly, salted Kobe meat, and beef tongue. They were all pretty decent EXCEPT the Kobe meat. Very chewy and tough. There was a fat block provided to oil the grill, but everything still stuck lol. You can order seaweed or soybean soup as well. I was surprised that the place was fairly busy, as I haven't heard much about this place since middle school. Normally Korean ladies in restaurants aren't too friendly but they're efficient, BUT all three of these ladies were pretty nice. Not like a make small talk and complement like of nice, but a welcoming kind of nice and efficiency. It's a very casual and lively restaurant, come hungry and avoid the Kobe meat! read more

Han Yang Restaurant - Current prices as of June 5 2025 - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

After searching all over Honolulu for a good Korean restaurant to cater our baby's Dol (Korean first birthday party), we finally chose Hanyang--and it was absolutely the right decision. Without naming names, we tried nearly every Korean restaurant in Moiliili, Kaimuki, Kahala, Ala Moana, Pearlridge, Kalihi, and Salt Lake. Hanyang was the clear winner--hands down the best in both service and overall food quality. Other places fell short for various (and sometimes multiple) reasons: rice that was either too dry or too mushy, meats that were burnt, and disappointing or nonexistent banchan options. Planning a party is already stressful, and some restaurants made it harder--either handing me a flyer or telling me to take a picture of their catering menu. One shop owner even said, "I have to make 100 bentos?!" But from the moment I walked into Hanyang, the atmosphere was completely different. I was treated like a valued customer. David, the owner, welcomed me, showed me to a booth, offered tea and water, and sat down to talk through my ideas and the catering options available if we chose to work with them. To make sure we liked the food, I purchased five different plate lunches for my family to sample. We tried their kalbi, meat jun, BBQ chicken, spicy pork, and mandoo entrées, along with several banchan--bean sprouts, choi sum, shoyu potato, daikon kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and cabbage kimchi. Everything was delicious, but we especially loved the meat jun and mandoo with their special house sauce. In the end, Hanyang created three custom meal options specifically tailored to our event: a modified bento box, a child's meal (not on their menu), and even a baby/toddler meal (also not on their menu). Everything was thoughtfully designed to perfectly meet our needs. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, outstanding service, and a team willing to go the extra mile, I can't recommend Hanyang enough. They made our baby's Dol a beautiful, stress-free experience. read more

Update on Han Yang Korean restaurant located in the same parking lot as Kikuya, Diners and Guieb. I was craving for Korean sold told my wife let's go since we were in the area .I had their combo which comes with BBQ chicken and meat jun. The Meat Jun was on the hard side but the BBQ chicken was real good marinated perfect . My wife's spicy noodles was ok as well something different it comes cold. We also ordered side fried mandoo which was alright. Support local we be back in the future read more

I been coming here for years & yet I've never written a review! I love coming here. The prices do change from time to time but that's as to be expected with the fluctuations of our economy. Never unreasonable prices though. From the meats to the sides, everything is always yummy. Service has always been great & they are always fully staffed. Owner is always here working also. They have 2 AYCE options now! Ambiance is awesome. With both Yakiniku grills or just plates on the other side. Sometimes when they get really busy, you can even Yakiniku on the other side with a portable grill! read more

I don't really care what others say because this is my opinion! I love coming here even though I don't eat beef. I know, I know...why go yakiniku when most items are beef? Because I like the pork belly and the of course the main thing, the people that I come with. It's like one of the last OG Korean yakiniku places in town. Every where else is very modern like now days and they serve in such small portions where you gotta keep calling them and wait for your meat to come. This place is in another level! You order and a nice big plate of meat comes out! Sometimes if you're lucky, uncle comes out with the whole pan and ask how much you like!! I wouldn't say it's fancy, as you can tell from the inside that it's been opened for some years now but what I'm more excited about is that they now have pork jowl!!!!! That's my next favorite next to pork belly!!! Not a lot of Korean yakiniku on island have pork jowl on the menu, so when I saw that they updated their menu with that added on I was super happy!!! Overall if you haven't tried this place, please come!! The aunties there may not really have a smile onto their faces lol, but I swear they are really nice!! Also, it could get quite busy sometimes so definitely go earlier or later! XD read more

Came here on a friends recommendation! Homey Korean AYCE& order off menu selections. Across Diners Drive In in Kalihi in the strip mall, next to all the newer restaurants ,& liquor store on the other corner( facing mauka). 4 in our group we all ordered combination plates. Kalbi, meatjun Mandoo, chicken, came with about 6 side dishes which we shared Kim chee, cucumber Kim chee, pickled radishes, all dishes came with white rice & seaweed soup.Every thing was tasty & there was ample food for everyone! Service by staff was pleasant & friendly. We will go back! read more

Food is great! Authentic Korean menu. Love the side dishes. Tofu stew, meat jun, mandoo, kalbi all delicious!

Tried the kalbi/chicken mixed plate. It came with seaweed soup, banchan, and rice. The food was pretty good, but I'm giving this place 3 stars because the service leaves much to be desired. I mean, they don't even try. Water was never refilled, no one came to the table once the order was taken and the food was dropped. One of the workers sat at a booth next to me and watched a Korean show on her iPad....I knew this because she wasn't wearing earphones. Again, the food was good, but I'd only go back if I was desperate and there was nothing else open. read more

I was super excited to see an AYCE bbq place offer beef tongue and pork jowl. I went around 6:00 and it wasn't very crowded on a Saturday. The price is 32.99 so it is comparable in price to other AYCE places in town. There is parking out front. When you first walk in you can choose to sit on the left if you are ordering ala carte meals off the menu and to the right if you are doing the AYCE. I noticed that depending on your table people around me had different banchan which seems a bit unfair. Overall the meat quality is okay, some cuts were very juicy and easy to eat while others were quite tough and chewy. read more

Great & quick service, friendly staff & yummy food. Spicy Pork is highly recommended. The parking situation is the only downside. There are a lot of parking stalls, however, the complex is 90% "yummy/good" food establishments. Thus, it's crowded, small/tight stalls = inconsiderate people using 2 parking stall instead of parking within their line. read more

Another review of Han Yang. Did the standard Korean BBQ. They're running a holiday special where's $29.99 until 1/31/2024. I love the fact that they give a large first portion so you're not always having to ask for more again and again. We also got the kim chee stew which was good. We focused on the beef and pork belly. The ban chan (side dishes) were ok. I came out of there full and happy. read more

We arrived early enough on a Friday evening and were seated on the AYCE side of the restaurant right away. If you are looking for cheap AYCE Korean BBQ, I'm not sure if anyone is less than $29.99 pp, seems there was a price increase in the last year, and rightly so as everything has gotten more expensive over time. As we sat, we were brought ban chan, salad, and water. Our order was taken and the meats were brought out pretty quickly. Luckily, our server missed one of our orders, and by the time we realized it, we were already finishing up the meal and wouldn't have any more space to eat more. We weren't sure if we were supposed to ask for the soup, but we weren't there for the soup, so... Ordered Strawberry shochu which came in a plastic shaker bottle, and fun little ladle-like cups for drinking. None of these tiny shot glasses! Dipping sauce is home made and pretty tasty when I mixed it with the oil and salt. When the bill came, my husband looked shocked, as it was nearly $90, when I asked the server, she explained that the 18% tip was included. I've heard of tip being automatically included for large parties, but there was just the 2 of us so it caught us off guard to see it on the bill. That's where they lost that 5th star, as they would take their tip whether they were good or not. Kind of presumptuous if you ask me but, ok if you only want 18%...you got it. read more

We went to Han Yang's at around 11:20 on a Friday. There was still parking in the small parking lot and the spaces are a little tight. There are two sections of the restaurant one is for Yakiniku style Korean barbecue and the other side is dine-in. Because we only had an hour for lunch break, we went to the restaurant. We ordered Korean pancake, fish jun and bimbimbap. They gave served us banchan and rice to share among the four of us for the meal. The Banchan was great, amazingly great, very flavorful, and they had their own twist to their recipes. The service was quick, but it took a while to figure out how to pay for the meal. I ended up going to the cashier to pay for the mean. They didn't really check in on us during the meal. The place is a little dated when it comes to furniture and decor. It needs to be updated. Overall, if you are looking for more authentic Korean food in Kalihi, this is a great place to check out. read more
