    Came here last night for dinner and we left sooo happy. Definitely ate way too much but just couldn't stop ourselves. We were waited on by Justin and Tae and they were so friendly, attentive and helpful! We all ordered the $77/person prime beef 9 course meal and were barely able to finish all of it. Banchan was delicious and maybe we could've finished the meat and soups if we didn't indulge in the sides. Parking is in the back lot (it may fill up during busy hours) but you'll get the first hour of parking free when you scan the QR code inside the restaurant. The next hour after is $3. Private company. Definitely recommend coming here!! Good idea to make reservations in advance. Ask for Justin!!

    This is one of my favorite places to eat Korean BBQ on Oahu. Its location in Niu Valley Center gives you plenty of free parking options which is always nice. The restaurant itself is also pretty big but I'd recommend making reservations since it was quite busy when we went. The prix fixe menu is what we went with and it came in at $70 a person but was well worth the price! My favorites were the prime ribeye cap (highly recommend), as well as prime beef brisket and Korean steamed eggs. 10/10 would recommend!

    I think this would be one of my top three Korean restaurants in Hawaii and that says a lot from someone who has lived in Korea for 3 years. I feel there is a lot of authenticity when I was eating here. The servers can speak Korean and English which is helpful. They were also very attentive and they did an amazing job and making everyone satisfied with the food. The Kalbitang (갈비탕) was amazing. It felt like I was back in Korea where I found my first small hole the wall restaurant that gave off the feeling of a home cooked Korean meal. Overall an amazing experience and will definitely come again soon Off notes: A bit crowded but overall a nice venue for Korean food. The floors are a bit slippery (not sure if it's the product they're using or the tile itself) so be careful.

    We're impressed with fresh ingredients, top quality preparation plus care that goes into every banchan, dish, and stew, producing amazing flavors. Highly pleased with outstanding customer service. I ordered One Special Deluxe Rice Meal that featured Hot Stone Pot Rice, TteokGalbi, and Soy Bean Paste Stew. My husband and son shared Deluxe Premium BBQ Meal which offered Hot Stone Pot Rice, A. Combo, and Soy Bean Paste Stew. Complimentary hot tea automatically served at the table. Unfortunately, tea retained heat for a short amount of time in covered pitcher. An array of twelve banchan where pickled veggies were perfect! When my husband kindly requested for a second serving of kim chee and fishcake, male employee provided it without hesitation. Hot Stone Pot Rice remained steaming hot even with the lid off for over an hour. TteokGalbi served sizzling hot retained heat on the platter for a long time. Soy Bean Paste Stew continued to be piping hot throughout our dining experience. Cold water served upon request. Restrooms are located in the restaurant. If you're seated at a booth, see signage and scan QR code for parking deets. Press the button if you need service and don't see a Server nearby. Enjoyed leisurely consuming our meal within enclosed space and each other's company on Valentine's Day! Highly recommend lunch specials. Dinner for sure next time.

    Hangang Korean Grill House and it's definitely one of the more polished Korean BBQ spots in Honolulu. The restaurant has a modern, clean interior that feels a little more upscale than your typical KBBQ place, which made the experience feel like a nice night out rather than just a quick meal. The quality of the meat was the highlight. Everything tasted fresh and well-marbled, especially the beef cuts on the grill. You can really tell they focus on premium ingredients, and the flavor comes through without needing heavy marinades the signature veggies with the stamp on the mushroom cute. Service was attentive and friendly, and the overall setup made grilling at the table easy and enjoyable. It's a great place to come with friends so everyone can share different cuts and dishes. Overall, Hangang is a solid Korean BBQ spot if you're looking for good quality meat, generous portions, and a slightly more elevated dining experience. Definitely a place I'd come back to when the Korean BBQ cravings hit.

    Set b

    Great service! I've been here four times and unfortunately service/food is a bit inconsistent. The first time I came, everything was impeccable. Service and food. The beef was sooooo soft and perfectly cooked. Every bite of meat had me saying "wow". The second and third time, we got a specific server that would put beef on the grill, walk away, and forget it. So everything was overcooked/burnt. The fourth time, last night, we got the woman server that served me the first time, so I was like, yes!!! She's great. In the set b, the steak and skirt steak was so soft and just amazing. The brisket and the beef tongue was a bit overcooked and chewy, but not terrible. The soft tofu soup is a lot more tofu than soup. But it tastes good. It was very busy on a Saturday night, I joined the yelp waitlist at 7pm and we were seated around 9-9:10pm. Make sure to check before you plan to go!!

    Brisket
    Steve S.

    Pretty pricey spot, but the quality of the meat was very good. My wife and I ordered the $119 combination B, which feeds 2 people. It came with 4 kinds of beef cuts, including premium sirloin, premium skirt steak, premium brisket and ox tongue. I really enjoyed the brisket. It was tender, juicy, so much flavor and melted in my mouth. The other steak cuts were incredibly delicious as well. Ox tongue, however, wasn't my thing. It was very chewy and was lacking flavor. The meats came witb a nice variety of banchan, but those didn't really stand out from many other banchan that I've tried in other Korean restaurants. Our combination also came with one kimchi stew and it was actually pretty tasty. I was still hungry and considered ordering a kimchi pancake, which I love so much, but the $28 price tag stopped me. The service was solid, as the waiters did their best to be there for us to help us cook the meats. The place itself is clean, with a contemporary design, with 20 some tables with grills for dining in. Good food, good place, but maybe slightly too authentic for me. I'm used to good Korean bbq spots in LA, but this one seems authentically above, in a good way. Glad I tried this spot.

    Hangang - Waimanu Street ***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ***** Food: ***** Value: **** Menu: ***** Ambiance: **** Service: **** Parking: ***** When I asked my Korean national friends, where is their favorite Korean restaurant, most will say Hangang. Hangang has two locations. The original is near Ala Moana and they recently opened up their second restaurant in Niu Valley. In my opinion, they have the second best Banchan, after Korea Garden. However, I think they're marinated Korean short ribs or kalbi is the best. I've been to Hangang five times in the last six months and I've always had good service. I've enjoyed all the dishes that I've tried. Their food is tasty and I highly recommend that you give them a try. RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Korean short ribs or Kalbi = A Spicy pork = A Spicy arrowroot cold noodle = A Jajangmyeon Black bean noodles = A Soft tofu stew = B (more to come, I'll be back) Yelp: https://m.yelp.com/biz/hangang-honolulu Website: YELP: Milton K Sorry! They allow only one 12 second video & the remaining to 3 seconds. The full video and pictures of the entire menu can be found on other platforms/apps: MiltonIn808 RATINGS KEY: A = Really Good - one of the best B = Good - would order again C = ok - similar, nothing special D = Not very good - wouldn't order F = Terrible - avoid

    Two different selections
    Stephanie C.

    This is the first time I had lunch here. I came with two friends who still live in Honolulu. The meal was great, we chose the $28.95 meal and it was delicious and large servings. We had a takeout bag!!! The service was amazing and quick and pleasant. The ambiance is very clean and for a Friday, it was pretty busy for our 11 AM reservations. If you want to add this location for your Korean cuisine, give them a try!

    Hangang is hands-down our favorite Korean BBQ spot on the island--authentic, elevated, and consistently delicious. We always go for their set prix fixe menu, which is honestly one of the best values in Honolulu. It comes with a full spread of banchan, fresh salad, soup, steamed egg, cold noodles, and a huge selection of meats that always feels generous. They offer both a regular beef set and a Wagyu upgrade, but honestly the regular option is outstanding--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The short rib and brisket are our favorites; they cook beautifully on the grill and stay incredibly moist. Their dipping sauces elevate everything, especially the pink Hawaiian salt--such a simple touch but it makes each bite pop. You can really taste the quality of the meat here. For $77 per person, the prix fixe is absolutely worth it. You leave full, happy, and never feeling like you overpaid. Plus, they finish the meal with dessert, which is such a nice treat after all the grilling. My personal favorites are the soft tofu soup and kimchi soup--both are rich, comforting, and perfectly seasoned. And I'll admit, I always steal a bite (or two) of my husband's cold noodle soup because it's that refreshing. They also have an à la carte menu with tons of great options if you want to add on or customize your meal. Everything we've tried so far has been high-quality and prepared well. The service is another reason we keep coming back--attentive without hovering, quick to change grills, and always friendly. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and spacious, which makes the entire dining experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. If you love Korean BBQ or just want an elevated dining experience that still feels homey and authentic, Hangang is absolutely a must-try. We recommend it to everyone visiting--and it never disappoints.

    Kalbi
    Keisha C.

    Got their rice lunch special ($30) and chose the kalbi and tofu soup which comes with purple rice in a hot pot. Big portion for the price and love the variety you get with the protein and soup and sides. Kalbi was tasty and tender, my soup wasn't boiling when it came out so the egg needed to be stirred to get cooked. Service was a bit slow since they were pretty busy but they were friendly. I didn't have a reservation and was seated right away. They also have a small parking lot in the back that they share with a few other businesses. They have a few other lunch specials worth checking out and I will be back to try!

    Great lunch set choices! We don't need to eat dinner. The assortment of banchan is great! The kimchee is fresh fresh and on a little sweet but so is the bulgogi and n spicy braised beef. The cold noodles are silky and firm. The spice level in the stews is just right. Love the stone pot rice w pumpkin pieces. The corvina and mackerel were grilled just right. Great service. Open Table reservation available. Parking in the rear of building w a fee.

    They have great lunch specials and I went on a lunch date with the hubby. There were two couples before us and we waited 25 minutes after getting our names on the list. We perused the lunch special menu offered daily from 11am-3pm. We both got the lunch special set $27.95 per person. It comes with stone pot rice, one main dish and one stew. I picked the Korean short ribs bbq with soybean paste stew. My husband chose the chicken bbq with kimchi stew. It also came with nine complimentary banchan dishes. Everything was delicious. I loved the short ribs, but they didn't give too many pieces. The soybean paste stew was fully flavored. The kimchi stew wasn't that spicy, which I liked. My two favorite banchan dishes were the soy potatoes and black beans. It was great that they served black rice with black beans and kabocha in the stone pot. I left feeling really full and had leftovers for the next day.

    I loved it here. Truly a hole in the wall. Parking is really tough so street parking is usually…read moregonna be the norm unless you get lucky in their tiny shared parking lot. The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

    TL;DR The spicy pork…read moreis good. ----- I had Guava Smoked on my radar for quite a while, so when I found myself nearby and craving a protein-packed plate lunch, I decided to drop in. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant that is shared with the other businesses in the same building. When I walked into the restaurant at about 1pm on a Wednesday, I was surprised to find it almost empty. It's a pretty large space, so the lack of patrons was rather glaring. There was one person sitting at the counter facing the kitchen and one employee working. This was my very first visit to Guava Smoked so I asked the person at the counter what he recommends. He said the two most popular meats are the kalbi and the spicy pork. "Perfect!" I thought, because those were the two options I was eyeing. Unfortunately, they were out of kalbi that day. Bummer... Nothing else on the menu caught my eye, so I ordered a smoked spicy pork plate to go. The spicy pork was good. Did it blow my mind? I wouldn't say it did. But it was satisfying enough. Honestly, I really wish they had kalbi available when I went. Hopefully next time I stop in they will.
