This family business is trying to do anything crazy. They stick to what they know they do well--and that's making these local comfort foods--saimin, teri & bbq burgers (and other local platter that I also still need to try). First of all, who knew that burger and saimin combo went together so well?! My burger was great. You could tell it's not just some frozen patty, it legit tastes like a homemade burger. It doesn't look like anything life changing but my does it hittttt. However, I wish I got the bbq burger bc I thought it be a pastey sauce but it's subtle and they make that bbq sauce!! I'm assuming it's the same with the Teri burger. The workers are very hardworking and welcoming. And the place is def cozy. They do the best with what they have. The chairs are probably 40/50 years old but they're still hanging. Like, this is your typical hole in the wall, you get what you get, and you know it's legit. If you want real local food, dis da place!

There is a door that says take out so you open that door and they come and help you when you open it. There is another door for dining in. The man came, asked me for my name and had the order correct on his device. We waited a couple of minutes and he brought our hamburger steak plate, 5 burgers, fried udon, fried saimin, and saimin. They separated the soup and the noodles and that costs $.50. Our order totaled $94. I was kinda taken aback by the total but I guess it's the price nowadays. $94 fed 6 people. The order was correct, which isn't always guaranteed nowadays! Props to them! My family enjoyed the burgers. The hamburger steak plate could've used more gravy. The fried udon was good, but the fried saimin was way too salty. Maybe it was an off night for fried saimin.

We arrived around t and it wasn't to busy, we were able to sit right away and our party of 5 was no problem. There was only one young lady taking orders and working the register so it took her a min to come over. We got some drinks going and after they were delivered she took our order. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was very good. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty, my wontons were good and the broth and noodles hit the spot. The only issue I had was when paying the bill, this is a pet peeve of mine and doesn't reflect the food. I find it very disrespectful to charge your patrons a service charge to take credit cards, and 4 percent on top of it. If you're up in wahiawa stop by and enjoy the food but maybe bring cash.

All while waiting for my to go order. Korean employee was very friendly and took the time to listen carefully to order. When it was ready, she opened the sliding window. I'm in awe how hefty the to go plate was inside durable plastic bag plus tasty meat jun, napkin, chopsticks. I said, "Kamhasamnida!" Very grateful vibe. Beef thinly sliced, very tender, goes well with egg and flour mixture. Half a bed of white rice, topped with deliciousness from meat jun, jap chae was a thinner variation of long rice, pickled watercress plus bean sprouts, and homemade kim chee. Shared with son at home. Rice with meat jun retained heat from beginning till end of my meal. Veggies remained chilled. Worth considering a visit now and in the future.

Wahiawa hides some of the best "home style" Korean, mom and pop, takeout spots…read more This is one of those gems. Weighty plates, a couple of noodle and soups at reasonable prices with most items $14.50 - $15.50. Important: Vinegar is a part of all soy marinades (traditional alternative marinade of South Korea). This seasons the BBQ chicken, bulgogi, and the shoyu potatoes. it is very different from the usual "four choicee" local Korean spots for its lack of sweetness. It is not for everyone. The spicy pork is very well made. Spicy for sure. Great chili taste sweetened by carrots and onions mixed in the thick stir fry. Oily but delish. Very flavorful and meaty, meat jun. Equally flavorful, black pepper forward jap chae. Solid banchan with only mildly fermented kim chee. Super cute, friendly service from the moms. Go and you'll understand. Lots of free street parking. Authentically different and on the list of places to revisit while in Wahiawa.

You can taste the authentic flavors, the perfect amount of spice, the service was top tier and so friendly. The server told me the sausage was really good made by her aunty and she was right, it was my favorite part of the meal. The sauce it came with gave it a good kick, overall with a savory flavor that made me want to eat the entire thing then and there. This was just for me and I barely ate half, so the portion size was perfect for two meals. If you're in Wahiawa and want some Thai food, you NEED to stop here for a bite, they take phone orders and dine in. During my visit plenty of people picked up and just one other group dined in. Either way, this place is great. Let me know how it goes for you!

FURIKAKE GARLIC CHICKEN: Because reviews mention how salty it can be, I asked for the sauce on the…read moreside. They kindly accommodated. The intuitive young man even asked if I'd still like the green onion and furikake. To clarify, without the sauce, the chicken pieces are lightly seasoned or perhaps not seasoned at all. Just how we need our sodium level to be. The oil they use is super clean, so the chicken tasted delicious. Clean oil is a trademark of excellence. The only caveat about the chicken in our portion was that it wasn't mounded as high as in the photos. Maybe it's an optical illusion? Also, our portion was breast meat which made for a mildly dry and dense texture. As for the sauce, to us, it was too gingery more than it was salty as this was the predominant flavor which explains why some reviews mention the absence of garlic flavor. Other reviews mention sogginess, so before driving 5 minutes home, I popped open the take-out lid for ventilation and it arrived fresh, crunchy and still warm. SERVICE: The kind young man working the front is beyond excellent! The efficient kitchen staff work really fast. My plate was ready in about maybe 10 minutes...no more than 15. ATMOSPHERE: Because the square footage is small with only two tables and little room for waiting, they'll give you a buzzer for when your food is ready. The restaurant is well kept and clean which demonstrates their commitment to quality and care. PARKING: There's small lot out front which can feel cramped, but stalls turn over pretty quickly. OVERALL: If we go off diet again, this definitely would be a good spot we'd return to for a high quality plate lunch.

While waiting to get my tint done in Wahiawa, I started to get hungry. I started to walk around and…read morecame across this place which had a handful of customers already seated and eating. I sat down on one of the 9 tables and looked over the menu and bam my eyes became fixated on the beef curry combo. I thought the beef was going to be thinly sliced but to my surprise it was chunks of tender beef. The curry was on the sweeter side which I actually prefer so it was a 10 out of 10 for me. The Ramen noodles has a nice chew to it. The slice of pork was on the thicker side but it tasted a little salty which may have affected the broth as it was neither a hit or miss but right in the middle. Needless to say I ate all the noodles and left most of the broth. I woild give it 7 out of 10. The pan fried gyoza was good. The wrapping had a nice texture and chew stuffed with pork, onion, chives ginger and something else but it tasted good. 9 out of 10. Service was really good. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was given a menu and water. Never had to ask for a refill on water. 10 out of 10 for service. If I find myself around here again, I won't hesitate to come back as I'm full and for the most part that's a good full.

I don't know how their other location in kapolei is, but the restaurant was very clean, especially when considering they were open during the August 2026 storm.

4 stars for Mililani Restaurant!…read more The food was cooked really well, but everything needed salt, so the flavors never got to shine the way they could have. Which is honestly a bummer because if they had seasoned Bill's Fish & Chips... dude... it would've easily been the best we've ever had! The other day, my family stopped by Mililani Restaurant after my son recommend the fish & chips. Since I'm a sucker for variety - and I hadn't eaten here in about 20 years - I also ordered the Mini Fried Saimin and Mini Korean Chicken. I love seeing each restaurant's take on these local favorites. Bill's Fish & Chips: WOW. The full order is HUGE! You get three giant pieces of cod over a mountain of shoestring fries. The fish was cooked beautifully - super crispy on the outside while staying moist and flaky inside. But oh Lord... it needed salt! The fries had a great crisp too, although they did have that darker, old-oil flavor that was a little hard to ignore. Since I'm a foodie who likes to come prepared, I happened to have lemon wedges with me lol!... and man, did that take the fish to another level. Hey, don't judge! (I'm pretty sure my family was embarrassed... but ask me if I care. Hahaha! Jk... kinda.) We all agreed that if they had simply salted the fish right out of the fryer, this would've easily been a 5 star dish. Mini Fried Saimin: Can we talk about that portion size for a mini?! Super generous! Unfortunately, this one also needed more seasoning, and the oil flavor came thru more than the other ingredients. I know it's fried, so some oil flavor is expected, but it kinda overpowered everything else. A little more shoyu would've gone a long way. Since fried saimin is usually one of my favorite things to order (local girl at heart!), I'd give this one about 3 stars. Mini Korean Chicken: The sauce was delicious and reminded me of Sugoi's Garlic Chicken. The only downside was that the chicken itself wasn't hot. It tasted like it may have been cooked earlier and then portioned out for my plate. The service was friendly, helpful with recommendations, and they packed everything securely. Our order was accurate, and the prices felt fair for the amount of food you get. They definitely have a great variety for a neighborhood plate lunch spot. Would we make the drive all the way from Ewa Beach just for this? Probably not. But if we're already in the area, we'd absolutely stop by again. One last heads up... if you're planning to dine in, be prepared to leave smelling like the fryer. The ventilation could definitely use some help.. we all went straight to the shower when we got home!

We arrived when the restaurant was half filled, and we left at full capacity. Selected original broth, lamb, beef short ribs, bok choy, kabocha, three different mushrooms: wood ear, enoki, and beech. Ingredients tasted fresh. Lamb complemented flavors of original broth. Unfortunately, beef short ribs, changed the taste, and color of original broth. Employee only asked if we would like extra meats. We were not offered any broth and water refills, or anything else. Not one employee removed our empty plates. When we were done, we're not given a check or check(s). We waited patiently at the register to pay for our meals. Can't stand people peeping in while walking past the entire restaurant. Best to open the door and look inside if there's open seating. Free parking located in the front and back of the restaurant. Smaller location. One restroom available for dine in patrons.
