    It's take out only. So where do you eat? Across the street at the softball field. In the back of your Tacoma pick up. What could be better....

    Food was good. We got 3 bowls, chicken, curry & loco moco. Very filling and came with drinks too.

    Itchy butt has been around for a long time. The staff is friendly and the food is good! I love the combination of kewpie mayo and chicken. The fried cheese sticks are a must try too! They are limited on parking stalls so if anything, there's street parking on the side. It's not a sit down and eat area, but a great quick grab n go. You can order ahead by phone too! If you're on Keeaumoku looking for somewhere to eat, stop by Itchy Butt. Perfect for lunch!

    4/16/20 Fried chicken bowl with a can of drink $8.50.

    I've been coming to Itchy Butt since their fried chicken bowl was $6 which includes a can drink! That was a good deal then and it drew many to come for the freshly fried chicken morsels with sriracha/ mayo sauce drizzled on top. Over the years it has increased and it's now about $15. They even sells other bowls up to $17: pork katsu/chicken curry, chicken curry, bulgogi, spicy pork, garlic chicken, rice (with spam & egg), loco moco, and KFC (Korean Fried chicken) bowl with a sweet/tangy sauce. It's bright red but not hot! Now they offer a 8 piece mandoo and they even sell half/whole fried chicken too. It would be best to call ahead and put in a pre-order. The only issue is the parking! You may find metered parking on Kinau or the stalls in front on the busy Keeaumoku Street. It's located right on the corner of Keeaumoku and Kinau St near Keeaumoku Seafood. My favorite is the fried chicken bowl. The garlic chicken and the Korean fried chicken were pretty good too. KFC one reminded me of Ireh's chicken when they were at McCully Shopping Center. It was all red but it wasn't spicy but on a sweet side. I asked for the KFC sauce for my Fried chicken bowl for additional cost instead of sriracha /mayo sauce and it can be on the side. If you craving for chicken, try their bowls!

    We always come here to get our Korean fried chicken fix. This is pretty unassuming and hole in the wall, but the best fried chicken. Make sure you order it not too early because you want to enjoy this fresh and hot and not have the chicken sitting around for too long for it to become soggy. The biggest mistake for me was ordering ahead of time through DoorDash. I didn't realize that they charged extra fees. I would recommend to just call ahead of time to order over the phone for pick up and pay there. We normally get the whole chicken because we come for the straight meat rather than the rice and bowls. Our two favorite flavors are they Korean and the garlic or the spicy. One is more of a wet based red sauce and the other one is dry fried. Simple,but good food and worth the higher price.

    If you like getting your flavor buds tossed smack on some of this chicken. If you're not into delicious pleasures for your mouth hole keep walking. The price is right! The folks are working hard and putting out solid birds. Don't sleep on ITCHY BUTT!

    If you're craving delicious Korean-style fried chicken in Honolulu, Itchy Butt hits the spot -- but there's one big tip before you order: skip Uber Eats and come in person. The Uber Eats prices are noticeably higher than what you'll pay at the counter, and it really adds up if you're ordering for more than one person. The chicken here is crisp, juicy, and packed with flavor. I went with the classic fried chicken, and the batter had a perfect crunch while the meat stayed tender. Portions are generous, and the sides (like the pickled radish) balance the richness nicely. The small shop has a casual, no-frills vibe, and service is fast and friendly. Parking can be tricky depending on the time of day, but grabbing takeout directly is well worth the effort. Do yourself a favor: save money, avoid delivery markups, and enjoy this chicken right from the source.

    Drove by and saw a huge line so figured this is a place that I would like to try. It's takeout only and the parking isn't the best. The guy at the window isn't the friendliest, but the chicken is good. Definitely not the best I've ever had, but it was good. We ordered the half order of the garlic chicken. We definitely wanted to try two flavors, but the only option was to order the whole chicken and that was just way too much for us. When you order the half it truly is half a chicken so there are some pieces that are not as big and didn't have much meat. It's not like it's just thighs and drumsticks. The garlic chicken was flavorful and wasn't too greasy. I would suggest calling in the order since there's really no place to wait and they cook it fresh so there's a bit of a wait.

    Who has an itchy butt? If that's you, keep reading. LOL! No but seriously, you guys need to check this place out when in Oahu! Keep in mind, their business is located on a corner street with not the best parking lot. I suggest street parking and enjoy a walk. Itchy Butt is an ordering window. Their menu is pretty straight forward. We ordered the Bulgogi Rice Bowl and the 1/2 Shoyu Chicken Wings. OMG the wings are HUGE! SO MUCH FLAVOR! They marinade was delicious! Sweet, savory and addicting!!! Same goes for the Bulgogi Rice Bowl! It was a little spicy but the sweetness of the meat balanced it out. I def recommend checking this place out when in Oahu! It's a great spot for that quick bite to eat!

    Delicious all inclusive meal. Half of a fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, crispy white radish and Hawaiian Sun Juice. Awesome deal. All elements very tasty. Come for the name, come back again for the Delish Food. Just don't pay attention o the grumpy workers. I suspect they are over worked. Or just tired from hand cutting so many chickens.

    Best fried chicken ive had in years! Spicy flavor was the boooommmb. Here on vacation and will have to visit again for sure.

    Whole chicken meal
    Ann C.

    Take-out only, order ahead via phone or from the window. Service is curt but fast. They give you an accurate wait time over the phone. Parking is street and not in the best area so don't take too long! The chicken was OK. It was clearly hot/fresh which was great. The garlic sauce was very good. The shoyu was way salty. The chicken itself was kind of bland/flavorless and not as juicy. Pieces were big and generous. We got the "whole" chicken for 2 people and it was way too much food - better for 3-4 people for sure. Would go for the half next time and maybe add a side instead. Wish they gave a little more pickled daikon to go with a whole chicken. I think I like Good Chicken more, but this is a not bad option since it's in a more accessible location than Waikiki (since the Good Chicken Kakaako location has been closed).

    Garlic Chicken Bowl
    Leanna E.

    This is a whole in the wall in Honolulu but very delicious food! They have good portion sizes and the chicken pieces are big! I ordered the Garlic Chicken Bowl + drink combo and I couldn't finish it myself! Definitely shareable between two people! Be aware that there is no place to sit and you order from a window to go. 10/10 recommend!

    Right next to H-Mart is Seoul Cook in Kaka'ako. I was starving after taking two back-to-back…read moreworkout classes nearby and my friend recommended we get food here and I'm so glad we did. First off, all the complimentary banchan (Korean side dishes). From the classic kimchi, fishcake, cucumber kimchi, and radish. And if you're dining in, just ask and you can get refills of whatever you want more of. If you're doing take out, they still give you all of the banchan!v We did dine-in but take out / online orders seemed popular. But I loved dining in because of the Ajumma here! She was so sweet and funny, and even made the perfect bite (radish kimchi on top of the meat jun, so the acid offsets the oily fried jun) and fed it to my boyfriend LOL. We got a ton of food! The seafood soondabu soup, seafood korean pancake, seafood bibimbap, meat jun, and zucchini jun. We had a lot of leftovers that we took home. The food was good but it's really the service and love that makes this a 5-star experience.

The tofu was silky soft and fresh, soaking up all the flavor from the broth. The lunch set is a great value--you get soondubu bubbling hot, rice, and banchan that were all solid and well-seasoned. Portions were filling without being heavy, which makes it an ideal lunch option. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast even during lunch hours. This is definitely one of those places you crave when you want something warm, satisfying, and comforting. I'll absolutely be back for this again.

    Sorry, but this place feels like a tourist trap. They're clearly benefiting from being in a prime…read morelocation with very few Korean BBQ options nearby. The premium AYCE option is around $60 per person, which would be reasonable if the quality matched the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't. We're from the Bay Area and have been to countless Korean BBQ restaurants with significantly better meat quality for the same price or less. To make matters worse, even at the highest-priced AYCE tier, fountain drinks aren't included. What really left a bad impression was the automatic 20% gratuity. Our group consisted of two separate parties of three people each. We were seated together at one large table with two grills, but we had separate bills, ordered different AYCE meats option, didn't share food, and made that CLEAR before ordering. The menu states that automatic gratuity applies to parties of five or more, yet we were still charged because we happened to sit together. Had we known this was their policy, we would have chosen another restaurant or sat at different areas of the restaurant. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because our servers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions about the menu and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Unfortunately, when we brought the gratuity issue to the manager, he insisted we were one large party despite us being separate parties with separate orders and separate checks. At the end of the day, the only difference was that we happened to be sitting at the same table. Overall, the service from the staff was great, but the overpriced food, disappointing meat quality, and questionable gratuity policy make it hard for me to recommend this place.
