    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....

    Guys, I'm telling you right now don't judge a book bites. Cover the chicken wings. The soy garlic are amazing. It's a little bit out of the way, but worth it.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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).

    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!

    This is a must visit if you love fried chicken!!!!! I swear Hawaii has some of the best fried chicken I've ever had!!!! I ordered the garlic fried chicken bowl and damn it's the best garlic fried chicken I've ever had!! The fried chicken is golden crisp and juicy!!! It's a small little restaurant on the corner of the street with minimal parking spaces so I parked on the street by the park. It's a small little window where you order from and food took about 10 mins to come out and also there isn't any seating, it's all for take out! This is another hidden food gem in Hawaii!!!!!!!!

Walking in, it was dark, cozy, smelling delicious and it was Full House. We were seated quickly with servers that were friendly & fast.

Their Kimchee soup is amazing too, I highly recommend getting that! Japchae was yummy but not a standout. You're going to spend about $50 a head here. I'll be back!

We ordered a spicy squid with kimbab, chive jeon, and an extra bowl of rice to share. The spicy squid was not spicy, but had a smokey depth. I drenched the kimbab in that sauce and it was easily the best thing I tried here. The chive jeon was extra crispy and packed with veggies.

I really enjoy the Korean comfort foods! 4 stars for the food, soups, and ban chan, 5 stars if the service was great. Typical service you will get at a Korean spot but no complaints. Just gotta be patient for ban chan refills or if you need anything else, I don't expect much just happy that I get to have my Korean food. During this recent Saturday visit, I decided to go here for our late lunch, after hiking Koko Head Trail & Makapuu. It was about 4:30 pm, we were the only ones there, but it filled up pretty quick an and they do have many take out and Uber/Door Dash orders. My favorites here are the combo set, choice of soondubu (combination, kim chee, spam, beef, sausage, clam,) & either meat jun, fried mandoo, bulgogi, yellow corvina, seafood jun, or BBQ chicken. The combo use to be $20.55 my first time but now went up to $23.55, hence the increase, it is still a great deal, this meal comes with rice and 5 different ban chan. This combo was more than enough for the both of us. My favorite is the spam soondubu ( yes. who picks Spam right?! hehe) & the seafood Jun. Although it so hard to decide since all the choices are good, I will have to visit again for the other selection. The other half and I cannot eat an entire combo set by ourselves. I love the ban chan, especially the daikon & kim chee, so fresh and crispy! When I first dined here, I was surprise to see they give you a fresh egg to crack in your soondubu soup, I am use to the egg already in there. We always have leftover soondu soup which I take home and add to my Korean ramen the next day, so good! Support this local mom & pop restaurant, So Gong Dong has been around for the longest time just only recently I've discovered it. I will be back for the next Korean soondubu, ban chan fix!

For the meats, the beef brisket and beef toro were the stars, but the beef chuck was slightly tough and dry. They were also out of bulgogi, which was disappointing. The pork had a really strong boar taint smell/taste, which completely turned me off from ordering any of the pork. We had to ask for more meat and banchan refills multiple times. There was usually a pretty noticeable lag before anything came out, which was frustrating for an AYCE spot. They also seemed to be selective about which banchans they would refill. They would bring more of the dishes like kimchi and cucumber, but when we asked for more tuna mac, they wouldn't give us any. It also looked like there were only two people working while there were probably around 10 tables during the Tuesday lunch rush, so I do think they were understaffed. If you're offering AYCE, the refills and service should flow a lot more smoothly. It felt like they were paying more attention the tables that selected a higher tier of AYCE. Not a terrible experience, but definitely not as seamless or enjoyable as I was hoping for.
