    Smokey ham kimbap
    Ada H.

    Its rare for me to end up speechless while eating food, but I was left in awe with how delicious the kimbaps from here are. Make sure you order ahead of time because when I called in right when she opened at 8 AM, she told me it would take 30 minutes. The lady inside is so sweet and you can tell she prides herself in her delicious food. The kimbap is made with love and fresh for each order hence the long wait. I tried the smokey ham, shrimp tempura and tuna mayo. All the kimbaps had delicious radish, green veggies and carrots. The rice to filling ratio was insane! My favorite is the tuna mayo because how creamy and flavorful it is. I am excited for next trip back so I can grab more tuna kimbap from here!

    Such a cute little spot for fresh kimbap. Everything is hand-rolled, made to order, and you can really taste the care that goes into it. I ordered the gobo kimbap, smoky ham, and spicy tuna, all were delicious, but the spicy tuna was actually SPICY. And that's coming from someone who can tolerate heat, so just be prepared if you order it! Next time I'll try the regular tuna kimbap. The space is tiny, the parking lot is small and inside can probably only hold about three people waiting at a time, and even that feels tight. The sweet old woman runs the shop by herself, so definitely give her some grace. I recommend calling ahead and picking up your order to avoid a bit of a wait. I've been craving this place since my first visit and plan to come back soon.

    How have I missed this place?

    I've had this place bookmarked for months after reading Rod's and Daniel's reviews but only realized it's literally on my way to the dog groomers this morning when I was trying to find my way back to pick up Mimi. Neatly tucked into a corner with parking fronting this little shop of wonders. If there's two customers it will be crowded. I was in a hurry so I just took two of the premade shrimp tempura kimbap rolls, If I hadn't already eaten that bahn mi mini baguette and eggs Benedict from F & G I would have bought a musubi and a package of pot stickers. Both looked delicious. The owner who was also the cashier was delightful, I would come back just because of her kindness. She packed my purchase in a bag along with chopsticks and napkins. I'll be back next time I'm making the trip to the groomers. I really want another roll, some potstickers and an açaí bowl. Yummo!

    On one federal holiday, I wanted to try a new business for lunch, and I found Kimbap Plus on Yelp. I really love kimbap as it is one of the tastes of my high school years, when one of my closest friends would share her kimbap lunch with me. Another reason why multiculturalism is so important. Kimbap Plus is a small venue and is perhaps astounding in its scale with how much fits in their space, but they do it! (Talk about a hole-in-the-wall!) The woman working here is welcoming and friendly. She took my order right after I walked in and made my kimbap fresh while I waited inside. There are also grab-and-go items in case you're in a rush. Although space is limited here, there is still a place for customers to sit. The kimbap fillings are all good. A single portion was more filling than I anticipated and perhaps enough for a meal. I ordered two portions due to hunger.

    Craving Kimbap and it was worth the drive from Ewa Beach! Called in our order and it was ready by the time we arrived. Parking can be a little tough, so I was lucky to get dropped off. This small, hole-in-the-wall spot delivers big on service, value, and flavor! The ajumma was so warm and friendly, and even slipped me a little extra treat. Support this amazing small business -- I'll definitely be back!

    I haven't even tried the food yet but I'm here and you can tell this place is great. First off the cook I'm pretty sure is the owner. She does everything, makes the food, takes the order, and does the payment. In Honolulu where EVERYTHING is overpriced, this place is fair. Hole in the wall vibes is best.

    Have been intrigued by their sign while driving by, but never made it in before 3pm until today. Called in ahead to see if I could still get some, and Auntie was so nice and let me phone order 15min before closing. Spicy tuna gimbap was absolutely fire, spicy and packed, with great variety of textures, PLUS made fresh. That fresh gimbap plus drink was $9 Absolutely will be back to get more!

    Got introduced to this place through social media thanks to Melissa Chang. KimBap Plus definitely makes one of the best Kimbap on this island, or dare I say the planet??? But it's not the only thing she makes. She also makes amazing smoothies and açai bowls. This place is very tiny. Maybe four people can fit in at once so it's best to call ahead and order before you go down. Also parking can be difficult, but if you're in the mood for some Kimbap, Kimbap Plus is a must try.

    I love kimbap. Kimbap Plus is the place to find fresh, well-made kimbap. It is located on Keeaumoku in a parking lot behind Lobster King. You'll find a cute, small box planted in the parking lot operated by one very nice lady who works alone because there isn't room for anyone else! She has been so busy since she started her business in January 2025. She was an office worker who is now following her passion. When I came in all the trays were empty and she was busy filling an order of 15 rolls. If you plan to order a lot, call in your order (give her a break so she doesn't feel so hurried). I ordered three rolls: gobo, shrimp, and smoky ham ($7.99 each). My rolls were made to order. I didn't mind waiting, it wasn't very long. Plus, there's free parking and two chairs. Each roll was just perfect, brushed with sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I think my favorites were the shrimp and smokey ham. I was too chicken to try the fire fishcake or fire tuna. Maybe next time.

    Wow, Sunny the owner &chef is so super sweet! It was my husband's birthday so we mentioned all the food we ordered was for his celebration. So she added 2 extra mandoo and 3 drinks for free. The bibinbop and kimbop were delicious. This was a delightful hole in the wall that has great take out!

    We couldn't decide what to get and ordered almost one of every type of Kimbap. They were all good and we can't wait to go back. It's a hole in the wall type of place so no restrooms and there's a few chairs you can sit on to wait for your food and I wouldn't recommend planning to eat there. There's one person working there so order ahead. She's really nice and is a hard worker but you may be waiting a while if there are orders ahead of you.

    Found this on our way to our tour, and so happy to have! It's sooo charming and tiny in there, there was one lady working very hard, she was also very friendly You can tell the love that's put into each item.

    Gobo kimbap was EXCELLENT
    Chas S.

    I do not use superlatives ever so it means a lot for me to say that this is THE best kimbap I have ever eaten hands down! Fresh, every ingredient prepped well enough to stand on its own, soooo outrageously delicious. I had the one filled with gobo (amazing) but can't wait to go back to try more. It's a one or two person operation so be patient and you'll be rewarded with some excellent food. Thanks Rod U for the tip off to this spot.

    This fresh food shop in Oahu is absolutely fantastic and has been one of the highlights of my trip!…read moreThe customer service is truly exceptional. The wonderful Hawaiian ladies who run the shop are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Their aloha spirit shines through in every interaction, and they make you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. The smoothies are some of the freshest and most authentic I've ever tasted. Everything tastes natural, wholesome, and made with high-quality organic ingredients. My favorites are the guava and strawberry smoothies, which are bursting with fresh fruit flavor and perfectly refreshing without tasting overly sweet or artificial. The biggest compliment I can give is that during my one-week vacation in Hawaii, I've already come back three times! That's how good this place is. When you find food this fresh, service this friendly, and an atmosphere this welcoming, you can't help but keep coming back. If you're looking for authentic, healthy, delicious food and drinks in Oahu, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is an absolute gem and deserves every one of its five stars. Highly recommend!

    Located on South Beretania next to Dew Drop Inn. There's a small parking lot with several stalls,…read morethough I would suggest coming here with someone, so that they can circle around while you run inside and order. Lots of fresh fruit when you first walk in, with a digital menu to look at, along with suggestions of people's favorite combinations. Also a section of crack seed goodies as well. There was 1 person working, so it took a little bit of time for her to work through the orders, to then take new orders. Patience is key. And there's not a lot of space to wait, when it gets busy, which may be why there's a bench directly outside. Got the strawberry guava smoothie, though it seems as if they threw the entire guava plus the seeds inside, as it was the crunchiest smoothie I've ever had. I would've much preferred that they omitted the seeds or strained them out prior to blending. Also would've liked a more thicker smoothie, as it liquified and separated rather quickly on the drive home. The honey kumquat lemon tea on the other hand was delicious. I had asked for lemon tea (no honey, no kumquat), and ended up with this. Not mad about this mishap, as it was rather refreshing and something I never knew I needed.

    I think I may have found my new forever spot…read more This was my first visit, and when I arrived the ordering area was at capacity, so I was standing outside. I noticed a QR code on the door for online ordering, scanned it, grabbed an outdoor table and figured I'd give that a try. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich, the Apple Pecan Salad with balsamic dressing, and a large cold brew. I paid online and sat outside for maybe 15-20 minutes. I never did figure out whether I was supposed to get a notification that my order was ready, so eventually I just went inside to check. Sure enough, it was ready. Easy enough, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind. Then I got home and opened everything, and THAT is when I became really impressed. I had included a note with my order that I planned to eat the salad the following day and asked that the wet ingredients be kept separate. They absolutely understood the assignment. Everything was packaged so thoughtfully. The Apple Pecan Salad was beautiful, incredibly fresh and substantial, with the ingredients carefully separated so it would keep. It wasn't some obligatory pile of greens tossed into a container. You could actually see the care that went into making it. The Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich was equally good. Fresh, generously filled and absolutely delicious. I ate half the sandwich and some of the salad and was completely satisfied. Between the two, I can easily get four meals out of what I ordered, which makes the value even better. And the cold brew? Wowzer. Robust and delicious! I think what impressed me most was simply the level of care. A sandwich and a salad aren't complicated foods, but doing simple food really well takes effort. Fresh produce, good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, paying attention to a customer's request, and putting out food that looks every bit as good as it tastes. I felt that in this order. I actually tipped 15% when I ordered because I was thinking, okay, this is basically grab-and-go. After I got home and ate the food, I wished I'd tipped 20%. It genuinely felt good spending my money here. This was visit number one, and they've already set the benchmark. I really hope they stay exactly like this, because what a find. I will absolutely be back.

    Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.

They will do takeout on the dessert, however it does not travel well. The ice cream melts, the frozen coconut cream thing melts and it becomes a big mess. They have an app and a loyalty program - use it and you can get some free stuff. The timing in the app isn't always right because sometimes it says ready in 20 minutes but it's in 5 and sometimes it's in like 30. I don't think they adjust the timing to reflect how busy they are inside; I wish they did. Small spot to sit down and eat there if you want and some outdoor tables. However the outdoor tables are considered takeout, so if you order desserts, it won't come on the plates, it will be boxed, and sometimes a mess when the ice cream parts melt and make the paper soggy. No bathrooms inside. They are friendly enough but they often feel like they don't really want to be there but they're cordial enough. I will keep coming back for the dessert anyway! They say they close at 9pm but they don't. The told me 8:45pm and if you come at 8:55pm they're basically shut down. Not a fan of this because if you really close at 8:45pm, then change your hours. Otherwise actually stay open til 9pm, which does mean workers have to stay later. In any case, I'm not a fan when there's this mismatch. On the other hand. The Alley says they're open til 9pm, and if you're at the door at 9pm, they'll let you in.
