    Dinner in Aiea, Hawaii... My friend and I were at a seminar at Aiea Library and she wanted to have dinner afterwards. I saw Ruby S. check in at Kim Chee Restaurant 7 and thought - wow... that's nearby! Let's try it! Located at Westridge Center, Kim Chee 7 was on the ground level, to the right of the Hawaii State Credit Union. The restroom is "under the stairs" and a key is needed for the door. Shared parking was free. I walked in and signed my name on the clipboard at the cashier's station. The place was packed! I saw four parties signed in ahead of us, and two tables were being cleared. That meant that we'd be seated soon. The friendly worker called us in and pointed to the middle table. It was set with menus, cups of iced water, utensils, napkins, and three dishes of banchan. I ordered Mixed Plate Special A because it had some of everything: BBQ chicken, meat jun, BBQ beef, and fried mandoo. My plate came with a bowl of white rice and a bowl of seaweed soup. Everything tasted great! I wasn't able to finish since the portion was very generous! My friend ordered a mini chicken katsu, but the portion was massive. I knew she wouldn't be able to eat everything! We both got takeout containers for our leftovers and will probably have meals for a couple of days!

    Weeknight family dinner. Open the door, write your name and number of guests in your party on sign in sheet at front counter, wait outside for your name to be called by the staff. Casual and crowded. Massive portions considering the prices. Sufficient for three meals. Intuitive and superb customer service from the staff. Seaweed soup tasted comforting. Pickled radish was on point. Mochiko Chicken was partially coated in batter and most of the pieces tasted dry. Meat is a little tougher and doesn't adhere to the egg mixture for meat jun. Spicy Ahi Won tasted ok. Pickled seaweed passed the taste test. Bean sprouts and cabbage were not pickled long enough and tasted crunchy. I care more about quality than quantity.

    New menus - not using spellcheck is "hazardous" as well....

    Wow, I'm not exactly sure what's happening with Kimchee 7!! Came by today- They said they can't keep up with orders. Turned us away. They had 2 people sitting outside for takeout. Lately the service has certainly changed for the worse. Hope they figure it out. We liked it here. Again back to our usual 1st choice. We keep trying as I really like their butterfish. Many of the other Kim Chee restaurants have closed as well

    It been a while since we stoped by Kimchee 7 We had a craving for Korean so I got the following that never misses Meatjun and kalbi combo

    My friend and I came here for lunch. He ordered the lunch combo which had a lot of food. I ordered the soft tofu soup. The flavor was light and not overly salty which is my preference. The vegetables included carrots, onions and zucchini. It came with clams, shrimp and beef which I gave to my friend since I don't each those. The only vege options were the vegetable tempura or the tofu and mushroom dish. You could also order the bimbibap and just remove the meat if you're not super strict. The restaurant was busy, especially for take out orders. Value is pretty good for the combo lunch special. The area is undergoing construction so it was a bit hard to find.

    I haven't been here in a few years and was craving some Korean food so did a take out Special Plate A for $23.75 which had mandoo, BBq beef, Meat Jun and BBq chicken with a side of fixed veggies that included watercress, bean sprouts, cabbage and kim chee with rice. The food was really good and plentiful so i can save half for my lunch tomorrow. The mandoo was good, BBq beef was tender, the meat jun had too much batter for my liking but was good and the bbq chicken was good. Don't make the same mistake as me by ordering online though, there was a charge to order online, i paid a $1.19 online platform fee for my one plate. Just call them up instead and order. Best to check their website for the latest menu and prices. While i got take out, the restaurant was packed! every booth taken on a Monday evening, you know the place must be good!

    Lunch Special with Meat Jun and BBQ chicken

    It's been awhile since I last ate ther and Inhad a craving for Korean food. I swear they used to be on the upper levThere's construction happening in the parking lot in front and the stores are covered over so we couldn't find it at first. Luckily someone overheard us talking about Kim Chee 7 and told us where to go. Staff was very friendly and refilled our water and banchan. I got the lunch special which was great. The food was tasty and was a good size portions. The only negative was the limited ban Han (cabbage kin chee, lettuce(?) Kim chee, and pickled daikon. The lunch special came with 2 vegetable sides). Despite being hidden by the construction tarps it was quite busy with a lot of take out orders. Overall good food and service.

    KIM CHEE RESTAURANT 7 was highly recommended by a friend of mine. He mentioned that he and his family enjoy coming here because the food is yummy and the portions are...HUGE! Finally, after months of having many conversations about this restaurant I decided to check it out. One day, I was able to convince my family to come and try it out. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a friendly server. He showed us a table to sit at, and then we were given menus along with cups of water. The server came back not too long after to take our order. After our order went in, the server brought us ban Chan and seaweed soup to snack on. Here is what we ordered: Dinner Combo: 2 choice comes with rice and ban Chan Meat jun and Spicy pork Spicy pork and BBQ beef My husband and I enjoyed everything that came in our combo. It was tasty and the portions were...HUGE! If you are hungry for yummy Korean food with huge portions, go and check out KIM CHEE RESTAURANT 7. You'll thank me for that!

    First timer coming in on a random weekday during lunch hours. They had lunch specials (which is what I opted for). Before you sit, your table is set with banchan: soup, taegu, kimchi, cabbage. I got the lunch plate, it came with meat jun, bbq chicken, and one mandu. My fiancè got a combo plate of teri beef and chicken katsu. Both plates were LOADED! So filling. Fast service and locals know this place is a good spot! (; 100/10

    Kim Chee 7 **** RECOMMENDED **** Food: **** Value: *** Menu: **** Ambiance: ** Service: *** Parking: ***** free in front My mother-in-law, who loves kalbi, said Kim Chee 7 has the best kalbi. When we have family dinners, we will periodically order small trays of their kalbi, meat-jun and chicken katsu. I really like their big bone kalbi, but it's not cheap at $55. Their small bone kalbi at $38 is also good. Our family also likes the meat-jun and chicken katsu, as they are very generous. Like all Kim Chee restaurants, their banchan (sides) are not very good and limited. The seaweed soup is just ok. I consider the Kim Chee restaurants as local style Korean. You will never see Korean nationals speaking Korean in them. They do have a large menu with local favorites though. I would advise you to go early because there is usually a line during the busy times. RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Big Bone Kalbi plate = A+ Small Bone Kalbi = A Meat Jun = A Chicken Katsu = A Yelp: https://m.yelp.com/biz/kimchee-7-restaurant-aiea Website: https://kimcheerestaurant7.com/ YELP: Milton K Sorry! They allow only one 30 second video, the remaining to 7 seconds, and they limit the number of pictures.

    Meat Jun and Kalbi Combo
    Deez J.

    Have always enjoyed my takeouts. Usually get the combos with bbq chicken, Kalbi and meat Jun (fluffy batter). I like the dipping sauce for the meat Jun a lot. My recent order was just side veggies. The portion was very generous. All of the veggies lacked flavor though. It was hardly seasoned. Friend usually picks up the food for us. I can't say anything about customer service. However, spoke to a female on the phone once before, She was patient and pleasant.

    Lunch Combo menu

    Lunch here hit the spot! We dined in and had such a great experience. First of all, the portions are HUGE. I ordered the lunch combo with meat jun and BBQ chicken, and there was so much food. Definitely came home with plenty of leftovers. We also shared the mandoo soup, which is my new favorite! It was comforting and flavorful, and also big enough that we had more to take home for another meal. You definitely get your money's worth here. The banchan and water were consistently refilled, which I always appreciate. The staff was awesome and super friendly. They answered all our questions and even gave us extra to-go sauces for our leftovers. They also offer free self-serve tea, which was a nice bonus. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but they fit a good number of tables inside. It stayed busy the entire time we were there, and by the time we left people were already waiting outside for a table. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great Korean food spot. We'll definitely be back!

    Very popular. Recommend coming earlier for dinner. Portions for plates are HUGE! I enjoyed the fish jun, bulgogi. I thought the chicken katsu was a little overdone but I shouldn't have stuck to Korean food . Meat jun wasn't as good as the bulgogi in my opinion. Kalbi was flavorful but i think I like thinner pieces. The mild Kim chee was too bland, but the others had good flavor. Great service. Bathroom outside around the corner.

    Banchan - radish I think? And kimchi cabbage

    If I could give another 5 stars I would. Excellent food. The meat Jun is out of this world and the sauce they use, it's very tasty.

Walking in, it was dark, cozy, smelling delicious and it was Full House. We were seated quickly with servers that were friendly & fast. We picked the menu option on page 1, $77 per person lunch set menu that includes 4 types of meat, steam eggs, kimchi pancake, different dipping sauces; including bean paste dipping sauce and raw garlic slices and abundant Banchan little appetizer dishes. The meats were fresh and tasty. The spicy cold noodles were refreshing, and all the Banchan little dishes offered lots of varieties and refillable. You know this place is authentic when you have bean paste dipping sauce and raw garlic slices. They are not trying to tailor to westerners. The grill was hot, the meat was sizzling and the food kept coming. We ate as much as we can, and there were so much food, at the end. We were about to explode.

It feels high end. Prices are definitely a little more than some other Korean restaurants but I think it's worth it for the quality of the meat and food as well as the service and inside area. All servers have been so kind and attentive, which I appreciate appreciated. What sets Hangang apart from other Korean restaurants is the quality of their meats. 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. We easily agreed that we need to come back with a few more people, so we can either share the army stew or joxxam dish. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

Camellia's Yakiniku is a really solid go-to spot when you're craving $30 all-you-can-eat yakiniku. The variety of sides is actually one of the highlights. Along with the meats, you get access to tasty options like pickled cabbage, kimchi, seaweed, and other little banchan-style bites. I also love that it comes with unlimited rice, plus extras like seasoned salad, lettuce wraps, soups, and even things like fried chicken and mandoo. The quality of the meat isn't superb, but honestly it's more than fair for the price point and AYCE format. Service is quick and attentive as always, and the staff frequently changes the grill so your meat doesn't burn -- which I always appreciate. It's an easy weekday dinner spot with pretty good ventilation, but like any good yakiniku place, you'll probably still leave smelling like smoky grilled meat... and honestly that's part of the experience lol. The cherry on top is the pineapple ice cream, which is also unlimited and a perfect sweet finish. I'll definitely keep coming back on days when I have a big appetite and want something convenient and satisfying. Just keep in mind that parking is shared with a bunch of other restaurants in the area, though there is an additional lower lot behind the restaurant. And of course -- don't forget to order the short rib kalbi. Always a must.
