Hubbers and I like doing KBBQ at home and we always ALWAYS have issues trying to score banchan…read more Sure, H-Mart is the best place for it (as they have endless choices) but it's too much of a trek just for banchan. But I found this spot - so much closer to home. So I chanced it. I came by on a not-so-late Friday afternoon and it was closed. I'm not sure why I wasn't surprised. Eh. Didn't feel like cooking for lunch the next day, and I planned on picking up food from a restaurant along Western and since this was on the way, I thought of making another stop - more out of curiosity, really. And yay, they're open! So it has a lot of names: Zip Banchan (per Yelp), Korean Food Company (per their sign), and JR Catering/Monster Kimbap (per Google.) No matter, I walked in and they had what I needed! And that's what mattered! And plenty of options for banchan. I didn't want to get too much, but I wanted to get most of them! I ended up with a three pack and two more individually packed and portioned sets. So happy of the discovery! It's good to know Indon't have to trek too far for KBBQ sides! Definitely returning when the need comes up again!

Not big on leaving reviews, but wanted to leave one here to give some people a more recent review…read more This place has been here forever, but only tried them for the first time this past holiday to cater my family gathering of 30 people. Food was prepped and ready at the time requested, and was still warm and ready to eat. Packaged well and nothing missing. Usually I get Korean catering from k-town, but it was too inconvenient this time around. I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was, and I was not disappointed by anything. The galbi was a bit pricey, but galbi costs now are ridiculous so not shocking. It was tender and the marinade was solid. The chicken wings though...wow. They really stood out and were some of the best Korean chicken wings I've had. Banchan all solid and good to go. If you need kfood catering, give them a try!

Before finding this on Yelp I never knew this place exists so I definitely need to take time to…read morewrite this review. I found this place because I wanted to find a good place that catered Korean food. I'm not Korean but sometimes wish I was since the food is so good. First things first, if you're reading this and do not know Korean, know that the owner knows limited English. If you go see her, ask for her son, Jason, and she'll give you his phone number to coordinate. Jason was a lifesaver and helped me order everything. He was easy to work with, patient and understanding. I had no issues coordinating with him. Then when it came to the food, I got bulgogi, marinated chicken, kimchi fried rice and kimbap to serve about 35 people for a total of $650 so it came out to just shy of $20/person . As you can see prices are pretty high but its Korean food and the meat is grade A quality, tender and the fat has been trimmed so its somewhat expected. Also even feeding that many people we had quite a bit of left overs. I've eaten it the last two dinners and still enjoy it as much as the first day! The food was prepared on time, well packaged and everything. Oh and they prefer cash for best price. Try them out and you won't be disappointed!

I have been to Hawaii. A friend of mine won a give away by stuffing a ballot box at a grocery…read morestore, and then he gave me the plus one ticket. Was it a trip gotten via ill ways? Back then I did not think of that. And now that I do, I say the breeze of Hawaii would help anyone understand that what he did was a youth Indiscretion, like going for a swim in the cloak of darkness while only wearing a lei. Going to Back Home in Lahaina was not a trip back to the Big Island, I won't say that, but it was a moment of joy inspired heavily by a Hawaiian decor that both bordered on the tragically kitsch and the whimsically fun depending on where you stood or sat. But the true treasure of this Hawaiian micro-isle is their fare-- no doubt about that. After the meal my friend Conrad and I went to the front of the house, where they have the to go section. This is where the kitsch became most circus-y. Although, I did not clip everyhing, I did clip a make your own lei kit, hawaiian stickers, and other things that make the place feel like a tourist trap for Hawaiian hopefuls. For me, the tawdry lessened the impact of the Aloha I heard from the dining room. In sharp contrast, the main dining room had this mural of a whale coming out of deep blue water with Hawaiian florals on the edge of the land that was more transportive to the land where coconuts fall from palm trees and hula skirts are a must for every closet. The main room dining room also had these string lights and sphere paper lamps that made me feel like I was eating at a night market where I could see the stars of a Hawaiian skiy but it was both day time, and there was a roof above me. The food was the situation that needs to be address though, with great respect and admiration because almost every bite was supremely good. My friend Conrad and I first shared a Lahaina Platter- basically their appetizer platter or to be Hawaiian their pupu platter, and please do not go for the easy joke it is not that funny and really kind of base and gross, if the wrong person is making it. The must of the spot, unsurprisingly, is their Lahaina fried chicken. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and kind of like karage chicken but different with the spices and flavors and ocean fronts of Hawaii. I know I did not make sense but I gotta believe that Hawaiian culture made the dish great and Hawaiian culture is partly define by waterfront property. My favorite things from the dish were the Lumpia which are often described as Filipino eggrolls. The pork meat was flavorful, the paper wrapping was on point, like wonderfully thin yet still structurally strong, not crispy, more firm with crisp. The Cinderella story of the day was the spam musubi. The saltiness of the seaweed was present but not in an overblown way, the sweetness of their teriyaki sauce carried savory notes that uplifted the sweet notes, in a wonderful way, their sticky rice was textbook fluffy and fabulous. Overall, I would nitpick flaws. And for this review I do not feel like finding the wrong cracks on a whole coconut skin. My main dish was their bbq grilled chicken plate. I could not finish everything at the restaurant. I had cold left overs at home and they hit the spot in this way that really earned my respect, because cold left overs still holding strong that is like seeing a shooting star while you enoy Mai Tais in a white beach---- living the improbable dream. What was best out of the bunch was their Lahaina chicken. And again, even though the fried goodness had withdrawn, the flavor and textured that remained was still, in a way, intact and in some ways optimal. I just shivered admitting that. I was happy with the food overall, and want to communicate that it was a strong showing for a place that sits within a strip mall. Do not just a shore by the lack of its crashing wave sounds. I also love the name of this place. Like I went back to Lahaina, has personality. Like it is a name that drips from the tongue even though it is long. Pluis, saying multiple times in a conversation makes the place feel important. Conrad had some cheesecake with jello and he loved it. I did not try it, but it was unique and I did not think such a dessert existed. The crust was walnut, I would have thought it would be Macadamia. I definetetly love this place and want to back again soon!

The friendly staff and the amazing interior was so welcoming alongside the well priced drinks with all different games on each TV made this place feel amazing. Once I started off with the spam musubi, I was surprised by how it was bland and un flavorful it was. Even though it had sauce on top it tasted like I just had rice with meat as it was lacking the seasoning. Our entrees arrived, which looked phenomenal, but was then again hit with blandness even though it was smothered in sauce. The burger was bland and the Mac salad tasted like mush. Maybe some changes to the sauce and adding more seasoning may help these amazing looking dishes as I wanted to enjoy them but sadly couldn't.
