Our friend recommended this place when we asked him where his favorite spot for kalbi was. He's…read morealso a photographer for restaurant websites, so he always seems to have some good recommendations for us! This is takeout only--there's no dine-in area. It's also more like a caterer, which makes it a great option for parties or larger gatherings. I would definitely come back here for party trays. The beef kalbi is full of flavor and would be my must-order. We tried the Mama Woo Special, which came with BBQ chicken, kalbi, and BBQ beef. The chicken and kalbi were both yummy! The BBQ beef was probably my least favorite, although my husband really liked it. Funny how we have completely different preferences--I like a little more fat, he doesn't. He likes the char, and I'm not as crazy about it. You also get to choose four sides, which makes it hard to decide! After we picked ours, we were told that the fried eggplant is their second most popular side. Since it was our first time, we probably should have asked which sides were the most popular before choosing. Overall, we would definitely come back. The portions are generous enough to share, IMO, and I think this would be a great place to order from for a party or family gathering. They have parking too

Hands down the best Korean BBQ place to get takeout!…read more Our family loves all the flavors of the family packs which come with an assortment of meats and banchans! Perfect for easy dinners that taste amazing and include so much food you'll have enough for lunch the next day! Everything is so flavorful and always prepared to perfection. I've even stopped by just to pickup banchan since all of those are so tasty as well. They also sell combo plates which have a lot of food included as well. Highly recommend calling the order in ahead of time (even hours ahead of around any holiday) for easy pickup. The inside is very small with only a small counter and a couple seats to wait. The parking lot is small but I've always been able to find a spot. Love me some mama woo's!

Was told about this little Korean restaurant in the little mall on the corner of Kona street and…read morePiikoi street. Just before you go the ramp to Ala Moana. It is next to Eggs and Things. Ordered the King Kalbi, which is like the big bone kaibi and comes already cut up on a cast-iron dish. Fried Mundo. Was not deep fried but nicely fried. Not too crispy. The sauce that came with it was very tasty. Looks spicy but it was not. Mostly veggies. Loved the pre meal side dishes and came with rice. Prices seam reasonable. The dinning room is small and I can see how this place fills up during lunch and dinner time Tables are set up for parties of four. Restrooms and dinning room are clean. Parking is in front and you have to compete with the other restaurant. Pros: Price, clean, good taste and alot of parking. Cons: services needs help. Only had one lady. Felt sorry for her and gave her a nice tip for working so hard. Wish the mundo was a little more crispy on the bottom. Wish they had more photos of dishes. My Korean is not very good and some unknown dishes. Would I go back? Yes, first time there. Was give places a return business to try other dishes.

We had a wonderful meal and experience at Cho Dang last night…read more There were plenty of free parking in the evening; day time maybe a little bit more of a challenge because of Eggs n Things next door. The three of us have stone pot beef bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables), seafood soondubu (soft tofu soup), yugaejang (spicy shredded beef soup), steamed egg and zucchini jun (pancake). The soups were piping hot and delicious, and the rice in the bibimbap was nice and crispy. The zucchini in the jun is still crunchy and not overcooked; the steamed egg is so soft, fluffy and delicious. Don't sleep on the four free banchans (side dishes), they're very good as well. The lady server was friendly and efficient, even though she was the only one for the entire place; and she also handled all the many takeouts. We've been coming here for a number of years, and have always love it. The prices have gone up a little, but I think it is still very reasonable.

But we were so disappointed with the quality of the food we couldn't even finish everything. So I got 2 lunch orders: rice with char siu and roast pork, and rice with roast duck and chicken. I also ordered half pound of beef trip to try. So this way we got to sample everything. At the end the only thing we enjoyed was the roast pork. The skin was crispy and meat had good flavor. The duck had too much fat. There was not much meat left after getting rid of the bones and the fat. The chicken was quite mushy. The texture just was not right probably because it wasn't too fresh? The char siu was probably one of the worst I have even had. It had so much tendon that there was not a single piece that we could even chew through it. And the beef tripe was soooooo salty. It was just very disappointing. It was relatively cheap though compared to other restaurants and they gave us a very big portion but I don't think I will go back given that there are places that sell better roast duck and char siu.

A Reliable Korean BBQ Favorite…read more A good, reliable Korean BBQ spot and one of the remaining restaurants on the island from the Kim Chee chain. I absolutely love their BBQ chicken and big bone kalbi. The portions are generous, so come hungry. I also prefer eating there because you get the seaweed soup along with refillable cabbage and radish kim chee. Those little extras make the meal even better. Big portions, good BBQ, and plenty of kim chee. Sometimes reliable is exactly what you're craving.

If you're looking for authentic Korean cuisine at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Yakiniku…read moreKorea House at 2494 S. Beretania Street in Honolulu. We were impressed by the wide variety of dishes on the menu and decided on the marinated kalbi and bulgogi, accompanied by a wonderful assortment of traditional Korean banchan (side dishes). Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The quality and preparation really gave us the feeling of enjoying a meal in Korea. One thing that stood out was the clientele--about 90% of the customers appeared to be Korean, which, to me, is always a great indication that a restaurant is serving the real thing rather than simply adapting Korean food for tourists. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable considering the quality and portions. Another big plus is the ample parking, which can be a real challenge at many Honolulu restaurants. Overall, Yakiniku Korea House is a casual, authentic, reasonably priced Korean BBQ experience that I would gladly recommend to anyone who enjoys Korean food--or anyone wanting to experience it for the first time.

We got there at about 10:15 and the parking lot had only three cars. I was surprised because it's usually full. We got seated, our menus came a few minutes later. Only one server at that time. She came with two menus for the four of us. Our order was taken as more customers came in. The food didn't take to long to arrive. We ordered Kalbi, Seafood Pancake, Bulgogi, Tofu soup and fried Mando. The banchan at Korean restaurants is a big deal for me. Today's banchan was a variety of six. The potato salad and seaweed was my favorite . As for the entrees the Kalbi had the best taste My first peice was excellent. My second and third were tasty, but a little tough. Tofu soup was spicy even though we ordered mild. The bulgogi had a bland taste and looked like it was steamed and not fried. even though it came out steaming on a hot platter. Overall it was an enjoyable lunch. Enjoy
