I came across this restaurant and I'm so glad I did! The food was fantastic. My partner ordered the kimchi fried rice and I had the meat jun plate. The fried rice had the perfect balance of savory and spicy. The meat jun was thick and had great flavor. So many places serve paper thin meat jun and it was so nice to have meat jun with some substance. The food took a little bit but it's totally worth the wait. The staff is very friendly and parking is plentiful. I highly recommend this spot. Aloha!

The cashier was super friendly and the food was great. Some of the things that we wanted to try wasn't available at the time so that was a bummer. But the food that we did get was great. I really like the kimchee soup. Tons of flavor. Meat jun was great too. You didn't even need the sauce. Can't wait to go back!

Went here twice in one day. Found out if you don't want rice, they will give you extra side option…read more I got mini plates because they give generous amount of food. This time around I ordered fish Jun, meat jun and chicken katsu. Took it home and ate it with rice since we got the extra side. Also got the side order of mandoo. It came with 10 pieces.

Comes with rice and vegetables on the side. Very tasty and u can get it as spicy or not as u like. Lots of shredded beef and glass noodles. Meat juhn, bbq chicken and kalbi are always good. I like a dry chicken, so I ask for mine to be extra well done/slightly charred...and they always comply. I definitely recommend!

Fill that tummy…read more It's a local place close to the house and I come here often. Like clockwork, I come here to pickup food after flying in from the mainland. Sorry zippy. You can never go wrong with Kalbi and BBQ chicken. And the sides are sides. Overall five stars. The service is quick and getting that fresh BBQ Kalbi is worth the wait. And the wait isn't too long no matter how many people order in front of you. Prices seem to keep going up but it's inline with all the other restaurants. Now excuse me, time to grind.

In the area and decided to try Gina's out for the first time. Similar to many Korean bbq…read morerestaurants, they have many options from bbq chicken, meatjun, and katsu to name a few popular dishes. They also do cater with multiple pan sizes. It was about 4 pm and the afterwork/before dinner rush was in full effect! Orders after orders. We decided to go with their fried chicken plate; Gina's special and a spicy bbq chicken. Haven't had a spicy bbq chicken so i was excited to give it a try. As we waited, we watched many others behind us get their choice of sides and orders out and was wondering if they missed our order. Unfortunately, our order was not printed. The tall gentlemen helping out in the back immediately apologized and put our order first in line and within a few minutes, we got our order. He then apologized again and loaded our plates. The mini looked like a large and the regular plate looked XL. They have a lot of side dishes to choose from. Our favorites are the choy sum, bean spouts and cuttlefish. Now for the food, it was AMAZING. The spicy bbq chicken is a must try! Not to spicy but has enough of a kick. You can't even go wrong with their regular bbq chicken. The Gina's special is completely loaded with chicken, beef and kalbi. I also enjoyed their fried chicken and may have to get that as a side as we had way too much rice and vegetables that we had to save some for later. Overall, the food is great! Customer service is excellence and even with the little mishap, I know the food and service makes up for it.

So, I got the combo plate for $24.99. It's a little pricey BUT well worth the price! I Love Korean BBQ for the taste, quality & care they put into their food! Your choice of sides is always placed onto your plate with care, and all of your food is neatly placed onto the plate. It's great how the kalbi and meat Jun was sliced for me. Service- I didn't get the young man name this evening. His customer service was exceptional. As he helped a customer with their order he acknowledged me and said, "I'll be right with you, I'll be with you in a minute." He kept in mind I was there and continued to acknowledge me there.

This review is for Ariah specifically…read more I have five stars because Ariah has gone above and beyond to ensure our experience got salvaged. She was so kind and so understanding. We waited almost ten minutes just to be greeted (I have the photo receipts). We also were doing the "all you can eat" but only got two rounds of food orders in by the one hour mark... We were disappointed, to say the least. When Ariah, the manager came to help us, she was so understanding. She was also very apologetic and helped us IMMENSELY. The ambiance was solely based on the environment Ariah created for us. We went from upset and confused to understanding and willing to wait (patient). Overall, the management had been holding this place up. Ariah specifically.

The short ribs were the standout of the meal. They were flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection so they were tender without being overdone.

Yujin K-BBQ is a cute little takeout spot that is brightly decorated, extremely clean, and has a very welcoming environment. That's always a great sign that even better things are coming. It was so good that we've already visited twice (once on Christmas and again on New Year's Eve), and everything was cooked to perfection. My other half said this was the best spicy pork he has ever had. It's incredibly flavorful and a must-try. I ordered Kalbi on our second visit to satisfy a craving. It was super yummy with just the perfect amount of char. We also absolutely loved the meat jun and fish jun, those will definitely be our go-to orders from now on! The sides change daily, so it's a fun surprise to see what you get. Everything we tried appealed to all our taste buds, not one complain here. You can tell the staff really takes the time to put some love into their cooking. Since everything comes out super fresh, you do have to wait a little bit for your food, but they provide comfortable seats to wait on, and trust me, it is 100% worth the wait. This has officially become our go-to place whenever we are craving Korean food.

Kalbi was tender and had good flavor, Meat Jun, although on the thin side, was also VERY tasty. They don't give the option of choice of sides, rather they give whatever they make for the day, which changes daily. I received a combination of 6 different sides, ama they all tasted fresh and homemade. What was new to me was a potato hash and corn salad, it was ONO! This is going to be my go-to Korean restaurant in Waipahu.

We were given a regular menu and a single sheet with Lunch Combos. Three of us decided upon a two choice lunch combo with different choices. One wanted cold noodles. Our jaws literally dropped in awe as the first plate arrived with vegetable tempura and bbq pork. It was humongous!!! My meat Jun and zucchini was pretty huge as well. The person who ordered kalbi with another choice paid $3+ extra for the kalbi selection. We all remarked how delicious our meals were and we all took left overs home. The servers are friendly, refill your water and don't chase you out after you paid the bill. We hadn't all met together since Covid so we had lots to catch up on. You will need to ask for a key to use the outside restroom. The interior furniture and menus show they've been in use for quite some time. If you don't mind that, the food alone is worth coming for or you could order take out.

Initially when I had walked in to put my name down, I couldn't find the clip board, a handful of Staff just speed walking around with tunnel vision. I may have been up there for almost 5 mins with no acknowledgement until finally the girl the the clip board comes back and gives me the most stankass attitude when I asked if I could write me name down. Mkay girl. Anyway.. It's cranking with sit-in customers and phone orders. Our Server was very sweet regardless of how busy it was. We all got the Lunch Combo that was less than $20 (unless you upgrade to Kalbi) Food came out fairly quick and we did ask for extra Daikon banchan. I believe the Combo runs until 3:30. Inside is very spacious and have booths that can accommodate large parties but restrooms are shared with the rest of the businesses. It's been over 10 years since I've decided to come back b/c the first visit was a bust and although the way i was welcomed was borderline rude, I'd love to pop in again if in the area.
