    1/10 stars
    Matt H.

    I'd like to try some of the other dishes, but the kimchi pancake was disappointing. It wasn't crispy at all--somehow it was soggy and burnt at the same time. It also lacked flavor completely. I ordered it along with four other dishes from different vendors, and no one ended up eating the pancake or even wanting to try it because it looked unusual. It was a very bright red color, which doesn't seem typical for a kimchi pancake. I would give the pancake 0 stars so I'll give the establishment 2 stars in hopes that some other dishes are better. I will try again and change my rating.

    Sadie's Special - big bone kalbi close-up
    Rod U.

    Sadie's BBQ Inn, IMHO one of the best local Korean eateries, can now be enjoyed again at a reasonable price. For example, the Sadie's Special (big bone kalbi, bbq chicken, met jun, mandoo) is only $28.95 versus $36.95 in Pearl City. Flavors remain the same. The big bone kalbi, well marinated throughout. It is well trimmed and grilled. The BBQ chicken, equally well marinated, cooked so firm on the outside, moist on the inside. No complaints on the meat jun with sweet, MSG laden crack dipping sauce. Always a fave, super filled mandoo. Very flavorful but oily spicy pork. Well made seafood pancake. A twist, choose your own banchan. The kimchee is fresher than most with mild fermentation. All others are lower in salt than most four choice spots making them good foils for the very flavorful proteins. Asian counter service. Kiosk ordering not yet available. One of the best four choice Korean takeout spots even considering the much stiffer competition in the area.

    Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located at Midtown Eats - on the Ground Level of the Park on Keeaumoku, Sadie's BBQ (known for its Korean food) has its second location! Originally from Pearl City, it's nice to support a local business in town. Most Honolulu residents don't like to drive to another zip code, so this Food Hall location is more convenient! It's also clean, new, well-lit, air-conditioned, and has secured restrooms on the mauka end of the Hall. Get the door code from one of the vendors. I ordered the LA Kalbi plate which comes with four banchan. I chose seaweed, cucumber kimchi, choi sum, and broccoli. When I opened my takeout container, I was surprised to see potatoes. I went back to the counter, showed my receipt, and got a side of seaweed... no problem! Thank you! Everything tasted delicious! The kalbi was sliced thinly, so the meat was tender. I appreciated that the bones were cut apart, too! I'm looking forward to returning!

    spicy garlic chicken and bbq chicken plate combo

    We had lunch at Midtown Eats today. My hubby grabbed a plate from Sadie's BBQ. He decided on the two meat combo $21.95. The choices are: meat jun, bbq chicken, spicy garlic chicken and spicy pork). He chose spicy garlic chicken and bbq chicken. The plate comes with white rice and four choices of banchan. You get to choose from: kimchi, cucumber kimchi, mac salad, bean sprouts, spicy bean sprouts, broccoli, choy sum, seaweed, cabbage, fishcake and shoyu potatoes. He went with shoyu potatoes, kimchi and two portions of seaweed. I sampled from his plate and I had no complaints. The spicy garlic chicken was crispy with a sweet glaze to it. It wasn't too spicy. Their portions are on the smaller side. Other Korean bbq plate lunch places that I've been to give more.

    Came to check out Midtown Eats and was glad to see Sadie's BBQ!! Right away we knew we were gonna eat here. We came when they opened so it was at the right time, lunch got busy. We didn't mind the wait but if you're in a rush or time limit for lunch you may want to call ahead of time to pre order. Open concept with tables and chairs everywhere and outside is available too. I was stoked they had the cold noodles and it was REALLY Good and yummy spicy pork! Go check them out!

    Seafood Pancake -$15.99

    I'm so happy that Sadie's opened another restaurant in Midtown Eat Food Hall. The restaurant looks very clean, staffs are very friendly but they should know more about their menu. 1. Combo A with 1 meat - $24.95 I love their Kalbi, it's very flavorful and tender. Their Banchan was pretty good. I picked another protein as BBQ Chicken. It's well made. Perfect match with my Kalbi. 2. Seafood Pancake - $15.99 Delicious!! It's very crunchy and lots of ingredients inside. 3. Soft Tofu soup combo - $20.99 It has to be ordered with the combo with 4 banchans. Lots of seafood inside the soup. Not over spicy but very flavorful. Prices are not really cheap but not overpriced since they put lots of ingredients on each dish. I'll definitely come back to try their other options.

    They offer great food selection and the portion size of each entree is sufficient for the amount charged. It's the first day opened and service is quick and efficient. The restaurant is located inside Midtown Eats at The Park and everything is new and nice and clean. It's like a food court in Midtown Eats so the place could be noisy.

    Repeat visitor to Sadie's BBQ located at the new Midtown Food Hall..just across the street from McDonald's Keeaumoku. This time we tried the combo plate.. bbq chicken & La kalbi w/ a choice of 4 sides & rice.. once again the service was friendly & fast. The chicken was marinated just right not too sweet..& the kalbi was tender & marinated with the best flavors! The sides were crunchy & tasty as well!! We will be back very soon to try more dishes!! Lots of clean tables to sit at.. comfortable even thou it was very busy.

    I got the combo plate with bbq and garlic chicken. Comes with 4 sides. Reasonable price for the amount of food. I enjoyed it but the girl taking my order was so so nice, cheerful and pleasant. I think her name was Kayla. Totally made my experience a great one

    Sadie's special (king kalbi, bbq chicken, meat jun & mandoo)
    Mary S.

    Sadie's BBQ, located in the new Park Condos ground floor food hall, Mainstreet Eats. Free parking available on the property. My coworkers and I decided to finally come check out this food hall to get our Korean bbq food fix and Sadie's did not disappoint! The servings are very generous, great for sharing. I had the two meat combo with kalbi and spicy garlic chicken. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The spicy garlic chicken isn't too spicy, it has a little bit of sweetness to it. The kalbi was tender and not overly cooked. The cashier was very nice and patient as we had quite a few plates we ordered. So glad a place like this opened up close to my job, so many great food options! Will be back to check out the other restaurants in Midtown Eats

    Bbq Chicken and Meat Jun plate - no rice extra veggie
    Kristin T.

    Got the bbq chicken and meat jun plate for $22 with no rice and an extra vegetable, the price is a bit high for the portion size compared to yummys or pearls. There was one piece of chicken and 6 slices of meat jun. Flavor of the vegetables was good the mac salad was my favorite with lots of pepper! The choi sum I think was put out by mistake cause it had no seasoning. The bbq chicken and meat jun were good but on the sweet side. Will definitely come back! Great addition to the area!

    I loved it here. Truly a hole in the wall. Parking is really tough so street parking is usually…read moregonna be the norm unless you get lucky in their tiny shared parking lot. The guava bar was delicious and flavorful and just crumbles in your mouth! Definitely one of the better guava bars I've tried. Love how crumbly it is. The salmon belly was delicious OMFG. It looks so simple and straightforward but that sht is so flavorful. It is crispy and yet soft on the inside. The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers! Uncle was very helpful and kind when serving and if you dine-in he brings it to your table.

    TL;DR The spicy pork…read moreis good. ----- I had Guava Smoked on my radar for quite a while, so when I found myself nearby and craving a protein-packed plate lunch, I decided to drop in. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant that is shared with the other businesses in the same building. When I walked into the restaurant at about 1pm on a Wednesday, I was surprised to find it almost empty. It's a pretty large space, so the lack of patrons was rather glaring. There was one person sitting at the counter facing the kitchen and one employee working. This was my very first visit to Guava Smoked so I asked the person at the counter what he recommends. He said the two most popular meats are the kalbi and the spicy pork. "Perfect!" I thought, because those were the two options I was eyeing. Unfortunately, they were out of kalbi that day. Bummer... Nothing else on the menu caught my eye, so I ordered a smoked spicy pork plate to go. The spicy pork was good. Did it blow my mind? I wouldn't say it did. But it was satisfying enough. Honestly, I really wish they had kalbi available when I went. Hopefully next time I stop in they will.
