    Service was excellent! Fast and friendly counter service. I had the combo tofu soup and spicy pork. Not too spicy but just right! Clean and welcoming. First time visiting Midtown eats and there was so many choices but I was craving Korean. Hit the spot!

    Initial visit for a late lunch. Midtown Eats isn't busy during off peak hours....never been here in the evening. Sadie's BBQ has their original location in the Pearl City Shopping Center - I've never patronized. This Liona St. locale is open daily from 1100a till 900p. They are a bit pricier than the other establishments in the food hall. I asked an employee if they put fish sauce in their kim chee...she said it was shrimp paste...I'm not a seafood fan. Requested the King Kal Bi plate ( this is their signature dish ) for takeout and it took about ten minutes. King Kal Bi is a thicker cut than most beef short ribs you will get for a kal bi dish. The beef was welll seasoned and tender. Banchan was your typical fare - I liked the potatoes, not quite as sweet as most Korean fast casual eateries. While I enjoy kal bi - my go-to is meat jun. i definitely want to try their version.

    Dinner. Sunday May 31, 2026

    Sunday May 31, 2026 First time, trying the Korean food from Sadie's BBQ. Street parking on Keeaumoku Street or parking in the structure and the parking entrance is at 1515 Liona Street. Parking is FREE for now. Take the escalator to go down to the Midtown Eats building. You can order at the counter when slow or at the kiosk for faster service when busy. Credit card only!! Service is fast and friendly. Food came out 10-15 minutes shortly after. It looked good and tasted good. Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here. We will be back again. Support local businesses.

    Kalbi/Meat Jun and Kalbi/BBQ Chix plates
    John N.

    First time at Midtown Eats. Super nice place and free parking also. Walked around and saw that Sadie's was here. I wanted to try this place so I ordered two plates. Kalbi/Meat Jun and Kalbi/BBQ Chicken. The employee very friendly. Meat jun was good. Not the best I've had but very tasty. The BBQ chicken was great, very tasty. Now Kalbi, great flavor but the meat was super chewy and I was kinda disappointed because it was expensive. IDK about trying it again because I don't want to spend money on chewy Kalbi. The portions kinda small but I guess that's just the way it is these days. Maybe just an unlucky day for me and Kalbi, but shouldn't be a gamble. Aloha

    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!

    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
    Yvonne C.

    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.

    I was seriously craving comfort food and this place hit the spot. The meat jun was so good -- perfectly seasoned, tender, and fried just right with that light egg batter on the outside. Crispy edges but still juicy inside. Exactly how it should be. Everything tasted homemade and comforting. You can tell they care about flavor and quality. Definitely coming back when I need that local, satisfying plate lunch fix.

    Mari D.

    Decided to checkout the new eater in town and settled on Sadie's for dinner. Disclaimer: I've never actually been to the original location in Pearl City but I've always heard such great reviews. Now, I don't have to look very far since they opened up this second location! Ordered a meat jun and spicy pork combo as well as a seafood pancake to share with my girlfriends. I really liked how flavorful the meat Jun was but the pancake stole the show for me. It was crispy and packed with seafood and green onions. My favorite part about it was the fact that was super crispy without being so oily! The plate was HEFTY and the pancake was huge with reasonable prices. I had more than enough to take home to enjoy for lunch the next day

    Josie K.

    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.

    LA Kalbi
    John M.

    I'm so glad to have Sadie's in town. Great spot at midtown eats with lots of parking and lots of seating area. The Kalbi and meat jun are my favorite items and if you don't know what to get. Just get the Sadie's special. They have specials here often so check back for different items.

The lobster itself was super fresh and the texture is great. You can taste the freshness from the food and you know that the lobster is not previously frozen.

All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.
