    Tasty and Convenient I really wish Seoul Mix 2.0 was here in Maui! They have a great selection of ready-to-go items, which makes it super convenient if you're in a rush. At the same time, they also offer freshly made food if you want something hot and customized. The flavors are solid, portions are good, and it's a nice mix of Korean comfort food with fast service. Definitely a place I'd be visiting often if they had a location on this island too!

    I stand by my previous comment that the bulgogi fries need to be cooked longer. If it was more crispy or they used a thicker cut fry it would be amazing. The bentos are where it's at though, they are so good. The kimchi fried rice is so yummy and a little bit spicy. Shout out to the server that was there a few weeks ago. She was so sweet and patient with an older man that was having trouble with their ramen machine but she helped him without getting frustrated.

    Seoul Mix in the Ala Moana food court is sooo good! I highly recommend their Korean Kimchi Fries. They are shoe string fries topped with bulgolgi and kimchi and a delicious aioli. Think of poutine but with a Korean touch. The flavors are so authentic and that combination is killer. So good! also, food came out quickly!

    Lots of bentos for sale

    For a quick bite to eat in the food court, this place is a great stop. I got the vegetable hand rolls and it was delicious. I liked that it was crunchy and had good sesame oil flavor. It was $4.50 for three small hand rolls. A little pricey for how much food you get but that's to be expected at Ala Moana. No complaints!

    We've been their customers for at least 4 years. Tried mostly everything on the menu. Very consistent, they always have great flavors. We're especially fond of their gilbap or kimbap. A Korean Maki sushi served with a variety of condiments. My personal favorite is the Vegetable. The pickled turnip (Takuan) is one the best I've ever had. They have a good assortment of ready to go Bento's. A great place for a quick snack or a nice lunch.

    Spicy Chicken Bibimbap & mandoo

    So many bibimbops & mandoos this last Oahu trip, but I think these were my favorite on both counts. So much so I really wanted to go back to try the wagyu option but ran out of time. Ala Moana has over 100 dining options, but I'm only a repeat customer at a handful of them. Places like this make you wonder why all "mall food" can't be this amazing.

    Today I got to try their spicy chicken bento and I am impressed. It tasted very good. The worker was friendly so it made everything better.

    Takeout lunch from Ala Moana, Honolulu, Hawaii... Mom and I had just finished having breakfast at The Lanai (food court on the Mall Level). We were walking past all of the food vendors such as Teppanyaki Farmer, Ahi and Vegetable, etc. when I saw Seoul Mix 2.0. Gosh... the bentos and musubi looked really good... and everything was packaged... ready-to-go... convenient! I thought, "Since I'm here and there's no line, I should get something for lunch later on..." Good move because after driving mom around to her appointments, I was hungry when I got home! I ripped open the box of bulgogi kimbap (Korean sushi roll) quickly... Wow... Delicious! The healthy combination of black nori (seaweed), white rice, yellow takuan (pickled, crunchy daikon), brown, tasty bulgogi (seasoned meat), orange grated carrot, yellow egg, and green choi sum was colorful and fun with the perfect amount of sesame seed oil flavor... YUM!

    If you're in a rush, probably best not to order non-premade dishes from here. They have kimbap and other items on the counter. I ordered the bibimbap and it took awhile to get my food. The eggs overcooked on top but the flavors on point with the spicy chicken. I was pleasantly surprised. A bit on the oilier side than I'd like but overall, veggies were fresh with great seasoning.

    I came here around 11:30am and wanted to get the sweet & garlic shrimp bento box. They told me that there would be a wait, about two hours for the shrimp to defrost. Are you kidding me? I wasn't about to hang out for two hours to wait for the shrimp. Instead I picked up the prepackaged seafood pancake and shrimp tempura kimbap. The food was already room temperature as it was sitting out. I like how they have a time stamp on it. The food wasn't bad. I liked the seafood pancake. It had bits of calamari and shrimp in it. That vinegar soy dipping sauce that came with it was a winner. It gave that pancake life. The kimbap was ok. Obviously, the tempura was soggy and they didn't use a whole shrimp. It was minced shrimp in some kind of paste. I don't think that I would get it again. I appreciate that it wasn't greasy like some of the other kimbaps that I've had at other places.

    Yummy Korean cuisine quick bites. Located in the Lanai food court next to Macy's and Share Tea. Mall level. Nice and attentive service. Reasonable pricing. Bentos, musubis, Kimbap , kim chee fries and more are available. Ample seating that is cleaned by service personnel. Well lit. Noisy due to it being located in a food court. I ordered the kim chee fries with wagyu beef. Very flavorful and tasty. Make sure to ask for the sauce on the side.

    My fave spot for lunch whenever I go to Ala Moana. Bentos, kimbap, and onigiri are always affordable and filling. My fave is the spicy pork bento with a little japchae, rice, and mac salad. Lots of selection.

Parking was scarce, but we managed to find a spot nearby in the neighborhood. It was a Saturday around lunchtime, and we were able to be seated immediately. We didn't really know what we were doing with the menu, so our server ordered whatever she thought we would like. She did a great job. We got the Pipikaula short ribs, kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, poi, mac salad, and fried butterfish collar.  Everything was so good! My favorite two items were the short ribs and the butterfish collar. The short ribs were so meaty with a nice firm texture and had a yummy sweet marinade. The fried butterfish collar was crispy and dripping with buttery goodness.  Trying poi for the first time was such an interesting experience as well. I had always wondered what it tasted like. I had always thought it was going to be like a sweet taro paste dessert, but it's actually more like a starch and serves the same role as rice! Its neutral flavor allows you to pair it with your proteins. It adds a bit of texture and helps you feel full. I was really grateful for finally getting to try it and loved learning something new!

We went with what's recommended for first timers - laulau pork, you eat the leaves everything and it's filling and delicious - short ribs, some might say it's overcooked but I think it's just a different way of cooking and eating it, the pieces were thick and high quality, comes with 4 - Loki salmon, it's cured and this reminds me of ceviche or pico de gallo and salmon, it was flavorful, juicy and refreshing - comes with onions and salt to add to the complexity of the flavors - we ate it with poi, which they use as the starch to replace the rice. It's made of taro, I say give it a try for that unique and authentic experience - coconut jelly was yummy They accept cash and card Limited parking in the front, come in right before 5:30 on a weekday to beat the crowd Small family business vibes The experience lives up to the hype!

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

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.

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.

Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either.
