This place is dope.Don't listen to the Hoale people...they are fast and it all tastes good if you cook it correctly.

No wait. BYOB. Nice servers. I was able to come when it wasn't busy and it stays open late (4am). It's all you can eat! $28 read more

Do not make the same mistake I made. If you want AYCE, go to Gen, and if not, there are plenty of Korean BBQ restaurants with tasty food. This location is NOT worth the try and NOT the place to go to, as it has only declined over the years. Context: Came on a Friday afternoon around 2PM, just my husband and I. The last time I came was a few years ago, so I decided to try it again. This time totally turned me off from the restaurant + AYCE food options. Why? 1. Chewy, low-quality meats 2. Poor service 3. Lack of care for customers The above are red flags for any place with a price tag of $22 per customer, especially for LUNCH. With Gen around, I would recommend anyone to go there since not only is the service and food quality/variety better, it's cheaper too! We spent $50 for a lackluster meal. Also, about the food quality. I understand using frozen meats, but their meats still had so much liquid that it didn't cook properly, I had to literally spit some pieces out due to being inedible. Some other reviews mention how this place is the go-to for quantity over quality, but quantity doesn't matter when the quality is tasteless and almost inedible. Lastly, the lady shoo'ed a bird in the restaurant away and it literally flew inches from my face and she, unsurprisingly, could care less. I honestly wish I could forget I ever went to this place to spend my money. The worst part is that I'm not even overreacting about this. read more

This was definitely a bad experience that I had going to this restaurant. food was OK but the service was extremely terrible. The people who run it are just old grouchy ladies with frozen faces that just demand tip. we paid for our bill and gave them a five dollar tip they then whispered into my boyfriends ear and demanded an extra $10 tip. don't recommend going here especially if you're on a budget. read more

Pubes on food!!! No one had curly hair during this time when we came in. This is disgusting. read more

Sik Do Rak - Y'all know that ain't a regular hair. - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great hole in the wall Korean BBQ. Good prices and great quality meat... Also BYOB... Chee rajah hee!

Service was TERRIBLE! Got our orders wrong, it was busy but she was rushing us with our orders which caused her to get our orders wrong. She was trying to walk away as we kept talking and giving the rest of our order. One of the servers forced me and my party to tip them. It is stated that 5 or more people in a party, gratuity was included. As my 2 other friends were paying she took their change and they tried to get it back but refused and started yelling at us. read more

Hands down the worst location!! Go to the Sikdorak 2 or 3 locations. "Why?" you might ask. I'll tell you why. First of all, the restaurant is dirty and I mean dingy, falling apart, needs a new coat of paint, dirty. Secondly, the staff was abominably rude!! They had no tact and made my friend and I feel like they could care less that we were there to spend money in their establishment. I am not Korean and I saw that those who were of Asian decent were treated better. Not one smile or kind gesture at all was given to our two person table. We weren't demanding or drunk or clueless about what we wanted to order and yet we were treated horribly. Never again will I go there! I took all my friends to the other locations on several occasions. If you're in Kaneohe visit their number 2 location they are fabulous!! read more

No frills, open storefront, AYCE yakiniku, special before 4:30pm... staff is fun, meat good quality, and atmosphere very local...

Oh how I love cooking my own meat. It's been awhile since I've come here last, but nothing has changed. The price is right and the quality of meat is pretty good as well. It is BYOB which is always a plus and they will give you cups if needed. The side dishes are so yummy and upon request they will bring you more. The Mac salad is very yummy and so is the kimchee. 2 meats come out at a time, this insures that you do not waste. Service was quick and done with a smile. We also did not feel rushed when we ordered. read more

Meat is D grade quality. They don't have a lot of meats to choose from in all you can eat, for $21. Lettuce is not a free appetizer order, you have to pay around $7-8. Soups not included as a free side either. We were a party of 4, and were told to pay 18% gratuity, when a sign said 5 or more pay that tip. read more

The meat was alright, seemed not all the way thawed and marinated. Service was challenging as there was only one woman who we couldn't really understand. Would not go here again as there are sooo many options in this town. read more

Came here since other korean bbq places were closed for late night eat. They don't take reservations but have a waiting list. Their meat quality isn't great but can't expect too much from AYCE kbbq. They only have meat dishes and no side dishes unfortunately (only available until 5pm). Some of the meat quality is poor and the meat is very tough. read more

We were seated right away without a reservation and we're very accommodating considering our party of 8. Parking was good too since we arrived after 7pm. The Food was fresh and delicious... they were also very quick at refilling our cups with water. Overall a great place to dine on the Windward side; I can't wait to return soon! read more

When you're in the mood for a feast, strangely I'm always in the mood for one, this is the place to go! I've never been disappointed here except when it was time to admit defeat. I don't enjoy saying no to food, but all good things have to come to an end. Sikdorak is a buffet hole-in-wall. Mysteriously, the meat is never-ending, and it all comes from a back corner of the room. It's like magic. Ask and you shall receive! I think the waitress just goes in the back, snaps her fingers, says some magic words in Korean, and poof, the meat appears. She might wave a wand too. I'm not completely sure, because I can't see her that well. But that's how fast it is! There's all kinds of meat too from rib-eye, to beef tongue, to spicy pork, to chicken, and the list goes on! Just be careful to eat most of what you order or you will be liable for extra charges. Parking and seating can be a bit rough at peak times (it's a small place), but it's BYOB. Great for parking lot pregaming! Not quite sure if it's legal or okay with the security there, but it seems legit. If anything happens, you didn't hear it from me! After midnight is a no-no for BYOB though. The buffet is $19.95 and includes the banchan and rice with sauces. There are also a number of specials and ala carte items. They are pictured in large posters on the walls. If you need help with anything, just push a button. There's one on every table. Just don't rest your elbow on it like my friend did. He had no idea there was a button on the table and it irritated the heck out of the waitress. read more

Came to Sikdorak for AYCE Korean BBQ and I really enjoyed it. For 25.95$ per person, I though they had a nice selection of beef, pork and chicken dishes that are decent in quality and taste. I'm a beef brisket kind of person so I was throwing that down most of the time. You get 90 mins to do all your eating and they will charge you extra if you done eat all the meats you ordered. I was a bit disappointed that they don't have any seafood options but overall it was still good. There are also no desert dishes vso that was a bummer. The staff and service are great and attentive. There is a 18% gratitude if you come with more than 6 people. read more

There's no real secret that I'm a carnivore so this place really fits right in my wheel house. I used to go to Camelia a lot but I really prefer to hit up Sikdorak now. I just think the meat quality is better and it's also less expensive. True, Camelia has more side dish options but I'm really there for the meat so that doesn't matter to me. Although Sikdorak's banchan choices are fewer, the ones they have are good. I've tried all of the meat options but my favorite things to get are the Spicy pork, Bulgogi, BBQ chicken, Kalbi, and the Ribeye. All of them are great. Like others have pointed out, the ventilation system there is pretty much non-existent so you'll be leaving there smelling like bbq'd food. In fact, I'm always the designated cook and the hand that I use to turn the meat smells like food for a couple of days. * A note for you folks that like spicy food* Ask them for their special hot sauce! The owner makes it special for the spicy food lovers and that ish is wicked hot. He says he makes it from 7 different chiles (one of which is the insane ghost pepper!) The first time I asked for some hot sauce, the owner asked me 4 times... "are you sure? it's really hot." Me confidently, "hell yes!" Well, one taste of it sent me cowering...and I can eat some pretty hot food. There's a certain point when something spicy goes from hot, to just pain...and this sauce was full-on pain. He brought a dish of it that had about 3 tablespoons worth of hot sauce but throughout the entire meal, I probably used only about 1/2 a teaspoon of it. I was so shame about my wimpy-ness that I actually scooped some out and hid it among the used dishes so it looked like I used a lot. Ugh, what a wuss...lol. A couple of times he came by to check on us and asked how I liked his hot sauce. I said "awesome!" but inside I was really thinking "OMG, you are EVIL for making this!" Now when I go, I ask for it but I make sure they just bring very VERY little. They probably think I'm a wimp but that's ok, I have a low threshold for pain. read more

Believe the hype! If you're a meat loving caveman carnivore or on the Atkins diet, you MUST come here! I ordered the 19.95 'All You Can Eat" Yakiniku special and boy are the portions ginormous.

Up until last night I was tormented by numerous check ins from yelper friends and rave reviews from Melissa C. Kyle H. Chris O. and many others. Thankfully Sikdorak extended their hours- 24 hours a day! (Started Friday). Lucky for me this fits my schedule PERFECTLY! haha. I started recruiting fellow diners from workplace the night before- trying to get a good group to try out this new place. After work on Saturday night (midnight) we head down to Sikdorak in Samsung Plaza. With me is Mark "Skid" A. Bruna "Translator" J. and Jon "Noob" K. Planning ahead, I brought along Bruna- from Brazil but knows Portuguese, English, and Korean to help us out since previous reviews suggest having a Korean speaker. She did a brilliant job- ordering us 4 all you can eat specials with all meats and rice. We were brought water, rice, a mountain of all the meats, and boiling "miso soup" which consisted of squash/zucchini and tofu. Quite good, but waaaaay too hot temperature wise. All the meats included ribeye, tongue, brisket, pork belly, spicy chicken, spicy pork, kalbi, and bbq chicken. We tore through two full orders of all meats and were very much satisfied. My favorites were the tongue, ribeye, and SPICY PORK. HOLY COW (pig actually) that spicy pork was sweet, spicy, and tender. I could eat 20 orders of that all day every day. Definitely a must order. We only took one picture, we were THAT hungry and the food looked and tasted so good! http://media1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/sFKkwIw7V3ttF-dVD1rWeA/l On a side note, my Korean is terrible. I know 2 phrases and random words. Luckily for me the two phrases I know are "hello" and "more rice please". Whew, dodged a bullet there. The ajumma was very nice and everything came out quickly. We destroyed the banchan and all the meats in record time. We were so hungry after our dinner rush at work! After the meal I felt like Grant the Meat Pinata. I was bursting at the seams with meat. Gamers body ftw. Ajumma, gamsahabnida! read more

If you're a meat-lover, this is your heaven. Honestly, I want to keep this place all to myself ... I already see it soon becoming the new "hot on yelp" place to go and it will be like SHC, lines and waiting for hours... but sharing is what Yelp's all about right? Thanks Ryan T. for NOT keeping Sikdorak a secret. I'll begrudgingly do the same... :P Their all you can eat special covers every important hour of the day - 11 am til 4 am! $19.95 for all you can fit in your tummy. Our waiter, Chuck even suggested we take a run around the block, come back and eat more. They don't try to stuff you with rice or carbs so you eat less meat either. In fact, they didn't even ask if we wanted rice! The tables were kind of small but I'd just call it cozy. We gave every meat offered a try and enjoyed all of it, tender, meaty cuts, not really cheap and badly-cut chewy pieces you'd imagine at the rock-bottom price and huge portions they serve. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=btUE-Jt4uxbmO7tEf7mW3Q For me, the best part as always when I dish out a five-star rating is the service, atmosphere and ftw, the amount of fun I have. This is a really great (albeit small) place to have a lot of laughs, drinks and LOTS of MEAT! rawwwwr!! PS... don't forget to stop next door (Sushi ii) to grab some dessert - the byob party can continue there with their FAB sweets! read more

Food is really good but shady practices. They AUTO ADDED 18% TIP to my credit card. Even when I asked for change saying I'd like to leave a cash tip, the guy processing my payment didn't say anything about tip auto he added to my credit card. Shady. Shady. Shady. read more

My family & I wanted to try a new place out, & we were in the mood for Korean BBQ. Due to the following points, we thought this place would be at least decent: 1) open 24 hours 2) about $22/adult for all you can eat meat 3) BYOB However, we had terrible customer service! Although we were the first customers there in the morning, the waitress took her time with us. She also didn't give us the lettuce wraps. The meat wasn't good quality; it was tough & tasteless. Upon paying the bill, she was asking for a 15% gratitudity on top of our bill & tip. My dad asked "Why?" & she pointed to a sign that said it's mandatory for parties with 6 or more people. I'm pretty confident that my mother, father, sister, & I make a party of 4. We just paid the bill & left immediately. read more

All you can eat for $19.95 plus tax. We got there around 5pm so there were a few open tables open. You have to cook your own food here, and it's not "buffet style". You need to tell the waiter what meats to bring, and it arrives on a small plate. We ordered bulgogi and spicy pork. My dad was very happy with his bulgogi meat, he eats them on the the big lettuce, soy paste and garlic served on the side. My favorite korean food of all time, spicy pork, was just ok. It was more sweet pork instead of spicy. Drinks are extra, no desserts on the menu. The restaurant itself is pretty clean. It's in a strip mall all the way in the back near a stripper club. Parking is validated. I left pretty disappointed. Ok value for the food. I've been to Camellia many times and guess I am spoiled by their wide range of food, desserts, and most of all attentive staff. read more

RAWR RAWR RAWR! If you ever want to see someone become a t-rex or any other carnivore for that matter, go to Sikdorak. If you like yakiniku or if you simply like meat, Sikdorak is the place to go. Hands down, no questions asked. While they offer a pretty good menu, you come here for one thing. The all-you-can-eat meat option. For $19.95, you really can't go wrong. There are a plethora of meat options to choose from. Whether you want kalbi, pork belly, chicken, beef tongue or more, they have it! While they offer a sides, that really wasn't what you wanted to spend your money on, nor do they make such a big emphasis on it. Service is pretty good and while the wait staff isn't incredibly attentive, simply flag one of them down and let them know what you want and they are very good about bringing what you ask. Plus, some of them have personality which adds to the overall character of the restaurant. Located right off Keaaumoku and in the Sam Sung Plaza, parking can be a bit of a challenge. If you are fortunate to find parking in the lot, be sure to get your validation or you could be in for a surprise. So here's the skinny of it. 1) Make a reservation 2) Arrive with group for said reservation 3) Decide on meats you want 4) Throw said meats on grill 5) When cooked to your liking, consume. 6) Eventually roll out of Sikdorak smelling like a bbq. Oh, do not bring vegetarians or carb-lovers because they will clearly not like this place. Restaurant is also BYOB! read more

Sik Do Rak - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm really mad at myself...I didn't really do my research before coming here. All I read was AYCE K-Buffet for $20 with cow tounge and didn't read any further. AYCE cow tounge impairs my judgement. In reality, Sikdorak does deserve 4 stars but based on the fact that we had to eat two "cow" platters before ordering anything else, I am giving them 3 stars. This is how it went down. I made reservations for 8 ppl with 8:00pm reservations. At exactly 8:00 as I was getting out of my car, Sikdorak called to see where I was. There was a crazy line forming and they were going to give away my table if I didn't show up. I sat down and asked the waiter what kind of alcohol do they have. Again my fault for not doing my research. BYOB! Score! Too bad I didn't bring any so I called my sister who was already late to pick up some beer. What's bbq without some liquor? I asked the waiter how do we order (this is why i'm giving 3 stars). I feel cheated as he told me we would start with the "cow" platter, which is a sampler platter of different parts of the cow (ribeye, brisket, pork belly, etc) and then we can order off the menu. Basically, non seasoned meat and definitely no cow tounge on the plate. This sampler was huge and they brought out 2 plates without asking how many we wanted. They charge for leftover meat so we had to eat it. Too much meat and it didn't leave us with a lot of room for the seasoned items. We did order a few plates of tounge which was sliced perfectly and not tough to chew at all. We tried some of the spicy pork which was spicy, sweet and tender. As much as we wanted to try other items, we were stuffed to the hilt. If I had did my research and the waiter didn't force feed us the "sampler" as I can see now none of my fellow yelpers had to eat this, then I would definitely give Sikdorak 4 stars. For $20, BYOB, tasty marinated meat and being open 24 hours deserves 4 stars. But tricking my party into eating crappy meat to fill us up, that's a no no. I hope that the next time I come back, I have a better experience since I am now an experienced Sikdorak patron and will not be tricked! read more

Sik Do Rak - Sampler cow platter - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Edit: I posted Sikdorak's entire menu, starting with their all you can eat banner: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=WR2hxmk1jHR_4Rqqm3RA1g Tip #1: They do take reservations for parties of 5 or more, but I highly recommend you have someone who speaks Korean make the call for you. Tip #2: Free parking at the Samsung Plaza with validation. Tip #3: BYOB Tip #4: Credit cards accepted With that said, this place is LEGIT. After just one visit, I can honestly say that this will be my new favorite all you can eat Korean joint (sorry Camellia's, I'll visit you again eventually). Open 11am-4am (soon to be 24 hours), and for just $19.95 you have the honor of eating an unlimited amount assorted meats (my favorites: seasoned short rib, spicy pork, and tongue). You would assume that such a low price point would result in average at best quality, but you'd be wrong. The meats here aren't as fatty as you would expect and are also cut thin, which then allows people like me to cook and eat much faster. Space: Sikdorak is pretty small, and the workers are constantly shifting tables to accommodate parties of all sizes. Despite it being a little cramped, you'll have room to breathe and carry on a conversation. With the important stuff out of the way, and referring back to Tip #1, I made a phone reservation for 7:30pm, but upon arrival they put it down as 3:30pm. A man, who I assumed was the owner, was apologetic and ensured us that we will be seated ASAP. Even though my party's wait wasn't very long, he came back numerous times to apologize and to make sure the next opening will be ours. Tip #5: Although this place is near open 24 hours, I'd go and eat there now before the popularity sky rockets. read more

One of my favorite korean bbq spots that never seem to fail me. Parking can be a bit hard to find, but all you really gotta do is park at Walmart and cross the street. The place is quite small, so it can get packed and the wait is real. Usually when I go the wait is 30 minutes. If you can manage that good for you, if not go eat some takeout kbbq instead you impatient peasants. Seating can be a bit tight for its small space, but it's bearable. Food wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad. It's what you expect from a korean bbq place. Banchan was pretty good, especially the potatoes and kimchi. As for the meats, they have a simple selection to choose from. My personal favorites were the pork belly, spicy pork, spicy chicken, and brisket. Nothing special about them, they were just good. Sauce was nice to have on the side, especially the sesame oil one. Overall, food was above average, but nothing amazing. Service here is really fast paced and on top of things. If they see you need more water or a new grill, it's there before you know it. They're also really helpful and quick when you need to order more food. Really nice to have some waiters that pay attention to their customers. Basically, Sikdorak is like that one spot you can always count on. It's not the greatest thing ever, but it's there for you when you want to eat some korean bbq. read more

Sik Do Rak - Great place to eat with a small group of friends. - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Update! We came here after our Pin Thai massage on a Monday night around 7pm.. it wasn't busy so we waited only about 3-5min for them to clean up our table. The music was poppin! A lady and a guy was the only ones who was working tonight as waiters. So they were everywhere. But they always checked up on us. Me & Josh always order the beef tongue, brisket and pork belly. We went for 4 rounds and tapped out. Rice bowls + the sides were green salad, Mac salad, kim chee, bean sprouts and other kinds of chopped veggies. I always enjoy the darker brown sauce rather than the lighter one w/ the salt in it. If you need anything or change the grill top, they have the buzzer on each table & they'll come quickly. They also give us a small water jug to refill our own waters which is smart! Total for both of us was $50 something. We was so full, we always enjoy eating ALL YOU CAN EAT yakiniku here. read more

I've been wanting to check out this place ever since it became a huge hit on yelp awhile back!! We finally got around to checking it off my list :) I didn't know that Sikdorak was 24/7 all you can eat korean bbq style meat?! No wonder yelpers were ALL OVER this!! We got there around 630 and waited ~30mins for a table. The restaurant is pretty small and cramped, but they somehow managed to get about 8-9 tables in there. As soon as you sit down, you just order what type of meats you want. The service was pretty fast when I came here (I know others have had problems), and they were always around to order more meats, side dishes, rice and other things. There is also a nifty little button on your table to call for service if you don't see anyone in sight. They had a pretty big variety of meats--beef, tongue, tripe, chicken, pork, pretty much anything that you could think of. The portions were also pretty big, so we started asking for smaller portions so that we wouldn't waste and that we could try more things! The grade of meat isn't the best, but for the 19.99/person price? That's a deal!! I was a little confused with the tripe though...it wasn't tripe like I've seen before--thick and not as chewy. We weren't 100% sure it was actually tripe, but we ate it anyway! The chicken, beef and pork were well marinated and tasted great! I walked out of here feeling super satisfied and stuffed to the max!! My only gripe is that I walked out feeling unbalanced and yucky from my meat binge...I was having guilty thoughts about not eating my veggies that meal. They should offer some simple veggies to grill along with the meat, cus they would be just as delicious! Or maybe an all you can eat salad/vegetable restaurant should open up next door lol! read more

This is my absolute favorite place to indulge late at night. After working a long and irritating shift of work, what better to do than to head down to Sikdorak with my coworkers. Total, I've dined here 4 times,and all for the all you can eat $20 deal. My favorite thing about this place besides the meat is that it is BYOB. Mmmm a few Kirins along my delicious beef. Yumm! Throughout the times I've visited, my favorites are the cow tongue, ribeye, and seasoned short rib. Though I've heard the spicy pork is a winner, I've never tried it since I can't handle spicy food. ): Last night's trip to Sikdorak has earned the 5 stars from me. We called in for a party of 9 from the late night Genki crew, and knowing that the owner loves our sushi, we offered a couple trays of spicy tuna. The owner quickly brought out two bottles of Soju, along with shot glasses for us. I am extremely grateful to restaurants who recognize their regulars, since we are the ones who will keep them in business. The one server working that night was quick and attentive. I was suprised, since service has been okay in the past, but this server made an impression to me. This server changed our grills 4 times throughout our meal! We ordered a total of 4 rounds of meats, all which were generously portioned. What I also love about this place is that not only is it unlimited meats, it is also unlimited rice and side dishes. All in all I will be coming back here the near future! A few tips: -it's BYOB, so bring some booze ! -for the all you can eat, they also serve a bubbling hot tofu miso soup per table, but throughout my visits I've figured you have to ask the server to bring it out -they charge for waste, so eat up ! -going late at night avoids parking problems -they take reservations, so call in in advance for large parties read more

Sik Do Rak - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Our review isn't based off the food, it's based off the service. The food at Sikdorak was delicious, the only problem we had was our waitress and how she handled things. My friends and I ordered a BUNCH of food, but we knew we could finish it, which was why we ordered it in the first place. However, just asking for more rice was already problematic for her, as she said "Oh make sure to finish or else we gonna charge you extra." I understand it's her job to charge us extra, but we just asked for rice, we didn't ask for the check yet... all we wanted was a bowl of rice lol. Proceeding later on in the night, the waitress literally touches me and moves my chair for me because I was "in her way." If I was her, it would have been nice if she could've tapped me on the shoulder asking ME to move my chair instead of moving it herself, and also without having to touch the side of my stomach. The big issue I really had this whole experience was when she was changing our grill. When she replaced it, she aggressively snatched the tongs out of my hand and transferred the meat to the new grill carelessly. It would have been nice if she could've asked me to hand over the tongs, but I didn't appreciate it when she just took it right out of my hands Once upon checkout, my friends and I were already mad. We didn't want to leave tip but when she was ringing us up at the cashier she kept glancing back at the table, probably looking if we left a tip. From there she goes "make sure you guys leave tip ok?" and we were already mad, we didn't want to start anything, so we left $1. We understand tipping waitresses/waiters is the right thing to do in a restaurant, however we didn't feel comfortable tipping the waitress as we felt she gave us a bad service, but more importantly, BAD EXPERIENCE. Shoutout to the dude in the glasses that was working there, he was honestly better than our actual waitress, and we really wanted to give tip to him instead of her. He was a bus boy as well if I'm not mistaken, which I give huge props on. I really hope he gets a promotion or a pay raise by Sikdorak because we can tell he honestly works hard. We're never coming back to Sikdorak because of our experience there. We felt uncomfortable ordering more food as she kept wondering why and if we could even finish it. We didn't like how she would just keep looking at us while we were eating. My best advice for people looking to eat at All You Can Eat Korean BBQ places would be to go GEN in Ala Moana. At Sikdorak it costs $25, at GEN it's $27. For $2 more, you get a nicer place, more variety of options for food, and a friendlier staff of waiters and waitresses. read more

I had been dying to try Sikdorak since it first opened and, yay, I finally made it down several days ago for lunch. I am not keen on smelling like cooked meat and smoke at work, so yakiniku was out of the question. Next time all-you-can-eat meat, it's on! Sikdorak has a "lunch special" section in their menu that runs from 10am-5pm. Listed in this section are various specialties like $3.95 naeng myun, $4.95 Kim Chee pancake, and $7.95 soondubu (soft tofu soup). I, of course, went with 2 lunch specials: their $3.95 spicy cold buckwheat noodle (naeng myun) and the mandoo plate to share. My lunch date (Grandpa) ordered beef tongue--no deal or special indicated. Being that we were the only ones in there at the time, service was good. Water was refilled and our food came out relatively quick. The thinly sliced and already cooked tongue came out first with some raw garlic and jalapeños. Yum! Surprisingly, the tongue was much more tender than the tongue I've eaten at other yakiniku restaurants. My Grandpa was loving the different dipping sauces. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=mXWk9JgiSA0vH6KPGA8fGg My $3.95 spicy naeng myun was garnished with the usual--spicy sauce, half a boiled egg, cucumber strips, and daikon--sans the one piece of beef that is often present. I was pleasantly surprised with the portion of noodles given for $3.95. I ended up asking for a small container for my leftover naeng myun... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=loh8mpJ6h12iHbIi0hp6QQ The mandoo plate and its sauce were both excellent. A little different from other Korean mandoo I have had, but nonetheless, very delicious. Being that there were an odd-5 pieces, I made sure Grandpa had 3. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=noAr-hUKH9wmhgdFlijHeg Sikdorak is located on Keeaumoku in the Samsung Plaza area, nearby where the old Tsunami was, by Pho Saigon and Peaches N Cream. This convenient location makes Sikdorak a likely choice for some after-party chow down. And because Sikdorak is open 24 hours, one is able to enjoy their tasty deals at all hours of the night or day! Plus, they offer free parking with validation. (!!) I look forward to the next Sikdorak visit. The all-you-can-eat meat is gonna get it! Yelp 365 - #027/365 read more

Came here on a whim for lunch with my co-worker, Cory M...and I need to come back here sometime again...shortly. While trying to go lunch around the Samsung Center, we came across Sikdorak. Looking into the restaurant it's somewhat intimidating because it's so korean. Momma-sans and poppa-sans eating, a few korean nationals (which we know), but because of all these people, we knew this place must be LEGIT! We both ordered the meat jun plate. We also shared a kalbi side order. The meat jun is sooooo tender and delicious. The meat and batter are both so soft and the flavor just explodes with the sauce. The kalbi is also ridiculously tender and tasty. The best part about all this delicious food is we paid $13 each for food (meat jun, kalbi, rice, korean sides at least 6 different vegetables), tax AND tip! I definitely recommend this place if you want some killer korean food. 5 stars easy! And, I will definitely be back for lunch. read more

Sik Do Rak - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sikdorak. (2 stars). Here is one of the key things to knowing whether you are eating at a reputable Yakiniku restaurant... They serve their meats with SESAME OIL... Sikdorak does NOT!! Sesame Seed Oil is the best dipping sauce for Yakiniku but because it is quite expensive most places like Sikdorak just squeeze canola oil or some cheap oil into a plate and add rock salt. There is a huge difference in flavor profile between sesame seed oil and any other oil!! Having said that if you're looking for a cheap place to fill up on meat then Sikdorak will satisfy that need. If you're looking for an authentic Korean restaurant that serves all the side dishes (ban-chan) then don't come here because you will be completely disappointed!! For $23 a person (minimum two people)... You can order up to 4 choices of meats (at a time). While the meats are AYCE the quality is below average. I wasn't expecting marbled meats but it was so hard to cut the meats with the cheap dull scissors we were given. The tongs don't even have a spring so they barely grabbed (let alone held) the meat!! Imagine trying to cut fatty slabs of meat with a blade as sharp as a plastic knife!! Aggravating... The side dishes were lacking in flavor. We were served shoyu potatoes, salad, bean sprouts, and kimchi. None of the dishes were tasty but again this is a cheap quality place so I wasn't expecting much after seeing the quality (or lack thereof) of their meats. The service was OK. The waiter just kept asking us if we were done. Was a little annoying especially because there were only 3 other people there while we were eating. The BF and I got there at 17:10. The tofu soup and dumplings special only goes until 17:00. I asked the waiter if I paid full price if I could order a tofu soup and dumplings since that is what I used to eat when I came here for breakfast! The waiter said NO! After 17:00 you can only order meat! Sigh... Parking can be rough depending on what time and what day you come here. Get your parking ticket validated and you will only pay $1. The parking for Sikdorak is located in the Sam Sung Plaza across from Walmart. I used to come here for breakfast but after the below average quality of Yakiniku and the fact that I can't get soup even after offering to pay full price for it... I doubt I will be back. Good for people on a budget who can eat a lot!! read more

Meat eaters/lovers rejoice! This 24/7 Korean place is where its at! Whether it be for lunch, dinner, or at 1 or 2 in the morning, this is where you need to be if you want a meat splurge! Alright so the other night was my second time at Sikdorak and it was just as good as the first time, if not better! For the incredible price of $19.95 you can eat all the meat you want (shortrib, rib-eye, brisket, tongue, seasoned shortrib, seasoned beef, tripe, pork belly, spicy pork, and chicken) and the BEST thing is that there's no time limit!! The first time I went to Sikdorak I went with a bunch of guy friends and we ate for 3 hours! Just make sure you eat everything I believe they can charge if you waste a lot.. For all you Sikdorak haters...well they got better! They now bring out more lettuce, a wider array of vegetables, and even a kim chee like salad. But of course you still have to ask for water, rice, Korean miso soup http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=VTWSWZlEX2tZu9Yv2xXD2w&select=HzowMSdHgCHLvRU3AwxZdQ, tongs, and scissors (if they don't bring it to you). But don't complain! It just gives you a reason to press that little korean button on your table. And that's what it's for! To call the waiter. So if a problem occurs just calm down, take a breath, and press that button! I love pressing the button! The inner child in me just gets all excited pressing it =) As for the service its not bad but not great. At my second visit we had a nice local guy who would joke around with us! Very cool guy. But the other time I had a not-so-friendly waiter (a young Korean guy). So in a nutshell its all you can eat for $19.95 kids are $16.95 (so don't bring kids), expect to have a meat overload, and use that Korean button to call those waiters! read more

--- Things to know --- 1. All You Can Eat 2. Open 24 Hours 3. Korean Yakiniku 4. $20 5. BYOB --- Details --- - Location and Parking Sikdorak is located in the Sam Sung Plaza on Keeaumoku. Which is right across the street of Wal-Mart. Parking is free with validation, but it's usually crowded with small stalls. You could always just park at Wal-Mark and walk over. - Ambiance I t feels like a hole in the wall type of restaurant, not the cleanest, nicest place, but fits right in with the $20 all you can eat yakiniku! The place is usually busy, noisy and a bit cramp. The tables are small so don't bring more then 6 people because you will have to wait a long time to be seated. - Service The service is not bad. They usually just sit you down, take your orders, setup the stoves, bring your food, re-fill your waters, bring more food, then give you the check. They do it like a checklist, and if its not too busy they will do it in a timely matter. - Food It's pretty simple... Unlimited amounts of the typical korean yakiniku side dishes and raw beef and pork. It's pretty good, not the best, but not bad. Just come hungry and you leave full. I love yakiniku, so I like Sikdorak read more

Wow, Wow, Wow Wow, Super fast service Wow, $19.99 all you can eat Wow, open 24 hours Located in the Sam Sung Building across Ke'eaumoku from Walmart. Parking is easy but limited spaces. Arrived at about 7:30p on a Friday night and had no problem parking. The place is small. Maybe fit about 80 people at a time but, we had no problem getting seated. However, there was a line when we left. Remember to sign in if there are no tables available. I witnessed a couple arrive and kinda wait outside. In the meantime another group came and put their name on the board before them. Be aggressive! immediately got our order taken. "All you can eat" we stated. Thanks to reading reviews on Yelp we knew the ropes. The all you can eat choices are displayed on the wall....The whole wall. For us that have bad eyesight.....thats amazing! You can choose up to 4 plates of raw meat at a time. So, we did. now, this is the amazing part....as soon as the waiter left our table another came and put all the starters down. Whoa, I didnt even have time to check in on my Yelp App. Soon after, the meat arrives. again...Super Fast! Beef Touge, BBQ Chicken, Marinated Boneless Shortribs and Rib Eye. That was the first order. Yum! We reordered everything except the Rib Eye (I thought it was just ok compared to everything else). The marinated meat is Delicious and I LOVE the Beef Tongue. Also, reordered the side dishes with no problem. Kim Chee was ono (delicious) too. I highly recommend this place. Perfect for after the gym when you gotta get the protein into your system. If you love meat, this is the place for you. read more
