This place is my second home. I went there twice within a week and even after that I was still craving for more. It's as if they have nicotine in their meat! Seriously, $20 for all you can eat meat, what could be better?!! Now I have an awesome crew to go with who are always down to go at such late hours with me, and they are down to SERIOUS BUSINESS when it comes to eating here. We try to eat at least 3 rounds of meat and we definitely make sure we order more Kalbi, spicy pork, and cow tongue. Those three are the best of the best, and everything else is good too.. the beef brisket, ribeye, BBQ chicken, pork belly. The smart part, they charge if you waste meat! Genius! Who'd want to waste if you gotta pay an extra fee. That's motivation to finish right there. I must say though, after eating my belly is protruding out as if I'm three months preggos, and once I get home I kanak hard. So my overall impression: the restaurant is small, you can fit about four large groups of up to 10 ppl. and four tables for 2-4 people. Its plain looking.. Service is not bad, but not the best. You will constantly have to flag someone down for more water or more meat. Quality of the meat is good. and Price is my favorite part. Parking is best at night time, its free. I'm not sure about the morning time but I am pretty sure they validate so it should be free. one last thing, they also have other entres so its not strictly yakiniku! I definitely recommend this place to any meat lovers out there. You won't be disappointed. But find yourself and good group whose down to eat lots && may the force be with you. read more

Since discovering this place back in 2011, I must have eaten here at least 50 times. It's $19.95 for all you can eat, which you really can't beat. Parking is validated, so make sure to bring the ticket in with you. If you park there after hours, they ask that you pay at the pay box - but in all my visits I have never paid there and never been ticketed or towed. Nor have I ever seen a tow truck or anyone checking the pay box. If there is a line, you'll have to wait outside as there is no seating area. Once you're seated, the food comes out quickly and you can cook it yourself over the grill or they can assist you. When I go I always order the Seasoned Beef, which I love. The trick is not to fill up on the rice and sides and order a new plate of meat as soon as you are done cooking the one you have. That was there's less down time in between eating, so you'll eat more (if that's your goal). You can stay for up to 90 minutes, but I haven't seen them ask anyone to leave because they passed the limit. If you go during the day there's a bunch of super fast, friendly guys working. If you go there at night (10 pm or later), there's some no-nonsense Aunties working there who take some time to warm up to. But, the service is fast, the food is good and you can't beat the price for all you can eat Korean BBQ. You need 2 or more people for the all you can eat. If one person at the table does not order the all you can eat, trust and believe they will watch to make sure they're not sneaking meat off your plate. It's BYOB, but only before 10 pm. They do have a bathroom on site, but not in the restaurant so you'll have to wait for the key to be available (on the spoon hanging by the door). I've seen a couple cockroaches in here, but it's Hawaii and an open-door restaurant so it wasn't a total shock. In 50+ visits, I've not had a bad experience. Though, I did knock off a star for the bugs. One is one too many when I'm eating. read more

Food is delicious. However, the service could be alot better. Wouldn't go back for that reason.

Late review! Sikdorak is located in the Samsung Plaza. There's lots of parking in the lot (it was free when I went), although I can see the lot filling up during peak hours. I visited Sikdorak for the first time several weeks ago for a birthday dinner. We were lucky to score a large table without having to wait, but after we were seated there were a lot of people starting to wait outside the restaurant. First off, this place is tiny! There are 3 long tables (communal tables so you could end up sitting with people you don't know) and 3 small tables. You could end up waiting quite a while if the line is long and all the tables are full. There's a 90 minute time limit on dining in, although I don't know how strict they are with this rule. Overall, the food is pretty darn good. All you can eat for adults is $19.95. Kids under 12 is $16.95. The quality of meat isn't as good as a place like Gyukaku, but then again--Gyukaku is a lot more expensive, especially if you're like me and have a hefty, man-like appetite. Some of the meat selections were short rib, rib eye, seasoned short rib, brisket, tongue, seasoned beef, pork belly, spicy pork, and BBQ chicken. My favorites were the brisket, rib eye, and spicy pork. The banchan (sides) and rice are also all you can eat. The only one I eat is the bean sprouts and they brought me at least 5 refills of it. Service was good! The servers definitely work hard on bringing you what you need and changing out the grill plates. It's also BYOB! One tip is dont go too crazy overordering, as they'll charge you if you waste food. Just so you know, for parties of 6 or more they automatically add 18% gratuity. read more

My boyfriend was visiting from San Diego and craving KBBQ so we picked up his friend and headed to Sikdorak. It's AYCE, perfect for hungry people, and you can order 3-4 meats at a time. You must finish what you order or you will be charged an additional fee. We got there and the parking lot was really busy, but we were able to get a table right away. Water, banchan, and rice were also brought over quickly. They don't sell alcohol, but you can BYOB without a corkage fee. The guys ran to Walgreens to pick up some beer and left me to order the first round of meat. I got boneless kalbi, bulgogi, pork belly, and brisket. They went on the grill as soon as they came out and the first round of meat was ready when the guys came back with the beer. The meat was tasty, quick to cook, and portions were good sized. We also had beef tongue, spicy pork belly, spicy pork...all very tasty! I think we did about 6 rounds of meat before tapping out. Prices were reasonable, service was friendly, and the small restaurant appeared pretty clean. They do validate parking, so it was only $1. read more

Located across from Walmart. Easy to miss being that it is down a little alley. Restaurant is rather small and you'll probably end up sitting to a family you don't know since they share tables. All day buffet for $21.95. Side dishes are ok, sweet potato was my favorite. As for the servers, they don't really speak English and they only came to check up on us once other then that we kept having to flag them down. Seasoned meats were yummy! I most likely would not return only because the server told me how much tip to leave which I thought was rude of her being that we had to cook our own food. All she did was bring the food to us. read more

$19.95 for AYCE short rib, rib eye, seasoned short rib, brisket, tripe, tongue, seasoned beef, pork belly, spicy pork, BBQ chicken! It sounds like such a good deal, right? But then you sit down and think what the heck happened to the banchan? After arriving a little late to meet our party, I think I only spotted some coleslaw, kimchee, and pickled cucumber. And there was no rice flour wrappers here-just lettuce and rice. While there is a fairly large selection of meats to choose from and they are pretty generous with their portion size, I think that most of the cuts left me filled but wanting more...flavor? The tongue was a real disappointment for me because it was shaved so thinly that it really didn't taste like tongue for me. Perhaps this is a good thing because most people probably don't like the taste of tongue-but I grew up in a Chinese household where we ate many strange things :p The meats that I did enjoy were the BBQ chicken and spicy pork. My bf liked the season short ribs, but I didn't like the small chunks of bone in them. Right before I finished my glass of water, I noticed that the bottom of the cup had specks of little black things, but when I looked at the bf's cup-he was in the clear. Perhaps I ate too much charred meat and didn't wipe my mouth often enough? :x Well, there were four of us and we found ourselves reaching maximum capacity so I tried to sneak a slice of tongue and a slice of beef home for our dog because why waste the perfectly good meat? As luck would have it-the server totally caught me :I LOL, he handled it fairly tactfully though because he came back later and asked if everything was okay...why did I have the scrunched up napkin on my lap? Rather than fess up and look like a total crazy dog lady-I told him that I had spilled. He quickly came back with some wet naps! Lessons learned? If you ask-they have wet naps. Don't bother trying to bring any food home to your furry friend-karma is a b!tch :p Ah, the things I do for my dog! Seriously, I don't know if I'd risk utter humiliation like that for my kids :p Any how, so feeling like an uber loser-I tossed my scrunched up treat for Benny into the pile with the wet nap. We tried as best as we could to finish our meats (I think we did a pretty good job). Somewhere between 5:30 PM (empty) to 7 PM the place got packed. When we were leaving, there was 1 party waiting...which is probably why the servers were circling our table like hawks, ready for us to leave. In all honesty, I was so excited to come here and feast on AYCE for $20. But having tasted the food, I don't think I would come back here again. The bottom line? My rating is more like a 2.5 so I rounded up to 3 stars. The reasoning? 2 stars = I've had better (Yes, I have) and 3 stars = A-OK (It probably is for most-just not me). PROS: open 24 hours! free validated parking, good service, big portions, cheap eats. CONS: quality/flavor of the meat is not spectacular, limited banchan. read more

If your a major carnivore, and want all types of meat galore to satisfy your taste buds and leave you walking out feeling like a ham, then Sikdorak is a great meaty "all you can eat" buffet without breaking your wallet in half. My wife & I usually go to Camillia's to get our "carnivore" dinner date on, but she was reading on her friends Yelp review about this place (yes, I am teaching her well on using the tools of Yelp lol) but it aIso made me remember a review I read awhile ago as well about this place & how they serve beef tongue, pork belly, brisket etc. So we decided, why not?! Took my wife awhile to find the place, so while I was snoring from the drive from Pearl City to Town, all I heard was "Ugh this is why I hate town! People don't know how to drive!, excuse me is this the building where Sikdorak is located?" as I peeked with one eye open the parking attendant blankly shook his head and pointed next door, "oh okay thanks!" as my wife zoomed around the parking lot, and took the exit to enter into the next, we finally found this place LOL! As we arrived we noticed that there were 2 other groups waiting before us, so we were 3rd in line & the host/server informed us that the wait would be at least 15-20 min, which wasn't so bad since we were coming on a Wednesday night, and reading reviews usually the weekends are pack! & I wouldn't doubt it! The wait was about 15 min and as we were seated, I prayed that we wouldn't be seated in the corner (hate feeling cornered or snugged in a tiny area) but to my surprised we were seated on the outside all the way in the back, which was perfect seating! I loved how everything was set up, with small bowls of kimchi and vegetables on the side of the table, and they're dish of 2 sauces for your meats and how the authentic Korean dine feel it had! Even though the place seems a bit snugged, it has a great vibe to it altogether. The meats! - Our order contained the following: Beef tongue - My wife looked at me with disgust, but she was a trooper for trying some, it wasn't her favorite but at least she tried lol as for me, I love bizarre foods! I will always try something at least ONCE! & if I like it? Why not get a whole shabang of tongue flappin my way?!! (Ha!) it's has a bit rubbery taste..like gizzards but it's absolute good (to my liking ofcourse) Seasoned Beef - flavorful to the extreme! This is what my wife said she will pay $20 for to eat unlimited! It was that good! A definite must order when you eat there! Pork Belly - make it extra crispy and you have authentic bacon fat heaven!!!! I'm definitely a sucker for this! Brisket - thinly sliced meaty yet fatty deliciousness! It's not only yummy in your pho soup! Overall, the food was phenomenal! The service was okay, they were a bit tied up, but they were ok with filling up our waters with a few friendly reminders! & they never offered if we wanted more rice or sides or whatnot until we asked for a refill, which is why this place lacks my last star! But I would definitely come back again to eat! Our bill came out to $44 for 2 people AYCE and 1 order of coke, with a $6 tip & $1 for parking - $51 total for the night! Which is not bad to us! I can honestly say the car ride back to home was a tad bit quiet..guess you can say we were STUFFED & SATISFIED! Haha! Plus it's 24 hrs? What's not there to be happy about?! Happy meaty eats yelpers!!!! read more

ALL YOU CAN EAT KOREAN BBQ FOR $21 I mean it does say $19.95 on their huge banners around their restaurant, but they just round it up with tax. I actually like that. I am not the type to carry change and normally would with just leave the coins and additional tip. Although people always say, "Quality over Quantity," I say, "Quality and Quantity." This place is just it. The meat is nice and red, which I assume is fresh. The rib eye is juicy and thick and their pork belly is mouth watering. I love how they bring out several of the choices you choose from there fairly decent list. I also like their kimchee/spicy paste they bring out for you to marinate your meats prior to bbqing. I love seafood and I just wish it was on their list of bbqing items. For service, I didn't have problem. Since you would normally come in a group, you would be too occupied and in a deep conversation so their lack of service is irrelevant. But once the meat is gone, that's when you need them to come. That one lady that I always see there is pretty good about checking up on you. She doesn't say a word, but you can see her walking around and peaking over your head to check if your meat plates are all empty. When they are she asks what else we would want. Any ways, If you are a meat lover and don't have gout, this is your place to feast!!!! I am sure anyone who loves meat and comes here with an empty stomach with definitely get more than their money's worth. Plus, they will get great quality and an unlimited quantity of meats to feast on :) I definitely want to starve myself for a few hours and come here to EAT!!! read more

Awesome, - ALL you can eat for $20!!! Meats are really good, thinly sliced and a variety of meat choices- some marinated. Yes there are just unseasoned meats but they give you sauces to flavor it or bean paste or kim chee to slap on it. A few of improvements could make this place perfect. 1.) Ban chan (sides)- need more varieties. 2.) Space- need to expand as it can be crowded and cramped in its small tiny hole in the wall place! 3. Parking- many shops with too little parking. You can park across at Walmart and if you like have a happy ending somewhere close by..... :) But really everything else is delicious, interactive, just love it!! read more

Mediocre AYCE Korean BBQ place. Maybe I've been spoiled while being in LA for a bit, but this place really missed the mark besides their lower-end prices. Seating is tricky- not a lot of tables and they are very tight without much leg room. I felt like I knew our table neighbors my whole life since I got to "enjoy" their conversation and we joked about getting our chairs whacked by the waitress (while passing behind us) whenever she tried to bring refills of the sides or meats. Meat quality and selection were not very good either. They weren't bad though. The seasoned pork and beef were definitely the best though. The stove is very old school and doesn't cook very well- spent a long time on brisket, which is usually fast. I also do wish they had the rice paper though for their sides. Overall not impressed and probably won't come back unless really craving AYCE Korean BBQ (especially since not many are here). read more

Korean ayce lunch for $14.95. The food was tasty and of good quality. The tofu kim chee soup was on the mild side when it comes to spice. Loaded with tofu bits of squid and clams. The spicy pork and chicken also on the mild side was good. Tried the seafood pancake, a first for me. Thought the seafood filling was plentiful but I didn't care for the texture. Sidorak is a hole in the wall at the Samsung Plaza. Clean, the service was good. I suggest you go on off hours cause I heard the lines are long and service suffers. read more

Sik Do Rak - Menu - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been here three times to date; twice as a post-bar drunkard and my most recent visit was with my lovely wife as a belated birthday celebration. GLEAN THIS (as no other review is as comprehensive): || Korean BBQ/Yakiniku || OPEN 24 HOURS || $19.99 +tax/adult all-you-can-grind || 7 different beef and pork meat selections || unlimited ban chan (or however you call those side dishes) || ask for lettuce AND rice || parking is validated but why not just park at Wal-Mart and walk your glutton ass over to work up an appetite There's a menu, but I've never looked at it. You shouldn't have to either, but if you do several items are priced at a discount between 12MN - 6 AM. In a sense, they're advocating the antithesis of Michelle Obama's nutrition recommendations (read: drink soju, get drunk, eat late, eat a lot, repeat). In a perfect world, I'd like to not be fat or genetically predisposed to HBP, diabetes and gout. With that said, I'll probably eat here quite a few more times in my lifetime and may end up keeled over the BBQ in the middle of the table, with my fat and jiggly stomach rolls hanging out all over the place. But, I've heard that burning human flesh has a titillating aroma; and that, my friends, is great for business. read more

OH YEAH!!! If you've been looking for an all you can eat meat place 24 hours a day, then look no further. THIS IS YOUR NEW PLACE!!! This is a Korean style yakiniku where you cook your own meat and veggies and what not. So you get your traditional side dishes and you tell them what kind of meat you want, which they will bring it out to you. You can choose from BBQ Chicken, Cow Tongue, Brisket, Kal-Bi (marinated and non-marinated), Spicy Pork, and one Rib Eye Steak. You can tell them half or whole order or something in between. It's also BYOB for those who like to drink a little while they eat. Personally I would rather save the room for more meat!!! :) Adults are $19.95 and Children under 12 is $16.95 so if you like good quality meat and can eat your fair share then this might be your favorite place when you want to get your carnivore on. read more

Update: This is pretty much our go to spot. And I have NO shame in carnivorous game! We have never eaten off their menu but it seems to be popular with the older asian crowd, they get take out all the time so it must be good! This review is strictly for their AYCE! Which is fantastic! Tips: Its better to come here before or after the dinner rush, before is before 6 PM and after is typically after 9. Weekdays and lunch are also less packed. Friday and Saturday nights are obviously much busier. Parking: Is a pain sometimes but if you are patient something will open up! Ambiance: Small space that has really improved over the past year and a half! There is seating for probably less than 40 people in the tiny space. The ventilation is ok, but not the best. It is loud and perfect for groups of 6 or less, 8 or more and you having issues with seating if you're okay with that. They re did their signs which is a nice touch! They do a great job at keeping the restaurant clean for as much foot traffic that they receive. Service: We have been coming to Sikdorak religiously now for the time we've been living on the island. There are stints of 2-3 days in a row that we would frequent this restaurant. The service has only gotten better as time has wore on, the staff is SO friendly and fast! The owner is SOO wonderful and their hospitality keeps us coming back time and time again. Our Favorites: Brisket, Rib eye, spicy pork and tongue. Everything is great but those are our favorites that never fail us. While the brisket and rib eye are NOT marinated, you cannot go wrong with the sheer quality of the meats! Most places give you flash frozen meats and their meats here are legit! When cooking the rib eye just cook quickly and eat med-rare since it is much more tender that way! Side dishes vary on the week, we have gotten lucky and received their chap chae, its AWESOME. Their kimchee also seems to change with the weeks, but it never disappoints. You can also ask for garlic/jalapenos to place on the grill, as well as lettuce to wrap the meat w/miso sauce in case you don't want the rice! I'm not sure why people say you can't order your own meats for AYCE, because when we get seated they always ask us what we want and only give us what we order, not a platter of random meats...... We love sikdorak! Keep an open mind and an empty stomach and you will NOT be disappointed. read more

All you can eat Yakiniku!!! I love coming to Sikdorak-- however, make sure that you go in small groups otherwise you'll be waiting forever for a table! This place is always busy and they do NOT take reservations. It is located on Keaumoku behind Ross. The parking lot is very small and the parking spaces are tight. Around dinner time, this place is a mess! I would recommend going later at night to avoid the crowds. When you first get there, you can let them know if you are doing "all you can eat" or ordering from the menu. Once you let them know you're doing the "all you can eat" then you can put in your first order of the meats. Be aware-- when you tell them the first order, they will bring you a LOT... Might be best to ask them for smaller portions so that you can try more things before getting too full. My faves are: pork belly and brisket! They also bring you the side veggies, rice and the salt/pepper dipping oil. So delicious!!!! read more

Carnivores do a happy dance! Prepare for meat sweats. Recommend going in casual clothes because you will reek of smoke & garlic, plus the oil spatters. AYCE for $20/person - how can you go wrong? Grill you own meat with unlimited side dishes & rice. We tried the rib eye, spicy pork, kalbi & pork belly/bacon. My favs were the rib eye & kalbi. My crew was into the spicy pork too. Got too much of the pork belly/bacon so will get a half order next time. You'll be cozy with your neighbors so you may want to keep any top secret talk on the downlow. Service is quick - be sure to use the button on the table for attention. For our few visits we have been lucky with parking & short wait - kismet. BTW BYOB. read more

A friend and I ate here a few nights ago after seeing a photo of the menu here on Yelp. It had mushroom pot stew, which apparently is hard to find at Korean restaurants. Well after waiting over 30 minutes for a table, we find out that the picture is from 2011 and either way outdated, or from an unrelated Sikdorak in Los Angeles (per the server.) Well now we're hungry and just decide to eat anyways. They only serve AYCE after 5pm, and few other things for lunch. The food was just alright, but the place and parking lot is so tiny and cramped. You share a row with another grill that can fit 4 people, but if they have to get out, its worse than being in the aisle seat in an airplane. They have to squeeze between you and the person sitting behind you in order to get out. The only pros I can think of is that open 24/7 and BYOB. read more

Sikdorak is one of my favorite Korean bbq places, their pork belly and tongue is my favorite. Only thing I dislike is that sometimes this location can have some rude workers . read more

Have read about this place for a few years, but always seemed to end up going back to our regular haunt (Gyu-Kaku). Tonight we were staying at Pagoda Hotel, so I wanted to eat somewhere walkable, wasn't in the mood to drive. Had read a lot of reviews on Yelp and it came down to here or Sorabol, but opted for here because I was in the mood to eat a lot of food (AYCE/all-you-can-eat). At $20 a head (was told 2 person minimum when asking for a menu cause the wife wasn't set on the AYCE). She was hungry too, so we chose the meat we wanted from the menu on the wall, and it was off to the races. I had read some reviews that the brisket was the onoest thing on the menu, and I have to agree. The seasoned beef came in second. The pork belly wasn't as good as I had hoped it to be, as I'm a huge fan of almost anything pork belly. The spicy pork was also a little not-so spicy, and sweet. Big slices too, so it fills you up. We ended up only eating the 4 meats, one bowl of rice, and 2 rounds of all banchan (kimchi, sprouts, zucchini, daikon and salad). Banchan was really good. The dipping sauces are also both good. The trays are small, but they refill them for you. One is a sweet yakiniku sauce you are used to, and the other is basically oil with salt in it- delicious. We will definitely be back here. It's cheaper than other AYCE joints (Camellia) and the quality of food much better. read more

After a late night watching a movie or out drinking and there are limited spots to eat in the middle of the night. Sik is the spot to grind all you can. Like what some of the other reviews say about refilling the side dishes its true. They refill the ban chans often. And it helps with taking in all that meat. I prefer to eat with green lettuce, which cost $5 more on top of the price for the AYCE. I don't mind, bc I'm trying to stay away from all the rice. We like the cow tongue, thin pork belly (gets crispy like bacon), beef brisket. There's a bunch more meats to choose from. But those are our top 3. BYOB but I think they don't allow alcohol after a certain time. We usually go after midnight because we watch the last showings at the movies. By the time the movie ends its after 1pm. At this time of the night there's the usual people coming off from work, drunk kids, and hungry fattys like us that are keeping the workers busy. Wait time to be seated is pretty quick. If your flame is low, ask the worker to turn it up. Don't do it yourself like I do lol. Get scoldings bumbai. And don't pour oil on the pan also. You'll cause a fire and get scoldings also hahaha. From experience. We'll probably visit this place this week if we end up catching a late night movie show. BACON!!! read more

My fiancé and I come here when we feel like eating Korean BBQ and we want MEAT! Although we love it here, I'm giving this place four stars just because they do get busy and even if they do try, the staff sometimes aren't the friendliest. It gets crowded also because it's gotten popular so space is limited. But the food is good. This place is a 24-hour ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT buffet where you cook your on food. They give you vegetables; bean sprouts, choi sum, kimchee, daikon, etc. and they're all pretty alright. You then choose and tell them what kinds of meat you want; rib-eye, pork belly, brisket, beef tongue, etc. We usually get the rib-eye, brisket, and pork belly, on occasion the short ribs, and if we're feeling adventurous that day, the beef tongue (which isn't as bad as it sounds). They taste good... Especially if they're dipped in the two types of sauces they give. One is, I believe, oil with salt and pepper and the other seems like a sweet shoyu based sauce. The price isn't bad per person, which is roughly $22 for adults and $19 for children ages 12 and under. It's a good place to eat if you're craving only meat. read more

$19.95 for all you can eat Korean Yakiniku. BYOB before 12am Open 24 Hours otherwise. Just go already! Unless I'm going, then wait so I can get a table. This place has about 6 tables but some can accommodate like 10 people so if you have a big party, you're okay coming here. The food is pretty good here, but you just have to cut the meat yourself, unlike some other Korean Yakiniku places. But for the price, I guess doing a little more labor than just cooking is required. Or you can just get someone to do all the cooking and cutting. Cherry! But I like to cook so I end up cutting as well. Free parking with validation in their lot (shared with a ton of other stores) and the lot parking stalls are tiny and usually crowded if you go at night. One more thing, you might want to go home and shower after this unless you like smelling like yakiniku, just saying. read more

Charged us extra for staying over 90 minutes. Didn't even give us a warning to let us know if we were close to the limit. Also the guy spoke korean and told the other server not to give us more meat. There were other people there who stayed just as long as us and heard they didn't get charged extra. It came out to about $5 each person. And they also asked for tip. read more

Sik Do Rak - Didn't give is more veggies and had to ask 3 times for rice, water, garlic - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Im going to start off with a little disclaimer- I am very much used to KBBQ in LA... Meaning, I am used to $12 AYCE KBBQ with quality meat. And alcohol. So to start, the restaurant is extremely small. I would not recommend you coming here in big parties, cus you will probably have to wait a reallllly long time. We waited probably 20 minutes before we were seated, and we were a party of 2. (But it was also around dinner time so I cant blame em) The meat quality was pretty good though. I mean, I didnt have any complaints on the meat. I actually like how they give out their meat plates in not-so-big amounts so it helps you gage the amount of meat you are eating and dont end up with a stomach ache. What I didnt like was how the tables are set up. We were seated against the wall and another party was right next to us. I feel like we did not get as good service because we were so tucked away. And all we wanted was side refills and more water! The side plates (especially the salad!!) was so small compared to other kbbq restaurants I have been to. That was no fun Brisket brisket brisket. My number one choice always and forever when it comes to korean bbq. We also tried the seasoned beef and the ribeye. The seasoned beef was delicious! The ribeye was too chewy I gave up on it while I was chewing... Another downside is that this place is $20. So expensiiiive compared to what Im used to!!!! I know a lot of Hawaii kbbq places are around that price tho. Oh well, gotta do what you gotta do. Open late night *thumbs up* read more

Two thumbs up! Pros: Good service-servers always come by to ask if you want more and they change the grill often for you. Variety of meat. Huge meat portions. There are also other side dishes available at reasonable prices if you're not a meat lover. Cons: Not the best quality of meat but worth it for the price ($20 all you can eat for adults). Not a variety of banchan (Korean side dishes). Spicy pork is not spicy at all. Long wait and no seats outside. Tiny place. Btw you'll leave smelling strongly of kbbq! read more

AYCE Korean BBQ...$19.95 per person Ok, so I came here on a Saturday night with my son hoping to get a table, but ended up leaving after they told us that the wait would take from 40-50 minutes to get seated. So sad and disappointed! Today, we decided to do a late lunch at 2:00 PM and there were very few tables occupied so we got a table right away. So happy and satisfied! We ordered the brisket, beef tongue, marinated shortrib and pork belly. The meats were so good! We loved the marinated shortribs and pork belly so much we ended up asking for a second set. Their grills aren't very well heated so it takes a while to cook the meat so just be aware of that. Their banchans only consisted of a salad, kimchee, caramelized potatoes, & cooked bean sprouts. Though limited in their selections, we continuously asked for their salads because it was so simple and tasty. We probably had about 6-7 small plates, but the servers still didn't give us a hard time about it. Service was very attentive. They came by to ask us if we needed more meat multiple times, refill our water and of course our salad. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys eating meat or Korean BBQ. We will definitely plan to come again real soon! read more

How can you turn down "ALL YOU CAN EAT" yakiniku?! Especially for the price of $23.95?! That's a deal! My family and I always go to sikdorak when we decide to pig out. We never do get disappointed! We go at least once every 2-3 weeks that the workers remember us already! Haha! The food is delicious! They give you different sides while you're cooking your meats! One of my favorite sides is their salad! The sauce that they top on it is so yummy! I always ask for about 2-3 refills of their salad! LOL. They also have different variety's of meats. They have pork belly, brisket, cow tongue, steak, and marinated short ribs & chicken. I personally love their brisket, it's so thin and soft! Their pork belly is so good! The trick is to burn it! To the point that it'll look like bacon! The workers are very friendly! They will always make sure that you're doing OK and will refill your water constantly. They clean your grill right before it gets bad. There are normally 2 people working but they are very fast and great at multitasking. Believe me once you try this place you will get hooked. You can thank me later. read more

This place is always consistent to me with attentive service and yummy food ^__^ my experience always depends on who I go with here so always go with a fun group! Lucky for me, my group had a great gay guy who knew how to cook ;) Came here on a somewhat late Wednesday night and it was still pretty packed O_O not that long of a wait thank goodness. We got the short rib, rib eye, brisket, bbq chicken, cow tongue, and pork belly (YUM). I always love eating the sides :3 especially the potato salad, beansprouts, kimchi, and lettuce :3 but this time I tried to stay away from eating too much of it because I always get full too quick ;( my friend had two great suggestions, maybe three about coming here. His first one is to ask the server for some miso paste and the red spicy paste. Mix the two together and you have a great sauce for dipping your meat in! It's a change from the usual shoyu or salt pepper oil sauce they provide for you :3 I will definitely keep that in mind next time I come ^___^ his second suggestion was to grill the kimchee. Never thought about that but I actually liked it :oo it gives off a nice char to the kimchee and adds more flavor. His third suggestion or his favorite thing to do is to cook the pork belly until it shrivels up and becomes super duper crispy xD basically turn it into bacon. Idk why but it never occurred to me to do that O_O He made one for me and it was good xD so good that I was gonna grab another one off the grill but he used the tongs to hit my chopsticks and told me to back off LOL whoops This place is pretty worth as long as you eat your weight in meat x) and gots some great company to be with ^_^ read more

Sik Do Rak - Always Frech??? - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

In the foreign land of Koreamoku, the hungry haole treads cautiously with a band of Korean food-sherpas... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=fh2QGwkPa5nv48xY-eIuSw 'Koreamoku' has got to be one of the undiscovered culinary gems of downtown. I don't know if it's the awesome parking from Wal-Mart or what. I mean you have Goma Ichi, City Cafe, Ireh, Orine Sarang Che, Michinoku and a zillion more in a 3 block radius... are you hungry yet??? So I was invited here for dinner with some friends who know about good Korean food (read: Koreans). This place is apparently great for cheap lunch specials (4$ naeng myun??) and it's a late-night spot as well (4 AM!) There's menu specials for the lunch and late-night times separate from the dinner items. There's about 12 tables equipped with grills and about 1/2 the people were grilling these MONSTER pieces of steak (seriously, one table just put an entire porterhouse on their grill, uncut) and pork belly. You're almost shoulder to shoulder with some folks but there's about 3 servers running around and service was pretty good. Ban chan was tasty but ordinary- my standard for 'good' ban chan is Million. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=pzS9WT8zR1fcDZu82XjlJw Lots of people were getting the naeng myun, and the two at my table got the bone soup(which had no bones in it), which had a lot of simmered beef and tendon in a milky broth with chives and green onions. You get a side of grey salt and hot bean paste to add to it as well and my friends put a bunch of their rice into it too. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=fIQdSVo3CyOSda6R3-DDwA I got the spicy stir fry octopus which was AWESOME. It's not just stir-fried, they grill the octopus and the veggies over coals and then stir fry them, so they have an amazing smoky taste from the char-grilling! On the 1-10 scale of hotness I give it a 6 (needed repeat water refills). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wka6eg4cG8zqwr6ABraFtA?select=WsDtyjnHEFk5dlWGjt-4iA I really liked this place and would go again for sure to try out their more exotic dishes! read more

I took my brother to Sikdorak this past Friday night (25 JAN 2013) since he's never been there before. This was only my 2nd time here. Just like last time, we left as early as possible from Salt Lake. i think it was a little after 4:30pm. Got to Sikdorak at about 5:15pm Service was great! Just like last time. They changed our grill out frequently and were very attentive. We got 3 orders of meats total. That last one, we barely finished. I was pretty full in the middle of that 3rd plate of meat. I think the first order we had brisket and ribeye. The second was spicy pork, seasoned short rib, and more brisket. The third was more spicy pork, seasoned short rib, and brisket. Next time, I will ask them to reduce the size of the meat they bring out. On that last plate of brisket, they really hooked it up LOL Can't wait to go back to Sikdorak! Maybe next time I'll BYOB instead of drinking water =) read more

You can't beat the all you can eat deal, $20! This includes sides (kim chee, bean sprouts, potato, salad, etc.) and rice. The meats include a whole rib eye steak (more about that later), chicken, boneless kalbi, pork belly, beef brisket, spicy pork. The stars: spicy pork, very tender and nice kick, not too spicy. Boneless kalbi - again very tender, good seasoning. The so-so: chicken, beef brisket thin sliced very well but a little tough. Avoid - pork belly unless you plan on cooking it till it's crispy. Whole rib eye is very disappointing, as the grade of the beef is not good. You can tell that it's not a good cut, no marbling at all... but what can you expect for $20? The beef is very chewy... suggest that you try only one piece to see how it is, plus they limit you to one per person. Another tip, try to come here before 5:30PM for dinner if not, you may have wait for 30 minutes. Recommended! read more

Like the others have said, don't expect the best quality of meat but it's not all bad. We had marinated kalbi (good), spicy pork (very good), pork belly (don't get it), and ribeye (good). There's practically no ventilation so don't wear your Sunday best! The sauces and ban chan aren't the best. I also saw a waitress splash some raw meat juice on the floor which gave the place an overall ghetto-charming feel. But for $20, it's an excellent value especially for big eaters. read more

At first I wasn't feeling this place. The hosts seemed like they were stand offish and didn't want to serve me. But then when we sat down the service was pretty awesome. The woman became an Auntie and started cooking for us. Some people may not like that because they want to just enjoy their meal, but for me I liked the additional care and love. We were here during the lunch special so the selection of meat wasn't the best. The quality of meat I would consider above average. Overall it was a good meal with awesome service. read more

Sikdorak is one of my favorite all you can eat yakiniku places! It's a small space, but for the price, this is pretty good. Likes: Price; $20 for AYCE! Free parking (if you can find any). Open 24 hours. Dislikes: Service can suffer if they get crowded. You need to speak up and be prepared to ask again if you want something refilled. Place is small so you might have to wait to get seated, and when you do, you might get seated next to a stranger. Also, no skirt steak :(. Favorites: Pork belly, dipped in the sesame oil. If I'm ever feeling boring, I'll get just this. This isn't the best quality meat but for the price and the quantity, I'll be coming back for more! read more

Sik Do Rak - Meats! All you can eat - Korean Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Coming from the big island I've never been to a yakiniku restaurant. The first time I went to sikdorak, I was amazed to find out that it was all you can eat for $20. I've been to guy-kaku which wasn't bad during happy hour, but all you can eat for $20? I'm sold. They have about 10 different meats to choose from. My boyfriend and I always get pork belly, tongue, brisket, and rib eye. The pork belly is always good. They're not so thick so they cook fast. Tongue quality has slowly been going down since they brought it back. The brisket and ribeye are always spot on though. We've gotten bbq chicken and that's okay. We used to always get the spicy pork but I've gotten over it. They always come with some sides. Although they vary day to day. I don't like their kimchee. A lot of the times it tastes spoiled to me. I love the bean sprouts whenever they have them though. And they're all refillable. The service isn't amazing especially when they're busy. They change your grills but you have to flag them down when you want anything else. Wait time is usually 30 minute a on a busy night. Parking is in the samsung plaza. They are open 24/7 which is great. My boyfriend I have gone as late as 1 in the morning and as early as 6. read more

What's not to like about this place? Its open 24 hours, has some awesome yakiniku, and all you can eat! How many of you watch Korean Dramas? Oh come on . . . I know there's millions of you K-Drama addicts out there! What am I getting at, you ask? Ok so here's the deal ... If you've never watched one, just do it. I can guarantee you will see places like Sikdorak at least 15 times in one of them. With that being said, Sikdorak is an amazing place!! The staff was very warm and inviting (not like some other places we've visited - see my upcoming review on So Gong Dong) It did help that I had my 3 year old son with me. They were teaching him Korean words and giving him so much attention. One thing I can say, eating here is an experience. Pay attention to the rules and trust me ... They have rules. And rightfully so! They charge for gluttonizing (order what you think you can eat first!) any leftovers will have an additional fee. This is not your regular take out - the items are raw! Must have a minimum of 2 people in order to utilize the wonderous grill, and you must limit your time there to 90min or you'll be charged what I like to call a "park your ass fee," excuse my language. They value all of their customers and if you are gonna sit there and chat while they lose out on prospective customers, then hey, they're gonna charge you for it! Some people think the bbq buffet fee is steep, its priced at about $20 per adult and kids are discounted. With the amount of food MY kids can eat, this was not steep at all. Other than that, let us move to the ever fabulous menu ... Beef tongue. I don't care how squeamish you are TRY IT! You will be amazed at how tasty this piece of meat is. The texture is so good, and its sliced thinly into a round pepperoni shape of fabulousness. Takes a milisecond to cook it and Wala! Happy taste buds. Next, Pork. No contest. Get it, eat it, done. They give you a little serving dish that has 2 sauces. Dip your grilled meat in that and live happily ever after ... For the night anyway. For the price it really is awesome. By the end of our lunch we went through 3 trays of beef tongue, one tray of chicken, 2 trays of pork, and many side refills. I have 2 teen daughters that eat like men, you have no idea. One thing I've learned going to several Korean restaurants, they like it when you're not embarassed or shy. They want you to order your little heart out and tell them exactly what you want when you want it! This includes the sides ... Hello? Sides? Holy shizznoli's you have no idea ... About 5 different sides, including, of course, kimchi! Steamed veggies, and pickles! Soooo scrumptious, trust me, they'll make you full in no time. Make the effort, go eat here. For a smooth experience, I reccommend going a little later like at 1:00pm after the rush. at night they are always always busy. I plan to venture back there to try some of their other dishes, but for now, I'm telling you all to get there and try some great Korean bbq. You'll not regret it and your happy and content belly will thank you!! read more

Delicious restaurant! The work ethic of the staff is amazing! Authentic homey seating

I LOVE yakiniku, so this place was on my list to try for awhile. My bf and I came here on a Saturday night at about 2am (we couldn't sleep and we were hungry haha). We were lucky that although there were quite a bit of people in there, 2 tables opened up and we got seated immediately. BANCHAN: they gave us banchan (Korean side dishes) that included: bean sprouts, spicy cucumber, Kim chi (really good), and Mac salad. My bf and I ate the cucumber pretty fast, and the server quickly brought over another one. THE MEAT: we ordered pork belly, brisket, and seasoned short rib. My favorite was definitely the brisket, but everything else was pretty good too. The only thing is that the short rib comes in big pieces and you have to use scissors to cut it into smaller pieces (and the scissors is a little dull) also, TIP: if you can't finish the meat, do not cook it!!! They took back unfinished uncooked meat that we couldn't finish with no charge. However, if you cook it and don't eat it, they will charge you SERVICE: overall, service was very good! The two young men were friendly, kept our water filled, and ensured we had enough sauces for our food (one is a sweet dark sauce, the other is sesame oil with a salt seasoning) For around $23 per person, this place is a good place if you are really hungry. However, with the price, you aren't getting the best quality meat, but the price and AYCE aspect makes it worth coming here. read more

I took a break from Sikdorak for several years wanting to avoid this Keeaumoku block due to a hit and run that I witnessed. However, when my home girl came back from Seattle and wanted to go here, of course I had to go! Going back here... it's as if nothing changed. The layout, decor, plates, smell of the food was all the same. And the food.... I enjoyed the food as much as I did before. Some people rant about quality or service, but for an AYCE for about $20? I could care less about the service as long as I'm getting the food and my grill changed regularly. Despite coming in with a large group, we were treated very well and the service was attentive. I'm definitely coming back. Like man, if I'm wanting straight up meats, I'm coming back! read more
