    Tasty special and mini meat Jin
    Trix Q.

    There are great options to choose from and the veggies sometimes vary. Staff is excellent and always nice. The atmosphere has a good old local dinner feel. Located within a mall so there are plenty of seating inside and out. It is CASH only.

    For years I've been going to tasty BBQ even when I moved from Mililani, the Place is still one of my favorite places to go for Korean food, I love their special plate but today I went light and got a mini plate but I just love the vegetables and the taste of the food before I was used to Dong Yang in wahiawa another childhood memory place but this is my spot from High School till now, service is always excellent, fast and a great takeout place if you got to go, it's mellow not to noisy, I love it there and if you never know you need to go

    Mandoo kook soup
    Lauren D.

    They serve a lot of food for the price, which is nice. Food is pretty tasty. I usually get the meat jun plate but today decided to try their mandook soup and it was delicious!! So tasty, albeit very salty. Service is pretty quick and they have some indoor benches and tables to dine at, thought you order at the counter.

    Regular combo- meat Jun and bbq chicken with mac salad, potatoes, kimchi and cold noodles
    Jennifer S.

    Talk about the biggest plate ever!!! It's my birthday and we've got a lot going on. My husband said the least we can do is grab lunch. Korean food sounded delicious so after running some errands we dropped by. Walked in and ordered at the counter and paid. There's seats and tables to eat there but we had to run home so opted to take to go. We ordered one mini kalbi, regular combo with meat jun and bbq chicken for my daughter to share and then a side mandoo. Food was ready in no time and it was piled high. The mini plate came with 2 side dishes and the regular came with 4. Our bag was so heavy and the food could barely survive the Togo container. Got home and we were super hungry but we barely put a dent in our regular plate! My husband enjoyed his plate and happy to say, we'd definitely come back. The sides were my favorite but I'd probably skip the kimchi next time. Not as flavorful as I had hoped.

    Kimchi soup meal (mild meant cabbage not kimchi I guess)
    Jason Y.

    There was no dine in option but at least there's tables outside. Food takes s lil bit to make, but not too long of a wait. Quantity of food is great, but flavor is kinda lacking. Vegetable sides were a little disappointing as they were a bit bland. Our mistake asking for a mild kimchi soup as it ended up coming out clear. At least we were able to get a small sauce from them to add in after. For the prices you'll pay, probably best to walk 50ft and get better options at Mililani BBQ.

    BBQ Beef
    Reef A.

    Been coming here for years but never left a review. Most customers usually takeout here although there are a few tables to sit. It's a simple casual no frills place. I usually get the BBQ Beef and you can substitute rice to get the 5th side order. Food tastes good and portions are generous. This place is popular so you know the food must be good. The counter is usually well staffed so service is quick. Never had any complaints about food or service except that they accept cash only. It's good that they give the total price upfront when you make a phone order and tell you it's cash only. Parking for this shopping center is large but many times is full. Always a good spot to get Korean food in Mililani and the prices are reasonable compared to the nearby Korean restaurant across the courtyard.

    We missed the Korean/Hawaiian Fusion barbeque when we left the Island in 2012. Tasty was one that we frequently visited for lunch as we worked nearby. It was not my favorite, but after this visit it moved to #1 as the other ones took a serious step backwards in quality & taste. Tasty was Tasty, from my fish Jun to my wife's soup and all the sides. The Staff was friendly, and there is seating inside & out. Clean dining area. Definitely #1 out of the four we revisited on our Island Homecoming.

    Kalbi
    Van K.

    I eat here way too often It's something about that Kalbi, that bbq chicken, the way they scoop your 3-4 banchan choices, the way the Mac salad mixes with the white rice, that pickled daikon and carrot is top tier. This place is cash only! It has enough seating but I usually just bring it outside to sit on one of the tables provided. Awesome staff, and it's nice to see younger folks working. Nice job Tasty for employing our youth!

    Meat jun and BBQ chicken combo
    Donny S.

    Not worth it for the price. Meat in the meat jun was very thin and batter hard. Chicken was in big chunks with bone and over cooked so was tough. The sides were the saving grace but not worth the price. Lots of stuff piled around the chairs so not a good place to eat either.

    Meat jun plate
    Gail U.

    Enter, place your order and choose your sides. If you don't take rice you can sub it for another side. We like to add on their tempura or shoyu potatoes, daikon or seaweed, tofu or Choi sum and cucumber kimchee. Tonight we asked for cabbage kim chee also. Their special plate is enough for two people with kalbi, chicken, bulgogi and a mandoo. With the sides it's just enough so you're not stuffed. The taste is good and not overly sweet. Since the sides are already prepared the wait time for your order isn't too long.

    Kalbi plate . No rice , 5 choices of sides

The Tempura combo is still great, the Tempura fat and crispy but airy, meatjun was plentiful. Could even be enough to take home but I was very hungry. Bibimbap was a generous portion and had a offering of rice, green salad, bean sprouts, beef, and egg. Banchan was plentiful and you can always get refills. The Restaurant is a good size, there are maybe 10 booths but the ceiling was leaking so there were paper towels and buckets all over the floor, really couldn't help it bc the recent storms really did a number the last two weeks. Still, be careful as water was dripping on both the tables and seats. I did notice a bit of phone orders... like phone constantly ringing. The Owner still pleasant answering everyone and tending to us. Though we did have a great visit, we may do take out next time.

My other half said this was the best spicy pork he has ever had. It's incredibly flavorful and a must-try. I ordered Kalbi on our second visit to satisfy a craving. It was super yummy with just the perfect amount of char. We also absolutely loved the meat jun and fish jun, those will definitely be our go-to orders from now on! The sides change daily, so it's a fun surprise to see what you get. Everything we tried appealed to all our taste buds, not one complain here.

I do a lot of errands and run a portion of my life in TC so to have this location is convenient for me. I know I shouldn't be eating this all the time, but I love it for when I don't want a full meal. I do miss the old food place that was in here, but at least when it left it provided a great, clean dine-in area for Mr. Cow. Honestly, as far as service, I don't know how to mess this up. You just take my order and then call my number when it's ready. I do notice that they may be the ones cooking it as well, but it's good to know that's how simple these hot dogs are. Overall, it's hard to mess this food up so it makes sense how it's able to expand so fast. Wouldn't be surprised if this place is a franchise. I also really appreciate that it has dippin' dots as well which is a great contrast to the food and there's not many dessert places out there. Or just many dippin' dots vendors out there in general.

What you also need to be mindful is that they do have a condiment station with six different sauces that you can bougie up your bite is a very nice offering though I did enjoy my bite as is and it was cooked perfectly and definitely filled me up to satisfy me until dinner.
