    We ordered 18 pieces of honey cheddar. The snow chicken looked good too. We also ordered some mild rice cakes. We waited 20 minutes by going shopping next door at the Korean market. Couldn't be more pleased. Chicken was piping hot. Rice cakes were fried and then dipped in mild sauce. Never had it that way but it was very good!

    Spicy "bone in" chicken with mini mandoo
    Leilani N.

    Food - chicken was yummy, just the perfect amount of spice. Corn was meh, tasted like it list came out of a can. The mini mandoo was good. It would have been better with a dipping sauce but it didn't come with any. Is it just me that love mandoo with dipping sauce? Well, I thought it was a mistake so I went up to the counter. The lady said it doesn't come with sauce and if I wanted sauce it'll be $1. Wait , what?! No, thank you. The cost of 2 plates plus tip came up to almost $30 and not even a small container of dipping sauce? -1 star Service- the lady at the counter wasn't too friendly. She just got off the phone taking an order. Maybe she was tired? An after thought for me, "I should have just ordered at the kiosk" to avoid the unfriendliness. When I went up to ask for the dipping sauce, there was no one at the front and there were a few people waiting. I could see the lady and another younger lady behind the curtain. No acknowledgment, no "we will be right with you", no "thank you for your patience" -1 star Ambiance- when you walk in from their "main door", it's literally an area for you to stand in line (if there was a line). The tables and chairs are shared in a common area with other food venues. This is all inside the Asian market. There's the Mexican place, which I want to try next time and there's also a Korean place. There were maybe 6 tables with 4 chairs each. There was a counter with 4 chairs. It was a bit warm sitting there, you can't feel the AC much. Out of their control so keeping the stars at 3. Would I come here again? Maybe. If I did, I'd come for only the chicken. $12.99 for a chicken plate with 4 bone in chicken pieces, rice, bland corn, and two mini mandoo without dipping sauce OR $17.99 for 10 pcs of chicken.

    I got 3 of the most popular ones.

    Service is good, the place is small just remember that they cook as you order. I placed my order and was told 20 minutes then found out my grandson and his friend was at the house so I ordered more food and that's another 20 min. Their chicken was good.

    CRISPY SWEET CHILI CRISPY HONEY BUTTER RICE CAKE FRIES
    taigarose

    My experience here is always really good. The food is amazing and I always get the honey butter chicken. The kimchi fried rice and the bottom chicken is not from here but from a Korean restaurant in H-mart. Make sure to phone order if you don't want to wait!

    Half order of garlic chicken and kimbap

    I went today to pick up half order of their Honey butter wings. I prefer their dry rubs and this one was so good! Truly hits the spot! It's mix between savory and a bit sweet! I also ordered regular fries to go too. Fries were ok but the wings were delicious!

    Wow. So good.

    Wow. Really great wings. Super great service. Located in HMart food court. Lots of tables. Clean.

    NEW PRICING as of 3/20/25
    Noelani C.

    Wings are always perfect. Our favorite is SNOW and GARLIC. Always call ahead because it can take 20+ minutes. Prices increased recently, so it's definitely just a splurge now.

    This is what I ordered.

    SLOW SERVICE!!! I placed my order at just after 5 pm. I showed up at 5:30 to pick up and I was told would be another 10 min. I could see in the back a huge pile of wings that needed only to be seasoned so I was surprised I needed to wait. Oh well no worries. 20 min later my order was still not ready. I live 5 min away so once I did receive my order I was shocked that my wings were cold. This was my second time having them. First time was amazing. I'll give them another try but at the prices they charge, I shouldn't have had cold wings.

    I have found my new favorite place for wings! This place imo has wing stop beat hands down! We stopped by tonight Wednesday, 3/9/2022 around 6:30 or so. There was no line and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I told him it was my 1st time there and he made a suggestion of their most popular item the #2 crispy shoyu wings. Sold!! I also wanted to try some other menu items so I ordered the regular mini mandoo, #6 crispy honey butter wings, regular fries, and radish. I was going to order a boneless chicken plate as well but was told that they were out of rice and boneless chicken, oh well maybe next time. Everything came out hot and fresh in about 20 minutes. The takeout container for the fries isn't ideal as there is no cover, it's simply a paper boat with aluminum foil inside and the fries on top. Honestly after tasting the fries I didn't ever care, needless to say they never made it home, lol. My husband and I devoured them all in a matter of minutes! They were so crispy and hot that when we were done I regretted not ordering 2. The chicken was amazing! I enjoyed both flavors but prefer the shoyu. The chicken is as the name states crispy and the inside is tender and juicy. The mini mandoo were also delicious and a great deal. I would definitely come back to try other flavors and get more fries but I just found out that they opened a location in Mililani Town Center, which is so much closer to home, so I might be writing my review for that location next hehehe.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and air conditioned, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your meal. The staff is efficient and gets the job done, although they come across a little like young efficient robots--polite enough, but not much personality or warmth. My only real issue is the price. It is hard for me to justify spending $17+ for a plate with just a few pieces of boneless chicken and some sides. If the prices were a little more reasonable, or the portions included a bit more chicken, I could justify a 5-star rating. For now, it is a solid 4 stars based on the cost-to-value ratio. The food is good enough that I would still come back once in a while.

The wings, catfish, tots, and pickles were all fried to perfection, lightly battered and crispy. Wings were cooked through but not dry (which is hard to do). Unfortunately the catfish was really soft and watery inside the crunchy batter. So the overall texture wasn't pleasant. And the wing sauces we tried (hot and sweet heat) tasted like they were from a bottle. I was hoping for a more distinct or unique flavor. Seems to be a popular spot as there were lots of customers in and out while we were there. Overall the food was good, but not great.

The oxtail was very fatty and the actual portion of meat was small. One bone was tough and gristly. They could have cooked it a bit longer. The restaurant is large and there was a fairly long line at opening! I recommend placing your order online ahead of time.

Then we got 40 wings one of the new sauces is sweet Chili crisp. So good. Our waitress was the best no one went with a low glass or napkins. The appetizers were bottomless so when they would get low she was there asking what else she could get us. The pearl ridge wild wings used to have a large bar inside but it seems they took that out and made more seating which makes the place look that much bigger. So many TVs there not a bad seat in the house.

Service was atrocius and the food was fair. I've never had a rude server since Tao Restaurant in Las Vegas back in 2009, and this was the second time. I've never had a server shout at me with a frown on her face, saying "WHAT???" (it happened twice during our meal). I mean, come on, the music is loud, but don't yell at me from across the table with a frown. Also, do not say "Well as you can see, I've got my hands full!" when I ask for a refill politely. Also, do not walk past one of your three tables that you are waiting without looking down or making eye contact. It also looks bad when you are standing against the wall talking constantly with your co-worker instead of waiting on tables. Do not get the "endless" appetizers at this location as long as you have the waitress that we had, you will not get your money's worth, which makes me think this is Buffalo Wild Wing's ploy on cutting costs, which is a horrible idea, because destroying your brand by having poor service likes this warrants reviews like this. This was almost a two-star review until the service knocked it down into the dirt, especially since the last rude wait staff I've had was in 2009, which was 17 years ago. I am not generous with one-star reviews, so that should be revealing. Will not return to this location ever again.

Ordered by phone the day prior, and just gave them my phone number as usual (it's how they identify you when you pick up, with no worries about duplicate or misspelled names.). Every time I've ordered in advance, our order has always been packed neatly and ready in a box for takeout. (My brother had brought a box just in case, and smoothly offered it to their staff for someone else's future order.) The restaurant has several tables for dining in, and markings on the floor for those waiting in line. It's brightly lit and clean as well. I appreciate their staff, food, service, and generous servings. They make us look so good with our potluck contributions! So what did we order? Half chicken katsu, half chicken wings, a small platter ($45 for the small pan, but picture a much loaded tray) - it's a great value deal! It was the same order our cousins loved when we brought it on Christmas Day (they especially love the wings, but we love the katsu-so this year we asked for half-half instead of all katsu, and they were so happy, ha ha!) Oh, and they give you a nice big container of yummy katsu sauce;)! I like their panko and cooking method, as whatever they do, the chicken is nice and crisp, and tasty - with, or without the sauce, actually. First time that I actually tried the wings, as I'm not a wing person. (I didn't even try it at Christmas, lol.). But, it was nice and crisp, lightly seasoned, and the wings had lots of meat on them. Easy finger food, and they were not dripping in oil, either, which I appreciated! Also ordered (for the first time) a small platter of chicken chow mein (a little over $30?). It was based on a good recommendation by an admittedly biased family member of the owners, and we were pleasantly surprised! The small pan was covered in wrap and then foil, because the mound of noodles was seriously kinda big! My brother was like, quick, go tell mom to come look before we open it (as she's picky, so it's hard to impress her). It was filled with lots of veggies (sliced carrots, cabbage, onions, etc) and bbq chicken pieces, tossed with great flavor (I want to say it was a nice sauce, but this wasn't a wet noodle dish.). My dad added Chinese mustard soy sauce, but my mom and I thought it was perfect the way it was. Oh, don't laugh, we're only a family of four, so yes, we ate two meals - lunch and dinner - and still packed a ton of leftovers! As we watched the game, we commented to each other what great choices we had made. (We also had sushi trays and other treats, and of course, chips, and my brother's dip. My brother said we may not have had a favorite team to cheer on today, but it was a great excuse for a party, ha ha!) I know we're doing a repeat for our next occasion, for sure! We'll gradually try some of their other foods, and it's farther away than we'd like to drive (I know, it's not that far, but we live on the other side, ok?). My brother agrees it's worth the drive - it's across Aloha Stadium and literally in the same spot as Ice Palace; and we saw quite the line at the Taco Bell drive through when we were looking for parking;). He also compared it to the cost and serving size of what we ordered on New Year's, from a restaurant much closer to where we live. Hands down, it was not even a close comparison, his emphasis added. So go here, it's perfect for family dinners and potlucks and I hope you agree with my assessment;)! Oops, I didn't take any pictures, aiya!!!
