My previous reviews are for when this establishment was Sikdorak II. Always loved this spot because it wasn't too busy and everything was great. However they have since renamed under Yakiniku Cho Dang and it's not the same. Stopped in not realizing the name change nor was it even updated on Yelp yet. The prices went up, understandable but the quality of food and service was disappointing. The poor experience and change in meat taste/quality significantly impacted our view of this spot and not planning on coming back.

Excellent Food, Great Service, Awesome Service . We enjoyed our dinner tonight and will definitely be coming back.

Came here for my husbands birthday he was craving Kbbq. The prices are very affordable and they give generous servings of the sides. We really enjoyed the meat selections and amble amount of sides. It is BYOB but they also have Pepsi products. The service was great. The wait staff was very attentive. Our choices were brought out smoothly. It was a weekday night so it wasn't very busy.

Aloha braddah Gavin! He held down the fort and served up a great experience at Yakiniku Cho Dang. People remembered this spot as the old SikDoRak location. The service was on point today. Took our order quickly and we got everything as requested. Food was prepared well and tasted good.

Sikdorak!

I'm a townie, but love coming to the Kaneohe Sikdorak location. To start, they have many great meat options here. I love to order the thin pork belly, brisket, & honeycomb pork belly (they don't have this at the town location)! My boyfriend & I specifically come to this location so we can order the honeycomb pork belly. Service wise, the workers are efficient, but there can sometimes be a long wait if you go during their busy dinner hours. Ambiance wise, they usually play really good music (another reason why I love coming here) & it's pretty clean for the most part. If you're in the mood for AYCE KBBQ, I would definitely recommend you check out Sikdorak!

Good meats the service is fast even a button for service to be called. The all you can eat is 1 hr just remember that

Soo I'm waiting, says it's open at 11am... But the restaurant is completely dark and no one is around.

I ended up ordering the beautiful pulled pork nachos, which were fantastic made with an excellent brilliant taste and cheese sauce, which they make on site themselves and also utilizes it in the macaroni and cheese.

So go to leave and the owner is there in his big white diesel truck blocking the 1 way to leave. So I give a Lil tap of the horn to let him know I'm there. I attempt to then turn around to go backwards out of the 1 way and it was not safe, so I come back through and am waiting behind the truck again. Another man comes out and says, "he's waiting for someone," okay, I respond with a smile, can he pull up so I can leave? Kid relays the message. Owner aggressively slamms on gas spinning out the tires. As I'm pulling through, the kid scolds, "this isn't a roundabout. " I said yea, I'm a customer. I thought you were open. He goes well "We aren't so leave" motioning with his arm. I guess the bummer part, is I really like this place. The food is good. But I won't help companies who are shit to others.

I especially love the sweet potato waffle fries, that are now offered on the HH menu. The candied pork belly and fish and chips are two of my new favorites.

I ordered it as a take-out, and it was provided in two separate containers; one with the rice and pickled veggies and the other holding the spare ribs with a ton of sauce. There actually was too much sauce, and I suggested that they reduce the amount so it doesn't overwhelm the overall dish. The flavor is really good, and what you'd expect of you crave that sweet, tangy flavor. Another new favorite for my list.

Adela's is a small, take-out order only place, but extremely busy. We phoned in the order ahead of time and the wait time was about 45 mins. We got the Sweet Potato Noodles with Garlic Butter and Lechon. Gracious, it was delicious. Worth every penny. The lechon was crispy, tender, and flavorful. The noodles had the perfect texture and paired flawlessly with the garlic butter. We also got Okinawan Sweet Potato Poi Bread, but this unfortunately was blown out of the water by the noodles.

She seemed like she was not too fond of tourists at all. To make things worse, there is no indoor seating. Since we were so far from our hotel, we ended up having to eat the food in our car. The food itself had massive highs and lows. The Lechon Pork Belly was amazing and delicious. I wish it had a few more purple onions, but the meat itself was a solid 10/10. However, the Garlic Butter Shrimp was horrible. It was probably the worst I have had in a very long time. The large photos on the actual menu inside the restaurant show large, unpeeled shrimp. What we actually got was small, already-peeled shrimp that tasted more like freezer burn than actual garlic butter. The service issues continued when I picked up the food. I noticed my Coke was missing and asked for it. The lady handing out the food asked the cashier if I had been charged for a soda, and the cashier said no. I know for a fact I paid for it after doing the math myself. There were other people waiting in line behind me, so I just said forget it, took my food, and left. Go for the pork belly, but skip the shrimp, double-check your receipt, and prepare for a cold shoulder at the counter.
