I was craving all you can eat yakiniku and thought that this was still Sikdorak. I decided to give this place a shot since I was so hungry. Our server was a sweet, friendly girl. We ordered our meats (brisket, jowl, and thin pork belly) and we were honestly disappointed. The meats were pretty fatty and tough. I was really disappointed with the quality. I would make the drive to go to a different AYCE restaurant.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

First off, my husband and I decided to eat here recently because well WHY NOT. I wanted to Update my review, this is 2022! All you can eat for $29.00 the price definitely went up a lot, and they don't have a lunch price anymore, cause for my husband and I we were charged $60 something for the both of us ONLY for the all you can eat. It was exactly 11am, (the time the restaurant says it's going to open) on yelp the hours were 11am, the man inside said they were opening at 11am.... Funny story, it was 11am when we arrived! The restaurant was still closed, lights turned off, no employees in sight except for the man who told us they opened at 11? We ended up waiting for about 20 min until the other employees came to work... yeah late. Although the employees were super apologetic, we were still kinda confused about the whole situation, if your hours say 11. You should arrive to work a litter earlier right? Food: Don't get me wrong, the food is always delicious. They added a bunch of new items to the menu, garlic pork belly, garlic shrimp and a bunch of other seafood items. The water they gave us was warm, tasted a little funny. I noticed they don't give lettuce now, they charge $7.00 for lettuce, I'm not sure how much they give but for $7.00 better be a decent amount lol. Same sides, sprouts, shoyu potato, kimchi, and Mac salad. All in all, the restaurant itself is somewhat clean, the floors are SUPER greasy and slippery so be careful.

Whiskey Smoke 808…read more Whiskey Smoke 808 @whiskeysmoke_808 is a family-owned BBQ spot right in the heart of Kāneʻohe, serving up wood-smoked meats with local island flavors. We stopped in for lunch around noon this past Sunday, and it was already fairly busy. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. I ordered the 2 Choice Plate with pulehu ribs and brisket, along with potato mac and BBQ beans. We also ordered the All Meat Plate, which was a great way to sample several of their popular meats and came with pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, by the time we ordered, they were already sold out of the cornbread, peach cobbler, and brisket meatloaf. So if there's something specific you want to try, I'd definitely recommend getting there earlier! Of course, I had to try a couple of their sauces too--the Coffee Bourbon and Guava Chili Pepper. My mom and I also shared the cherry cobbler and banana pudding for dessert. My favorites were definitely the pulehu ribs and BBQ beans. The ribs had great flavor, and those beans were probably the side I'd order again without hesitation. Service could use some improvement. Our first plate took over 20 minutes, with the second arriving more than 10 minutes later, making it hard to enjoy our meal together. We also waited an additional 30 minutes for the freshly baked cherry cobbler. The staff was friendly, but better timing and communication would've made the overall experience much smoother. The banana pudding, on the other hand, was really good and ended the meal on a sweet note! Would I come back? Yes. There are still a few sold-out items I'd like to try, especially that brisket meatloaf and peach cobbler. So I'll definitely come earlier next time. Supporting a locally owned, family-run Kāneʻohe business while getting my BBQ fix? I'm here for it. #queeniesdiabadassfoodjourney #hawaiistagram #supportlocal #hawaiieats #diabeticfoodie

Ever since one of my coworkers posted her spread from this spot like a whole year ago, I've been…read morewanting to check this spot out. My partner and I made the drive from town to Kailua just to check this spot out. They have parking in the back but it is shared with the other estblishements and residents in the building, just read the labels of the spots to ensure you can park there! We were seated fairly quickly and was given utensils, waters, and the menu. Our seat was outside, on a small table. It was a bit sticky but the waitress was nice enough to wipe it down for us. We ordered: * Brisket Poutine: 7.2/10 This was solid. It is a pretty substantial starter. There weren't that much brisket within but pieces and a few chunks sprinkled in. My main complaint would be the fries. They were not that crunchy, so along with the gravy, it was very quickly turned into mush. I also feel like there should be more cheese, especially with the amount of gravy. * Brisket Burnt Ends: 8.1/10 This was pretty good. It is just a very small amount of meat. * Sticky Ribs 1/2 Rack: 8/10 this was pretty solid. My partner liked it quite a lot. I wish that it was a bit more tender but the flavor was on point. I really enjoyed the charred bits. It's sweet and nicely spiced * 2 Meat Plate: o Pork Belly: 8.4/10 I liked this quite a lot. Like more than I even expected. The fattiness of the pork belly contrasted nicely with the charred flavor and satisfied my craving for grilled meats. o Brisket: 7.8/10 I liked this too, the fat contrasted well with the leaner part of the brisket. it was flavorful. * SIDES: o Mac & Cheese: I liked this a lot, it was a bit overcooked and the cheese started to separate slowly but it was still delicious (you can already see the separation in the pictures). I wish they included more parts of the cooked golden cheese parts. o Baked Beans: This was okay, if you like sweet baked beans you may really enjoy this. This is my first time having baked beans so I found out quickly it isn't exactly my forte. o Corn: This was really good, I liked this side almost as much as the mac n cheese. It is nicely spiced, creamy, and cheesy. My partner said it reminded him of a cheesier esquites. o Tater Tots: Solid tater tots o Grilled Corn Bread: Really good, and came with honey butter which paired nicely. They also have 3 types of sauces at each table: * Kailua Green, Crack Seed, and Classic Over Easy I didn't care for the crack seed one, it was too fruity and a bit odd for me. I liked the Kailua green and the classic one as well. I sometimes mixed the two as well. I'd say everything was pretty solid, my main note is just the portion sizes. I feel like other than the ribs, all of the other meats had a very small serving (like the two meats plate, we got two cuts of the pork belly and two of the brisket). Since we ordered a lot we definitely got full (and had some to take home), but if you only ordered a BBQ plate, it might not be enough food for you. I would possibly come back again, but only if I happened to be nearby, I wouldn't say it's particularly worth the drive from town.

I ordered the brisket burger and beans, and it was huge. It was delicious and messy, the beans were surprisingly good (I'm Midwestern and know my beans). Decent price point for a BBQ restaurant. My dining partner got the special which was a birria sandwich and I totally forgot what it was called or what was involved but he loveeed it. Says it should be a permanent staple on the menu. Great time with some yummy food. Totally worth it

There was no line and really nobody waiting ahead of us. The lady that took our order was very nice and I appreciated that they use a speaker to talk to us so I can hear her clearly. I was surprised that there was no seating, it's basically a walk-up counter with a display of their desserts. We had to eat in the trunk of our SUV which was a slight inconvenience for us. We had no idea what to order but I knew for sure I wanted to try their famous pasta noodles. So I ordered their popular combo #2: Taro Pasta w/ Shrimp, Luau Leaves, Mushrooms, & Coconut Cream Sauce for $29.98 and a slice of their Ube cheesecake. I was shocked at their prices. If you were to build your own pasta, each topping is $8.99+. I understand supporting local businesses but dang it's burning a hole in my wallet. Anyway on to the food. The pasta was good but disappointed at how sparse they went with the toppings. The pasta noodles were good and tasted like taro. The Ube cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. It's a big tall slice but the crust was very thin. It was lacking in Ube flavor, which if I had to guess, comes from Ube extract. I could tell because my mouth was blue after eating it. This place is pretty hyped up, I'm finding it hard to see why. Overall, I guess I expected more based on the raving reviews. My experience was just mid.

The service is decent--not exceptional, but good enough that it doesn't take away from the experience. The only downside for me is the dinner menu.
