    Meat jun
    Amy L.

    Crazy to think there's no meat Jun in the mainland. It's an old school restaurant with the classic Korean dishes. Naengmyun - chewy noodles and ice cold vinegary broth was so good on a hot day. The meat jun had a thick slice of meat, not too eggy. The Kalbi was also finger licking good.

    The best cold noodles in town. It's a must try , for those who haven't had it. Good service and great clean restaurant, parking can be a bit challenging during peak hours. This restaurant has very clean restrooms too.

    Today I got to try the Spicy Squid and it was good. The service was friendly and they are in a very convenient place.

    A small pretty simple Korean restaurant, not many items to choose from. You can view the menu in my photos. They do have their own parking lot that share with a golf shop next door. I believe the cold Noodle is one of the very popular item because a lot of people ordered that noodle. Since this is the first time we visit this restaurant, the waitress was very nice and explain to us about the menu. We did try the ice cold noodle, it was surprisingly good and very refreshing. We ordered a combination dinner with the short rib and soft tofu soup. I must say the short rib is just average and the soft Tofu soup is very small but with a lot of tofu, the portion is like a side order. The small little side dishes are just OK in our opinion. If you're really enjoy a lot of good side dishes, you need to go try Hangang, they have so many side dishes. We don't think we will come back because the food is not that impressive. Well, you never know until you try it, especially as a Yelp reviewer, I will keep trying new restaurants

    Kalbi and spicy pork
    Michaela S.

    Best cold noodles on the island. Except I only have had it at one other place. But still! The first time I tried it, I was blown away. Now, this is the only place I come to for cold noodles. The spicy one is amazing. It's not too spicy (I don't really like spicy food) and more flavorful than the regular one. The noodles are perfectly chewy. The kalbi is my favorite pairing. It is flavored perfectly and comes on a sizzling platter. Bring a friend and get set A. Two orders of cold noodles and a side of your choice (spicy pork, bulgogi, or kalbi). Authentic (I think), delicious, and a hidden gem.

    Spicy pork, Kalbi

    Location wise is definitely not ideal as the parking stalls are quite tight and located right next to the McKinley Car Wash which always has a crazy line extending onto Kapiolani Blvd. If you do decide to go, Sunday would be an ideal day when the car wash is closed. My family was really craving Naengmyeon so we all went for lunch. They offer two types of naengmyeon which is mul (water) or bibim (mixing). The mul naengmyeon is noodles in an ice slushy or broth with crushed ice. The bibim is more saucy and has the broth on the side. I personally prefer the bibim in terms of flavor wise since it won't be as diluted in the broth. They also give you extra vinegar and mustard to add to your broth as well. The mul naengmyeon but good but somehow I felt something was missing. They offer a combo where you get one choice of meat and a naengmyeon. We got the kalbi and spicy pork. The kalbi had a great flavor and was soft. The spicy pork was soft but was a little too salty with the sauce. Customer service wise, it was not great. There were times a lot of the workers were standing around in the back but rarely refilled our waters or asked if we needed anything else. Even the table next to us had to flag them down for more napkins. When we paid our bill, my sister said they were commenting about how much they got tipped in Korean. A bit unprofessional I would say. Overall the food was pretty good but in terms of other criteria, I'm not sure if I would visit again

    Spicy Cold Buckwhear Noodles
    Keisha C.

    Such good cold noodles!! We and my friend split the deal with two bowls of cold noodle and bulgogi. We both got the spicy cold noodles which had the perfect amount of spice where it adds flavor without burning your mouth. Bulgogi was flavorful but the cold noodles were the star. They have a few parking stalls in front of their store and lots of seating inside!

    First time here my friend said this place is good so had to give it a try. Their located in the same parking lot of Pro Am golf shop next door to McKinley car wash. My friend raves about their spicy cold black noodles . Since I don't really like spicy we ordered the mild plus Kalbi. For $38.95 it comes with 1 soup and a choice of meat either Kalbi, Bulgogi or spicy pork. Not bad at all it can feed 2 people easily. They also have a lunch special with a choice of 2 soup and choice of meat for $54.95. Next time I probably will order the spicy soup noodles because it was very mild tasting . The Kalbi was ok a little on the rubbery side but good taste . Their bachan had a good selection kimchi ,bean sprouts, daikon, cabbage and fish Cake . Service was ok but can use a little more friendliness. Support local next time I'll probably order their Bulgogi and spicy pork

    We tried again last night. Did take out and I must say that the cold noodle dish my husband was raving about was refreshing. Honestly though, the meat jun and chicken were just a tad dry. I think the food was better when we ate in the last time. Go figure. I'd go back for that soup though. It was really good!

    Always come here for cold noodle. Kalbi is tasty but meat is little bit tough. I still like it Cold noodle is very good for hot day! It's the best choice to cool down.

    Kalbi
    Macy H.

    Wanting something refreshing on a hot day, we stopped in for some cold noodle. The cold noodle was delicious -- refreshingly tasty with a bit of umami. I also liked that the ice was blended into a slush to make it easier to eat. We got the combination with two cold noodles and one kalbi. The kalbi was also good, but nothing extraordinary. I did like the sizzling plate the kalbi came with that was sautéing the onions as we ate. It is a little pricy for what you get, but the food is good (which is what we were there for!).

    Cold Buckwhear Noodles With Vegetables On Tray  IG @AmyNsEats

    I would give the cold noodles - both the regular and spicy - five stars! Everything else is just OK in my opinion. We got some bulgogi, japchae and the banchan all to go. I loved how it was packaged, and the sauce still had ice. The cold noodles are chewy and delicious, everything I could ask for! The bulgogi, japchae we're a bit too sweet for our liking. It was fairly pricey for the amount that we got even for takeout. Also, the amount of bunch we got for four entrées was pretty slim, I was hoping for it to be a little more generous. Bottom line, eat the cold noodles in the shop where you can have as much on as you like!

    All I can say about eating at the - "Fun Station" is that it's more fun when eating with a friend,…read more& getting a 20% discount.........well, that's just an extra bonus! So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono! Overall, a very satisfying meal and the service here was on point, as the staff was friendly & very efficient. Easy 5 stars for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles! Chance 'em!

Food was promptly delivered, and staff was very friendly. It's also BYOB and there's a Foodland in the parking lot so that was a plus as we went to the store to get some alcohol. Restaurant is very casual with about 10 to 12 tables. They were pretty busy when we arrived, but they moved with the quickness to make sure everyone got their food timely. I love the presentation of the flying noodle, although I was in a fan of the dish itself as it had a little sweetness, which I wasn't a fan of. It was just OK to me. However, everything else we ate was tasty and decently priced.

Had the beef noodle classic -flavor in broth was decent, but could use with additional pickle vegetables to bring some sour and cut the richness of the broth. beef itself was very tender and came in separate bowl. Breakdown easily. not spicy at all though. next dish tried - was the pickle fish noodle - first time trying to dish anywhere. Surprisingly preferred this over the beef noodle. a little bit of sour, but just the right amount with the creamy broth mix. This with the chewy noodle was bomb.
